Tom's Tilling & Mowing

About Tom's Tilling & Mowing

March in the Wenatchee valley smells like wet ground and cut cane — the orchards out toward Monitor and Cashmere are full of ladders, and backyard gardens sit waiting on somebody with a tiller. Tom's Tilling & Mowing turns that soil over, breaking winter's crust into something a seed can actually live in, then comes back through the summer to keep the lawn around it mowed, trimmed and edged. There is an old rhythm to this country: work the dirt early, water it hard, and take what the long hot light gives you. A tilled bed and a cut lawn come from the same instinct, a place tended on purpose rather than left to the sun. Fall brings the cleanup, and the ground rests until it is asked again.
