For many people it is more than just mowing. So people often need a string trimmer or edger. Then also some sort of shrubbery trimmer. Plus hand tools for the basic yard care. Tool costs plus maintenance on them and fuel plus time is rarely worth it for the average person who is lucky to get 2 days off a week to be home. I know for a fact that many people just do not want to give up that 30 minutes to a couple hours each week to do the yard when they could be spending their days off doing ANYTHING else. Now if you work from home, then well I can see it - again unless your time is worth more and you do not enjoy doing it.
At times there is hardly anything worse than it being 110 degrees plus outside. Having to mow and edge the yard. Trim the bushes. Rake up all the leaves under the bushes. Blow the side walks and drive way. Then spray for weeds. Each requiring equipment swaps and almost all of them hot heavy equipment. Of course when your done cleaning all your tools. Now given the choice between that and paying some people 35 bucks, well they could of got more.
