answer:There is a brother-sister team here who do weekly garden housekeeping for my sister and an occasional day for me. 25$ per person an hour. They prune, weed, whack, fertilize, relay flagstones, rebuilt dry walls, drag and drop 50 lb. bags of compost, dried manure or peat moss, they dig and repair compost heaps, they plant perennials, shrubs and small trees (that do not require back hoes). They will bring landscape design ideas to you (very different from flower arranging) and brainstorm. I, for example, have a wish list that far exceeds my budget. They would sit down with me and discuss pros and cons, cost, and particularly important with the outdoors, long-term maintenance. Another niche that a young friend of mine has discovered is tree surgery.He and his brother have bought several expensive chippers and other machinery; they will limn the huge wild white pines and chip the branches in situ. They will prune fruit trees appropriately; they will make trails. They are as strong as Michael Phelps, and until their bodies give out, they have a gold mine. However, we are not talking dainty little suburban gardens. Most of us have a lot of land and gardens, fields, woods, streams, wildlife, butterflies and birds we protect.
