For some reason I love these videos even tho I’m ONLY 13! Most of the time I feel like I need exercise when I really don’t so I’ll just go outside and do lawn care! Eventually my perfectionist side will come out and I’ll be start crying so I have to go inside! I beg my dad to put down fertilizer and emergent and certain weed killers! The ONLY thing ay I finally convinced him to do so is saying I would do it ❤😂 keep going man even if you loose all your subscribes you’ll still have one and that will be me! I also on top of that have built a 125 square foot fence around our house in order to convince my dad to get a dog, in the fall I clean all the flower beds and planter boxes also which I built, I have also built the wall around the plants lining the house ❤❤

Really appreciate that. Thanks so much for watching, sharing and supporting the channel. Happy to have ya here.

Start mowing and mulching this summer to get a feel for it, I see you running your own lawn and landscaping company. Save money for college or to pay for lawn equipment/trailer. By the time you're 18, you have a client base and experience. Work at Ace or Home Depot for discounts and freebies that are ZMA'd, even just one day a week, while in school will give you insight, contacts with lots of other entrepreneurs, and work history. If I was your mom, I'd be absolutely delighted to make flyers and cards to advertise.

Come up to Illinois and enjoy the cool season grasses. I’ve already mowed twice in 2024 and and from the looks of it, might need to do it again this week.

You couldn’t have posted yesterday…I just purchased a scarifier (rock & rocker). I couldn’t wait to use it. So there I was, knee deep in thatch, enjoying the weather and bam..on a break look who posts a new video stating that all that hard work was done erroneously! In all seriousness, thanks for the helpful tips and love all your content! Also, did you make your leveling drag?

[@BudgetLawns]

Don't sweat it brother. I've seen folks do it this time of year and all was good. These are just best practices. Not the end of the world. As long as you were outside enjoying the weather and your time in the lawn, that's all that matters! Appreciate ya buddy. Thanks for watching and commenting as always.

So, when I'm watching March Madness and OU Softball today instead of doing yard work. It's ok for me to tell my wife you said it was too early. Right?

[@BudgetLawns]

😆😆That's exactly right. Hog baseball at 2 and basketball all day...I don't have a lawn right now lol. Thanks as always brother!

Is it possible to over mow? Trying to mow 3 times a week already and got a decent green up… just gotta avoid these scalp sections from high spots. (Dallas, TX)

[@BudgetLawns]

It's not necessary to mow so much, but if you enjoy it, whether or not it's overkill is up to you. I really don't know where the point of diminishing returns is. 2-3 times a week is ideal, so I just stick with that. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

Hi there, I know I might get an earful here about this question, but I am really interested in trying out the products from Sunday. Have you any thoughts about this or has any commenters tried Sunday?

I have no thoughts and really don’t know a thing about it. I’m aware of it and that’s about it. Sorry, wish I had more for ya. Thanks for watching.

[@BudgetLawns]

The general info pertains to your grass type. So your grass type will determine when you do these things. Does that help? Thanks for watching.

[@joewilson4561]

@BudgetLawns I think so. Lol except I just bought the house a few weeks ago and I have no idea what kind of grass it is. I live in Tacoma Washington.

Wait waaat. You aren’t gonna shame us for not investing 18hrs per day in the lawn??

😂 If that's what it took, I'd find another hobby. Being on the golf course 18hrs a day with a cooler full of cold pops sounds a lot better. 😆😆Appreciate ya watching and commenting. Have a good weekend!

[@buda18]

have you scalped your lawn yet?

[@BudgetLawns]

Not yet. It’s in the 20s out this morning with a freeze warning. I won’t scalp until there’s a 10 day stretch without a frost or freeze in the forecast leading up to my typical last frost/freeze date of April 15. Thanks for watching.

I don't like those bradford pear tree they stink like urine when they bloom and arent even native to the south east area! 0:04

Yeah, I don’t like em either. They have a bounty on em around here in one town. Cut one down in your yard and the city gives you a tree to replace it. The tree in the video isn’t in my yard. Thanks for watching.
