The truth is that it takes work to maintain a lawn, this is the reason why many homeowners prefer to hire a professional to come to their houses each week or every other week.
Every company has its own way to calculate the prices, some of the charge by hour, others charge based on the size of the lawn. Also, if you hire a service weekly it might be cheaper than hiring it every other week.
