Worst Yard Of 2020 Made Perfect For $75

- Tall grass? Check.
Messy lawn? Check.
Worth an hour of your life? Eh, depends on the kind of day you are having.
- Q: Why are you re-uploading this? You are a greedy scammer!
- A: I have always made two versions of my mowing and pressure washing projects, a quick and real time version. They are very different experiences and folks almost always have a preference, so I make both available.
Q: Why don't you bag the tall grass?
A: No need. Heat, humidity, and bugs break down the clippings into free nitrogen fertilizer over days. Plus, University of Florida recommends doing what I am, so if you have a complaint take it up with them (gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.e...)
Q: What lawn care equipment are you using?
A: See timestamps below. Not mentioned are DJI Spark for drone shots and STIHL BR800 to blow off.
Q: Why don't you stripe lawns?
A: Striping lawns is not a common local practice. Most lawns here are cut too short to stripe, with yards this small or this full of stuff you don't get many chances to, and also because my main goal is to film which means filming in smaller sections rather than long back and forth.
Q: Why do you work by yourself?
A: I mow three days a week. I am mainly a stay at home dad. The amount it would cost to legally hire someone (workers compensation, social security/Medicare taxes, etc) is not worth the extra productivity they would bring.
Q: Is the new Bobcat mower yours?
A: I am currently in the middle of a several month demo from Bobcat. I was not paid to feature the Bobcat mower, am not obligated to say anything about it one way or another, and as this video shows am allowed to put it through absolutely ANYTHING I want to! :D
Q: How much did you charge for this yard?
A: $75, much less than a normal initial service would have been. I really wanted to make a video on it. For one reason to test the Bobcat ZS4000 mower, for another to make some great footage for you, and lastly to make that sweet UA-cam cheddar ( • $30 Mow Made Me $28,81... )
Q: You charged too little!
A: • $30 Mow Made Me $28,81...
Q: Why are you using electric lawn care equipment?
A: I was sent them to test, so they didn't cost me anything. I like saving on fuel, but the biggest reason is because when I film I have to move the camera so much. It is nice to not have a gas engine constantly running, making noise, fumes, and wasting a little bit of money every time I set it down to move the camera.
Q: What was all that stuff in the yard?
A: Mainly kid stuff, lots of abandoned gardening boxes and a fence that looks like it kept the garden separate from the rest of the backyard. Maybe to keep dogs or kids out?

you've posted this video like 5-6 times already.....might have to unsub. Thought the channel was interesting but not if I'm going to keep watching the same video get uploaded
This is the third video on this yard. The first was a quick time version of the initial visit, the second was why I dropped them, this (the third) is a long time version of the initial visit. If you ever have questions, read the description. I spend a lot of time on them to answer questions you may have.
@@CopperCreekCuts Happy Thanksgiving Brad , you big old turkey.
@JJop123 You don’t have to watch. It’s simple.
@@Music_Man1080 that's not the point but okay hoss
@@CopperCreekCuts Could have just said yes
Good thing to watch while the turkey bakes, happy Thanksgiving everyone
Happy thanksgiving
Happy thanksgiving:D
Did you murder the turkey yourself or did you get someone to murder it for you?
@@stendecstretcher4983 Well I guess whoever Winn Dixie got it from killed it lol
... happy late Thanksgiving 😂
This is the single most intelligent youtuber Ive seen. Profit from the yards he cuts, the videos he makes about it and the sponsorships from the products he mentioned. This is just. Amazing
Crazy how your original video was only an HOUR in real time. And knowing that you tackled this lawn in under two hours awes me.
You literally noted down every time stamp... you’ve earned my sub 10000% congrats you’ll become UA-cam famous in absolutely no time
I love the way you split it up into chapters that really helps me out

I used to work for a city parks department and I would always try to nudge gates open/closed with my mower. I enjoyed seeing Brad do the same thing.
You are right about the clippings. It works for my lawn . It fertilizes my lawn just fine and gives my lawn a good healthy green color. Which saves me a lot of 💰. I live in Georgia and I was taught that from my grandfather. He always had good healthy lawns. Some people just think know everything about everything.
How satisfying is this and I bet the grass smells lovely
😂I hate the smell of mowed grass
@@agaaga5424 I love the smell unless it's old, wet grass sitting in a bag lol
Ah, I remember this yard!
;) One of these days Brad, you'll buckle down and grab yourself one of those walk behind trimmers for massively overgrown properties. You can walk-behind trim the whole property, and then go back with a backpack blower and get all the debris out in one go. That way you don't sacrifice your blades on hidden dangers! Would be great on those hot summer days where you really don't want to spend too much time outside of your air conditioned mobile office.
Another great video. Keep up the good work. Sorry for the Karens in the comment section. Even if those clippings lead to thatch, I don't think these clients would care as long as their grass isn't a foot long. I never bag yards that overgrown because it's a waste of time and money as you said.
Ur moms a karen
RE: cutting close to delicate obstacles: lawn shears. They're what I used before my first string trimmer back in the 70s. Fiskars make a nice pair for $12.00
518 views and only 75 likes...JEEZE FOLKS!!! Brad earned every bit of this one!!! I don't blame you a bit for dropping this one Brad. Too much to mow around in the back yard and to be honest, the Bobcat is too big for the yard anyways. It was the correct tool in the shed considering how much horsepower it takes to mow overgrown grass like that one, but now that it is manageable even the local high schooler with a hand mower and equipment and a desire to make a great business could take care of this yard. Nice job Brad and kudos for honoring a contract/promise. Many other contractors would have left that one in the first hour, I figure that one took at least 2.5 not including the time to film it. How many batteries did the Hart trimmer need to pull that one off?. Also is the Sthil edger getting a little bit worn out? It sounds like the bearings in the motor are giving away..
I agree totally Matt. I think his clutch is getting worn. Its a combi unit and the different torque for the various attachments are demanding. I heard the unit roaring and it look like the blade was barely moving. He did a good job!
I very rarely read comments almost never, this is the reason why right here. I don't understand why people are so critical and hateful, it astonishes me to no end. The man is posting video on his own channel I don't care if it's 20 times, if I go to watch it and discover that I've seen it before I just move on and watch another. I'm not going to dictate how he should do his posts or state that I'm going to leave. Just leave!!!!
I was wondering about grass getting into a neighbors yard lol but you answered that question for me! It makes sense that there isn't much you can do about it. Thank you for your videos and the time you put into editing them. I watch these to help when my anxiety hits and it has not failed at all ☺
These videos always relax me I love watching them
Your videos really help me relax and I appreciate it so much 😊
I live in Pennsylvania. I have always mulched my clippings for my yard. Never had any problems. The only time I’ll bag is if I let the first cut go too long and it’s too tall. Keep up the good work!
I hate bagging tall grass
Your channel was randomly recommended to me and for some reason, grass cutting is interesting to me. You have earned a subscriber :)
I thought there was going to be a jaguar out of that bush...
Love your vids dude
Watching u is enjoyable. You do above and beyond at times.
Man that was one overgrown property for sure. Nice video bro, happy Thanksgiving to you and your family
Love the quality of this video man
Good video. Your patience was amazing! I would have been screaming and throwing!
I always go, oh those edges aren't that bad... then i say. oh.... its 6 inches further back than i thought. Lol thanks for the vid and good job mate!
This is a Epic UA-cam channel!
Hear from Mr Jack
Dude I love all your vids they are awesome
Mate you're making me want to pack in the day job and start a career in landscaping, so relaxing. I
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
I watched it all !!! WOW, that looked like exhausting work but it looks awesome !!
It is!
I always have my 'Beast Mode' trimmer on the trailer! LOL!
How long have you been using the Hart weed eater and how many batteries do you go through in a yard?
ANOTHER GREAT JOB, AWESOME cuts, keep up the good work and when you get to HOT just take a water break, I know you wanna get done, but no real need to get cranky 😆😆😆😆 see ya next video and always remember, BE SAFE!!😎✌️🤑
Great video Brad..👍🙏👊💯
The owners are so inconsiderate to leave all their junk in the lawn. They should have moved everything before you came. Especially the stuff hidden in all that tall grass.
Great job!
You truly are a professional!
I remember having to drag 300 feet of power cords. Your tool only help you do your job. Not to be stress free. Well done.
You did not charge enough it is a shame that the homeowner didn’t have a conscience. They should be paying us to look at this, good job on your part.
Came from Jack
If Brad had a $1 for everytime he answered a question in the description, but still had people asking him in the comments he would not need to work anymore.
Nice transformation 💜
You can drive forward and then backwards,that the grass only fly to the owner side,or you can reduce speed of the engine, or you can put site gate on that moler , but i bet you still know this 😝
Your motivation to do this yard was your kind heart.
Happy Thanksgiving from Illinois
Too much work for 75 bucks. At least a 100 if u doing full cleanup
How often do you sharpen/replace the edger blade?
Looks great 👍
Great job 🇬🇧
I absolutely at at thermos! Good thing to habe with your occupation lawn looks awesome
Home owners should pay you triple of what you charge. A lot of grass and weeds
I like seeing the crisp definition with a gap between the cement and grass. In my opinion the edger blade does the best to create the gap initially and then using the string trimmer for weekly maintaining.
Hey Brad, do you have an action figure? You should do you with your truck, trailer and a mower. I would so buy that for myself for Christmas!! (Ok, maybe a few for the kids too... but me first!) Just a merch idea for the future. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving. Loved this video!
In New Zealand 🇳🇿 the home owner picks up every thing on the lawn so you don’t have too do that......😍
Your a beast with that stick edger
I actually do lawncare myself and when we have houses close like that and they complain lower the throttle a little it’ll shoot it lower and closer to u
Having your blower attached to the bed of your truck looks like a great idea. How it working for you? And do you only put it their when you working?
Great Brad!Congratulations!!
I really like that new bobcat . Might look into one next season
I’m in PA. We mulch too! You’re right.
This channel is special
Looks so much better!
Good job 👍🙂
What a goodie!🤗
We get crazy yards in Australia like this
Do you only use the hart for trimming not edging?
...God bless ya', man... schwhew! 😌
Happy Thanksgiving! 🙏
=^..^=
0:00 that urban cammo roof tho :P
Lovely property. You did your good deed!
If it was my yard I would hand pull the grass and leave the ferns. They are decorative and used in places you shouldn’t string trim.
Do you have the ability to lower the deck while you are on it? I noticed you went over the side yard several times
I understand why you dont bag. But wouldn't mulching make the clippings smaller and speed up the biodegrading of them?
Where can I find the edger that you use? Thanks!
You should do a video on what gear you use for your body, meaning pants, boots, belt, shirt, hat, etc. it’s important to protect against the sun and all the debris flying everywhere while being as comfortable as possible. I wondered what your choice of clothing is...
Hey man have you been mowing and the blades just turn off. I have the same mower an I was mowing a yard yesterday and they just turned off and wouldn't come back on I've changed the PTO switch and it didn't change anything.
First of all, intersting video. Thanks for the great content. I absolutely can understand that you later decided not to continue. I also do have some questions. I understand that the University is recommending to let the tall grass lay on the ground and to use it as a fertilizer. But would you do this in your own yard as well? For me it looks messy with all the tall grass and if I would be your customer and would pay for your service, I would like to have a clean result. Besides that I would like to understand why in the states you do not have lawn edges and or stone border around your houses and fences so that there cant grow any grass? Especially due to the fact that most houses are painted in white it always looks ugly with all the green dirt on the walls after cutting it with the lawn trimmer. In Germany we never let grow grass until our house walls. What's the reason behind this? Thanks in advance and all the best!
Still...a herd of goats!! Happy Thanksgiving. From Iowa
Why do you line trim at the end? Why not line trimmer after edging
Hi, what kind of edger is that??
Marathon Watching 5/2/22 Repeater Peter... 😂 Brad!
The backyard almost like a jungle
I always wonder how you keep those batteries charged all day or do you just have multiple batteries?
Happy thanksgiving
Are you around 5'7" ? I'm pondering a stander but I'm 6'4" . . .
Any property’s you mow weekly Brad? And if so, do you edge every mow?
I think the worst yards are probably you left doing nothing like yesterday's video😂😂😂
Omg reminds me of a place i did a long time ago where they didnt say there was holes in the ground so the mowers wheel got stuck on and twisted on the air 😅 twisted my wrist
Happy Thanksgiving, Brad.
My offer still stands, if you're ever in Brevard, hit me up.
Was the whole yard done on one charge?
Was that the only one who thought that was a Minecraft house?
I wish I had that lawn mower.
Do u have any fans that have metal or sharp blades? If yes then stick it to your car or something you can push like lawn mower but I reckon shopping cart or stroller
@@zaf2774 lol
@@Zachpoteet380 what was I thinking XD
@@zaf2774 ua-cam.com/video/9Grqq44cK-o/v-deo.html
I think the edging should of been done first around the house and saves time doing it later on.. and less hassle when mowing along the fence etc
Just watched the video you made on this house a month ago lol!
He said worst house of 2020 lmao
@videogamedom , every now and again he will show a longer version for subscribers like myself who enjoy it . If I remember rightly he turned this job down because there was almost twice as much junk in the garden the next time he went back . Imagine trying to do this type of garden years ago with shears instead of a weed waker .
Man that weed eater sounds like a bad episode of The Three Stooges.
yeah, it's electric though and it's the edger that's why it sounds like that.
You do the edges because the client want it or is part of your service??
Love the vids but im wondering if you can use a Go Pro so that we can see the action from 1st person this is a sugestion not a demand.
Copper Creek Cuts Lawn Care get the ego power load works great you just got to use there trimmer line it works great i use when i mow yards and have no issues at at all i take a extra battery and chager with me and i am off to the races
I never understood .....why do people buy houses and never mow their lawn.....just rent an apartment......no lawn.....people are so lazy..,.should have charged $200 for that jungle. Can't believe cities let these yards get this bad.
I started losing my mind when you started edging that ac unit....
I want to use the string trimmer myself because that blade is just ridiculous
