A Walker family in France

He doesn't own a mowing business. As a matter of fact, he really never runs his Walker mower Model MC. He saves that for his on-site gardener. But M. Lefebvre of Le Bamot par Verton, France, knows what he likes when it comes to his lawn. What he likes is to watch 10 of the most important people in his life enjoy their time on his freshly manicured lawn. Those 10 people are his grandchildren.

"I like how the Walker makes my lawn look clean," expresses Lefebvre. "It is maneuverable and has the capabilities to get into all of the places on the lawn."

Lefebvre's yard is a paradise for any visitor, mostly for his grandchildren who have a playhouse and can enjoy horse rides around his stables. Lefebvre says the beauty of having his 10,000 square-meter lawn mowed so fast is that it gives him more time to enjoy watching his grandchildren. "I like to watch the mower work," says Lefebvre. "But I would rather watch my grandchildren have fun."
