I Made A ROOKIE Mistake While MOWING This Overgrown Yard

I had one of my customers call me and ask if I could add another property to our weekly lawn care route. We are already servicing one property for him nearby. When I walked around the property, I noticed that the edges were not kept up by the previous lawn care contractor. The homeowner said it was last cut 2 weeks ago. I made a rookie mistake while mowing this overgrown yard. I forgot to inspect by lawn mower blades. One of them was bent and I only noticed when I went home and serviced the machine. We all make mistakes... It's ok though. The yard looks immaculate now :)

Was a nice change of pace. Watching a lawn being mowed with out having a dust storm

[@kristineguetschow9134]

True! 😁

[@crforfreedom7407]

Some of these good lawn KZbinrs live in the old dustbowl area: Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, etc. The entire SW along with much of CA is experiencing a deep draught. That powdery soil really blows when it's dry...

[@colliemom8359]

@@crforfreedom7407 i live in southeastern Iowa. I havent had to mow my lawn in over 3 months. we just last night got a nice rain storm. So fingers crossed we'll get some more to help the grass before winter hits

[@crforfreedom7407]

@@colliemom8359 Yeah I'm praying for you guys. I know draughts happen, I know this one is bad and I know that SOME TIME it has to end, but wow. Getting just a taste of what our grandparents felt in the 1930s. But just a taste... We've been blessed in Ohio and Michigan.

[@Helenr67545p]

Agree wholeheartedly

[@spud1ism]

Gosh! I just love watching you work. Friends thought I was nuts...but I got them hooked on it also. Thank you for my joy.😅

[@builtontherockhomestead9390]

Lucy Edwards, blind KZbinr, recently posted a video complaining of trees/bushes growing in the sidewalk area. Her guide dog has trouble telling that she will walk into those branches. So on behalf of blind people, thank you for removing those low tree branches.

[@SousChef77]

Bless your heart. I always told our employees: "The one who doesn't make an occasional mistake, is the one who isn't doing anything." Honest mistakes happen. Still looked much better than it did when you got there.

[@karenheartoriginal3783]

Oh how refreshing to be 'back to normal' with nice green semi-maintained lawns. My sinuses hurt just watching those dusty overgrown dead plant makeovers…and truthfully I much prefer the sound of a mower over the weed eater, so thank you!! Congrats on the new client & blessings to you!

[@carolmccorry3053]

Fill you always do first rate work, it's lovely to watch

[@Flavum]

Kudos to you for using a catcher and taking the clippings. Too many "slash and run" channels on KZbin.

[@kristineguetschow9134]

And the statement “well, it looks better than it did” by the slash and run mowers. I don’t think any customer asks for a job that’s better than it was. A hired professional should do a professional job.

[@skipbanwell4614]

Totally understandable not wanting to mow dead grass and dirt. You do great work. I never would have guessed that I would watch hours of a guy mowing lawns. But it's very therapeutic to me. Thanks and god bless you for what you do.

[@kristineguetschow9134]

I was asked why I would choose to watch YT videos of people mowing grass. All I could say was that I liked watching them. I must remember to tell anyone asking that I find it therapeutic so they don’t give me that “Okaaaay!” look.

[@karengossett1475]

I am grateful for the motivation and inspiration! Started watching these channels after I retired and now my yard has never looked better 👍😂

[@dotmurphy7279]

Or you could tell them you just luv all those power tools and your learning how to use them the most efficiently and planning what to get next to use in your yard. Some of those tools would be real handy down in the country in the old family cemetery.

[@scottneff1030]

Even with a bent blade, the yard came out great. Well done Fill!!!!!!

[@traceyspad01]

I love how you clean/trim up the trees.

[@user-mj1de1bl2k]

You know, Fill, it’s like anyone else, you notice especially because it’s your specialty. The rest of us beginners think it looks great!

[@ruthstory2277]

I would never have noticed the uneven cut if you hadn't said something. It looks great to me! Glad you are taking a break from the dead ,dusty yards. ❤️🙏❤️

[@karengossett1475]

While I enjoyed the beautiful green grass what I am the most impressed by is...YOU do the same meticulous job for a paying customer as you do for your free service! Just simply adore you 🙏❤️

[@jeffreyrobert9460]

It’s good to see a video of some reasonably kept property with a green lawn. Satisfying

[@sandraprudames4098]

It was really nice to see you cut a green lawn your health is important stay away from the dry ones until you get some steady rain.

[@usmadgirl3074]

Fill, it WAS nice seeing some real green grass being mowed & still being green after it's mowed! The same thing happened to my "built in" lawn guy & also our neighbor with the bent blades! The guys in Arkansas have been mowing "dust bowls" too & some of the guys in Australia. Aussies have EVIL grasses - Kikuyu & couch! That stuff EATS huge objects! It's unbelievable! God bless you & I'll be waiting for your next video whenever that happens!🙏😊🤗 Wish you were in SE Tennessee. Hubby broke his left ankle on the outside & fractured it on the inside at work on Tues after Labor Day & had to have a pin & plate put in Friday so our yard hasn't been mowed in 3 weekends now! 😒

[@Nalla762]

Great Jackery product! Happy that they are sponsoring this video. Fill, I really like that you start off with the weed wacker; others just hop onto their mowers first, but you eliminate the edges first. Makes for a cleaner cut when you do. Thank you for this anticipated video! 💖👍

[@sallyhobkirk5783]

Fill, I enjoy your channel because I was in the business for years and you are an inspiration to the industry. You trim then cut. I think this is the proper way of doing lawn maintenance. Keep up the good work. John

[@DancerOfClouds]

Green is a pleasant suprise. Bit of a bummer with the bent blade. Your content is always good, just keep doing what you are doing and as you said, your health is more important than an overgrown lawn. God bless you too!

[@butler386]

Love the message at the end--Go Be a blessing to someone. Great job on the lawn. Stay healthy. Thanks for the videos.

[@ricardomarmol1257]

Hi Fills. Not only I Love your lawn care videos. But I think you are a very special person, because you take care of all these people in need. They can't take care of their properties because of their medical condition. You are a very special individual that sooner than later you deserves to be compensated . God knows that you have a big heart. And the Lord will bless you immensely. You are my favorite KZbinr video that stands above the rest on this channel. May the mighty God bless you and your beautiful family. Congratulations on a job well done.

[@j.maxwell8764]

I like the running commentary and I like regular yards. Do what you want. You're doing all the work while we sit in our recliners watching 👀😉. Excellent PBS series on how to mow grass.🤠

You always do a fantastic job. This is a beautiful property and you made the beauty of it shine.

We need more rain but I’m not going to complain I just thank God for what we have. You take care of your health and be safe. ❤️❤️👍👍🙏🙏🌟🌟❤️❤️

[@christinebyrd1296]

God bless you for blessing others in need. Love watching.

[@TexasRose50]

The last mower I went through was when the last time I used it, I noticed big circles in my lawn. I was confused as to why. Until when I went to wash it down, the metal around the engine was completely rusted through. Therefore, the blades were bobbing up and down. Oh well, like hair, I knew the grass would grow back. Not long after that, we hired a lawn service. I actually went through two mowers! I enjoyed mowing and using the weed eater, but hated the clean up part. But you always do a bang up job. Everyone is going to have an ‘oops’ moment. No biggie.

[@clarencewiles963]

My wife has a saying, "the one who does all the work makes all the mistakes". Don't be too hard on yourself, you're a good man and doing a great job everyday.

[@skmarrama]

Not sure if you’re in a draught like we are, but i totally understand about mowing dead grass and the dust it kicks up. If you plow in the winter, post those as well! I’ve lived all over (military). It’s common for landscapers in New England to put a plow on the front of their vehicles and plow streets in the winter.

[@marilynpatterson7697]

Nice to see you work good job😊

[@brendabroschard5781]

All your videos are terrific. Of course your health comes before mowing. I don't see how mowing dried up weeds can be a pleasant experience for anyone.

Nice clean up on this one! I don't blame you one bit for not wanting to mow dead grass! The dust particles are unhealthy! Have a blessed day and week ahead!

[@marktubeie07]

Another great one - nice neat property, looks great. Yes, gotta watch your health and balance your blessed efforts to those who need it, you do so much already it is truly appreciated by so many. Yeah the blade was a whoopsi!!🤪. What are your plans for the off season? Snow, podcasts, equipment are vids? All would be fun! Take care mate.

[@markemery888]

You're inspiring to me. I am beginning to enjoy lawn sculpturing again. Always when I watch the videos, I like to look for ways to shave two seconds off of the process. My approach to doing this would be to use the rake as a hand. Thereby, saving time in setting down and picking up. Just a thought. Your work is great. Thank you for posting.

[@65marlee]

I agree with you on the Jackery products, I recently purchased 2 generators w/ solar panels.

[@kellyschmitt1312]

My favorite is the edging and tree/shrub trimming.

[@richardcreurer2935]

Even with the bent blade turned out looking good. Goes to show, no matter the level of experience or care taken some things just get missed at times. Hey! We’re all human and things just happen.

[@olgapaulus7299]

You are so right! It's very unhealthy to bread in all the dirt. For the first time your face still looked clean after this mowing. Lol. Even if the blade on your mower was bent, you made this yard looking awesome.

[@lindawellinghoff5432]

Was looking forward to seeing your regular mowing. It’s nice that you do the free but I really like watching your everyday work. Thanks and blessings to you. !

[@131dyana]

I had to set my mower higher because of the built in sprinkler system. Great job done there though. God bless.

[@raquelhernandez1733]

Fill, everything looks great. Just remember the way that yard looked before you cut it. So, that been said, no mistakes were made, only a blessing to someone that needed help, that's all. God bless you, dear heart!

[@stude1953]

I like to do my trimming after I mow. That way i can get any places I missed with the mower trimmed. If you do the trimming first and miss a spot usually your mower is too big to get it. But that sidewalk is probably the first time that was EVER done so it was probably better to do that first and then the mower would pick up the scraps after blowing it off.

[@theresabutts9522]

Nice job Fill it was nice to see some green grass and no dust.

You did a phenomenal job on that nice property. I enjoyed this content just as much vs the very overgrownstuff! Do not worry about getting those super high unhealthy dry properties. I've been subscribed to your channel since it seems the beginning and you will take the shirt off your back to help someone in need. You're obviously a great Christian man. Of course your health is 1st priority vs pleasing strangers viewing your channel. A job well done. And if your blade was bent I'd have to say I couldn't tell bc it had no problem cutting those high weeds in the backyard. It's cool of u to even admit to a rookie mistake. Take care and many blessing!

[@valeriepasbrig742]

Another nice result. You can see the cut on video but from personal experience, you can't necessarily see it when you're standing on it. Also, I'm up in northern Wisconsin now from southeastern Wisconsin and we definitely have 4 seasons. It looks like we're in for one wicked, rough winter. So, I totally get the coming to the end of mowing season. Brace yourselves. It's gonna be bad!
