Hey brother! Just found your channel and subscribed. New Hope Cutz and I are brothers from different mothers. I've been in business for 25 years, and I have never bagged clippings, and never will. I am a FIRM BELIEVER in putting the nutrients back into the ground. THAT is the tid bit of info that customers do not understand, and it's our job as the "pros" to inform them that the practice of removing all organic material is a huge detriment to their lawn. If need be, provide them printed information from credible sources that they can read that confirm what you've told them. I mulch EVERYTHING from lawn clippings to leaves and some pinestraw. Any material that falls to the ground, even lawn clippings, add netrients to the ground. After I mulch them, I use my gravely machines to spread the clippings. When we're finished, you CAN NOT see them. JMO, but bagging adds weight to the machine and, over time, will leave brown streaks and will accentuate the brown streaks in the grass. I don't know what state you're in, you sound like you a southerner. I'm in NC, 22 miles east of Ft. Bragg. We have a modge podge of grasses, including zoisa, bermuda, centipede, fescue, rye, bahia, and St. Augustine. I don't bag any of them. I chose to show my customers the benefits of leaving the clippings and letting nature do its job. Good luck with your channel and your business.

@BigSouthOutdoorsTV i get it, but I've tried all of that. I agree with you 100%, but like the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink it. There are a lot of white-collar folks in my area that know nothing at all about lawn care, and when you present them with facts, the main response is "my kids play outside, and I don't want them tracking grass clippings in" or "my pet is allergic to grass clippings". If I don't bag, I won't make money. It's frustrating.

@tankslawnmaintenance5230 I know exactly where you are. Yes, it's frustrating, but don't do what I've done sooooo many times. Do what the customer asks, you invest the money to accommodate their request, only to have them hire someone else. That's why I stopped going out of my way, spending access money to purchase additional equipment.

@BigSouthOutdoorsTV i definitely understand that, as I've been bitten by that as well. There's a very large market for bagging here.
