Probably will charge basically the same. Mower time is easy I think so too.

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 answer Bob’s question? They lifted his bbq tool!

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

My back has gotten too bad for me to run my "weed eater', so last summer I tried to find someone to just come trim. Had no luck, so they come every other week to mow and trim. I mow the yard during the "off" week. I've thought about spraying Round Up as well.

I've got a guy that will come and do whatever you want. $30 an hour, 2 hour minimum. I've got about 400' of fence and drive he does about once a month. I have him take it down to bare dirt. PM me for his name and number.

Weed/grass killer under the fence for sure.
But I'd bet a yard guy would come out and do the work for the fence and driveway for that amount of work. Maybe not for a smaller lot but that's a decent amount of work

My guy will... He shows up with his crew (all Americans)... Normally 3 on mowers and 3 with weed eaters... He knocks out my yard and the next door neighbors each visit... We have him on a 10 day rotation... He cuts the front only one visit then does the front and back the next (the backyard is heavily wooded and grass is spotty so it doesn't need it every time he shows)... Our yards are on a gentle sloping hill to the lake but it drops off drastically at the lake, the mowers don't like too close to the water's edge, mowers stop about 10' from the water... The weed eaters take over and finish the rest... We also have a small drainage creek on one side. The weed eaters take care of that also... They trim the driveway and walks, when the guys on the mowers are finished the grab the leaf blowers and clean up any clipping on driveways and walks... We even have them come back in the early winter to blow all the leaves into the woods next to our house... They'll do anything to make a buck... Just tell them exactly what you want... And get a couple quotes, they can vary quite a bit... Dan
