Two Guys and a Mower offers organic lawn care option

As a teen-ager living in Texas, Ben Edwards began a lawn care business. When his family moved to Ohio, he continued working in lawn care.

After working for a landscape company and for some other businesses, he founded Two Guys and a Mower in 2009. This year, he’s introducing a new option for his customers – BeeSafe, an organic option for weed control and soil health.

In addition to the BeeSafe fertilization program, Two Guys and a Mower offers mulching and mowing services in addition to grass seeding, aeration, flowerbed cleanup, shrub trimming and pruning and landscape renovation.

What the business does: Two Guys and a Mower offers mulching and mowing services, the BeeSafe organic program, grass seeding, aeration, flowerbed cleanup, shrub trimming and pruning, and landscape renovation. It serves the Centerville, Kettering, Springboro, Miami Twp., Miamisburg and Bellbrook areas.

What the business offers that makes it stand out: Edwards noted that Two Guys and A Mower offers a full, 100 percent organic option that controls weeds without the use of chemicals.

“Our BeeSafe program creates beautiful lawns without dangerous methods,” he explained. “Not only is this process chemical-free, it produces better results.”

Edwards said that the BeeSafe program is a liquid product and is slightly more expensive than chemical alternatives.

“BeeSafe focuses on providing soil with all organic products that effectively treat weeds without the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers and dangerous pesticides,” he added. BeeSafe fertilizer is made up of beneficial microbes, seaweed, kelp, proteins, humic acids, molasses, minerals, and a liquid corn gluten product that has pre-emergent qualities.

How the business started: Two Guys and a Mower was founded in 2009, but Edwards's lawn care business experience started when he was 14 and living in Fort Worth, and using the family push mower, trimmer, broom and a few bags to gather trash. He has also worked in retail, fitness and management, before starting Two Guys and a Mower.
