Here around GTR ( greater Toronto area) my neighbour pays $ 50 per hour for "some guy with a high speed lawn mower contraption". Since it takes three hours to turn her 5 acres into a golf course you do the math.
She also has them weed and sheer the evergreens in her minuscule garden ( the rest is grass). It usually takes two, three hours a shot. These are ordinary groundskeepers not Wisley trained professionals.
