The gardeners showed up

[mike]

Some grab-ass and then they split without finishing the mowing.

Slackers!



The, uh, trash collectors showed up too, but they don't get a friendly reception.

What can you expect for cheap labor.

I like this topic because I miss having a gardener.

At our old place we paid $60 a month and the guy came once a week. This guy was good.. reseeded the grass, trimmed the roses, and fixed/adjusted the sprinklers for us without ever having to ask.

We got a quote with our new house and both places wanted about $120ish and only came once every other week.

I ended up buying a lawn mower and dread every time I have to go out there in the blistering heat. lol

If you guys don't mind.. how much do you pay for your gardeners?

$120 a month, weekly visit.

I mow my own lawn and do other light maintenance so I only pay for like 2 gallons of gas a year. Heavier trimming I use a guy for.

I literally mowed lawns at Harvard to help pay my way through college in Boston so I don’t mind getting a little sweaty in the heat here in So Cal. Beers earned!

Haha, those guys must be union!

I always stay inside when my gardeners start bugling.

Can you give me a quote for my front lawn only, once a week.
thank you

3-6 beers, depending on the size. Oh and you supply the mower/trimmer/blower.

$100/month with weekly (usually) service. I keep thinking of having my kids do it, but I'd prefer to have it done right.

My kids are for sure gonna do yard work for allowance money and I’ll teach them how, especially my son. Part of why my wife married me is I can do things around the house and not have to rely on my wallet for everything.

I read all the responses to the initial post and thought OK, this is a discussion about hiring gardeners vs doing it yourself. Then I went back and clicked on the video...



At least they eat and fertilize at the same time

Wanting it done right means paying someone, or doing it myself. Kids just do it half-assed at best.

 

[Sidewalk]

I don't know how they make any money at $100 a month!

<--------Gardeners (more than $100/month)

Guess it depends on how old, also my dad didn't let me do a half assed job so I had to learn to do it right.

But I'm a half-assed parent...

Volume.

My lawn's looking a little shabby. Think I'll run down to the Elks Lodge and see if there's any volunteers.

Wait - gardeners? Are you living in CO now @mike ? I figured it was just an extended trip.
