Hell yeah.. forget that! When I was MUCH younger, probably 13 or 14, my parents took off for the day and my punishment (for god knows what) was to do the yard. I called a yard service and paid them with my babysitting money. LOL
Yep! Good ol' Fchat. Lawnmowing to cooking to grocery shopping in just a few posts. I love this place
My god...how big is your yard? I pay our yard guys $100 per month for 7mos/yr plus another $300 or so for leaf cleanups, etc. I do all the fertilizing and weed control. I've done most of the grocery shopping for 5 or 6 years, I enjoy that.
It includes plantings, redoing the annual beds, watering, chemicals, pine straw etc. Cutting down the occasional tree etc etc. I looked it up, actually $3248 for 2004, last full year. 3.5 acres.
That's pretty decent considering my lot is 70x140, less than .25 acre, with 4000+ feet of house and other non-grass surfaces.
Actually I only have two plots of grass, each about 30 feet by 50 feet, ~2 acres is just woods, rest is bedding.
