OVERGROWN Lawn INFESTED With Dandelions Gets A Satisfying TRANSFORMATION

I had a new customer call me about her overgrown lawn that needed to be serviced. It hadn't been mowed the whole year. Upon arrival, I did a thorough walk around and noticed an infested golden lake of dandelions in the backyard. Seemed like the lawn didn't get treated.
I proceeded to mow the lawn and give our now new, weekly client the best that we could do. During the process, I had one of the tenants say that they were excited to have me on board. That was a pleasant thing to hear :)
I recently bought an Exmark Staris 36" Commercial Lawn Mower with the accelerator bagger. Probably the best investment I've ever made for my business. It is able to get into the smallest backyards and has almost completely eliminated the need of a push mower. You'll see more of it in future videos.
I hope you enjoy this satisfying lawn transformation. If this is your first time watching, please consider subscribing to the channel. It really helps us out! Don't forget to like the video if you enjoyed it. and comment down below what you liked about it. Have a great day my friend 👍🏼

[@papajaystinkershop75]

FYI Fill, Dandelions are NOT weeds. They are a fully edible plant with many nutritional and health benefits. Their roots, besides being edible, also contain more vitamins than some vegetables and their root system helps keep your soil aerated to help your grass grow better. I would welcome a lawn like this. Dandelions are in the Diasy family of flowers.

[@pennyaikins]

Some states are asking for a No Mow May to help pollinators 🕊️ and 🐝 etc So sad to see these be mowed down in May

Thanks Papa Jay for the information. A lot of people in my state HATE dandelions and always strive for a lush, green lawn. Companies spray chemicals to keep them from emerging throughout the year. I DON'T do any type of chemical spraying. Seems like maybe this customer doesn't have a treatment plan. I was asked to mow the grass and keep it maintained on a weekly basis :)

This answers the question “whatever happened to…..”. Still curious about how long a job takes on the 1st pass to correct the overgrowth vs doing it from then on a regular basis. This one re-I forced the gas + line + blades + wear on equipment + pay ( $15/hr for just a cut & weedeat in DFW). I doubt there are viewers that don’t believe in the dedication of this, but to go back in a second time says it all.

[@donnaleveron6511]

Dandelions are very healthy and medicinal. The homeowners and neighbors may be very glad to have them come next spring, the way shortages and inflation are going. In France, they are raised commercially for resale. Flowers can be eaten in a salad or made into jelly or wine, also battered and deep fried. Roots, roasted as a coffee substitute, and the leaves can be eaten raw in a spring salad with field greens or cooked as greens. Please don't disparage the dear dainty dandelion.! ;-) I hope you are composting all that wonderful plant material? Brown gold on the garden and flower beds.

[@grandmasgarden9142]

Dandelions also support a lot of bees and butterflies. We have been so conditioned to call them weeds.

[@donnaleveron6511]

That mowing looks so satisfying. I have a smaller lawn that I push mow and keep cropped to the lowest cut height setting. Every Spring, my yard along with many in town are full of dandelions. I end up mowing every 3 to 5 days in the Spring to keep dandelions to a minimum. After the dandelions are done for the year by late Spring, I go to a 5 to 7 day schedule between mowings.

LOVE THAT SIDE BAGGER....LEAVES THE YARD SPOTLESS

[@SousChef77]

I know her neighbors appreciated this, and getting all those weed seeds up will keep the yards (eventually, if all bag) dandelion free. If only more bagged. People ask us why our yard always looks so good. We read a book from a gardener in our area (Texas - Neil Sperry) and got educated. In our 70's, late 60's now, and we still do our own maintenance and dragging around hoses watering. We love it, and are so grateful to God that we can still do it. There will come a time...but we have a sweet lawncare crew around us who use walk behinds with baggers, that will take over when needed....we have already called on them a couple times. God is so good!
