The second best reason moving south of 44 is very little lawn company traffic within the neighborhood. In our area we might see 2 a week, they seem to do multi homes at a time, mostly in PV area.

Upwards of 70% in our neighborhood mow themselves, with large percentage of homes with pools total time less than an hour.

If you are not here during summer, (winter mow is never weekly) then take a walk around your neighborhood, find the guy. Most likely they will be happy to add you on as a customer.

But fair warning never pay up front yearly, that lawn guy will disappear in the night. From 2010 to 2016 we had 8 lawn guy disappear, stopped mowing but continued to bill. We have outdoor cameras to monitor lawn care.
Deans does our pest control so we added them to mow, in 2016. Yes they keep CC card on file, bill once a month, but no matter what they showed up weekly, until we sold the house. Random company will not take you on if they don’t have a customer base in that area.
