Default Re: Does anybody pay to have their lawn done?

A timely question. For 10 years i've cut my1.5 acres myself with a walk-behind mower. Exhausting, but good exercise.

After my surgery, i arranged to have a local mower guy i know do it for me for just a few weeks, then decided to splurge and have him do it the rest of the summer. He's doing it for just $30, and i will continue to do the trimming, which he doesn't like to do anyway. For this area, that's a great price; most other guys would charge me $50. For him, i'm a new customer he wouldn't otherwise have, and since i pay him in cash, i have a feeling (whisper) he won't be reporting the income. And for me, it's a huge time saver.
