I now have a back problem......

[silver1]

I have injured my L4/L5 and spent 5 days in the Hospital. I will have 3 months of rehab..
I will now need a lawn pro to help on the front and back yard of about 3000 sq. ft.
I have EZ access to both yards and have a walk-behind and 30" rider. It will need to be
watered also.

What would be a good price for this small but necessary work?
Once every 2 weeks or three times a month?
God bless and thanks.

I've been through similar situation with my back six years ago, pray for full recovery. Twenty dollars an hour sounds good to me.

I did not get much of a response.
Out here in the desert we don't have large house lots and we pay for our water.
My garden is hurting from neglect because of my injury. I still need to plant more
crops. I hope no one suffers long term from a back problem. I will be OK, but................
Our backs never recover from a bad injury. It will wait until we do something stupid
and start all over again.

Get at least three estimates and go from there. As far as how often, talk with the person you choose and also negotiate reasonable price.

I truly feel sorry for you with your back, I also suffer from a bad back injury from Dec 2010 which was L1 ~ S1 and doing everything possible to stay away from the knife.

I feel for you I fell out of truck in Iraq with a few extra pounds strapped to my body. I separated my S4 and L1. Its never healed and the VAs answer is more pain meds. I don't take any and just kinda deal with it. God speed and good luck with your recovery.

I'm not familiar with your area but I'd clearly define your work and thoroughly interview who ever you go with, as well as, the price for the work.

Thank you!
Stay away from the knife.
I just found a very good therapist and we will work to fix this.
