Maybe, but if the yard starts to look like crap, that could be a sign that no one is home and a good target to rob.
@@jbdragon3295 Good point also city fines.
@@jbdragon3295 I understand that as a criminal you look for any opportunity you can but one day that's going get you shot or worse, Some veterans have disabilities preventing them from being able to do yard work for all you know they're still home!
@@luciferslettuce he wasn’t saying he was a criminal. It’s just people tend to target homes with overgrown yards and what not
at least you were able to get to the back
I'm a totally disabled military veteran that wants to say God bless you for helping him.
CPT, you are a sweetheart💖 Thank you for your service🤗
I'm watching you cut someone else grass while I need to cut my grass.
😆👍
Join the club.
Whilst needing to cut my own grass*
@@sceplecture2382 Whomst do ye think ye be
@@sceplecture2382 nerd. Jk jk
What the hell happened to neighbors helping neighbors. I would have been cutting his grass. Thank you for your service!
My thoughts exactly. As a neighbor it's likely you have each other's contact details and you could just send them a text and ask. Also, it's better for the entire neighborhood if the houses and gardens stay maintenaned, it keeps unwanted visitors away. 😉
@@MotorScotti True! I hate when poor people come in and ruin neighborhood
I think sometimes people are just intimidated to step in. Our young adult offspring were renting our house from us when we were stationed away. They just let the yard go, heck a family of deer were hanging out in the front yard. We have good neighbors but they just felt it wasn’t their place to step in. In one respect it sort of worked out because they didn’t water either...But they took decent care of the house and payed the rent on time every month.
I would of cut his grass ....I have great neighbors ....they cut my grass over the weekend
💯
In Florida it would’ve been a forest of weeds and grass over 6 ft tall.
You ain’t lying!! I messed around and missed a two week job and the yard had all kinds of grasshoppers, lizards, etc running for their lives when that mower come roaring through 😂🤣😂😂
@@mfamus2272 Thanks Earl 👍🏽 I got your back! Lol- don’t forget the snakes, and spiders, sorry for not replying sooner... thank CZcams!😑
Edit I just chased a coral snake off my carport, last week was a huge black snake, I know they aren’t venomous but the big ones bit my daughter last year😠
@@hollywarehouse7938 No problem, you’re good. I have people replying back three/four years later. 😂
@@mfamus2272 lol
In Florida, you would’ve received a half dozen code violation notices and received a fine, unless you are zoned agriculture.
I know what it is like to be in the millitary and deployed to the other side of the world. You think about your home and youre not able to communicate with the people who are working on your behalf. Sometimes to be able to talk with someone who is in the United states, you wait for a month or two. Then you are limited to a short phone call. It's easy to forget to contact everyone and remember everything you have to do.
I wish I could let my yard go for six months and it look like this. I would literally have a jungle.
Do not forget about the fox's den lol
No doubt... my yard would be crazy out of control.
My lawn only looks like this one after I mow. One drop of rain and my lawn becomes the amazon rainforest!
Mine is a jungle and it will stay that way until I can afford to replace the mower and gardening equipment that was stolen almost a month ago now. All that yard needs now is a good weed and feed and maybe a watering system that is on a time to keep the yard nice and green and the plants alive. You did a great job you take a lot of pride in your work, nicely done and quickly. Well done sir from Queensland Australia
I mowed mine 4 days ago, it rained for 3 days after. It's grown probably 6" already lol
I was expecting tall grass entangled everywhere. Not too bad at all. You did a fantastic job
That’s called click bait. lol
Hard to be overgrown when it's all dead xD
If I let my yard go that long you wouldn’t see the hydrant
I was thinking the same thing.. Someone had to be maintaining it at some point. It would've been a lot longer for not being maintained for 6 months.
You gave that yard an old skool Steve Harvey shape up..!!
Nice Job!
😂👍
You don’t forget to mow for 6 months; that was a conscious choice.
Facts 🦄
I seriously doubt you forgot to trim that yard! I've seen plenty of yards that you can tell the Gardner hasn't been doing the work. You can just tell. Easy to spot. And many Gardners take advantage of the owners not being there for months.
I am a little late to this video, I just wanted to say that I am impressed that you take the time to clean the weeds and grass in the concrete. You are the only one I see doing it and It drives me nuts to see a job well done but have all the growth in the concrete. Well done sir.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!
Yeah I can’t understand why are people too lazy to do that or on the sidewalks going into someone’s home.
An the damage those roots do the concrete over time!! I sprayed mine with green killer.
U did u good job on that yard it really needed to be mowed and cleaned up thank god for people like u are still around
You do an awesome job and you are so nice to cut your lawns for the men/women serving our country. One of my neighbors was deployed with the National Guard and I noticed his lawn was getting out of control so I took it upon myself to mow his lawn. Every week I'd do his after I mowed my own. When he returned home I learned he had HIRED his ex-stepson to mow and paid him all summer. Well, I just wanted to be a good neighbor so I didn't expect anything in return.
That is awesome!
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare sad tough that his stepson took the money but did nothing for it.
Honestly, that dude needs to have his entire lawn dug up, leveled and hydroseeded. It's basically weeds. That's not grass 🤣😐
faxx
Looks like the builder didn't bother putting top soil on the lots before seeding. really sandy and not enough organic material.
This guy obviously has no idea what's he is doing.... hey I'm going to start my own business
So much more than that if you readout wanna be successful and make money without having atypical boss
Why hydro seed? Is that like superior to other forms of growing grass? You can tell this channel blew up by the amount of noobs commenting.
@@jamiepippin3892 It could be considered superior due to cost and ease of use. For this guy's yard though he may be better of just paying the extra for sod since the yard isn't huge and it'll be instant grown grass.
Well done! My favorite part is seeing the seriously efficient and tidy set up of the interior of your truck!!
6 months and that’s it? That’s a maintenance free yard!!! I love it. You have a very good work ethic good attitude! Look forward to the next vid!
I think maybe someone mowed the yard at least a couple times in that 6 months for him?
Some of props to Mr. Blades O'G. for his great work prior to the 6 months lapse.
It looks like one of the neighbors helped you out with the front yard. Why don't you get some magnetic strips to go on the inside of your trailer for things like those blades or screwdrivers? They make life alot easier.
Hey man you legit inspired me to start my own business & for that I just want to say thank you ! & I always watch all you’re videos ! Keep up the amazing content! 👍👍
I appreciate that!
It's been 2 months. How's the business going, Guru?
How is everything working out, Guru?
As someone born and raised in coastal NC, I remember well how sand took it's toll on mower blades!
New Bern myself.
Any wet climate the decks rust away so fast
This is the first video I’ve watched on this channel. Looks to have a nice setup of yard equipment. Knows what he is doing. Battery powered hand equipment which is a little quieter, and I assume less maintenance than gas powered. So long as you remember to charge up all the batteries.
Where are you guys to have such weak sandy soil? Where I am, in one month the grass would be two feet tall. After 6 months there would be chimpanzees and a tropical rainforest
This is close to the beach
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare what beach
Loving the logo! I also appreciate your service level that you provide! Even thou this service member fell between the cracks it a situation where we learn from it. Mistakes and problems happen in any type of businesses. But the secret to @ successful business is how they handle the problem. Fantastic video! 👍👍👍👍👍
hey colleague I just finished scarifying now by sowing and the lawn is like new again!
your videos are fun to watch.
Mad props on your edging skills! Looks great!
3:30 mumbles to himself yard is not so bad, his neighbor’s look like sh$t, pardon my language. Lol… clicked subscribed. Love a man who calls it like he sees it 😄
I had the opposite reaction. Doesn't matter what the other yards look like. This yard was his and as a professional he should care that it looked bad. But he doesn't seem to.
@@Adriana-hp1eh Was it really his though? From the explanation, it's not his responsibility to follow up on somebody who doesn't reply. I'm sure he usually does so as a courtesy, and maybe for more business, but in general? Not his problem. It's more likely blaming himself for this makes for a more dramatic title and more clicks on the video.
@@crazy808ish
I would agree with you, because the way he explained the renewal process made me think the title was just clickbait. But he stated several times over the course of the video that he forgot this yard. So, he's taking responsibility for it being his yard. If he keeps saying it for dramatic effect, then he's not that bright because it reflects negatively. In my opinion.
Same.
I doubt even know how I got to lawn care CZcams
I knew this was Georgia from the red clay! I'm Canadian & spent summers
there. I think some grass seed would be good for this yard..
Thanks to the home owner for serving his country & the great American people!
Hi from Ontario, Canada. I subscribed to your channel.
I love your trailer set up. So organized with all the cool tools and toys. I'm jealous!
Great stuff! Thanks for keeping it real!
Always!
" looks like shit " I love the " baby " cuss words every so often LOL :) good stuff G!!!
😂😂😂👍
Way to go brother great work look out for our veterans from the military. God bless
Nice job. You made a plan then you went to town . Thank you to your customer for his service ... Keep up the great work..
Thanks 👍
Lmao the title itself made me laugh 😂
😂👍
Was pleasing to watch those weeds come down but man that lawn needs to be nuked and a complete reseed/sod performed.
I know this is a very small thing but I am a mailman an it tweeked me when I saw that he was parked in front of the mail boxes. Its not a huge deal to most of us, we deliver to as much as 1000 houses. It adds up.
I imagine he's cognizant of the mail carrier coming up the street and can move his vehicle if delivery time overlaps with his lawn gig. It would irk me more if he parked it there and left in another ride.
Most mailmen in my area will just pass the house if a car is blocking and I totally understand you guys have a job to do and it’s most likely hot cause I know it hot where I live, but sometimes especially in places like apartments there’s really no other option. I just wanted to give you my point of view. Anyways thank you for delivering mail day in and day out and I really respect what you do.
@@deborawagner7657 I imagine that too, but it is kind of short-sighted on his part. If he would park the car somewhere else in the first place he wouldn't have to interrupt his work if/when the mailman arrives and the mailmans irritation level would stay low.😊
Looks like its early morning tho
There did appear to be a wide open area on the other side of the neighbor's driveway ... perhaps he will park there in the future.
Been awhile since I made any comments. Anyway... Great job and great POV on this property. I finally broke down and bought a Darwin's Grip plus one extra attachment. One attachment on the trimmer and one on the edger. I really like the Darwin's Grip. Less back pain and I feel I have better control over the edger and trimmer. Chat to you again.
Man his yard looks like mine does every 2 weeks I wish I could go 6 months and it only be that bad
Whoa, you cut really straight without any jiggling around. I can’t do that......but then I don’t have your tools either that look really sweet. Good job!
Before you showed up the neighbor across the street be like: “I’m not worried about mowing mine.... look across the street at that house the veteran who’s deployed lives.” 😁
😂😂😂👍
If I were the neighbor of a deployed veteran, I would have cut his lawn for him.
@@erikdwyer729 thought the same thing- he wouldnt have to worry about his lawn.
Sad the neighbors didn't each do a section for him .
Looks like someone did cut the grass not to long ago, too short for 6 months. Also check out the dry grass stains on the sidewalk. It looks like it was cut.😊
You locking up that trailer shows you trust people about as much as I do. Granted I still trust some friends that I probably shouldn't.
u are a very good man thank u for what all are military n veterans do amen
Was just thinking, must be crazy neighbors to not do a fa or and look after the lawn. Its not that big.
Peter, I would too. I have a neighbor across the street. He was in the Army for years. He and his wife are in their 70s now. I would do anything I could for them. They never ask for anything, but they are generous and loving and kind folks. I, of course, have adopted them🤗💗
6 months and mine would have been looking like an abandoned field
I was expecting tumbling tumble weeds in the front and back yards!
🤣🤣
Easy to have forgotten...
Looks great though... 👍😊
Good job owning and correcting the situation!
Thank you!
I'm a new subscriber. You have a great looking, well equipped setup. Well organized! Good job on this property. Looking forward to more of your vids.
Thanks for the sub!
Wow Johnny, that has to be one of the first properties of yours I’ve ever seen look so weedy,& brown. You had it looking real good at the end though. Hopefully with a little rain, it’ll start to look healthier. Good luck with that one brother.🤞🏾🤞🏾👍🏾🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
The relief of adjustment to the trimmer line without having to pull start the trimmer again must feel satisfying.
The grass didn’t grow,, just the weeds.. not bad at all!
The neighbors should have mowed it!
100%
Got it looking clean Top! CRISPY!
Thanks!
I enjoy the vids sir …you are a true master of your craft.
Living here in Alaska it's easy to go 6 months without mowing considering its covered in snow the whole time.
I love winter because life becomes simple. No yard work for one. A lot of outdoor projects get put on hold, no one expects you to do as much stuff because its so cold, snow is to deep or the roads are just so icy. Plus everything looks beautiful for 7ish months.
The Darwin grips are a must! I got one to try it out after you talked about them and now I have them on the trimmer and edger. Not only do they make it more ergonomic, but the control you have is so much better.
Nice set up..I never seen anyone use electric weeder and edger for commercial use..nice job...
Thanks 👍
It was just a lapse in communications, you did an awesome job as usual. Praying that your customer was pleased and accepted your apologies. Have a great day!
Thank you so much!
Great job man your an inspiration!
dude, my yard looks waaay taller when i haven't mowed in a month (recently happened because my machine broke down and it took quite a while to fix).
I should be so lucky to have only this after 6 months...
He needs a pressure washing and some round up sprayed heavily and that house would be one of the best on the block
Round Up, a Monsanto brand... yes lets thank this vet for his service with a some cancer.
I personally would not want to use chemicals on my lawn that could potentially be deadly to bugs.. Bugs are being less common and if there are no bugs it disrupts the food chain. 🐞🐛🐜🕷🦟🪲
@@possiblegames2953 damn well don’t look at my lawn then lmao that shit is sprayed and spread every quarter for weeds and bugs and my house is pressure washed twice a year in November and may after heavy pollen
I mean no disrespect, but that round up is poison to humans. It causes cancer among many other health issues
Just ordered the Darwin Grip. I've never heard of them until this video. Thanks
That mower is awesome!! You need a better weed eater! My daughter got me the Worx electric weed eater, it is made for ladies and is lite weight! You taught me a couple things about mowing my yard! I was starting off with mowing when I shoulda been edging, weedeating and then mowing! Oh! ALWAYS lock your truck, cause in my neighborhood they have hoodlums!! Great job!!😊
great work on the free hand edging, takes a steady hand/eye to do that lol
That looks like my bi weekly yards, except they are usually thick and wet too.
We live in Alaska and in June and July we have to mow our yard every 4 days if we want it to look decent. The sun is already up 16 1/2 hours a day now.
That’s a good looking lawnmower you got there
That is a lot of Rank on the back window of your truck. Thank you for your service.
You blow grass to neighbors drive way, that’s a no no
Oh shut up
@@mauriciopascual676 He isn't wrong.
That's all the yard looked like for not mowing for 6 months!!! Must of been the 6 months of winter!
😂
If my front yard looked like that, i'd say "i'll come check again in another 6 months and maybe cut it then"
I understand. Several times I have asked various people for assistance in solving a problem. It is their job to work on these issues. After weeks or months of never hearing back, I call them back and they say, "well, I sent them an Email." And that was the extent of their effort. And then they immediately forgot about it, waiting for a response. Email will never replace a simple phone call.
I love how attentive a driver he is. You can see his eyes constantly scanning left right, mirrors, forward.
that husky battery trimmer is STRONG! Have you thought about an echo speed feed head with it?
That's next, thanks!
That use of the leaf blower near the end to clean the mower was a great idea I'll be implementing when I cut my own grass in the future.
Mine looks worse after being late 2 days, lol. Sell that poor man some grass seed! Thanks for posting.
That's 2 weeks growth for me lol Amazing
See what you mean about the neighbouring yards, Johnny. They look like they need the services of Blades of Grass, as well!! Beautiful work on front and back yards for your customer. Crisp edging, string trimming excellent. Customer will be very pleased. Take care Johnny and stay safe 💯💯
Thanks you very much!
The neighborhood should have helped while he was on tour!!! My neighbor did 2 tours in Irac and I took care of his yard and house for both tours, that’s what neighbors should do
"They yard look like shit" lmao goteem
Hey where did you get that great shirt Johnny? Nice video as always!
Theres a link in the video description, thanks!
I don’t know if you have any friends that do power washing but if so tell them to stop by this house. The cement surfaces could use it.
Got it
If it were not for the fact it would cost me 185.00 in fuel I would go there a pressure wash them Friday.
2:22 “because uhh......oh wowww”😂😂
Enjoyed video. Great work
3:16 😂😂 more of this Jonny we all need to laugh here and there
😂😂😂👍
Guys...I think he forgor 💀
😭😤😂
Very many few people know that a weed eater is an instrument! You can leave some beautiful work.
🤣🤣🤣 the initial 😬 then the 😒 when you seen the neighbors
I use to mow my neighbors yard for him when he deployed and me and his wife became friends I kinda forgot that he had no clue I was going over and doing things for them well I guess when he got back he saw me coming and going on his doorbell camera and well being a good neighbor almost caused him to go postal but all’s good now we had some explaining to do and now we all friends
Wow, thanks for sharing and glad it all worked out!
Suuurrreeeeeeee
So you all excepted being swingers?
@@jimhenry3992 nope just good neighbors
6 Months???? In Pennsylvania my yard looks like this after 3 days of rain. Height wise that is, our yards never get this dead looking.
Haha, western PA here, have to mow every 4 days right now or it’s a hayfield, have to mow in between rain storms.
My Colorado grass grows two inches in one day 🤣🤣🤣
Man those battery powered equipment are amazing. I really am gonna look into a blower and edger.
That’s a lot of trips to the trailer 😳
I watched all that and did t get to see a nice AFTER shot. Dang!
I just decided to buy a cordless edger yesterday. I bought the Milwaukee string trimmer when it first came out - and of course the next year they put out the Quick Lock system with all the attachments. Even better - theres no edger kit, and you cant buy the power head without buying the whole string trimmer kit - and then buying the edger attachment. Found a guy on eBay selling just the power head, and gonna buy the edger from the store. Watching how fast you just did that tells me i made the right choice. So tired of trying to do my corner property edging with the string trimmer. It takes way to long and just eats up string.
You kill me with that battery operated weedeater stuff!
I just worked a 10 hour day cutting and now im watching someone else... uh oh😶🙃
I do the same
An Quest having a younger mind should have been on top of that not forgetting memo 📝
Love your work ethic
You could edge the extra couple feet to the neighbors driveway instead of stopping short cause it makes both properties worse. But otherwise you are a hell of a worker and seem like a great guy. Keep hustling brother and make that money!
I need a lazy boy mower dang I'm burning to many calories out here.
😂👍
Wow his neighbor couldn’t have done him a solid knowing he was deployed 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ People get thrown off seeing me mow my family’s property, if I knew someone local who was deployed I’d do theirs too 🤷🏼♀️ but that’s just me…
Hugs to you Hugh🤗 You're my kind of guy💙
Superb work my friend.
Many thanks
I did the same thing with a Rabbi I cut😬
Business owners are human and make mistakes and any lawn company owners out there can relate to what you did but you owned up to it and admitted it to all of CZcams etc and that's manning up and taking accountability for your actions and I admire that.
