What is the right way to mow a lawn when it's on a slight hill?

Question

I just bought a house (1st time buyer) and my front lawn is flat for a while then goes uphill toward the house until about 5 feet from the house then it goes flat again. I don't have the strength to push or pull the mower when it's as steep as it is. I feel the neighbors are laughing at me. Help!

Answer 1

maybe you could try mowing it side to side on the hill vs. strait up and down

Answer 2

Get a self propelled mower before you slip and lose a foot.

Answer 3

go up or down hill diagonally. it is easier
