gallinaro:

I'd love to have a proper "gardener," too. All I've been able to find are weeders, trimmers and blow-the-trimmings-all-away types. They're here and gone in minutes. At $35 a month, they sound expensive, but since there are usually 3 or 4 guys, I guess it's not too expensive. Trouble is, they don't "garden" for that rate.

If you find someone, let me know, as I'll take him/her on as well!

I ran into a company yesterday that was hacking away on a lawn and stopped to talk to them. It is a young male/female couple. They take on all kinds of jobs -- hedge trimming, planting, full landscaping. Seemed really nice and the yard they were working on looked really good. Give 'em a call:

Sorry for the delay in responding to you. Just found the info you requested.

There are no annual contracts for weeding - cost is $10 per month

Pest control is $20 per month

Pruning, trimming and clean up is billed at $40 per hour, but you are charged in 15 minute increments.

Fertilizer application is based on actual quantities used.

They all sell trees and plants. I found the cost of there plants lower than in some of the nurseries I visited while in TV.

Like I said, I was extremely impressed with her, They will be doing our lawn care while we are away.

Hope this helps.
