Thanks for watching we have videos and shorts covering a wide variety of topics from lawn care, gardening, landscaping to the business side of running a gardening business. We may even throw in some vlogs.
Based in York northern england we operate in amongst our walled city that is over 2000 years old. Mainly offering grass cutting, weeding, hedges and small trees.
Meticulous gardens has gone through the start up phase to a part time business then on to a full time business with employees. Hopefully in the future we will expand further but at the moment we are focusing on getting the business systems in place.
We use ego battery equipment for hand held tools. Hayter lawn mowers for general grass cutting. Mainly wolfgarten for hand for dumb equipment.
Thank you and please subscribe if you haven’t already.
Thanks Matt

So true about the welding/thornproof Gloves
The lawn edge tool is garbage....roughneck is the best one i have tried
Only change is before and after
Wish I'd seen this video before I bought the edger. Was really looking forward to getting it as struggled to find an edger with a decent length handle. Ended up bending on the first job I used it on, complete waste of money.
You’ve been the inspiration for our van build. It’s worked out well so far. No trailer-no unloading anything and it’s a great place for a nap. 😂
Thanks for the tipoff on the leaf grabber. It never occurred to me that design existed and it looks a lot better than traditional plastic hands. I only had 1 plastic hand following a divorce and was about to order another pair. Now I've ordered your ones which seemed good value too.
I get these tools make sense for mobile gardeners like yourself to fit everything neatly in a van but for a home user with plenty of garage space there is almost always a better tool available for less money even after paying for extra handles. Might take more space but there's less faffing around changing attachments. The one tool that I have found them to be a category leader is on scarifying moss removal in particular their rake with wheels. I haven't seen anything better for manual thatch removal and it gives me a better finish than the electric lawn rake that I had been using. I've assessed the whole range and can't see me needing anything else from Wolf Garten. Still if I can only find 1 really useful tool from each manufacturer then that's a great set of tools.
can you tell us the name of the car? And can you tell us the length of the wolf sticks, since they have 1.40 and 1.70...thanks!
Hi, it’s a Vauxhall Vivaro. The poles are 140s
Your broken springtine rake, trowel, brush etc... they all come with long (and I mean 5, 10, 25 year) guarantees but you didn't mention that.
For professional or commercial use it reduces from 35 years to just 3 months.
Cord trimmer
How deep do you scarify
Usually so it’s lightly cutting the soil. Then it gives the seeds something to sit in
Nice.
Lovely Tidy Van. I'm Mr Tidy and my van has been a mess for the past 20 years. Get your self a trailer so you can remove green waste. Mercedes Sprinter or Vw Crafter MWB is best van. You can also make loads of money moving houses in winter. 1000 a day. Best of luck.
Not a bad listen. I'm working my way back through the episodes. The Interview with Michael Large was good.
Thanks. Good video
Thank you. Appreciate that 👍
Some cracking ideas
I have a collection of Wolf Garten tools too. Should have gotten into them years ago, they're great. If you spread your purchases out over the year they do not seem so expensive.
I do like mine, it’s like a range of any brand once they have really good and average products. Overall though I think they do a good job.
Это ж сколько трудов стоит этот газон, а потом он опять зарастет и что опять заново?
gonna have to invest in some leaf grabs, now autumn is here
Satisfying
Sam calls it the whirley cutter
😂 that’s a new one
Depends on which property your on mate. Some times it’s a strimmer sometimes it’s a DSD, dog shit detector
They have to be the worst days. It’s fox poop on the front lawns that annoy me.
The odd time a window breaker 😡
We call it a strimmer
It’s cutting hedges like butter so far.
Just find these wolfgarten micky mouse tools OK for light work anything heavy no good, 👍
I don’t like heavy work 😂 thanks for watching
Good video mate. Keeping things in an area is key to making good money and cutting down on fuel the way things are.
Thanks Mate appreciate the support 👍
Quality video, really good to watch as a new gardener trying to maximise efficiency!
Thank you. Glad it helped 👍
10/10 for detail and information👌🏾 This is something we could all learn from! Sometimes I feel like I spend more time driving than I do at the actual jobs 😪
Cheers, thought it might be useful to look at the details. Drive time can be so frustrating at times.
Great ideas for gardeners looking to maximise their efficiency here!
Thanks James
Thanks for watching
Agree with all your assessments of these tools as a long term user. That edger is shit.
It’s horrendous. Thanks for watching
Good video, the result is great, bravo!
Hey Thank you. I was really happy with the outcome. Thanks for watching
Ladders would be handy...
I've invested quite heavily into the Ego stuff. Been about 7 months now and I've sold a fair bit of my petrol stuff. I've still got my old faithful Honda IZY and husqvarna brushcutter for the bigger jobs where I need power and runtime. The battery stuff is such a joy to use though... A few more years and I think it'll be very common for most gardeners. I do like the Stihl and husqvarna battery stuff but I think it's really overpriced and Ego have much better battery technology in my opinion.
3:37 does it glow blue when Orcs are near? ...
Yes, as does the one at 7.01
i have the same ego trimmer! I was just trying to decide today whether to get a second battery or not. I think I shall! Thanks for sharing!
Would you recommend battery equipment over petrol for a new gardening business?
Nice job there chief, you've successfully shamed me into sorting my van out now! 👍👍
En México hay esas herramientas
Really wanna start a business like this but can insurance for me is so high cause I’m 18 🤦♂️
That large rake right after the leafrake is NOT designed for heavy work like moving gravel or clay soils. It is designed to level and flatten the ground and topsoil before seeding or sodding grass. First use the points to move the topsoil, flip and use the back to level. It wil than collect any stones or debris. Rinse repeat till level and flat. 9/10. Also the gardenfork( LU-GM )is the most versatile garden tool I ever owned. It digs, rakes, shovels debris and piles of cuttings and branches, perfect potato pitch fork, extremely helpful when transplanting decorative grasses, planst and veggies, loosens caked in gravel and soil like nothing else, makes neat small furrows to seed herbs and seedling and on and on.. Be sure to get the D-handle. 10/10
That’s a bow rake designed for moving soil and clay etc not a landscaping rake for tilling. They do one of those in the range which I’m very tempted to buy. I’ll have a look out for d handle I have seen mixed reviews on them but might be worth trying. Thanks
Well done. Great to see industry thinking being used in organising your van and work practice. Keep it up. Clients in my experience like to see a well organised van with equipment maintained and looked after. It shows you care. Wish you every success with your new venture and look forward to seeing future videos.
Thank you very much for the kind words 👍
I use Wolfgarten tools every day and the the only one I've bought that's been a bit crap is the lawn edger! My favourites are the back and fourth hoe and the mini spring rake, excellent for clearing crap around flower beds!
That edger is shocking 😂
@@Grassrootspodcast Have either of you tried the lawn edge trimmer attachment with the black ball on?
@@alexk3948No I stayed away in the early days because I saw a few bad reviews
You would have a fit if you saw my van. I have a smaller van and twice as many tools in it, but I always know where the tool I need is, under everything else generally! 🤣
😂 as long you know where everything is.
What was the long reach trimmer please, and how long does a full charge last? Good job on the hedge.👍
Thanks, I use the attachment from the ego combi set. The battery life is amazing with a 5ah attached. I did all that hedge 1 battery with about half left. It’s very easy going power wise on the hedge trimmers. It’s mowers and blowers that suck the power.
@@Grassrootspodcast ok mate thankyou for the helpful reply, and all the best for the season ahead 👍
Awesome video! Ive been looking into electric equipment!
I think once you find a brand that works for you unless something goes wrong you stick with it,
I’m getting there with standardising kit. I made a mistake of buying random stuff at first. I’m slowly replacing stuff as it breaks
Amazing van set up👍 well thought out
Thank you
