Stand-on mower cutting a striped hillside in southern Illinois

Lawn Mowing in Marion, IL Mowed, trimmed and blown clean.

Straight stripes on the grass and no clippings left on your walks.

Grass does not check the calendar before it grows.

It just does, usually while you are busy.

We mow yards in Marion, Herrin and Carterville with an orange stand-on mower.

The mower handles the open ground.

A string trimmer follows along walks, fences, beds and the base of the mailbox.

Then a blower clears the clippings off the concrete.

Houses, rentals and business sidewalks all get the same attention to the edges.

Tell us how big the yard is and what is in it.

A photo by text helps.

Our words, March 6, 2024

"Share this with someone who has something better to do than mow their yard this season."

Stripes come from straight passes

Stripes are grass bent one way, then the other.

We mow in straight lines and turn at the ends.

That is slower than cutting in circles, and you can see why.

Hills get the same treatment.

A striped hillside looks like somebody cared, because somebody did.

Where the mower cannot reach

The trimmer runs along driveways, fences and the foot of trees.

That is where mowers miss and weeds like to hide.

On commercial sidewalks the clippings get blown off when the trimming is done.

Cones, hazards and tall grass

Cones go around anything we do not want to hit, such as a drain or a low stump.

Tell us what is hidden in the grass before we start.

A yard that got away from you can still be mowed.

Send a photo, since tall grass may need a high first pass and a lower second one.
