@regberadaisy: what about hiring a high school kid to mow! Even 20 bucks to do the yard?

We have a cleaner come every other week. Does all the deep cleaning. I still clean kitchen and bathrooms and vacuum in between.

Other than the guys who come to spray the weeds in our lawn, nope.

We have a cleaning lady who comes weekly.

We have a lawn service (our lawn is tiny so it's $20/visit) and a cleaning lady every 2 weeks. Can't imagine life without my cleaning lady!

We have a lady clean every two weeks. We also had our yard weeded and mulched by a company this year - I'm 8 months pregnant and DH is busy at work right now so we just wouldn't have gotten to it otherwise.

We have a cleaning lady come out twice a month and a gardener come out twice a month. The gardener we have always had...DH is not handy outside.....but the cleaning lady is a new development, when I began my second trimester we got one because I couldn't clean the way I liked to and the cleanliness of the house was becoming a point of argument between me and DH. Paying her solved a lot of issues! And we are both happier!

We have a cleaning person every 3 weeks. We also have laundry/dry cleaning picked up and done every other week.

I don't think I ever would. I DIY most things, from taxes to car maintenance, I guess that's just my style.

This summer we hired a neighborhood kid (14) to mow our lawn. We live in a cheap area, and he's a kid, so we only pay him $25 per month and he mows whenever it gets high (so some months he'll need to mow more than others). i have to say, it's been awesome. Neither of us has to worry about it, it just gets done. Once baby gets here I think we may hire a cleaning service to come every couple weeks, but we haven't decided on that one yet.

Just a cleaning service every two weeks. DH and I, mostly him, handle the yard.

We just moved and haven't officially "hired" a lawn service, but one company does our entire cul de sac, and they've continued to do our lawn.

We're waiting to see how long it lasts (maybe the old owners were still under contract?) but will probably keep paying them because DH doesn't want to do it and I'm allergic to grass.

But there's still a lot of gardening to be done.

Only for gardening, but nothing else!

We started paying for lawn mowing this summer... He used to do it himself but with a baby we rather save that time to spend together or he can help me out more, since mowing front and back takes him almost 2 hours!

I DREAM of a cleaning lady! We have someone cut the grass/edge/etc. twice a month, but he's a friend, so it's super cheap.

We have a landscaper who comes every other week or more often if necessary. Our lawn area is really small, so it's cheap to have him do it. DH hates doing yard work.

We also have two cleaning ladies come every other week. They do a deep clean of the house, which really helps me keep on top of the cleaning in between visits. DH and I used to argue about cleaning, because he has high standards of cleanliness but would never offer to help clean. The ladies solved our problem.

We don't have any hired help, but it sounds glorious.

We have a house cleaner that comes every couple weeks. She started a couple months ago because I was sick for awhile and also pregnant. We plan to keep her through the newborn days and then reassess.

We have a cleaning person come when we need it or have been really busy - usually about once a month.
