When I bought my house last May I engaged lawn service for $100/mo. My lawn is only 1,000sf. Now, instead of weekly service it is biweekly which I understand is all that is necessary. But, at $50 per for maybe 15 minutes total work seems very pricey. Fertilizer and weed control is provided by another company.
Is this generally how all lawn services price i.e. the same flat monthly amount year round? Thinking about buying an electric mower and doing myself but wondering if I would be able to find a service for the 6 months I am not here or, if I could, would the price be higher such that there isn't much savings? Any thoughts, recommendations appreciated.

Your paying too much for a small lot. Just think, everytime you do it you are freeing up money for something else. You can buy electric battery lawnmowers now. I do my own and It’s not a big deal. If you are not able to do it then that’s another story. They have the 40watt black and decker weed eaters too. They work very well.
