Equipment:

Lawn Mowing Company uses top ranked Durro Lease equipment. We have been using the same equipment for over 5 years now. Durro Lease equipment has been researched by our team to have the highest quality and efficiency for mowing purposes. Lawn Mowing Company would use a Durro Lease front mower. These mowers can perform for a long period of time and deliver high quality cuts. This mower is perfect for your proposed locations.

Below is a picture of our Durro Lease equipment and a park we mowed with the Durro Lease front mower. This is to show you the result the Durro Lease front mower leaves after we put it to use. As you can see, the mower leaves an impressive cut. The same high quality cut in the picture will be performed on your locations.

Mowing Schedule:

Our team has visit each location. Our proposed mowing schedule has been thoroughly laid out for each day we would come out to mow. We scheduled when the locations were not heavily populated. This allows our team to mow at a quicker pace.

Willoughby Park:Willoughby Park would be mowed on Saturdays from 6am to 8:30am. The park opens at 9am. This would be the best time to mow because our team can mow at a fast pace without worrying about people being around especially children. Also, we have time to load our equipment off the premises in a timely matter before the park opens. This decreases the chances of any accidents that could happen.

Route 24:Route 24 would be mowed on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 3am to 5am. This would be the time for the least traffic on the roads. Cones would be put up on the passing lane next to the median while our team mows. Augusta Memorial Golf Course:Augusta Memorial Golf Course would be mowed on Mondays and Tuesdays from 6am to 8am. The Augusta memorial golf Course opens at 9 am. We would have time to mow efficiently and have time to move our equipment before the course opens. This would avoid interfering with golfers’ time on the field and accidents that could happen.
