Japanese trowel/knife of some sort

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.

I agree with Rodger. Anyone can destroy your garden in a few hours.
A knowledgeable, experienced, sensitive gardener will enhance it. Be
willing to pay them for those qualities.

If this seems unreasonable, then just think: how many years has it taken
you to
learn the skills you now have? (If you simply can't afford the money,
perhaps
robbing a bank might be the ticket?)
