I think FL is like anywhere else.................you have to look & find a GOOD person. I've lucked out with a neighbor kid (18) who loves doing yard work & a retired Army guy who does it "to get out of the house & have something to do". Of course, I do 98% of it myself. Mowing/Gardening is my Zen time!!!! Of course, here it is not quite as Zen Aug-Sep!!!! That is the melt time of year for me & most of my plants!!!
