It's mowing the lawn, though, that I'd like to find a legal gardener to do. But for now, I have slave labor (a teenager), so all's well. LOL. Sounds like a good arrangement. We used to have the most wonderful Americans (of Japanese heritage) as professional gardeners in southern California. They got undercut and knocked out by the cheap labor from Mexico, who for the most part don't do any "real" gardening anyway.

I'd forgotten about the Japanese gardeners of my youth. Most gardeners were Asian back then. And did an outstanding job, as well.
