Do you tip for weekly lawn maintenance?

Thanks to all who responded to my post a couple weeks ago asking the average price for a landscaper to mow your lawn. Now I'm wondering if it's expected to tip them when they're done? It took a team of 6 men about a half hour to mow our lawn. Normally DH and I tip for any services we pay for. But how do we fairly tip 6 men without doubling the cost for the maintenance? Chat Icon

We don't tip. There are usually 3 people at our house each week. It's not necessary. You can send a tip during the holidays though.

NO way! the owner pays them for a day's worth of work.. meaning to do your lawn and everyone else's that day.. no need to tip!
