      I recently put 20 yards down in one day without a loader - wife and daughter helped with shoveling. The real task is keeping this monster fed with compost. Spreading it is a walk in the park. Next time I'm renting a bobcat. Shoveling was rough.

    Great work, but I'd thinking someone doing professional landscaping would have a better lawn. :0) Especially living that far south, I'd think you'd just throw down some Zoysia or St. Augustine and let it go. Even up in Central Virginia, my Zoysia lawn is easy to maintain and fairly weed free with not a ton of work. I fertilize as any person with a decent lawn does, but besides a pre-emergent each spring and fall, I may spray normal herbicides once or twice during a season, and some GrubEx for keeping grubs (and moles) out of the lawn.

    Nice video...only gripe was you need to normalize your audio. Some parts are extremely loud, and others much quieter. Many days I just skip, but lawn leveling is fun to watch. Shame the home renovation people were such penny pinchers. I do roof and exterior cleaning as a side business and I was hired to wash a house and gutters several years ago, and I just shook my head as I first saw the gutters. The people that renovated the customers house painted the gutters, but they didn't clean the gutters first so the pine nettles were literally painted onto the gutters, and dirt, mold and algae was under the paint making it bubble and flake off. If I was the homeowner, I think I'd have left a really nasty review on the person that did the home inspection for not catching that and pointing it out. Speaking of bad work....you were hired to add some soil and top dress the lawn and you did what you were hired to do and you did it well, but looking at that lawn, what was the point of top dressing a crap lawn like that? A lawn like that wouldn't be worth top dressing alone, and I didn't hear any mention of any lawn renovation, core aeration, over seeding, etc. I feel like I'm missing part of the story - why did they hire you to add soil to a lawn that would have to be totally renovated to be worth anything? OK, I went back and listened to the video again and you said they want to add seed. Wouldn't it be better to put the seed down and then add the compost over the seed for better seed to soil contact? Or were they pinching pennies again and doing a crap job putting down new seed? Also, another businessman to businessman tip - get a professional looking e-mail besides gmail.com. Something like Bob@sgninjas.com would carry so much more weight with potential customers than a gmail account, and it's pretty inexpensive. I think my business email account is about $10/year. No offense, but when I look at a business that drops a card or flyer in my mailbox and they are using a free e-mail account like Gmail, AOL, etc., I usually just pass them over and assume they are new, have little or no professional experience and are not established enough to have a serious e-mail address/business email, and usually pass them over. if you can afford a dump trailer, and I know those things are never cheap and worth their weight in gold, it would be worth the investment. Write if off on your taxes as a business expense. And that Eco Lawn spreader is a great investment too.

    • @vashon100
      @vashon100 10 місяців тому

      I had exactly the same thought about what good that top dressing was doing and what's the grass plan here. "Our job is not to question why" LOL Also the "$700" comes across as a profit for 2hrs work. Lot of investment, cost of dressing, gas, etc divided by two people too.

    • @Troy-Echo
      @Troy-Echo 10 місяців тому +1

      @@vashon100 Well, for 2 hours on site, probably another 60 minutes getting the top soil and travel, that's about 6 man hours for $700. Maybe $100 for the soil? Not sure, I've never put down topsoil to top dress. That spreader is probably $5,000 or more, so you'd need to rent that or do enough work to make it pay off. You're still running at $100 per man hour, and I'm sure the helper didn't get more than $20-$25 per hour, so that's roughly $175 per hour for the company owner. Since he came home after that one job, I'm guessing his schedule isn't that full...so maybe questionable overall. That's a great way to prep a lawn for new seed though. For a quick and dirty new lawn to sell a house, throw down big seed like Ryegrass which germinates really fast, add a layer of topsoil like this for more seed to soil contact, water to keep the top 1/2 to inch moist during germination, and then in 1 week (probably 3-4 days) you'll see the grass sprouting. You'll be mowing the first mow in 2 weeks or so, mowing weekly, and in a month, you'll have a much better looking lawn for maybe $1,000, and it will drastically improve curb appeal for perspective buyers. Not a bad deal for someone if they are flipping or selling a house.

    you are lucky you do not have your business in Oakland CA. I saw a news story that starting April 1st that gas power lawn equipment can not be used anymore. That goes for Commercial people also. So I do not know how the lawn care business would make it cause they would have to get electric power. It applies to weed wackers, blowers, I am guess the mowers.. To me that is crazy to worry about this instead of the homeless population or the murders etc going on in that city. Just count your blessiongs you dont have your business there
