That Crazy Grass Guy!
Добавлен 9 окт 2020
My name is Joey Williams, and I am “That Crazy Grass Guy!” This channel was formerly First String Lawn Care. In 2023, I got a divorce and had a hip replacement. I had to make the painful decision to sell off my business and return to the healthcare field. It’s now 2024 and I’ve got a new vision. Instead of throwing in the towel, I’m going to grow the business back, with a different ideology this time around! Follow along as I do whatever it takes to get back what I lost! You’ll see time lapse customer lawn care/mowing jobs, overgrown property cleanups, hedge and shrub trimming, mulch installations, pine straw installations, rock flowerbed border installations, and anything else lawn care related! If it involves cutting, mowing, or trimming something I’m going to film it! This isn’t a “How To” channel, rather a “How I Do It” channel. Heck, you may even see what I do behind the scenes in normal day to day life! Come along for the ride with “That Crazy Grass Guy!”. Let’s go git it!!
FIRST MOW Of The 2025 LAWN CARE Season
In the episode I break out the new Honda HRN 216. Our properties down south have mainly Bermuda grass which needs cut down as low as possible before the growing season starts.

Lawn MAKEOVER! My Own OVERGROWN Lawn!
I’ve never seen power tools at a Walmart !!!!!
I probably would have used the Honda supplied oil at first, run it for about 1/2 an hour, then changed the oil with your preference. You'd be surprised at how many metal shavings you'll see.
Oh well, live and learn. Hopefully it will be fine!
The older Briggs 190cc are better then the 163cc
I have the 190 on my other mower
Buy a honda. Cuts down to 3/4"
Mine says 1”, but you can probably go past the setting. Good point!
@ThatCrazyGrassGuy the more expensive Honda does.
Making it look easy 🔥✂️
One step at a time!
I remember when my dad bought a new lawnmower back in 77 that mower lasted 25 years. They sure don't build them like that anymore.
Lord no!!! Ain’t no way a mower is lasting that long today!
I have a craftsman briggs and stratton that i purchase from sears yes sears lol back in 2015 or 16 ive maintain it very well simple sparkplug and fliter change along with fuel stabilizer after 2 pulls she's running i might be getting another just as a backup if i can find a 190cc or equivalent im a kobalt guy myself might get a one of them but i love Gas and unfortunately i live in California i might have to go outta state to get a Good lawnmower 😮😂
Brand new & the carb hunts on startup - that will only get worse, till all it does is hunt. The Honda Achilles heel nobody mentions.
Well I got lucky it didn’t do it the last time I started it up.
Get that money 💪🏽🤘🏽
I’m trying!
Where are the Honda's and where are the Kohler Engines ! Look at the dust on the Honda mower! hum! I like the Toro ,but don't care for the Briggs engines! I would go with thew 599.00 machine !
I went with the Honda!
Such a smart move man, you can’t go wrong with that unit as you know! I still run three and never had a single issue with my three Honda Mowers in 10+ years.
I used it the other day!!! Best homeowners model I’ve ever had. Hands down.
Very nice cut. I use a similar method but I use the blower before and after the lawn mower process.
I’ll blow everything first when I’m cleaning out the beds but everything looked good today!!! Thanks for the comment and the view!
I push mow with ego electric and my whole set up is electric. Benefits of pushing is charging more because most customers can't justify paying $80-$100 for someone to ride quickly over it for 15-20min if they yard is small or medium size. But spending 90 minutes on a property for 80-100 is justifable
All the yards I mow will be $50 until leaf season then I gotta charge more. How’s the electric hold up?
❤
Man this video brings back memories. A time when life made sense.
@ don’t give up brother God is good he will make your life sense again
Looks good!
It did really well.
Man that came out looking awesome! Really dig the music you use in your videos. This one was very relaxing to watch. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
Thank you!!! I appreciate every single person that watches. I’m just out here having fun.
💪🏽💪🏽🤘🏽💪🏽
Thanks brother
Joey where did you get those shirts from
❤
i started with this mower and then got teh honda with the nexite deck gcv200. they were great and still work.. just bought a wright 36" stand on about 6 months ago and it is a game changer. getting yards done in a fraction of the time..$$
I’m sure you are knocking them out now!! I love those little stand ons!
Good video sir you remind me of me and my son when we were just starting the lawn business I like toro and Honda they both good mowers … I wouldn’t risk it either with the dewalt mower
This is my comeback brother. I had the truck, trailer, and mowers all before. Lost it all in divorce.
@@ThatCrazyGrassGuy oh man sorry to hear that sir.... you will make it happen again....
@RomeroLawnServicevloggs Just a hobby this time around brother.
@@ThatCrazyGrassGuy awesome
You should spray it green now
There’s actually a service for that now!
good to see your doing good.....$240 appears to be pretty fair. electric leaf blower? if you lived close by i would give you my handheld stihl blower.
Check out my other videos! A great company gifted me a BR600!!! Thanks for watching!!!
I was wondering if I was too high on the bid.
Dam, all you need are a pair of roller blades and you can glide across the lawns. Happy to see the Honda is working out well for you. Great vid thx for sharing 👍👍👍
I know right!!! If I could keep them this short all year I’d be golden!
Hope you have a good year.
You too ole buddy! We gotta get you to 1k subs this year!
@@ThatCrazyGrassGuy That would be nice.
@jeffslawnandlandscapingllc5481 Well it’s one step out of the way. Then you gotta just keep going because of the watch hours. I’ve not made a dime so far but my whole outlook on everything has changed. I just want to mow grass and make videos. I’m going to turn it into my hobby, not my 💯 living. Less stress.
@ThatCrazyGrassGuy You're right, that's the best way to look at it.
Got the new mower out today guys! Let me tell you, I was not expecting how awesome this thing was!!!!
toro time torfmaster
Had the Turfmaster. Spent too much time in the shop.
I’m gonna get myself a husqvarna z248 zero turn cause I cut in cottage country but I’m waiting so I can have the bumper to bumper warranty for longer and for when i actually need it
What’s “cottage country?” I’ve never heard of that before. 😆
I haven't seen any more hondas around here.
I think these were the last two they had
We safe and help ppl💪🏽
That’s a good attitude to have!
Like the editing and great points. YB has been a great tool for me 4yrs using.
I use the free version now. When I had the business going I had the paid version. I really liked it.
I dont mow till may. Just was put doing 3-4" of snow
Yeah sounds like you’re in the thick of winter up there!
Meanwhile I’m down here in shorts and t shirt today.
Very satisfying to watch bro, thanks gor this!
Also good work!!
Thanks brother I appreciate the views!!
It's also nice that you're using yard book. As you grow bigger, I would recommend using Jobber. But yes as long as we have some sort of CRM. Because numbers don't lie!
I’m not gonna grow too big brother. 25-30 is gonna be my max this go round. Hopefully that will keep me busy enough.
I believe as long as we are charging correctly based on what we need to make & to be profitable than quality is just the only thing that matters. You'll be surprised how many landscapers focus strickly on quantity & yet there's always that one landscaper with only 30 lawns making the same or even more money the guy who just cares about getting more & more clients
Couldn’t have said it better. As long as you do good work and show up, you’ll keep work.
Let's Go 2025!!
Not much longer!
It won’t be long now guys! The 2025 Spring Rush is coming! What are you doing to get ready? Leave a comment below.
Sir I learned my lesson from Brian still products I'm always going with RedMax or Husqvarna
I said I let my lesson from buying still products I'm always going with RedMax what Husqvarna.
We’ll see. This blower was gifted so I’m not going to complain about it!!
Nice setup brother. That was exactly how I started myself when I decided to stop working for a landscaping company and venture on my own. Fast forward 20yrs later, i have 3 trucks with a 2 man crew going. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the encouragement! I really appreciate you watching brother.
i would've sold you my 4x8 for $380
Not sure my little lawn care car could handle it
Just came across your videos, I'm getting ready for this season too. I wasn't really taking mowing serious last year. This year i'm hoping to get a lot of more clients
Thanks for watching brother I really appreciate it. It don’t take long to get customers once a few start rolling in
Congrats man! I’d definitely keep the cargo carrier as a backup, or if like others have mentioned you get a truck later on.
Thanks!! Yeah I’m def keeping it for now. I really appreciate the view!
Im not sure how your video was on my feed but as a full time guy with over 15+ experience... Man return it and buy a used toro pro line other than the commercial hondas because those are what you see as far as the 21" commercial mowers outlast everything and I MEAN EVERYTHING including walk behinds, big riding mowers... Those toro prolines are very expensive 🫰 used even but they are still worth it. Those aluminum decks are great for mulching, the only problem with those legendary mowers is that their tires and gears wear out fast and you have to gamble on the engine and transmission how the previous owners had them but if you find a well taken care of, they will last you a long time.. love them to death thats why you see so many on truccks and crews also being stolen. I have the commercial honda and although it is heavy, it is a tank and i never seen anything bag like it, thick grass is never an issue. Side discharge or mulch, may not be pretty but it will get through it with ease.. all i use is honda oil and it is still pulling and starting in the first and second pull tops..
I appreciate the response! If you happen to watch more than just this video you will see what I have for a setup and why I’m not using a commercial or big mower. If that Honda makes it through two seasons and tears up I’ll just buy something else. It will have paid for itself. Maybe in the future I’ll go for a different setup. Thank you!
Hope u get better soon ❤.
Just so you know. It was always her fault more than you. I see who she is now and I feel sorry you had to deal with her all these years. The reason I can do anything is because of you. I watched your hard work year after year. Now hard work is all I got to give this world. Now I get it. I have no problem giving credit where credit is due. We may not speak but I do have respect for you when it comes to the work ethic you gave me.
Its Recommended to use conventional oil for the break in period then switch to synthetic after.
You’re the second person to tell me that. I’ll change it!
GXV160 are the best engines
I’m sure it is since it’s a commercial Honda. I’m glad you mentioned it. I never knew these mowers existed! I see they put them on a line of Toros?
For$ 50.00 more you could have bought a HRax217 with blade stop
I had the 217 before. It was ok. I would have probably bought another if they had it.
On line
Sorry for the bad sentence in the green box!! Check out my main channel! That’s what it was supposed to say!
I like to have small to medium size yards. I feel like being a solo operator it would be easier on me with them yards.
Yeah i agree. Maybe we’re just old Jeff? 😆
Jeff are you still on Facebook?
Help me add to the list!! What are some other top considerations before starting your lawn care business?
