I'm a contrarian, we're part timers, but are here monthly.

I do my own pest control and have not had a problem.

When you say landscaper, do you really mean landscaping or someone to cut the grass (ongoing maintenance). The grass doesn't grow that darned fast here even in summer and not at all in winter.

Use Preen for weed control, once every 3 months, works like a charm.

You have to monitor all contractors, in my opinion, nature of the game. Though there are good ones for sure (plenty of recommendations above).
Lots of people don't want to mess with the upkeep, so I understand that too.
Best wishes.
