I'm OK with them mowing the grass and controlling weeds in planting areas.

BLO is 10 miles away from a university, close to a power plant(jobs), most homes are a walk away from the beach.

You can probably have someone at the local nursery do a design for you for free, if you 're buying plants from them.
