I tend to always have little ones but this year, I have 5 aged 2 and under and only one who is 4. I use my wagon a lot. I can get 4 children in the wagon and I tend to only place that many in it if they really are non-walkers or if we need to cross a road.
The area I live in has very steep hills so we are limited in where we can go but I do have access to a private track which leads down to the lake. This we use a lot. Once passed the access gate which is locked (but which the owner positioned at a height my wagon and stroller fit under), then we have no concerns about traffic. We don't always get very far in terms of distance as it comes down to going the pace of the slowest. If they can walk, they do and I only put them in the wagon if they are tired vs can't be bothered.
As I tend to advertise the amount of outside time children have here, I think I'd have uproar if I stayed home but if your clients aren't expecting daily outings/walks or a least outside time, then the yard should be fine.
It's going to come down to what you explained your typical day involved. If you didn't push the outside time, then it will be less of an issue.

My program is sold on the fact that we are outside so much (not necessarily in the community). We are outside upwards of 4+ hrs a day. That being said, being outside in the backyard running around is still outside.
