I'm even worried about him walking in our yard from other yards, but not all his customers have dogs like a person that goes only to homes that do have dogs. He was also spreading dandelions in our yard before we stopped him from using his own mower. We don't have those anymore now.
He also left our gate open one time, but after we told him to make sure it was shut, it's never happen again. I still check and lock the gate before I let the girls out after he leaves. Can never be too careful.

Oh my gosh, I'm glad that I'm not the only one that does this. They use the Lawn Mower that I have and not their's.
Ar first they thought I was being over protective, but when I told them what they could bring into my yard and they not even know it, they agreed to use my Lawn mower.
I do however check to make sure they shut my gate when they leave.
