Thanks Derek. It's so nice to not have to worry about the lawn. I am trying to get up the hill to do more trimming in the garden area but that is not something I asked you to do. If you see anything off please let me know. I have not been up the hill much at all this year.

Awesome job on your part Derek. Thanks so much. Having a money crunch. Income has been reduced by 500 here on our end. Sorry won't be able to give a tip because of that this time. Not sure about mowing 3 times a month would have preferred 2 times a month as has been so watching budget on everything will have to let you know later on that. Did not see how to change schedule in app without cancelling and don't want to risk that. Thanks so much.

Very good job considering that the grass was high, wet and he had the hills to deal with. I was concerned about his mower slipping, but he got the job done
