Who is The Mowing Man?

Big Sam The Mowing Man

In 2023 we launched Big Sam The Mowing Man

This being a completely new venture outside of our comfort zone, meaning seasonal work, more regular scheduling, new pricing structure and new services.

We partnered up with Darrel  to make this expansion possible, who had the skills and the knowledge of lawn care and mowing to offer the same high standard of service we already offered with Big Sam The Window Man.

Darrel is the main man for mowing although Sam and Leanne do get out on the mowers where required!

The team have the best knowledge and experience to ensure the correct care of your lawn, ensuring crisp edges, a clean stripe and a healthy thatch, moss free lawn.

In 2023 we started with fresh minds and a keen passion with our main objective being to offer a top quality, reliable and a trusted service of lawn mowing to our local area.

We believe we have achieved this in the last 3 years and as we head into our 4th year, it has been a success with happy customers both locally and a bit further afield.

2024 was later starting than we would have liked, as the rain didn't ease off until mid April and did not allow us to get going. This meant that by the time we could get out mowing, lots of lawns had grown a bit too much and required a bit more time and effort to get them looking tidy again.

This didn't take long as we implemented a schedule or slow cut to start the season, giving the plants a chance to recuperate from the wet winter.

2025 started stronger with our mowing crew out on those lawns from mid March, meaning we can give customers lawns the care they needed as the sun began to shine.

Unfortunately Darrel took some time off mid-season due to an Injury but with the help of other friendly local businesses, family and The Big Sam Team - we had a very successful year and even managed to fit in some new customers.

We provided regular maintenance cuts to larger lawns, kept edges stimmed and tidy whilst also tackling some new build lawns, which needed a little TLC as the plants established there new roots.

Darrel - through hard work and physio was back on the tools, with a new passion (and a couple of plates and screws around his spine) just in time for those last cuts - leaving his particularly straight stripes all over Heathfield, Hailsham and Uckfield.

2026 - We are ready for you and tooling up ready for the season ahead....

Equipment is key

Having the correct tools for the job is vitally important to achieve the best look and looked after lawn.

We have a variety of mowers so the correct tool can be used for the specific job. After a lot of feedback, review reading and chatting to fellow companies we purchased the mowers and correct equipment for the job.

Within our range we have the choice of:

Hayter 56 Pro - For the larger lawn, with striping ability. 

Hayter 48 - For smaller domestic lawns, striping ability

Hyundi 430 - Our rough cut mower with the ability to mulch the cuttings, especially for those over grown lawns.

Strimmers - To ensure a clean edge and tidy finish.

Leaf blower - To make sure we leave tidier than when we arrived.

This gives us the ability to choose the correct mower and equipment to suit the needs of you garden.

Leaving our stripe  near you

Originally we hadn't planned to stripe lawns but soon realised this leaves a lot cleaner and professional finish to the lawn.

Adding a stripe also has other benefits for the grass as well, it allows the distribution of sun across each blade to increase and in turn creating a healthier and happier lawn.

The art form of a straight stripe is developed with experience and our mowing team have mastered this very quickly.

In our opinion, even on the shortest cut lawns - adding a stripe finishes the job nicely!

Overgrown gardens

We all have those times when life just gets a bit much and our garden becomes least of our priorities. Health problems may restrict us from completing the garden to the usual standard we would like, or even if you really don't get any joy from gardening/lawn mowing - we are here to assist you.

No lawn is ever too overgrown - it may take a little longer to get it looking lush and green again. With the correct care, time and treatment it is possible to transform any lawn back to its original glory and we are more than happy to take on this challenge.

(If speaking the truth we do actually enjoy seeing a good progression!)

So whether you are looking for assistance for a big lawn tidy, a regular cut or just some help to keep on top of your grass then look no further and book your quote with us.

We are ready to start in 2026 as soon as the sun begins to shine.

Also keep your eyes peeled as we are looking to add more great services to the lawn care side of the business.

Regards as always
