I explain to anyone working for me there are less hours for 3 months of the year. It's gardening! My current employee tends to save most of her holiday for the winter period. Plus they will have all the regular maintenance in the winter and i will go without the extra work if necessary.
Yes they will both be on the books. One will be earning more than the other as they will have qualifications and be the driver.

I work in Sussex and find Brighton to be one of the best areas to work in the winter as it is usually a bit milder by the coast than inland.
In Sussex I'm usually still cutting grass at the start of November and this can resume for some clients as early as the end of February some years.
Yes have been cutting grass in November also! We had a few cold winters recently but normally pretty mild.
Sure
