How much do you pay your gardener?
 

For those of you who don't do your own yardwork, how much do you pay your gardeners to mow, edge, and keep the yards looking nice? Average sized front and back yard in SoCal.

I am my own gardener, then again I only have around 2000sq ft.

not in socal, but I pay $35 a week which includes weeding, edging, and mowing.

I pay $80 a month... he comes every thursday and even takes my trash out to the curb...

$20 a week which I guess is on the high side for Costa Rica except he also has to pick up after 3 Rottweilers. :)

I do my own yard work

havnt got round to getting one!

I think it's 40 a week but that's a deal on a 1/2 acre in NY ..

I've had one for daily tasks on the garden, she was about $100 monthly :)

I find a gardener, make them do all the work for a month and promise them $100 a week. Then when it comes time to pay them I pick up the phone and act like I?m calling the INS and watch them scurry off like cockroaches. Man I love free labor.

I'm paying $45 every two weeks for an inside gardener . . does all my house plants
