It's Saturday, and the weather is looking pretty good, so the sound of lawnmowers, whipper snippers and hedgers will be echoing around the neighbourhood throughout the day.

One local couple, Timmay and Jessica Middleton, will be fighting over who gets to mow the lawn. In fact, Timmay, or Tim, loves it so much that he and Jessica decided to start their own business.....The Lawn Daddy Mowing Co. A name suggested by their children.

Tim and Jess both work in the community services sector and would like to start a business to complement their workload and give them a better work-life balance.

“I like being outdoors. I love mowing lawns. So I thought, why not make it into a thing?” says Tim, “There's something really enjoyable about when you mow a lawn, you get to the end of it, you turn around, you have a look at it. Yeah, I did a really good job of that.”

Jess verifies that she doesn't have to hassle him about the lawns at home, “No, he actually really enjoys doing it.” Therein lies the challenge, “I like doing it as well. So I usually try and get in and do it before he gets home so I can have my go.”

Tim and Jess offer the full yard service complement, mowing, edging, hedging and brush cutting for suburban residential properties around Lismore. They work between Goonellabah and Casino, but are happy to provide a free quote further afield if they are asked.

Their point of difference comes in the attention to detail. Tim wants to leave the yard with an obvious personal touch, “ I treat everyone's lawn like it's my own. I'll happily spend extra time so I can get to the end of it and go, “I did a good job of

that.”

“Tim is the perfectionist when it comes to mowing,” says Jess.

The name, “It's a bit of a tongue in cheek, but it does actually stem from being a dad. The kids would say, “Daddy's out mowing the lawn.” I'm a father, a husband, a daddy.”

If you are in need of some yard services, give Tim a call on 0421 759 110, or you can find him on Facebook.
