My brother charges £10 per hour and that is not just for grass cutting, he also does all the landscaping plans and feature building too!
Mind you, the difference in price may be made up a little by the copious amounts of tea he insists on whilst doing the gardens
We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

We've worked out a way to deal with it.
I know it's going to be unpleasant but I also know it's over fairly quickly. Instead of faffing around to try and make the whole thing marginally less dreadful let's just get it over with. No relaxation tapes or any of that crap. On the table, strap me down, zap me and I'll see you tomorrow.0 -

Today RP had graciously explained to me how to clean the oven.
My ability to nod and smile is worn to absolute fraying point. Having demonstrated and chastised my ability ( rightfully actually, the thing is fetid ATM) oven is still filthy but RP feels smug.
I could clean the oven. ( RP feels cleaning oven begins and ends with hob) but really need to do bottom oven and get in there throroughly which is a 'low head' job. So it waits till I can do it properly.
Ok, vented, I am going to go and paint a fence panel.0 -

Around here, in London, the going rate for gardeners seems to be £15-20 for professionals bringing their own tools. About half that for a teenager pushing your mower about, I'd expect. So viva is exceptionally unfortunate in having to pay £25.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

Here is certainly £25 ph.
And lanscapers. Ouch, ouch ouch.
We made an enquiry to three landscapers for our small north garden. Ouch.0
