I think she's either in cc debt and doesn't have enough in her checking and/or

is just taking advantage of free labor. I think your boys could send her a notice saying they'll continue to mow her lawn if she pays double or triple the price in advance until the end of the mowing season--so she's paying their rate for mowing the lawn and back paying one or two of the times she hasn't paid for. If she doesn't agree, they stop working for her.
