It's expensive here and tough to find reliable people. I pay 225 a month for weekly visits, but that includes the mowing, trimming a ton of shrubs, hedges, huge flowering plants that run all the way up to the top of the garage and back down, fertilizing and seeding, taking care of the irrigation system (and being on call when something shits the bed - I've had to replace four different irrigation valves in the past year and they always seem to go on a weekend), taking care of all the landscaping behind the pool - and when I ask them nicely, cutting down the asshole neighbor's pampas grass that keeps growing into my yard. I used to pay an illegal $175 a month, but he was paying less and less attention to everything by the month. I figure it would cost me a lot more than $55 a week in lost revenue if I took time off from work to do it all myself - we have a ton of shit to do for such a small lot lol.
