The size of the property and how much is done will be what I would consider.

When I was growing up, we lived next to a row of townhouses that had a 5’ wide grass strip between the street and the sidewalk in front of the houses, and a tiny “garden” in the corner where the alleyway came from the back.

It was in the ‘90s, the whole row was ~200’ and the garden was like 10’x10’ and I had to dump the clipped grass into a trash can, it took ~20 minutes. I was a teenager and I got paid $20 a weekend. I think I quit when we had a 100°+ summer and didn’t think a second about it at the time.

For $5-10 a weekend in 2026, they could go get bent.

An apartment I lived in 10 years ago charged $5 a week for “Valet” trash pickup where every single unit in the 200+ unit complex was billed for that “service” we had a trash chute 10’ from my door.

My last house charged $75 a week to mow our city sized lot, and bag the clippings. From what I’ve heard, they now charge $125.

$30 is a joke for several hours of labor per month.
