NPR: Who does your lawn- and if you have someone do it...

how much do you pay and how often?
DH and I want to get a service to come in and do our lawn maybe 2x a month. I wanted to get an idea about how much that costs... TIA

Re: NPR: Who does your lawn- and if you have someone do it...

We pay $25 per week including tax. That includes clean up at the end of the year.

ETA: I think it's more if you have them come every other week. Maybe $30-$35

We have a landscaper. We pay $29 a week but we have a decent sized yard. My mom's is smaller and the same landscaper charges her $25 a week.

We pay extra for stuff like spring and fall cleanup.

We just got ours this week...LOVING it!! And my DH is soo relieved--money well spent!

Anyhow, our guy comes every week and it's $100 a month. Our property is 60x100. I think that includes mowing/blowing as well as fertilizing/seeding and turning over the flower beds. And then it increases to I think $150 a month for October or November, or both...I forgot. Anyway, the amount of trees and leaves on our block is INSANE!

We pay $25 per week for mowing and cleanup...extra at certain times in the year for something or other...DH handles it.

We just grabbed the guys that do our neighbor's lawn...they do a good job and he likes them so when DH saw them over there one day he spoke to them.
