    Has anyone had a neighborhood boy come now the yard for you? Not sure if I'd have to worry about age and such.

    We hired the neighbor teen this summer. He's responsible. And we're home when he does it. He loves the cash and we love the freedom of not having to do it.

    I have never hired someone to mow and I have mown others lawn like my mum and grandma.

    It's only a quick 30-60 min job every few weeks over summer and every few months over winter.

    I no have a lawn but when I did I hired out. It's a lot of work to cut the grass, trim the edges and snip the bushes.

    Please hire me

    Both. I do the weeding, hire someone to do the mowing and tree trimming.

    So you can stand outside my window?

    Standing yes but you may see a bit of movement.

    I live in an apartment in Berlin. Berlin doesn't believe in lawns. Perfect.

    For period of time they didn't believe in world peace either. Maybe if they had lawns....

    I just sent a text telling my lawn-care-provider (aka Zach) that my yard was looking shaggy and that his check for $75 is in the wreath in the front door.

    That was grueling and I am exhausted...

    Well, it wouldn't do much based on the video. It keeps starting and then stopping, only to repeat.

    It eventually finishes though.

    We both take care of it.. we decided that we will keep doing it until we get to old to do it.. another way to keep moving and active and some satisfaction too from doing it yourself..
