Mine does it for $30 and my yard has a lot of stuff in it like ground cover, shrubs, trees etc... It's nearly an acre. His guys even get on the roof and blow off the leaves periodically.
Damn, I can see why you get it done now. That's cheap.

Hire a yard guy and you'll have more time to do that. (Sorry, but I couldn't resist that!)
Touche'. I still have plenty of time to cook, just haven't done it.

Visit the food board. I've learned a lot from it
quote:
My yard guy charges $40 per job to mow, weed eat, edge, and blow
That's a really good price. Looking around $500 a year for that. The yard at my old house had to be done weekly, no way that would be more economical. My yard now is every two weeks.

It's probably one of the best returns on investment when it comes to time saved.
I guess it's different when you actually enjoy doing it.

I completely understand this for other folks. Cooking and other things are extremely therapeutic for me, so I get that.
That's great. I want to cook more.
quote:
Out of curiosity, how much did your mower, weed eater, edger, and blower cost? And how much in gas every month?
Total for all 3, about $700. Have had them for several years. Gas, maybe $20 a summer. Might be a little more now with higher gas prices.
My yard is pretty plain so it is very easy to do.

That is a name I haven't heard in a long time.

He also does all the landscaping and changing out the plants and flowers seasonally.
I agree with this. I suck at doing that stuff.

Works great for me and for him.

Yes it is.

My yard guy takes pride in the way he does my yard and so do I.
I take pride in other things I do. I despise yard work. Some folks enjoy it. You do you too.
He takes pride in taking your money. No worries, I like spending my money on better things. At the end of the day, as long as it gets done is all that matters. :cheers:

Cub Cadet Z2 50. Bought it a week ago and now realize I need a bigger yard lol.
Lol, I could get one but would have the same issue. I actually like my self propelled.
1/2 acre. Anything more is ridiculous.

Extremely high demand for ice is causing a brain freeze for some local ice suppliers.
quote:
“This past Tuesday I think was the first time we ever had no ice,” said Kendall Shimazu, owner of Shimazu Shave Ice. “We never had it where I couldn’t completely open, but it just happened.”
quote:
A mixture of loosened restrictions, summer and tourism is building up the need for ice. But how hard is it to make more?
quote:
“Our ice process takes anywhere from 16 to 20 hours to generate more people to fill the bin. So it’s not like a continuous process. It’s sort of long drawn out process that we need to have different shifts at different hours to try and replenish our stuff,”
quote:LINK
Experts expect the demand to stabilize in September when summer cools down.
quote:
It's well worth it to me to pay people to mow, edge etc... I have other things to do.
Okay, you do you. Most people take pride in doing their yards. I guess I was raised differently...

Why don’t you just hire people like 98% of the OT does and not have to worry about your lawn looking like a New Iberia haircut?
I don't like wasting money. Unless someone has acres to cut, it is laziness to hire someone.

A much simpler time and I agree.
