MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) _ One lawn care company is showing a little skin to boost business.

The women of Tiger Time Lawn Care offer to mow customers' lawns dressed in bikinis _ a service that attracts more attention to the ladies than the lawns.

``Oh yeah, they honk and yell. They can do everything you can imagine,'' said employee Blair Beckman, 21.

Beckman said the extra attention is expected, but she looks on the bright side.

``You get the attention but you also get a tan, which I need,'' Beckman said.

Owner Lee Cathey said the bikini service makes mowing the lawn a lot more interesting, although the fee is slightly higher.

``The yards definitely get more attention when there's a bikini on the lawn,'' Cathey said. Some customers sit in lawn chairs and have a beer while watching, he said.

The three-month-old company is looking for a way to expand the service through the end of summer.

``In the fall we'll go pick up leaves in the bikinis if need be,'' Cathey said.

Cathey said there hasn't been any interest in a male version of the bikini lawn cut.
