The average American homeowner will spend over 125 hours maintaining their lawn this year. That's the equivalent of 15 and a half (8-hour) workdays.
What would you do with 125 extra hours?
At Colorado’s current average income of $70,000/yr, those 125 hours are worth over $4,375. More importantly, that’s 125 hours that you could spend with your family, traveling, pursuing your passion, or any other things that are more important to you.
Instead of spending your precious time mowing, weeding, and pruning, you could create memories with loved ones, explore new destinations, or finally pick up that hobby you’ve been dreaming about. Imagine trading in those laborious lawn care hours for experiences that enrich your life and bring you joy. With A Cut Above Landscape’s TCM services, this isn’t just a possibility – it’s a guarantee.
