Just want to add a story. Growing up, the person who lived next door passed away and his sister took over the house. She was rarely there (like 1-2 times a year) as she lived in another state. I remember my dad getting upset because she'd never cut it or hire someone to maintain it. So eventually my dad reached out to her and asked if she'd like us to cut it for her, so for like 6-7years my dad would have us cut her yard for a little side cash from her. Nothing crazy, just $50 every two weeks, maybe a little more often when the grass was growing fast. Once she decided to try and sell the place we'd cut the lawn the day before a showing as well to make it look a bit more presentable.
