Dude I love your videos I'm 24 and just starting a lawn and landscaping buisness in the last month and when I feel down I come too your videos🙌💯🙌💯🙌
U guidence has helped me out greatly
@@MikeAndes cyh
Impressive CEO that goes out and does the work himself and knows alot about his equipment given he has hundreds of mowers in multiple states
Can you do a video on proper cleaning of equipment? Mowers, leaf blowers, weed wackers and trimmers?
A tip for having your mower cables last much longer before they snap is spray inside the cable tube ends with chain and cable fluid at least once a week.
I was looking at my Toro super recycler's cables and yeah, I'll do that.
Does that really work?
Great videos man , i really like to see how the pros do their day to day work. Maybe think about having one of your crews run around with a camera so you dont have to do all the work and you could do the voice over, i know i would still watch and find value in your videos! Thank again for the great videos, you are really helping me to start my lawncare and landscaping business.
Your videos are awesome. Thanks for sharing your knowledge !
Great video Mike !! Thanks!
Awesome content Mike 👍
I really like how your truck is set up with a ramp that’s awesome.
I love the ramp rack. What a superb idea.
I went to your channel because I seen you had Max on there to the right of the screen I showed Ryker, He clicked on your video here and seen your truck and he said daddy’s truck
(“Parent child relationship“ referencing: Interview you had last week) I told Riker yeah that’s daddy‘s truck, .... Dad Mike/ Brother Thank for you Hard Work!
The fact I'm seeing franchises in Massachusetts is amazing bro great work
Thank you for this information 😎
Very great job ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ lovely well done
Also work with the sun for lines. Keep your lines as close to east to west and the reflection hits better (usually) also if you do switch lines cross them so you get a nice checkered pattern which a lot of people aren’t accustomed to seeing, that property would have been perfect for that and would have been fast
I bought a 2019 bad boy rouge with the 61 inch deck. I do use it for my business and my personal property which is 15 acres. In my case I had a reason to buy a big zero turn.
Was waiting for the re-upload
I love this video Mike I want to see more of you using weeder
Roger that
I have been thinking about starting a lawn care business and the funny thing is this the second video i found in just as many days were it is someone from my area making videos about starting a lawn care business i live right by that dentists office.
That’s awesome Gabe! Best of luck!!
Awesome job
I really like your tool set up very organized! Is it a customized rack or something you can just buy for the bed of the truck?
It’s not just about cutting the other way. It’s about all the lines it makes after time . Then it gets bumpy in those lines.
Great explanation
I like these videos for multiple reasons. We can better explain things over the phone to our customers, watching how it’s done, understanding the equipment the customers see and the treatments used. It’s also very funny to hear the recent “voice” say you’re stupid if you mow lawns. That guy doesn’t know the peeps I know. 😂🤣🤑
😉
Good job!
Get a 36 walk behind with a sulky.
Never ever seen a gate snakker than 42 inches .. I've fit my 48 threw a 44 inch gate lol just had to go in at angles and bent the pole a bit
Constantly using heavy riding mowers on lawns eventually stresses and kills off healthy grass (St. Augustine especially) because it slowly compacts the soil and starves the roots of oxygen. Periodic aeration of lawns will help revive the soil underneath. I only use walk-behind mowers because they have a lighter footprint on the turf.
Think quality not quantity. Treat each owner's lawn as it were your own. When you operate the business as a cookie-cutter operation, hitting the turf and no really caring about the customer, your work becomes substandard.
I love my new scag push mower
Love the videos. What is the best 21 inch push mower in your opinion? For someone just starting out. Thanks
You should do hedge trimming tips and tricks
Great video as always Mike! Any insight you can give me on that weed spray? Just the basic ingredients even?
I've done a lot of research and I have come across chelated iron and of course horticultural grade vinegar but they either leave stains or wreak havoc on the sprayer seals.
You’re a beauty, thanks for these
Sir I have been following you for months recent subscriber to help build my business in lawn care and landscaping I have been watching alot of your videos and I just found out today that I have an Augusta lawn care service right in my area I just thought that was cool
Says your in or started in Washington state and you reach all the way out here in tennessee that's amazing sir
Awesome 😎
just discovered your channel and i think your doing amazing work! i was curious what scheduling app are you using on your phone?
ServiceAutopilot and a few other apps
Its interesting, Lawns are the best way to get to know the neighborhood just by knocking.
Dude i love your content. I wanne ask you some thing. What kind of car is that, is it special made ?
What do you guys do with the grass clippings? We have to bag in our market as well
Echo 8010 /9010 so nice clear a parking lot easy it's like a parking lot blower on your back!
I currently just put my stuff in my truck bed but am looking into upgrading to either a trailer or a trailer less setup however if I go trailer less I would need to get a truck to put the ramp rack in. Any suggestions or recommendations are greatly appreciated!
What Software do you use Mike? When your looking through your phone about scheduling, notes, pricing etc..
I was waiting for the re-upload
Someone was fast on the draw =) Thanks for your patience! LOL
Hey i have a question what app do u use for your notes on ur property
Hey Mike great video. I'm interested in starting a lawn care business. My question to you is. Did you start as a sole prop and work you're way up to an LLC/Inc? A video on this topic would be beneficial for sure.
I started with a single-member LLC and then over time merged into S-Corp.
LLC route for us as well
Correct! My husband and I are starting a lawncare business too. We've been watching a lot of your vids. Doing a great job!
@@MikeAndes hi i wondering know what’s the name of the organic weed killer
Hey mike ! I’ve started my own lawn care business. And I’m wondering how much you spend on your truck set up ?
Great video, nice job, I know the pump sprayer is cheaper, how come you're not using the battery type of sprayer that will give consistent spraying? Thanks
I know 🤣🤷♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@MikeAndes we're never to old to learn, lol. 👍👍👍. Thanks
Well. First. Nice and efficient. !!! Spraying here in New York you’ll need permits. I’m not gonna do that !!! 🤣🤣. 2). Like that mower!!! 3) love the “no trailer !!” More money to have one and a pain. 4) grass clipping are hard to get rid of.
Where do you put grass clippings then?
Interesting request. So they don’t want grass cut when they are “open.” (Not like it’s going to interfere with operations inside the building). Also too specific time requests can be a pain if you live in a area where there is rain all the time. (Just my 2 cents)
Can u put a 36-48 walk behind on truck dump bed
I like your belt , can you add a link to it ? Thanks
Mike Andes, great video, thank you. I know you dont want to mention the name of the product you're using to spray. Could you mention what it's main ingredient is? Is it a vinegar based product?
Yes ✅
Hey mike, Doesn't xmark have a second positiion for the handle lower for people lower to the ground? If you just shorten the handle length, the force needed to raise the front goes up quickly, you'd need to buff up some more to make a day of mowing if they just shortened the handle. I have a toro timemaster 30 inch. it has two settings for a taller and shorter person. If xmark doesn't have that (which they should), consider shifting brands. Like the vids. Always finding nuggets to make the work less of a job. As a one man show, I'm finding myself talking with customers regularly (almost too much). They are usually needing other services....everything from Putting on A/C covers to painting, to replacing smoke detector batteries. I'm finally figuring out that they are less likely to dump reliability on price. Just need to wrangle in the handyman stuff to just what Fits in the day.
I use a 2015 30 inch Toro and 44 Inch Toro Proline. I would like to purchase two new Scag mowers in 2022 but don't believe the 30 inch is included in fleet pricing. I'm in Indiana and currently mow mainly in town smaller lawns, if my business transitions into more subdivision lawns later on a larger zero turn would be better than a walk behind like I run. So things might change for us in the future but now it's pretty solid. Love how you standardize your setups.
30 inch included in fleet pricing!
@@charlesbourgeois9029 Thank you
Mike, hopefully you read this comment on such an old video. I am also in Washington State, do you not need an applicators license for an eco friendly pesticide? There is surprisingly limited amounts of info that I can find.
You getting more muscles every upload 😱 💪🏼
LOL must be the camera and gimbal! haha
@@MikeAndes must be those Augusta shirts😎
Hey man what do you use to keep track of your jobs
A floating deck wouldn't scalp. But that's a rider. And it's hydraulic. So you're able to lift it with your foot pedal in case you don't want to use the lever.
price varies with location. For instance, in some areas, you can do a surcharge if the customer leaves dog poop in the yard. In my area, customers would look at you like you had three heads if you said there would be a surcharge for dog poop. In some areas, a tiny yard that a guy can mow with a push mower in 20 minutes can be $40 or $50. In my area, a yard that takes me 45 minutes to do with a 42" zero turn is a $50 yard. I can average $1 per minute, but thats with a few easy yards that are sub 40 minutes for $50 and a few $60 yards that take just over an hour. And while $1 per minute sounds good, after taxes and overhead you lose about 1/3 of that. Still, it beats working at a home depot.
You should try the echo 2620t weed eater. Do u ever take the guard off?
We dont take it off. Too many windows to hurt =)
Have you done a video on the Wright 32” stander? If so link the video, if not I’d like to hear your opinion.
Have done a video on it specifically.... Honestly, there isn't enough difference between that and the 30 inch push mower for us to pay 3X as much for the stander
@@MikeAndes my back might argue with you, but good point!
The man
That is crazy that the camera man is named Brady because that is my name to.
True that on bagging and funny that they don’t think it should be a charge or have a 64 gallon can you can’t use or worse a 12 gallon can for an acre lot 😂
you are really inspired me in this business bro
🇲🇾💪 keep upload great content
TERBAIK BOSSKU 💪✔️
What percentage of your mow jobs get weed and feed also?
I feel mike stand up mowers destroys the grass on short turns. I always use a push mower and bag...
Thanks for these uploads i appreciate it.
😎👌🏻💨🙏👑🙏
If you don't mind me asking, whats the price of the ramp system you have on your truck, there's nothing like that here in the UK
Between $1500-3500 depending on your modifications. This specific one cost about $2800
@@MikeAndes did you have to modify any suspension due to the extra weight?
Good ol Bellingham Washington, my old dentist office
Let’s goooo!
$45 does this include travel time? Fuel and insurance for the truck? This took longer then 40 mins.
Hi I’m a 13 year old kid and I’m looking to do mowing but not as good as urs but could u pls give me some tips thanks
I’m 13 and want to cut grass any tips
What do you think about the scag 30 inch mower
Looks like a good improvement!
in NC, my understanding is that you must have a pesticide applicators license whether synthetic or organic. No license needed for fertilizing though.
Ya, every state is different ✅
What is your minimum charge for a spray? Is it built into the mowing price? Do you put them on a bi-weekly or monthly schedule?
Hey any tips on mowing while it's raining alot for several days. Should I say screw it and go and mow or should I just wait until the rain calms down.
Depends on the type of grass you are mowing and how much raining is coming down 😃
@@MikeAndes What may happen (besides from getting wet)?
115, thousand views?? What is all the excitement on grass mowing? I want to try this on a limited scale as I am a senior now. There's even Lawn Mower Simulation games out there now. Imagine training newbies how to cut grass on a grass mower simulator, in VR? Still wierd. You need the smell of grass in the air and green stains on your hands to really "get it!"
Try toro timemaster 30. It's a homeowner machine that is light an durable. We do 500k a year so we put them to the test. We run both exmark 30s and the homeowner machine is a better machine for half the price
Is there an app you use for scheduling and info about the property (such as time budget)?
Yardbook
It doesn’t have a mobile version though unfortunately. Ruins it for me
@@jessejodouin6729 its on the Google Play store, thatd be weird if apple didnt have it
Nice
🇧🇷
What Organic weed killer do you use?
Answer???
17:17
Does anyone know the weed spray ingredients? I've done a ton of research and I know chelated iron works really well and it can be used in turf but of course that will rust things such as cement also horticultural grade vinegar and orange oil but that tends to ruin seals in sprayers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Pepsi and coke works great also apple cider vinegar
Do u charge by sq feet and do u use yards books
No to both. I have some videos on both topics ✅
How do you find energy for gym after your work day?
Not always easy. Gotta force myself sometimes =)
PITA factor always means more income
Great Cameraperson
Rule number one, don’t advertise where you keep your equipment. Then go on to tell us how easy it is, to drill through the wall.
Lmao.
Honestly storage sheds are dumb to store your equipment that makes you your money. So easy to break into. Im not a theif... just a fellow landscaper that has been taught a lesson that you obviously have not
Just curious how come u only use 30 inch mowers? Do u only accept small properties or?
80% of properties are under 6000 sq ft at this location
@@MikeAndes oh I see
How come you don’t have a zero turn?
I noticed you should complain to Ford Motor company because you could hardly see over the dashboard.
What kind of cargo pants are those?
Carhartt
Mike, why do you walk to the side of the mower? 9:00 for reference
No idea... It is a weird habit... Maybe because I know I am going to be turning the mower soon? LOL
"Keep your motor runnin,...even on the highway! Lookin fer adventure, in whatever grass Im mowin.......born to be mowin!"
Did you do time in the military?
No. I did not
I just watched a dude, doing his job, it was better then the 2nd half of the Super Bowl.
😂😂😂 depends who is playing the super bowl 😂
Looks like a lot of fuel tanks to keep in a sealed container like that. One cap not sealed well or a leak and a spark would make that container a massive fireball
I saw that truck on a trailer go by my house
Dude I legit see your trucks all the time. Can we get together lol?
why dont u use any cones around the truck when parked
Because they are closed
What are the bed dimensions
8 foot
@@MikeAndes thanks and how wide is it to
Idk u don't have more subs I mean most lawn care people on film just are awkward cringe and annoying but ur actually funny
