I am so very sorry for those who called, but couldn’t reach me!

The short story is I WAS HACKED! My phone number fell victim to sim swapping thanks to the negligence of my wireless provider, Straight Talk Wireless. If you are on Straight Talk, I strongly advise you to RUN!

For weeks I and my wife have been battling to get everything back to normal. We’re still working to recover accounts and now I hope to inform you all of what happened and how you can reach me.

The new phone number for Rescue Lawn is 234-286-0943

I am definitely taking on new clients so feel free to call or text the number above and I’ll get you an estimate for mowing services asap. Existing customers will receive new business cards soon. Thanks so much to all of my loyal customers. Truly, you are all more than customers, you’re friends!

Review of The Top Work Headphones Available

I mow a ton of lawns each week and have done so for the past 15 years. Yep, like many of my readers, I started young. Just another monkey on a mower, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve begun to realize I need to protect my ears.

I want to hear people when they talk instead of being the old guy always asking, “Huh?, Say again…?” So a few years back I started purchasing headphones that could really cancel out the loud 23HP motor I sat next to for 12 hrs a day, 3-4 days a week.

Mowing the other day, I reminisced on the many headphones I’ve bought. Mowing through the rain on another dreary, Spring day in Ohio, it dawned on me that I may have some helpful information that could be helpful to others in the field of non-stop weed wackers and mowers..

Stanely Sync Digital

With the Stanley headpones have the choice of listening to the local radio stations or plugging in to another device with a coaxial cable. The radio seems to work quite well on most stations in my area and of course the ability to connect to your smart phone is a plus, but I found the wire to be a nuisance because it got caught on the mower handles too often. When weed wacking I frequently got caught up in bushes and low lying tree limbs.

My biggest complaint by far for these head phones is that the amount of noise cancellation is just non-existent especially after a couple months of use. It was only after years of using these I realized I was not getting the protection I needed. I was hearing so much of the mower that I was forced to turn up the volume on my music all the way. This meant not only was the sound from the mower hurting my ears, but the music was too.

Ion Tough Sounds With Bluetooth

The Ion Tough Sounds feature a rechargeable battery that is not removable and can be charged with a basic usb cable which is included. The battery lasts 20 straight hours of listening and charges quickly.

How’s The Bluetooth

I’ve no doubt the ease of use with the Bluetooth function is something to be admired by Ion’s competitors! It always connects easily and quickly and the memory function even allows the phone to connect automatically when the headphones have been turned on. I’ve found that the Bluetooth range from headphones to smart phone is pretty good too. Sometimes when my phone battery is low I’ll keep it charging in the truck while I continue to mow. As long as I stay within about 40 feet of my device, I can keep listening via Bluetooth.

I love the ability to take calls even when I’m swinging the weedwacker back and forth. Granted, I can’t talk on the phone with my wife while continuing the rev up the motor because it makes it difficult for her to hear. It’s just so nice to keep moving even when a call comes in. This function, to me, is huge!

Another huge plus is the affordability of these wireless hearing protectors. Comparable head phones are priced much higher and they just do not hold the same quality.

3M Work Tunes With Bluetooth

I have a large head, but these 3M head phones are by far the most versatile for varying head sizes. Not sure why that was the first thing that came to mind lol. I like the toughness and design of these Bluetooth Work Tunes.

3M Work Tunes Nothing Special 

They’re comfortable, and durable but they just don’t cancel out noise like I need and therefore I found to continue using these as my main headphones I would be damaging my hearing.

I didn’t prefer the functionality of the buttons as it just seemed unnatural. Connecting and staying connected to Bluetooth is not as “automatic” as it is with the Ion Tough Sounds.

You cannot answer and talk on the phone while wearing these like you can with the Ion head phones either which is a huge loss in functionality.

I definitely feel like these headphones are over priced.

Lawn Mowing Service 2017

North East Ohio sure has a way of teasing us! 70 degrees today with 3-5 inches of snow expected tomorrow night! Despite all of the ups and downs from the recent weather reports, we are out and about mowing and completing Spring cleanups, Mulch Installations etc. for our customers. 

New Service Areas Smithville, Sterling, Rittman and Doylestown

I’ve been making the usual calls to all of our mowing customers from the 2016 season to confirm they still need us and most have replied with a hearty, “Of course we do!”

Still, with every new season, things change and people move on leaving us with time to take on new customers. As always, we’re happy to accept new customers from the Wadsworth, Norton, and Firestone Park area of Akron, but this year, we’re expanding our mowing service into most of Rittman, Sterling, Smithville and Doylestown. Over the last few years we’ve seen a real lack of good mowing companies available to serve these communities so we thought we better throw our hand in.

Rescue Lawn Deserves Your Trust

I’ve said all of this in earlier articles and something I’m really proud of. Rescue Lawn will always be around because it’s the life’s blood of my family. These bagged grass clippings and beautifully edged sidewalks put food in my growing boys’ mouths. Mowing isn’t just a job though. Not for me. I understand, anyone can push a mower, but I really love doing this and I take pride in every aspect of the work I do. This is the same with my employees.

I, the owner am always on the job and I’m always available to my customers. There’s no 800 number. If you’re in our new areas of service (Smithville, Sterling, Rittman and Doylestown) and  and need a free quote for lawn care, please shoot me a text or call me directly with the address and I’ll get back to promptly with your estimate!

Call or Text For Your Free Lawn Care Estimate!

It’s really astounding to hear so many residents calling us saying, “We called and called other service providers, but they never showed up!” What gives? Surely, it didn’t use to be this way! If you need your lawn cut, call me, Dan Weese, at 330-703-2901 and I’ll get back to you promptly-simple.

Our Lawn Care Service is Always Better Than They Expected!

We’ve been all over this season wowing each new client we do business with! Maybe that’s why our clients are always smiling and waving as we drive off after servicing their lawn.

Here’s a Short List of What You Can Expect With Your Lawn Mowing Service:

• Consistent scheduling. We show up the same day, at around the same time, every week. Of course, if you see rain the day before, you can probably guess we’ll be a day behind that week.
• We’re clean, courteous and considerate of our customers and it’s important to us that we over-achieve on our services. We keep our shirts on and we don’t smoke or use foul language.
• Clean edging of the walks and drive, nice, straight striping and bagging of excessive lawn clippings is included in our weekly service.
• The owner of Rescue Lawn, Dan Weese, is always on the job with his employees to ensure that the service being provided is always of the best quality possible and you have the number to his direct cell phone-That beats calling a larger company with an 800 number if you need something.

“Services” We Don’t Provide With Our Lawn Mowing Service:

• Painting your air conditioner, vinyl siding, vehicles and flower beds with freshly cut grass.
• Cutting into the siding, rain pipes and electrical lines with our weed wackers.
• We don’t canvas your lawn with heavy clippings and clumps. We don’t walk around with our hand blowers afterward in an attempt to clean up a mess that should have been avoided in the first place.
• Leaving the road covered in lawn clippings to let everyone know we’d been there.

The a fore mentioned “services” are provided by some lawn care companies, but certainly not ours.

When you call or text me, Dan Weese, at 330-703-2901, be sure to leave the address of the property you would like serviced so that I can return your estimate more promptly!

Dirty Bathrooms Courtesy of Your Local Lawn Care Technicians?

Being out all day we in the lawn care/landscaping business have to rely on gas stations and restaurants to provide us a restroom. We need a place to relieve ourselves, but after working half the day, we need running water and soap to scrub all that grease and grass off our hands, arms and face. I really appreciate those businesses that allow us dirty boys to use their establishment to clean off and replenish aren’t you?

Here’s what errks me though. Walking into the bathroom sometimes I notice the last crew didn’t give a darn about cleanliness. They cleaned themselves up, yes, but in the process left grass clippings, dirt and grease all over the floors, in the sink and on the mirror! How rude! So now, me and my lawn care crew have no choice but to make due with the now grossly littered fixtures.

The Implications Are Worse Than You Thought.

It’s bad enough my before lunch freshening-up experience was ruined, but what are the other patrons and especially the employees of that establishment to think of us lawn care workers? I get the evil-eye a lot of times when I ask when inquiring to the store clerk about the location of the restroom.  I don’t blame them. They shouldn’t have to wonder, “Is he gonna trash the bathroom I just worked so hard to clean?”

This messy behavior can have even bigger consequences for those in the lawn care business. Given enough time, we’ll begin to lose business with the neighbor-hood home owners. No one wants dirty,lazy lawn care “technicians” walking around their home. They know if you don’t care to clean up after yourself, you probably don’t take a lot of pride in your work at their home.

Let’s Turn This Around!

Set the standard if you’re the crew leader or owner of your lawn care business. Tell your team clean up their act and if you go into a bathroom that’s been messed by another company, go ahead and clean it up yourself like I do. You don’t want someone else’s mess being counted as your own when you exit the bathroom.

Lawn Care Provider in Wadsworth

Wadsworth’s most trusted Lawn Care provider is back! We’ve had a successful first week and it’s been great to get acquainted with so many new customers. So far, we’ve added to our regular mowing schedule, clients from each of our four service areas.

This year we’re happy to provide services like mowing, fertilizing, mulch installation and much more to those in Wadsworth, Norton, Barberton, and Firestone Park of Akron. If you’re unsure whether we service your particular part of town, please just give us a ring or shoot a text with your home address and if we can’t provide what you need, we’ll refer you to someone who can.

It’s Not a Scare Tactic. It’s Truth.

Sometimes it can be so disappointing driving past a lawn that’s been recently cut by an area lawn care service. You know, that company that shows up with three giant riding tractors zipping around your small lawn spraying grass everywhere. It’s supposed to be a mowing service, but too many times unsuspecting customers are finding their newly mulched flower beds, white vinyl fences and sided homes have practically been painted john deer green. Covering the road with grass and leaving it; that’s my pet peave.

Trust me, it gets worse. On average, about half of my new clients have at one time been a client of some other mowing service provider. Many times it’s clear these new clients have received less than quality mowing from their last guys. When completing the job estimate for my new clients I have to notify them of existing damage to their home, usually the siding. Unfortunately, too many of the guys manning the weed wackers don’t know how to properly use them. They’re just too rough. The siding, drainage pipes and electrical wiring along the home become casualties of ignorance and impatience.

You Can Trust us With Your Home and Family

I’m extremely proud of the service we provide at Rescue Lawn. We sincerely do treat our clients and their homes with respect and courtesy of the highest regard. Our employees are trustworthy, clean cut and hard working young men. You’ll never look out your window to discover shirtless males smoking cigarettes and swearing as one of our newest clients complained about her previous lawn care provider. You will discover our lawn care service to be reasonably priced and surprisingly beautiful.

They’re Putting Out The Lawn Ornaments Already?!

No, we haven’t started fertilizing the grass yet, but like all major department stores, we’re getting things ready for Spring! Thawing out and tuning up the mowers takes a lot of work, but we’ve got to start now to be sure they’re in tip-top shape when they first hit your lawn this season.

Did You Know We Offer Snow Removal Too?

Thought I would just write this short post to let all of you know, yes, we’re still kickin’ even through this crazy cold and snowy winter. Speaking of snow, we still offer snow removal to all of our clients when the snow fall totals at least 3”. When we show up for the snow, you’ll notice we don’t have a plow attached to the front of our truck. No, we have more of a “midas touch” and prefer the use of a small snow blower and a couple of shovels. It may take a bit longer than it does when using the plow, but we find the snow blower does a more precise job and there’s no danger of damaging the lawn either.Call us if you need a dependable snow removal service!

Do Not Delay! Call Us Today!

Ok, I know that’s cheezy, but just hear me out! Like I said in the beginning of the post, we’ll be ready and willing when it comes time to cut the grass this spring! Our service area not only includes Wadsworth, Norton and Barberton, but we’ve recently expanded our operation to the Firestone Park Area of Akron. Although our quality of service is awesome, you’ll find that we still offer some of the lowest prices around and we even price match for those of you looking to switch from your last year’s lawn care professional.
