Backstory: Very elderly neighbor. Another retiree mows her lawn, but since she's given up her yard service, the lawn has just fallen apart. It was really nice 10 years ago. No irrigation here unless I do it. He mows too low for the site, but I probably can't change that.
I've just taken over my own lawn from husband and teens after various other arrangements (including a terrible professional service) fell apart. So it's all on me now. I did a little last year while they were still mowing, but I'm over trying to get any help. It's satisfying to do it alone and annoying when other people do thing badly. Also, no teens to break the mower by hitting things. Lol.
Since my yard is so big, it's a minor thing to add the neighbor's yard on top of it, and I've always felt guilty that I wasn't helping her more, and she is upset that her yard looks so bad.
We have severe weed issues from stuff getting washed down the street. I've taken care of mine by planting a bed, but you can see how without that barrier, weeds establish at the front of the yard and march back.
Just off the street:

The yellow spots are weeds that are very sensitive to tenacity, which I sprayed a few days ago:
