[quote=Anonymous]We do a lot on our own, but there are 5 million leaves on our property and that's after filling nearly 30 bags in the fall. There's a lot of fresh mulching to do, also. We are 62.... both in great shape. We are not elderly or infirmed- no arthritis or back problems.

Buying 20 to 30  lbs of mulch..yes, it's only 1/4 acre, is crazy after trying to purchase it, pile it up in 3 loads,  drag it all over the place,  and it's never done in one weekend. It's weeks. Now I hire guys to do the base work and clean up, and we do the rest. And there's still LOTS to do. This year they are removing some dead small trees shrubs, trim back shrubs, mulch over a large area after replacing weed cloth, planting some more stuff...about 2k. And aerate and  seed some grass ( HATE GRASS, ACTUALLY),and clean up those leaves. Next year it will just be mulch and leaves. The following year- a bigger job like this.

Hiring is a good deal for us. I shop around,  but when I find someone good, I generally stick with them.[/quote]
