[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a huge maintained yard (about an acre), and it's all outsourced, except the native garden I'm starting, so about 22K/year.[/quote] What type of maintenance costs almost 2K per month? There seems to be a huge gap in prices (judging by the reply of another poster with .75 acre lot paying less than 5K a year who also outsources)[/quote] I think it largely depends on how many planting beds you have, their size, the types of plants you have, etc. For instance, just the mulch alone (labor + material) is about 7K; it takes a crew of 4 or 5, 2-3 days to do it. The rest is weekly mowing, turf care (pre-emergents, broadleaf weed control, grub control, soil testing, liming if necessary, fall fertilization, aeration/seeding), flagging irrigation/turn on and winterization, spring cleanup, weeding visits 2x a month, to include light/seasonal pruning, pruning visits, fertilization, Integrated pest management, and leaf cleanup.[/quote]
