The article that Ross refers to describes a very valuable and timely service, one that beats the heck out of lawn care in my book. 

I find myself wondering about the people involved.  Who is providing the service and who is using it?  The second part of the question probably has a lot to do with cost.  How does the service compare with lawn care for the same area, and does it tend to replace, augment or just coexist with lawn care services.

Could the same kind of service be provided to those with a bit of land but without the means to pay for an expensive service, and how might that work?

For the first part of the question, I see opportunity for the growing ranks of urban farmers.  In cities like Detroit and Cleveland, there is a lot of food being produced not in the yards of wealthy clients but in reclaimed urban landscapes and by urban residents.  Could urban farming provide the skilled and entrepreneurial workforce to expand their farming operations to suburbs via the kind of service described in the article, providing needed jobs? 

Thanks for posting the article, Ross.
