Sheep Lawn Mowers with Lambscaping

A cute lamb. (Not from the Lambscaping Flock, you can see those cuties on their “Meet the Sheep” page.)

On my way to a house for real estate work, I saw a makeshift fence that had not been there the day before. I didn’t think anything of it, I see lots of chicken coops, temporary-setups for cats and tiny humans alike to enjoy the outside world… But as I drove by I realized what creature was hard at work in it’s fencing… I had never seen a yard containing lambs in town!! I was beyond thrilled. But when I return to that area later the lambs were gone. Whamp wha.

The mystery of the lambs remained until a friend of mine was telling me about a company they had recently heard of and I was able to put two and two together — They were working lambs from Rent a Sheep Lambscaping!

Sheep Lawn Mowers in Bellingham

Yes. You can truly rent lambs to visit your property and do the lawn for you in Whatcom and Skagit. How amazing is that? According to Lambscaping’s website they provide some amazing services that include:

• Long-Term Grazing

  • Routine maintainence for your yard. Just mark your calendar and wait with anticipation for them to arrive on their regularly scheduled appearances and make all your neighbors jealous.

• Lambs do Lawn & Weed Maintenance

  • Get your lawn done by the flock!

• Invasive Management and Removal

  • According to Lambscaping, the sheep will munch Himalayan Black Berry, Canary Reed, Kudzu, Poison Oak and Poison Ivy. So long invasive plants!

They also provide Herding Sheep Dog Services and Sheep Shearing!

Why Use Sheep to Mow Your Lawn?

Okay, at first, I thought it was just a cool (and cute) novelty service to do your lawn, but really, after reading more from a variety of articles about using flock of sheep and lambs to mow your lawn, there are some incredible benefits!

Benefits of Sheep-Led Maintenance

• Eco-friendly lawn care

• Natural fertilization

• Weed and brush management

• No loud lawn mowers and fossil fuels!

• Great for Hard-to-Reach Areas (hillsides, orchards, and rocky-ish terrain where mowers cannot safely go.)

That was my research but check out what Rent a Sheep Lambscaping has to say about the benefits of bringing the sheep to your property.

The Local Flock Means Business

Okay, but my other favorite thing about Lambscaping is they have an entire page dedicated to the getting to know the sheep. The little bios and pairs deserve some looking at and just are the perfect “awh” you need to add to your day.

The owner of Rent a Sheep Lambscaping Jason, also has an incredible story about how he got into the business. I don’t want to give it away because you should go visit his website, but as a hint, it involves a very gorgeous looking Border Collie!

The cutest sustainable lawn care option I've ever seen!

I truly cannot wait to see more sheep and lambs around Bellingham, which is why I had to share this amazing company on the blog. I want them to become the resident mowers of the Communications Lawn at Western Washington University and just see the flock everywhere. Their website is delightfully informative, shares prices, expectations, common questions and has amazing videos of the lambs at work and of Jason sheering sheep. Hire the sheep and become the coolest property in your neighborhood and also let us know so we can all drive by and cheer for the sheep.
