Hey again
@Serenity1. It's not that often that I wish I had a partner or another adult around to make decisions, but this kind of stuff can do it. I really, really suck at things like this and can easily feel overwhelmed and confused too. Often when I'm needing to make a decision about something I don't know much about, particularly when the other person is some kind of he person expert, I feel anxious and all I seem to hear is jumble
😏I do our yard myself and use a normal, not ride on mower. As far as that one goes, if your yard isn't giant a push kind of mower should do the job. In saying that, it sounds like you have a good feeling about the first person and that to me is usually a sign I'm making a decent choice.
If you feel comfortable doing so, it might be worth talking to the first place you contacted, perhaps asking them what is they offer for the big price difference. There could be something in there that they haven't mentioned that would make this decision easier for you. It's totally reasonable for you to ask about the weed and spray you were offered by the other people too.
Hope you can figure something out that feels right for you soon.
