Fall leaf cleanup — large corner lot
Big oak-heavy yard buried in leaves. Need raking, bagging, and hauling bags to the curb. I supply bags, rakes, and a blower. Water and snacks provided.
Mow, edge, and trim hedges (weekly optional)
Standard suburban lawn — front and back. Mow, edge the walkways, and trim two hedges. If it goes well, happy to make this a weekly gig.
Plant 15 shrubs + spread 2 yards of mulch
Landscaping refresh: dig and plant 15 shrubs along the fence line and spread mulch across the beds. Plants and mulch delivered. Wheelbarrow available.
Pressure-wash driveway + back patio
Concrete driveway and a stone back patio need a good pressure wash. I have the washer and hose; just need someone who knows how to use one safely.

Typical DayHire listings pay $65–$130 fixed for a defined job (a full leaf cleanup, a lawn mow-and-edge) — that usually works out to $25–$35 per hour.
Do I need my own equipment?
It varies by listing: some posters supply rakes, blowers, and bags; others ask you to bring a mower or trimmer. Every gig lists its requirements up front, so check before you apply.
Can yard work gigs become regular?
Often, yes. Lawn and garden care recurs — several posters offer to make a one-day gig weekly if the first job goes well.
