Default How much to pay for someone to mow my lawn?

(Front and back, fairly small as it is a new-ish property, on aslope).


Typically £15.
It isnt worthwhile cutting grass by the hour, it is difficult to make a
living doing it, so the people who do it charge typically, £10-20 per
house.

I do a rented house's garden once a month or so, charge £25 for it, cut
the grass, remove rubbish from garden, put weedkiller around slabs, trim
hedge back if necessary. No weeding, just strimmer around the edges (no
borders, just grass or slabs).
Every time I go, I wonder why I bother, it just isnt worth the effort,
but I know the landlord, and he always pays up quickly. If I had 3 or 4
houses to do in the area, it would be alright, but just the one, not
worth it.
