The Grass Was Just A Little Tall...

- Thanks for those that commented positively on my latest video. I got great feedback and was also able to land another lawn renovation. I hope you enjoy the video.
On this job I use the ECHO DPAS2600 battery power base with straight edger attachment, HART 40 volt battery string trimmer, TORO HDX2000 60" mower, and STIHL BR800 blower.
I anticipate comments of folks upset I blew clippings at the house. My alternative was to blow them at the neighbor's house/yard, so I opted to keep the mess on the client's yard and clean it up there. With side yards this narrow, and this much grass, there is no controlling where it lands. A mulching plate or discharge chute blocker would have created a VERY poor cut and would have probably not even been able to function. There is no mower that can mulch this much growth (I guess maybe if you go .5 MPH there is a chance, but even then the moisture in this grass would just turn it to a paste as I mowed it and clog the deck).
As mentioned towards the end of the video, I usually leave debris street side for free city pickup. This neighborhood has a rule about leaving debris out longer than a day (which is silly, because since the city only comes by a few times a week it means you would have to time your jobs to their pickups and what if you only have the weekends free for yard work?) so I hauled it all away to avoid getting the client a nastygram from the Homeowner's Association.
I generally don't collect grass clippings, but this yard was VERY thick and tall, and we were supposed to have some thunderstorms that would have soaked the clippings, prevented them from drying out, and smothered the lawn, so I decided to take the extra time and gather them up.

You got my attention again. These are the videos and time lengths I like to see.
Sorry to hear I lost it! :(
Nice work much love from The Glendale Flowers Channel
Looks like a brand new yard great job
CCCLC - Be careful out in this heat we have been having... Fun to watch the changes in the yards
You ain’t lying. It’s hot in FL.
Great job couldn't have done it any better.
And the neighbors breathe a sigh of relief. Glad you were able to grab this before it got any worse. Great job as always!
I love seeing the racking and cleaning up parts
Wow, that Toro just loves tall grass.
What a difference! Great video Brad!
I love to see these kinds of videos! Hope to see more on the channel in the future
Jeeze... Just looking at that lawn would make my push mower stall!
Just a tad tall! Holy cow! It looked long, but didn't realize HOW long until you made your first pass! Could have baled some of that up as hay! I bet the neighbors are happy to see that lawn whipped back into shape!
Never seen so many clippings in my life! Beautiful transformation!
Wow that was more grass than I thought there was. I knew that there was going to be a lot but I didn't think there would be that much. But overall it turned out to be really nice.
Thanks for sharing and God bless
This is the first time I’ve seen you gather the clippings, I must say I’m thrilled 😁!! I came back & watched it again 👍👍👍
Very professional.
Nice job - raking/hauling away was the right thing to do.
great job Brad👍
I hope you got paid well.....that was a mess..... especially for just one person! Nice job! 🎊🎊
That was oddly satisfying
GOOD JOB!!!
Great job
You keep making these kinds of videos we will keep watching
It's feast and famine with grass ,wet springs high temperature lots of grass ,long hot summer no rain ,brown out without irrigation if allowed,still you can only do your best.
Nice job. We need another jungle clean up, with a zero turn mower
I just started watching ur videos. Good job on ur videos.
I don't miss those prickly stickers at all. But the flat fuzzy ones that just stick to your pant legs aren't so bad. Out here in California, foxtails are the enemy. It's just one spikey barb that go through any fabric and pokes you. The worst is getting one stuck in your sock. Not to mention them getting embedded in the carpet of the car.
Nice job Brad. That yard was a tad overgrown, looks much better now. That was a lot of grass clippings though. It was 109'F in Phoenix today. 😩👍👍👍👍👍👍😉🇺🇸
WOW that grass so THICK!!!!! But u did AWESOME JOB! 😁👍🏻
looks awesome
I'll trim & edge first on a property that bad, then I blow debris into the yard & away from structures/obstacles, mow it. Then mow again bagging after its rested to dry. Repeat as needed then a final blow.
Like you said, you're going to work double at some point.
Good one.
Really nice. 100% Professional work. Maybe in future, they'll mow more frequently to avoid the brown patches? I've hated, in years gone by, to have to explain that, "No, I didn't cut it too short. When it's this tall, the sun is blocked and doesn't react with the chlorophyll down deep so the grass isn't green there. In a week or two it'll be fine". No, you just cut it too dang short. . Whatever. Still, what a nice job and it's great that you've got clients all there in the same neighborhood. Cheers from Texas!
Geez Louise Brad your 'little' and my little are miles apart. Good job 😊
I hope they hire you for regular mowing. That grass was thick.
Head, Brad, that was CRAZY! I think they definitely fertilize the yard plenty. You knocked it down and it certainly looks nice after all of your work.
That yard definitely looks healthy! Great vid.
Love the instructional stuff. I like it better when y'all mow first. I can see the edging and weed eating better 😋
15:45 another benefit to trimming first is it allows you to walk the yard and find obstacles or hazards before you mow.
Thanks for the video, Brad! As usual, brilliant work!
Job well done Brad. The place looks great.👍❤❤
Crazy amount of clippings. This one definitely needs to be cut on a regular basis. Nice looking lawn after its mowed. Great job!
Wow, that was a lot of grass. Great job. 👏👏👏
Now this is the content that I love to see , great work 👍
That was a great transformation. In this heat I know it took a long time to get that done. Stay hydrated and will wait to watch another one.
We always string edged first including all pathways, mowed, then straight edged paths etc. but here in 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 Aussie we always bagged every mow as well.
芝はとても美しいですが手入れが大変でしょうね。日本は基本、庭が狭く、草刈りは家主がするのが基本なんです。頑張ってください！
Nice work! Love your channel, thank you for sharing!
That was awesome.. I would have watched you rake, mow and blow again!!
forget about tall, that grass thick !!!
Great job👍🏾 That grass was thick!
Looks like that is all new. Those clippings were being launched out of the side. Tells me new blades or just perked back up. Good on you for keeping up with the maintenance of your equipment!
Looks great. Awesome job. Cheers 🇨🇦
That Echo edger is fun to watch. Wish that had been around 20 years ago.
Great job as always
Great content as always! Thanks for sharing!
That was a lot of work for a small yard. Good job!!
definitely looked good for goats😍😍
I like this video
I see your keeping busy brad look after yourself and keep the video coming
just a little grass clippings...proceeds to cover a hole drive in clippings🤣🤣
😅
Cant stand HOA's! Great work as always!
Me either. I refuse to live in them but getting paid to do yard work in one probably wouldn’t be a bad gig.
Great job on the lawn it turned out beautiful
Looks Good ! 👍
Awesome job!
That house needed serious lawncare! Hopefully the grass recovers quickly
That's bahia, you can't hurt that stuff.
Another good reason to mow is so you know the height of the already cut grass and you can level it out accordingly. If you trim first, you may cut way lower than the mower and it may not look as good.
"its just a little bit of grass clippings *proceeds to rake all of the clipping onto a bin*
Tall grass there might wet on one side. 👏
Awesome job man
Great job as always 😉 Stay cool 😅
So true, about the stickers!😆
Watched a long time. Sorry I have not given you more likes! We all should do the Like thing but we seem to just go on to the next vid!!
Damn that first little area near the utilities had more clippings than my entire 3/4 acre yard
i always edge if needed, then string strim blow it all in where i can mow it with the mower, then blow again... thats if their isnt any of those sticker things or seeds on the grass.
Glad you had good equipment for the job. That was a sea of wet looking, tall grass. Interesting you mention how some kinds of equipment features aren't workable in changed conditions, green goo wouldn't have been good in an effort to mulch on site nor would, as you said, leaving hay-level clippings on the ground. It was a good point to bring up that you can't always adequately control where clippings go and that it becomes a shift to good cleanup habits and manners. I'd noted the problem with houses closely set together, it might look o.k. on paper but paper designers, who haven't managed yards, don't know that things as clippings don't go down in a straight line much of the time, whether a mower or string trimmer, etc. Can you imagine telling a tree where the leaves have to fall? Admiration, you got that looking very nice.
Thank you for the comment!
My stihl for 56 rc gas trimer would have out weed wicked that Walmart special string trimer
He uses different types of products for people to know how each works, he gets products from a whole lot of different companies.
@@BryanMartinez751 my still fs 56 rc gas trimer out last the battery
@@rustygamer1798 well duh, its gas powered. Im just saying that he only uses those different products to test them out
I would really like an edger like that. 👍
I like how your new Echo keeps running without having to smack it every few feet! 😂😂😂
Fantastic job on this tall thick grass. I know when you dumped that grass you to blow out the cab for about 5-10 minutes. The string trimming was on point, and yes I would have mowed second to avoid those little sticky things all over me. Keep up the good work and stay hydrated 💦💦💦.
The good old videos
E aí Brad, tudo bem por aí?Acompanhando seus vídeos sempre.. 32F aqui no Brasil 🇧🇷.. saudações!
I string trimm first because if it’s tall grass sometime I’ll trimm some of the tall grass down to make easier when mowing! But your right all that grass do get on your clothes but I just blow it off!
The Toro 🙌🏽
I’m not sure I know what kind of grass that is. What is it?
It sure looks like it loves Florida weather
You need a bigger mower for that size yard.
U should have a collection machine for them jobs
What up, Wow that Lots of work. I know in Florida you guys cut lawns just like that for $25 right.😜👍
I was kinda surprised that this yard Didn't Stripe Up as well as I thought it would, with it being a NICE and thicker grass coloring of Green 💚🍏 and Normally no matter what mower you have it stripes, but I guess this ONE didn't want to COOPERATE with you or your Mower 🤣😆😂🤣, still turned out Nice though, CYA SOON on your next video 🚜🚜🚜🚜🌈🌈😎
True that even tho my girl don't care I still do because it's a pain to clean a washer or dryer if you're doing by hand
Well, there really is no right way to mow something that overgrown. It worked great blowing the grass to one general area for you to put it in the trash cans. That sure was a lot of grass! gg
Dang good job with lots of extra work. Notice your mower went thru some boggy areas on the sides of the house. Can't be avoided and it is too bad the grass got so tall. End result: Job well done and a good looking trimmed lawn. Frankly I would refuse to live in a housing area with an HOA. They are only as good as the folks who run them and too often there are too many a-holes dictating and taking money from the homeowners.
If you have a toro titan max please consider doing something like this with it
Surprise they didn’t get a city for it
It looks like you're giving the driveway a toupee.
Great video, Brad! A little disappointed, knowing your track record for gadgets. Thought for sure you'd cut down on time by using a 6 ft. flailing mower attachment for the front of the VenTrac!!
HAHAHA! Just kidding. Good stuff, Brother. Stay cool out there!
Don't forget over a period of time your wedding band finger can get smaller or bigger depending on the weather have you ever wondered what would happen if you're wedding ring ever fell off your wife will probably scream and yell at you so a suggestion would be make sure your wedding band is on because if you're doing those sweeping the grass cuttings in a trash can hit her option is there are tattoos you and your wife can get on your wedding fingers that would be more permanent than losing your wedding rings talk to her about it she probably would like it.
That’s why I don’t ever do HOA’s I don’t believe in them 1 bit
I've definitely seen worse...but yeah, that lawn was looking a little fluffy~
Would you cut in transport height first to knock some of it down? I probably would have. Just a question, no Monday morning quarterbacking from Bucks County, Pa. Love your equipment and setup and truck and trailer. I would really like a chance to use the ventrac they are freaking awesome
I think if I wanted to just mulch up everything I would. Since I was collecting, cutting it one time only has the benefit of making it easier to gather as the grass blades are longer and knit together more. I don't know if that makes sense. I guess think of straws on the ground, maybe 1,000. If you had to rake them up it would be easier if the straws were normal length, right? But if you cut them in half, it would be harder. If you cut THOSE pieces in half, it would be harder still because the smaller pieces would go everwhere. IDK if I am right, that is just my reasoning!
BUT if I wasn't going to gather the clippings, yeah, probably mowing the yard 3 or 4 times going an inch or .75 lower each time would leave the best finish (assuming the yard isn't wet like this side yard and can handle being driven over that many times.
Good question!
