Same here.
I tend to do it Friday afternoons after work.
1. I can sleep in on the weekends.
2. I get more done over the weekend.
3. If we go away for the weekend, the grass is cut when we get back instead of a jungle.
How early is too early to mow your lawn?

My grass gets mowed whenever Mr. Grass-Cutting-Dude shows up at my house.It is totally worth the $$ to have someone else cut our grass for us.....it gives us time to have FUN!
same here. I think one of them stays up late to let them out to bark then someone takes the wee hours of the morning shift to let them out again.
Everyday?

Not sure. I don't hear it if the windows are closed or I'm in a deep sleep.

Ok.....
Talked with my neighbor yesterday. None of the neighbors play the anthem. Apparently what I have been hearing is the 8am flag raising from the parade grounds on the base. I had no idea the sound was traveling that far. Speakers must be pointed in my general direction.
It's really sad that when someone semi-close to us started to mow the lawn or weed eat before 7 a.m. (either a Fri or Sat morning) I immediately thought of this thread
I'm an odd character I think as in I don't mind when "outside" sounds / occurrences of "normal" nature wake me up. My house faces directly into the morning sun and I intentionally leave my blinds open so the sun lights up our room. My wife hates this so sometimes I have to raise them after she goes to sleep. I love being woken up by the sun. I don't mind hearing a lawn mower running as it makes me think of a "nice day" (decent weather) which gets me motivated to get up and going. I honestly feel more rested waking this way as opposed to blanketing my room in darkness and waking up at 9AM when my body starts to ache because I've been horizontal too long.
As for me - I'm usually not cutting grass any earlier than 9AM simply because that is how timing works out. Get up, do a couple odds/end in the house, feed kids, etc. By the time the garage door opens - it's usually around 9AM. May do an earlier run if the schedule is booked tight and it's gonna be a blazer.

That may be the Coast Guard station that you hear @ 0800, we hear it often.

Really! This is on the books
I assume "noise" is all inclusive, Mom yelling at the kids, dogs barking, chain saws, etc... Anyone ever hear of this being enforced? Sounds like an avenue to shut-down your noisy neighbors!

Yes, I looked it up when the contractors building our neighborhood started showing up at 0530 on a weekend to begin work. I know they have a job to do and would like to get as much accomplished when it's cooler outside... but come on, 0530 with the generators, compressors, nail guns...
If it were a neighbor, I would talk to them first to resolve the issue...
