- Never ending rain is leaving the ground saturated, Where is it leaving you and your business?
It’s still early in the year so don’t worry, there is plenty of time to make up the lost earnings from lawns.
Cheers for watching and good luck out there.
Rose pruning and climbing rose training/pruning, wisteria pruning, border mulching and fruit tree pruning kept me busy all winter. I need one of those etesia mowers!!!!
Always jobs to be getting on with 👍 tidy mowers👌 thanks for watching
Funny how we all have our own techniques, i strim
Anti clockwise as the other way just feels wrong to me now, but the main reason is strimmers throw out to the left due to how they rotate so doing it your way throws it into the borders and driveway rather than back in…👍
We sure do, anticlockwise for me feels wrong unless the wall next to the lawn is painted white 😂

Lawns wet here in Yorkshire hopefully this week will be goid. Thanks for tge video
Gotta get some good weather soon 🤞 I've a full week booked in and haven't even checked forecast 😅 cheers and good luck 👍
Good chat mate, ive only just started this week. Got a video coming out shortly on the rain as im sure most gardeners on youtube have 😂
It been neverending 🙄😅 cheers and will look forward to it 👍
Good point mate. Most commercial contracts are still set up for 14 cuts same as parish councils as they are still living like it’s the 90s and grass cutting was April to September.
My prices are still in the 90's 😂

Lewis i like your lawn mower best lawn mower out
They work for me👌 thanks for watching 👍
Nice one Nathan, I’m two weeks into grass cutting.
I find as soon as someone hears a mower going it sets everyone off.
That's true, soon as the neighbours start cutting 😅 cheers 👍
Up in northumberland here,you would need a jet ski
I recently bought a Weibang SSD 53 , wet grass , long grass , thick grass , no problem, fast too , I am impressed with it.
I only hear good things about them, the new twin blade deck one out yet? Looks interesting 👍 cheers
I really fancy a weibang for spare mower.Good price
Hedge and shrub work.
A few lawns.
Building some steps.
Sharpening and maintaining my kit.
Got my van sign written.
Done some advertising.
Working on the house to keep the misses happy.
The last one on the list seems the most important 😅 cheers and good luck with that list
We start next week. Looking forward to it. I find clients are quiet over the winter then middle of march find their voices and pipe up with jobs that could have been done weeks if not months ago🙄😅 that's the way it rolls. anyways just back from a weekend away in London with her Majesty. some nice parks and grounds down there. Good for grabbing different ideas
Hope you had a great time, those winter job requests just as you have no room from lawns are my favourite too🙄😂
Still have t done my first cuts yet, but there's plenty of pruning to do & on my hand and knees weeding,been on quite a few fencing & landscaping quotes recently so im trying to push that side of the business too 👍🏾
Sounds like you've got it sorted mate👍👍
Nathan I remember 15 years ago I did not start cutting grass until May and you are correct it would be April when we get going again without any winter work✌️
Damien
Definitely 👍 take care Damien
Very wet ground over here is southern Ireland Nathan. Getting a few cut. Looking forward to weather drying up mate.
Damien from Cork City✌️
Think it's the same everywhere mate, hopefully soon 🤞
This is our third week of the ‘cutting season’ Some of the grass we shouldn’t of cut with how wet it’s been but everything is growing like crazy right now so we’re trying to stay on top of things.
During winter it was fencing, building planters and lots of leaf clearing.
You down south? Great to get done what you can tho and you're right, keeping on top of it is sometimes worth the mess made. Cheers for checking in👍👍
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd South East mate, sounds like we’ve been quite lucky actually weather wise compared to the rest of the country. It’s been wet but it’s been very mild as well.
@@DullGardener you'll be wanting our water piped down to you by July then😂
I’m in the highlands of Scotland, think we’ve only had a couple of days above 10 degrees. No growth at all, fertilised alot of lawns but waiting for that to take effect, will be first week of April before I start cutting
It's warmer down with me now but same here with the growth, very little yet. Plenty of moss tho 😂 cheers for watching 👍
oooh a double cut 😉been mowing wet lawns for 2 weeks now sort of stop start. your right 15-20 year ago I never got back middle april & I can normally tick over till december now (never used to) 😊
Mid April til mid October and that was or right 🙄 spoilt over recent years 👍👍 cheers
Hi Nathan Nice one I Mowed a lawn 3 weeks ago 😀😀 Thanks again
Well done👍😅 I've done a few over the past weeks but only down to it being part of tidying jobs I think. Cheers mate
Hi Nathan
I started last week on grass not because I wanted to but like you said the customers wanted me to!
So I did wet or not😄👍
Just gotta do it sometimes😅 I've done a few but the wheels love to rip the ground up😬😬
I generally cut grass all year round always have. Not all lawns but several every month or so as it really never stops growing. I'm right by the sea with Subtropical gardens a stones throw away, so it's pretty mild.
Where I've been today I generally cut all yr round with the ride on but it's been so wet all winter I've never had a chance. It's literally 12" high and lush green now😫 ideal for
🐑🐏 but can't unfortunately. It's all strimmed today just waiting for some dry weather!!! My Husqvarna 216awd is going to struggle like made and it's going to look awful afterwards🙉👍
That'll be a hell of a first cut😬 hope it goes well😅👍👍
Cut the first Lawns of the season today. Down in Bristol the grass is pretty long so customers are keen get me to get on it.
Same here, they've just started to check I'm still alive as haven't been yet but most understand it's so wet😅 cheers for watching
Hi Nathan, you're right. Always something to do. Hedges, tidy ups. Or as you advised "rest". Soon be dry enough to cut grass 👍
Hedges usually for me🙄then the rest after them😅 cheers 🤞 for the good weather... for my sanity and mood as much as the grass😂
Il put it this way over here in ireland it hasnt stopped mate
Same here🙄
What make of lawn mower were you using?
Hi, etesia pro 46👍👌
We hope to get all our first cuts in by the end of the month
Next couple weeks should be better 🤞 only so many times I can keep busy washing a mower😂
That's why as a Gardener you don't just cut grass. You gotta be a Gardener. And a bit of Handy Man etc. i've cut a few on high, strimmed and edged ready for when it dries out. When it does 🤞
Yea it definitely helps to keep the bills paid having some variety 👍👍
I've done all sorts over the winter, I even assembled an IKEA cabin bed for a new customer! Made sure I charged her less than IKEA were charging to do it (£135!). Worked out well, I was back today cutting their shrubs and mowing the lawn and will be back every fortnight now 👍
Hi Nathan, can you tell me what lawn mower are you using here please?
Etesia Pro 46
How much is mower that your using
Etesia Pro 46, I paid £1140 inc Vat start of 2020 for them but guessing around £1400 now, worth every penny to me👌 cheers 👍
nightmare weather, but these types of mowers, do well in the wet, same as stihl, you just got to keep your deck clean....and your mind I said DECK!!!😁😆
I'm thinking this machine cleaning is actually beneficial even to a mower that already collects great 🤔 weather has definitely been testing lately
Started cutting last week nath in Chester.
It's at the stage in places where it's needing it, have a good season 👍
I think it’s partly to global warming that grass is growing later into December and even into January and feb
I love this mower I might be getting one mint condition for £700 a chaps selling his business and offered me an etesia 46 pro and Honda pro for £1200
Seasons definitely changing, has been going on from thr dawn of time but man thinks it can control it 🙄😂 mowers sound a good deal 😅
Hi Nathan, nice video. Grass is definitely growing in Bolton. Some of my customers desperate to have their grass cut, some worried it'll ruin their lawn so holding out on us starting.
It's starting to push up and longer on ones we missed at the end of last year, I'm holding off on most tho with the ground. Cheers 👍 good luck for next week 🤞
Council will put it off as king as possible to safe money and use it else where, so I wouldn’t go off what the council does
They do but customers around here don't usually worry if you're going to turn up until they see everything else being cut👍 cheers
weather for flymos and ducks
Definitely 😅
Good gear,that stihl backpack is'nt cheap.
Client's my lawn.looks rubbish.
Oh,well,,do it yourself,see what it looks like.
No idea,Ahhh.!!
Stihl backpack nearly 4 years old and doing great, great investment 👌 cheers
Every customer wants grass cut 😂
They're starting too👍 cheers for watching
Not the right way mate 😢😢😂😂
To where?😂
