Re: How much do you pay per week for your landscaper?
$30 to mow, weedwack & edge each week.
spring/fall clean-ups, mulch etc is all extra.
2009 he charged me $35 a week but 2010 i chewed him down to $30. i'll let it go at $30 this year but next year i may try to chew him down to $25 a week. granted we have a decent size piece of property (maybe 1/3 of an acre) but it is pretty much a perfect square, they don't have to work around trees or weird angles etc. on the days i've happened to be home from work while they've shown up - they're here for like 15 minutes.

$22 a week for regular mow/maint. but its one of Dh's best friends, so he gives us a break.
Extra for the special treatments throughout the season.

$40/visit
Same as most: mow, weedwhack, edging.
Entire property is just under 1/2 acre. Large front yard, semi-large backyard. Backyard has to be done by push-mower because it's fenced in and they can't get the rider-mower through the opening.
Spring/fall jobs are extra. Mulching is extra.
No contract. I call them on an as-needed basis.

$27 per week, cut, edge and blow. Just shy of 1/2 acre.
Looking for someone new, he was terrible.

$30 a week cut, edge, blow. LOVE our landscaper - our last guy went up $2 every year -- we finally said enough when it got to $40 a week.
