I hire a guy who comes 2x per month and mows. Every now and again I throw some patch and water on a bald spot (that kind of patch that holds water) but for the most part I don't give a crap about my lawn. I don't even water the thing!

The mowing guy is cheap because he does the house next door so he just keeps mowing on his giant riding mower, followed by a guy with a strimmer who does the little edgy bits. I pay about twenty bucks a mow, but my lawn ain't big either and they're in and out in five or ten minutes.
