Lee, I love the way you mulch and put goodness back into the EARTH, most do not understand this practice.
Thank you Veronica 😊
Nothing makes you question your career choice more than when you are sat in the van on a cold wet day eating some junk food you have just bought in the garage down the road and realising the water proofs you are wearing are ….. well , perhaps not quite as water proof as they are meant to be .
I would make this vid compulsory viewing for any young person wanting to come into this business .
Cos this is how it often is .
Well done Lee for being so honest
Oh well said my mate 😄...I truly love my job but I can honestly say days like this make me have a hard think 🤔....I don't mind working in the rain....its when as you say the waterproofs don't work and I'm wet and cold 🤬🤬🤬
Facts
Lee, this diamond is already shining. You've had a tough time, but the tremendous effort you've made is already showing. You are appreciated. 👍
😍😍
God, you’ve got a tough one here, Lee. I’m amazed that you are able to maintain any enthusiasm!!! My thumbs up 👍 are purely for you!!! Take care 👍👍👍
😊😊🙏😊😊
These sort of jobs are for many of us our bread and butter. I know exactly how you feel Lee - like there's no end in sight! But perseverance, willpower and good old hard graft gets the job done... and seeing awkward jobs like this through to the end is the mark of a dedicated professional. Good job mucker.
Nice one mate....yeah always feel good when it's done 🤘
I drove 3.5 hours up to Liverpool yesterday for a 5 minute pickup of an item purchased on Ebay. As a big follower of yours, I kept looking out for your van, so that I could jump out and shake your hand for all your hard work and the videos you put out, but wasn't fortunate enough. Keep up the great work, you are an inspiration to all us gardeners who look at the maintenance of their gardens and think- too much.
Wow thanks buddy....you should have dropped me a message and maybe grabbed a ☕..Next time 👊
Lee, this has been a mammoth, hard job and I know you're not happy with it, but the back garden looks so much better for your hard work. Miracle worker comes to mind. Please get yourself some proper waterproof work wear or you will be seriously ill soon! Could be a vlog on its' own, choosing the right stuff. As for the van- Sunday morning, think of it as beautifying your workspace. We don't get to see the inside of your van much, I would love to see how you organise all your equipment. Cheer up - we're all on your side!
Thank you 😊😊...have you watched this one?

I hadn't seen it before, but absolutely fascinating. You are so skilled and talented Lee. This was like seeing Hermione Grangers bag on Harry Potter. Is the van still like this?
😅😅yes but not as tidy 🙈
We have all had them jobs over the years mate. Now the good news the good jobs outweigh them 😀
Yes mate....not ALL plain sailing but just get it done and move on...next one may be a bonus 😉
That was a lot of work ! 😲 Great Job ! 👍🏽👍🏽💗🏋🏽♂️🏋🏽♂️🔥
😊😊👍🏻💪
A hard job but I know you will make it better. Thank you for taking us along.
Thanks Dyana you are welcome 😊
You did one Hell of a JOB Looks Nice!!!
🙏👍🏻🙏
Looks like a very difficult job. Enjoyed video. Thanks
😊😊👌🤘
Another truly fantastic job here Lee. I’m starting a garden maintenance business down south but just have no idea how to cost up a job. It would be super interesting if you were to do a video explaining how you cost up your jobs and what are the ‘red flags’ that you look for that will drive the time needed (and therefore the cost) up!
Just a suggestion!
Keep up the good work buddy.
👌👌
Really enjoy your work Lee. We have sold our house on third acre block. My garden has been my life and yesterday I finished getting it ready for the new owners. My husband thinks I am crazy as it is immaculate not a weed or leaf to pick up. I will miss my garden as have downsized but will get my garden “ fix” from you Lee. Great job xx
Thank you Vivien 😊 you can always have pots...and wall troughs and window box's 😉
Poor Lee. You sound like you're stretching yourself too thin. You always do amazing work on the gardens you maintain. I know you will have this one showroom beautiful in no time. Don't forget that you need rest, relaxation and fun in your life though!! You deserve it. Take care!
Thanks buddy...all under control 🙏🙏
You crack me up every time.
😊😊😊
FairPlay for your honesty lee I did exactly the same few weeks ago with some extremely dry leylandii the chipper must of clogged up twenty times well undercharged the job was at it until dark another cracking video all the best new estate looks mega 👍
Cheers David...yep..we can't win them All 🤷♂️
We would really, really love to have you work on our lawn her in the USA (NewJersey). It's been a nightmare and still it looks terrible. You are a true professional. Love your videos.
Thank you Joseph 🙏😊
Brilliant work as all ways.
Thank you paddy 😊
Good job. Hard job. But you never give up
Get there in the end 😛
I appreciate your honesty and your humor. It sounds like you have two passions. Your work; it will get done even if it doesn't make sense. Coffee; supersedes everything. Lol. Love you sir.
😁😁thank you Diane 😛
watching some of the old videos 👍 same weather in Liverpool today...
😄.. as ever ☔️☔️☔️
@@LHLgardenservices 😂😅👍🙂
Bloody hard graft that one lee.
It was a headache mate 🙃
m8 i dont think homeowners realize how proper you're doing these jobs. bless up! oh jah!
Very kind 🙏
I'm glad you know your stuff Lee xx
🤘😊
Lee I’m a gardener started on my own last year watched a lot of your videos got a lot of tips of you. Thanks keep up the good work
Cheers pal..Good luck with it 👊
Good job, and real hard work, one of those jobs you wished you'd priced by the hour!!
😊 thank you Diana
OMG you deserve a medal🥇 I would be in tears facing those borders hence the reason I say “ Nope sorry I don’t do border control” 😎👍🏼🏴
Must admit ..it was harder than I was thinking 🙈
Same here. 30yrs in and I'm still cocking up the time and price of jobs. Your mistakes get less and less but, you still make mistakes. All part and parcel of gardening. Just done one job and it looked fairly simple/easy. The bush was old and all intertwined with ivy and other climbing plants. So I couldn't get branches out to shred. It was also about 8ft deep and 15ft high. Just a nightmare. The customer was great and realised I'd undercut myself and asked me if I wanted to increase my price. I said no but I'd wished I'd said yes. Did get a dinner out of her though, and that was nice.
Sorry to hear that my mate but also glad to know I'm not the only one 🙈...its another one done and ticked off...on to the next one with head held high 👊
3 words: Root Slayer Shovel. Amazing tool! I have both the XL and the Nomad.
🙂🙂
Looked that up on Amazon, thank you for the tip Ann x
oooo hard job. One we kno you'll be glad when done. Yes! 👋❤
Absolutely Nina....🍺🛏

Hi Lee you do make me laugh you have such a great sense of humour what a grafter you are, do you ever get fed up of the amount of work you have or just happy to be busy just a thought...
You get through some work.....Excellent video...
Cheers mate 😁😁...to be honest .over the years ( and plenty of them) I've at times been short of work and which in turn means short of money....I said " I never want to be like this again" 🥺
Great job!👏🏻👏🏻 You are a hard worker my friend. Sending much respect and appreciation 🤩✊🙏
😊🙏😊🤘🤘
Hi lee that was a nice 👍 job for what the state the borders were in I’m shore the job your doing will be awesome keep up with the great 👍 work I know how you work it will be great David have a great day David ❤️🙏🇬🇧👍🪴
Cheers pal 😊👍🏻👍🏻
Pricing jobs is a nightmare. How you continue to work after getting soaked I don’t know I’m straight of home and in the bath. Excellent job Lee keep smiling
Cheers Adrian 👍🏻...I just think....if I don't do it it ain't gonna do itself 🙂
Oh my Lee you can tell by your voice , expression and body language youve had enough. That bed was rock solid with roots and was a definite work out. No wonder you felt pigged iff with it. Maybe some of the laurel could be utilised in the back if he's keeping the borders so there's some evergreen foliage where its empty. I bet you slept those nights. 🤨😒😫
Don't think he likes the laurels 🤘and to be honest it would have been better to leave some herbaceous plants in...buy hey he's the boss 🥺
Some job you have there mate - grew arms and legs ! Fantastic result as always though 💪🏽🌱
Thanks buddy 👍🏻😉
Thanks for keeping it real
Do my best 😛
Feel your pain mate, some jobs are just soul destroying!!!
I was glad it was over 😉
Showing great fortitude!
😊😊🙏
Between this garden and the hidden orchard, you've definitely got your work cut out 😂 you've done a brilliant job though Lee 💯💥
Yes buddy...I think one of the objectives in business is to be busy...I've achieved that 😅
Hi Lee, 3 years ago I brought a 3 layer gore tex pro jacket, got fed up of getting wet all the time with supposedly water proof jackets, quite expensive but always keeps me dry. Great vids mate 👍
Nice one Joe...got more details on the jacket 🤔
Ex army goretex jackets and trousers are sold off very cheap compared to named brands as long as you don't the camouflage pattern
Great work Lee, I think every gardener hates having to do a hard cutback on Pyracantha . Plenty more work to do, hope the weather improves. 👍.
Cheers mate ...yeah I love it when it's GROWING...but removing....well..
How many hours do you have in your day, you achieve so much, a real power house work mentality, wish I had your energy. Xx Amazing work xx
😊😊💪💪💪🙏
Great job Lee Another handy one
Cheers mate...its a start 💪💪
Bless your heart. That turned into a pile of monkey crap quick. The best thing about your day was the coffee.😥😤
😅😅😅☕👌
Safety glasses are no use sitting on top of your head! Love the videos keep them coming.
They steamed up whilst wearing them so....I beg to differ 🤷♂️
Why do people who do not like plants buy a property with a relatively large garden? Made my heart bleed seeing all those plants being ripped out. A loss to wildlife as well. Lee, you are a too conscientious and caring gardener with this plot. I hope the owner will appreciate your efforts with the lawn.
Don't worry I will be planting it back up 👌👌
You really had your work cut out for you on this one. Nicely done 👊
🙏🤘🤘
Hi, Lee! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
👋👍🏻
Hi Lee I had a piracanta long hedge about 30 meters long and 8 foot high a customer wanted out and I also well underestimated what a pig of a job it was to do nearly a whole day later had it all down and mulched it and it does go everywhere it was scary but cracking job mate keep it up and try to stay dry where you can looked like you were close to getting trench foot haha
😅😅cheers
Savage going
👌
Don’t you worry about the state of your van Lee, mines like that ALL the time and I say the exact same thing to myself as you do🙈😂
😅😅😅...the van is a few years old now but it was brand new when I bought it and swore I'd keep it prisine....that lasted about 2 weeks 😅😅...I do like it tidy and feel better when I do it ....but....but....one day 😛
You need a EN 343 level rain protection coat
🤘👍🏻
Nice one mate some good work completed. Pot those Laurels up on the front you were taking out, sell them on maybe? £20/£30 per pot possibly.
👌👌😉
Good luck with that crocosmia . Most jobs I’m on -I’m getting rid of . Must of binned a skip full over last year or so .corms all rolling off like pebbles in the soil . Drove past a skip other day n that was half full of it . Nice plant but not worth it . Try portwest sealtex waterproofs . Those your wearing look as thin as tissue . All the best
😄I do like cricosmia tho ....yeah they are thin ..but they are Peter storm and "supposed " to be waterproof 🙄
I know some jobs have got to feel like you're pushing sh*t uphill, but then, that's the game, isn't it? Other jobs can literally be a walk in the park yet in the final analysis, you're doing what you want to do and the tough jobs make the nice ones so much sweeter. You set a very high standard, so it's no wonder you find it occasionally taxing to reach it. Onya Scouser.🍃
Well said Tris 😁 yes its the bigger picture that matters and as I said you can't win them all but if you do then you are very very lucky 😉
Hi Lee, no way you could've gotten a mini excavator in the back yard?
Yes....but no way am I paying for one 🤣
Tuff work there and rain to
👍🙏👊
Gotta give it to you for persistence Lee. I would have gone home for a hot shower and bed.
Oh trust me...I felt like 😁😁
@@LHLgardenservices 🐨🤣

This week has not been kind to those of us that work outdoors. That lawn doesn't look as bad as mine but with a little dog that loves to lick grass I can't put any chemicals on it!!! Well done for getting stuck in in the rain. Do you ever 'move' plants from one customers garden to another? Just thinking that the Laurel looks quite nice and would make a nice hedge.
Yes rain rain rain.....er ..move plants 🪴 from one customer to another....ME!...NOT ME!....I wasn't even there 🤫
@@LHLgardenservices It's just recycling, no problem, saves waste.

Great vid Lee! Quick question, when you re cut a edge with the strimer do you use normal strimer line or do you use a blade?
Just the wire 👍🏻
🙌🙌🙌🙌
😁😁🤘
U grub absolute grub..... get onto autoshine the car leaning mobsto do a tidy up wash wax n interior clean..... BTW good job of the yard..... it's taxing but fulfilling onceitsall done
Yes good point ..I do say each to their own....so a car valet is what is needed 👌👌
@@LHLgardenservices lol absolutely mind u my 4 wheeled transporter is quiet the grub atm it will get cleaned out when I get round to it......
great job how much would you charge for that job, please how long did it take you.
Hi Lee, do you sharpen your chipper blades yourself have or get them reground at an engineering place, I've not long got a big chipper and trying to work out the best way to go, all best Will
My blades are reversible so I've not sharpened them yet but when I do I'll get them done professionally 👍🏻
@@LHLgardenservices Thanks Lee, mine are only one sided, as they are a special tool steel will cost about £100.00 to get done, I've had to account for this in my pricing cheers Will 👍
@@willstonvelo8100 absolutely mate ..This is one of MANY HIDDEN costs 🥺
@@LHLgardenservices ,too true been finding quoting for garden work is as hard as the work itself, I think though over a year it evens out some more some less Will🍻
Yes pal you will be fine...we win some we lose some but we live to fight another day...look at the bigger picture 🤘
Pricing..Always Start high and then you can come down A bit, Not A lot until they like it LOL
...I seem to start low and get lower 😅😅
Careful you get the right size when you order the rope 😂😂😂

Why get rid of the laurels? I’ll buy them if you still have them 🤷♂️
"Why get rid of the laurels"?? ..because the customer says so
@@LHLgardenservices I need some for a hedge and not far from you if you 🥸
Oh dear... Lee you have got to learn to say "No" especially to jobs that stress you sooo much!!! didnt help with the rain, you really must find a good quality set of waterproofs, dread to think how much you have spent on waterproofs to date..... Chin up
😁😁you may have a point there....yes the waterproofs are a pain...as you know gore tex is the best but I've had gore rex and it still didn't work so I'm very reluctant to spend £££ and it not work...so my theory at the mo is spend cheap and it not work 😅😅 instead of £££ and STILL not work 🙈
@@LHLgardenservices Ummm, been thinking hope you dont mind me asking, but.. regarding waterproof clothing, have you ever asked anyone who works with water? ie Fisherman on a trauler, or Mountain Rescue or RNLI? just a thought as they may be able to advise on what they use/wear to keep dry? then... you could contact that supplier to see if they would like to sponser you with a set of waterproofs to share on youtube???? just a thought.... Have a nice weekend
@@lisapointer4350 that's a great idea asking those people 👌..as for sponsorship...I've exhausted myself asking various manufacturers to send me some for reviews...no joy..guess I smell a rat 🐀

Why did you have to stop watching 🤔
