How much would you pay a family member to mow your lawn?
I have no idea what landscapers charge and they wont tell me over the phone
but my father wants to hire my DH to mow his lawn and we dont know what to ask for $$. It takes about 2 hours, my dad randomly planted all these trees and so it takes a while to mow around them and their house is on a hill - its about 2 acres, but the lawn part is probably an acre. (Im terrible at guessing this stuff)
DH was thinking $50 a week, but it seems steep to me....
Any ideas?

I pay my landscaper $26/wk to cut the grass, edge and blow the stuff off the driveway. Takes them about 30 minutes but I have a small but weird shaped property.

I guess it would depend on the size of the lawn, how long it takes, etc. I pay $45/week for over 2/3 acre, cutting, weeding, trimmimg, blowing, etc. They have a big crew and are usually in and out in 20 minutes.

My DH's company does our next door neighbor's very small yard for $25 a week. DH does not own the company - it's a company that just does commercial landscaping - but she's a widow in her 60's and he wants to help her out.
