Not at all
Our gardening 'lady' comes in two mornings a week during the summer. The lawns are also cut once a week.
Our son moves in when we're away and looks after the chickens and FANG.
The grandchildren love it - they say it's like having a little holiday.
Works for us
Ours has been incredible but I guess nothing is forever and we just work too much, can't afford a gardener
