My lower back thanks you in advance!
I have a couple of brothers who live nearby shoveling my walk and cutting my grass for the past couple of years. I pay them minimum $20. per shovel, and $ 30. + depending on the depth of the snow. For grass cutting it's $35. a cut. I bought them some RYOBI battery operated equipment to help them, and as my contribution to climate change.

As others have said, just start knocking on doors, and it probably won't be too long before you find someone. Also you could check with your local Community Association rep and see if anyone is asking for work.

It's so nice to see the younger generation getting back to making money in this fashion...and great for us old folks.
