Instead of firing up noisy lawn equipment, hundreds of residents in neighborhoods around Washington, DC, are calling in a team from a company called Lamb Mowers, where sheep handle the job naturally, quietly, and with plenty of charm. The company transports its friendly flock to homes and businesses across the area, where the sheep get straight to work munching through overgrown weeds. Once they arrive, temporary fencing is set up, and then the sheep are released to do what they do best. Starting at $195 for a 2-hour visit, the flock will weed-eat, feed, and mow lawns. The idea began back in 2015, when founder Cory Suter purchased a farm in Fairfax County and noticed how effective the sheep were at clearing unwanted vegetation. What started as a mowing service quickly evolved into a specialized weed removal business that has become both practical and wildly entertaining. For larger properties, the company even offers overnight visits called “Sheep-overs,” allowing the flock to stay and continue working through tougher jobs.
