Skip companies can be a pain in the a**, ask them to collect it, they said sure, didn't turn up and left it sitting in a driveway for 1 week. While I look like a muppet and said yes, it will be gone by xxx and it still sitting there. Still at least you got the right size skip you ordered? Fence looks nice and tidy job.

Harley good video bro. I feel you're semi new to this industry? Great to see another young fellow gardener like myself and local ish to me also (Hampshire) BUT, if I see another video of you edging with the strimmer, I will personally find you and poke you in the eyes! 😁 Nah but seriously bro, 1 wrong stone and goodbye eye. Not worth the risk. I brought a pack of 12 goggles for around £15 on amazon. Decent things. Keep up the vids my guy, I'm on 10 years gardening and might switch to self employment next year.

After the first cut these will be cut right down leavening a fresh lawn on top the lawn will swallow them and as it get foot traffic it will drive it into the ground, this is the second time ive done this process so i know it works in the long run.

I've done a lot of reclamation work, similar to above. With the sprawling root structure of those shrubs, I would have used a mini digger like you did. A stump grinder is a great piece of kit, but it's more suited to mature trees with a well-defined base.

When I worked out the diesel and time taken to tip off, it would have been cheaper to do it this way. Although if the garden was bigger, I would have gotten a skip. I only had 1 and a half trailer loads off of it, wouldn't if even filled a 4 yder. It's a great suggestion however this is why I opted for this. Your right the digger is definitely the best option. Most comments agreed. Thanks for taking the time to watch this video.

A stump grinder would be good. However, if you still needed to fix the levels afterwards, you would still have had to rent a digger, so you would have had increased hire costs. There would also still have been some waste to take away! Mixing soft ground up stumps into the ground isn't ideal when turfing or seeding because when they rot, you will end up with soft, low spots in the garden. I would have done exactly what you did and just rented a digger for the day! PS. you should have ear defenders on when you are on the digger! Don't want to go deaf!

I don't believe this. I have mechanics in my family so 60 an hour labor is not something I need to worrie about..parts are cheap and the 1.9 in then are about the most reliable engine money can buy. It would be a false economy buying a newer van for 8 to 10k then still having to put more money into it at some point. Wear and tear is still a thing on the newer van I can't see it being cheaper plus the old girls barly uses fuel. I'll get 300 quod scrap and she's worth 1 to 1.5k on the private market as is. It's still got another 40k reliable miles in her why scrap it for something that's probably going to cost me more in the long run....

Hi mate, I have noticed that you sell a bit of firewood on the side of your business. I am looking to do this on the side of my gardening business. Is there any licensing or certification/moisture content that I need or can you just sell the firewood. Any tips would be greatly appreciated thanks 👍
@HDGardenCare
@HDGardenCare 2 ай бұрын
Not sure about licences. I mean always use a saw with care, you will lose a limb other wise. you just want to keep the wood to below 20% moisture and try to only sell hard wood for home use as soft wood has a tendency to spit embers. if this lands on carpet its known to curse a house fire . I hope this helps.

I'll add the reason I believe my start kit is still going is due to the fact i use high quality 2 stroke at 32 to 1...
