I'm 74 and take care of my yard, also see the future, I prepared my yard with no obstacles to keep someone from maintaining yard. No bushes, gardens or trees, one shed where all you need is kept to maintain yard work. A mower of any size fits in back yard. A field behind my fence causes me problems, the farmers do not keep trees from growing. They used to plant as close to property as possible. But with this humongous equipment they use now it is near impossible to get close to fence. People should realize anything left in yard nature will cover it up. This posses a problem when you are to old to care for your yard. Yard will be neglected sometime in the future if your family doesn't care for the yard it will be overgrown. Make your yard easy as you can to take of. You never know when you won't be able to do it yourself. It took me a long time to get my yard easy to maintain. Old trees had to cut down and a lot of needless treasures removed. If you don't need it, get rid of it. When on a fixed income without help you do not have money to hire people. I thank this gentlemen for cutting this yard. But truth is the yard is not taken care of.
I have a shower seat that was never used in the shower, I use it when I'm weeding, it's light weight to carry & the height is adjustable, as I need to take a lot of breaks when weeding, you did a great job edging and mowing, hopefully the elderly gent will appreciate it after he sees it.
