Grass left to get this high would've triggered an HOA violation in many cities here in the U.S., or at least funny looks by the neighbors. You arrived in the nick of time and saved the day, did this lady a solid! Great work, and loved the video!
probably, but the stihl trim line works wonders, and when going against rocks debris and metal fencing, means I am not stop starting changing heads, I have tried all sorts of heads, ones with metal wire instead of cord, poly cut heads, blades, but find good strong trim line just can't be beat IMHO
I'm using a strimmer for the first time tomorrow. Your video has been really helpful and calmed my nerves. This is my first garden and it's bloody overgrown lol. 😎
Lol I'm watching this and I'm Ike does he know lawn mower exists? Lol then you whip out the Honda and I'm like that Honda could have easily handled this. Either ways still a fun watch.
yes. you did a GREAT job. on the other hand, didn't you say this was a special job for a friend of your wife. as a female of the species myself, can't help but think...teach her to "fish." would love to have seen you showing her how/ having her do a bit of trimming herself. elsewise the situation repeats itself and by end of summer, yard overgrown again.
That Benny Hill music in the background is an odd choice. It tends to confer ineptitude, and you do good work. Maybe some different stock music. Just one guy's opinion...
Or maybe he just likes it. Maybe it is just because it’s fun. Try to look at the glass being half full. You likely wouldn’t have commented at all then.
@@shitloveaduck I like it, think it's fun, but believe the context might be wrong for a TH-camr who makes money on videos. Yakety Sax, with extremely rare exceptions, is the backdrop of someone doing something stupid. But hey, just my opinion...
@@BeFaithful00 I don't make money on the videos, although some other companies do when I use my own cover versions of music :( benny hill music was chosen because of the way I speeded up the video.
I really undercharged for this job, £60 is what I charged, The way I charge for jobs like this, is to work out what I would want if the grass was normal height and It was a regular job, then work out how many of those it had missed that year. +waste £100 min
Realistically what should have been done is basic compost! The raw material is there, everything is in place, there's plenty of space... So, it just make sense. ;-)
3 or 4 passes on mulch or side discharge and would of ground all that up with no need to bag or pickup, would of also kept the nutrients in the yard. What most pros do here.
its different, a rid on would be way too big, side discharging would have blown grass in neighbours garden, mulching and mowing would be dangerous because of debris in the grass.

thanx for watching
You sir. Saved my life as well as a good few quids :)
Strimming is very satisfying but clearing up afterwards is a pain .
👍👍defiantly
Just leave the cuttings if it’s not too thick. They fertilise the lawn.
Very satisfying 😂👍👍👍
Thanks 😅
Wow, there was a sidewalk under there! Lol! Did a great job!!
thanx yeah didnt know there was a path
Was very satisfying watching that, now must do ours :-)
Watching this video has now having memories of watching Benny Hill when I was growing up .
he was funny
@@TKG they dont make him like that anymore. He was ahead of his time .
PolyCut head would have been PERFECT for this. Great vid man

@@TKG I always use a council petrol strimmer for my back garden
I'm using a strimmer for the first time tomorrow. Your video has been really helpful and calmed my nerves. This is my first garden and it's bloody overgrown lol. 😎
good luck for tomorrow
Thank you. Pray for me lol
Nice job🤙🤙
Amazing video and amazing channel and amazing job friend 😀😎👍❤
thanx for watching
Great job. Always wonder why people let it get this long. Especially when takes a full day to strim down!
I know done a few like this now, shame as the grass always looks awful
Yeah and takes so long that you think why didn't they ask you sooner and save themselves money
My grass is about that long. I really want to cut it but it’s difficult for me.
This would be a candy compared to my plot of thick grass land.
thanx for watching
I love doing this sort of job Reas bud
yeah love the before and after
With that music I expected Benny Hil to run by playing grabass
Nice little job that.with regular cuts it would look great
Great video mate 💪🏼
Glad you liked it
I watch a couple of videos of people cutting grass and naw all I get its ads for lawn mowers grass trimmers ect 😅😅
I have a couple of mowers for sale.....lol
The song is Yakety Sax by Boots Randolph. Released in 1963.
also used when Benny hill got chased
Nice video. Had a Benny Hill feel about it , Hope the grass is still short there ?
no idea, never went back, some people just have a one off cut then let it grow again
Lol I'm watching this and I'm Ike does he know lawn mower exists? Lol then you whip out the Honda and I'm like that Honda could have easily handled this. Either ways still a fun watch.
You can get really low with a strimmer
With the backing track i was expecting to see 'Stihls Angels'!
lol
Nice work! You are obviously not afraid of some good hard work and take some pride even if it is not the type of work you usually do. :)
Strimming is rather easy and painless, but I can't say the same thing about raking !
I mainly use a backpack blower now, saves a lot of time
@@TKG Does a blower work in rough ground ???
@@stephens2755 depends on how dense, never really tried
@@TKG No, I'm asking that because I really want to replace the rake with a blower, so I'm really interested !
The neighbours would appreciate a little use of the oh fashioned rake rather than blower the crap goes every were!
Benny Hill!!!!
lol
Why was this so satisfying? xD
its always satisfying to see the end reas-ults
song from the benny hill show watched when i was a kid
I thought it fitting
I've done some so bad that I have had to use a steel blade to tackle the brambles, stingers and mallow.....even found some grass!
Have toy trued the oragon mulcher for thicker stuff like brambles, i have a video (game changer) that shows this blade off.
@@TKG Thanks for that , I will look for that video.
This vid made me sneeze
bless you

thank you for watching, I dot think it was a lack of knowledge but a lack of time, they are both care assistants and they don't get a lot of time.
And now you know why "the other guy on youtube" uses his lawnmower. Pride before the fall.

Sguty
who is the other guy everyone is talking about?
Could have used a scythe to start … be the grim reader of that grass.
A scythe can be quicker if you have the strength, a strimmer will mulch though
I'm in the middle of doing 2 huge backyards that the grass is up to my belly. On day number 2 atm looking for online inspiration lol
I hope this inspired you.
Nothing worse then strimming get sent on loads of jobs like that the Honda 536 straight through it no problem
until you hit something and bend the crank shaft, there was a lot of rubbish in the lawn
We don't get given enough time to strim and we only use 90r strimmers . Not bent a crank yet bent a couple of blades
I thought as a gardener/lawn care specialist you were supposed to leave grass and shit all over the lawn now im all confused duh.
This amount would have smothered the grass. Normal grass clippings from a regularly maintained yard are good.
tidy job
thanxz for watching
Nice video
cheers, I quite enjoyed that job. wish I could have gone back regular to maintain and turn it into a proper lawn.
@@TKG if you were helping you it would be better for you to get better at cutting gardens because helping is a right for everyone

Great video and LOVE the Benny Hill music with the fast motion.
it took you 3 hours to do, what did you charge?
not enough
Realistically for such a state the minimum I'd charge would be like £200 - excluding removal.
John M How much work u gonna get at £200. Really!!!
The Benny trimmer lol 😂 🤷🏻♂️✌🏻😂
Now I don't feel bad for turning away from a job like this
why is that?
You have got to be a quick worker....you got that down in 18 mins 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣....👍
I wish, took 3 hrs in total, thanx for watching.
don 't feed the trolls
Take the flare thing off the blower it works much better off
have a back back blower now,so much better, tried it with the flare attachment but didn't like it
That’s easy I’ve done a loads of them overgrown gardens
I've done a few
Is that the Stihl fs91r?
Thinking of getting one.
no, its a stihl Kombi with strimmer/brush-cutter attachment. stihl KM130r which is now km131r.
why is a cutter w gas better than a cutter w batteries? thanks
For a job like this the battery would have been long gone before the end of the job...
battery woulkd not cope with a job like this, even today
What would you charge for a job like this???

He needed a big garbage can he can set those bags in so he can just dump the clippings. Would have saved a ton of time.
we have to pay for our bins on a yearly sub, and the client didn't want to pay,
Realistically what should have been done is basic compost! The raw material is there, everything is in place, there's plenty of space... So, it just make sense. ;-)
Who is the you tuber?
they no longer on youtube
Hi mate what model is the Stihl trimmer and how long did the job take?
Looks like an effective method to whipper then rake and mow.
its the Kombi130 with strimmer head, took about 3 hrs including waste removal
@@TKG yeah takes me around a similar amount of time depending on how bad the place is.
Just mow it
too much debris in the grass to just mow
What's the strimmer calls?
this was the stihl km130 with strimmer attachment
@@TKG Thanks for your reply. That is £500. is this correct?
@@ajb5114 about that plus about 150 for the attachment
@@TKG I'm not clear? Is this the one you're using in the video cost £150?
@@ajb5114 its a stihl Kombi motor you buy attachments for it, its about £550 now for the motor and about £150 for the attachment.
Você é muito muito mesmo queria saber o preço dessas máquinas interessei sim com cortador de grama e podar árvore
depende de onde você é e o que você compra hope thats translated ok
Can you post the same video but without time lapse
sadly no, I no longer have the original
No edging?!
cheese and spice, no, no point, on a job that I would return to and maintain, or knew it was going to be maintained I would.
That's the weakest trimmer on record. Throw that disposable POS in the trash and get a Maruyama. BTW, hardly any thatch buildup LOL.
lovely that
Couldnt watch to the end due to most annoying music ever. Fair play for taking that job on though, wouldn't go near it.
never heard of yakety sax? benny hill music. very appropriate
@@TKG very irratating after 18minute.. i couldn't even finish the video
Don't like the music? Mute the sound. Very simple. You're welcome. :)
Can’t see it to it. You are so zoomed in
one of my early vids
Y he not mowing the grass
I did at the end mulching and mowing would be dangerous because of debris in the grass.
No mower at all??!!!
Somebody didn't watch the video! LOL 😂
at the end I used a mower, the strimmer is used because of debris in the grass would kill my mower.
Too bad the dumb music...
yakety sax, Benny hill its quite appropriate
sorry but i couldn't even watch the video because of the music..
Got a volume control button? Easy fix.
benny hill....classic
Easier to buy 3 goats lol
lol

No Bouncing & Revving ...... Oh...wrong channel... you are doing it properly
What's with the bouncing and revving thing that the council do ?
nope
3 or 4 passes on mulch or side discharge and would of ground all that up with no need to bag or pickup, would of also kept the nutrients in the yard. What most pros do here.
its different, a rid on would be way too big, side discharging would have blown grass in neighbours garden, mulching and mowing would be dangerous because of debris in the grass.
I saw somewhere..backward mowing - is the way ….. ?
Yep thats he expensive butcher service way.
if u was based in birmingham i was going to ask if u got any jobs going
thanx for watching, I have had a few jobs in castle brom, but they have to be a full day
Is it extensive Gardens that uses his mower for everything
yup
You have to invest on a lawn tractor to make your job faster and easier.
3 years on, and still no need for one
But I really don’t understand why people and customers leave the grass grow soooooo long
tell me about it, never went back, but my rule of thumb is to double the price if I have to go back.
actually not double the price, I would work out how many cuts were missed add a bit on then that's how much I would charge.
Nice one....
thanx
good job
