Costs of lawn care/snow removal/garbage collection?

[Susan Tan]

How do I find out the costs of lawn care/snow removal/garbage collection? Do you recommend paying the tenant $10/hour to take care of lawn care/snow removal as part of the lease agreement? I already have a property manager in mind to manage the duplex in College Hill, Cincinnati, OH. I know property managers probably do not do lawn care/snow removal. Worst case, I may end up posting a Craiglist ad to find lawn care & snow removal folks.
