Get to know your neighbors. You may find an established provider that will do your lawn due to proximity. Weeding is the most expensive item on your list. It may be harder to find a provider for that, as most independent lawn cutters don’t include the service. A member of the mowing crew might be willing to do it for extra money. We have found that using pine straw in beds a la villages helps reduce, not eliminate, the amount of weeds. Rock beds seem to become weed beds.
