Board awards cemetery mowing contract to incumbent Riverside Lawn Care

Apr 8, 2026

After opening two sealed bids for 2026 cemetery mowing, the board awarded the contract to incumbent Riverside Lawn Care due to its lower bid (mow & trim biweekly $175) compared with Babb Lawn Care's higher estimate ($300 per mowing).

The full story

Two sealed bids for cemetery mowing services were opened: Riverside Lawn Care (incumbent) offered mowing & trimming biweekly at $175 (mowing only $160) with optional headstone blowing and sweeping at additional fees, while Babb Lawn Care of Richland Center estimated $300 per mowing for combined mowing and trimming. The board noted the current provider had charged $155 per mowing and, given the significant price difference and incumbent references, moved to award the contract to Riverside Lawn Care.
