Default Paying someone to help in the garden?

Hi Everyone

I have quite a large garden. I'm away from home quite a lot and I keep
losing control of it. It tends to get overgrown and all sorts of
routine jobs get ignored.

I'm thinking about hiring someone to come in once or twice a month to
help me keep on top of it and was just wondering if anyone here has
done the same?

Any tips to pass on? How much should I expect to pay? (I'm in
Berkshire). In the main I'm talking about routine jobs like cutting
hedges and grass, weeding beds, strimming etc.

Thanks

Will
