Landscaper/garden help suggestions?

[Deleted]

I worked for an hour planting some new plants and weeding my herb spiral and that was too much. I couldn't even get to weeding my favorite bed and the front ones are a mess. H mowed the whole lawn and started getting the worst of the hedge spriglets trimmed off but has to stop so he doesn't overdue it (bad allergies, has to take two benedryl before he even starts). I doubt I can get anyone on such short notice but I can't help the anxiety its causing me that it all looks so bad and we'll be having an unknown number of unknown people over for the reception following the memorial service next Saturday. I'd seriously consider hiring someone to come do the weeding to at least get them not so embarrassing but last year when I contacted the few people in the area with good Yelp reviews, I got nowhere (and they were actually rather rude).

Ugh, I need this gross old kale from last year dug out of the veggie beds and composted and the beds cleared of winter weeds, they're just the full view of our entire dining room.

Oh yeah, we live in Renton which seems hard to find this kind of help for some reason

Champion landscape. They do our yard and were able to come out on short notice for the first time. They are in Kent.

Hmm. I might give him a call. That's less than what our guys charge us.  Though I think I might have a bigger yard then you.

Hi, I am only an occasional poster, but I was wondering what is included in the $45/visit? I'm looking for someone to do weeding/edging/lawn care. Thanks!

Yeah me too. Occasional poster wondering what's included.
I don't want to weed my large garden full of grass because...I'm just going to kill anything I plant!

seattlerain and mrslefty,

$45 was the upkeep which included light weeding, mowing and edging.

When we got started I think it was like $300 to have them do a full weed, trimming trees, etc.

They also beauty barked our yard for $400 for materials and labor.
