At what point do you decide it's worth paying vs. DIY?

I'm officially tired of DIY. Sick of spinning my wheels, time and energy doing stuff when I see my neighbors whip out their checkbooks, have it done lickety split, and kick back and live their lives sipping lemon aide...while I scurry around from one project to the next while my kids grow up in the background...


Is $450 too much to pay for mulching? They gonna supply the mulch, and do all the prep (weed pulling, soil turning, etc.). They gonna come with the mulch in the back of their truck, shovel it out from there and keep things clean and tidy.

VS.

Me going to HD & making multiple trips to get enough sacks of mulch to do it myself. It would take about 30bags I believe, and I can get 10 bags into the SUV comfortably without having to take the kiddie seats out and lower the back seats. So that's 3 trips to HD which is gonna kill at LEAST 2 hrs.
Also have the option of delivering it in bulk from a local place, but they just literally dump a pile of loose mulch at the end of your driveway and you do the rest. This is VERY messy and daunting task.....
