Andrew,
I know your 'issue' is to have a kid do your lawn, but if you would 
consider an adult, here is a recommendation:

Felipe Martinez
    (301)927-4201

He was recommended by Roland, and lives right in town. I hired him once 
and I intend to hire him again. He is pleasant, hard working, reliable.
