About

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. Over the years, as client needs evolved, we expanded our offerings to include landscaping installations, seasonal property maintenance, aeration, mulching, and tree & shrub trimming. The growth of the company is rooted in repeat business and referrals — a testament to our commitment to results and customer service.

Core Values

  • Integrity: We give straightforward advice and fair pricing. Our estimates are transparent and tied to outcomes.

  • Reliability: We show up when scheduled and communicate proactively about any changes.

  • Quality: From the equipment we use to the techniques we employ, quality matters at every step.

  • Local stewardship: We care about Columbia’s neighborhoods and landscapes and use practices that support long-term plant health.

  • Continuous improvement: We invest in training and tools so our crews deliver consistent, professional results.

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.

  • Mowing technique and turf management
