Who maintains the yard on your rentals?

[Kellie Alkayam]

I have had a rental property in Wheat Ridge for a few years now, and I am about to have a second. For the past few years, I have paid a company to mow the lawn weekly, but their prices for general upkeep (maintaining the flower beds, pulling weeds and trimming hedges are outrageous). My tenants cannot be relied upon to keep the yard looking nice, so I would like to hire somebody to come out and mow weekly, weed the beds, and keep things looking nice on both houses. If their prices are right, I'd probably have them care for my personal home as well. Who do you guys use? I have been looking and looking and looking with zero luck.
