My bride {age 70} and I {currently 69 and closing in on 70} did it all ourselves. We are both in pretty good shape and having the tools, truck and trailer I am too cheap :R to pay anyone to do what we can do ourselves.
The day will come when I start writing checks to have these sorts of things done but happily we aren't there yet. The last month or so I have been nearly flat on my back with multiple visits to 3 different ER's, surgery and a a couple of not fun serious medical procedures for a total of 11 days in pre or post op wards {on the bright side I did lose 13# but it is not a diet I can recommend}. :S
After all of the rain from our awesome monsoon the weeds took over our entire property with me being out of action. They ranged from 3 to 5'+ tall and covered every inch of the .57 ac. As I recovered I did a little more every day and now have reclaimed the property but am still only about 75 percent.
Yep, it is a B*@#& getting older but it sure beats the alternative.
