Default Cutting and edging costs

What can I expect to pay for a landscaper to cut and edge a lawn for a Designer house?

We have a Gardenia on a corner lot and we pay $45 to Tri-County for mowing, trimming, edging, weeding and blowing. Have had them almost 2 years. Very reliable.

Default before you hire "lawn guy"

try and get someone that push mows, heavy mowers are tough on grass especially when they whip those mowers around and do hair-pin turns....

You might mention that the $45 is per MONTH! Cheap! In Indy, we paid that amount each week.

I agree. I did my own until this year and while the gu does a good job there are those little odds and ends that get ignored.

AB Landscaping want s my business. They use walk behind mowers vis a vis riding mowers, do trim, weeding, etc. Does anyone have experience with this company. Just a recommend or not recommend will do.

Thank You

we have a premier with 1/3 acre.$50 per month for 12 months even thought the grass is not cut in the winter except once every 5-6 weeks. For cash flow they bill year round. I couldn't "cut it" with a push mower in this heat...

We pay $55 a month, get lawn cut, trimmed and weeds sprayed. I use Lawn Pros, he push mows and cleans up the grass clippings. I like that he doesn't "shave" my grass, keeps it a 2", in this heat, shorter than that just burns up. In spring/summer months, it's once a week, haven't been here for a winter yet, so will see what happens then.
