I had a client whose lawn was truly a disaster. They finally got rid of their lawn service and hired KB. I was truly impressed with how quickly they got the lawn in shape and how well they have maintained it since.
However, I do agree that the best looking lawns are those done by the homeowners. If you have the time, I think the best method is to have someone come and do the weekly mowing and you do your own fertilizing and weedkilling on the lawn. I would hire someone to take care of the weeds in the landscaped areas (too time-consuming and bothersome) but I would definitely take care of the plants, etc. myself.
