How much do you pay? Cutting is about fifty sixty bucks a month. You MAY have to shop for that price, but it is out there. Fertilization is necessary three four times a year.

Even if you have rocks you have weeds to get rid of.

I think lawns are far less expensive to maintain here than they were at our Ohio house.
