| Now that it's summer, are you out in your yard mowing the lawn, gardening, etc., etc., or do you prefer to hire others to tend to your landscape? | |

| Always do our own; however, a big specific landscaping project is inevitable and we'll definitely hire that one out. | |

| Don't know if I'd call mowing, planting some flowers & raking leaves landscaping but it's a DIY thing around here. | |

| Hubby does it, then in a senior mobile home park there isn't a huge yard. He built a planter that covers the whole front leaving just a small bit of lawn there.

| I used to do my own but it became too much of a chore so now I have a gardener come in once a week. | |

| The question doesn't apply to me anymore but I used to mow the lawn, etc. when I still lived at home. I guess it would depend on how big a pain in the neck it was balanced against how much I could get it down for. I have no idea how much a lawn service costs. | |

Uncle I pay 20 bucks a week to have the lawn mowed. 3 times a season they cut the shrubs and do Winter and Spring clean up which costs me 150 bucks twice a season. To me its worth it because I don't have the time to do it myself. | |

| Hell, for that I think I could afford to help support the Mexican economy. | |

| My roommate, he may do a little of it, but they'll hire as well. | |
