My garden (okay, my yard) is not at all a lovesome thing. I am fighting a losing battle against the burdock that wants to take it over, plus miscellaneous other weeds.

But at least both the front and back yards are mowed, and after giving up on the two older containers of weedkiller that I couldn't get open, I bought a new gallon container of Weed-B-Gone, and have spritzed everything that that doesn't belong and (obeying the instructions) that isn't abutting desired shrubs and other items.

What I really need to find is someone who can do yard maintenance at a reasonable price. John Sanchez was great for what he did a couple of years ago, but that was more in the way of excavation and landscaping than maintenance. He does that also, but he charges for distance, and he comes from the other side of St. Paul.

Dean Bjorkstrand? He does snow removal for us, and has a side business in yards. Or maybe the side business is snow.

You'll need to be able to describe if it is just grass cutting + blow off the patio and walks, + string trimmer, or if there are actual garden beds that you want maintained, beyond pulling seedling trees out of the rocks. Are there garden beds to maintain as well?
