For all of us that have gone out there and done it ourselves, we know how extremely taxing that type of work is.
In fact there is even a warning in the owners manuals of these new weed-whacker tools one can buy. This is right from the Stihl manual:
Prolonged use of a power tool (or other machines) exposing the user to vibrations may produce whitefinger disease (Raynaud's phenomenon) or carpal tunnel syndrome. These conditions reduce the hands ability to feel and regulate temperature, produce numbness and burning sensations, and may cause nerve and circulation damage and tissue necrosis.
So what I am saying is that you cannot expect many people to want to go out there and work for more than a couple hours at a time without breaks. Of course there are die-hard young types that just go and go but in my opinion, $20 per hour just isn't enough for that type of work. Hiring a company allows them to shift workers between the job or have a bunch of them working at once, completing the job in a shorter period of time.
Also sometimes the lone renegade people willing to accept this type of work are young ex-cons that have a hard time getting other jobs. (Not sure I want an ex-con working on my property)
Might be best off hiring a landscaping company.
