Mowing Expenses Seem Excessive for my rental property

[Artur A.]

Hello BiggerPockets community,

I'm a rental property owner, and I've recently been reviewing the landscaping expenses for my out-of-state property, particularly the mowing costs. I must admit, the figures are making me raise an eyebrow, and I'm curious to hear from others who might have insights or experience in this area.

It feels a bit high to me, but I don't have much to compare it to.

Can anyone shed light on whether this is a reasonable expense? Are there ways PM can negotiate a better rate with landscaping contractor?

Any insights, comparisons, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your thoughts!
