I love that people mow all day then come home and watch other people mow😂
Dudeeee. Thats me😂
Mowing pr0n
That’s facts I do that all the time
Haha exactly🤣 same here
Are you stalking me? Lmao
I’m watching this instead of going out and weed whacking my yard.
Vinegar works better than roundup. Because it doesn't kill the earth.
Does it really work??
That section you showed in the beginning is exactly what 10 percent of my lawn looks like.
I wage a weekly war with the weeds in my yard and this was extremely satisfying to watch XD sincerely, brothers in arms against the weed army
Great video. Where can the shield be purchased? Thank you for the information. 🤔
Cool, now I know how to create more weeds in the beds!
Your welcome! Now you will work forever
would that work on a yard with a lot of pebbles? or do you know a way to pull weeds out on a yard with a lot of pebbles? thank you for any input!
Reese doing the weeds, nice 👍. Jason taking the tool and running it up to a whole new level when I thought he was just gonna show off - priceless. You know just what you are doing with that tool - epic. Big thumbs up! 👍
Haha thanks Peter 👍
@@AmbrosLandscapingInc couple questions for you! I’f you spray weeds will the soil be affected if you want to start planting things in that area? Somebody said that one day and it freaked me out that I wouldn’t be able to plant things in that area afterwards, I want to landscape an area for my parents weve been struggling with a ton of weeds! I was going to tarp the area and starve the plants of water and sun what do you think I should do?! We have a lot of weeds and have been fighting them for years!
And do they sell the edge pro in electric instead of gas and if so where can I buy one?!
@@tanisgeorgetti7317 if you are going to plant vegetable or plants where you would be consuming for food I would recommend an all natural spray such as "Burnout"...or a natural blend of vinigar and dawn soap will work very well also. In my 10 years of spraying weeds we have had no problems with planting plants or shrubs afterwards since we use a lower mixture rate. The only weed control I know that would prevent you from planting anything afterwards were granual weed applications such as Carson. You can purchase the EDGIT PRO on either their website or ebay. Hope this helps!
Well, I disagree. Pulling the weed is getting rid of the weed. Spraying just means they will come back within 2 weeks.
@@blueskies6475 you must not know how spray works...
For perennial beds, I find that using spray is not efficient. Overspray causes damage to flowering plants and trees, and then you have dead weeds hanging around for too long. I have gotten so fast using a Hori Hori knife, it is just as fast to use my knife and dig up all the weeds and then they are GONE right away and no need to go back and clean up the dead and dying weeds. There is no danger to wildlife and no damage to nearby lawn, plants or trees. I learned the hard way using Gly 4 spray. Just using my knife and good old hard work does a beautiful job and no danger to the environment. I have enormous and beautiful flower beds and not just a tiny garden either. I am no youngster, so I'm always looking for easier ways to weed as well. Thanks for a good video. I do love using my weedwhacker upside down to do edging. It works great.
You should leave weeds on the hill or plant some cover plants because otherwise rain water will take bare soil away.
Yes! Either that or some kind of mulch that won't wash away. Never leave bare soil; it looks bad and will always be a problem.
Mulch Lock…Mulch Lock…Mulch Lock.
I am sure he knows and would love to upsell them, but you get wgat you pay for.
Id like to see people doing this on rock beds to see what techniques work best
That does work really well. I had one a couple years ago but I didn’t like the extra weight and could never get used to it.
Ya it does take time to get used to it..I tell anyone I'm training it takes about a month.
@@maggiedahl367 Awesome comment!!!
@@AmbrosLandscapingInc nice job
Î
First video of yours I watch but I just thought I'd chime in on behalf of your apprentice. When you took over, it was quick, but it won't teach him as well. Your explanation of "why" do things a certain way was great because it makes things memorable, but he would learn better by doing than watching.
On a steep hillside like that I'd be inclined to let whatever would grow on it grow there as it would help to control soil erosion. Looks like a good spot to plant kudzu, lol.
I pull weed after it rains, comes up easy and no poison sprays.
Yeah, I water the part where I'm gonna weed for an hour before weeding. You can pretty much just grab them.
You are so correct just yesterday I found that out after using so much chemicals trying to get rid off weeds. After using the weedeater and I ran out of gas I decided to just try and pull out a few of the weeds. To my surprise.... they just pulled right out. Most of them anyways. From now on no more chemicals.
I agree after the rain the ground is soft and easy to get out the weeds 😊
Many seeds require being turned under the soil to start germinating. I control weeds without any digging and minimal soil disruption. I pull any weeds with seed heads and throw them away. Wet the soil first for easier pulling. I use Roundup on the young weeds that are not in vegtable gardens or fruit tree planters. Minimum concentration and spot applications only. As with any poison, the concentrate is the most harmful. When mixing Roundup don't get it on your skin. Spray by hand and close to the ground when there is no or minimal wind.
First-time viewer here. Awesome video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Like & subscribed.
I just sprayed some plants that look like they were intended to be part of the flower bed but have just grown everywhere and look awful. I'm going to wait for them to die and do exactly like you do and weed wack them. You get it done nice and easy, I like it.
This actually the reason why I take of the plastic shield to get under shrubs stuff were it doesn’t fit with the shield
Funny story, I had a shrub cutter (basically just a circ saw blade) on my Stihl weed Wacker and did about 2 acres of tumbleweeds and various other plants with the safety shield on (leaving the stubs) when I finished the field I took a step back and tripped on a stub and tried to throw the Stihl away from me but because of the angle of me turning around to go back to the truck I threw the base away and the spinning blade right up into My right forearm which cut all my tendons off, when people talk about shark attacks and how they just felt a Tug, that's how it felt. I got em all reattached but it was a scary time. doctor even put my tattoo sleeve back together and you almost can't tell it happened 🤣
Yea pack a wAcker for 10 hours a day that shield adds extra weight
@@Bigshoots86
That's a "funny" story?
@@Bigshoots86 That's why, when someone suggests doing away with a safety feature, my inner mom screams "NO!!!!!!!!!
I use the edger to get weeds while im edging the beds. I can usually get the root out with the plant. It doesn't throw grass out of the bed. Looks ok after the green grass dries out...
We use sure guard as a pre emergent in the early spring and it works great! Keeps about 95% of the weeds out the whole season. Its expensive but it saves on so many man hrs and it paid for itself the first day. Its Its highly concentrated, 1 bottle covers 4 acres. When we are in the middle of the season for any places that have never been treated we mix round up with sure guard and all the weeds are gone for the rest of the year. Iron sharps Iron. Keep up the great videos!
The roots are still in the soil and will grow back, right?
The weed killer kill the roots preventing the weed from coming back unless they germinate from seedlings ontop
My neighbor was a landscaper and he was using chemicals for many years. He barely survived a long battle with cancer. Just sayin’.
Its now been proven without a doubt roundup is causing cancer in people who used it commercially, its poison.
I agree...but then again what do we not get cancer from nowadays?
@@AmbrosLandscapingInc yeah but roundup is a guarentee of cancer.
well good point, in the EU chemicals are banned. Which i miss the chems being american but you get used to pulling weeds by hand. ugh
@@AmbrosLandscapingInc really bro? "but then again what do we not get cancer from nowadays?" that is not preaching safe landscaping as a role model.
The kid was doing a better job than the other guy! 🤣
How would that method work on a gravel driveway? I tried a weed tracker with a normal cover and it just through up the gravel
We are looking for something other than (and safer than) using herbicides. May those answers come forward in Godspeed and with much Love. Help. Thanks. Amen.
May you find the perfect solution for your situation.
The human race has to stop using roundup
Why
@@diggadee7889 it kills people
And Digga dee never did find out the , "Why".
@@abigalerichard3679 🤣
@@abigalerichard3679 haha!!
You're leaving the roots, which makes the roots stronger and if you have a lot of weeds that can be severely bad. Those roots will get bigger and stronger and deeper. I know I've seen it.
The contractor is deliberately leaving the roots intact, ensuring that the weeds will regrow and require ongoing maintenance services. If the property manager were acting in the best interest of the company, they would improve their weed mitigation practices to address this issue effectively.
Thank for the info on the edgit pro. That will save my wifes flowers and make it so much easier to clean my landscaping.
Can you make a video on how to charge commercial properties like that.
What spray do you recommend for weeds? I used to use round up but i hear thats really bad for your health
Never seen this worrh looking into!! After work looked great
I put cardboard down and then threw the mulch on top. I haven't had weeds for the last two summers
Do you spray trim the weeds then place the cardboard down?
@@Jbb435 no I just put the cardboard down and wet it before putting the mulch down. Any under the cardboard will die
What about weeds in a lawn where you want to keep the grass? Do you have to take them out by hand in that case?
@@azher6074 I spray the weeds in lawn.
SC Challenger Ah I see, thanks
What is the attachment on the weeder? I think he said it, but I could not follow.
It's called the "Edgit Pro"
Great video my beautiful brother, you can tell you have a little one at home too by how you pronounce (jokingly) some of your words, it's adorable 😊
Paddy Pimblett running the weed whaka yo😂
How about near gutters or rendered walls where the walls crack if you trim there? Hard to reach places? Some hand cutters or scissors??? Love this video by the way!
That’s an amazing Weedwhacker. That’s nothing like what I have
I wonder how this type of weeding would help with bindweed which is about as aggressive as any weed can be.
Finally somebody using a machine for what it intended to do LOL Hence the name weed eater. Love the vid . ty for sharing
Glad your back to uploading regularly you have the best viedos
Thanks man really appreciate the support 👍
I totally agree with you Bakers Lawn Care
Question.. (Ignoring the fact it will just grow right back up) If you were to do that without Killing the Weeds DEAD will many common Weeds get spread by the chopped up Weeds basically acting as Weed Seeds ??
I feel like what you’re asking is exactly what happened to my lawn. I have a lot more weeds now. Beware if you do this technique.
@@justinb1382 Nothing wrong with learning from experience in my opinion.. I'm no lawn expert, but that's my same thinking/reasoning with using a bagger especially in area's with Weeds...
Also if my understanding is correct a lot of weeds sprout there seeds towards the tip probably at a length longer than the average lawn.. So keeping your lawn Cut and not letting it exceed what ever the optimal height is for the grass type to much can help prevent the spread of a lot of Weed's ??
I put ?? because i encourage any input whether it be I'm partially correct or even dead wrong.. lol
I know it Definitely doesn't apply to all Weeds because last year I got a load of supposed Screened Loam ?(whatever the best stuff the place had) and instead I got a truck load of Crap Dirt with some Huge Long Weed's mixed in, I thought I successfully removed them from the Dirt before spreading it all over my lawn but I ended up with these New Nasty Weed's that when you try to fully remove them you discover a network of Roots connecting them underground !! So i'm guessing these Invasive Weeds & other's spread underground & not by shedding seeds ?? Anyone ??
Ok that looks amazing! So the blade isn’t turning? just the string?
Literally watched for your "trick" because I want to never again poison the water we drink and the soil I grow my food in.
Well you tricked me this time!
The title doesn't say anything about not spraying so no I didn't trick you at all, you just don't agree with my method.
@@AmbrosLandscapingInc duh
@@karrielangston4005 thanks for the comment and view Karen
@@AmbrosLandscapingInc
It's not a trick. Everyone who uses poison does that!

Thanks brotha appreciate the support 👊
Brilliant mate, I need one for myself I have to use a spade and it so tiring 😂😂😂
why. i use my trimmer
@@valleygirl670 Trimmer doesn't do it from the root though does it.
Can weed eaters completely remove patches of grass/weed that have grown on the side of my yard
Thanks for the great video! Educational,informative and some humor. You just saved me a lot of time and back breaking work. Thanks bro!
Yeah, no debreese problem.
When I used my edger along a gravel driveway, I set up a sawhorse and a sheet of plywood to stop the small stones I had slinging off.
Not enough momentum to ricochet if you angle the plywood.
Looks weird for thirty minutes and after cleanup, you use a rake to put the gravel back.
Best yard around there.
The new people ruined it.
When you kill the roots you also kill the important microhorrzia soil around them
true, but let the weeds thrive in other soil lol
@@valleygirl670 Norman Schwarzkopf
What kind of chemicals do you use on the weeds when you spray and how do I keep myself safe from those chemicals ?
You may or may not manage to keep yourself safe from those chemicals. But they sure do a number on all that crucially important life beneath the soil. May you find the better ways to weed manage. Blessings.
All the ladies out there are asking me why you aren't wearing a face shield to protect that handsome face of yours. I'm telling them that real men don't wear face shields. Cheers from the Land Down Under where face shields are definitely an optional extra :)
So, what was the herbicide? Or, doesn't it matter to you?
You showed wees the pace that the boss does it...LOL
No deductible on insurance? Wow, then how much a month is your premium?
So this doesn't just spread their spores/seeds around and make it worse?
If you spray before they go to seed and when they first start to grow you won't have any issues. We add a preemergent that acts as a barrier for more weeds coming up and help with spraying less.
Will that blade work on a brick sidewalk ?
I just had same exact type hole just happened lik a crazy sniper shot was nutts went thru screen and glass lik a bullet happened cus I had one string on trimmer full rpm on Stihl.. 33 cc multi tool great video .. I didn't think it was me either but lady totally witness Ed it
? What type of string head, are you using ? Is it some newer design, from Stihl ? I have an FS 40 whacker, Stihl. With several types of string heads......never seen a disklike, type, like this one before ? ( i also made a saw, using skill saw blade, on a cutoff 9/16 socket; welded blade to it and screws onto trimmer drive nut. Works great. (use about a 30 tooth blade) Use the right hand side guard, as saw guide, so the blade turning, is pulling AWAY from you )

Great mate... from Aussie land. Learnt a lot.👍
Well who would have thought when you go from 1 video a month to 3 you get more views. Keep it up people like to live vicariously.
Haha 😂 who knew
Can you get that head attachment for a craftsman weed eater?? Or is it a completely different design from a normal weed eater I can’t tell. This would do great in my flowerbeds where my mulch won’t go all over the place!!! Thanks. Let me know. Great video.
Which insurance do you have?
Can you do a video on the right way to trim weeds in a front yard? I feel like I am doing it all wrong (just moved into a rental home about a month ago). The first time I did it I mowed the lawn first then took the whacker and went to wherever I saw weeds sticking up. They seem to grow back just as tall in a day or two. I thought about going left to right over entire yard but it seemed like it would take forever and weeds are not everywhere. If you could do a video showing the way that you do it would appreciate. Thanks! :)
You have to get to the roots .. 2 choices .. either hands and knees and dig for them or... use the spray to kill them for you
Will the weed whacker work good for bigger & higher weeds?
Looks good.
How do I trim weed in a rocky ground , between rocks ... ?
What about the roots ? don’t they regrow again ? just wondering
That is why we sprayed first to kill the roots and wait until the weeds are dead. There are some weeds that spread seeds from their flowers but you want to spray them before they bloom or go to seed and add a preemergant to prevent more from growing in the future
Great content Louisville Kentucky watching keep videos coming sir
I moved into my house six years ago. The yard had thick healthy grass, not a weed anywhere. There is a bad hill out front; I see it slipping away every year. Now there is no top soil, no favorable grass; just weeds that seem to have a growing season; when one flavor dies away, another takes its place. I, too, have developed a weed trimming style: I start at the curb at the street sweeping upward, but I have to leave something there to try to hold some of the dead dirt in place. I found on UA-cam a couple years back, to lay down a certain bark or compost after reviving the soil and planting a ground cover (or something); and that no rain/water will wash it away...........Any ideas??
Curiosity question only: On the round guard plate to this trimmer shown in this video, is is something that came with it or something modified to fit on it? Is it a Husqvarna accessory or something? I can't seem to locate such at their site and was also wondering it it adapts to other models of the Husqvarna battery-powered line trimmers? Thanks for any into on it.
It was designed by a separate company called "EDGIT PRO"...They used to only make them for Echo and Stihl trimmers back in the day but have included other brands such as Husqvarna...I don't know if they will work on battery powered trimmers though. Edgitpro.com is their website
I never use herbicides in my garden. It's not natural and bad for the ecosystem. I pull the weeds in my flowerbeds or dig out the ones with tap roots and mow my lawn regularly. That's my take on it anyway.
The easiest way to get rid of weeds its by a good eight inches of mulch but first get rid of the big weeds and you wouldn't have to worry about it for a long time and if any grows back just pull it out as soon you see it stay on it and in a long run you save time and money
True but the biggest issue to getting your client to pay for the 8 inches 😅
@@AmbrosLandscapingInc Yes its true some clients can't afford it and even if they have the money they need to really trust you
I did landscaping for twelve years and I figured out that its not a good business I live in the North West and its only like nine months of work and if they need to cut theirs bill the first thing they cut out its the gardener services so it sucks
8 inches would cover most of my plants lol
Was hoping I’d hear how without harmful sprays.
You are wrong about the glass pattern. It can make a small hole. I've done it a couple of times. Caught on my go pro. It's good you didn't argue because you are wrong about sliding door panels and the safety glass they are made from. They can fall apart in small square chunks or remain nearly intact with a small bb shot type hole
what did you use to kill the weeds? I want to kill weeds in an area that I have no intention of ever growing anything, just want a clean look
I stopped offering weeding because there's no money in it.
I will if there's a big mulch job but weeding only I dropped.
Incredible! you did the same thing my Juan did for next to nothing
Why do companies allow their gardens to die like this?
Look at all the BROWN!
If I owned a company I would spend money on filling those holes with new plants even if it had to come from my own pocket.
Your business should be like another home to you IMO.
You must be in Sequim. I recognize the parking lot.
The guard you have on your weed wackier is one I have been looking for. Would you be willing to give me a the information where I can get one? Thank you!!
Yes...it's called the "Edgit Pro" and can buy it off their website or on ebay
Do the weeds come back quickly since the roots remain?
That is why you spray them first since the weed killer kills the roots of the plant
5/27/24 What about removing overgrowth of weeds in a rock bed?
Thanks. Great advice.
What product did you use to spray on the weeds? I have areas that are extremely heavily weeded but there are trees and bushes nearby. What do you recommend to spray first? I'm an older female and prefer to do the work myself so any tips are greatly appreciated!!
Thank You!!
Round up If u don't have pets
@@elisutton5038 problem is that neighbouring cats will go on it and the incidents of cancer in cats has gone through the roof. I'm sure its caused by glyphosate.

Not only that but by buying their product you're supporting Monsanto and that's one company you do not want to be supporting.
hey buddy you gonna put free mulch, because all the mulch disappeared with the weedwacker
Where did it disappear to exactly?
Second window in fifteen years tho just got. Rekless in heat love the Stihl multitool
So this popped up on my YT rec's list and I thought "Dang! That sure looks like the Costco where I live!" Turns out, it is. I've never broken any glass with a weed eater, but I have with my riding mower when I had the deck too low and drove up on the gravel pad. It broke a window in my car AND the front of my house. Now I move the cars before I mow and pay more attention to where the chute is pointed.
1:13 if. IF , you don't do it right.
However if you do it right they never come back.
But it is somewhat hard work, depending on your health
What about in rocks? I’ve pulled several times and sprayed.
We can only do it were their is no mulch right?
Those weeds will grow right back. Also, 2 cycle weed eaters are meant to run at full throttle. Partial throttle is bad for them. It causes carbon build up.
Thanks for that tip! I didn’t know that.
Sounds like it's stariving
Depends upon the load. I don't run anything except blowers wide open, and my engines last me a very long time. Before shutting down, free rev it wide open for about 5 seconds to clean it out and it will start easier.
That depends on the engine. Homeowner engines are lower compression and not the same as a commercial engine. Most homeowner engines are single ring piston, aluminum cylinder wall and lower compression leading to exhaust slobber. Commercial engines have two ring piston, chrome cylinder wall, and higher compression, also a better air filter. Used exactly the same the commercial unit will last much longer, provide more power and not slobber at lower speeds. You really get what you pay for. Sorry, but lowes and homer depot don't sell commercial units, you must visit a commercial store.

wow cool gadget ..i do the landscaping for a ford dealership in hawaii and man is it nerve wracking to use the weedeater next to row upon row of brand new vehicles!
O man I couldn't image! That would suck
Dont worry I used to work as an auto detailer/lot attendant at many dealerships. They have us just pressure wash and shammy off the vehicles anytime they look dirty. Some weed debris on it wont be a problem. Now rock chips is a different story. But still fixable in house relatively easy.
what would you suggest for grass poofs on a rock mountain/backyard? I have to cut them down all the time for brush clearance. They just grow back. Help!!
