If your lawnmower ever breaks down, all hope isn't lost. Nature (and a little marketing ingenuity) has created the perfect solution.

Based in eastern Tennessee, the G.O.A.T. Grazers (@thegoatgrazers) shared a TikTok of some of its furry employees on the clock.

The TikTok shows a time-lapse of the goats eating over three separate days to clear the plants out of a yard.

"Turned out great and I miss them already," the person who received the mowing said in the comments. "And i got to love on them, they literally are just big grass puppies."

Goat lawnmowing is an innovative and adorable way to get your lawn together. 

Having "grass puppies" in your yard is one of the best feelings in the world. They also don't pollute or exacerbate allergies very much, two things that, according to House Digest, lawnmowers are guilty of.

If goats aren't available in your area, an electric lawnmower is the next best thing. They're quieter and easier to use, and they don't release polluting gases into the air. 

You could also eliminate having to mow altogether by installing a native plant lawn. Rewilding and planting clover or buffalo grass are just a few ways to revitalize your yard while contributing positively to biodiversity. The pollinators who keep our food supply intact will thank you.

If changing up your whole lawn is too much, a partial switch to native plants can still make a difference. Every area you convert means less water usage, more savings, and more charming backyard visitors.

As for the goats, many people raved about them in the comments.
