But also pricey. A couple of K for one.

So, for me, that would be over two years of mine lawn service which also does some however imperfect weed whacking and some tricky areas that I would have to do on my own. That’s not terrible break even but not great either.

What do you mean "Fab"?

fab = fabulous, which can mean "amazing" to "really quite good".

"meant to be fabulous" is a weird construction.

"meant to be" means "other people say"
