We do all that along with our own fertilizing, weed and pest control. My neighbor laughs at me for doing all my own stuff as "he" does not have time for such trivial labor being retired. Yet he has the time to walk his dog around 3 times a day.
One year in I have more than easily recovered all my initial costs all while having complete control of my outcomes. Given our small yards, I am surprised more are not into "doing it yourself."
To each their own
