START to FINISH on MASSIVE LEAF CLEAN UP in REAL TIME
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 січ 2024
- I found this video and realized that it has never been posted, but it's really good, so I wanted to share it with you. If you have been watching my channel for a while, you know that I am no longer selling my service, and all of my projects are now free of charge to the community. However, this project was from when I was still in business. For the people who would like to know a pricing breakdown of what this service cost, I have left a breakdown below. I know that this will help many people who are in business and just trying to figure it out so that they can make a living.
At this time, I billed out my services at $125 an hour, and the dump site visit is included in the hourly price. The total price for the cleanup on these two properties was $500. I used this hourly method for all of my cleanups. The benefits of billing hourly on cleanups are that you are always in a zone of making a profit versus charging by the job, where you could go negative very easily. It's super easy to underestimate how many leaves and how long a leaf cleanup will take you. There are also different expectations from client to client. So, if they know that they are paying for the time that you work, then they will not have unrealistic expectations of cleaning up every leaf. This is very important because while you can get the majority of leaves, there will always be a very small amount that you are not able to clean up without being at that property for several more hours.
I am not telling you to not do a good job. However, many times while cleaning up leaves, they are still falling or they have been rained on, and the very bottom layer has begun to break down and is sticking to the soil. Once you have cleaned up that massive majority of leaves, the small bit that is left stuck in the dirt will dry out and be much easier to clean up on a follow-up visit. Leaf removals should not be done only once a year. It is terrible for your lawn to let the leaves sit on the grass too long, as it will kill the turf. My suggestion is that for your existing lawn care clients, you try to get them on a regular service schedule with no less than a monthly leaf cleanup service through fall and the winter months, but a weekly or biweekly schedule is ideal for both you as the business owner and the homeowner. When you come on a more frequent schedule, this allows you to clean up the leaves before they get too thick and wet to clean up easily. This means you will be at the property for less time but there more often. This will keep you busy and the client's property looking great. This will also give you steady income and avoid a huge bill for the client.
The service in this video was at about 2 weeks right after the heavy drop. That is another thing when it comes to leaves; they come in waves. You will see trees like maples and elms drop sooner in the fall, and trees like oaks will typically have 3 drops: a first drop that is light, a heavy drop, and just when you are completely over leaves and want nothing else to do with them... well, here comes the third drop. This will happen in early spring. I hope all of this information helps whether you are in business or looking to pay for a leaf cleanup. one more thing is that magnolia trees don't drop leaves in the fall, just the the heat of the summer and they are a pain to clean up. learn the trees in your area and what they do during the season and that will immensely help you in your business. I mention this because it will affect your pricing. say a lawn has a magnolia tree, well you need to find out what your customers' expectations are for the stuff that falls if they want it cleaned up all season you will need to figure that into your lawn mowing price. that will be extra time that is consumed in the day and often times in the amount of time that it takes you to clean up those leaves / seed pods you could have mowed another property start to finish.
The last thing I want to say to the business owners out there is that if you choose to charge by the hour, you must not be unethical. This means NO BREAKS WHILE WORKING. You can stop for a second to get water, but you better be doing something while you are drinking it. Remember they are paying for your time, and if they see you taking breaks, they will remember that more than seeing you work for hours. DON'T BE LAZY. Nothing works unless you do, and billing by the hour will piss people off if they don't see that you are an absolute machine.

Somehow UA-cam had unsubscribed me. I'm sorry. Now I've got some serious catching up to do watching videos. Hope everything is well with you and family.
That is a super common comment that I have been seeing.
UA-cam does that to me sometimes.
Absolutely! Doesn't matter which channel or topic. So, very random😎
Same here I was quite distraught 😂😂🤣🤣
Finally, some old school Juggernaut leaf cleanups! Pro tip: Watch this at 2x speed to really maximize your watching efficiency!
This video is a lot better in 2x. I had some comments that they wanted raw speed, so I figured I would put a few out for them
@@LawnCareJuggernaut I honestly had to check it partway through to make sure it was still in 2x because at 2x it sounded like normal speed, until you started talking 😂
@@LawnCareJuggernaut I love that you did that 😊I like the slow speed
I really like your hat. Where is it from?
Having done my own leaf removal every year since 1986, I testify that you have given true, careful and expert advice in your video comments. Excellent. Your description is almost as if you were doing MY leaf removal every year, which is three or four drops over a 6-8 week period.
I have 16 trees on my property of slightly less than an acre. The prevailing westerly wind also brings leaves from my neighbor's two large trees and every Fall looks like this video. I have to blow on days when the wind is from the west or I have to use other means such as the mower or simply raking. I only have to get them to the curb where the township sucks them up on about four or five passes into December. That's fine because I have far too many leaves to have them at the curb for fewer passes.
Because of age I will soon have to pay someone else to do it but it has to be more than one visit. It will have to be four as three won't complete the job. I dread farming the job out because the needs of the employed do not match up with my needs. Namely $$.
But I digress! Excellent and true life video. Just sitting watching it brings to mind every little pain I experience with the satisfaction of enjoying the clean up.
Ya its an expensive service. I always told my clients that they would see me less often but I would be there much longer. It can be a huge undertaking.
Lord have mercy 😳 I have a small yard and can’t keep up! Much respect 🙏❤️
Surprised you dont grind em up w mower first to consolidate volume then blow n cleanup
I have 2 live oaks in the front yard plus a small maple, a dogwood, and another live oak in the side yard, and 2 live oaks in the backyard! I WISH I could blow all of those leaves in 4 hours! I also blow 3 times a year. Mid November, mid December, and late February. At least 5 hours each time and that's only the FRONT YARD! I'm getting too old for this! Great job, Kevin! Try to blow BEFORE the rains come! Too heavy after rain. Takes SO MUCH LONGER!
is there such thing as a dead oak?
@@snotina yeah. We had one of those and had to have it cut down. And when it died? All those dang leaves STAYED ON IT AND RATTLED IN THE WIND ALL WINTER! Creepy!
I totally forgot how unbelievably satisfying the leaf removal videos are! Whoa I love these, lol. I have been watching this channel for years, and am always inspired by the man and by the family. Check them out if you haven't already!!
I wish my husband and I had your equipment and skill....
Energy and strength.....
Age and knowledge......
OH, Nice Job!🥰
Hey brother, this isn't a "boring channel" it's ASMR for Blue Collar. Thank you for all the hard work you do buddy. God bless and protect you.
I'm going to sleep very fast tonight! More than 4 hour is ffing awesome!
Yep same here, I watch these videos because they help me to relax and get to sleep, they are total no brainers and help you to switch your brain OFF! 😂 My personal favourite is this polish carpet cleaning genius LUBUSKIE CLEANING CENTER check him out..
His videos are sexy and really knock you out...god bless🤣👍🏻
Love, love, love you and you your Dad because you are a HERO by helping people in need and really enjoy when you work together . When I first saw your show, I liked how you worked and because I was a farm kid I can relate to what you did and how and then your Dad worked with you and I knew that is why you effortlessly do these tough jobs, you learned the tricks from your Dad!! You guys are great to watch…❤️👍🙏❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I am extremely grateful for your intro! I have had “discussions” with family and friends over leaf removal 😂 I tell them I watch the pros on U-Tube 👍 I just got a professional leaf blower...on Sale 😂 🙏💞
I never ever seen a tree grow over the roof. Wow you’re wonderful humanness
Yeah I could tell that was an oldie. Before pinkys time huh? That was cool takin us for a ride on the back of the mower again. Thats been a while. I got a little dizzy. I enjoyed it all. Thanks Kevin
Hey between you me & Al Bladez, you've both enspired me to do something nice for someone. I am not employed ATM taking some down time well needed. I have been asking my neighbour if I could mow her lawns while she's at work. She's like me head strong & extremely independent & we do everything for ourselves. (We both half own the mower) Ha, I got her though. She's let me clean her concrete driveway and front patio porch with my power washer. Woohoo! Luv to you Kevin & your beautiful family including Cabin on the Hill. ❤ Thanks for the inspiration ❤❤ 🇦🇺
wow just how many trees do they have in their yard...looks like you got all the leaves for the whole neighborhood :O
I think between the 2 jobs in this video it was just 4 or 5 large oak trees
Like everyone else, I am mesmerized by watching you do this and it is so satisfying. My husbands name is Kevin and he just laughs and shakes his head at me because I watch this all the time. Guess what he gave me for Christmas… hint, it has to do with leaves, and it is not a rake😂😂😁😁
I live vicariously through your "Real Time" videos. 🤣🤣🤣
Holy Anchovies, Batman! It's like Christmas all over again. Thanks for posting this!
Hi Kevin! Lots of compliments on your hard work and great advice! So I'll just say Much Thanks and God bless you and your family!🙏👍🍁🍂
OH my gosh! Thank goodness you have a leaf blower and a leaf sucker! Can you even imagine raking all of those leaves? I can't!
Those are some massive yards! Course, I know that's child's play to the acreage you have now. 😅 Fun to see this footage. Brings me back to my childhood neighborhood, granted the yards were smaller where I grew up but the being outside and in the yard brought me right back. Thanks for sharing!
Ya but I have so much room out here that I have been just mowing them in.
Why was this not on my feed? Ran out of things to watch and checked all channels! Found this pearl. Geuss not something to watch at 12.26 at night. Tomorrow ill watch it while working
Watching the leaf blowing in normal or 2x speed looks the same except For
Your walking. But so patient and thorough. Love it.
I normally edit the videos to 4x or 8x. I had a few requests for real time so I figure if that's what they want I will give them 1 then it's back to the way I edit
Ugh! I live in the woods and the trees are beautiful but in the fall! First come the acorns and then come the leaves, and leaves, and leaves! It takes a month or better to clear them because different types of trees drop their leaves at slightly different times. This scene is all too familiar to me! But you made it look beautiful! And don’t get me wrong, I love where I live; the trees are beautiful and it is peaceful and serene but there is always a trade off in life and fallen leaves is mine.
Hi Kevin. Nice leaf clean up. A couple of big yards. You did a good job. Thanks for sharing. God bless you.
I love when you post long vids in real time with just the sounds of the machines❤❤❤
I had 1 1/2 acres and an acre of it were trees. Mostly Maple. I used to blow mine onto a tarp and drag them to the furthest wooded area instead of trying to move a mountain of leaves with the blower. It was just too time consuming and I didn't have much spare time. Great to see you back to making videos.
Awesome man, the world needs more people like him, I don't think I could do all that hard work without getting paid for it.
A lot of lawns.. A lot of leaves. Good job Kevin.
😊🥰 Hello 👋 Kevin
How wonderful to watch another video
I am mesmerised when I watch you in action with all your tools
You have an amazing and vast collection of tools still you work twice as hard if we paid someone to do the same work
I watch from the U.K. 🇬🇧 and can’t get over the vast gardens
In the U.K. we would class your gardens as parks
Generally we have small and manageable gardens to maintain so we can enjoy our gardens
Gardening is very therapeutic and good for mental health too
I do a little at a time and enjoy gardening can’t wait for Spring
A little advise from a much older person to you
Please wear your gloves when picking up the garbage
Wear a mask 😷 when applying strong chemicals and blowing all that dust isn’t good for your lungs
I pray 🙏🏻 all goes well for the arrival of your 2nd baby
My best wishes to you and your family
I really look forward to many more videos
One day many years from now you will look back at your life and thank the Lord and say to yourself
“You know what I did it all by myself”
God bless you always keeping you safe and healthy 🥰🇬🇧
Hi GORGEOUS You have a had long day with the blankets of leafs. I notice that the leafs were still falling when you were gathering them up. Nevertheless I think that you will have a well deserve good night sleep. The lawn looks so good. I hope you rest well. BLESSINGS BE
Am amazed at the appetite of your leaf collector bin. Does the vac mulch up leaves prior to sending them into that void?
While watching your leaf clean up, I happened to look at the sky in your video. There are 2 big x’s up there. Messages from Heaven. God bless you Kevin and your family.❤❤❤
Both of those yards were a big massive pile of leaves and one needs patience for sure , gawlee !! 👍 Good job 🙂
I miss these old school clean ups so much!!
Great advice to future or current business owners. The leaf drop info is very interesting. I had no idea 👍
Here in the TX Panhandle, almost any tree you see has been purchased and planted. The straightline winds are such that any leaves that might fall are in the next county withinan hour. Lol
Hi Kevin, 😉 Was going back 3 months & saw this one!!
Wow that is a lot of leaves & thankfully You had that Leaf Machine to help, but still a lot of raking!!
You have done a Marvelous Job!! 💯 Take Care & a Safe Trip Home to Family!!❤ Have a Wonderful Evening!!❤
Love Barb from Central Illinois❣
The farmers around here would sure love all those leaves. That leaf house is something! Great job as always!
Loves those 70's neighborhoods with chain link and big yards. Awesome job!!
What you need is one of those leaf vacuums. Hate trying to blow leaves while the wind is blowing.
You never like to tackle the easy - always want the challenge. You didn’t give us the story about this job. Maybe I missed it somehow. It doesn’t cost anything to be kind. That’s going to be my new motto. Thanks for emphasizing kindness in your videos. I’m not all the way through the video but I stay til the end. Lol. Always curious what the word of the day is. 🤗
It’s great to see these new old videos that are now coming to light. I think leaf cleanup is my least favorite yard chore.
I have a bunch of them that are going to be rolling out over the next few months
I am very sorry to hear about your mother my prayers are with you all. This will not be an easy journey. Please stay strong an always ask for help when you need it.
Yeahh I love watching the leaf clean ups awesome work.
I don't know why but somehow I lost juggernaut from utube and I was gutted finally back so I've got some catching up to do.
You rock hope the family are well😊
Great video. In addition, I liked what you said about charging by the hour. A tree cutting company came here and was trying to rip off my parents after the 2009 ice storm. SO my dad let them work here but the first time they sat down and was not working, he got out there and told them to get to work. So that company and others like it are not allowed to step foot on our property.
Thanks for taking the time to post another video. I hope you and your family had a great and safe Christmas and New Years.
This takes me back to when my kids were little they would go over in the school yard with boxes & duct tape them together & cover them with the leaves .I think every kid in town showed up to play in the leaf maze my boys made . Then days later we would bag them up in those old pumpkin leaf bags for Halloween decorations , then dump them in the dog kennel . The Beagles would go crazy jumping & diving thru the leaves even the old Beagle acted like she was a pup so cute.
When you laid down in front of the pile of leaves-. Juggernaut, the lawn care model. (I know I’m corny) Really enjoy your videos and what you do. Take care.
I'm watching this a little bit at a time! I want to see the tools you use, and the time it takes in "real time".
Wow!! That was a LOT of work. Great job, as usual. 😊
I have a GIANT tree in my back yard that I planted almost 50 years ago. It drops its leaves over several months during the fall, winter, and into the spring. Blowing and raking the leaves is almost a daily project...but those leaves were very welcome during the summer when the shade makes life outside a lot more bearable.
Per your discussion, above, I know that I will NEVER get the last leaf. And sometimes when I'm raking up a small patch that will fit on a square point shovel, it seems less pointless when I think that at least "I'll never have to rake THESE leaves again." 🙂
I love watching you vacuum. Another great job. I didn't think there was that much to clean up ....but there was.
Great job and worth every penny. Seems like you enjoy doing the free jobs much better now.
@jhn146 Kevin has to be truly businesslike when he has a paying customer. 😂
Thanks for this video. I like that you share your knowledge. I watch or listen as it is calming.
Wowser! It boggles my mind how you were able to wrangle all the leaves on this massive property into tidy, orderly piles! What an enormous feat! You are TRULY THE BEST, Kevin! It’s so nice having you back doing what you do best! Thanks…this was a superb watch!❤
Beautiful job looks awesome. I love your work
Oh darlin’ I love you, but I just don’t have 4HOURS to invest. That would suggest I have no life.😂. That notification to watch it at 2x may be on the right track. Happy, prosperous New Year. You’re a good son!
It looks like a good one to go back and power wash
U as well ✌🏻... And God 🙏🏿Bless you 😊👍🏼👊🏿👊🏻!!!
Absolutely amazing person with such a big heart, I enjoy watching your channels. God bless you and the family always 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
What an awesome job! You’re absolutely amazing!
You have always been excellent at leaf removal when you want to
It's my favorite service. There is always a dramatic change
Double WOW Kevin! Just now able to watch this long video. Still a great job and workmanship. God's Blessings Always to you and your family! 🙏🏻🕊️🙏🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Kev, I wish you many blessings from God for the work you do. It's inspiring to see that there are still kind hearted people like you out there trying to do a good deed for someone. I love watching your videos and it helps me relax a lot. I'm going through some bad times right now and watching this helps me get through them. I wish you all the best to you and your family from the heart. Cheers!
WOW That was a massive leaves that you worked so hard for almost 5 hours! I bet you was so worn out after the hard work to clean up the massive leaves 🍁🍂 but as always AWESOME JOB! 👍🏼😁 Keep up the good work and stay warm and be safe. Tell your Dad I said hi for me! 👋🏼
Depending on where you are at leaf removal season is coming to a close also depending on the type of leaves you have
Great job Kevin wish you had more videos but i catch them when u post them 👍
🎉 YAY YOU!!! 🎉
This was another job done well! ✌️♥️🙏🤜
Thanks for IFO about leaf blowing.
An idea ..you need some of them small bunggy cords that they use on tents to tie that together!! Well you'll have to have gomets..or make them..just an idea..great job!!
Well put it on 2x speed. I think I will just. Run it on my TV this evening. It is putting me back to sleeo!!😊
Wow a massive clean up. 💚 Amazing Transformation 👏 💚🕊
Kevin your skills make this kinda work look very easy. But I know it is just you have experience. 🤭🤣😊
I have to say it again. AMAZING 💚
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO KEVIN NOTHING BORING ABOUT THIS JOB 😊
Hi Kevin I find it very satisfying an amusing watching the great transformation you do on property.s keep up the great work that you do for your community it's nice to see someone with a Hart to helping people in need of help Martin in UK 👍👍
grouse work Kevin mate that,s gotta be one of the biggest world record holders on leaf clean up for sure just watching the video content all the way through for sure and cheers from Australia 🐨🐑🦘🌴🇦🇺 to your area and well yep with a rake alone that would have taken for sure at least a couple of weeks for a yard that size from my view but a good thing you had that backpack leaf blower for sure and yep always handy for jobs like these ones etc.
Kevin, you have explained all that to a tee! You could give some of our garden people, here in UK a run for their money! We recently moved to a lovely area... from urban to to rural .... had an operation after a month being in new home... got a gardener, and ohh, let's just say ... horrible turnout!!! Never again! I'm just getting myself more mobile.... I'm thankful for that ... just to be thankful for the outdoors .... peace, love the outdoors, and love my garden... it's just tranquil and so good for mental health.... you just lose yourself in your garden ❤ you carry on Kevin, do what you do.. because you do good lovely... hats off to you love 🎩👒 big up to our Kevin and family 😊❤
This is amazing!! That leaf blower is great. I think it would take you several days if you had to put the leaves in a bag. You do an amazing job.
awesome video Kevin really liked the rear view camera part too
HOW LONG HAD IT BEEN SINCE THIS LOVELY FAMILY HAD THIS CLEANED UP??? 2 YEARS???? I've NEVER seen soo many leaves! Omgoodness you're a valiant lawn fixer! You are truly!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💯%🎯❤😊Bless you!!!
Great work Kevin❤❤❤ that was a lot of leafs.
You’re a good man. Thanks for helping people out.
I really appreciate that you uploaded this job! Very interesting and I learned many things by reading the comment of your video. Huge respect for those who do this job. Wishing you a great 2024 to you Kevin, and all your family.
Hopefully you will be okay. Praying for that.😊
As usual, a very interesting video with expert information for those wanting to setup their own business. ❤
Happy New Year to you and your father, Kevin. I may not be a Jesus freak, but I salute your good works.
That’s a lot of hard work! Good job!❤
I find it fascinating how you manipulate those leaves with your blower. You are a pro at it! 😄 The lawns looked great when you finished. I love trees, do have to contend with the leaves though. Right now they are sitting on my lawn like you say not to do in your description of video. I’ll mulch them in Kevin. 😄 💚 from Texas
Oh wow! It turned out beautifully!
When I was a teenager I thought I raked a lot of leaves but after seeing this I am like WOW that is an extreme amount of leaves 😮
Can only watch when camera is not in motion, otherwise an excellent video of your hard work and wonderful tips.
Yep was missing You and I hope your family had a great new year
Many blessings from Guam
Hey Kevin somewhere earlier in the video Your Cover to your collection system on the truck look like microwavable popcorn where it bulges up Like a dome.
God bless you for all you do.
