Homeowner DESERTED By Her Old Lawn Guy Calls Me For HELP

A few days ago, I had a homeowner (now customer) reach out to me in need of some serious lawn help. She told me that she hadn't had her lawn mowed for over a month now due to being deserted by her old lawn guy. The guy promised her many times that he would show up and never did, causing her grass to grow over 2 feet long in her backyard. The front yard wasn't too bad. She said she was doubting that I would want to take on the backyard (not sure why). I said I had to check it out and glad I did, because it was definitely video worthy for you guys.
I didn't ask about the front but I believe either her or her neighbors had been helping her mow the front yard. The backyard definitely put the STARIS to the test... and it passed! Enjoy :)

One thing you do that most of your YT competitors don't do, that I think is admirable, is that you pick up the cuttings. You bag all the grass cuttings, and that puts a professional touch on your work.

[@jaxsonr8256]

You are right about that, but not bagging your stuff can be good. When a lawn is overgrown, if you cut it down it gets all patchy. Grass cutting are a good fertilizer so though yes you are so right about that, it is also decently good to leave the clippings

[@stephanienichols3835]

[@timbert4672]

I love jobs like that on nice sunny days, I really like that side chucker stand on mower you've got with the detachable box, that would be awesome on some of the communal/commercial jobs we get with housing associations and whatnot where things tend to get neglected.

[@Robert-S-]

Would love to see a follow-up video after a few months of being regularly maintained, that backyard looks like it will fill back in nicely. Turned out wonderful, makes you wonder why the previous guy gave up on it, really didn't look like a particularly tedious layout, especially if you can trim up a few of the lower branches of the trees. His loss, your gain!

[@fillslawncare]

That's right Robert. I will consider that video idea :)

[@debbiethibodeau2805]

Robert S. I can tell you why it's the DOGS! I noticed during the ENTIRE video that the dogs where running back & forth in their dog run. Although the guy from Fill's Lawn Care didn't seem the least bit nervous working around them (as the dogs ran back & forth & barked ) 'm sure that the previous lawn guy must of had some issues with that. My family owns two miniature poodles and it's extremely important to keep them OUT of the yard when our lawn fertilizer & bug guy maintenance companies are working IN our backyard. Plus, when we do our own mowing & weed whacking our rule is NO DOGS IN fenced in BACKYARD. If they need to go to do their "bathroom business" we take them out on long leashes in our non fenced in front yard. Our property is on a corner cul-da-sac and it's a 1/2 acre property. Our backyard is the biggest part of our property.

[@Jakeplayz659]

My thoughts as well.

The other could have had health issues, I used to mow a neighbors lawn and I had to quit because it was getting too hard for me.

Oh and I also want to compliment you on the fancy video shots you gave us.

When I saw that side gate I thought, will Fill make it through there this week !! 11:30 amazing effect. With this kind of yard you really do have to tackle it twice, once to get it to a manageable state to work on, then again for the mowing/edging. Great job as usual Fill. God bless brother.

[@shqa574]

LOL I had the same thought about the side gate.

[@builtontherockhomestead9390]

Simular thing happened to me. My AC broke on a Saturday. Called the only local Hvac repairman as I live out in the boonies. He came, said I needed a new switch, and showed us what to do to over-ride the system if it shuts off again, which it did multiple times. I offered to pay him but he told me to wait tell the switch comes in and left. Never heard from him again. I called repeatedly but he ignored all my calls. I finally found someone else that helped get the AC part. A friend ran into this guy months later and asked why he ghosted me. Guy claimed he couldn't get the part, which was a lie as this was a universal part that works in all AC's and sold everywhere. He never did get paid for the trip to my house, which is out of town. I've heard since he does the same thing to businesses and others all the time. Everyone uses companies now that charge $100 travel fee just to get to your house due to the distance. But least these companies show up. I just don't get this behavior. If that gardener no longer wanted to do this lady's yard, just tell her.

[@mcm2802]

[@maxxcherry6955]

Hi Fill, what I like most about your videos is the fact you can help someone that needs it. What I enjoy most is when you use the mowers , an especially the zero turn mowers. Growing up my folks had a huge property which I had to maintain with push mowers . Wore out four of them in the process. Good exercise I guess but a lawn tractor or a zero turn mower would have made my life a lot easier !

It looks like the front yard was cut at one level and the back yard a bit higher. It could also be different grasses in the front compared to the back. Back yard seems to have more 'rubbish' in it than front. That would make the differences in the lengths of the grass. Either way, it looks so much better now. 😁😁🌹🌹
