Pequest Union Cemetery lawn mowing at night??

I was driving past the cemetery last night, when I notice lights in the cemetery. Someone had fixed lights on a mower & was cutting grass at 10 pm. Very strange. Is there not enough hours of day light to get the mowing done? Anonymous vigilante mow boy maybe?

It was probably a ghost mower

I don't think Tillie would be mowing at night, but maybe James Titus? :-D

That is late, unless they were obligated to get it done for the weekend. People would want their father, uncle, grandfather, son, and etc to have a nicely done lawn when they visit tomorrow. Bless them all.

I think maybe Mr. tone's neighbors need to fire one up and mow at 10PM or so. I mean people need to get things done after all... . It's not really your business that people chose to discuss this and/or joke about it either, but you have the freedom of speech to be a jerk to the people that do. Feel free to mind your own business.

Unless you're in an entirely rural setting like a farm, the lights or light kit are mainly for early Spring or late Fall when it gets dark earlier, but you still need to mow and are within the "noise ordinance" times. I imagine they likely even come with warnings so they (the manufacturer) won't get sued.

You mean I’ve been mowing against God’s law.

I don’t think any of this mowers neighbors are going to get all up in arms about this. It’s not like the noise is loud enough to raise the dead. But if it did, I bet they could raise a real stink.

Most likely their equipment broke down and at this busy time of the year at the repair shops landscapers go first , everyone else back goes to the back of the line . It happened to me before and it could take two weeks or more before your machine is repaired . They might have hired a service which did it after they serviced their regular accounts and at this time of the year with all the rain there aren't enough hours in the day .

Just some folks doing what it takes to get the job done that's all. No worries as there are no homes nearby to "bother". Mow away brave ones!! LOL


If the "residents" there don't care why should you.


From what I can gather, the night mowing continues this evening, blazing lights and all. The equipment tuned to operational perfection, blades :razor sharp and tank full of RDJ premium fuel. I know the person doing the mowing and he is probably one of the most dedicated and hard working individuals I’ve ever known. Best to just leave him to do his thing. However, if you want to stop and talk with him, bring a chair and a cup of coffee, you’ll be there a while
