Excellent advice! In this day and age people seem to want to argue about anything. There's only so much you can do to a lawn to make it great. Some of the best lawns I've seen still have problems.

[@zaineridling]

You are RIGHT on every point according to my experience! I am that guy who (years back) bought a good ExMark commercial mower for my corner lot yard, and I cut/trim it to perfection every 7-14 days. But as you note, I have the time. Have always admired the pro's speed, efficiency, and sheer SKILL with a trimmer. I can trim like you, but it takes me three times longer to make sure I don't gouge the lines. Appreciate your channel so much over the years. Thank you!

Thank you for the comment and watching my videos

[@groundeffects3032]

Can definitely relate. Especially the over watering and "why do I have patches in my lawn" question. I have a customer who'll go behind me applying herbicides because it isn't happening quick enough for him. Going on my 21st year, and I've experienced some of it all.

Great video! Pride and joy goes a long way in any occupation or hobby

Been treating yards for 3 years, unless its dealing with french drains (which i dont deal with) homeowners haven’t taught me a thing other than they don’t know how to mow bermuda and refuse to cut it at the right height

“Some enjoy it a little too much” enter Allyn Hane 😂

[@arnoldmarcus3634]

I love your videos. There absolutely is skill in all motor skills in pros vs hobby. There’s definitely a balance between perfection and good enough. On your final point of joy in work, lots of research shows extrinsic reward (money) reduces motivation. Wish you’d use a trimmer guard (seen a few mishaps from tools without guards) but to each their own. Keep doing your thing!

[@Rick-se5qm]

LOL I resemble that remark. Well to be honest I have two hobbies, the other is watching your channel to compete with my neighbor, whose lawn is like a golf course.

[@jackiejones5037]

💯 correct Jason!!!!! Keep keeping it 💯 percent real with folks!!!! Either you do it or they do ot themselves!!!!

[@mikeross2972]

Great video...had me cracking up with the feeding the weeds comment and the reel mower guys comment.

[@garysmith5000]

I don't have a lot of yards. I treat every yard like it's mine. I tell my customers this and unless they want something different- it's their money after all- I will treat each yard like I own it.

[@Fetner58]

That’s the best way to do it in my opinion. Do a good job and most people don’t mind paying more for your work

[@roadkill2000]

whats the best thing to get rid of sand bers aka stickers?

[@leeroyjenkins422]

Great tips! Tks!

[@grayfox9911]

Great advice. People that over irrigate just kill me. Here in the Pacific NW…we really don’t need to irrigate until July. We tell our customers that their yard needs season change too. The places that irrigate constantly are a drag because it’s “perpetual spring”. It’s heavy every single week and it’s a lot more work. We tend to separate ourselves from that type of customer.
