- Bi-Weekly mowing and maybe 10 hours annually for maintenance = $624/yr or $28/hr savings.

So is sleeping in worth between $38/hr and $28/hr (possibly a little more in your case due to the large yard)?
This looks so justified, i don't see any reason why i should not do in this case. Making $40 an hour in free time do make sense and that too when its going to take just an hour, i am definitely not going to be sleep deprived .
