Q: How much do professional garden services cost?

• <div><p>Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between <b>$20 and $30 per hour</b>, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as <b>$60 to $88 per hour</b>. </p><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-lawn-mowing-cost.htm">cost of lawn mowing</a> is about <b>$125</b>, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about <b>$1,450</b>, which should only be done every three to five years. </p></div>

Q: Should I mow or water first?

• <div><p>You should mow your lawn first and water it afterward, in most cases. You should not mow when your lawn it&rsquo;s wet as it could clog the blades. If you haven't been watering your lawn for an extended time or your area is experiencing a drought, water your grass first. Mowing thin, wispy grass can be difficult, so allow it to become fuller and thicker before mowing. Once it looks more lush and dry, go ahead and mow.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to mulch leaves with a lawn mower?

• <div><p>Yes, it's perfectly safe and environmentally sound to mulch leaves with a lawn mower, provided that the layer of leaves isn't too thick and the leaves are dry and crispy. Too many wet leaves get sticky and will clog the mower. Thick layers of leaves can suffocate the lawn after the leaves have been mulched, so the layer should be no more than six inches thick.</p></div>

Q: What additional tasks should I consider undertaking simultaneously?

• <div><p>If you're already planning to hire an electrician and you know that you'll get billed the minimum call-out charge, you might as well make the most of it by having the contractor do another small job like replacing a light switch or electrical outlet. Even if you're paying for a new coaxial outlet, which costs several hours in labor, you may be able to save a little or maximize value by getting them to do other related jobs. For example, if you're having a coaxial cable moved, it's worth checking if you also need another electrical outlet in the new location or considering where else you would benefit from a new outlet . The cost to install an electrical outlet is around $200.</p></div>

Q: Do you tip lawn service workers?

• <div><p>Tipping is not mandatory, but is a nice gesture if you are satisfied with the service your lawn professional provided.<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-you-tip-landscapers.htm"> The amount you should tip</a> depends on your area, service, and time of year. Typically, most people tip between<b> $10 and $100</b> per crew member. For minor services, people tend to tip less than large jobs. </p></div>

"This was a very difficult job - the juniper I wanted removed was on a slope under large trees. Despite this, the juniper was completely removed, the area was completely rehabilitated with top soil and mulch, and grass was planted where fitting. The finished project was absolutely amazing! Neighbors have been very complimentary. I was also very impressed by this landscaper’s professionalism -I highly recommend him - he made a difficult job seem easy."
