[@nextlevellawncareservices]

Use to work 8 hours a day for a local landscaping company and first thing i would do when i came home was watch yall videos …. Year later started my own buisness and now i got 20-25 accounts and growing everyday ….. Aurora Ohio 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@cinforammi8543]

Hell yeah I’m doing the same thing in Kent oh area

[@doribellan]

Great job, guys!

[@lisamacdonald3618]

[@edpoints1127]

The good thing is TORO owns VENTRAC. AND they are located in Ohio. A Ventrac would handle that hill at the church and other tasks you come across in your business. Spencer Lawn care seems to be expanding where such a piece of versatile equipment would be very valuable. That would also give you time to take down your Christmas decorations. Great video.

[@benfields7556]

Amen Shawn! The Lord always works like that! Praise be to God He has Risen!!!!!

[@carlsvec6317]

$1450 first mow after that $1100 weekly with bi weekly trimming, there are alot of trees and signs to take into consideration so trimming could be time consuming. NOTHING LESS !

[@Davido50]

It's a church dude! They should get a discounted price.

[@TheMrsSaito]

I disagree. If they can own that property, pay the taxes and maintain the building, fence and playground, they can afford to pay someone properly to maintain it.

[@lolacupcake9415]

Not to mention if each church person gives 10% of tithe like they should they should have the money

[@bradleyrhodes2820]

He said 350 if it was flat. Your adding over $1,000 for some hills. Your nuts

[@donaldgarrison4313]

Looking Great Great job Guys !! Naples?FL

[@tameliacowan2312]

Whoa, that church was very, very large and may need extra hands to get the job done. Awesome to receive a lot of estimates to get the mowing season started. As always be safe and praying for you both and your family 🙏🙏🙏

I hope you get all of that work that you bid today. Good video as always. Keep mowing keep growing keep making money.

[@michellebonerigo3645]

i live in central ohio and would never leave those plows out. they could disappear quickly. you should consider some locks for them

Rain makes the grass grow so you guys can make moey. God bless you and your family.🙏🤗

[@michaelbeelby1995]

One of my first jobs was summer grounds crew on a high end local golf course. One way we made short work of steep banks with tight spaces, like the hill with the fence, was to drill an eyebolt hole into one corner of a push mower deck and tie a rope to the eyebolt and the other end to the mower handle. You start the mower on the flat top, mow the first strip, then use the rope while standing at the top of the hill to drag the mower back and forth as you let it down the hill. Not the most fun, nor the easiest job to get ( there was worse ones like filling the pond pumps with diesel fuel or weedwhacking all the drainages ) but it made what seemed impossible or difficult much much easier in the long run.

[@joanncounterman625]

Beautiful lawn and property but so huge! Wow!

[@happysfamilywnc]

Nice vid! That is a big property. The best mower for them hills would be a walk behind. Thats what we use on steep hills In the mountains.

[@Bigboyz-li7fo]

Hey Carl and Rachel a lot of people suggesting Ventrac and I don't think even a Ventrac would hold that slope. That is much greater than the 30 degrees Ventrac guarantees.

[@happysfamilywnc]

@@Bigboyz-li7fo yea a Ventrac would be a big investment for one property and that hill looked steep to me. We mow a lot of hills so a walk behind is a must here and makes hills safe and easy but again for one property that’s even an investment.

[@Bigboyz-li7fo]

@@happysfamilywnc I'm a dare-devil so I would demo a dual-wheeled Wright ZK or Altoz TSX on it. Now that I think about it, there's no chance I'm putting a sit-down machine on that hill. Walk behind or stand-on only.

[@Blackbird46]

I hope y'all get all the estimates. If not hopefully y'all get the big church. That's gonna make some great content and awesome stripes.

[@MrAntney45]

Can someone please take the camera from this guy he loves his voice so much no one can get in a word.

[@254zero]

Those hills are nuts. Makes my sloped yard look flat

[@cinforammi8543]

I’d only do it for a contract and it wouldn’t be less than 40k a year for the mowing and bi weekly trimming. If I get it great if not oh well that’s a hell of a lot of work every week.

[@alexkuteron5775]

I don’t do hills because it’s too hard on mower drives especially in the heat, and hard for employees caring trimmers up and down when it’s a 100 degrees

[@willspropertyservice438]

Great video as also. Hope you and TQ land the job. Those are always a blessing to get if you get the pricing you want. At least 3 people to knock out. Alot of trimming. I would say 1000 to 1200 aweek on cutting and trimming?. Not as good bidding let but working on that part of business. Have other guy helping and advice.When i have concerns. Good luck and be safe. Working on growing the grass cutting business this year. I do maintenance on 200 rental properties for over 30yrs. Alway enjoy watching the videos and your journey.

[@mygrammieis]

Amazing Work thanks for sharing this video.. 💯✊

[@Brendan_Kool]

In my area Fresno California, houses are being built faster then I can blink an eye. They are as close together as possible. They all require a 30 or 21in push mower to get in the gate. The lawns are tiny and take max 10min to mow. I have to remove the trash cans from the side yard to get the mower in the back yard.

[@stephensmith6003]

You probably already know cheap weed and grass killer dawn+vinegar+salt+water mix in pump sprayer works pretty dang good and non toxic for your gravel area in the storage place

[@justinhamilton3336]

we had 2 places i did when i did landscaping when i was younger had huge steep hills like that one and we usaed these old floating mowers worked like hover crafts was one of the coolest things i had ever seen

[@jasons5607]

I would say 4 to 6 hrs with 3 to 4 people. 2 mowing full time and 2 weed whipping. Minimum $1200.00 a week for mowing. Great video as always.

[@Davido50]

No way man! Church isn't paying that much. Ridiculous .

[@tommymann69]

I would put a scag walk behind on that hill . But it would have to be very dry

[@YKorNL]

Whooooaaa.. that area is HUGE!

[@retired55.]

[@terrancesnyder9323]

Good morning & God bless you all

[@AshbyAcres]

Could you use a hover-type push mower like the golf course use on their crazy steep slopes?

[@robinfields5745]

I agree church would be a tough mow 1,000 to 1,200 each mow It’s a good days work for two people Or you need bigger equipment to cut down on labor / than you have to pay for the equipment

[@GriffinServices]

I live in Central VA, that church property would be $1200 - $1400 per visit. The slope below the building and parking area will be a workout.

[@travenrodriguez4769]

Y'all are getting "too much rain" and we haven't gotten a good train in months. Please send some to West Texas! Like always great work!

[@Bigboyz-li7fo]

Shawn, put a Turf Tracer 48 on that hill and roll on. My quote on that property with bi-weekly trimming would be $900.

[@brianspurrell3348]

Feel your pain. Here in Atlantic Canada we never say winter is over till the 20th of May. Really sucks. But then you can plant and mow. Love following you all. Keep em coming.

[@bruceslawncarenist9234]

Can’t wait for it to dry out to get started . Hope you get that big property if you do your are more than welcome to use my 52 inch walk behind on that hill I’m pretty sure it will hold that hill

[@michaelbradway3533]

We lost 5 big properties and gained 2 small ones. I would say on the big church $850 - 900 with trimming.

[@davidhartung6784]

I think an estimate for that property would be for a full day and 3 person crew. With that said I would say somewhere in the $1400-1600 per service especially with that hill by the play yard.

[@TheRadioactiveHeat]

We have plenty of hills like the one by the playground in my area. That is one of the main reasons I have at least one walk behind on my trailer at all times. It is a little different for me since I am solo, but still a necessity for me.

[@mattg4294]

Agreed, I did hills like that with a 52" or 48" walk behind.

[@TheRadioactiveHeat]

Always run big hills horizontal, start from the bottom work your way up, you’d be surprised how well a grandstand will hold the hill when you shift your weight

[@jacobcvpi8279]

Judging off the video, I’d be willing to bet you can put a mower on all those hills. I’ve put my ZK on some really steep stuff I’d normally have to trim. But, I know video doesn’t come off too good.

[@brucechapman5553]

That church looks like a team job possibly. I’d say 1000-1500 at least per cutting.A lot of trimming on that property too. Definitely gonna take a bit of time to do That property. Especially the hill by the playground. 40,000 in bids is definitely a productive day without a doubt. Keep up the great work y’all!!!

[@johngrossbohlin7582]

Something else to put on the list: At about 3:15 it looks like water may be going under the doors of units 4 and 5.... There is a seam in the gutter there. See if it is leaking?! 😉 That church demands a new Ventrac with mower purchase!

[@andrewb941]

Dang a big place like that I'm surprised they don't have alteast one full time maintenance employee between all the mowing and other upkeep.. 1500ish weekly

[@nathanbrodeur]

Shawn for me just one person I would first advise the potential customer on spots that need to be fixed like the very steep slopes by the playground on doing a terrace block retaining wall on a property that big having equipment that has air conditioning would be a must have cause heat stroke is a serious issue that productivity would go down if not having air conditioning on a mower the fuel usage would be a big charge of having to go back to the truck multiple times that property would be a full day so charge a daily rate from between $1,500.00 to $2,000.00 cause the mowers eat a good amount of fuel more that the sure cans hold

[@dshares]

I would just price it out at whatver hourly rate you want to achieve for yourself plus your workers. So if you think 5 hours, let’s say $100 per hour, with three workers mowing, trimming, etc, you’re looking at $1500 per mow maybe once every two weeks so $3K monthly maybe give them a break at $2800 monthly for an annual contract.

[@farlee2634]

I got yards with hills stepper than that. However I use a tractor mower also.

[@Hillsidelanscapemanagement]

I'm happy that you see the Lord at work in your lives. One thought, even though your boots are sinking, your mower shouldn't. The average male puts between 8-12psi on the ground while walking. The grandstands put between 3-5psi

You've got a lot of equipment but I don't think you've got the right equipment for that big church property. We make a profit in this business through efficiency. If you don't need the business I would thank them for reaching out but decline to bid. That property will fit with a business that's set up equipmentwise to address those challenges. For the size of your business and the limited amount of production you're getting out of your current lawnmower fleet I wouldn't recommend acquiring yet another piece of equipment.

[@JimVincitore]

[@jeffreyshuster7076]

I could be way off, but my man hour rate is 65/hour. If it takes 3 people 4 hours to service you got 65×3= $195/hour. Multiply that by 4 hours is $780 per service. Comes to $3120/month weekly cut. Again, not sure if I'm even in your ball park, but I operate in Warren Ohio.
