Our Neighbor's Yard

Our neighbor is in the military, stationed in Kosovo, and isn't home to mow her lawn for obvious reasons. She had another neighbor mowing it for $100 a month, and they weren't doing a very good job. The lawn is really big and they would only do about a third of it at a time, so it was always uneven and awful looking. We got tired of looking at it, so Dale got in touch with her. She hadn't heard from the neighbors who were mowing it since November! So Dale told her not to worry, that he would take care of it for her and do a really nice job. He spent 10 hours on it on Saturday! Here are some before pictures:
They hadn't mowed or edged behind this row of trees.
This is how long it's grown since they last mowed!
They never edged it either...
Weeds are taking over the flower beds!
