Thank you so much for doing a good job on my Lawn. I am very grateful that you guys come every week. I’m sure you’ve seen the invasion of the turtles. I don’t know what to do with them. I’m just gonna leave them alone. They have a right to live too, just gotta make sure my little dog doesn’t mess with them. Come on

I have two fenced areas. They are in “desperate need” of having the weed eater run - inside and out. My neighbor has been doing my front yard, and weedeating, as a favor - I’ve just had surgery, and truly can’t do any yard work right now.
