For those of you that have a lawn service, do you pay by the cut or by the month? If you pay per cut, what would the price be? Do you call each time you want your lawn cut? What does a cut involve - trimming, removal of clippings, etc. Whom would your recommend? I am thinking of a service that could also involve snow removal at our home. I would prefer a smaller business than a larger one. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Do both and clean up after themselves. Recommended.

I would highly recommend Jeff. Great local guy and prices are on his website.

I second Carter Bros. Great service and cost was better than some of the other big players. Cost depends on yard size of course.

I second Jeff from Clean Lawn Service. Daily, monthly, or seasonal rates.

Is the place you are looking for. They do it all -  
summer and winter. Just give Mike a call and his crew will look after you.

Definitely Jeff’s Cc Yard Care!

I have had them for both grass cutting and snow removal, for the past two years. I could not be happier with the work they do and the price. I pay monthly. Price will be based on the size of your lawn or driveway/side walk.

I would recommend Jeff’s clean cut yard care as my top pick. They do exceptional work.

I may be old fashion, but I suggest you look around your area for a young teenager (13,14 or 15 ) who is responsible and looking to cut a few lawns, shovel some snow and do babysitting to earn a few dollars. This age group is to young to get a regular job, and the only way they can make money to purchase all the electronic gadgets and games they desire is by doing odd jobs for individuals in their neighborhood.

Excellent suggestion .

It would be great if you can view their pictures on his website but it's not working. Plus, the website could do some revamping.

for lawn mowing and snow removal for the past 2 years and highly recommend them. For 2 years I tried to hire teenagers to do these jobs - spoke to several in our area and they weren't interested - want to spend time with their friends not do yard work. I also posted ads in the Bdn Sun and ads in several schools (with permission of the principal) and not one reply. I made a lot of money as a teenager cutting lawns, spaying weeds and shoveling snow but I'm from a different generation. Hiring a teenager is a great idea and I hope you have better success than I did.
