I live in the south bay area and am thinking of getting a gardener. My yard is average size for the area, small front and even smaller back. I have shrubs that need pruning and weeds in my flower beds. I haven’t a clue as to how much someone would charge for bi-monthly landscaping. Can anyone advise what they pay?

I live in Chicago and would love to be a master gardener, signed up for classes, but my parents say there is no “real”future in this. Is it true? What happened to doing what makes one happy? LOL!

Actually, trying to hire a regular gardener to upkeep my parents’ garden now that they are getting older (don’t want my dad climbing ladders to trim the trees!) My parents would probably prefer a gardener with skills in Japanese-style gardens.
