- This garden was on our maintenance schedule and a relative of the customer took the garden on but it just proved too much for them.
It’s back on our schedule now but it took a bit of work to get it back into some sort of shape.
Thanks for checking in with us at #lewisgardenservicesltd please like the video and subscribe to keep up to date with what we get up to.
Hi Nathan, great job. It's good that youe too professional to tell them to get stuffed 😂👍
Cheers 👍 I'm obviously super professional 😅🤠
Had a few of them years ago. My son or cousin is going to cut the grass now till they realise how hard it is.
Sometimes they don't get as far as getting the old mower to start 😅

Nice one Mate Just subscribed to you 👍🏻 impressed by the performance of the battery operated stihl kit 👌🏻
Cheers 👍 thanks for that and yes the battery gear has been a great investment for me. Have a good weekend 🍻
Hi Nathan,
Happens quite a bit now unfortunately but where money is concern love your tools I suppose in the future it maybe all electric,
Take care in this heat and it looks so much neater and in control.
Lee.😁🌳
Yea you're right and no doubt will see more of it, love my battery kit too👍 gonna be a warm few days so take it easy mate☀️☀️
Good job buddy, I bet there glad to have you back.
Cheers 👍 we'll see😅
Its Back breaking work for the un experienced folk out there ,you can't beat a boomerang job landing back in your lap.😉👍
Having the kit and the 💪to swing them about helps😅
Well Lewis could you do a review on the echo leaf blower 👍
Love the hand held and backpack blower, will do that. Cheers 👍
Morning Nathan. That is irritating when that happens, fair play to you for taking it back on. I'm off out early and knock off by 2pm, it's going to be a roaster again.
These very hot days are a killer! I'm working until just before 5 annoyingly (with a quick break at home halfway)
Really not enjoying the weather for gardening
Yea but fair enough I guess they thought they could do, was never my favourite garden so was no odds but I did you'll probably need us back so feel free to phone in😅 enjoy the warm day 😬
@@ipodgooroo going to be hotter still from tomorrow George, take care
@@slowmarchingband1 just what I wanted to hear....! I've been strimming since 7:45 and it's already roasting..!!
Have a good day
It doesn't look rough after your visit, it looks pukka. I'm like you, a perfectionist but sometimes you gotta reign that in.. you can't do miracles either. Who on Earth is going to maintain a garden like that 😂 Homeowner I mean.. and achieve the finish you did. Fact is we do do miracles for people. It's a blooming hard job is gardening. Job looked perfect mate.
Cheers 👍 got to find the balance sometimes with the final result with the time you have on a job. You're right tho as a home owner this garden would be a day's work a week probably to keep it tidy. Thanks for watching 👌
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd You've hit nail on head there. Took me a while. It depends doesn't it.. if you've not got much else on you might go over time and if you like a customer you might stay longer and "perfect" but.. if you're running a business which you are.. and especially when you have a small team in.. it's about the bottom line after all. It's about delivering the "product" and getting to the next job. Exciting doing it like that but also stressful at times. Depends how good one's team is.. if you had my Alice.. well she's good but you have to put up with alot of moaning during the course of the day 🤣
Good old Alice 👌 can be stressful on times but not normally with doing the actual work but everything else involved, people mainly 😅
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd Exactly people. The work is mostly fine. It's not easy of course but when you're experienced and you know little shortcuts it's fine it can even be dare I say it, enjoyable 🤣 People suck, gardens are fine.
hi Lewis could you possibly do a vid about pricing please? its the most difficult part to get right. thanks love the vids very helpful
Hi, I've got one in my head to do🤔are you thinking actual cost or the factors to take into consideration?
factors to take into consideration would be a massive help, trying not to over charge and put them off, but at the same time not under charge and lose out on money. as always looking forward to the next vid cheers and keep up the great work.
@@GardeningGooner cheers 👍 will do. I'm on it👍
Wow that's a awesome job 👍
You think?....was rough😅
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd hot hot hot hot 🔥🥵🥵🔥 cutting bay tree at the moment, I'm in south Devon,lovely when relaxing 😎
Nice one👍on the hedge work here too👌☀️
When it rains it's going to go banana's? Done all the hedge cutting clean up after food time,too 🔥🔥🔥🔥🥵
@@rogersoper2234 rain end aug may make the sept flurry go even more this year... we'll see🤔
I haven't cut any grass really in the last 6 weeks + .... Crazy dry! Just the odd bit of strimming weeds etc. And yes screw turning over and digging borders it's literally like concrete!
Hope you're keeping busy enough tho, we've had a bit of rain but it's all burnt off here now. Concrete borders😬
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd yes I've got plenty of hedges at the moment 🥵 looking like some rain early next week anyway....
People are unbelievable sometimes I had this customer where I went once a fortnight to cut the grass weed borders and edge prune ect.
Last time there finished popped home around the corner for some dinner.
On heading out again went back past and saw another gardener cutting the bushes !! Turns out he was cheaper per hour !! He was there 3 plus hours what would of taken me around an hour.
But I was supposedly in the wrong for not going back because she never asked me first if I wanted the job !!🤔
🙄 sometimes you're better off moving on to other jobs but the old head shake at situations happens all too often unfortunately 😅
Personally, once they are gone, they are gone. In stopping you the obviously don’t value your service so the likelihood is they will do it again in the future.
That said a jobs a job, it all pays the bills.
I think this was more a case of the property got taken over, either was we bashed a few hours out here for a fee...I'm not too picky as long as they pay and don't talk to me out of line😂
Ball park Nathan, What would that little job run the customer or did you go in Free to win them back ? lol
Free🤣 winning back was far from the top of my list, knew they'd need us back tho. I've no idea what it was sorry, was a while ago
I never go back.easy enough to get a replacement regular customer
Good on you👍my problem is I replace them and go back 😬before you know it have too much on🙄
I see that you’ve put some grey tape on the black plastic of the Stihl hla 65, we’re always replacing the black back cover every time we grease it as it’s thin plastic that breakers too easily especially when over tightening the screws. should have been metal but apart from that it’s a good hedge cutter
Definitely needs an ali casing and yea I just tape mine on...too busy to buy new not too tight honest🤔😅
hope you charged more first visit back . ?
Definitely, turned into a nice job 👍👌
ciao fromitaly. is good your machine? you have stihl electric
and lile
Hi, I find the Stihl battery gear great 👍
Why would they possibly need a gardener to up keep a property there trying to sell. Hopefully they'll see sense
I personally think properties with overgrown gardens are better...for the buyer anyway 😂😬
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd I never thought of it like that. Also shout out to Rhod 👋
Same old same people think it looks easy then the novelty where's off **** customer's twats.
😬😅
