The Biggest Problems w/ Condo Associations!

[@Dirtmonkey]

You can't please everyone, keep up the good work and thanks for the vid!

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

Thanks Stanley 👍 appreciate the comment man

[@revfred2008]

You are so right stand. You really cant because there will always be something.

[@reigneduardo6732]

I know im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my password. I love any help you can offer me!

@Reign Eduardo instablaster :)

[@allphaselandscape]

We get $75. Per cu yard for mulch (installed) in our market. I hate it when customers don't mulch and then complain about weeds in the beds!

[@parkerhubs]

This has to be the best video! Sometimes no matter what you do you just cannot please people. Your work speaks for itself, quality and detail are simply part of your daily work. I had to laugh at your frustration only because I know what that is like out of personal experiences. Keep going Jason great job!

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

Ha thanks man appreciate the comment and support👍

[@swampthingforteinadeyate9007]

Ive been unsubscribing from lots of landscape channels lately. You seem to not give me a reason to unsub. Thanks for not annoying me and for not playing rap beats or shitty pop tunes all the time. Good stuff man.

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

😂 thanks for the feedback man...I agree the music nowadays for youtube videos sucks...plus with no music I dont have to worry about a copyright strike

[@swimbait1]

A friend here in town (I’m on the other side of the state from you) has around 175 accounts. He told me five years in this business and you hate everyone. You really realize how picky, tight, etc customers can be the longer you do this work. Looks like you are doing a great job on that property. You do what you can and make it work. I would string trim that same section same as you, too steep. I have one just like it. Thanks

[@JoerivanLith]

As landscape designer I learned to make slopes 1:3 at most, it can be steeper but for regular mowing its not ideal.

[@williamnowacki]

I can imagine how hard maintaining condos can be. I do sometimes examine some companies on many things. The main reason mowing wise. Usually I think to myself I wonder how the condo manager is gonna react to the quality of the work. But it’s also on how well the bushes and shrubs are maintained as well. After watching your video Jason I must admit incredible. I certainly thought that both you and Reese did a superb job on the condo. Keep up with the great work.

[@LrGLazyBoy]

Best lawn care intro by far. Brian’s lawn maintenance second

[@sebastian56309]

Wonderful job! Battery powered equipment has come a long way. That is what we use for trimming and edging lawns as well as trimming the bushes. Does your arms and back hurt the following day and slow you down (breaks needed) during the job? If so I have a tip for you.

[@G815-f6f]

Hey bud, not sure if you do or not, but, quick tip, spray those trimmer blades with WD about every 5 or so mins trimming like that. Itll help out a lot

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

Thanks man apperictae it...I actually use a silicon spray since it lasts longer than the WD40...the only problem with it is debris sticks to it even more

[@tonyedmonds42]

This is for the ones saying HOAs and Apartments complex are the best contracts. NO!!! They are not. We do service few of those and it is a pain in the a**. I feel the pain, three years in business and those properties helped me to learn. The best learning experience for any one going into this landscaping business and want to grow line you.

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

Completely agree man...can't tell you how many new things I add to my contract every year 👍

[@captainlarrynosleepfishing5350]

Yup me as well😡. Grass is too high then it’s too low 😡 fertilizer smells too much Noise etc.

[@zaineridling]

For all my experience working with old people, their number one activity is bitching about EVERYTHING! Ignore their complaints and stick to your schedules. 👍👍👍

[@bobbystewart2605]

Honestly, a walk walk behind does wonders on slopes as long as it’s not too slick. We have 48 and 60” exmark turf tracers and they work well.

[@Jw_01]

Please do more of these videos. I like this kind of video from you.

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

More to come brother!

[@abovebeyondlawncare4628]

Great video!! Always good to learn how others do things. Your work is on point!!

[@terrysmith7454]

GREAT WORK , I LIKE THAT TRIMMER PUT IT IN YOUR DISCRIPTION PLEASE

[@petrosxp]

Oh man!! I sympathize with you..... i am going through the same!!!!!

[@trooperandcooperale3057]

My go to answer for when Clients complain about walking grass into their homes. "surely you take your outside shoes off before go inside". and look at them puzzled. Oh an as to "My hair is falling out". Have not heard that one yet. And I hadn't thought about the Nose-guard and concrete, though mindful of the situation, I'm going to see if I can fit one off one of my petrol trimmers.

[@DS-TRUCKS]

The struggle is real. Wow.

[@CNKCLAN2]

Great job man! Those properties look great! It would be nice if management was able to manage their tennant's better and keep them off your back but this is the world we live in! Hopefully they'll notice the workmanship and give you referrals

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

Ya the new management that came in has done a better job keeping the tenants out of our way...but we will see how long thay lasts

[@cutandcleanwi6947]

Now you know why I stopped working with condos.

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

I maintain 5 other large condos and honestly they are really nice, every now and then you get a weirdo but it's just this one specifically I have a lot of problems with. Thanks for the comment man 👍

[@Fencearmor]

Always a pleasure watching your videos, Jason! Keep up the good work.

[@gglawncare560]

Do you use the T25i to suck up all your clippings? Also, what’s the app that you use for the incline? Great video brother!

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

Defending on the type and size of the clippings...if it is small stuff we use the B23i and mulch it all up. For larger items or a lot more debris we use the T25i. The app is called "Angle Meter Pro2"

[@alangipson]

Ambro's Landscaping Inc. Of course apple don’t have the 2. 🤦‍♂️ hah appreciate it

[@Thisandthatdude]

You need a Ventrac!! Obviously if you have more use than just the one hill.

[@feds27]

Would diagonal mowing the slope work better?

[@willieoctavian7382]

Just joined. What do you use for fertilizer for lawns

[@jonesey1981]

This is one of the many reasons I won’t spray weed control on any property.

[@aosaos6821]

Tiger cat Scag wud of eaten that hill up I bet great video ..

[@Dale.Nienow]

Great video Ambro's Landscaping, I would get sick of doing that property if they keep that up! What state do you live in if you have to log your fertilizer and spraying stuff I don't have to do that! All of my Stihl's comes with that hedge trimming guards on, I am starting to like Stihl's battery kombi unit hedge trimmer much lighter after trimming for half or and hour!

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

I live in Washington State...its law that we must hold onto our records for 7 years. Ya a lot of trimmers now come with the guards but idk what Husqvarna didnt do it 🤦‍♂️

[@johnbailey9682]

Time to drop them !

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

I'll be raising my prices this next year dramatically so most likely wont we mainting it next year

[@mikethomas4570]

I’ll give that a try, going backwards on hill for better traction

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

For Walkers it's the only way 😂....defiantly for the T25i

[@garygundlach4016]

That's why I got rid of my condos for that specific reason.was tired of hearing every condo owners crap. The money isnt worth it

[@paulslawncare]

Nice vid Jason. I drive by that account a few times a day and I was wondering what was up with the weeds. I bet you could get away with like 150 yards of mulch. But there’s no way that’s getting done for $3000! FYI the word you were searching for is “selective” herbicide......

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

We could get it done with 150 yrds but they dont want to pay for it. They have no problem paying other contractors for worthless stuff done around the building but not the mulching 🤦‍♂️

[@FishFind3000]

Lol 3k for a whole complex is bs. I did a single restaurant for 2k

[@pauldelgiudice8362]

Another great video, thank you.

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

Yay 👍😂

[@dandylawnandmaintenance4407]

Just wondering you know Tenacity says its safe for kids and pets on the label after its dried. Do you not use this product because its expensive and not cost effective?

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

I personally haven't branched out with using different herbicides, I've used a couple and stick with what has worked best. The herbicide I use is "Foundation" and works great. It's safe once its dries but no matter what you tell these people they wont listen

[@dirtrulz112]

Ambro's Landscaping Inc. make sure you switch up chemicals everyonce and a while or weeds will build up a tollerance. we use tzone sedgepro and a couple others and the weeds stop dying after a while if you keep using the same herbicides

[@salonsoares2179]

This walker b looks amazing .

[@oscarvazquez3930]

I just subscribed in your chanchinel man, I hope to learn more from you I watched few some of your videos in the past

[@revfred2008]

What AP do you use to measure your angles slopes?

[@aosaos6821]

Wud of gone up and down vertically on angle baking down in comfort zero weedeating extra

[@speedsterspeedy2146]

Hilarious. Dog jokes. You’re awesome. Let’s get it. Great work

[@CA34562]

Can i get the name of the app that shows you the angle of slopes?

[@CountrysideStrong]

What's that app?

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

"Angle Meter Pro2"

[@CountrysideStrong]

@@AmbrosLandscapingInc thanks brother. I was gonna text you but by the time I watched this I didn't know what time it was for you 😉

[@marksmith4512]

How do you price a commercial job like a condo?

[@troystoneful]

nice , keep it up on these video

[@salonsoares2179]

Why do you like the walker so much?

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

Really is has everything to do with their decks. The floating deck gets you a great cut, easy to clean under and change the blades. Plus the compact size has eliminated a large majority of our push mowing

[@salonsoares2179]

@@AmbrosLandscapingInc Yes I have a landscaping here in Mass and have 4 of them, one is new 25i it is pretty fast, have a big z John Dere and my crue only use it for knock out fields they say it cuts bad and leave too much trim . I became strangely addicted to this machines.

[@4.0gpa44]

Selective herbicide or non-selective herbicide, not secticide.

[@johnbailey9682]

You said the old lady is all ready complaining about your spray. She is already making an excuse.

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

Ya that had happened over a year and we havent heard anything from her again. We just do not spray in front of her apartment anymore 😂

[@rockallred658]

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Some people live to complain.

I would dump them and warn other landscape companies about the hassle so they don't have to go through what you are dealing with!

[@hudsonjaxson8877]

I think you mean non selective, instead of "sectacide", lol.

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

Ya but it sounds good though right 😂

[@BakersLawnCare]

Great viedo

[@bdrew247]

Teaching the dog to poop in a toilet may be a new market to make money. Lol

[@brentkelley1491]

How u make money @ 50 a yard installed

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

$50 per every yrd of mulch not per property ha. That is just labor costs, that doesnt include price of mulch plus pick up and delivery as well

[@MrJh66sh]

New to your youtube channel nice videos. Have you ever checked out ventrac lawnmowers they seem like the best in the market for incline mowing! Jason Ham

[@1986BEENE]

If they want you to maintain everything by hand and go through and rake every bed and hand pull every weed just let them know that’s no a problem as long as the pay 10X what there paying now for weed control and bed maintenance. Jk that’s too must of a hassle. Have always love the RSWAL.

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

Ha I actually have offered people that. If they want me to hand pull weeds I just charge a ridiculous amount 😂

[@VICTORLopez-gi2ec]

Buy a tip guard ..

Yep some people are just losers. I'd be dropping that place like a hot stone lol

😂

[@DavidJr-ig5og]

Hahahhahahahahahha lol I’m dying my hair is falling out and I’m unhealthy because they spread the weeds

[@johnbailey9682]

Well the longer you keep it gives them a reason to sue you for one reason or another the writing is on the wall!

[@AmbrosLandscapingInc]

What would they sue me for?

also looks like your helper could use that funky....darwin's grip on the string trimmer; he has quite a lean while flat trimming.

250 yards for $14,000?!?!?
