The problem with demonstrating a basic competence of a skill is that others who do not have even that much expect you to do things for them far beyond your competence level. Carpentry, photography, cooking... doesn't matter.

My questions are. Why doesn't she just learn to do this stuff herself?

Or if she does know how. Why stop her from doing something like this?

She's a full-time student working a full-time job while raising a toddler. We're both already pretty busy folks.

Edit: I'm DIY/carpentry and she's landscaping/flower beds

Only in the least cases its actually because of laziness and lack of drive. Most of the time, I feel, its because people are too wrapped up in their everydaylife
