30 years ago in 1978;
SodHopper, LLC. Owner, Edwin Thomas mowed
his first lawn “for pay” in Johnson,
Arkansas. Throughout the next 30 years Ed
has worked mowing lawns, building fences,
decks, and landscape features as a
supplemental job to his law enforcement
career. In the late 1990’s Ed’s lawn
business increased to over 100 lawns. Ed,
Tammy (his wife) and his two boys worked as
a team to provide such a service to hundreds
of customers.
In 2005 Ed retired from Municipal Law
enforcement and took a job in Iraq as an
Iraqi Police Advisor. During his time
stationed in Iraq plans were made to open up
a lawn and landscape business and run it as
a primary business. As is the case with many
in the Baby Boomer category, Ed and his wife
have defined this as a “second career”.
After a life in law enforcement and the last
three years in Iraq, SodHopper is officially
opening as a full time/complete lawn and
landscape business March 31, 2008.
The official name of the SodHopper character
is “Clod SodHopper” (Sod Hopper as one word
for short). SodHopper is a character that
symbolizes the era of time when lawn mowing
was done by hand, with human power, by
diligence and hard work. But he is also a
reflection of where the owners are now, due
to their tenaciousness and their ability to
set and meet their goals. SodHopper was
designed to reflect both their attitude
toward work and their willingness to satisfy
the customer. SodHopper can reflect back on
his life experiences and use the memories he
formed as a kid to provide a dedicated and
professional quality of service that a
SodHopper customer can rely on.
