Quote:I used to do my own lawn for several years, but after having to spend over an hour just mowing, another 1/2 hour minimum getting the weed eater to start and run and yet another 1/2 hour messing with the edger to get it going, I finally gave up and hired a guy.  What used to take me 3+ hours to accomplish takes him about 30 minutes.  That includes mowing the back and front yards, weed eating, edging and blowing the clippings off.  A bonus for me is he lives just a couple of blocks away in my sub-division.

 

It might cost me a little more in the long run, but the way that I look at it is I don't have to go and sweat my behind off in the heat fighting the equipment.

 

My advice is to look for someone that already does the service in your neighborhood.  I can ask the guy that does my yard if he's up for another customer.  PM me your general location and I'll find out if he goes that far for work.
