I do leave fine grass clippings and I take my blower and fan them out cause grass clippings are natural fertilizer

A few clippings are ok. Thick piles are not. I see it too often. The best fertilizer is, well....fertilizer. 😁

The fact that you don't blow all that stuff back on the yard and pick up the sticks, is why your yard clean up looks way better than others. Great job! Love the T-shirt by the way.

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

[@joeandjudygreen5398]

I see this on every KZbin mowing channel where an uninhabited house is not maintained and the neighbors are so happy for an outsider to mowed and cleanup that pig pen, but the neighborhood won’t to anything about it.

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

The couple on one side used to do it then the owner of the abandoned house got mad at them, so they stopped doing it. The guy on the other side used to do it but he's older and has heart problems so now he can't do it. No neighbor should have to maintain someone else's yard indefinitely. I can see doing it once or twice but not every week. It's hard enough doing one's own yard every week.

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

@@robinhays1011 Not a bad idea.

[@2worlds1hope]

@@UpNorthMowingDudehow do you get paid?

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

@@2worlds1hope I don't get paid from the homeowners. I never ask for that. Typically it's through KZbin based on how many views your video gets, how much people engage on your page with comments and "likes", etc. I also started a "buy me a coffee" account so people can donate there if they're so inclined. Ultimately I'm not worried about the pay. I get a bigger kick out of helping people than a few bucks. I've had $100 bills in my hand and I don't remember any of them personally; but I'll never forget the people I help and the interactions I have with them. Those last a lifetime!

[@Sweetencourager21]

I’m a new subscriber from Canada 🇨🇦. I agreed a 100% when you said you don’t understand why people don’t cut the long grass first before edging. I’ve always asked myself that same question. To me, it would make the job easier. I’m enjoying your videos. Thanks for helping out your community.

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

That's nice Katherine, thank you!

[@debbilermond1553]

Up North Mowing Dude, I'm speechless for the amazing transformation you've done on this yard! I'm close to a perfectionist when it comes to my own yard care and you do the kind of job I would do! It may have been a small yard but this is the most thorough job I've seen on all the YT lawn care channels. Great work!!! 😉😂😍

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

Wow Debbie I really appreciate that!! So nice of you to say. I get bogged down in "details" sometimes, and then sometimes I go to edit and I see something I missed and it makes me crazy! 😂 Well, I'm just glad you liked it.

[@thescrapmeister]

Nice job!

[@leodziados1375]

Omg I have been saying to trim the long stuff before edging drove me crazy 😂

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

Man Leo, I'm so glad I'm not the only one. That really drives me crazy too, because that's not how we'd do our own lawns normally. Not sure why they do that. To each his own I guess. I appreciate the comments!

I see some lawn care pros blow leaves back into the yard so they can pick them up with their grass catcher on their mower.

[@maryloushaw6858]

I'm with you...I never understood why they don't mow it first then edge... because the shorter grass wouldn't get tangled in the edger

Exactly.

[@johnacres4666]

Surprise! Surprise! I hope you know you are showing this video on You Tube! At a certain point they pay you cash money which comes from advertisers showing commercials while your Optical Media Presentations are shown on You Tube! So if hate the media and optics then need a different hobby! You did a good job cleaning up the property even though you did not enjoy it! I SUGGEST since have 50 years in industry take a look at others in business making big money such as The Blessing Boys OR Midlife Stockman who after cleaning a property with waist high grass went to Lowes and bought them a gas can with gas and a new lawnmower so they could keep their lawn mowed! He is so popular he mows every other day for free! They make no statements about optics nor the media!

@@bitteroldman2714 Sorry to say he is not receiving enough viewers for You Tube to pay him anything!

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

Thanks for letting me know how monetization works on YT. That's news to me bro. Most people I don't have to explain this to because they have some sense, but the media I'm referring to are news organizations. KZbin is a video-sharing website, not "media". Google it. And I don't care how often other channels mow or how many mowers or gas cans they buy. I've helped A LOT of people who needed the help and they're really grateful. Then there's you - a dude who was "in the industry for 50 years", which makes you older than the dirt I blow around, and you're angry as hell. You must be a real peach to deal with on a daily basis. Go in the sun and get some vitamin D, it'll make you less cranky.

[@eric_seguin]

Talking crap about others doesn't put you in a good light. It makes you seem small minded. The comments will show your worth. People do different things for different reasons and you don't know all of those reasons. You're a beginner and Johnny Come Lately. Show some respect to those who actually work in the field all day long and take time during a hard day to help others and there community. Even a perfect man would know to keep his opinion to himself. There are people that have a million subs that would never talk down about others. They are not perfect either. You could do a better job but your work passes. Now you know how it feels.

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

😂😂 You're hilarious bro!

Eric, I have a fulltime job as well and do this in my personal free time. What do you mean by a "Johnny Come Lately?" Everyone was a beginner at some point, right? Anyone who "starts something" is a beginner, no?
