With SB Mowing, this Kansas man turns overgrown lawns into internet gold

There’s something hopeful and almost soothing about watching SB Mowing’s YouTube channel.

Spencer finds yards that need attention — the wilder, the better — and knocks on the door to get the story. Sometimes it’s an elderly homeowner who has trouble doing yard work. Sometimes the person inside doesn’t own a mower. Often the home is vacant, and Spencer talks to the neighbors, who tell him it’s a perennial problem.

Whatever the case, Spencer offers his services for free and gets to work. The 24-year-old Wichita man, who asked us not to use his last name to protect his privacy, turns wild lawns into internet gold.

SB Mowing has more than 20 million followers across all social media platforms, including TikTok and Instagram. His time-lapse videos of lawn transformations have garnered more than 2 billion views.
