Stop EDGING sidewalks and driveway for a month to 6 weeks at a time

Hey Johnny I passed my pesticide exam last week in NC. Thanks for the encouragement. I'd been wanting to for a while.

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Growth regulators, great way to cut down on edging and on shrubs. I edge only a hand full of times during the season and it has cut down on pruning shrubs. Great stuff.

[@tox1cfuse347]

Dude those random ass transitions 😂😂😂😂

[@kaidonspare6416]

I've heard of this for hedges of course but didn't think about the edging 🤔 nice 👍🏾

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

:02 What is the deal with everyone turning into a cartoon. Someone make one of me lol

Man... I've had this since 2009

[@jamesdavis-hc2iu]

Have you ever thought about writing a book on the successful lawn care guide with all the video clips and your experience now I have planted that seed in your mine think about !

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

Happy Memorial Day, Johnny! I see you've been experimenting with video effects, recently. Loved that black and white to color transition when you closed the storage gate 😉.

[@tylersawey5875]

Sweet video man I'm out of fayettville NC and we run into the same types of grass that are in your area. Love all the informative videos and all the knowledge your putting about running a lawn Care business and try to see if I can apply it to my own. Thumbs up man and keep them coming

[@blakebaker6554]

Tyler Sawey I’m located in Fayetteville too. Maybe I’ve seen you around.

[@bulen24]

Palisade works well in cool season grasses. Need to mix 24d with it as well.

[@leonelariciaga3537]

"if are in this industry you have to keep educating your self. "" Thank you for bringing that up. Lets talk like pro.

[@mikeadams2304]

I’ve tried it. In most situations you’re better off doing the weed eating and edging. The cost of the chemical offsets any savings. A good efficient employee will ultimately save you money. Now a shrub growth regulator is a good thing, unless you’re charging for pruning as extra. Anytime you can choose not to use pesticides, that definitely the route I’m taking. I have been a licensed applicator for 15 years

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

Thanks for sharing!

[@mikeadams2304]

Blades of Grass Lawn Care, LLC I really enjoy your videos. I love your professional look and work ethic.

[@northtexasturfpros4083]

Mike Adams it makes sense, especially in commercial work where you work into the bid how many times you expect to have to trim the shrubs (or edge the walk Ways - pick one). Thus, any amount of time that you can save from doing the work that you wrote into the bid means your increasing your profit margin! Whether it through a more efficient employee who commands the same wage or by avoiding the need to trim the shrubs at all; its hEconomics my man, economics. Now in residential it depends on whether or not you bill by the shrub job or if you are charging quarterly/ yearly to maintain the shrubs. Obviously if you are bidding by the job you wouldn’t want to use the product because you would be regulating yourself right out of some work lol.

[@EclipseLawnCare]

Great information Johnny. Would you make a video on the process of becoming a licensed applicator. Thanks

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

That's a little hard to accomplishe because each state have their own individual requirements. I would suggest to check your state for more information, Hope this helps.

[@drums2go615]

Luv your videos! What is pop smoke ?

[@kevinboo2000]

I saw a product similar to this up here in New York but they said it would only suppress the growth for about 3-4 weeks so I wasn't sure if it was worth the $ to buy it BUT 7 weeks ! wow that's a game changer ! Does it discolor the grass in any way ??

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

Not that i have seen in my area

[@shawnhenry7871]

Great video! I was thinking about this product while out doing commercial properties today and you brought it home for me... decision made! lol Thanks again Brother, can't wait for the shrub product review! Thanks again! 😎

[@DelightedCuttz]

Mr. Johnny I wanna use this on my residentials cuz they're all bi-weekly and most edges be unruly....I live in Baltimore, MD and I definitely need 😆

[@BriansLawnMaintenance]

That's a great tip and an interesting product. I've never seen that before. Seems like a major cost savings for sure from a labor standpoint and definitely makes the lines look crispy. Do you need to licensed in all states to use that, or is that a state by state thing?

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

If you need a lisence in your state to apply chemicals, then you need one for this.

[@Rickyromo]

Brian's Lawn Maintenance just got done watching you

[@jasonmizuno6117]

License has to be for your state.

[@cevans0974]

When you apply the edgeless how long will it be effective until you have to spray it again?

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

It depends on the type of grass/ turff that you're appliyng it to. I would suggest to read the lable for more information.

[@elizahein3770]

cevans097 he says 7-8 weeks! Game changer!

[@lowens8512]

Thanks for the advice I'm going to try some on y property.

[@santosgalvan6076]

Wow! I havent heard of this. I need to find out how to become a licensed aplicator. I have been noticing that there has been an increase in grass termites in peoples lawns in my area.

[@thomasbagwell2171]

Great Video boss! Keep pushing!

[@zerocool212121]

not a fan of pgr's for most people as to many are not competent enough to know how to use them correctly. they can really mess up ecosystems if there is runoff which is common. sometimes that labor cost is a better choice vs the damage of sensitive ecosystems. just a different perspective to consider. not saying this is a bad product but more caution really should be applied if using pgr's as it can be just as bad as adding invasive species to sensitive areas.

[@normanbanks8902]

Happy Memorial Day.

[@cesarpineda5762]

Do you use anything for your flower beds @ commercial Properties ? To keep weeds always and having to use weed killers

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

Preen sold at the Home Depot

[@andrealobos3683]

It says to water in the product within 24 hours, is this what you do? and does it still work if you don't water it in? Thank you for your great videos

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

Andrea Lobos No. I’ve never watered it in and it still works

[@brucec43]

I experimented with it a little. I'd stick to hard to trim spots like fence lines. Here's why. It lasts RELIABLY about 1 month. You already have to edge it the first time, and applying it takes about as long as a second trim/edging. So you've done half the labor. Then the cost of the chemicals is probably equal to the labor of a 3rd trim/edge. So you're saving 1 edge/month, maybe 2. Shrubs is another thing. But if you don't have shrub trimming already worked into the set price, you of course would not be getting paid for it. I found that "trimmed" is in the eye of the beholder, and my solution was to charge established customers for the trimming each time. That way if they wanted it done more often to catch a few stringers, they paid for it. Some shrubs will get ragged in a month. But if you charge for the whole process once/month, your bid is uncompetitively high.

[@scottsummers6541]

I think I'll just spray my entire yard with this stuff!

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

LOL!!!

Do you use a specific nozzle? Like a fan tip nozzle.....which nozzle gets the best coverage?

A licensed applicator is no joke ! It's not on the employer for infractions by the applicator it's the person that holds the license ! If the boss tells you to do something that is against the law don't do it !

POP Smoke what do you use on commercial property to prevent and kill existing weeds?

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

I use Bayer Celsius for weed control and Dimension for pre-emergent

Johnny, can you advise me on how I go about getting licensed to apply chemicals In my state. I live in, Miami, Florida.

[@AlbertoGonzalez-tc2ju]

Thx my friend

[@tgantt76]

Hi Johnny. Have you heard of a product called T-Nex? Its supposed to be the same as edgeless but I don't know if it's as effective.

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

Yes. We have been using it lately and it works just as well, thanks!

[@jasonmizuno6117]

What growth regulator you use for the shrubs?

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

[@manuf.eng.808]

Growth suppressants have been around for a long time

[@straightfromthefield7244]

Great video! Never tried Edgeless on turf, but have used Cutless Granular on shrubs. Also, being a licensed applicator in GA (Class 24) only allows an individual to APPLY restricted-use pesticides. In order to SELL them as a service to your clients, one must also obtain a Commercial Pesticide Contractor's License through the GA Dept. of Agriculture. Have a great Memorial Day....going to a church picnic myself....later, man!

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

I will make a video on shrub growth regulators also. Thanks for the additional info and enjoy your weekend as well, Thanks!

[@kennyplay5982]

question, who would be an expert? @ 9:00 you say youre not an expert??

[@antoniomanconi1572]

Thats An awesome video, is there a waiting period after mowing for application? Can i just apply it a soon as i have mowed and trimmed the edges? or do i need to wait a while?

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

I apply it as soon as I finish edging and had no issues, but read the direction to be sure.

[@antoniomanconi1572]

@@Bladesofgrasslawncare Yes thank you for your swift reply, I follow all your videos... thank you for your help they are very informative!! The label does not mention anything about this for this particular product In general there is a withholding period however for other PGR's like T Nex, as it says to be applied no sooner than one hour after mowing or 4 hours before mowing

Question: the chem label says the it may cause the turf to have a darker green color from the balance of the turf. Have you experienced variations in color of the treated area vs the untreated?

That's a noble perspective and one that's worthy of respect. But here's the thing...unless you're living a green lifestyle and not contributing to CO2 , methane, or polluting our planet with plastic products...and living without ANY assistance from modern chemistry, whether it's GMOs, or antibiotics, or pesticides...then maybe you should be more forgiving because the emissions savings from the 2 cycle equipment in lieu of this application, is something to consider.
