Oooh Jase, if I were single, I so would hire out lawncare and leaf raking. The enormous shade tree in the yard is gorgeous most of the year, but come fall the leaves pile up about 2 ft deep. Luckily, we've got caterpillar grass (slow-growing and shade and drought tolerant) so it doesn't need watering or mowing more than once every couple of weeks - a month if we want to push it.
