Robotic Lawn Mowers
A Long Island entrepreneur is quietly disrupting the landscaping industry—literally.
Kevin Boodram, a former law student with a passion for sustainability and innovation, is the founder of Serenity Lawncare, an all-electric, eco-conscious landscaping company operating across Long Island. At the heart of his operation is a fleet of robotic lawn mowers that are not only whisper-quiet but also pollution-free—offering an environmentally responsible alternative to the gas-guzzling equipment traditionally used in yard care.
“Landscaping doesn’t have to be noisy or toxic,” Boodram says. “We’re showing that there’s a better way—one that’s healthier for families, pets, workers, and the planet.”
From Law School to Lawn Solutions
Boodram’s journey into the landscaping business wasn’t a conventional one. While studying law, he became increasingly interested in environmental policy and clean technology. The more he learned about the ecological impact of small gas engines—commonly found in lawn mowers, trimmers, and blowers—the more convinced he became that change was needed at the ground level.
“One hour of using a gas-powered lawn mower produces as much smog-forming pollution as driving a car for hundreds of miles,” Boodram explains, citing data from the Environmental Protection Agency. “When you consider how many lawns are mowed every day, it adds up to a staggering amount of pollution.”
Boodram founded Serenity Lawncare in 2023 with a simple but ambitious goal: to modernize lawn maintenance using clean, quiet technology. What started as a one-person operation with a single robotic mower has grown into a thriving business with a growing client base, multiple service teams, and a fleet of battery-powered equipment.
The Robots at Work
At first glance, Serenity’s robotic lawn mowers resemble futuristic roombas for grass. Sleek, low-profile, and autonomous, these machines silently patrol clients’ lawns on a programmed schedule. They use GPS mapping and sensors to navigate obstacles, manage slopes, and maintain consistent grass height.
Unlike traditional landscaping crews, Serenity doesn’t rely on gas-powered engines that spew carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds, and fine particulate matter into the air. The mowers are charged overnight using renewable electricity whenever possible, minimizing their environmental footprint. They also operate quietly—generating less than 60 decibels of sound, comparable to a conversation—allowing early morning or late evening lawn care without disturbing the peace.
“The first time I saw it in action, I couldn’t believe it,” says Rachel Marino, a homeowner in Huntington. “It was just this little machine humming along the lawn—no noise, no fumes, no crew stomping through the flower beds. I love that it’s safe for my kids and dogs, too.”
Beyond the Mow
While the robotic mowers handle the core mowing duties, Serenity Lawncare’s team still plays an essential role. They provide edging, hedge trimming, garden care, and seasonal cleanup—using all-electric trimmers and blowers that are just as quiet and clean as their robotic counterparts.
The result is a full-service landscaping company that delivers precision, reliability, and environmental integrity. Boodram believes that by embracing technology, Serenity not only reduces emissions and noise but also frees up workers to focus on the finer details and the personal touch.
“Our crews aren’t spending hours pushing mowers or breathing in fumes,” he says. “They’re engaging with clients, perfecting garden designs, and taking pride in their craft.”
A Growing Movement
Serenity Lawncare is part of a broader shift in the landscaping industry as communities and homeowners push for greener, quieter solutions. In recent years, several municipalities—including some in New York—have proposed or enacted restrictions on gas-powered landscaping equipment due to concerns about air quality, noise, and public health.
According to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, gas-powered lawn equipment contributes significantly to ozone pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. With increasing scrutiny on emissions from all sources, electric alternatives are quickly gaining traction.
“We’re ahead of the curve,” Boodram says. “More people are asking for eco-friendly options, and regulations are catching up. We’re not just offering a service—we’re helping set a new standard.”
Looking Ahead
With demand on the rise, Serenity Lawncare is exploring plans to expand further into Nassau County, and potentially even into parts of Queens and Westchester. Boodram is also working on a training and certification program for electric landscaping technicians, hoping to build a network of professionals equipped to lead the transition away from fossil-fueled yard work.
As the climate crisis accelerates, small changes can make a big difference—and Serenity Lawncare proves that innovation at the local level can ripple outward.
“I started this company because I saw an opportunity to solve a problem that people weren’t talking enough about,” Boodram says. “Now, we’re showing that sustainable landscaping isn’t just possible—it’s better in every way.”
From pristine lawns to cleaner air, Serenity Lawncare is quietly leading a revolution in how we care for our outdoor spaces—one electric blade at a time.
