yard maintenance on 3/1 single family house

[Robert Stamper]

Hi, We have a nice 3BR/1 Bath house that we just rehabbed.  Everything is new.  Roof, HVAC, kitchen, baths, flooring...  

It also comes with a decent sized yard.  It takes me 45 minutes+ to push mow.   I have been mowing it personally through the rehab, but we have decided to rent it rather than sell.   

We would like for the property to be maintained inside and out.   

What does everybody here do about mowing the lawn? Do you require the tenant to mow the lawn? Do you include it? If included, I'm sure you hire it out. We are in the Richmond, VA area if anyone cares to recommend a lawn care group that could service our growing portfolio.

Thanks in advance!
