The issue is cost. I just need people to rip vines out of the ground, most in the back and side areas. My husband and I have been doing it but there’s just not enough time in the day to do the whole thing. Once I get them pulled out of the beds, I can plant and/or mulch.

I’m trying to get other lawn care services and the estimates are crazy (to me at least as a new homeowner). The last company said $12,000 for the season and that doesn’t include mowing. And my yard isn’t even very large. [/quote]

Yea, well, the "issue is cost" for a lot of things when it comes to home ownership.  That doesn't mean you underpay teenagers.

Considering going to your local Home Depot and scanning the parking lot for day laborers looking for work.  Sure, they're undocumented.  So what.  They'll work hard and get the job done.  Just pay them a fair wage -- [b]no less than $30 a hour if you're in the DMV[/b].[/quote]

You're insane. [/quote]
