Top reasons I’m quitting landscaping
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 бер 2024
- Hello, everyone! Today, we're discussing a topic that's important to a lot of us: quitting landscaping. If you've ever considered this, you're not alone. So let's dive into the reasons why someone might choose to leave the landscaping profession.
Firstly, let's talk about the physical demands of the job. It can be strenuous, with constant bending, lifting, and carrying heavy loads. This can take a toll on your body over time, making it difficult to maintain good health and well-being without proper rest and recovery.
Secondly, the unpredictable nature of the work can be challenging. There are many variables at play - from weather conditions to unexpected obstacles on the job site - that can make it tough to plan ahead and stick to a schedule. This unpredictability can be stressful for some people who prefer structure and organization in their lives.
Thirdly, the financial aspect of landscaping may also be a factor. It takes time to build a client base and a reputation in this field, which can make it difficult for newcomers to make ends meet while they establish themselves.
Lastly, there are personal factors that might influence someone's decision to quit landscaping. For instance, they might want more time with family or decide to pursue other passions or careers that align more closely with their interests and skills.
In conclusion, quitting landscaping is a personal decision that requires careful consideration of all aspects of your life. If you find yourself struggling with any aspect of this career path, remember there are resources available to support you in making positive changes in your life.

No dosh, no pension, still grafting at 72 just to scrape a living, everything hurts. Living the dream baby.
same here at 53 got nothing to show for it either and it all hurts 👍🏴
My brother in law retired at 60 on a million pound pension he worked for Kelloggs all he dose now is travel the world his job was a packer with 10 weeks holiday pay .I'm a self employed gardener and still working at 74. There is no pension, no holiday pay have regularly cortisone injections in my knees and shoulders being self employed is hard if I worked for the council as a gardener, I would have got a good pension so I don't blame you calling it a day at 54 I've watched all your videos. Customer want their garden to doing for nothing .
@@frankholehouse6370 wish I worked for Kelloggs !!!!! Not self employed and hopefully my new endear will be sufficient to carry me on for a while longer we’ll see what happens 👍🏴 thanks,for watching

An the same mate ,self employed in the building industry and being plagued by excruciating back pain,bad knees ,pain etc ,at 57 I'm struggling to cope with it and can't seem to get any help to get me better,I'm just looking for the right little plod on job to come along and I'm out , good luck for your future and look after yourself 👍
Good,luck to you too hope,you get better soon and yeh plod on chin up 👍🏴
Self employed on the outside looks so good but reality is so so different. Health is always number 1.
Good that you’re not packing up altogether.
The very best of luck.
Cheers smoggy yeh I’ve been busy filming today already 👍🏴 something completely new
I admire your honesty mate very few guys are like you, keep up the good work and good luck for the future.
I appreciate that thanks hopefully outdoor dining works out 👍🏴
The end of an era 😮best of luck for the future ❤
Yeh bollocks to it lost my mojo but outdoor kitchens sounds more fun 👍🏴

Just wanted to say, glad you're sticking around so that we have something to watch on the tubes. You have taught me loads. Thank you.
I appreciate that! And I’ll keep the content coming fast and furious hopefully 👍🏴
Best wishes for the future pal. You have a gift that I was always in awe of. Stay safe.
Cheers buddy that’s very kind 👍🏴
All the best Scott in your future projects, loved your honestly in all your videos and the dancing was on another level 😅
Gota love the dad dancing 😂👍🏴
Good luck thanks for all your advice over the years 👍
Thx for that appreciated 👍🏴
I completely understand every point you’ve made. I packed in my own jobs and now work as a sub contractor for bigger companies in town and never looked back. The money’s great and you don’t have to do any leg work to get the projects in or deal with clients. The main contractor supplies all equipment and materials and takes on the risk of underpricing. I make more now than I ever did doing my own jobs because I chronically underpriced myself. The main contractors I work with work for wealthy clients who can actually afford the work. Folks local to me simply can’t afford decent landscaping projects so you end up working for nothing.
I so agree with you on everything all the same issues as me and yeh it’s not worth it in the end so many complications !!! I’m debating starting again but with more bespoke small jobs just something to tick me over and a allow some content we’ll see 👍🏴
I’ve been a big fan of you and your Channel. You should be so proud of the quality of work you have produced over your career. I’m so grateful that you caught some of it on camera. Good luck in the future big fella.

All the best with your new venture and honestly don’t blame you. I’ve lost 3 weeks since last October to bad weather. Don’t know how I’m going to catch that back up. That along with the next clients giving me jip because I can’t start when initially said. Depressing at times
Sounds a bit shit Lee another reason why I can’t do it anymore as there’s to many variables against you and it’s gets you down feck that 💩 I give up with bigger jobs from now on just want to survive stress free.
Good luck buddy 🏴🤝🏴
Gotta try these things m8. Best of luck to ya
Worth a try as always fingers crossed 👍🏴

I wish u all the best in ur new adventure & success Scot
Well enough off all this blah blah as ur famous saying 😂😂@tydybrickslandscapeing good luck 🎉🎉
Good luck Scott hope it all works out for you
Fingers crossed! Just started it 👍🏴
Scott I can relate to so much of what you've said .The work and everything that goes into it to give people a quality job consistently and then always trying to improve on that .Then being the boss and business man its incredibly hard work .Nobody realises it and the money you receive for doing all of it doesn't justify the effort. They say hard work doesn't kill you it doesn't it just cripples you as you get older.
Always been the same hurdles for me Scott your not alone .Your one of the best out there mate we'll keep in touch ive no dought you'll be a success on the outdoor cooking areas and best of luck.
We'll av a pint at the regionals mate see you there 👍your videos always inspired me brilliant mate fairplay
Cheers Justin yeh I know you’ve been having the same issues and it can only go on for so long till something breaks and that time has come for me already and yeh see you at the stadium on the 17th I think 👍🏴
Think its the 18 th mate .Totally right what you say Scott see you at the ccs 👍
What a shame, great videos, brilliant workmanship. Thank you👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it come back for more soon 👍🏴
Do what's right for you every time. Life's too short for unnecessary worries. You're doing the right thing making things more easily managed and cutting out all complications and stuff that causes you stress.
Take a chill pill, put the fused ankle up and enjoy the final two weeks of the Six Nations.
Thanks for making all of your wonderful videos and for taking the time to upload.
Best of luck for your new venture.
Cheers buddy yeh totally agree make life easier sod the stress of the big jobs it’s not worth it to keep anymore and yeh 2 more weeks of rugby 🏉👍🏴
Don’t go mate, love the videos - started watching them probably a couple years ago now. Still done nowt with the patio 😂 I’ve turned procrastination into an art form, it’s a tough gig being self employed. Best of luck with the new venture
Thx buddy for watching all these years much appreciated and keep watching new stuff coming soon 👍🏴
Bravo, and bravo on the new idea. My business, as all landscapers know, has the exact same problems here in Philadelphia PA. This is probably my last year doing the large projects and 2025 I will only take small one person jobs. Good luck with everything!
Sounds like we’re on the same page good luck too 👍🏴
Scott your highly skilled guy i wish you-all the best for the future
Cheers Kevin keep watching outdoor dinning project already started 👍🏴
Man it's tough this landscaping business, I'm on the same boat. Sick of this weather and body is starting to get rusty.
And stuff, don't even get me started 😞
Good luck mate
You got that right! I feel the ackes and pains too 👍🏴
Very nice idea good luck with if outdoor bars and barbecues areas sounds good and do hope you’re ankle Will be better for you and not be giving you any trouble Good luck and hopefully see some interesting video from you soon 👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🍀🏴
I hope so too and sounds like a lot less digging out give the body a rest and just lay blocks and stick tiles to it 👍🏴
Nice one Scott.....sounds like you've found a new niche market for yourself. With your skills and attention to details I think it's a perfect fit for you, scale it down and have more time for bespoke features.
Good luck my mate, you'll do well I'm sure 🤠
That's the plan Jon scale it all down simplify things with less barrowing involved happy days 👍🏴
Be sad to see you go from landscaping mate I love your videos top top guy very knowledgeable man I wish you nothing but good luck for future
Cheers buddy decided it’s a young man’s game I need to find a new way with less hassle 👍🏴
i had the same op as you 20 years later still sore some day's all the best for the future whatever you decide to do
Same op hey almost a year for me now and tidybricks outdoor dinning sounds like a plan to me 👍🏴
I just done my first 102m3 porcilian patio thanks to all your videos I'm a Cardiff bricklayer and I learned a lot from you, I'm sure you'll do well with your next adventure class act pick your self up brother👍🏴thanx for all your virtual advice
Glad to help in some way and I started it all with a bricklaying background too and that helped along the way 👍🏴
Was that an open graded base? Did you need an edge restraint? How tough were the cuts?
It's a hard life mate iv been a countryman all my life 25 years a climbing tree surgeon just finished I'm 61 know I'm landscape maintenance and I can still outwork and out quality the lot off them and I carry so many injuries and heart issues but I'll never stop!
That’s the ticket stay strong as long as you can then play some golf and yeh it’s a tough old game especially climbing trees 👍🏴
Shame to see you go,I’m 56 not got any health issues but the days where I’m totally pissed off with weather,customers and cash flow are getting more frequent ,still get days where I love it just got to keep doing what your best at mate
Good luck with the future keep banging em down and smile 👍🏴
Well Good luck with the new direction 👍👍
Already started foundations are in 👍🏴
Good luck Scott 👍👍
Cheers joe onwards and upwards hey 👍🏴
Alot of respect for you. Best of luck mate, learnt alot from Newport
Much appreciated thx for watching the content 👍🏴
Can sense the pain the in voice, youve done the best you can with the company but sometimes better to downsize and remove the stress. Wish you all the best - realstone landscapes ❤️
Totally agree downsize is the answer less stress bigger smile 😃 I’ve seen your work very nice and keep it up 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping thats the one bud 💪 were slowly getting into the bigger jobs but the money is deffo in the smaller work
Good luck mate hope ur idea is successful
Fingers crossed! 👍🏴
What a loss. Your excellent work lives on 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you kindly 👍🏴
What a shame ! Gutted pal and thanks for the fab vids
hopefully the new direction works out for me and I’ll keep the content coming 👍🏴
Big decision to make but sound like you know what you want …. I’ve Really enjoyed all the videos you’ve done and all the help and ideas I’ve drawn from them ‘it’s really helped’.
Tidy outdoor kitchens sounds good … whatever it is you choose to do I wish you all the best and I’ll keep my eye out for the next videos… take care pal & all the best - Pat
Thanks Pat for that and yes I’ve made my mind up tidybricks outdoor dining and I’m almost finished my first one 👍🏴
Whatever you do, I wish you luck, outside living and few garden walls will be great. 👍
That's the plan! And hopefully entering too 👍🏴
Mate… I’m 54 I. April..
Had all the same reasons as you perpetually skint.
Started Lorry driving….10 years ago…..
I’ve savings
Good credit with the bank
Mortgage etc….
Changing direction is nerve racking…but you’ll be pleased once you make the break.
Good luck .
Snap snap and snap yeh new direction hopefully it’s sunnier over there too 👍🏴
I'm a lorry driver and it is a death sentence 😮
Only today I've been contemplating work and life and how long more I can do landscaping. I'm 53 with back issues and 70% of my work is paving. I miss loads of days with the weather. Luckily I never bothered employing anyone.
Sounds like you simplified things which is good but shame about your back I feel the pain 👍🏴
Well done bro!!! your idea is brilliant, you can do outdoor kitchens standing on your head!!! go for it!!
cheers robin yeh I’m looking forward to something new and outdoor dining sounds like a plan. nice channel btw and subbed 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping nice one bro
appreciate your honesty, not easy to share issues.
being fairly successful in the same trade i can see lots of differences between us. i have an old van, i dont employ on the books, its all cis, if we get rain none of us earn. i dont suffer fools, get rid of dossers fast. driveways are one of my best earners… you dont do them.. i keep a percentage of all income for tax man.
Lots of gypsies down here and there a nasty bunch I don’t want the hassle otherwise I’d prefer too do them but anyways I’ve lost my mojo for the larger jobs now and prefer the smaller bespoke jobs 👍🏴
I'm 46, and my body is knackered. Spent the last 5 years slowly winding the business down. If I'd found reliable staff I could have flourished. Was never a problem finding the work. I'm not sure what I'll do next. Hope you find something else.
46 and fecked don’t sound good yeh definitely slowly unwind find something a bit easier on the body for sure { but what that’s the problem]
Also on the staff side of it yeh it’s sucks they just don’t want too do it 👍🏴
Still young ffs
Fair play to you ! You will clean up the Outdoor kitchen area’ jobs….Go for it Tidy 🎉
Thanks 👍 paul blocks going down tomorrow let’s get it on !! 👍🏴
Best of luck, outdoor kitchens are a nice little niche, can't get enough of them 😅
fingers crossed it works out and I can keep the content coming 👍🏴
Sorry to hear this mate. I wish we were based closer to you as we would happily sub contract landscaping work with you but unfortunately we are based in Northamptonshire 😒. You are a cracking landscaper who has worked bloody hard to achieve your craft and you are also a brilliant entertainer as well. You've taught myself as well as loads of other UA-camrs the art and skill of laying paving to the highest standards in the industry and I couldn't thank you enough for your amazing content. Don't let this get you down pal as they say when one door closes another one opens. How are you doing with work these days anyway? And how is your ankle doing? 🙂
Kind regards,
Sam
Much appreciated for all of that and yeh I could of been a good idea so sub stuff out but I’ve lost my mojo already and almost finished my first outdoor dining area it’s looking lush and manageable for just me to plod on
As for the ankle yeh it’s getting there but still a bit shit on uneven ground 👍🏴
I love the idea of the new venture! I’d watch those videos each week as long as it still contained a bit of ‘blah blah blah’ 😂
There’s never enough bla bla bla it flows out of my gob 👍🏴
Good luck with it mate!
Less is more
Totally agree and thx 👍🏴
good on you pal 👍
Thanks 👍🏴
A sad day mate, really sad i know what you mean about the corporation tax its a shitter mate, you was my online mentor the greatest, stay in touch🏴
I’ll still be here so I’ll definitely stay in touch just doing different shit 👍🏴
Well well what a sad day Scott
It's one more tradesmen that's left the industry of skilled workers.
It's is hard out in the big world of life . The hardest thing is admission to your self that you can't do it because of health. I hope your well as you seemed to be a bit down. Keep your chin up mate hope your new venture goes well. 👍 🏴🍺
Running a business properly is really tough and not always worth it either so let’s make things less complicated build smaller stuff !! Genius 👍🏴
Only just found your channel a few months back, was looking forward to seeing lots more great work, I guess that won’t be happening, good luck on your retirement age gets the best of all of us body just wears out to renew it……
Sounds like you missed the end where I say the new plan take another look 👍🏴
Just like to say I totally agree with everything you just said. Labour biggest problem closely followed by the cost of materials. Unfortunately atm costing work and giving estimates which clients seam to think are excessive is demoralising when all your doing is trying to earn a living. But glad your not totally coming out of the game cos your an excellent tradesman 👍
Cheers blue and yeh it’s definitely labour being a huge part of it all glad I’m turning my back on it by doing something else keep watching 👍🏴
Good luck and enjoy your life
Think positive and all will be ok 👍🏴
Wishing you the best of luck mate
I fully agree with everything you said
As I approach 40 I’m also crap with putting money away for tax ect
Enjoy the job but hate the admin side
Just brought a old van as my truck that I love just isn’t the right thing so she’s got to go
Got very close to packing up just before Xmas and going back to farming which is my real true love
You and Matty from brockstone have been inspirational for me and I drive to produce work like you both
Looking forward to seeing the. New venture
Tidy out door kitchens ( the space your Garden didn’t know it needed )
Great punch line I love it !!!!! I might actually use that 🤜
Yeh the admin side of it all sucks ass never done any of that right always hated it
Farming wow now that’s also tough I bet especially now the world’s gone mental !!!!
Good luck on the road ahead you choose 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping if your ever in. Buckinghamshire let me know you would be very welcome on site for a brew and a chat
Good luck in whatever yo decide to do. Keep the video's coming tho 👍
Outdoor dining and I’ve been busy building today 👍🏴
I sold my own Landscaping business two years ago, I run the business for 34 years. The biggest problem I had the whole time of being in business was STAFF what a nightmare! We always paid well above min wage, provided everything, vans, tools, etc. My business was really successful, loved my job, but hated running a business and mainly because of staff. You are going the right way, do jobs where you can rely on yourself only. But do put some aside from every job for the tax man. it's not worth the Hassel and you can't charge the revenue interest.
I was exactly the same, always down to the staff. They don't give a flying fu@k about the business and think you're making a fortune, pure jealousy. I shut mine down, binned all of them, and started again. I knew I didn't need them to earn a living.
Sorry to hear that about selling the business that’s a shame but it goes to show it’s all about the staff if it fails or not as money doesn’t grow on trees but glad to here your now just relying on yourself with smaller jobs, makes sense good luck 👍🏴
Same for yourself wish you all the best by making it smaller 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping thanks but not working anymore took very early retirement and loving it 😀
That’s where I’m different. Went self employed since 1988 when I was 18. My attitude when I work for someone I know I have to earn my wages and earn the boss a profit. I’m old school though not like the youth of today! Good luck buddy!
Part time at a company and part time self employed , it is hard too juggle but best of both worlds , done this for years good luck
It’s a,tough world out there everything’s hard 👍🏴
I feel the same but fortunately I realised it was dead end in my 30’s. Huge over heads, hard difficult work, back breaking headache, stressful. Seems a thankless task. Customers thinking 10k is enough to landscape a whole garden. I’m very picky what I choose now. I’d rather sit at home than hard scape a garden at a loss.
Yeh totally agree with you I would of been better stacking shelves for Amazon for someone and been better off it’s a hard graft job with it’s difficult customers 👍🏴
Absolutely nothing wrong with just being honest with yourself, laying pavers etc is back breaking work and should pay better, I’ve done small projects myself and got pretty good and laying pavers and mitre corners/edges but we just had a pool installed and we paid someone else to do the pool paving because I know how labour intensive it is, plus I’m 41 with a pinched nerve in my arse.
Great videos and I have enjoyed watching them mate, good luck with the new idea doing outdoor cooking area, I actually think it’s a fantastic idea, bit less labour intensive and can chart a decent price plus job satisfaction, I’m currently setting up our outdoor kitchen here in Australia.
All the best
Pinched nerve in the ass sounds a bit shit I had something similar a while back did my head in !! Yeh tidybricks outdoor dinning sounds like a much simpler idea less stress so keep watching and good luck with yours too 👍🏴
Good luck with whatever you decide to do
Cheers buddy 👍🏴
im 66 still running a building business, haven't stopped since leaving school at 16 !found most young kids want a fortune for doing nothing 🤷🏼♂️
ps never visiting Wales until the speed limit is normal (40) 😂
I slow for the cameras then up through the gears after that pissing things and yeh totally agree about the younger gen wanting as much as possible for nothing in return half the time 👍🏴
the 20mph limit is insane.
Bonkers 👍🏴
Yes ease up lad no need to employ keep it small keep it all 😊
True words thx 👍🏴
Your still got a few good years easily ,loved some of your work ,you have to pick your jobs ,what about tilling house floors ,all year round , a,t,b stevie
Hopefully the years I have left are the most fun 👍🏴
Sorry to hear this …
The start of a new chapter 👍🏴
Good luck mate

Health is more important mate all the best
Totally agree 👍🏴
Hopefully the change of direction works for you mate. Shame about the Marshalls awards this year.
All the best mate!
Cheers Matt might be a slow start getting a new customer base going I’ve got a few in the pipeline so we’ll see 👍🏴
I'm shocked about no nationals this year, did they give a reason?
It was always a great event.
@@rhinoneil131 all down to money I guess and I’m cancelling my membership after the regionals is finished I don’t see a reason to be a member anymore as the nationals events are over now bollocks to em. Whose your company btw
It's Neil, GardenArt of Chichester
@@rhinoneil131 Arh hiya Neil buddy long time since we spoke last and yeh it’s a bloody shame our regional is next Monday see what happens get what I can then bollocks I’m off. Had site visit today told him too it’s not the same anymore no need to use em might as well buy local to me 👍🏴
I’m 60 , do landscaping, fencing. , bit of tree surgery , the hard part for me is the weather , doesn’t get any easier as u get older , but needs must !
It’s certainly a tough old game hey 👍🏴
I worked as a groundworker and took pride in my work, it's hard going manual labour especially in our unpredictable climate, it's been a great pleasure to watch your videos attention to detail, skill and being generous with your knowledge. It's also great to listen to your words of wisdom good and bad, it reminds me of my older brothers little talks growing up. I wish you all the best for the future, keep the vids going and don't let the crap get you down.
Thanks for sharing glad you appreciate the same issues and as you get older it just gets worse but the content will continue as I enjoy doing it and yeh chin up ignore the crap in the world 👍🏴
Such a shame your a highly skilled man your work is always beautiful there aren't to many men that are as skilled as you, would you mind if I ask you a question please I'm laying a base for a green house I've bought I'm a complete novice I've compacted the hardcore do I need to add plastersiser to the sharpsand and cement, I'm not chatting you up but you don't look 54 you look great.
Yeh a plastersiser will help or a quick squirt of fairly liquid does the same and thanks btw 👍🏴
Tydybrickslandscaping Be sad to see stopping the landscaping
But understand why 😢
Myself is going to start on my own just a bit concerned about getting work any tips 👌
Good luck with starting up
Start small start easy and slowly get bigger and faster and better gain experience absorb it all and never rush anything 👍🏴
Thanks for the advice I really appreciate tht I will keep u updated
Ill watch out for ur new ventures Tydybricks landscaping 👌👌👌👌
Totally understand quitting landscaping, I need two other jobs to keep my gardening going, 50 this year now suffering with tennis allbow, arthritis, bad back, weather for most of the year is pissing down, when I do make good money most of it goes back into repairing tools, I never have a sunny day off because of the rain all my customers phone at once, despite loving the outdoors I wish I wasn't such an arsehole at school and learnt a different trade
I was the same asshole in school to busy fecking about and yeh wish I did engineering of some sort really
And yeh the weather has been really shite this year screws everything up 👍🏴
Where are you based? Landscaping and garden maintenance are lucrative in the Southeast
@@oxymoron5167 I’m in Cardiff and I’ve packed it all in business is shutting down time for something new less stressful 👍🏴
I've been self-employed for over 10 + year's now and have always struggled with reliable labourers. They all want to become millionaires overnight but can't get out of bed in the morning and the one's that can, are always either on their phones or complaining about the weather.. I don't take on large jobs anymore, I do as you're planning on doing, just bitesized jobs, jobs I can easily do on my own!
Good luck with your new venture..
I so agree with you regarding the labourers and that’s the backbone of the company when you think of it and there busy on there phone I does my head in !!!
Yeh bite size jobs from now on less stress and I’m happy with that 👍🏴 good luck in the future Matt
