You don't say if you will be seasonal or full time here. In the last 18 months I had 2 companies for mowing and gardening care; both are no longer working for me. Lowe's sells mowers, blowers, and edgers. It gets hot here in the summer, so I edge one day and mow the next. Yard waste pickup day is Wednesday for me (not sure if it is for every neighborhood), but its good to get that stuff cleaned up and at the curb for pickup weekly. The man at ACE gave me a list of what to treat the lawn with and when. Its working and my lawn looks better now with self care. I wish you the best. Lots to figure out here. As for irrigation, my box in the garage has a sticker with recommendations. I think the most important thing is to hire a pest company here that is reputable. I use the Village Pest at 352-245-4522. Jay is wonderful.
