We have a small parcel of land w/house in the historic district for which we are charged $50 a month to have the lawn [St. Augustine] mowed, edged and the cuttings blown back into the yard which takes maybe 15 minutes. However, we only get one cut a month from Oct until the growing season starts again, whence we get weekly service. Each time we return to TV we then must clean out the sprinkler donuts and reseat those donuts.

In researching prior 'lawn service' posts I could only find one post that indicated this is a normal fee charged by most landscapers for this type of service. Does anyone here pay a better rate than $50/month.

Three weeks between cuts seems to have the lawn looking a bit shabby and I would think that we should have at least two cuts over the dormant period. I really do not like to pay for a service I do not receive.

Your thoughts, please. Thanx
