If they are doing one close by your house maybe but why would you want to do it that way?

Never hurts to ask. Find one that already does a few lawns in your area.

Do have any neighbors with a trimmer? Offer to mow their grass( reasonable sized yard) if they trim yours.
I'm sure the lawn guys will come out and will do as less as possible if you ask. I believe they will treat it as a service call situation. Flat fee. The same as they charge to mow it.
Asking them to only trim is kinda like asking the city to not charge you during the weeks you don't put the trash bin out.

Will, they yes. But I wouldn't want them only doing that part as they could butcher what the mower has done, or vice versa.

Sell the mower. Hire a lawn crew and go fishing on the weekends.

Not trying to down lawn care professionals. But I had a guy steal my BBQ tool.
My bbq tool was a section of 1/4" soft steel bar with a bright orange Snap-On screwdriver handle glued on.
Really? It wasn't a real Snap-On, dummy.
A man's bbq tool? That's low down dog dirty.

What does this have to do with lawn care or answering Bob’s question?
