The Grass Was Just A Little Tall...

[@Excitable67]

Just a tad tall! Holy cow! It looked long, but didn't realize HOW long until you made your first pass! Could have baled some of that up as hay! I bet the neighbors are happy to see that lawn whipped back into shape!

[@phyllishalley8972]

I hope you got paid well.....that was a mess..... especially for just one person! Nice job! 🎊🎊

Crazy amount of clippings. This one definitely needs to be cut on a regular basis. Nice looking lawn after its mowed. Great job!

[@earnielovern9044]

That yard definitely looks healthy! Great vid.

[@hrhneenerita]

looks awesome

[@nmumphrey]

Love the instructional stuff. I like it better when y'all mow first. I can see the edging and weed eating better 😋

[@MacDaddyB83]

Looks like that is all new. Those clippings were being launched out of the side. Tells me new blades or just perked back up. Good on you for keeping up with the maintenance of your equipment!

[@BradGump]

I'll trim & edge first on a property that bad, then I blow debris into the yard & away from structures/obstacles, mow it. Then mow again bagging after its rested to dry. Repeat as needed then a final blow. Like you said, you're going to work double at some point.

[@amandaerickson8778]

I hope they hire you for regular mowing. That grass was thick.

[@markmilan01]

Another good reason to mow is so you know the height of the already cut grass and you can level it out accordingly. If you trim first, you may cut way lower than the mower and it may not look as good.

[@darter216]

Great job as always

Damn that first little area near the utilities had more clippings than my entire 3/4 acre yard

[@iitsjustmj]

Hey Sir, How come you didn't use your stand on mower, would it have been easier if so ? or you didn't feel like moving stuff around to get to it n your garage lol

[@noelcahill6707]

U should have a collection machine for them jobs

[@dochubbell]

Dang good job with lots of extra work. Notice your mower went thru some boggy areas on the sides of the house. Can't be avoided and it is too bad the grass got so tall. End result: Job well done and a good looking trimmed lawn. Frankly I would refuse to live in a housing area with an HOA. They are only as good as the folks who run them and too often there are too many a-holes dictating and taking money from the homeowners.

[@23431]

Would you cut in transport height first to knock some of it down? I probably would have. Just a question, no Monday morning quarterbacking from Bucks County, Pa. Love your equipment and setup and truck and trailer. I would really like a chance to use the ventrac they are freaking awesome

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I think if I wanted to just mulch up everything I would. Since I was collecting, cutting it one time only has the benefit of making it easier to gather as the grass blades are longer and knit together more. I don't know if that makes sense. I guess think of straws on the ground, maybe 1,000. If you had to rake them up it would be easier if the straws were normal length, right? But if you cut them in half, it would be harder. If you cut THOSE pieces in half, it would be harder still because the smaller pieces would go everwhere. IDK if I am right, that is just my reasoning! BUT if I wasn't going to gather the clippings, yeah, probably mowing the yard 3 or 4 times going an inch or .75 lower each time would leave the best finish (assuming the yard isn't wet like this side yard and can handle being driven over that many times. Good question!

[@ollie9619]

Lots of grass clippings to haul away. How do you dispose of it; do you take away to mulch, to a tip (rubbish dump) or to be used in some other way. Hope the cost didn’t fall on you! Good work

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I believe that was covered near the end of the video with on screen text.

[@benkenny3220]

19:00 Are you hitting the fence WOT? I really struggle with those white plastic fences. I feel like I'm going to damage them. They're usually right on top of the ground.

[@vman1320]

is there a reason why you cut the grass so short? It has lost its lush green color and now looks brown? What are your thoughts leaving half an inch more of grass to give it that soft, plush yet manicured look?

[@sandrahicks4802]

You have always done a great job. Been watching you from the get go. One question, is it a wet yard? I always waited on cutting my lawn when it was heavy with moisture. Being its in Florida, I know its hard to find a dry day...try Minnesota, anyway, doesn't the lawns get torn up from cutting while wet or is it a special grass?

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Yes, this neighborhood has poor drainage and a lot of the side yards retain water badly.

Awesome video Brad! I love the Ventrac vids, but the lawn maintenance is my favorite! Just one request: could you use the gas Echo equipment more often? On yards like these I especially like to see the gas equipment put through it’s paces.

[@Honestmoneyfirst]

When do you think the edger attachment will wear out like the hedge trimmer attachment and are you thinking about getting trimmer racks for the landscaping trailer?

[@carputtgaming2088]

How do you dispose of the clippings? Do you have to cover them with a tarp before driving to prevent them blowing away?

[@mcdr15]

@Copper Creek Cuts Lawn Care, hey Brad just wondering if you ever experience arm cramps after you’ve weed-eat or edge? My arms will lock up on me a few hours after I’m done edging & I have to use a deep tissue massager to basically get my arms back to normal & I was wondering if you arms cramp up too and/or what you do to avoid the issue if so? I love my ECHO PAS but hate the fallout my arms suffer after use lol

[@brotoubrotou3164]

Put a strap on your trimmer and wear it across your chest. That way your shoulder takes most of the weight. It works

Do you find that gas or battery edgers run better? I'm in MI and have a ryobi battery edger and it just doesn't seem to have enough power to cut our usually thick very hard to dry out sod. Was wondering if it's just ryobi being underpowered or batteries in general.

[@stevenbest6408]

Really nice. 100% Professional work. Maybe in future, they'll mow more frequently to avoid the brown patches? I've hated, in years gone by, to have to explain that, "No, I didn't cut it too short. When it's this tall, the sun is blocked and doesn't react with the chlorophyll down deep so the grass isn't green there. In a week or two it'll be fine". No, you just cut it too dang short. . Whatever. Still, what a nice job and it's great that you've got clients all there in the same neighborhood. Cheers from Texas!

[@toddhill1465]

Hey Brad, I was noticing the Sentricon termite bait station along the perimeter of your client's home. I have that at my house as well and I've damaged a couple of them over the years with my lawnmower. Terminix would always replace them for free if I let them know that one got damaged, but it was still a hassle to have to deal with that. Have you ever had one of those get damaged/ripped out by your mowers while working someone's lawn, and if so were you the one who had to arrange the replacement with the Sentricon vendor or did the customer assume that responsibility?

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Those things are the worst. Especially when the installers don't put them in right. Then you have all these dumb grass bumpouts where you couldn't fit the mower and have to string trim. The times it has happened I say basically what you do, but kind of put it on the customer. I let them know about the damage, it is always because they were installed to high and Terminix should take care of it, BUT if they don't, I will. I let them know that and haven't had any issues. It has happened maybe 3 times over the years.

I don't miss those prickly stickers at all. But the flat fuzzy ones that just stick to your pant legs aren't so bad. Out here in California, foxtails are the enemy. It's just one spikey barb that go through any fabric and pokes you. The worst is getting one stuck in your sock. Not to mention them getting embedded in the carpet of the car.

[@megansmith1382]

Okay it must be just me, however, I feel like it is rather petty to literally mow only your half of like the sidewalk area and right up to the "my half/your half" parts of some of this! Like if the neighbors are having a hard time mowing and that is obvious...... why not knock on the door and ask if they could use a little help 😉 its the neighborly thing to do. When I see this on both sides then to me both those neighbors are just petty!
