Alp, being a brit you may like this.
Another home of a lawn client.
somewhat of a manor feel-the place was built in 1927.
a bit tricky to cut-but fun!

A bit cruel to ask you to climb up the slope, TWICE! LOL! American houses are so nice! You've done a marvellous job! How can you not like a lawn .. but my house is so small that lawn seems to be a luxury!

that got me thinking.
the light colored stripe is the one that goes away from the camera, so those would be the uphill part-now count those and that's how many times I walked up those slopes! (then down.)
maybe 8 or 9 times?

at least all my equipment is self-propelled, commercial stuff, that's really easy to use.

I hope your bones are sound, quite unlike mine! My ex's father had one such lawn as part of a sea wall (horrible human loss when the tide, low depression and what not converged together in 1953 and hence this wall), nearly 40 degree and three times the size of your one slope here. I had to hold on to a string tied up to the lawn mower every time it needed mowing. No laughing matter! LOL!

sometimes I get lucky and the client has a nice flat expanse of lawn
