Aye. But the professionals will have the same costs while they are
doing that as if they were doing landscaping.

Sounds like you need a lawn specialist - some will charge around £20
per job, usually doing a suburban lawn in about 20 minutes. There are
also companies that will take a lawn on contract, for a fixed amount
per year. I know nothing about them.
