I pay $40 every 4 weeks, which includes two visits to mow back and front, trim the hedges, and rake or pick up any other tree droppings as needed. I tell them not to come if it’s raining, he usually bills me for that time anyway, and I always subtract it from the amount I pay him and note why on the bill. He’s never complained, but if he did, I’d replace him. I’m a contract worker myself, and I would love to get paid while on vacation, but I don’t expect to.
