Full Service Lawn Care #2 DOUBLEHEADER - POV, Real Time, Raw Audio

[@joshuapearson2857]

So far I've only had the time to watch the mowing, but I will be back to finish! So far, I gotta say, you are one of the few that I've seen who doesn't engage his mower deck at full throttle lol. Glad I'm not the only one. Thanks for posting!

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Haha good eyes/ears to catch that! My manual says not to (engage/disengage blades at full), so I always try to make sure and follow the directions!

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Marathon Watching 8/6/21 Excellent Wider Angle... This should be relaxing 😌 to watch. Thanks Copper Creek! A+++ (soothes my Tourette’s watching these videos)

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

Only watched the mowing part so far but the wider angle is nice. Good video.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Awesome! I'm heading in the right direction! :)

[@TexasRose50]

👍🏻 Another fine job accomplished! :)

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Thank you!

[@TexasRose50]

You are so welcome. :)

Not sure I like the POV camera position. I realize it’s a huge savings in time on-site over use of a tripod, though. Even set for wide screen, our view of your technique is lost. Plus, I enjoy an occasional shot of you talking to the camera - it’s part of your branding.

[@michaelspeakman8924]

You can always get them some paint and paint their grass green or use die it would be awesome I never seen the door that was all dead. They must have sprayed with Roundup

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I don't know what they used, but it worked like a charm! XD

[@BogdansPhotos]

Thanks for the time stamps! You can put them in the description as well and you can click on them on a smartphone

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Very smart! I will start doing that! I should throw them in a comment, too, in case folks don't read the description.

[@DARRENWALKERBIGD]

Looks good wider :)

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Awesome, glad it is getting better! :)

[@ashlinielson2578]

1. I think the neighbors had the repossessed. 2. I thought you were going to edge then trim, then mow so you can go over the scraps of the lawn? Just 🤷‍♀️ confused?

[@ICECREAMK1NG1-jw8ig]

An American on vacation in England, asks an English gardener how he gets his lawn so nice. Well says the English gardener, we cut it regularly, and we fertilise it regularly. That's it asks the American ? Well yes says the English gardener, Just do that for 1,500 years and yours will look nice too.

[@91fox35]

How do you charge for your cuts. See a lot of people do it by size, or just simply charge by how many minutes it takes like 1.00 to 1.50 a minute for a cut

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Early in my first year I found something that talked about a 'dollar a minute' guideline. Lawn Care Millionaire also suggests that as a general rule, billing anything less than $40 per man hour makes it VERY tough to grow your business and have enough funds to do what you need to do. So I felt the $60 an hour range was a good place to start. At the beginning I just plain guessed. Like, I think this yard will take 30 minutes, so $30. After two or three of those I was able to compare the actual time and the square footage and get more scientific. At this point I am strongly targeting two neighborhoods with extremely similar lot sizes so I know my base is $35 for those yards and it goes up based on complexity or corner lots or dogs or blah blah blah. But I still aim for a dollar a minute with most of my estimating, and then add a 20 or 30% buffer depending on the job.

[@91fox35]

That’s exactly what I was thinking, I just wanna do as a part time thing, by the minute charging plus fuel/trimming makes good sense. Thanks for the replies by the way, keep getting that green👍

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Thanks bud! Contact me if you have any other questions, I can give you my completely inexperienced and probably misleading viewpoints! 🤣

[@sanderslawnservice6141]

Have you ever used Echo equipment?

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Hey man, good to hear from you! Been a minute! Only growing up, it is what my dad had for weed-eaters and blowers when I was a teenager and had to do lawn chores :) The stuff I use now was selected only because it was the cheapest that got the job done. I didn't want to spend $$$ to start the business until I knew I would stick with it and until I needed the better equipment.

[@James-uc2nd]

Good video and work! what happened to the neighbours yard?

[@eiserntorsphantomoftheoper2154]

They sprayed herbicide on it. They are going to put in new sod.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Ima has it. It is tough to see but there were several large landscape beds that were removed. The lawn and grass that was left was pretty low quality, and the new homeowners wanted to just start over. So like Ima said, they torched it to lay down new sod.

[@jonesjames89]

Looks like the first houses next door yard caught on fire!!

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Close, I think they killed it all off to put new sod in.

[@91fox35]

Adjust the steering arms to get them even

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Haha, you noticed they were off kilter? Another minor issue that has gotten worse over time.

[@91fox35]

First thing I had to do to mine, I got the raptor sd, broke the struts on second mow

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Haha! They are decent mowers for homeowners, but when used commercial come with a lot of little fixes that need to be done. Had the deck drop yet?

[@91fox35]

Copper Creek Cuts no air, I’ve got the 60, it mounts a little different

[@aaronslawncareservices6068]

Nice videos!! Do you work alone?

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I do! Sometimes my wife helps, but not often. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Bradmeiser]

That would bug the hell out of having that big ass power box in my front yard like that.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

That thing takes up some serious real estate.

[@sebastianmireles2759]

how much would you normally charge to do a job like that?

[@CopperCreekCuts]

PM me or email [e-mail]! :)

[@Bradmeiser]

Somebody burned the hell out of that yard. Me personally i like to use big rolls of black poly film then a nice dethatch to collect all the deadstuff then onto some deep aerations and heavy overseeding.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Oh yeah man, it is toast for sure!

[@pamm2230]

Please explain why you seem to do everything opposite of how best it should be done? By edging first, trimming around known areas that the mower can't get to and then mowing which clears up a lot of the grasses trimmed you then finish with blowing the pavement areas. In some cases you can blow the trimmings into the grass area to be cut up by the mower thus not having large amounts of the trimmings that are then blown into the yards. Just my observation of several of your videos. If I were any of those customers I would be complaining for sure of your sequence of workings.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Thanks for the feedback! This was a weekly and bi-weekly account, so nothing was overgrown (which would mean very large clippings from string trimming/edging). Additionally, here in Florida grass clippings disappear in a matter of hours, so there is little risk of complaints by mowing first, string trimming, edging, then blowing.

[@ulysses9537]

What are you average prices for most lawns

[@CopperCreekCuts]

$35 is my starting price for lots (turf+house) that are near a quarter acre. I try not to get yards much larger than that since I am not a good value on bigger yards due to my 36" mower.

[@hatterassportmechanic5621]

Smaller yard smaller machine.simple sense.no bagging just blow.i think you may want to try that.this yard is not made for riders.

[@cloroxbleach7262]

Did anyone else notice that as he mowed, the lawn looked less green?

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Yeah, a curious side effect of mowing while it is a little dormant! :)

Why do we see the worst ones.show the primo ones.that takes more than brush cut.reel mowing manicure

[@CopperCreekCuts]

I don't find them very enjoyable to film. I have done a few, but I feel like the overgrown stuff gets more views.

[@thorstenludwig7871]

[@eiserntorsphantomoftheoper2154]

Wider is better.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

....was that a setup for 'that's what she said'?
