Larger gardens take more time. A small courtyard may take 1 hour while a large backyard could take a full day.
Basic lawn mowing is cheaper than a full garden makeover involving pruning, mulching, and planting.
Regular fortnightly maintenance is cheaper per visit than infrequent major cleanups.
During growing season (spring/summer), every 1–2 weeks is ideal. In winter, monthly is usually sufficient.
