I dont miss doing that. I fix mowers now, thats all I do. I had a lady talk me into mowing her lawn last summer. I forgot how bad my grass mold allergys can be. When I was done mowing, I was sick for 2 days afterwards. My eyes were swelled and I could hardly breathe. I sold the mower I was using and told her I was done. It wasnt worth my health. I still deal with scraping decks and cleaning old grass under the mowers I repair. I usually wear gloves and a mask now when cleaning the deck . As stated, I do mower and small engine repair more as a hobby. I am disabled retired so I pick and choose what I do. I used to mow with a gas powered Reel mower and did custom designs in peoples grass for a fee back in the 1980's. People paid top dollar for a fancy cut and rolled lawn. No one does that any more. Its just whip through it and done. I started out in the back of a 1982 Mercury Lynx if you can believe it. It was a 5 door. I could take out the back seat, add a partial sheet of plywood and I could haul my lawn equipment in that. I used a push gas mower, a gas trimmer with the engine on the bottom, a blower and if needed a wheel borrow shovels and rakes. I kid you not. I moved up to a pickup with a plow for winter work, the reel mower, a self propelled 2 cycle lawn boy mower, a roller and the rest of it. Then got a trailer, a rider mower and still custom reel mower and roller plus my other. Then the economy took a dumper and I sold off everything. I ended up doing building maintenance after that. Wow, those were the days! Oh, just to clarify things, I worked full time at an automobile parts plant at the same time I was doing all that lawn maintenance stuff. Plus I took college classes three days a week. I still do not know how I did it back then. I know I only slept on days it rained. Yup. Didnt sleep much back then.
Crazy man! When customers of ours switch for whatever reason, most of the time for a cheaper price, we always let them know that they lose their place, we most of the time won’t be able to squeeze them back into our schedule. Literally when they leave for a cheaper price they’re back texting me within 90 days because they’re unhappy, I always raise the price or tell them we’re not interested in taking care of their property. I don’t like taking back clients like that. Love that you didn’t even go into detail about competition or get angry about someone putting their flyers on the door. When you’re busy as you you are the last thing you could care about is a customer leaving for a cheaper price. Keep it up man!
Absolutely you want to stress the competition...just as you guys do, with tremendous attention to details and great service! Place the stress on them in the best way; great service and quality production! You guys are great, don't forget that!
TQ is the BOSS, LOL. I’ve been in the business for 34 years .Lot of rain this spring. My lawns are south of Rochester NY. We won’t work in the rain leaving muddy wheel marks. Your lawns look great.
When your as committed to the lifestyle as you are ....you can't let a bad seed try to demotivate you ...I've had people call up several clients to try to get them to quit me when I quit her !......I learned to peak those fools quickly !
I get a fair bit of flack from some people about my prices. They think that because I'm a kid I should be charging cheap like most others get paid in Maccas or wherever. Once I show them the $18k of equipment I have sitting in front of their house they shut up though lol. Some people try to make me stand around all day talking or doing extra bits too and I make it pretty clear that they aren't in fact my only client and I have plenty of other people who can easily fill their spot if they annoy me. Like you I don't bother wasting time with them because I simply can't afford to worry about what they are doing.
Lol my dad had a customer last year who said the typical story of, "some kids used to do my lawn, and if I would like to do it" LOL For $15 $20 that doesn't even cover gas and normal wear and tear to that place and back lol
Happy Birthday to your mom TQ. An yes i'm a coyboy fan. My mom an dad are in heaven together. I really feel Like you are my sister. Think your really a sweet person. Keep shaune in his place you all be good. Love your videos. I liked the one where you were land scaping the 🌼 flower bed for a customer. I watch everyday i'm really hooked on watching you guys An you have a sweet family. Saw where your son said keep mowen keep growen keep makin money boys. I thought that was so cute. Brenda from okla. But now live in ks.learned a lot from watching yoyr videos. Thank-you. Be safe have a nice day.
Hey Guys, You are Hilarious Arguing over Grass 😂 Me Too, I Don't Mind if the Competition Hangs around my Properties, I Have Confidence in my Work But at the End of the Day If the Customer wants to Let You Go, Their is Nothing you can do About it Anyway, so Don't Sweat it. Thanks for Sharing Guys, Take care 👊🏻🇺🇸
Free enterprise. You're 100% right. Let your work speak for itself. I am a huge fan of door hangers, sheoot If i'm there anyway why not grab more 💰 work? I had a helper do the street while i wrote up the bill. I always did plumbing services, always Cod. I'm sure between all 3 of us we couldn't come close to guessing how many people's neighbors want to use somebody new, better, more consistent on time excetra. I especially like a hanger offering a coupon for 1st time cuts, then one bigger for signing up for the season.
I was taught to mow in what was called a baseball cut. Cross way, then length-way, then diagonal left start, then diagonal right start, then repeat. I mowed twice last week but I'm keeping it a little higher so it mulches better. It's getting so thick I had to slow down but I do mow with an electric mower. I'm retired so I have the time.
So jealous nice green lawns, mowing n sun is out. Although it’s not bad with sun out but here the lawns going dormant already compared last year it was end of May when it turn cold. They reckon Australia has six seasons in a year not four?
Thanksfor the videos I just got into your videos and already watched 20 or so I'm 38 and just getting into lawn care and getting alot of good advice thanks to u and tq
You utilize a string trimmer to edge. Is that to save from buying actual stick edger? The quality of the edge on St Augustine lawns in Florida shows the difference.
just me, but , when im hanging flyers, and I know someone else is mowing a lawn or i see another companies sign in the yard, i dont leave a flyer, just think thats prof courtesy.......
Man Im on my 2nd season of lawn care but I’m not getting any yards. I’ve put out tons of flyers and a facebook page. But nothing. What is the best way to advertise is a small town? Thanks in advance!
Cameron Nalley look for lawns that could need maintenance and ask the owners, from there you can ask them to refer you to their family and friends. you should branch out soo enough.
Always wondered do you tell the customer your there or just get straight to work. I work with the public and sometimes you can’t get away from some people. I could see where the customer could take a lot of your time.
Lol or do like me when there was three companies including us in the neighborhood once when I was doing a yard with my dad, obliterate then in quality. Leaving a yard clean and having customers satisfied leaves you #1 because most of the other companies just want the money and not to actually do the job the right way.
When you were talking about the Competition it looked like you missed edging the small side lol. About the mortgage, try to set up online bill pay. I pay mine on the Mr.Cooper application and it's done in less than a minute. No stamp/no fuel/ and stops extra interest the second it's paid. I hate interest because that's where my 4% robs me blind. I also pay extra so in the end the 4% could actually be 2%.
@@SpencerLawnCare that's good. Just try to set it up with the company itself. Not your bank, 3 to 5 days because the mortgage company gets it and stubs it down. With the company it's instantaneously done.
Great video. That wright lays down a spectacular cut. I wouldn’t worry about that competition being nearby.it’s actually a good thing to have that happen once in a while.it sorts out the customers that are whore bait,lol ! Seriously though,it does show who is really loyal and is interested in paying for quality and value. Keep those videos coming
You guys are great, Steve and TQ. Great work and life partners. Is it difficult to work together and be married and live together? From the videos, you don't seem to think so. That's terrific! And I think the work I've seen that you do in your videos is really good. One question though and you don't have to answer: what does TQ stand for? I'm wondering....Theresa Quinn, Tamara Queen; it's a guessing game. lol Love your videos, your relationship and your work!!
I agree...when you walk away from a job it has your name on it...the 60 seconds it would take to clear the sidewalk cracks will not break you...if you are leaving it like this your just a grass cutting service not a lawn care service
I have the same problem I have a customer that likes to b**** about money he wants me to do it for 25 I'm charging him 35 he told me he was going to go to my other clients to switch two a different gardener I really don't care I told him my customers are loyal not the first time someone try to do something like that he just walked away upset..... that was today.
We had a client and not to say who did or didn't do something but I can almost swear they broke their own siding just to try and get a lower price from us. It's ridiculous what extents some people can go to to try and get their way.
3:22 It would have takin you 30 seconds to whipper snip that little bit of fluff on the footpath man you guys are lazy. No wonder the competition is trying to snag your customer, they think they can do it better an probly think your customer would ditch you for someone that isn't lazy
@@SpencerLawnCare I used to work for a pesticide company in medina co, I remember the company legally only needed one person to carry a license, and then everyone else can work under that license. But the companies also request you to get your pesticide license within a certain time frame, I guess for insurance reasons.

About those guys that puts flyers on your customers doors, the O’Jays sings a song about the back stabbers, so keep mowing forward 👌

What happens to the excess grass on the sidewalk, do you guys blow it back to the lawn or bag them?
Oh yeah go Browns 👍🏻 good video as always!

That's no fun
Nice work guys! Glad you are confident in your abilities. A very happy birthday to your momma, TQ!

Can you touch on the wood you have on the trailer floor? Why you have it their behind the tires
Spencer, I am sure you have answered this before but, at what height do you typically cut your lawns?
3.5 he say in other videos
But them yards still look better than the ones I cut. It rained here this past weekend but that's about it, the land is dry.
Where are the trailer racks at
On my other trailer, haven't had any time
I thin T Q needs her own mower!!
