- Hey there I am Kevin with K&R Lawn Care a Tulsa Lawn Care company and In this video I speak about my fall setup and the new billy goat leaf vacuum. I also talk about leaf clean up pricing. In this video we only used our leaf blowers but we often times do leaf clean ups with lawn mower. Cleaning up leaves in fall is very important if you want to maintain a beautiful lawn. This was a start to finish leaf clean up for one of my clients.
I hope that you enjoy this super satisfying leaf clean up.

HELP JAYMEE PAY BILLS DURING CHEMO
I would like to thank you for supporting the channel and a lot of people said that they would like to help me with monetary compensation but I would ask that instead of helping me if you could donate to help Jamyee who has stage 4 cancer and must receive chemo for the rest of her life with only a 15% chance of survival. If you are unable to give through financial support it would mean the world if you could just copy and past the link to your favorite social media platform by doing this together we can help her to take care of her children, continue to pay her bills and ensure that she is able to make wonderful memories with her together that are void of finical stress.
"money is just a tool to help others and life spent helping others is a life well lived. "
Thank you so much for your love, kindness and support.
Hey boss What you get for a front yard like this? Leaf clean up.
i'm surprised that you don't have a comecial Allet as you're mainly cutting Bermuda grass some of them even come with a trailing seat as default
Would that type of grass grow in phx
These Facebook pricks are setting me up fo more jail
Go with Sthil br600 blowers and ditch the echos.
This video single-handedly made me fall in love with leaf clean ups. Heavy rains in forecast for tomorrow so I blew the leaves off the all the sidewalks in a two block radius for free since lots of elderly people walk around here. Feel more than helpful in this profession. Thanks for the advice and the inspiration.
My approach is towards the mowing season. Mowing 5 Houses on one street 40 times a year is worth doing some leaf jobs that are just a little profitable. Being able to keep homes and add homes to a confined area makes it worth it to give customers leaf job prices they are happy with. When you have 30 streets with 4-5 or more houses next to each other... doing some affordable leaf jobs is well worth it. If I was trying to pull a good profit with leaf jobs a few times a year, I wouldn't have had the same concentration of houses that I enjoyed throughout the mowing season.
As a street sweeper driver I very much appreciate the job you all do. It saves me hours of work. Unfortunately, a lot of residents blow or rake piles into the streets, which is illegal where I live and costs the city (and taxpayers) MILLIONS per year to clean up.
I remember growing up and our house had about eight trees on our property. Once I was old enough it turned out to be my responsibility to wake up all of the leaves and then back to garbage bags for a recycling truck. Back in the late '70s and '80s yard equipment wasn't as cheap as it is now. This is long before Home Depot and Lowe's. It wasn't that we could not afford to buy a leaf blower it was just a fact that my father could not see spending money when he has a son still living at home. The only way I ever had a leaf blower was when my father would leave for work and I'd get the hair dryer and a long extension cord and make my own blower. -)
When I did my leaf cleanup the wind was gusting nicely and in the direction I wanted to blow the leaves. Blower got the leaves up and the wind blasted them. I felt like Aeolus, It was awesome. Moved a ton of leaves in what felt like an instant.
Heck yes!! That’s awesome!!!
this is the problem with leaf blowers. they attract idiots who feel powerful or cool with a backpack on and wand for them to point. i will never understand this. grow up. gas leaf blowers are horrible for the environment and a tremendous noise pollution problem. Think of others instead of playing silly games. mow them leaves, it's nutritious for the lawn.
Knock on the neighbors doors, i hated cleaning the yard. When i 💩 my Saturday is was because getting someone reliable was the issue. Glad you love it. Makes life a little bit easier for us who growl at it..
How i would price it.
2 men 1 hour
Figure a cost for using equipment, it doesn't last forever,and isn't maintenance free.
Maybe $5 per blower.
The haul away. Probably have to price according to the dumping fee. Thinking double the cost to dump covers hauling it also.
I bid on job....I make way more money that way whether the leaves are wet or not. In my experience, over 20 years, I got more rejections with an hourly wage. But its funny how I make more money now vs. hourly.
Also, I like leaves on my lawn....besides that it kills the grass.
I LOVE FALL and LEAVES. The last 3 months of the year are my absolute favorite!
God bless you!
Pretty much how I do my own lawn. My neighbor still hand rakes. This year I mowed everything into a large pile and sucked it up with my leaf vac. One hour of work and I was onto my third beer when my neighbor finished three hours later. Watched him unload his new leaf vac from his truck today.
Beautiful job as always. I love the educational part of your videos. There are a lot of single men and women who don't know how to do lawn work or even how to use a machine. You take the embarrassment out of having to ask the silly questions and took on teaching..
I’ve got an acre to clean up because my very large fruitless mulberry, elm and sycamore trees all decided to drop em last week on thanksgiving, and it’s going to rain cats and dogs starting tomorrow! Blower and a snow shovel for me today!
You're right, hourly makes the most sense. We always quote by the job and make loads of money one day and then get hosed the next. Only good this is we crush our hourly rate on all the small quick clean ups.
Never thought i would be sitting here watching you clean up leaves, that was so much fun to watch, never knew they had a big hose to get all those leaves up, learn something new every day lol
When the wind is in your face, all you can do is look up and laugh & crack on with the job. I love autumn /fall!
Whenever we get one of these jobs we just rent a leaf vacuum which also grinds all that stuff up. It's way faster and less commotion. These guys do a really good job thou. 👏
Good job and with two guys/two blowers it is a quick job. I've blown leaves off my lawn, and nothing drives me crazier than when the wind works against you. I have used some pretty bad language, (under my breath), when the wind starts undoing my work. LOL
What a difference the proper equipment makes
What the trees give in the form of falling leaves is THE BEST fertilizer and mulch one could possibly want.
My neighbors seeded/watered/mowed/raked/fertilized/seeded/mowed/watered, etc., etc., etc, in their quest
to have THE greenest lawn all year and I just enjoyed my yard full of blooms 360 days of the year.
You mean wild weeds right ? Or it mulched your flowers? Thanks
Fallen deciduous trees are not good fertilizer--the opposite. Dried leaves essentially are carbon. The tree has already taken the nitrogen out of them which causes them to turn and dry up. They transport the nitrogen mainly into their root systems for the winter. In the spring the sap begins to flow carrying stored nutrients from the roots back up into the tree, So, it requires nitrogen (fertilizer) to decompose the leaves whether on lawn or in compost pile. In other words, rotting mulched leaves will rob the turf of nitrogen. (The worst thing you can do is to till leaves into the garden.) It's okay to leave mulched leaves on the lawn but expect you might best need to fertilize the lawn. The very best is to remove and compost them which requires you to add some green (nitrogen bearing) material with the leaves--about 10%. Then you would eventually aerate the lawn and spread your compost after.
YAAAY A Juggernaut video just when i was getting bored!
It’s tough to direct leaves into one direction without them going all over the places, especially on a breezy day. Talent.
Agreed. I bought a RYOBI electric blower a few years ago at Home Depot. I’m terrible with it, though, so it’s been back to rakes for me…
I love watching this. I don’t have a truck vacuum, but 2 blowing in a V pattern even if only to the pavement creates the most easy raking process.
Or, blow into rows and piles and mulch mow.
I've been using my mower and bagger to do leaf cleanups this year. Got the gator blades so it shreds them like a beast. Just don't have a leaf box built yet. On another note, the harbor freight truck unloader still has me in shock every time I use it. Keep up the great work!
Gator blades are awesome! I use them all year long. I got one of those unloaders but haven't installed it yet. I need to get that done
After testing all types of blades I just can't use anything else. The unloader could use some improvements. Like the old leaf vac you had I'm going to DIY the unloader a bit.
My neighbor spent the entire day sucking, blowing, raking the leaves in his acre yard. Around 5 pm a storm blew in with 50 mph winds. Looked like a solid 2ft tall cloud of leaves heading strait for his house. Looked like it did before he started.
The combines finished the corn .. Shreded the stalk and leaves.. Then we had the 60 mph gusts days.. Its funny but not funny.. Corn leaves are drifted to the top of fences.. They stopped the tree leaves from going thru fences too. Worst I have ever seen. Like a blizzard.. It was super dry?until that storm.
Yeah, I just mulch mine to dust and the lawn looks great, but by the end of the day, everyone else's leaves blow into my yard making it look like I did nothing. *Les sigh*
I do a 3 pass process. I mulch at the highest setting. The 2nd pass 2 notches lower and the 3rd pass one notch lower with the bag. Take those clippings and spread out in the beds.
With it being a dry fall, ive been shredding the leaves up by cutting them up after a few passes, then use the bagger and suck them up and load them. Doing that gets me about 5 times more available space in my trailer.
I've hardly used my Accelerator. 4 hours on monster yard. Just mulched and mulched and...x blades have made the difference. Not the kind of quality grass that needed bagged. Sidenote: No fun x blades with Accelerator. $295
I love mulching when ever I can. Way better on some properties.
@@LawnCareJuggernaut last year was first year in business. Timid. Now I'm used to the mulch sound. That's when it's getting good.😉 Hate the PTO engagement though. Even throttling down. Thanks for the videos and tips. Was at $73.75/hr. today. Yes, at 50 it's...okay...but bumping price to 275 once I saw it was MUCH better. TALL tunnels of leaves.
Real man use a rake, I just rake them onto my neighbor's yard .
hahahaha I like your original comment better. I agree I judge my testosterone levels by my ability to use a rake turns out im the kind of girl that uses a MASSIVE BACKPACK BLOWER TO COMPENSATE for my tiny....EGO. people that make no money cleaning up leaves also use a rake and people that cant buy a $600 blower. this is new turf if you put a rake on it you will damage it so there is that too. thank you for watching brother but keep watching i want to know what other areas my lady balls area showing ;)
And jackasses rake them onto their neighbors yard
Lol you wouldn't want me for a neighbor if u done that to my yard
@@Karoljustiniano 👍
Lmao
I use a lawn mower to pick up leaves. Not only does it mulch the leaves, it picks it up as well. That way, when the lawn mower bag fills up, I just dump it in the garbage can
That fescue is comming along nice! You're going to really enjoy mowing it in the Spring.
His precious 😋! I love how excited he gets when he’s showing it in the video 😍
@@mrsjuggernaut6234 As an early Christmas gift get Mr. Juggernaut a "Debris Reducer" for the Billy Goat. I think he will like the way it shreads better with that.
@@cjzx325 I would impress him with a gift 🎁 like this. 😉
Rule of thumb, whichever direction you're blowing leaves or grass clippings, the wind will invariably blow in the polar opposite direction. As if on queue.
A truer statement has never been said. Blowing the grass off my driveway becomes a fight almost every time. Leaves are far far worst. We used to call it Murphy’s Law.
The minute the leaf blower gets turned on the wind will blow
Not sure how I came across the video, must be because I've watched videos on Billy Goat blowers. I'm not bidding jobs, I just take care of 3 yards weekly including my mom and dad's, totaling 2-2.5 acres with many large Oak trees. Takes me between 1.5 and 2.5 hours to get all 3 done with their 9 HP walk-behind Billy Goat.
tnx 4 sharing!!! iwas gonna buy a 1000 euro leaf suck machine. but we have a leaf blower here. u just saved me 1000 euro!!!
Watched some of your other videos and I think you’d benefit from placing a tarp ahead of some of the piles you and your guys are trying to push across yards. You simply blow the pile onto the tarp and one guy drops a blower and drags the tarp to the vac. Once you get the hang of it you can strategically place your tarps and avoid blowing trying to blow huge piles across yards. Run a small crew in PA and I definitely think it’d help ya
If you have a tall order day and you know you need capacity, don't hesitate to pull a mower of and back over them once gathered. Dust is about 1/10th the volume.
Me nodding and saying "mhm. Gotcha. Okay." Like you're giving me instructions on where to blow the leaves and im ready to start.
Fescue looks nice! I live in the transition zone & over-seeded my Bermuda with Nature’s Own -Triple Duty by Mountain View Seeds. Today is 4 weeks. Had some harsh conditions here in the heartland but it’s doing about as expected. Going to hit it with some 46-0-0 this weekend & watch it grow overnight. Can’t wait to see the finished product. I’d highly recommend Mountain View Seeds. Great company & even greater people.
I will have to check that out.
Kevin, always enjoy 😉 your remarkable work and sincere efforts to make yards look beautiful. When you mow & clean up yards, people can see that professional looking work. Heard Tulsa has had recent storms, so do be careful driving. If it is freezing or snowing, better to delay the job. Be safe.
Kevin, the impeller may determine how the suction machine shreds. The better the shredding, the more force and impact there is on the leaves & debris. If you change the impeller for a more aggressive degree of shredding, always consider stainless steel and heavier duty fins. Joy to see the end results of a cleaner yard.
Any idea where to find industrial shredders like this?
Awesome video. In Texas because of the weather and our oak trees, the oak trees we have actually shed their leafs in mid March so we cleanup leaves mid March not in November like most of the US
Hello Kevin, just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate and enjoy your channel. My wife and I are avid watchers and have learned some good tips keeping up our own yard. We appreciate your philosophy and work ethic.
Something about blasting leaves......it's therapeutic.
It really is! I love when kevin taught me how to work with him while blowing the leaves together and making huge piles move is very satisfying 🤩 he walks a little ahead and I walk at an angle to him and we make big movements!!
C'mon over, I've got plenty!
I’m a outdoor lighting designer / installer in Atlanta, GA. I pre qualify my customers over the phone, use Google maps to get my eyes on the property, use Adobe Illustrator to illustrate proposals, and Jobber to send quotes and receive payments. Very efficient system.
Friend, you are the Ron White of landscaping. That's a compliment buddy boy.
Since watching your videos I’ve really started to notice the complete coverage of leaves out my way. Although being out of city limits, county folks out here burn them.
Keep the videos coming. We’re watching them all
Stay on the trail A family that plays together stays together 😊
I had a couple lawn care companies out here to do pricing for leaf clean up. both companies were over $750 for the leaf cleanup. So, in the end I just did it myself.
@L M Lol I just mow over them and chop them up.
@@mustang35146 kills grass for most people, unless just a handful leaves
@@galehess6676 I mow over a ton and mulch it up and it’s never killed out grass unless you leave a huge pile of them on the yard.
To watch the brown leaves turn into green is worth it.
You forgot one major part of leaf clean up and it's extra money to be made, it is clean the gutters. You could've made an extra $100 just doing that house for probably 15 min of work.
Thanks to you we did about $2k in fall clean ups did our first season almost all by the hour!
Thats what's up! I bet you make 10 to 15k on leaf clean up next year😎🤘 keep up the hustle brother
Thanks Brother. Hopefully we’ll be able to invest in a Billy Goat middle of the road size debris loader in July or August.
After a long day.. time to watch a leaf vid and sip a tequila sunrise
Great job! Even with all that wind blowing, you guys left that lawn looking AWESOME!
Glad to see Paul got work after big brother
I also strangely enjoy autumn/fall. Unfortunately in the UK, it generally pisses down with rain all the time and everything is soaked. I don't have a setup like yours and have to bag it up. As for clearing the leafs, I couldn't be happier with my Husqvarna 580 bts. I know there are more powerful blowers on the market but it does everything I need!
I’m liking the trailer/truck set up
I owned a commercial land care company for many years. My main 3 customers were 2 gold course communities 1 paid 1,250,000 a year other paid 850,000 a year. The third property was a shopping mall which paid 825,000 a year. Only thing about these properties is you will need a 10man crew 5 days a week. But I would NEVER do residential homes never ever ever. The money is just not the same. BTW I started my empire with my tax refund that year of 8,000 and it grew to making millions per year. Commerical properties also never slow down summer or winter its full tilt and full pay. Had I not been diagnosed with terminal cancer I would still be doing this because I absolutely loved it.
WOW MEGA LEAF CLEANUP, GREAT JOB!!!!!! THUMBS UP FOR YOU!!!!!
Seeing the filter change at 0:18 reminds me of the eye doctor asking “1 or 2?”
I appreciate the information on how you price out your jobs. Thanks for your post!
I truly am inspired by this video because you guys are like myself by doing a job done right once and standing by your job. Super cool.
I agree by the hour is the way to go, you will get more jobs in the long run. A 200 dollar job vs a 30 dollar an hour job is a big difference
I agree with your leaf cleanup bidding. You can definitely lose money when leaves are thicker than you quoted for or leaves are wet from rain, it can be tricky. Great video
omg thank you... its so nice to see someone with blower skill... it was so annoying blowing with unskilled crew members 🙄
I hate leaf clearing especially when I’m on my own
Very satisfying video to watch. This is basically what I get to do tomorrow. Just getting myself psyched up!!
That sure beats raking and bagging
I like how that turf grass looks comparing to the other houses..
I did aerator to my house throw some synthetic grass , water it for almost 3 weeks without cutting it then I did NOS fertilizer and OMG my grass sooo clean and green comparing to houses around that are so dead and yellow ..
Good work bruh
The video is super clear!! And great video man. I’d like to see a review on that billy goat .. I agree the diy rigs are the way to go!!
Nice leaves clean up on her lawn good job booth of you
Vid is excellent. Your voice is baritone. Music is soothing. Countenance pleasant. Wish you well.
ya know you're hooked when you get a notification of a new video, and click on it while in the middle of watching another youtube video....
Great vid. I just put one up like this with the br800 - no leaf loader though - garbage can loading haha really enjoying the channel thanks for the content
Kevin, we bid at 75.00/ man hr. Usually 2 to 3 guys per job with a 150.00 minimum. We sre over here in nw arkansas just a couple hrs from you.
6:50 compare the impellers more than likely that’s the difference.
I’ve got 1/8 acre with good leaf drop; and getting estimate of $400 @ $50/hr.
8 hours to clean this up is insane.
We charge hourly for all the same reasons you do.
However we bag them for curb side pickup.
Cheers from Canada.
I usually mow my dropped leaves, and then leave (no pun intended) them over winter. Great free mulch.
As long as its not to many at one time its really not to bad but these oaks drop massive amounts of leaves at once. Its crazy!
@@LawnCareJuggernaut hey man where did you get your vacuum set up?
Thanks for telling us about using a rake. I never knew that. Love your channel.😀
Dope video! Even the music was nice!!
Working with the wind, lucky you!
You should have made a leaf pile that would be so big and fun to jump in
Almost 1,000 more subscribers in just under two days. Keep up the great work and the kick ass videos.
I just did one that bad don’t have a blower but I used ride on then we racked 😔 but after words looked so nice n owner was surprise felt good
I love mulching leaves when I can. Way better than hauling them off depending on the property.
Love your TH-cam name man make me laugh 😂
You two work so well together!
So that's how they do it. Wow. Just started into this area of business so my wife and I do this by rake, coal shovel, and bags----lots of bags! Then off to the landfill to dump the bags. Keep seeing set ups like yours coming into the "brush" area of the landfill, dump, pull forward, and they are gone. Considering buying a leaf vacuum now.
How do I price? We live in something of an "economically challenged" area so we price what we think is a good deal for both customer and us but yes, I underprice jobs. I believe though, after we get our name out there, we'll be able to go up a bit in price.
It looked beautiful before but I understand it needs to be cleaned. Cool you do more than one trade on the house with yard work and painting.
Love the song @1:23 just beautiful
Awesome work been following you for bout 3 months now I enjoy your videos keep up the good work
Hey thank you for all of the support brother
No problem man
I was kind of disappointed in the length of the video 😂😂 I want more!! LOL Great content. The stark contrast between the leaves and grass was SO cool!! Can't wait for the next one!!!!!!
Relaxing voice.
Dude love what he does !! key to own success
Get it Hustler …
Great job
Working smart!
Looks great in the end!
That looks amazing full of leafs
I charge per square feet of the entire service area which has been very profitable for me‼️ Great job too 👍🏾👍🏾
Thats really interesting I am would like to pick your brain a bit. Do you do an on sit visit and adjust the square ft price for the amount of leaf drop or moisture?
@@LawnCareJuggernaut I'll look up the property before I get there to gain the approximate sq ft and upon me visually inspecting the property I'll adjust price based on leaf volume, estimated time of labor and overall size of service area. I charge a little less for most larger properties but make up the difference thru other variables that pertain to that specific and it always balances out for me. This method works for me bc i can easy breakdown my cost of the complete job.. Rainfall is the only thing that can alter this but if its just to saturated I'll let the property dry out some 1st then come back. But I agitate the leaves before I leave to make sure for a more effective dry out so I'm not dealing with a super soggy mess underneath my piles‼️ If a customer wants to pay my tax for cleaning up their lawn full of wet leafs I have no choice but to say thank you, which many don't care bc their not doing it‼️
yeah male trees hit lawns hard i’m in lawncare myself and this year it’s a pain in the ass lol
Grass looks good! Nice job y'all 😎💪
Good video for leaf clean up👍✌
Thanks for this video and sharing how you price the clean ups.
I’m started my own lawn care business this July and I was way underpricing leaf cleanups.
OG’s showing the way 💪
So satisfying to watch 🍁🍂🍁
It's called the "Billy Goat Debris Shredder Reducer" Google it.
Brian’s lawn maintenance uses a bagging system on a 60” and it seems to shred it up well. He then drops them on the ground next to the truck vacuum. The system systems seems to work well.
