Walked out to the back patio just now only to be greeted by these 2 Coachwhip snakes doing their mating thing. The male looked to be about 5 feet long and they weren't too concerned about me taking their picture.

A friend that knows his snakes corrected me. He said those were Racers, not Coachwhips. I can say that I saw the big male this morning when driving up the driveway and when he saw me, he took off like a rocket. Fastest snake I have ever seen.

Get a hoe and break that stuff up.  You don't need that all over your patio....

The friend that identified it said they are good snakes to have around. They eat rodents, lizards and other snakes.

Unless you have kids or pets that go outside, I think almost all snakes are good to have around. The venomous ones just need a little care to work and live around them.
