Just don't get it on your good plants.

I'm here full-time, and I do my nearby snowbird neighbors front yards and drive-ways just to keep the neighborhood from looking grown over, so I know what you mean.
I guess the monthly yard service is the best you'll do since you don't live next door to me!
You are a wonderful neighbor and much more generous with your time than I would be. When we were seasonal residents and owned a patio villa, we paid companies to cut the lawn, spray for pests, trim shrubs and trees, fertilize and weed the flower beds. IMHO, anyone who owns an additional home should pay to have it kept up, including weeding the beds. That should not be up to the neighbors to do to keep the neighborhood looking maintained.
