We’re loving our husqvarna battery equipment for our business! Tried other brands and they all failed us but not husqvarna. Just ordered the pole saw!
Awesome!
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare is the electric stuff better than gas I have all husqvarna gas stuff
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare hi my name is Chris I like your video and you are so cool 😎
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare Heyy I love your videos
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare where are you located and do you do Mcminnville wrf or osp?
I hate mowing yards with pools. Nothing but headaches.
The beauty of owning your own business!! Simply don’t do them! 🤣🤣🤣 your decision!!
Lol I'm a pool guy. I know how this goes haha.
I hate doing it period
Yes I love what you said, "I don't work for free guys." Just because it needs to be done doesn't mean you should be obligated to do it. You gotta get paid for all the extra work around the yard. Great work man 👍
Absolutely!!
Yeah, typical "attempt" by customers to not pay for something, but they hope the guy will do it anyway.
Facts!
i been watching u for a while im on the same page. Dont work for free.an only do what im payed for...
I've always encountered customers trying to get free work from me and the other landscapers. It's usually the Indians that try that.
I’m starting my lawn care business next spring, with only a push mower, an edger and a string trimmer. I have learned a lot from your videos. What to do when a customer has a pool hadn’t crossed my mind. I’m in the Midwest where we have 4 month winters, most people have above ground pools if they have pools at all here.
Best of luck!
Honestly after 4 yrs or expirience, and a zero turn of my own, ditch the edger, and get a blower. Cuz I edge real nice with a weed eater
I respect the fact that you take the time to really do the job right, instead of shaving a few moments here and there to squeeze in just 1 more yard that day.
That type of quality shows when you are finished.
Why am I taking a break from my lawn business and watching your lawn business lol
😂
I thought I was the only one 😂😂 I am in lunch break tho
haha I'm strimming & edging my yard, taking a break, drinking a coffee, watching this! 🌍👍
I like these start to finish on the job go pro videos with narration.. Very helpful, keeps it real and makes me feel better about some of the tedious things I have to do in customers lawns. Thanks Johnny!
Glad to hear it!
Love the idea for blowing around the pool, will definitely be doing that next time I mow.
Hey man I have been watching your videos lately and I'm 17 and let me tell you, you have inspired me to pursuit and commit to starting my own lawncare business when I can thank you!
Way to go! There’s BIG money in this if you do it right!
That is awesome!
Same here
start now your at the perfect age
Good thing you video your jobs just in case, I’ve had a greenworks mower for 6 years and love it
His videos are calming for a person. Quite satisfying.
Thank you!
I was just thinking that! Calming AF!!
Must feel weird for you, Johnny, that your hands are tied, with regards to no plant beds, shrubs, etc; but if that’s what the customer wants, then that’s it. You still provide the highest quality lawn care. Oh, and how you line trim is surely a matter of personal preference. Great video and very informative. Bless you and take care ⭐️⭐️⭐️
It's really hard 😃👍
I am watching this later in the evening. The sounds of the trimmer and your voice have just about lulled me to sleep. 😂
😂😂😂👍
This is my first year doing lawn care services and I telling you seeing your videos as a successful entrepreneur is encouraging. While it not my first year working as a independent contractor as I do other kinds of work too. It does encourage me to see that the lvl of work I provide is on par with what I do as well. Sometimes I find myself doubting if I not doing enough as a professional should. But the reality is not all customers are capable of being made happy and some customers are just over joyed to even see you arrive no matter what the job is.
I'm there with you man when I used to work at all seasons ground care we had to do the same thing
Hey Johnny! I just picked up a 62” Toro ZMaster. Lords willing I’m going make my money back as fast as possible!!! Lol!
You will, definitely!
@Executive The Don Amen! Lords willing, You and I both!!!
You got a Beast 🤣
@@flacohellion3306 Thank you! I’m giving it a full tuneup!
That's funny when you mention trimming left to right. When I first started I wondered why people did that because the trimmer rotates the opposite direction on most tremors and it cuts better so after a few years I finally forced myself to learn how to go right to left and after I retrain myself I won't trim left to right very often any longer. It's just a matter of knowing how to hold it and keep it off the ground. But it definitely isn't someone a new guy can do right off. Like I stated in another video of yours I've noticed you have a lot of electric or battery power I mean and I've just been a little leery of them especially battery powered push mowers. I always thought Green works was a real cheap generic company but you mentioned it was a commercial style push which I did not know that they made. I'm just me myself and I I only mow around 33 yards I believe I have not counted them for a while but I had around 47 and I could not keep up so I downsized. I've been in business long enough that a lot of my equipment is wearing out and I've been thinking about battery powered trimmers and blowers and possibly to push mower but I'll definitely keep gas powered for the thicker stuff. I had a rotator cuff going out in my shoulder and pulling ropes just absolutely kills me. Does your equipment stay charged for the whole entire day? I have a lot of DeWalt batteries but they're only 20 volt and I was thinking of buying some DeWalt stuff since I had the batteries but I realize I'll probably need more power than that.
I can watch that edging all day. Love it.
I have to say your properties be looking picture perfect after you're done 👍🏾
I appreciate that
You trimmed around the pool the same way I would and I don’t mind the gravel in the beds at the properties, but lava rock is its own category. Lava Rock is equivalent to trying to trim and blow around popcorn 🍿 🤣
Your videos are very relaxing for me. Thanks. I just cut at home in south Louisiana
That's awesome
Literally just started a mowing business today and the second yard I did had a pool, no matter how much I tried to avoid grass going into the pool it just kept on going 🤣
I had 1 pool customer took 2 guys 1 weedeating and another blowing away from the pool BUT I charged an additional $25 just for that reason and he gladly paid it
My Echo black diamond line does break especially with Johnson grass when this happens i switch to STIHL CF3 Pro i don't get much breakage from this line or if all else fails i get my Reaper blade out it's an MTD triarc edger blade that i sharpened into a brush blade this blade is nuts it chews up pretty much anything in its way it is called "The Reaper" because of its curved cutting edges resembles a Reaper's sythe and because it is an edger blade it's overall rounded shape allows me to use it near walls,patios,wooden fences,trees and telephone poles without snagging into them.
Thanks for sharing!
Nice work Johnny!! Very thorough.
Much appreciated!
Black Diamond weed eater line is really good
Properties with pools
Consider putting a small pool skimmer net in your trailer, they're cheap. Carry it with you and if you happen to get any debris in the pool - most of it floats - you can skim it out in a minute or two. If there is a whole bunch use your blower to blow it to the opposite edge, then skim it out.
You seem super chill.
Thanks!
I heard that the echo black Dimond string.105 is really good the .105 is super strong and doesn't break easy
Up here in Indiana, we have to keep the string trimmer guard on. Makes for extra weight of course, on the trimmer.
Always gets the Job down God Bless You 🥰🙏🏽✝️
I'm in Australia, doing same work. you have an awesome setup, love your equipment.
Thanks and welcome
Got a text about an hour ago from a customer who wants me to try and keep grass out of pool. Well it's surrounded by grass and only 2 ft away. I told them "I'll try" even though in my estimate it says not responsible for grass in pool.
Thanks for your service!
Any time!
I had the same issue with echo string line I had to switch to a different kind I believe it a black line twisted I forget the exact name. Works pretty well!
A lock keeps honest people honest
Yes!
If they won’t give me a key for the back gate, I move on.
I wonder how many times he says “you know” haha. Love the vids man!
😂
Take a shot every time he does say it
Time. Is. Valuable.
Johnny, I couldn't believe it while I was reading the title of this video. You who allways work so neat accused by throing stuff in the pool. So I thought; let's watch carefully when he is working near the pool. I didn't see you mowing or blowing anything into the pool! So glad you filmed this. So there must be an other reasen for the stuff in the pool, but you didn't do it.I was upset and thought ; would he still work for the costumer when they accuse him for something he didn't do?But I see you are a proffesional and you take care as usual.
There was no subtiteling and I can't hear what you said but I think you did this job very professional and neat as always.
Thank you very much!
I know it might be a pain in the neck extra step sometimes. But in this type of business. if you can. take a short video ort pictures that have a date stamp on them on the property before each service or work. then take same footage afterwards This is to protect you and show the property before and after. When they try stuff like this, In this case your before footage would have show the dirty pool prior to your service/work.
I like your videos and the equipment you use I use the same equipment i don't like gas powered stuff like weedeaters and lawnmowers and blowers I been cutting grass for about 4 almost 5 years now watching these videos teaches me stuff I need to know and I learn from the videos
Cool, thanks!
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare your welcome
The older I get the more you
Appreciate those weight specs
I am going to start nxt season
With electric equipment man the
Husqvarna and mower quiet I can
Mow well maintained accounts early
With out waking the neighborhood!
If you use the echo line it needs
to be the twisted skinny line the
reg line snaps constantly!
Hey Johnny I love watching you I'm for South Georgia and start a Lawncare Business
Hi you are so thorough. I hate when the lawne guy leave grass in driveway and say he will be back later?
Oregon.080 Gatorline Round is my pick!
Brother I don't know how you deal with customers bitching and then some of these cyber lawn care experts in the comments. Better man than me!
On my way to get the greenguard now got a 36 inch Cub Cadet really hope the regular one works
I need to start wearing long sleeve shirts. I wear gloves and everything else but my arms are always exposed. Now my wife nags me about how dark my arms are cause of it lol
I am blessed to live in areas and mow in areas where I do not have to lock things up. I know these City guys that have lawn Care businesses basically have to have a closed in trailer so they can lock it. Plus it does keep everything dry and nice but I still prefer my open trailer. Now if I had to mow in terre haute Indiana or Indianapolis Indiana then I would probably buy a closed trailer and lock everything up. LOL
We got those locks for our snowmobile trailer. So i guess that shows we trust them to protect $60,000 in snowmobiles so I reccomend them
Enjoyed watching !
Glad you enjoyed
Great tips Johnny. Yeah you gotta get paid for your services lol. Have a great night.🌙🙏🏾✝️🙏🏾✝️🇺🇸
You got that right
I would never do that.
Iike the detail of that machine.
Great video, I do have a question, that didn't ask before. If you had to edge around that pool and if the grass was kinda high how would you edge without getting grass in the pool, or hardly any at all? Thanks
It always happens
You did a great job.
Good job
Cutter
Man I would have rolled up that hose. 😂. I just would 🤣
Good for him he didn't 😁
What size trailer you have? Tell that commenter that everyone doesn't live in Mayberry USA, so we have to secure our property. I see you left the key in the Toro when you went to the back to blow. Do you typically leave the key in the machines unattended?
Also where I'm from we do not deal with flower beds unless the customer wants to pay a hefty price and usually they do not. I have tried over the years to get people to stop mulching their flower beds because 99% of them do not take care of them and they get overgrown with weeds. I've got two so far that quit mulching and put White Rock in place of the mulch and they would put succulent plants in them that are still in the containers and had a weed barrier underneath and two years later not one weed. There is another lady I'm trying to talk into doing White Rock or river rock. Every spring she has the most beautiful landscaping and that only lasts about 2 weeks until the weed start growing. A lot of people don't realize that mulch turns to dirt and even if you have a barrier down you will still have weeds from little seedlings that's blowing through the air or birds or however they get in there and then they grow in the mulch. I stepped away from doing mulch years ago I will only do rock now. The properties look so nice with White Rock instead of mulch. A lot less headache. Anyway good job.
I get it to they don’t understand even when there is wind 💨
The only electric brand I trust is mainly EGO and also Husqvarna but I would definitely recommend the EGO line
I personally didn't like the EGO brand because it was too heavy
You listen to salsa 😳my man 👍😎
Yes I do!
I agree with echo black line. I think the echo orange line is cheaper and less breaking.
Real good job now when can you come to Pittsburgh and do my lawn 👍
🤔😆👍
Great vid as always. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
your very hard working you deserve a tip
Thanks!
I saw on a fix it show that trimmer line over time will become brittal when old they suggest to soak the line in water to let it rejuvenate and when it dries you will have less breakage........Manufacturers buy in bulk so there is no telling how old and dry the line is at purchase some could be a year or two old❗️
Great idea about blowing across the pool.
I wish I had more customers I only have one
Keep grinding
Give up
Just kidding bro good luck finding customers hope it goes well
Keep going don’t stop for shit bud more relationships=more business
Just make sure you do the best you can with that customer.
Black diamond line is ok but it wears quick l like Stihl commercial round 095 and Stihl X line 095 both are dark green and light green l like the Oregon line round too take care my friend 😁
Put the spool of echo string in a bucket of water for about a day to soak and it will to get its elasticity back
you posted this yesterday saying that it was already dirty ...lol
Love this video. Thank you. Subscribed now.
Awesome, thank you!
Sorry for all the comments but you asked for a comment on the line. I have had the same issue with the twist line from echo and the twist line from another company I cannot remember the name but it does not take long for trimmer string to get dry and brittle. That's why I do not buy trim restring that I know has been sitting in their place for a long time. I like to get the fresh batch just like my food. LOL
But you are right they do break I had the 0.95 I do believe and in my hex string I use 105 normally and I keep it out of the Sun because it will become fragile over time. But the twist line is a lot quieter if that matters to you and I'm not so sure on how it cuts or rips the grass. There is a TH-cam channel or a guy use a high-speed camera to show all the different styles of trimmer string. Some of the ones you thought would cut really nice actually do not. I cannot remember the name of the channel but if you type it in TH-cam it will pop up. The best trimmer string I have found is made by Stihl and it's the hex 95 or 105. Again sorry for all the comments. Have a good one.
Wow, did you see the size of that spider at 7:38 lol
Any yards over able to knee height I cut higher then cut a little lower to put less stress on grass & to only take 1/3 of the blade off so it doesn’t hurt the roots and expose them to direct sun cause we always get blamed if the grass dies after we cut it
Yea echo line isn't the best. We use it because my uncle gets it cheap but honestly I don't really like it. I do 80 percent of trimming on our crew and I don't mind that at all I actually love to trim because I'm good at it and I really do take pride In my work but I wish it was stronger. We use the .95 Personally I like that size the best. It's strong enough and doesn't bog down the engine too much. I use a Husqvarna gas trimmer. I love it. I used to like my old redmax from ten years ago but mine broke and the new one my uncle bought just isn't the same so I use the Husqvarna now and that trimmer is a beast. I love it I do miss the old redmax ones tho. The one I used had lasted me 8 years of consistent use. Thats impressive for a small engine
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Looking good!
Thanks!
In the beginning you said, "mow only" yet at the end of the video you are trimming and picking up twigs. ??
I cannot convince myself to use a tractor and mow in all directions, stripes in a different direction every week is the standard for me.
Great Job Johnny 🥰✝️👑
On that echo line same issue brotha seems crap lately... breaks apart like you said used to seem okay but might be changing my preferences
Small cordless mower with bagger keep your stuff tight down sized thats right before you get the (YOUR SERVICES ARE NO LONGER NEEDED HAVE A RESTRAINING ORDER IN WITH YOUR LAST PAY)
That was a less than good looking yard to begin with. They need to put down some turf so you have something worthwhile to cut. That pool had stuff in it when you got there. Great job as always!
Echo line .95 when you get to the middle of a roll it goes quicker
Somebody said that you’re supposed to soak your line and water helps so doesn’t break is easy I don’t know if this is true or not but I thought I seen this on another channel
I'm shocked a battery powered mower would bother with powered wheels. Push mowers really don't need powered wheels. Battery would last much longer.
It’s a nice convenience
@@defaultcamo4288 Easy way to sell more batteries to be able to finish the entire lawn I guess.
ECHO line! I've heard that you can soak any trimmer line in water to bring back the original quality and avoid being disappointed by product that might have been on the shelf longer than it probably should've. Have you heard this also? And what is your currently preferred line to use?
Umm... did I just watch him blow grass in the pool 😂🤣😭😭😭
It's simple: Lawncare guy coming over, or if you're not going to be using the pool, put a darn pool cover on! You can't make everyone else responsible for making your stuff dirty because you were too lazy to keep it covered. What, too expensive? You can buy a 10 foot by 25 foot sheet of plastic for $13.
If you don't lock its like, a sign help your self.
Wet your line hermano and put it in the fridge any line is better wet
Hola, thanks for replying to previous message, una pregunta. How much do you charge if you can't get into backyard due to fence?medium size
Depends on the backyard size usually 20 to 30% more
Hey Johnny what size speed feed head is on your 520ilx? Im about go all Husqvarna battery as well! Any modifications to fit it on the battery trimmers?
