Can anyone give me a rough estimate as to how much a gardener/handyman would charge for mowing a couple of small lawns (Maybe 20'x20' each) and weeding a couple of 15' borders?
I can't get a sensible answer from anyone and I need to budget.
Often the letting agent if they are to put it in the hands of one will have a gardener
In my sons case the agent maintains the front garden as part of the letting cost but the tenant is responsible for the back garden and will have the cost of tidying it deducted from the deposit when they leave if it is not in good order then
It's just his way of telling you that you didn't quote any of the original post in your reply. It's convention on Usenet to include some "context" so that those who can't be arsed to read the rest of the thread can tell what's going on.
To try and help you, the three woman company my wife works for charges =A312/hr for this sort of thing, but they are gradually putting the prices up as they establish a reputation and need to regulate demand for their services.
You don't say how deep the 15' borders are, how weed infested they are nor what sort of plants need ongoing maintenance.
Once everything is in trim I would say a couple of hours tops on an ongoing basis to cut the lawns and keep the borders under control. For the initial visit I would say a minimum of 4 hours work, probably more depending on what needs doing.
Get some quotes and let me know how wide of the mark I am.
