[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We mow our lawn, rake and bag all our leaves, buy mulch and clean our beds, plant flowers in the spring and fall. We also clean our house, mop our floors, clean bathrooms.  I can’t understand how people can afford $150/week for a cleaning service and $50/week mowing service.  It’s sooo $$$ in this area.

Ouch, yes! Labor is super expensive in this area, but paying $$ for manual labor frees me to concentrate on whatever I am prioritizing.

[b]As an immigrant, I think it is ridiculous that without affordable landscapers and gardners available, there still exists a iculture of huge lawns and yards in this country. [/b][/quote]

Interesting observation! It's true, we pay a lot for gardeners and they are very expensive because they need living wages and there's decent organization of the landscaping companies. I hate how much we have to pay. And like many on here I didn't purposefully buy a house with a big yard. Just was the total package and now I have this responsibility! So we cut back in other areas. But any of that is better than paying people pennies like they do in other countries. [/quote]
