Had an abandoned, overgrown house at the entrance to our neighborhood. Used the same reasoning you did for never working on it myself. Finally got fed up one day and spent a few hours working on it pro-bono. It felt like half the neighborhood stopped by to thank me, give me a thumbs up, or honk and wave on the way past. Such a good feeling!
I got one of those types next to me..some cuts the grass..I decided to get the weeds down in the front(they were tall)..then cut up the pine trees, one of the trees was getting into the facia, cut thst branch amd someothers, then there supposedly was a garage in the back amd it got taken down now there is ass load of weeds, some high, some small... I managed to get that down.. (a little)..I asked for a little compensation still waiting ( I mean I am using gas)...so.far nothing .so.i stopped...i mean I would even take a 50 (or higher) gift card....nope nothing...but the neighbors were like holy s @&!..that's the best it's looked in 25 yrs.the mail person was like wow...
That is awesome Christian! I remember the first time I did this a few years ago it was kind of the same thing. Lots of people stopping to say thanks. It does make you feel good about your work for sure.
I was looking for a lightweight blower for my deck. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxgioZQl3J5wPGAeDINzbieKbT5qomSEx3 There are some huge trees around my house and the leaves and pods drop all over my deck. Having to move furniture around to sweep has become too big a chore. This blower was the answer. It is light enough for this 70yr old lady and powerful enough to blow all the tree droppings off my rather large deck. Thank you B&D. Be aware the cord is not included. I use a 3 prong outdoor cord 25' cord for my 12' x 20' deck. The cord retainer works very well, but don't try to pass the plug through it. That is NOT how it works. You just have to loop the cord and it works great. One of my best purchases. Very happy.
Here in The Netherlands you can "adopt" one or more roundabouts. You as company do the maintenance or hire a lawn care company to do that for you. You can put signs of your company on the roundabout. Of course there are also a lot of lawn care companies who have adopt a roundabout.
Many of the lawn services who post videos here apparently don't use #GoatVacMachines? They are used here by many lawn services especially on commercial properties. I hate those guys who blow their debris into the street. It's like let the city street sweepers get it. I'd rather see them blow their grass clippings and sand into a catch basin. 😠
@@Bigstevoreno0655 This guy blows all his stuff onto the streets too. I'm not sure why he says he does not. He mentions so many times that the city can come and get it.
Hedge trimming sped up is so cool. Most of it already looked good to me and then 5 seconds later I’m like Oh! I was gonna say something sarcastic based on the thumbnail alone but never mind. That thing worked about as well as I’d expected lol
It's amazing how I now notice things I never did before watching these UA-cam videos. Now it's a habit. Lol! Good job you did there. Mr busy bee. I chuckled at the sound. :). Hope all is well with you and yours.
For the short stuff you need an inexpensive mechanics roll around stool. Small seat with a tray under it and 4 wheels, you could rest your forearms on your knees and roll down the curb while trimming, and save your back :)
Haha, good catch! He had some litigation with the roofer who installed his roof years ago. Got another company to put a tarp on to mitigate damage in the mean time. That was years ago. It decomposed over that time span pretty quickly.
Brad, you laid da smackdown on that front entry display!! Very well done Bud. I've seen Richie Plemons use that Echo vac. It looked like it worked really well for smaller stuff like you said and he was vacuuming all his debris up off of concrete. Looking forward to da next video Bud!! Dirty Jersey out!!
You could have bagged the yard trimmings up instead of placing them in someone else's yard unless the other yard was one of your customers but since it was such a small amount I would have bagged it up and hauled it off. I noticed some grass growing out in the street; are you allowed to treat it with a weed killer or not? Nice neighborhood entrance btw. ☺
I am doing free volunteer work for the community, I think it is completely reasonable to put the debris as close as possible for the city to pick up without me having to spend another 15-20 minutes bagging then unbagging on my own property for city pickup! :)
I just had a Pre-Thanksgiving conversation with my mom about you and your videos. So we will all be watching while cooking turkey this Thursday :) HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
I will say starting somewhere around 56 seconds into the video. You look like you belong on Southpark the way your walking & your feet don’t look like there moving. Lol
Looks good. I thought you were using the edger at first and I was trying to figure out how you were trimming around the curb then I realized oh duh it's the hedge trimmer.
I’m confused as to why you HAD TO rake it on to someone’s yard versus taking the time to put it in your trailer or truck? Extra work...well of course. It’s the difference between excellence and short cuts.
I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this. But you put the clippings in other peoples yards for the city to pick up? I would be super worried about doing that. Wherever you place the clippings. It's going to stress the grass and possibly kill it. I don't think what you did is legal and you might piss someone off, and just because of that I would have bagged it and hauled it off.
I truly know that to be a fact. Not talking about the Americanized ones. The Americanized ones are as average as anyone else. The real Mexicans work output is that of at least 3 to 4 people.

Try a battery blower . Most have a slow speed and high speed. Try the low speed.. my worx does great at cleaning debris out of beds. I bet somebody from the neighborhood will complain about you cutting all those lantana's up, you cut all the flowers off lol
Does the neighborhood have an organized group? If so maybe with some encouragement you could get some other neighbors to help. It was nice of you to do the work, but others may be willing to do some also if brought to their attention.
We have no HOA or governing body. We do have a neighborhood group on nextdoor and from time to time organize a group together. Only issue is I never seem to be available when they set something up.
If it is already round, cutting it cube means butchering it. Think how much material you would have to shave off a circle to make a square. I am not going to do that on an unpaid job no one asked me to do! ;)
Some issue with how the roofer put on the roof from YEARS ago. Homeowner put a tarp on after to prevent further damage but I guess the litigation is still ongoing after all this time.
This looks beautiful, you are a very talented local "Lawn Enforcement Officer"! :-) P.s. OMG I should found a landscaping company now, just because of this awesome name - "Lawn Enforcement Agency" :D
@@CopperCreekCuts Oh boy! again promoting an unhealthy way to eat and drink. Don make me thumbs down your next video man.. gerrrrrrrrr Come on man at 57 years old I would work cycles around you not to mention haven't been sick not even once in over 13 years. Diet diet diet!

They do! There is a timer on the backside of the entrance sign (the side closest to the shrubs I trimmed). Agreed about the color, but that would probably involve more maintenance! :(
I'm only allowed one "thumb's up"? You deserve two from each and a warm pat on the back for that, sir. Well done! Maybe it will inspire someone else to add some plantings with color?
whats the name of those plants you trim at 1:00 that are hanging over the curb? Nice work. I see "professionals" leave them sprawling everywhere onto the driveway, lawn etc, the way I see it everything in the mulched area should be contained to the mulch area.
Just wanting to know do you fix the irrigation system there in the entrance if you see a head broken etc. Also where is the sprinkler timer for this property entrance.
Generally I don't fix it, but it depends on what is wrong with it. Best case screw on a new head, worst case dig up to expose piping, cut out damage, join in new. The timer is in the center island.
Nice video! Can it pick up mulch (colored kind you buy home Depot Lowe’s in bags)? I have artificial lawn and my mulch blows all over it in windy days and blower makes it tougher to get out of blades so wondering if vacuum works better for this and if this can handle it

I am subscribed to quite a few lawncare channels but yours is by far my favorite. Keep up the great work
That weed whacker sure made quick work of those shrubs. Might have to get myself one like that.
It worked well for sure!

That's just plain awful that an HOA that takes in thousands of dollars a year cant even pay someone like you to do this!!! Looks amazing!!!
Shouldn't have skipped the backstory! :D
Side note...HOA takes in almost a hundred thousand or more a year. It's a scam.
Its not an HOA controlled neighborhood. Pay attention

Great job mate. I like the idea of that bin there for the blower vac

Sounded like a pesky bee the whole time. Lololol. Wasnt used to hearing that sound. Lol. Great job as usual!!
Yeah I was looking for a video that show if a leaf vacuum will work well for picking up leaf clips
Hope it helped!
I so enjoyed it when you sped up the video because it reminded me of a bee hive and thank you and a job well done ✅.
Hey I love your videos I'm a lawn care guy myself but I've learned alot from your videos
Glad to hear it!
Turned out very good man.....nice job...

Very good. I would like to get some type of sweeper/vac for the street curb.
That would be great! Thanks for watching!
Do you have a video or can you make one showing the materials you used on how to make that trash can setup with the blower vac?
Shoot I've used a weed whacker instead of head trimer to edge the overgrown plant at 1:00
Would have been less safe for cars that might have been passing, but maybe.
