while i have my disagreements with the way you run things sometimes....not my business not my responsibility. That being said, those guys did you dirty...and that passive aggressive bullshit on social media is a sure sign of sitting when you pee.
I use to fertilize for a living . And mow like 25 houses a week to make a little bit more cash . But i was in the green industry for 16 years ,mowing , aerating, dethatching, fertilizing a weed control and Landscaping and sod removal and replacement
In 2005 I started a commercial landscape company here in South FL with my parents. Truth of the matter is the single most difficult thing about running the business is the same problem everybody else has, finding good employees. I think that a lot of guys look at this job like its crap and just a quick way to make some money while they are at rock bottom, because obviously we don't always find the best of the best, but the truth is that this is a phenomenal career, with infinite possibilities. I think that those type of employees are just short sighted and they all eventually come back begging for their jobs.
There's more "curl" power than "lift" power, so when doing things like this you can take the slack out of the chain by lifting the arm with the bucket curled out, and then curl the bucket in. Did you notice how much difference there was when you used the "curl" to pull instead of the "lift" function?
I'm down to 6 people total on a 6 fleet crew, each crew has two crews, you find your keepers, unfortunately alot of this generation doesn't want to work, or wants to work but not learn the trade. Best of luck.
You can be a boss and tell your employees what to do but there is also a way to do that... my boss is always in a great mood about everything, obviously if me or someone else has a small mess up he gets a bit annoyed but he never makes us feel like bad workers. When he tells me to do something, I jump to it with no hesitation but it’s because of the way he says and or asks it... if he were to yell and scream everytime then Yea I’d say fuck You and your power trip too. I’m not saying that’s what you do man you seem like a great boss, im just expressing my opinion on the matter. Keep up the great lawn services my man !
By far thr BIGGEST reason why I eliminated the chances of potential employees working for me on almost every level, 1 part time ocasional guy I have work for me, on every other level I bought the bigger equipment to replace fhe employee factor, in fact after the purchase of my loader 10 years ago, the 2 guys I had working I looked them straight in the face and told them that machine is gonna eventually replace them, when they don't show up for work one day that loader will replace them pushing the wheel barrel, and it literally happened within 2 weeks they didn't show up, I didn't call them and beg and they basically quit, after that point I became 95% self reliant, now when I take those big jobs I get it done almost 100% myself unless my part time guy can work, usually I plan that stuff for a day when he can help. But as to employees, they have a ego issue where they can sometimes think they have more authority and hate being put in their place.
People need there lifes.some are lost and it makes no diference if they work.it would be the same if you were just walking to a store.I had so called freinds employees like that ..I was one in the past .LOST IS THE ISSUE.
Great Vid Nick...I really thought Brando would make it But that's how it goes.. Pizza is in for a Rude Awakening if he thinks another job will put up with everything you have . Just sad that most of them don't see how good they have it with you.
Nick I definitely have to say that although it's always hard having to let someone go I think you mad a great decision. On a good note I love the way the team looks right now. Danny boi really seems like he could be a crew leader with some mentorship from you. The sg ninja team look pretty good right now. Keep up the great work!!
Like you said u gave him alot of chances to see if he would change. i saw a connect between u and piz what kind of boss picks up there employees ur a real one for that nick. but theres a limit to everything.
Not my company bro, and your doing your thing, but some guys probably hate the fact hate the fact that your expecting them to work O/T and Sundays while your sitting in a truck talking to your phone, hire someone to fill your position and you just film, your part of the crew and lacking in performance, that’s just my opinion, I don’t do lawns anymore but I run the construction/hardscapes side of a company and do it by example, people like working with me cause I get down and dirty with the guys, I could never sit in a truck while the other guys are working.
As an 18 year old buisness owner, I find it hard to find employees that will listen to me because of my age. I have gone through 3 employees due to them thinking they could do the things they wanted and not the right way. That being said love the videos keep it up.
And forgive me .as i said we are all quilty.I just did whats called meddling'" and apologize but people need to know WHAT THE REAL ISSUE IS.they blame and pic and chose instead of seeing truth .it sets' one free.brotha
Wow!!!!! I know your struggle Nick, it happens to us all. But wow! Brando commando??? Who would've thought. Pizza was burnt out in my opinion,v I'm not sure he still wants to do lawn maintenance at all. I've seen it all to many times. Good luck Nick, you definitely know how to run a business and bounce back. Good Job
i love this new MJ guy hes always in the distance just thumbs up yes sir! solid attitude lol looks like all 3 guys want to work but i gotta question if per chance pizza pizza did return would you do a 4 person setup? man as much as theres dirty laundry with pizza he came in so useful at setting up the trailer mounts and on the spot trailer swaps just pretty mechanical Danny seems that way too though i hope nothing but the best though nick!
Number 1 struggle for lawn service owners is quality help. You only get a couple yrs out of good workers because they look for work that isn't seasonal and that pays more. This season im working alone as my route has changed. Im starting to work my way out of the business. Competition is fierce, tired of the weather dictating my days/weeks. Im Ready to move on. Its been a good run.
Well for pizza i would have let him go after the 3 time he over slept and with all the tension that you had last year with pizza i wouldn't of taking it this year . For Brando he was a good worker just wish he would have more respect for you and told you the truth
Employees come and go especially in lawn care and labor extensive work. It is expected in these types of fields of work things go bad. people say things you just have to ignore them. I expected pizza to leave Brando took me buy surprise but thins happen. Also nice excavator.
Simon from the UK here.... Well what can I say. Shocking news about Brando as we all thought he would be loyal to you. He was also on the mower and does this to you. I would ask for the shirt's back and then throw them away. As for pizza .... ENOUGH SAID LOL. There's going to be a few tears as a couple of subscribers loved him . Saving Green will always bounce back, was a sad day but James will pull us through. In a way it's good timing with Danny and the new guy looking for work. Still think James should sit in the front with you Nick. Your a good man Nick so don't let them bother you now. See you tomorrow ninja's
As a boss you cant tell your employees to do something you wouldnt do yourself thats how u gain the respect of the employee .. for a employee too out right do as they please if they get away with it once it will turn into habbit
much respect for running your business not being a pushover. imo you did the right thing. i know it's not how you wanted it to turn out. can't cater to attitudes of entitlement. #loyaltyiskey once you break that you're a liability not an asset got enough already.... bye
At least you still have James Bond. That's where it is. Lol. In all seriousness, sorry to hear about your sudden (and very abrupt) loss of crew. You're blessed to have gotten your replacements so quickly. I know some folks who have waited months for quality crew member replacements. Hang in there Ninjas!
Lol, can't believe James is scared to get them knees dirty. Tough break w/ other guys but the show must go on. Joking around makes the day go faster, but there has to be some separation between employees and the employer.
hey Nick I'm very experienced with mowing striping all heavy equipment I don't know know how to contact you but I'd love the job also can do all maintance even mechanic work to all mowers weed eaters etc. names b. j. Akers on facebook
Danny seems like a good guy. Michael is going to hang in there too I believe. Hard to say with bond lmao. Hate to see Brando go. Pizzas entitled attitude won't get him very far.
If you go on facebook start saying negitve toward's you Boss and Job and how he are she is a **** 95% of the your fired end of story . One other thing Jame's is losing weight
I’m so behind on the vids I’m just watching this for the first time now. I agree with all of your choices I would do the same thing with my company! Pizzas was saying some s$&t about you and I didn’t know why... this vid clears it up. You will be happier without him
while i have my disagreements with the way you run things sometimes....not my business not my responsibility. That being said, those guys did you dirty...and that passive aggressive bullshit on social media is a sure sign of sitting when you pee.
rusty shackleford I totally agree
I miss these videos. Man. I hope you read this nick!!! ❤ Much love my man. - kodaslongboardsskateboards!
20:48 Well, that's one way to load a tree stump! 😂🤷🏼♂
You can roll the stump over before tracking and desoil the the stump, it makes it easier to move, grate job
I use to fertilize for a living . And mow like 25 houses a week to make a little bit more cash . But i was in the green industry for 16 years ,mowing , aerating, dethatching, fertilizing a weed control and Landscaping and sod removal and replacement

I love your channel
that's why my boss is getting rid of the lawncare side of the business because its hard to get reliable lawncare workers that are responsible
Loved the burger king joke
There's more "curl" power than "lift" power, so when doing things like this you can take the slack out of the chain by lifting the arm with the bucket curled out, and then curl the bucket in. Did you notice how much difference there was when you used the "curl" to pull instead of the "lift" function?
Employees are like hungry stray cats, after you feed them for a while they think they own the place. Renters also ....
I'm down to 6 people total on a 6 fleet crew, each crew has two crews, you find your keepers, unfortunately alot of this generation doesn't want to work, or wants to work but not learn the trade. Best of luck.
he gone !!! NEXT
How many bosses take their employees to and from work? Have fun taking the bus!
Right out here in Vegas 95% of the jobs require you have reliable transportation to and from work and if you don't you won't get the job
You can be a boss and tell your employees what to do but there is also a way to do that... my boss is always in a great mood about everything, obviously if me or someone else has a small mess up he gets a bit annoyed but he never makes us feel like bad workers.

What's in the ninja juice
Your the boss right, you know the saying,your paying your saying
Big fan of your sunglasses
Dan the camera man
I have to say the vibe In the videos just isn’t the same with Brando gone ...
Love the way you do your videos. Seems like friends just talking. Some other guys always sound like they are doing an infomercial.
Damn grannys couch is filling up
FordMadness ha ha nice
It is what it is wish I i lived where you do I would ask you for a for a job did good luck
That's okay Nick, it is hard to find good help
You did the right thing.
Keep that great attitude Nick. Nice work from all of the Ninjas today!
People need there lifes.some are lost and it makes no diference if they work.it would be the same if you were just walking to a store.I had so called freinds employees like that ..I was one in the past .LOST IS THE ISSUE.
Where do you get your shirts made?
Great Vid Nick...I really thought Brando would make it But that's how it goes.. Pizza is in for a Rude Awakening if he thinks another job will put up with everything you have . Just sad that most of them don't see how good they have it with you.
I run under Backwatermafia & Phillips1988 lol
What Sassy has to use his delicate feminine side I think it's going to be hard for him better put his green thumb lawn
Hope everything gets better Nick and your season gets right back on track to success! 👊👊
You have a solid team right now it seems like. Hope everybody continues to shine bright!
Didn’t those guys not get along with each other or something?
nick your straight foward with everyone and loyal.
Dude made a go fund me to try to pay rent 😂😂
jarred marion 🤦🏻♂️
Time to give WASSUP world a call... LOL
Tyler Campbell yass bring jimmy back
Seems like you have some loyal ninjas on board now hopefully they work out for u nick. Love the videos.
Nick I definitely have to say that although it's always hard having to let someone go I think you mad a great decision. On a good note I love the way the team looks right now. Danny boi really seems like he could be a crew leader with some mentorship from you. The sg ninja team look pretty good right now. Keep up the great work!!
Ashley Blanchard thanks Ashley 😉👊🏻
Ashley Blanchard wassup girl
Rowan Landscapes 😍☀️
Like you said u gave him alot of chances to see if he would change. i saw a connect between u and piz what kind of boss picks up there employees ur a real one for that nick. but theres a limit to everything.
I watch you guys every day when i get off work
Pizza, branndon, and james was actually my favorite crew youve had.😢
Austin Holloway , I think you orderly named them wrong. James has to fit in the Middle😂 just saying lol
Dropped everything I was doin an started watching this
That is crazy I thought you went to 2 crews now expecting to see pizza and Brando kicking but not this ending
You need to put Danny in another truck he looks loyal and hardworking. Keep pushing brother...........
I second that. I like Danny. Fellow seems to have his head on straight.
Not my company bro, and your doing your thing, but some guys probably hate the fact hate the fact that your expecting them to work O/T and Sundays while your sitting in a truck talking to your phone, hire someone to fill your position and you just film, your part of the crew and lacking in performance, that’s just my opinion, I don’t do lawns anymore but I run the construction/hardscapes side of a company and do it by example, people like working with me cause I get down and dirty with the guys, I could never sit in a truck while the other guys are working.
Toughest thing to find is a hard worker in landscaping . We can find workers easily they just don’t last 🤷🏽♂️
As an 18 year old buisness owner, I find it hard to find employees that will listen to me because of my age. I have gone through 3 employees due to them thinking they could do the things they wanted and not the right way. That being said love the videos keep it up.
I hate when it happens! I’m young at my job some people laugh it off when I try to teach them stuff. I’m young somewhat now! But more experience
I bet you'll lose more employees than accounts.
And forgive me .as i said we are all quilty.I just did whats called meddling'" and apologize but people need to know WHAT THE REAL ISSUE IS.they blame and pic and chose instead of seeing truth .it sets' one free.brotha
My roots always keep me grounded roots remind me were I'm from. Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my roots.
Wow!!!!! I know your struggle Nick, it happens to us all. But wow! Brando commando??? Who would've thought. Pizza was burnt out in my opinion,v I'm not sure he still wants to do lawn maintenance at all. I've seen it all to many times. Good luck Nick, you definitely know how to run a business and bounce back. Good Job
i love this new MJ guy hes always in the distance just thumbs up yes sir! solid attitude lol looks like all 3 guys want to work but i gotta question if per chance pizza pizza did return would you do a 4 person setup? man as much as theres dirty laundry with pizza he came in so useful at setting up the trailer mounts and on the spot trailer swaps just pretty mechanical Danny seems that way too though i hope nothing but the best though nick!
For GOD sake ur the BOSS
Miss Pizza
Nick always go with married guys. Single and young are far in between responsible. Attitudes are a no, no when given instructions.
This is one reason I run my company by myself, there is times I question my decisions but I decided to run solo.
Number 1 struggle for lawn service owners is quality help. You only get a couple yrs out of good workers because they look for work that isn't seasonal and that pays more. This season im working alone as my route has changed. Im starting to work my way out of the business. Competition is fierce, tired of the weather dictating my days/weeks. Im Ready to move on. Its been a good run.
I noticed your crew in the background while you where in the truck greeting the customer with a firm handshake. Good move crew.
Have you tried temp service?
Great video Nick.
Well for pizza i would have let him go after the 3 time he over slept and with all the tension that you had last year with pizza i wouldn't of taking it this year . For Brando he was a good worker just wish he would have more respect for you and told you the truth
Nick, sorry to see it happen like this, but glad to see you got a good crew going!
Employees come and go especially in lawn care and labor extensive work. It is expected in these types of fields of work things go bad. people say things you just have to ignore them. I expected pizza to leave Brando took me buy surprise but thins happen. Also nice excavator.
maybe Danny will run the second crew for you. pizza had it made with you.
Pizza missed the boat. He could have buckled down and made a future in lawn care with you. The next guy will not accept his nonsense.
Hi Nick
Simon from the UK here.... Well what can I say. Shocking news about Brando as we all thought he would be loyal to you. He was also on the mower and does this to you. I would ask for the shirt's back and then throw them away. As for pizza .... ENOUGH SAID LOL. There's going to be a few tears as a couple of subscribers loved him . Saving Green will always bounce back, was a sad day but James will pull us through. In a way it's good timing with Danny and the new guy looking for work. Still think James should sit in the front with you Nick. Your a good man Nick so don't let them bother you now. See you tomorrow ninja's
A powerdrill with a small garden auger and those flowers would be planted in less than an hour LOL
Man brando and pizza whaaaat I seen pizza leaving but brando I didnt see going for awhile I hope 007 don't go
Keep up the good work Nick and let your voice be heard because your the head of the company your word must be heard and respected by your employees
Nick you are great boss I would work for you any day if I was live there. And the end the with a Hey James you big sassy guy lol
Pizza was a well dick and Im happy for you getting rid of him. You help those guys so much and you deserve respect hope you have an amazing week Nick
And just to say I don't do landscaping anymore but I love watching your videos
It is part of life nothing and nobody is perfect
It's good to see O. G. Danielson doing a good job for you sensai Nick!
The boss is just that, the boss and a leader. Gotta be thankful for the employment opportunities
Business always comes first
I'm the boss if tell you to do something if you refused we gonna have problems
As a boss you cant tell your employees to do something you wouldnt do yourself thats how u gain the respect of the employee .. for a employee too out right do as they please if they get away with it once it will turn into habbit
It's a shame it comes up all of a sudden, but you're better off not having to deal with stuff like that.
Way to keep employees... Employees. You have to be the owner and there can only be one! 👌💪
much respect for running your business not being a pushover. imo you did the right thing. i know it's not how you wanted it to turn out. can't cater to attitudes of entitlement. #loyaltyiskey once you break that you're a liability not an asset got enough already.... bye
At least you still have James Bond. That's where it is. Lol.
In all seriousness, sorry to hear about your sudden (and very abrupt) loss of crew. You're blessed to have gotten your replacements so quickly. I know some folks who have waited months for quality crew member replacements. Hang in there Ninjas!
I will say I think this crew seams to work a lot better. Dan The Man! I like him doing a little video time!
Lol, can't believe James is scared to get them knees dirty. Tough break w/ other guys but the show must go on. Joking around makes the day go faster, but there has to be some separation between employees and the employer.
Gonna miss Brando he was a good guy, hard worker too.
hey Nick I'm very experienced with mowing striping all heavy equipment I don't know know how to contact you but I'd love the job also can do all maintance even mechanic work to all mowers weed eaters etc. names b. j. Akers on facebook
Danny seems like a good guy. Michael is going to hang in there too I believe. Hard to say with bond lmao. Hate to see Brando go. Pizzas entitled attitude won't get him very far.
Brando Perhaps got $1/h extra at the New company... IF he have had asked you he might got $2,,,
Pizza 🍕- no comment
Get Buddy back 👍✌️
Positive vibes!
Nick how many yards did you get too before you quit your full time job?
Sad to see them go but i wish them the best of luck.
If you go on facebook start saying negitve toward's you Boss and Job and how he are she is a **** 95% of the your fired end of story . One other thing Jame's is losing weight
am glad pizza is gone i knew he wouldnt last much longer
i liked brando tho
Ok James gets the front seat now right he's been there longest kook beans or am I wrong
Nick, you do what you see fit to run YOUR company, I have the upmost respect for you...
Hippies never have respected authority. #vape #vtec #honda #gauges
lol real talk Nick, you gonna do what I tell you, Pizza new name will be Burger 😂😂😂
Gonna miss and Pizza and Brando none the less. But things happen. We've seen it before
wait you are the owner right if not then you are the boss so you set rules and the ninjas follow them easy to do he is just a child in a mans world
Sad, but it’s the way it goes. Bye piece! Great video nick!!
My first video will be out on Thursday!! You will see one of my two NEW MOWERS!!
I’m so behind on the vids I’m just watching this for the first time now. I agree with all of your choices I would do the same thing with my company! Pizzas was saying some s$&t about you and I didn’t know why... this vid clears it up. You will be happier without him
