House Cleaning & Upkeep Expenses (Scarsdale: apartments, living, costs)

[Chesterpar]

We are moving to a Scarsdale home after living the last 15 years in city apartments. We own our place now but this will be our first single family home with a yard. I have no idea what it will costs for things like lawn mowing (if we don't do it ourselves), house cleaning, leaf removal from gutters, the hourly rate for handyman... Any guidance is appreciated.

I have a half acre further north. This is what it costs me:

House cleaning $150 1 x a month.
Lawn service (cutting lawn, cleaning up leaves, a bit more) $200 4X or so a month.
Gutter cleaning: $200 a pop. Usually done once a year.
Handyman: We have a guy who fixes stuff but only use as needed if it is beyond my skill set which is anything but plumbing -- $100-200 a pop.
