Grave care is a fantastic business to operate. Grave care includes: gravestone cleaning, seasonal grave decorations, winterization, and other services. Plot maintenance is also a very important aspect to many grave care businesses. If you provide plot maintenance in your grave care business, grass mowing should be on your list of services.
Mowing Gravesites
Increasingly, I have found that customers, as well as cemetery management companies, are interested in reducing air pollution and noise pollution. Traditional lawn mowers spew a lot of pollutants into the atmosphere. Unfortunately, until recently, an internal combustion engine lawn mower was the only practical way to mow grass. However, in recent years, battery operated lawn mower technology has come a long way. The torque is great and the battery life is longer.
Environmentally Responsive Mowing
Internal combustion engines have a lot of negatives. They are noisy, require gasoline and oil, and emit pollutants into the atmosphere. I am always looking for environmentally responsible alternatives to traditional mowing practices especially when I’m working in cemeteries.
Last month, I picked up this 80V battery operated lawn mower on clearance. I have used battery operated lawn mowers in the past with lackluster results. Since this mower was on clearance, I was willing to spend the money to see how well it does at mowing overgrown gravesites. After mowing a few dozen gravesites, I’m impressed with its performance.
Grave Care and Grave Mowing
Due to its low noise and air pollution, I feel good about mowing with this mower. In the past, I had to stop mowing when there was a funeral service nearby, but the quietness of this lawn mower allows me to continue working. The fact that it is environmentally responsive is very good for public relations.
If you operate a grave care business, I recommend adding a battery operated lawn mower to your business. I believe you will find a battery powered lawn mower will be looked upon very favorably by your clients.
