If you have a lawn that needs to be mowed from time to time, it may not be worth calling the landscaper. But here are some things to consider should you be entertaining the idea: What is the size of your property? Do you have a number of plants, trees and shrubs that will need tending to? How much grass is there to tend to? How well to you tolerate unkempt grass? Do you enjoy having healthy and thriving plants and a good quality lawn, or could you not care less you plan to hire a landscaper on at a regular schedule, first start off with once a week until both the lawn and the yard are complete.
