Are big tidy up jobs any better than doing easy lawn cuts? Neglected commercial site completed.

- This is the final part of an ongoing job to clear the overgrown areas around a large commercial site. This type of work can provide some variety to regular maintenance but it's often harder work and needs a lot more kit which makes you question if it's worth doing.#groundsmaintenance #lewisgardenservicesltd #stihl
Video was really good quality as usual
Cheers 👍 thanks for watching👌
I put one medium sized clearance job on every day and then a few mowing jobs to finish, works for me.
Sounds like a plan👌 nice to mix it up
Interesting video man , big thumbs up
Cheers 👍 thanks for watching 👌
Hi Nathan, great hedgtrimmer. Another honest video 👍
Cheers 👍
Im here for the comedy
😂you wouldn't laugh if you saw the stuff off camera 😬 cheers 👍
Hi Nathan, Another honest day 's work. Great hedgetrimmer 👌
Cheers 👍 that's the one I don't mind abusing as it's earned a load over the year I've had it. It's just so easy to use I don't want to use anything else now😅
I love doing those type of jobs. There a welcome change from just mowing. Only last Saturday I did a residential back garden. 6ft high nettles the full length and breath of it. I got the mulching blade on it and it was down in no time. Price wise it worked out very nicely. I'd do one every day if I could. 👍
Nice one 👍 those mulching blades are so useful on the overgrown jobs
Top video as always pal I hate that sort of work
Cheers 👍I don't mind them now and then😬🤔
Nathan I had tennis/golfers elbow for years,had a shockwave treatment on them.Game changer for me sorted my right one out and really improved the left.There’s a physio in ponty that has the shockwave machine 👍it’s bloody painfull mind😂😂
Cheers that's something I'd look into if it came back like last winter, has eased off now 👍 thanks for watching 👌
I don't mind cutting lawns. But I love the big over grown cutbacks the boss finds. Brushcutter chainsaw magic. Also I don't know what happened to the last video. But I've had three interactions with life's slowest learners
Nice to have a mix of jobs...that video is due Saturday, TH-cam let it out then pulled it..what's that all about 🙄let's call it a preview 😂
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd well it's worth the wait 🙂
i remember doing a similar overgrown site chucking the hedgecutter about straight into a wire shopping basket....i was not happy
It's the risk you take using the hedge trimmer I guess but that's never ideal. Heard a few horror stories tho with wire and mulching blades, I know you can fit the proper guards but never seen anyone use one.🤔
Good honest work. At least it's going to be a regular job so you do have a vested interest and the work will become easier. Have you ever thought of using napalm?
Plenty to do here...when I find the time😅keep the naplam for the knotweed 😂
Just got to the "shoe" bit.. it takes a special type of person to do gardening for a living. We're a tough breed. Not even about being a hard arse tough, there is that but I'm talking mentally, to be able to do a hard, grubby, dirty and loud job with not always but sometimes rude as hell customers or members of public and yet keep a smile on and grin through it and enjoy your work, or at least try to, takes patience. Good practice.
You've right and I think less people like this type of work as time goes by, give it a few years I'm sure it'll be more of a wilderness/ wildlife management role which may not be a bad thing. Until then I'll still be swinging hedge trimmers and the like around 😅take care👍
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd There'll always be jobs for gardeners while we have a planet Earth 👍🏻
I have to agree, commercial work isn't great money anymore, the hayday is long gone, iv stopped doing any commercial site's, but jobs that make you sweat and challenging are much more interesting, compared to mowing any day, I swear the building moved, when pulling the ivy lol.
Hope you had spare boots in van.
👍👍
Yea I think you're right, had a commercial today try and put our schedule back a few weeks and that's all hedges but tried to jump on the ' it hasn't grown much in the warm weather ' bandwagon 🙄 The old redback boots soon dried out, this was one of those hottest days😂😅
For some reason I find working on one job all day much more tiring than doing 4-5 different jobs. Maybe it's having a break travelling in between or change of muscles used...not sure.
I've got to agree with you, you just don't get a break or find an easy rhythm of work on these bigger jobs. This last bit was the easiest tho so wasn't too bad👍
Just wondering what you charged for this project
Hi, we were running at about £300 per section here, not everything got filmed each time tho. Thanks for watching 👍
Private non commercial all day long and you get a cup of tea most of the time.
Cut of tea on every job, I'd we watering the plants every other job😅
always carry a spare pair of socks been there done that there is more money in mowing if you have a tight round but having rideons your no better off than you are with pedestrian just a bit more knackered rideons are harder to work on need the space and storage aswell as the transportation etc
Definitely have some spares in van 👍glad to have a break from the mowing over winter but yes, easier and often more profit In it
i know what you mean mowing does get tideous especialy in the summer heat
Feeling that way about autumn hedge work now 😬
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd dont help being cold this year aswell bbbbrrrrr
The rest of this week❄️❄️😬
57 this year so just mowing is better on my body .gone over to battery hedge cutting much better .
Sounds ideal 👍 much easier on the body and the battery gear can be a life saver. Thanks for watching 👌
Two days mowing a week. Gives the body a break. And the other three break the monotonous mowing. I don't have many commercial yet but there must be something said for minimising exposure to residential clients nonsense!!! 🤣
That's definitely true about being away from people on sites like this, have a video out Saturday about my favourite encounter with a residential job neighbour... It went public for half hour this evening somehow so you may have already seen it😂🤔 cheers for watching 👍
Not yet...I hope its as ranty as it sounds...that'd be great 😀
