We have a 2BR CYV, on an inside lot not a corner lot, it is normally $40 a month to cut, edge and blow off. During the nice weather they usually cut the grass once a week. They will come in as a 2 or 3 man crew and be gone in ten minutes. During the winter months when the grass is hardly growing they might come only once a month or even less. You still pay $40 a month all 12 months. I did my own yard with a push mower from Home Depot.
About half of the CYV's in our 88 unit villa community have had their grass removed and with the home's irrigation system the yard is almost maintenance free. If you want someone to pull the weeds and fertilize, companies will be that and anything else you want.
I had kept the 5 feet of grass next to the curb for almost 2 years, then recently I had it re-lanscaped and had the grass removed. I do my own fertilizing and weed pulling, so my front yard is almost nothing to do. The backyard I kept the small amount of grass in case we get a dog. I cut and edged the back yard today, took about 15 minutes.
Here is a photo from March, just after the yard was done. As you can see, there really isn't anything to maintain. The plants have really grown a lot since this photo.
