Well, it's every homeowner's dream, someone else cutting the lawn
0:03
Yeah, and it's becoming a reality for more people thanks to new technology. Fox News' Jody Goldberg tests out the robotic lawnmower
0:12
It's a Roomba for lawns. And it operates on electric. I just saw that this was something the community really needed
0:22
Call it a career change for Kevin Boudram, who went from law school to landscaping
0:27
I was just doing my online classes during the pandemic for my house, and I couldn't concentrate because of all the noise
0:34
The 24-year-old opened Serenity Lawn Care, an all-electric powered landscaping business. If landscapers are willing to step up and get rid of this noise and pollution, I'm going to step in and do something about it
0:45
Thanks to grant money, Boudram went from cramming a mower into his Mustang to purchasing robotic mowers that are on the cutting edge
0:53
It stays in the most raw lawn multiple times a week. With a traditional landscaper, you cut the grass and it looks nice
0:58
Three four days later the grass is overgrown again Boudram who checks on his properties every other week says these automatic mowers are less noisy and more efficient than the traditional gas mowers
1:11
Switching to electric equipment now doesn't produce nearly as much pollution. It also doesn't produce as much toxins
1:16
You can see here we have the grass clippings. It does mulch up the clippings. It takes off a little bit of time and leaves it on the grass
1:22
The water evaporates and you can't see the clippings. And the technology is so advanced on a day like today when it's raining
1:28
it knows not to mow the lawn. It also has alarms and GPS tracking
1:33
so anyone thinking about stealing it will likely be caught. For a lot of our customers, the robot becomes a member of the family
1:39
They sit outside with their grandkids and just watch it go back and forth. While Serenity's prices are roughly 20% higher than other landscapers
1:47
the majority of their customers say the difference is dramatic. We're getting nasty phone calls from our neighbors
1:54
about the weekend leaf blowers, and we haven't heard a word and our lawn looks beautiful
2:00
A silent solution that they say is a cut above the rest
