There's NO WAY They're Moving Out With LAWN Looking Like THIS

[@yycguy8722]

Regarding the gentleman who refused your free lawn service at the end of your video. I would have prepared a pamphlet describing your free lawn service for lawns that could potentially go to a city bylaw infraction. Have a link to your KZbin channel and a phone number and email address to contact you. That way the customer can have time to think it over, he is likely worried about it being a scam. You do a great service to your community Fill, keep up the great work!

[@Nyx773]

I agree. A lot of people don't know about channels like this, especially older folks. Just give the person a pamphlet, doorknob placard, or at least a business card (with QR code and website) and let it be. Since the sidewalk and parkway are city property. Could do a "preview" job for the homeowner doing just those items?

[@TeamNoLackin79]

Yeah I was going to say the same thing. Write a letter explaining what you do.

[@animeangel1983]

Or maybe he was suspicious of him. Older folks tend to be more suspicious when someone offers something for free.

[@scazermazz]

If people don't want you to do anything, they don't want it. I'm sure all these lawn care video guys have heard no plenty of times. You shouldn't have to beg to help people.

[@tinareeder6491]

👏👏👏

[@LisaHarsh]

I would contact code enforcement and let them know you do this service. Since they actually talk to the people and can see their situation. They can offer to contact you so you can take care of it for the homeowner. It wouldn’t hurt. God bless you.

[@Boydmt68]

The older we get, the more we see what society has become with crooked ads. Being retired and always home, I hate people knocking on our door asking us to buy solar panels, termite and bug killers, landscapers, school fund raisers, etc. It's just plain annoying. Just leave a note with your youtube channel for him to see your work and just let him contact you. You do have a good heart, and I believe they will respond more that way.

[@larrylass4268]

I agree anyone who knocks on my door OR calls the first thing I think is SCAM and the big wall goes up if it is for free. Burnt a couple of times so sadly, it is the new normal. Leaving a note with the youtube channel and just let him contact you might work.

[@christinejoseph9937]

So true good advice 👍

[@Kim-mt4up]

As a single mom, I never answer the door for anyone I don't know. Yes, leaving a note would definitely help. Just like strange phone calls...if it's important, they'll leave a message. Great job today!!!👍👍

[@CaptainRon1913]

Yeah, I agree. However, a lot of older folks don't know what youtube is, and have no concept of how you could make a living posting video of free lawncare, therefore, must be some sort of scam... My 91yr old mother must get 20 scam phone calls a day. My brother and I have to watch her very close. She's been scammed before a few times.

[@susandallessandro2905]

Great job as always. As for the elderly man at the end, I too am getting there. I think that we have been warned so many times as to how people scam older people that we are afraid of most things. I am sure that he said to himself, "Free, yeah sure". He just figured there was a catch. He would have no proof that you said it was free and if you were a scammer, you could deny that you offered it for free. Then you could take him to court for services not paid. I am sure that he didn't want a lawsuit out of it. Just the point of view from an older American. Bless you for trying.

[@mmpatto]

Maybe just leave him a letter. He may have just thought you were a scam and just shut it down quickly.

I was going to say the same. A letter is personal and shows that you care enough to do the work. It helps the homeowner and the neighborhood. I'm surprised the city hasn't fined him.

[@FlatulEssence]

You finally got it right, the way I have been suggesting to everyone I watch their video in this category.... 1st: Weed eat the edge to reduce the thickness of the grass 2nd: Mow 3rd: Edge with the edger or with the weed eater 4th: Blow and clean up You are the only one who keeps his equipments neat and clean, before and after the project. Keeping your equipments well in order is a sign of a professional who cares for your craft and work. I appreciate that you bag the clippings when you mow. I like your consistency and your attention to details. Looking forward to your next project.

[@joshuaburba1048]

Actually I have heard several lawn care professionals recommended weed-eating BEFORE mowing so that the mower can chop up all those grass clippings. If one mows first, and weed-eats after, as you are suggesting, it will leave grass clippings in the yard at the end, and it won't look as nice. Again, that's what I've heard professionals recommended, and that is the primary reason why.

[@megaruhe6296]

So where are your videos showing us how to do this the RIGHT way?

[@pupndan1982]

I REALLY REALLY appreciate picking up the clippings. Leaving the job as if it was the highest paying job, is free with high quality and integrity.

[@williecourthers9450]

You are one of the only lawn care service on KZbin that really detail the lawn by collecting grass clippings. You do an exceptional job trimming both grass and shrubbery.

[@bumble4342]

Yes! Only a few rare collect the clippings. The channels with a million subscribers do not collect the clippings.

[@alaskagirlatheart6885]

For the guy that wouldn't let you take care of his yard, maybe leave a note or send a letter. That will give you more time/space to explain the service and why you do it for free. Good luck. You do amazing work, and you do it with such kindness.

[@mikeomalley5407]

CHICAGO, IL - I was glad the homeowner came out and thanked and offered a tip, even though you didn’t want to take it. As for the older guy you mentioned at the end, who said no, I would have been that way 2 years ago. At 67, I’ve been watching KZbin service channels and know people are offering free services so I wouldn’t think it was a scam right away. I may ask for your channel name. Most of my siblings laugh when I say I watch KZbin but my nieces and nephews watch some of the same channels. My siblings are 57-78 Y/O and my nieces and nephews are 16-50 Y/O. My point is. It depends on demographics or how much you keep up with technology, regardless of age. Keep doing what you’re doing. I’ve learned here that the people you’re helping are partially skeptical but are embarrassed that they have to rely on someone else.

As a widow who doesn't like surprise visitors at my door I can sort of understand the man, but at the same time I wouldn't turn away free help. I'm also addicted to these mowing channels so I'd actually be aware, lol. Definitely have a short brochure, a two-sided one maybe that outlines who you are and what you do. Sometimes that's a help. Leave it when you get a no. Good luck!

[@CaroleMorin]

Personnally, if a person came up to my doorstep and offered to mow my lawn for free I would do the same as the gentleman did and I live in Canada. I’ve seen so many door to door salesmen telling me they could do this for that for me at a certain price and in the end, it was always a lot more than we had agreed upon because things were different than expected and so on. I would definitely expect a free lawn mow to be a lure and I would end up paying full price because of some unforeseen problem after the fact.

[@MrStv1163]

Agree. There are lots of scam artists or disingenuous salespeople out there. He probably thought it was some sales pitch.

[@handtalker2k]

You cared for this lawn like my dad. He always mowed first then edged & trimmed second because he could see what needed to be done better. So many others edge first when everything is so overgrown. How can they see where to edge? I love that you use a grass catcher & leave the yard clean & clear.

[@larryfarquhar8211]

Fill! Look into the Gorilla lifts for your trailer tailgate! What a difference they make! Of course I’m a lot older than you!😂 They’re really affordable and make lifting the tailgate so easy! You can get them in pairs, one for each side. I could only use one on my trailer, but my tailgate is smaller than yours. Just a thought! I think you would like them! Enjoy watching your videos! Not much mowing right now here in Texas where I live. Been well over 100 degrees for a long time!

[@E.Meyers]

Fill, you are so kind and just a wonderfully genuine gentleman. One major aspect is that you collect the clippings.

[@indianaslim4971]

I fully understand the reaction and denial from the homeowner, news outlets moved away from reporting news to fear mongering a few decades ago that has made for a wary and paranoid society, better to walk away and leave his problems with him, there's no need for you to take on anyone's problems without their approval.

Sorry to hear about the rejection for clearing the sidewalk for the elderly man. Sometimes we old folks get grumpy if things in our day aren't going right, or just can't deal with one more thing. It would be nice to try again, he might be in a better mood. I would leave a business card, and maybe a personal letter assuring him that you are doing it to help him for free.

You could let me know on this note that you just want to prevent this man from receiving a notice from the city to get it done or risk a fine.
