Q
I hire a lawn mowing contractor to do my lawns for me, and I'm always aware of safety concerns whenever the lawns are being mowed and my kids are playing in the yard.
How high are the safety concerns, and should the kids be in the yard when the lawns are being mowed?
A
Every machine the Lawn Mowing Contractor uses is highly dangerous.
The edger, the whipper snipper and the lawn mower all have the ability to catch a small rock or other object and send it flying throughout the air with great speed and force.
An object such as this will easily smash house or car windows, and can just as easily cause great injury to a human being, including taking out an eye within a split second.
Please, keep your children, yourself and your pets out of the yard when lawn mowing is in progress, and please, for the safety of the Contractor… be sure that all foreign objects are removed from the lawn prior to your next scheduled lawn service.
