It depends upon the contract you signed with the landscaper. We have had 2 different landscapers and the contract was for a year, with a monthly price. They indicated they would not mow/trim every week in the dormant months, which they do not. I do, however, pay every month.
I talked to several landscapers and this seemed to be the norm. My neighbors have the same arrangement with their landscapers.
The landscaper I have now, costs me a small fortune, but they "own" everything in my lawn...grass mowing, trimming/edging, landscape trimming, plantings, weed pulling etc... AND, they mow by hand, which was a requirement for me. On the weeks they are here, 3 guys spend about 45 minutes grooming my lawn and landscaping.
I don't think you're getting ripped off...
Cheers....
