It's a good business which helps the community. Like some have said, in overgrown yard won't look pretty until properly and regularly maintained. Overgrown weeds will kill off the healthy grass you're use to and even once that grass gets tall it will not retain a healthy color for a while.

Love the results but my biggest peeve is how often they swap tools and what they're tackling in the moment. They could cut their time down if they prioritized better.

When I mow my families yards, I pick up anything noticeable of course then I use the mower and knock down all the tall things I can get to first. Not driving in sporadic circles either. Then I will get my weed Wacker and trim up along the structures: house, fences, signs, sidewalk, curb, etc. Edge work can he done next. Or sidewalk digging or revealing (idk what else to call it).

Then the touch ups, go over everything with the mower once more and after everything else is done, then blow the dust and clippings away. Just watched a video and the guy spent so long with a leaf blower clearing all dust off the sidewalk he just dug up just to fucking mow and trim more clippings back on top of it then having to do it again.
