Summer weather is halfway normal for around here, so plenty of rain. She rarely runs her sprinkler system.
As for garderners, she's got a crew of 3 - one who only does design work, and usually along the lines of "well, i saw these at this local nursery cheap and so we put a bunch in over here... " and his assistant who does a lot of the manual labor for the major bed work. Then she has a guy that does the weeding and edging and little bit of mowing that is needed.
Right now, a lot of beds are set up with annuals/perennials that need maintenance, etc. When the place becomes mine, I'll work with the crew to bring it back to still beautiful but low maintenance. Highlight and focus on the 80+ camelias, the citrus, and various tree species. I'll mow and maintain, but I don't wanna deal with replanting beds of annuals, etc.
