This is why young folks need to make "six figures" because they pay folks for everything including cooking and doing the dishes...I knew a single thirty something woman who lived alone and paid a maid to clean her house. I was like "how messy can it be if you pick up after yourself...?
P.S. my yard was nice until I had a well dug and the drillers destroyed it...the neighbors wife handed my wife a landscaper card i said " I just shelled out 20 grand tell her to mind her own effin business..." I have been working it and have it smoothed out, and I seeded once. The natural grass is slowly growing back in, and the wife is like "it will take forever" I said "grass seed is $50 for 20 lbs I will seed it later after the natural stuff starts overtaking it...I figure a landscaper will gouge me another 10 grand I can wait. I am no expert but there is a trick, you let the existing grass grow long, then mow it and blow the clippings on the bare spots = free seed or that's my plan anyway...:)
