I didn't throw grass in your pool (it's always the lawn care guy fault)

I’m starting my lawn care business next spring, with only a push mower, an edger and a string trimmer. I have learned a lot from your videos. What to do when a customer has a pool hadn’t crossed my mind. I’m in the Midwest where we have 4 month winters, most people have above ground pools if they have pools at all here.
Best of luck!
Honestly after 4 yrs or expirience, and a zero turn of my own, ditch the edger, and get a blower. Cuz I edge real nice with a weed eater
We’re loving our husqvarna battery equipment for our business! Tried other brands and they all failed us but not husqvarna. Just ordered the pole saw!
Awesome!
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare is the electric stuff better than gas I have all husqvarna gas stuff
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare hi my name is Chris I like your video and you are so cool 😎
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare Heyy I love your videos
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare where are you located and do you do Mcminnville wrf or osp?
Yes I love what you said, "I don't work for free guys." Just because it needs to be done doesn't mean you should be obligated to do it. You gotta get paid for all the extra work around the yard. Great work man 👍
Absolutely!!
Yeah, typical "attempt" by customers to not pay for something, but they hope the guy will do it anyway.
Facts!
i been watching u for a while im on the same page. Dont work for free.an only do what im payed for...
I've always encountered customers trying to get free work from me and the other landscapers. It's usually the Indians that try that.
I hate mowing yards with pools. Nothing but headaches.
The beauty of owning your own business!! Simply don’t do them! 🤣🤣🤣 your decision!!
Lol I'm a pool guy. I know how this goes haha.
I hate doing it period
I respect the fact that you take the time to really do the job right, instead of shaving a few moments here and there to squeeze in just 1 more yard that day.
That type of quality shows when you are finished.
Why am I taking a break from my lawn business and watching your lawn business lol
😂
I thought I was the only one 😂😂 I am in lunch break tho
haha I'm strimming & edging my yard, taking a break, drinking a coffee, watching this! 🌍👍
I like these start to finish on the job go pro videos with narration.. Very helpful, keeps it real and makes me feel better about some of the tedious things I have to do in customers lawns. Thanks Johnny!
Glad to hear it!
Hey man I have been watching your videos lately and I'm 17 and let me tell you, you have inspired me to pursuit and commit to starting my own lawncare business when I can thank you!
Way to go! There’s BIG money in this if you do it right!
That is awesome!
Same here
start now your at the perfect age
Love the idea for blowing around the pool, will definitely be doing that next time I mow.
I had 1 pool customer took 2 guys 1 weedeating and another blowing away from the pool BUT I charged an additional $25 just for that reason and he gladly paid it
Must feel weird for you, Johnny, that your hands are tied, with regards to no plant beds, shrubs, etc; but if that’s what the customer wants, then that’s it. You still provide the highest quality lawn care. Oh, and how you line trim is surely a matter of personal preference. Great video and very informative. Bless you and take care ⭐️⭐️⭐️
It's really hard 😃👍
Good thing you video your jobs just in case, I’ve had a greenworks mower for 6 years and love it
You trimmed around the pool the same way I would and I don’t mind the gravel in the beds at the properties, but lava rock is its own category. Lava Rock is equivalent to trying to trim and blow around popcorn 🍿 🤣
I have to say your properties be looking picture perfect after you're done 👍🏾
I appreciate that
I'm there with you man when I used to work at all seasons ground care we had to do the same thing
Hey Johnny! I just picked up a 62” Toro ZMaster. Lords willing I’m going make my money back as fast as possible!!! Lol!
You will, definitely!
@Executive The Don Amen! Lords willing, You and I both!!!
You got a Beast 🤣
@@flacohellion3306 Thank you! I’m giving it a full tuneup!
His videos are calming for a person. Quite satisfying.
Thank you!
I was just thinking that! Calming AF!!
That's funny when you mention trimming left to right. When I first started I wondered why people did that because the trimmer rotates the opposite direction on most tremors and it cuts better so after a few years I finally forced myself to learn how to go right to left and after I retrain myself I won't trim left to right very often any longer. It's just a matter of knowing how to hold it and keep it off the ground. But it definitely isn't someone a new guy can do right off. Like I stated in another video of yours I've noticed you have a lot of electric or battery power I mean and I've just been a little leery of them especially battery powered push mowers. I always thought Green works was a real cheap generic company but you mentioned it was a commercial style push which I did not know that they made. I'm just me myself and I I only mow around 33 yards I believe I have not counted them for a while but I had around 47 and I could not keep up so I downsized. I've been in business long enough that a lot of my equipment is wearing out and I've been thinking about battery powered trimmers and blowers and possibly to push mower but I'll definitely keep gas powered for the thicker stuff. I had a rotator cuff going out in my shoulder and pulling ropes just absolutely kills me. Does your equipment stay charged for the whole entire day? I have a lot of DeWalt batteries but they're only 20 volt and I was thinking of buying some DeWalt stuff since I had the batteries but I realize I'll probably need more power than that.
I can watch that edging all day. Love it.
This is my first year doing lawn care services and I telling you seeing your videos as a successful entrepreneur is encouraging. While it not my first year working as a independent contractor as I do other kinds of work too. It does encourage me to see that the lvl of work I provide is on par with what I do as well. Sometimes I find myself doubting if I not doing enough as a professional should. But the reality is not all customers are capable of being made happy and some customers are just over joyed to even see you arrive no matter what the job is.
Your videos are very relaxing for me. Thanks. I just cut at home in south Louisiana
That's awesome
Literally just started a mowing business today and the second yard I did had a pool, no matter how much I tried to avoid grass going into the pool it just kept on going 🤣
Nice work Johnny!! Very thorough.
Much appreciated!
Thanks for your service!
Any time!
I had the same issue with echo string line I had to switch to a different kind I believe it a black line twisted I forget the exact name. Works pretty well!
If they won’t give me a key for the back gate, I move on.
My Echo black diamond line does break especially with Johnson grass when this happens i switch to STIHL CF3 Pro i don't get much breakage from this line or if all else fails i get my Reaper blade out it's an MTD triarc edger blade that i sharpened into a brush blade this blade is nuts it chews up pretty much anything in its way it is called "The Reaper" because of its curved cutting edges resembles a Reaper's sythe and because it is an edger blade it's overall rounded shape allows me to use it near walls,patios,wooden fences,trees and telephone poles without snagging into them.
Thanks for sharing!
Always gets the Job down God Bless You 🥰🙏🏽✝️
Hey Johnny I love watching you I'm for South Georgia and start a Lawncare Business
The older I get the more you
Appreciate those weight specs
I am going to start nxt season
With electric equipment man the
Husqvarna and mower quiet I can
Mow well maintained accounts early
With out waking the neighborhood!
I'm in Australia, doing same work. you have an awesome setup, love your equipment.
Thanks and welcome
On my way to get the greenguard now got a 36 inch Cub Cadet really hope the regular one works
Black Diamond weed eater line is really good
Great vid as always. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
You did a great job.
Up here in Indiana, we have to keep the string trimmer guard on. Makes for extra weight of course, on the trimmer.
We got those locks for our snowmobile trailer. So i guess that shows we trust them to protect $60,000 in snowmobiles so I reccomend them
I wonder how many times he says “you know” haha. Love the vids man!
😂
Take a shot every time he does say it
I like your videos and the equipment you use I use the same equipment i don't like gas powered stuff like weedeaters and lawnmowers and blowers I been cutting grass for about 4 almost 5 years now watching these videos teaches me stuff I need to know and I learn from the videos
Cool, thanks!
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare your welcome
Man I would have rolled up that hose. 😂. I just would 🤣
Good for him he didn't 😁
I am watching this later in the evening. The sounds of the trimmer and your voice have just about lulled me to sleep. 😂
😂😂😂👍
If you use the echo line it needs
to be the twisted skinny line the
reg line snaps constantly!
Properties with pools
Consider putting a small pool skimmer net in your trailer, they're cheap. Carry it with you and if you happen to get any debris in the pool - most of it floats - you can skim it out in a minute or two. If there is a whole bunch use your blower to blow it to the opposite edge, then skim it out.
Johnny, I couldn't believe it while I was reading the title of this video. You who allways work so neat accused by throing stuff in the pool. So I thought; let's watch carefully when he is working near the pool. I didn't see you mowing or blowing anything into the pool! So glad you filmed this. So there must be an other reasen for the stuff in the pool, but you didn't do it.I was upset and thought ; would he still work for the costumer when they accuse him for something he didn't do?But I see you are a proffesional and you take care as usual.
There was no subtiteling and I can't hear what you said but I think you did this job very professional and neat as always.
Thank you very much!
You seem super chill.
Thanks!
I heard that the echo black Dimond string.105 is really good the .105 is super strong and doesn't break easy
Great tips Johnny. Yeah you gotta get paid for your services lol. Have a great night.🌙🙏🏾✝️🙏🏾✝️🇺🇸
You got that right
I know it might be a pain in the neck extra step sometimes. But in this type of business. if you can. take a short video ort pictures that have a date stamp on them on the property before each service or work. then take same footage afterwards This is to protect you and show the property before and after. When they try stuff like this, In this case your before footage would have show the dirty pool prior to your service/work.
Enjoyed watching !
Glad you enjoyed
Got a text about an hour ago from a customer who wants me to try and keep grass out of pool. Well it's surrounded by grass and only 2 ft away. I told them "I'll try" even though in my estimate it says not responsible for grass in pool.
I need to start wearing long sleeve shirts. I wear gloves and everything else but my arms are always exposed. Now my wife nags me about how dark my arms are cause of it lol
Good job
Cutter
A lock keeps honest people honest
Yes!
Oregon.080 Gatorline Round is my pick!
Love this video. Thank you. Subscribed now.
Awesome, thank you!
Great video, I do have a question, that didn't ask before. If you had to edge around that pool and if the grass was kinda high how would you edge without getting grass in the pool, or hardly any at all? Thanks
It always happens
Brother I don't know how you deal with customers bitching and then some of these cyber lawn care experts in the comments. Better man than me!
Looking good!
Thanks!
Hi you are so thorough. I hate when the lawne guy leave grass in driveway and say he will be back later?
The only electric brand I trust is mainly EGO and also Husqvarna but I would definitely recommend the EGO line
I personally didn't like the EGO brand because it was too heavy
Time. Is. Valuable.
Iike the detail of that machine.
your very hard working you deserve a tip
Thanks!
What gloves would you recommend for all types of landscape jobs?
Real good job now when can you come to Pittsburgh and do my lawn 👍
🤔😆👍
how much did you charge for this lawn? Love the videos. I heard you said you charged for a one man one hour rate, how much is that for you? Thanks!
I agree with echo black line. I think the echo orange line is cheaper and less breaking.
I am blessed to live in areas and mow in areas where I do not have to lock things up. I know these City guys that have lawn Care businesses basically have to have a closed in trailer so they can lock it. Plus it does keep everything dry and nice but I still prefer my open trailer. Now if I had to mow in terre haute Indiana or Indianapolis Indiana then I would probably buy a closed trailer and lock everything up. LOL
Hey Johnny what size speed feed head is on your 520ilx? Im about go all Husqvarna battery as well! Any modifications to fit it on the battery trimmers?
It's an echo 400 speed feed head
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare thanks Johnny! Any modifications to the trimmer?
I would never do that.
Great Job Johnny 🥰✝️👑
Hola, thanks for replying to previous message, una pregunta. How much do you charge if you can't get into backyard due to fence?medium size
Depends on the backyard size usually 20 to 30% more
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
hi i wanted to ask about the trimmer i saw the handle bar and ive been looking where to find it where could i buy it i need one for my trimmer since the regular handle can be tiring
It's called the Darwin's Grip look in the video description for a link and discount code
So how do you like the battery push mower I only have 2. I push a week
Saves money on fuel and I only push 2 a week now as well
Also where I'm from we do not deal with flower beds unless the customer wants to pay a hefty price and usually they do not. I have tried over the years to get people to stop mulching their flower beds because 99% of them do not take care of them and they get overgrown with weeds. I've got two so far that quit mulching and put White Rock in place of the mulch and they would put succulent plants in them that are still in the containers and had a weed barrier underneath and two years later not one weed. There is another lady I'm trying to talk into doing White Rock or river rock. Every spring she has the most beautiful landscaping and that only lasts about 2 weeks until the weed start growing. A lot of people don't realize that mulch turns to dirt and even if you have a barrier down you will still have weeds from little seedlings that's blowing through the air or birds or however they get in there and then they grow in the mulch. I stepped away from doing mulch years ago I will only do rock now. The properties look so nice with White Rock instead of mulch. A lot less headache. Anyway good job.
Do mulching blades make a difference? . I have a set and have not installed them yet.
Yes
Any yards over able to knee height I cut higher then cut a little lower to put less stress on grass & to only take 1/3 of the blade off so it doesn’t hurt the roots and expose them to direct sun cause we always get blamed if the grass dies after we cut it
I get it to they don’t understand even when there is wind 💨
Hey Johnny, i got a question, do you use LMN software, or what do you use for making you’re estimates. Also, what’s the worst thing to happen to any of your equipment, the worst thing that happened to my personal mower was the tensioner pulley ripping out form the mower deck and their was a gapping hole in it, luckily my dad and i fixed it. It took three hours, but we patched the hole, and made it better than new, hav you ever had to do any on job site repairs to your equipment.
You listen to salsa 😳my man 👍😎
Yes I do!
Black diamond line is ok but it wears quick l like Stihl commercial round 095 and Stihl X line 095 both are dark green and light green l like the Oregon line round too take care my friend 😁
I wish I had more customers I only have one
Keep grinding
Give up
Just kidding bro good luck finding customers hope it goes well
Keep going don’t stop for shit bud more relationships=more business
Just make sure you do the best you can with that customer.
Put the spool of echo string in a bucket of water for about a day to soak and it will to get its elasticity back
I'm trying to start a lawmmowing business I wanna go all battery what products would you recommend
The ones that I use
I saw on a fix it show that trimmer line over time will become brittal when old they suggest to soak the line in water to let it rejuvenate and when it dries you will have less breakage........Manufacturers buy in bulk so there is no telling how old and dry the line is at purchase some could be a year or two old❗️
What size trailer you have? Tell that commenter that everyone doesn't live in Mayberry USA, so we have to secure our property. I see you left the key in the Toro when you went to the back to blow. Do you typically leave the key in the machines unattended?
What size encavle trailer is that?
Great idea about blowing across the pool.
Sorry for all the comments but you asked for a comment on the line. I have had the same issue with the twist line from echo and the twist line from another company I cannot remember the name but it does not take long for trimmer string to get dry and brittle. That's why I do not buy trim restring that I know has been sitting in their place for a long time. I like to get the fresh batch just like my food. LOL
But you are right they do break I had the 0.95 I do believe and in my hex string I use 105 normally and I keep it out of the Sun because it will become fragile over time. But the twist line is a lot quieter if that matters to you and I'm not so sure on how it cuts or rips the grass. There is a CZcams channel or a guy use a high-speed camera to show all the different styles of trimmer string. Some of the ones you thought would cut really nice actually do not. I cannot remember the name of the channel but if you type it in CZcams it will pop up. The best trimmer string I have found is made by Stihl and it's the hex 95 or 105. Again sorry for all the comments. Have a good one.
How much does the Mower goes for??
Wow, did you see the size of that spider at 7:38 lol
Echo line .95 when you get to the middle of a roll it goes quicker
I cannot convince myself to use a tractor and mow in all directions, stripes in a different direction every week is the standard for me.
What kind of headphones do you use, since surrounded by loud noise all day?
It's in the link in the description. 👍
I use ISOTunes a link is in this video description and they work great!
Hey blades of grass lawncare I have a question how do have my friend start their own lawncare business because they want to be one they have been asking me about it and I was wondering if you had any advice or tips them to start a successful business at the age of 23 years old he really wants to know how the lawncare works and it's basically it takes for him to start his own business is there any advice or tips that will help him with his journey to becoming a Lawncare worker because my gardener is looking for one he could really use some help with the yards he does in my neighborhood
What website do you get your battery trimmer at?
And can you add a speed head to it?
What do you use to hold your camera
I said it in the video
It's simple: Lawncare guy coming over, or if you're not going to be using the pool, put a darn pool cover on! You can't make everyone else responsible for making your stuff dirty because you were too lazy to keep it covered. What, too expensive? You can buy a 10 foot by 25 foot sheet of plastic for $13.
