Ditto. There’s a minority couple living next door to me and I’m jealous of how well kept their home and yard is. Honest, I’m trying to keep mine up better but... They also have several teenage kids to help with the chores. Hmm, maybe I can hire/lure them away to work on my yard! ;-)

Don’t know what the economy or minimum wage is in your area, but try to entice them with about 8 dollars an hour.
They have to provide the tools and safety equipment subject to your approval.
You provide the supervision and work directions.
Lunch and breaks are unpaid.
Or try your local High School through their shop and ag programs, make the same offer through the instructors for kids who would like extra credit.
Worked pretty good for me (getting old), kids get paid, get some extra credit if the instructors approve, kids get some real work experience, and I get to play supervisor again after being retired for the last 11 years.
