What Happened To BLS

Just a brief video to talk about what happened back in May that knocked me out of the game. While I'm trying to make a comeback, I'll be keeping the client list to a minimum, and the service to just lawn mowing.

BLS got a late start to the day because of some early morning rain showers. No matter, I still got the work done! Also, I got a new customer with a corner lot and the end results are pretty good.

Just another day at the office. I started out with high hopes of doing some recording at every lawn but ended up forgetting the phone in the truck. Maybe another day!

BLS finished up the month of July on a high note, knocking out a lot of lawns just before the start of the weekend. Got a new client that needed service before moving out, and also took care of several small, local yards before going to relax by the pool Friday evening. Last but not least: I can't recommend enough the donuts from QuikTrip (QT)! They were so good!

Working For Lawn Love Experience | Part 1
I believe you should of just stole the client's ask what lawn love charge and charge them 5 less
How many hours did you get on it. I've used degreaser and sprayed and scraped, just used a hose, no pressure washer... I've only used it for half a acre around the house for the past 7 years.
This looks exactly like mine from 2010. I've been trying to clean it up so the shop can pick it up to do hydraulics.
I've currently work for both and they absolutely suck
Sorry to hear. If you gotta do it for a bit to get yourself established, totally understand. But get your own customer base ASAP so that you're actually making money. Good luck!
I worked for lawn love in LA. the jobs are like you said" horrible lawns". the pay is $20 dollar on large lawns that have no grass at all but a bunch of leafs and weeds, so when I re quote, they accept to the hours, but later accused me of abused of lawn growth when there was not growth, but the app has a choice of extra time too, rather than overgrowth, but to the stingy client, it appears as overgrowth. They complained and I got deleted from their app. I had to do it to make extra money. The problem I see is that lawn love is like by CHEAP SKATES who see as a way to get practically free work for their neglected yard by choice.
wow bro to be you first commercial property for you that's a little to much but you take the risk Man, that's the way how a learn to price and value my work in the next project,
Thanks for watching! And yes, I definitely learned a lot from this job. I still have it and takes just a couple hours to do it now, so at least I'm reaping the benefit of my own hard work from that day.
How big of a lawn do you have.
This is great I need to post my story about my journey with lawn starters!!!
Thanks for watching, and let me know when it's up so I can learn what you went through.
How you like it so far is that pay Decent also I just started using lawn starter haven’t got any jobs yet :(
Oh wow well I stopped working for them an they’ve been tryna sabotage my person buisness then I went to lawn love and they are something else to. I got a email in the beginning of this year an they are combining their companies together and that can’t be a good thing
First! Good video!
Thank you for watching.
Just found your channel, keep up the good work
Thank you.
Jump in with both feet man!!
Yes sir, I'm working at it.
Glad you recovered and are back!!
Thank you!
Hell yea bro keep pushing Theres nothing like running ur own buisness
Thanks man.
Good to see you back up and running bro 💯✂️💯
Appreciate it!
LawnStarters gets me shitty lawn mowing jobs but because of LawnStarters I’m getting clean ups and tree work which is making me so much money off the app!
Good deal, man, glad it's working out for you! Keep up the hustle!
I do amazon and lawnstarter killing it making 2k a week with both
Congrats! Let us know here a bit more about Amazon, and how it works. I've not done it and am a little curious.
Bro all this time ive been moving trampoline s 😂😂😂😂 never again
Thanks for watching! Yes sir, you gotta be real careful with those trampolines. If one breaks on you, the owner may want you to replace it. And even if they don't, they may be upset and fire you instead, so you're out a lawn.
Bro i just drop them at the end of the day its your equitment
Bro im currently with lawn starter but to make 900 u gotta bust your ass this lawns are out of control and at that the client wants it perfect for 24 bucks what the hell
Lawn "love" is full of thieves!
They're both horrible, but lawn love is much, MUCH worse, and it will take me at least a full hour or 2 of typing to explain why
You can always draft it on Notepad, then copy & paste it here. This vid seems to have brought out great responses from guys working for the big on-demand lawn service companies. Always great to see the feedback from others.
How long does it take to receive a payment for both ?
1 week for lawnstarter and 3 (business) days for lawn love
@@Zachpoteet380 thanks
I like lawnstarter.... Makes u work harder to try to beat your last paycheck.
@@stylelm2488 motivation
There rates are HORRIBLE and they charge you a fee for everything. I had a lawn they were paying a stinking $30 but was right in the middle of the area I was trying to develop, mowed every week on time for THREE MONTHS. Then one day it was rainy, but not bad enough I wanted to cancel. Got like 2/3 of the way through the day before it rained too hard and couldn't make it. Well I couldn't reschedule on the app because they charge a "same day" reschedule fee. so I tried calling and after waiting 10-15 minutes each time asked for a call back all three times. Never got a call back and then got charged a no show fee. Then they cancelled the job, put it up for some one else to take and refused to refund it so I said to heck with it. Then next week I double checked, it was NOT on my schedule checked twice the day before. Well no one ELSE had picked it up so they charged me a late fee AGAIN. They literally make their money off of charging their contractors off of their all ready horribly low pay. Strongly recommend you avoid them. And this was far from the first time. I literally have records to show that 2-3 times a month at least they charged me late fees for no reason and then just refunded them before the billing week even ended just proving their system it set up to constantly auto charge fees. Then they wonder why they can't get their customers serviced.
I agree, and that's why I stopped working for them. Hope things are going better for you these days.
The main issue I have LL Is I live in 2 states depending on what's going on. You can not search for jobs in other areas only what you signed up for. The pay is Horrendous should be the number one reason not to use them.
I got charged a $15 fee for a no-show the other day. My deal was it was a job I could not do since the customer said one thing and the job was something else. So they rescheduled the job with a pending requote. Luckily got it all straightened out and they reversed the charge and put the shitty job back on my board. I am only sticking with them for now because I did not want to build my business this year. I had a guy out of CA that used to broker lawns for me using REO Properties. I made great money with him but he gave up the business due to insurance being expensive. I did that in the Harrisburg PA area.
I do some jobs or Lawn Love also. I would guess they pay $30 for that property. I told them before the pay is marginal and there really is no room for profit.
I was paid $44 for this property when I started it, then it was reduced to $31. Very strange, but that's LL for you. You're correct that there is no room for profit when doing jobs for LL; after accounting for travel, wear and tear on the equipment, plus your time, you end up in the red once it's all done.
That is why I stop working with them you always end up paying out of pocket either it be with gas your time or wear and tare. They are ridicules than they will side with customer so yea they are trash
@@jnice1630 I had an incident where a customer complained so they could get it done for free. Had a decent route with LL then they canceled most and left 2 crap properties on my board. Basically did that lawn for free and was deactivated but they since have me active again since they merged with Lawnstarter. I did a lawn for them recently that was close that paid $48 so went a bit compared to last time.
Smoking is not normal
I agree, and vaping isn't much better.
Lawn love sucks balls,I would steal their customers and charge them more,and change my phone number, they wanna be cutthroat, I would return the favor
Hey, what service do you recommend? Seen a lot of bad reviews on Lawn Love. I don't care about the price, I just really need these weeds pulled and my grass cut. I need premium service.
I've read a lot of negative reviews about this company. Would you recommend them? I need weeds pulled and lawn mowed.
I would not recommend, they pay the workers $20,but charge u $40-50 bucks it's a ripoff
They're horrible, and I mean "you might as well pay a 6th grader the same price" horrible
@@Zachpoteet380 yup they are. Charged me $180 then tried to up the price last minute. I told them fuck no then they agreed. As if they tried to scam me or something and failed. Then the people who cut my grass did a half assed job and left without telling me anything. I got a full refund from that shit company. Found a local lawn worker that only charged me $50 for the full yard front and back and did 100x a better job. Now I basically got him here full time lol. Only reason I agreed to lawn love’s insane scam was because I needed it cut ASAP for a house inspection. Never again.
Nice mower
Thanks! 👍
My buddy Trey owns a Gravely dealership and is giving away a Gravely mower. Your should enter in ruclips.net/video/DxbCP7uUW9o/видео.html
Sorry but I am disliking this review new out of the box isn't a proper test review. This mower is absolutely garbage mine has no oil drain to change the oil. Second cut into second season the valves stuck open. Another issue this mower is suppose to be approved for ethanol gas but 3 to 4 tanks and the carb starts acting up and authorized shops won't honor warranty if ethonol gas was used. So only use non ethanol gas to avoid carb issues. Troy built should be made to recall all these mowers.
Where do you live sir
I just received a call from someone at lawn love which I never heard of and they asked me if I could finish up a yard a previous lawn love user did. Basically the customer wasn’t happy with the type of work they did. So lawn love found me on Yelp and asked me if I could help them finish the job. So I went ahead and drove to the location which is 20 minutes from where I live and gave the representative of LV my estimate which was $575 for a complete backyard clean up and hauling. The LV person told me that it was kind of high because the previous lawn person quoted then $100. I Was like no way I would do that job fit $100 there is a lot of leaves to rake. I Was told not to take the trash and just bag it so I lowered the price to $495 which they agreed to pay. By the looks of it they get people jobs but they pay is low. I will stick to quoting my self where I can charge anywhere from $285 to $725 for a yard clean up.
Good info here. Enjoyed all 3 videos.
Thank you for watching!
I’m with lawn love you ain’t lying bro the pay sucks balls I’m going on 30 mins drive for 25 dollars and the lawn do suck.
Do you plan to stay with them? I hope you are able to get a pool of your own clients. I wouldn't mind using Lawn Love to plug some rare gaps in the route schedule, just so I'm always staying busy, but lately people don't seem to be using LL.
Buckhorn Lawn Service how do you cancel with them
@@bigwaxthabarber6961 Sorry for the late reply, I don't know how I missed this. I think you can just contact them and ask to be removed from their system, but I just simply turned off app notifications and haven't picked up any jobs for them.
Tell them you want out otherwise lawnlove will charge you for missed lawn cuts . An it will add up an be taken from your last check. Hope that helps
@@chrisnestel5495 You've earned a shout out in my next video where I'll be talking about exactly that: Lawn Love claiming missed jobs and penalizing the contractor, even though it's not true. Stay tuned!
Looks like Baltimore

thanks for sharing my friend, you have no idea how much I love the Gas from QT for my mowers, but now I have to try the donuts

Thanks for watching, and subbing!
IS there anyway to prevent or repair the adjusters? I've had the same issues with other mowers.
I don't see any way that it can be prevented or repaired, unfortunately. I also glanced through a catalog of replacement parts for the mower and didn't find anything related to the adjusters. This is why I ended up getting rid of the mower last season (2019) and purchased the Honda HRX217.
@@buckhornlawnservice4982 thank you for responding. Gollee I live in Waco not too far, appreciate your video. I don't know why they made them that way, it its what it is. Thanks again
@@buckhornlawnservice4982 I tried to drill a hole and secure at least the top and never succeeded. Have a good one.
I read in the manual to change after 25 hours I believe? You said 10? I've got only 4.8 hours on mine.
Hi! Yes, the manual does call for the initial oil change to be done after 25 hours. However, at the time of purchase, my dealer recommended it be done at the 10 hour mark. I'm used to doing initial oil changes after 10 hours anyway because of 21" lawn mowers of the past, so it was no problem. Definitely go with what works best for you; I don't think there will be any harm.
@@buckhornlawnservice4982 Cool thanks for the input
Oil change is a must, good stuff!
I'm guessing you have to have all of your own lawn equipment?
Yes, that's correct.
I bought the model with the 196 cc motor. It ran about 10 minutes before the rear drive stopped working. The front drive barely functioned at all. Troy Bilt was no help at all. There is no support; no chat or teck support. No service and repair manual is available. You have to take it to the service center for the smallest thing. Ok, I thought, at least it's covered by warrenty. No it's not. I was informed that because the drive failure was caused by a belt falling off, I had to pay for the repair. The lawn is becoming a hayfield as I wait for the diagnosis on the front wheel drive. The cost of the mower plus the cost of repair is well above the cost of the best mower out there. Save yourself the grief. Don't buy a troy bilt.
i have a b and s 175cc i couldnt find the drive parts so i just put the motor on a push motor i can do my yard fast and the motor never bogs down
Great review, thanks. Yours has the Honda engine, right? My local hardware store has a Troy Bilt 196cc engine in the TB490 and I can't find reviews of it. Have you heard anything about the MTD/Troy Bilt 196cc engines?
Yes sir, the Honda engine is in this particular unit. I'm not familiar with the TB 196cc engines.
