Important Weather & Mowing Update
We want to give everyone an update regarding our mowing schedule and current lawn conditions.
Over the past several weeks, our area has experienced an exceptionally wet stretch of weather. Since July 1, the Aberdeen area has received approximately 13.27 inches of rain. Normally, we would expect roughly 7.9 inches by this point, putting us around 69% above normal rainfall.
August has been especially difficult. We have already received approximately 7.76 inches of rain in just the first 17 days of the month.
After nearly four straight weeks of frequent rain, high humidity, saturated ground, and extremely fast grass growth, the conditions are beginning to take a serious toll on both our equipment and our crews.
Many lawns are staying saturated for days at a time. This makes mowing significantly slower, causes grass to clump, increases wear and tear on our equipment, and makes it much harder for our crews to maintain their normal pace.
Because of these conditions, customers should continue to expect delays from their normal mowing day. We are working through the schedule as quickly as weather and ground conditions safely allow.
We also want to be upfront about cut quality during these conditions. Wet, thick grass does not cut or discharge the same way as dry grass. It can lay over, clump, stick to equipment, and occasionally leave areas looking more uneven than we would normally accept.
Our crews are doing everything they can to leave each property looking as good as possible, but with the amount of rain we have received, some lawns simply cannot be cut to our normal standard until conditions improve.
Our team has been pushing hard for weeks to keep more than 125 properties serviced despite the weather. We greatly appreciate everyone's patience and understanding while we work through one of the wettest stretches we have dealt with in quite some time.
Thank you for your continued patience and support.
