Good see there's still real standup Men out here,Bro! 🙏

Holy crap a southern bell ginger. NO SOUL.

I cut my yard myself but I hate doing it sooio much. It sucks ...i can't afford to pay somebody to do it. And yeah bro...i agree with what you're saying....it seems kind of rude to have multiple people there at the same time for an estimate. Whoever that was that pissed you off may have been trying to give you some constructive criticism ...to help you out..bro if you make a video about something and post it on KZbin you can't get mad when people chime in with their opinions.

Hey brother! Just found your channel and subscribed. New Hope Cutz and I are brothers from different mothers. I've been in business for 25 years, and I have never bagged clippings, and never will. I am a FIRM BELIEVER in putting the nutrients back into the ground. THAT is the tid bit of info that customers do not understand, and it's our job as the "pros" to inform them that the practice of removing all organic material is a huge detriment to their lawn. If need be, provide them printed information from credible sources that they can read that confirm what you've told them. I mulch EVERYTHING from lawn clippings to leaves and some pinestraw. Any material that falls to the ground, even lawn clippings, add netrients to the ground. After I mulch them, I use my gravely machines to spread the clippings. When we're finished, you CAN NOT see them. JMO, but bagging adds weight to the machine and, over time, will leave brown streaks and will accentuate the brown streaks in the grass. I don't know what state you're in, you sound like you a southerner. I'm in NC, 22 miles east of Ft. Bragg. We have a modge podge of grasses, including zoisa, bermuda, centipede, fescue, rye, bahia, and St. Augustine. I don't bag any of them. I chose to show my customers the benefits of leaving the clippings and letting nature do its job. Good luck with your channel and your business.

Year one get it paid for stack profits year 2 with it.

I need that hat.

dirty hands, clean money cuz.. lol

LOL no email for me, I will just knock on the door lol Let me in man... That's crazy that folks would do that though

Hi dear, how are you doing.

Always know ur worth seems like u do

Go Dawgs 🔴⚫️

I do fence in Pittsburgh pa I have license insured

I did logistics for the No.1 Ct. Cummins and Kohler generator installers from 8kw to 1 meg. I did the 8 to 60K. We were very well know and often contacted by the state and municipalities looking for quotes. Well, we stop giving them out. We told them all that we will not be the lowest. Actually we'll probably be the highest and you only accept the low bidder. They wanted it anyway because statue requires 3 bids. A quality bid was very time consuming. They all eventually stop calling.

Timthetatman does landscaping too? 🤪

I usually get 3 quotes for any work I need done that I am not able to perform. Like roof tree service...I don't shop for the best price per se but I do let them all know I am getting 3 estimates. I don't have contractors come at the same time ever but like I said I do let them know about other estimates. I like to meet them ask some questions and try and get a feel for their character. Sometimes the lowest price doesn't mean quality work. I think it's silly to think we are not competing for work as I am self employed as well.

So I’m still part time but I still present a professional look and act professionally. My truck is clean, my trailer and equipment is clean. I’ve got equipment defender racks on the trailer. I wear hats with my business logo, shirts with the business logo, website and phone number. I take a lot of pride in myself and what I do and have way too much money tied up into everything not to be professional.

I live in NC and I was told by the city, my tax person and insurance agent that I’m not required to have a license for lawn service. I do have a $2 million dollar insurance policy. I’m currently using my personal auto insurance for my truck but next year I’m putting that truck on a commercial auto policy.

I want everyone at the same time. That way, everyone can hear the same scope of work and bid appropriately.

interesting. I hope he finds the good-looking cheap grass guy. Honestly, I hate it when I see customers judge someone by the appearance. If the guy is not stealing, smoking crack on the job, and does a good job, then why judge their appearance. The guy gave you the price you wanted and gave you great service, did not tear of anything. Then what's the problem. People don't understand someone else's situation by the way they look. maybe the guy has a bill to pay and just needs to get the work.. I tell people don't judge a book by its cover. What the guy should have done is offer him a leg up and offer of getting him some shirts, or shoes. Be the helping hand vs the judgmental eye!

I had the same thing happen to me I own a plumbing business I told the other plumber just take the job. Found out later he did not get the job either.

this is where you need that dump trailer to hold that crap out..

I would still give the quote. At the eod we all do it.

Understand just where your’re coming from

Your dump could be turning leaves and grass into compost and selling that. Also, maybe thats how they are lowering the price for you because you're bringing them the supplies.Enjoy your train of thought and ethics.You should also checkout grasshopper mowers and their hard shell grass catcher ive owned Snapper Pro and scag and on my second grasshopper mower cant convenience me anything cuts prettier.Happy Holidays!

Keep goin Bob Barker lol. 😅

man you need to get you a gopro lol

Great conversation

I normally will give a phone call and then I have a 10 day grace period after that if payment hasn't been received I stop service until further notice for the customer

I have for sure had price anxiety lol it sucks but always got to charge whats best for your company

Mema always said don’t shop with your own wallet.. SEND THAT QUOTE!!

Good chatting with you today.. Keepcuttin in side cause its still raining lol

I’m a retired gardener. I live in a Log Cabin under giant Redwoods, coastal mountains N/W of Monterey Bay, California. I was the gardener of many rich and famous in Southern California, made big money…maybe too much! Got addicted to crack/alcohol, lost it all. Got sober, 30+ years, recovered my marriage, family and career. I had a State Pesticide Applicators License, that open a lot of doors after my failure. Moved north, landed a job a Lead Gardener for the second wealthiest County in the nation. I didn’t want to try to open a business her in this area, too many left wing hippies afraid of chemicals. Didn’t want to go the civil service route but it was a choice I had to make to provide for family. Anyway, I tell any young guy I meet trying to find his way in life, get a lawn mower, weed wacker and blower, start knocking on doors, keep the greenest lawn in the block and your business will grow. It is hard work but I made college degree money gardening.🇺🇸🙏⛰🌲

Trying to decide between this or accelerator XL with 6.2 capacity vs 4.4.. do you think the quality is just as good for $200 difference ? I only have 5 acres with about 7 pecan trees really only need it for collecting clippings and leaves for compost. What would you suggest? Don't want to get off every 5 min if I can add 2 cubic feet and that would help.what would you do in your experience? And if the accelerator would keep me from Duct taping up the back Georgia boy here also!! So we know dust but the grasshopper has reduced that vs the crap Scag I had.

Business is slow right now. People are looking, just not buying. It is the time we live in.

I was waiting for the down time/ slow time of the season guilt We all get it and every year its the same. First 2 to 3 weeks in November suck . Then its a mad rush to get cleanups done before the weather turns .Long island here .

how many hours you got on that 36? I burn corn oil in everything

I hear you. The customer can want something all they want...but its my business, and I tell them how its ran. They can average it out yearly, but if they change there mind or something happens, like you just experienced... you lose, not them.

All of my commercial properties pay after the month is over for all services that was done that previous month. My residential properties pay per service each time. I haven’t found anyone that wants to do 12 monthly billing installments. I did want to but I was afraid I’d get burnt like you did, intentionally or not. Do you have a list of policies you give customers? I do but I’m not sure if I need a lawyer to look over it.

go rent a commercial one for that same price and do it one time to see if you like it.. that one at home depot is a waist of money if it is plastic

I'm in the same boat. Sure, it will make those jobs go easier and faster. The thing is, I don't have enough of those jobs in my head to justify the purchase or the space to store it. It would be nice though, lol

Sometimes I will reach into a bed with a weedeater, and clean some stuff up. Typically, anything in the beds is an upcharge. This lady sounds like she will never be happy. Once a customer has a problem with me or visa versa, it's just a matter of time before that relationship is over. I love hearing these stories, crazy people crack me up. Sounds like Savannah area has a few nuts, but they are everywhere.

depending the setup I have with the customer, i will include that at an extra charge.

man you need to stop foolin with them folks over there in Champions Retreat lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

One guy owes me $80. He’s always late. I’ve never charged a late fee but I’m not going back out there for service until I’m paid. This guy has went through about 6 lawn guys in 5 years. He told me this himself. He wants to talk 20 mins each service about what he would like done but all he is doing is wasting time. I didn’t need this guy but I wanted to be in that neighborhood. He literally has the worst yard in the neighborhood. Next year is a no go for me and that property.

I’ve got a qwikchute and I know it’s not a a mulching system but I use it to mulch leaves all of the time. When I’m done, you wouldn’t know the leaves were there.

I enjoy your videos, haters are gonna hate. Keep speaking your mind!!!

if they don't pay after a good attempt then i will let them go until they paid and then from then on it is pre pay

i work with a customer on payment sometimes.. i only had one bad experience with a no pay but that's it.. i take it one situation at a time and as of late it has been working for me..
