landscaping help.

Those who will use a bush hog usually have to rent one for ~ $200/day.

It is practically impossible around here to hire someone to just cut grass or just weed. They all insist on a big contract that includes doing the beds for $800 a pop twice per year. And god forbid you don’t want them to spray w/ forever chemicals.

Pick workers up at Home Depot- They want to get paid for a full day & then will work excruciatingly slow 😆.

Sorry, but my advise is to stick with your cousin- atleast he’s reasonable!
