Take a picture and send it to the neighbor and ask? Heck for all you know the lawn care guy is charging them for weekly when they only mow just before they arrive back from the north, LOL
That got me wondering about the Community Watch cars we see going by pretty regularly. Still relatively new here so read up on what all they do. No mention of taking notice of such things. Are they discouraged from bringing up such things? Interesting thread. Drove by a perfectly manicured lawn yesterday with a surprisingly tall and thick stand of weeds amongst the shrubbery. Now having to ponder the continuum between that and an abandoned property. . . :-)

While on the subject, I'll take the opportunity to speak highly of "Terrence" - an independant lawn guy I've gotten to know a bit in our neighborhood. I *think* his company is Outdoor Maintenance. No website. The type of person that you like to see succeed. I believe his number is 352-303-6127. Hope it's OK to post that here.
