25-30 a yard if you pick it up. Near your ny loco. For delivery it depends how far and how much you get
$33 here in Louisiana
Black or brown is about $35 here is SC. Undyed is about $24.

I’m 20 years old starting in lawncare within 6 weeks I have 20 clients I work for. I started working at 20-25$ an hour.... by watching these videos i make 40-75$ an hour budgeting hours for jobs and also raising my prices. Don’t under bid yourself people!
Mike, you are doing a great service for your community.
I found your channel from another channel that couldn't get over the politicians
have the nerve to send you a cease and desist letter.
Looks like your community needs to clear out some overpaid bureaucrats and
politicians.
I'm 63. You remind me of when I used to be young and in shape with energy. This old man is thinking about starting to work out. This is motivation.
You got this!! Bands are a great place to get started for resistance training and you can do it from home. Good luck!
The way I have priced much in the past is charge 3 times sometimes 4 what the mulch cost. That covers my labor and hauling. Usually it balances out in the end every time. That’s the story here in TN. Keep up the good work and sharing your knowledge.
So if you’re wrapping the front of the house and maybe decide you’re only charging 120 bucks and is that removing old mulch as well just curious brother
When the city can’t take care of important areas like this tells you something. Great work sir .
Hey brother,
I just wanted to take the time to thank you for this very informal video. You just made my day. Me and my family just started a lawn care business and we have some costumers wanting mulching done around their yards. I was really not sure of pricing, I spent many hours watching videos today, until I came across this videos. Now I am much more confident and can go ahead tackling the mulch jobs that are available out there. God bless🙏
Dear City of Blaine, stop being jerks. Thank you from every logical person on the planet.
Your story passed my feed and
😡ANGERED😡 the snot out of me!
I am so sorry you even crossed the minds of the humans that thought FOR EVEN ONE SECOND that you should be reprimanded for the BEAUTIFUL work you done!
Please DO NOT let them sad humans stop your MUCH APPRECIATED HARD WORK TO THE COMMUNITY!
PLEASE CONTINUE TO HELP THE COMMUNITY AND SET AN AMAZING EXAMPLE FOR OUR YOUTH!
"IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD!"
Our youth is watching you Sir! And I am proud of you for allowing their precious eyes to see something nice and giving FOR A CHANGE!
I love this guy! he’s brought my yard game to an other level, now my neighbour across from from me is not the only one with an immaculate front yard and plant beds.
I would recommend buying a wheelbarrow with two wheels. It can carry more material and it's better for you back. It also makes it easier to push on rough terrain
You can’t, the bottoms split something awful. I tried to reach out to Jackson and True Temper a few months ago when I couldn’t find the 8/10 cubic foot models ANYwhere, and couldn’t order a replacement tub directly from them. They said both models were discontinued and aren’t going to be made anymore. Call them yourself if you don’t believe me, it’s super foolish. Anyways, maybe now that the coroneyvirus is chilling out, and people are working outside again, perhaps they’ll get their heads out of their asses, and start creating tools we need and want. I have three blue 8 cubic foot wheelbarrows, and they’re all broken. From logs and mulch. Can’t buy them, they’re not made at the moment. Have a nice day.
I'm thinking a 2 wheeled wheelbarrow cant make tight turns between rocks and other obstructions
Maneuvering a double wheel barrow sucks
Decided to follow after the little lab pup gave a fact about the truck in the video. Professional and interactive. Good stuff! And greta video!
I charge at least $110 per yard to put it down. It cost me $38 per cubic yard to buy from supplier
Used work for the state of VA making mulch when I was 18, hell of a job grinding trees and screening 💪
Lol the ending had me laughing. You don’t subscribe your worst customers I’ll call 😂
Looks great 👍 it’s nice to see more people and small businesses in the community taking care of the community
Too bad the government ruins anything good
Beauty bark adds a beautiful touch!
Very good job and good advertisement with the busy road right there like you had said you had received a few calls already
Love the ending Mike 🤣
Gotta do what ya gotta do LOL
Hi Mike,
Would you be happy to share your vinegar-based weed killer recipe?
Big love from the Manningtree, the smallest town in England.
I started up my own "gardening" business in March 2020 - Just found your videos.
Great inspiration. Keep up the good work.
Warm regards,
Ben
Hey what did you decide to use f or the weed killer? Im starting up this with my friend and it would be helpful knowing what to use.
Acetic acid is a contact weed killer. Diluted 10:1 white vinegar
BLOWING THE DEBRIS INTO THE ROAD...TOP NOTCH BUD
Thanks man your awsome looks like I've been leaving money on the table with this one. Thanks 😊 🙏
I know some people mulch different me and my guys use pitchforks to spread it and put nice lines in it and have a nice rolled Edge I do understand it is a little bit slower but customers love the look
I enjoy pulling weeds, and I do work for a landscaping company
I love pulling weeds. Oddly satisfying for me.
Great work, looks fantastic
Also watched this one too.... From copper Creek channel!!!
Great job Mike!
I really like this video and as a free service I did not like the City complaint. Good job making their city looking 👍 👌
Wide pitch forks work easier than the plastic shovels and big plastic leaf rakes work better to even out the mulch and used upside down . 🤓
That second sign was in even worst shape. Total neglect from city employees. Everyone is all excited to put these signs and landscaping in but if they’re not maintained it’s just a waste of money.
Interesting work there. Looks great.
This was a good move I like it good job
thanks on the tips in mowing grass buddy again you welcome
thanks a million sir!!
your videos are helpful indeed to me in pa - state
Put a tarp under the back of your truck on street and or yard saves 10 min or so on clean up
If it's a really hot day a tarp can burn grass in a few hours, especially a black tarp.
@@newsweathertraffic18 if that's the case you shouldn't drive on the lawn or put the muffler to close to grass my guy
Well done Mike!
And the city of Blaine is trying to sue for your awesome work! Unbelievable
Keep up the great work!
Love these types of videos
The definition of an evil parent is: punish children for doing good. The insanity and evil of these bureaucrats' action to threaten a lawsuit cost the city more than the donated labor and materials. Power freaks. The City needs to publicly apologize to Mike and thank him for his service!
beautiful work, good job!
Thanks! It looks so much better!
Awesome job
How many cubic yards does your trailer carry and what size is it??? Nice content btw!
Should get at least a 100 bucks a yard to put mulch down
I am not sure if that is possible where I live ? guess it depends on the median income of the area where you live.
Great video!
What kind of spray do you use? I saw you mention it in one of your videos but I cannot find it anymore.
Thank you man awesome video
Mike needs to get his pesticide license.
Probably not smart enough....
You could probably study tonight and take the test tomorrow. :)
Idk about Washington, but the test in Michigan was stupidly easy. I had to take it for a class in college lol, i have never used pesticides in my life
@@MikeAndes 🤣
Yard or cheapest commercial bark is around 60 a yard at all my local landscape yards in the central coast california
If you have a cheap wheelbarrow tire and low $ greenslime in a can it's like fix a flat but way better
"Trespassing" love how cities think people are trespassing on **Public** property
Can I just ask what pants and boots you always wear??
Wolverine boots and Amazon pants (tactical)
Around here if I showed up and started landscaping on public property without a contract I'd be arrested on the spot guaranteed.
Nobody is going to ask to see your contract
@@jordanweaver1443 I'm sure it's different in other places but here not only will the cops first question be if you have the contract to do this work, (he knows you don't because he knows the guy who does.)
At this point you're just glad he called his cop buddy instead of whipping your ass up and down the street.
What are you spraying in the beds that doesn't kill the other plants ?
How's it going I'm actually thinking of buying a dump trailer for my business But I have A150 Dodge truck What size dump trailer Do you suggest I should get Thank you
Nothing much bigger than a 7x10
8:49 what are u spraying?
What pants are those? I need those for when I'm on overgrown properties!
What do you use to spray weeds
Good job
What pants are you wearing?
Just some tactical pants from Amazon
What company do you use to make your shirts ?
Hi what happens if the customer want to bring the mulch how much you think charge ? I need advice thank you
We usually require us to handle materials to avoid miscommunication and delivery snafus
What do you spray the weeds with? Is it something generic from big box stores?
They're a few out there that it's just the concentration and all you gotta do is mix with water in the sprayer tank. You can find it at Walmart, Lowe's and home Depot. If you want the professional grade you can buy them ragan and Massey's website
@@isaacartavia6278 it’s a vinegar based herbicide
what's your average ratio between time doing actual work at the customer and time inside your car/driving to the next customer?
For mowing, ideally less than 20% drive time... really depends on size of property and route density
@@MikeAndes Thanks for answering, interesting! I'm wondering if it's possible to further improve efficiency (for mowing) by using automation technology.
Maybe not these small battery powered devices for private customers, but something bigger, based on mowers you use at the moment and equipped with sensors, camera etc and the ability to move by itself.
And instead of pushing a single mower manually, one could instead configure and control 4 of them that do the work in parallel semi-automated.
Are there already robots for professional use available or is it more complicated than I think?
You are wasting time and energy climbing into that trailer to scoop mulch. You could pull that trailer onto ramp block and use a custom funnel gate to slide mulch into the wheel barrow. Loading should take very little time and effort, efficiency is profit. When loading over grass use a white cloth painter's tarp with a board attached to 2 sided, holds it down in the wind and makes it easy to roll up, also the white cloth won't burn grass. The tarp can also be laid over the mulch on the way to the job, for anybody without the trailer tarp.
If I tried to do this with my minivan do you think I would have to worry about people taking me seriously? Do you think I should remove my political stickers from the van?
Don’t let any of those things keep you from starting ✅ I started in a minivan. You got this!
How come you didn’t use plastics under mulch
Probably would have been convicted of littering by the city 😂
$100 A YARD INSTALLED $10 PER YARD DELIVERED.
Mulch is a scam, but if you want it I’ll put it in. The recycled tire stuff seems to hold its color the best.
I hope he does call. Ain’t been paid for the last 2 service’s and he won’t answer the phone. Better not hit the subscribe button just in case lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣✅✅✅🤞🤞🤞
Left the weeds growing in the concrete along the curb.
Hurts the look of the whole job.
Would have taken 1 minute more to do it all properly.
Legend has it Mike got sued….
I charge 260 per yard to put it down .
Dont punish yourself and your employees with these horrible heavy wheelbarrows, omg they are the worst to work with. I use Tufx and that changed my life :D
ceased and desist.. hahaha
Lame no mini skid steer!
YOUR VIDEOS NEED MORE VOLUME FOR
WHEN YOU TALK ; CAN HARDLY HEAR YOU.
😩
Okay bro if you want to do free work you need to ask the people you want to do free work at there property you can't just go ahead and do what ever you want Especially if it's for the city not sure why people on CZcams are doing "Free work " in the first place to cost your business too much money to do stuff for free if yiu wouldn't do a add on for free that a customer asked you to do why would you do free work completely
It's called advertisement duh
Algorithm
Hello Mike this is Karen and I’m going to have to report you to the city and by the way you’re getting a parking ticket for parking in a no parking zone.
The city should be ashamed of themselves
Why weren't they happy?
Boy the city is going to come down on you , the workers are going to moan because they hate change, the management are too lazy to come from behind thier computers ,
DUDE! BLOW DOWN THE SURFACES FIRST SO YOU DONT CONTAMINATE THE BED WHEN YOU DO BLOW DOWN...MY GOD BRUH HOW ARE YOU SUCCESSFUL?
No weed barrier or plastics ... wheres the pride at ...low class work
They would killed me if I did that… they already sent me a cease and desist… let alone if I but barrier down and “littered” 😂
And why are you mulching , trimming and cleaning up a city sign? Doesn't this community have city park workers? Hmm?
Where and how do you make the All Natural Vinegar Based weed killer
