Our Story
Founded in 2011, The Other Side LLC began as a small crew focused on providing consistent, quality lawn mowing and grass cutting services for residential customers.

Why Local Experience Matters
Columbia’s climate, soil types, and seasonal weather patterns affect turf performance, planting success, and maintenance schedules. A service that understands local conditions can prevent common problems like turf thinning, disease outbreaks during wet seasons, and improper pruning practices that harm trees and shrubs. The Other Side LLC’s local experience lets us recommend the right timing for aeration, optimal seeding windows, and plant selections that thrive in our area.
