Sower's Lawn Maintenance

Only in Ohio can you need sunscreen on Tuesday and possibly scrape frost off your windshield Saturday morning.

87 degrees down to the 30s in the same week!

We're just trying to figure out whether to load the truck with sunscreen or hand warmers.

Who's ready for the cold weather, and who's begging summer to stick around a little longer?

We finished up our aeration’s and overseeding.

Seed? ✅
Spreader? ✅
Dead mouse in the bag?

…that one was not on the list. 😂

Never a dull moment!

Well, somebody clearly had enough of their turkey club. 😂

Not the whole wrap. Not even half the wrap.

Just a few sad pieces of turkey left behind like they’d been voted off the sandwich.

We’re not sure what happened here, but somewhere out there is a tomato, some cheese, and a tortilla living their best life without them.

Another day, another mystery from the mowing route. 🌱

Not exactly the glamorous side of lawn care. 😂

But fresh blades are one of those little things that make a big difference.

Sharp blades mean a cleaner cut, healthier grass, and a better-looking lawn when we’re done.

A lot of what goes into taking care of your property happens before we ever pull into the driveway.

So while this may just look like us crawling around under a mower changing blades… it’s really part of making sure we show up ready to do the job right.

After all the rain we’ve had this past week, apparently Mother Nature decided the lawns still weren’t wet enough.

If this forecast holds up, next week’s route may look a little different:
🚤 Load the boat
⚓ Drop anchor at the property
🌊 Navigate to the backyard
🌱 Mow whatever is still above water

Anyone have a good deal on a couple pontoons? Asking for a lawn care company. 😂

Sower’s Lawn Maintenance & Marina has a nice ring to it…

HEAVY RAIN: While rainfall totals will vary around the region...there will likely be a zone of 0.50" to 1.00" (locally more?) somewhere in our area. The model below shows how bands of heavy rain could align. While it will not exactly set up like this, you get the idea here that heavy rain is possible. If it falls in the wrong place and too much at one time, then some flooding risk could become apparent. Thsi is something we will hone in on over the next couple runs of model data. - 9:00 PM 8/18/26

Shoutout to The Beavercreek Beaver for unintentionally inspiring today’s post. 🦫

We wish them the best, and in the meantime, our beaver will stick to mowing lawns instead of making headlines.
