How did you guys do this week? Anyone working this weekend to finish up? I have to go lay 2 bags of black mulch to finish up that mulch job and one little landscape bed lol.
@@Pantelifts10 Not lying, no joke. One Wheel barrow one pitch fork 3 people. It was one pretty big bed that plants were fairly spread out in. We busted it.
@@Pantelifts10 last year just my wife and I did 8 yards in 2 hours. We have a system down to where one person is shoveling and hauling the mulch (basically running to keep up) and the other person is spreading and leveling the mulch. It also helps to dump the mulch from the wheel barrow in such a way that it is half spread after you dump it. I’m telling you it is possible to do 12 yards in 2 1/2 with 3 people. All I did was run back and forth with the wheel barrow ( and I mean running) while my wife spread the mulch. My son spent his time smoothing it out and making it look good. She can spread a wheel barrow of mulch in about 45 seconds. We go super fast.
Hey, I just had my best month ever aswell! Over 22k work sold and done by myself, 7 days a week and working till 7:30ish. Had my first run in with thieves aswell... Nothing stolen but damaged our new trailer. And a little PSA, pass some of your fortune to your supplier! (I just did a small gift card and some pizza like you mentioned in a podcast). I treat them good and they have Mr at the top of there list everyday for that reason!
I’m just an old guy that does his own residential work, but I prefer a pitch fork over a scoop shovel for moving mulch. Just picked up a few yards this morning.
We’ve been doing french drains, little tree work, grading, and bunch of mulch. Plus 100 mowing accounts a week mixed in some commercial, hoa. Booked out through mid august already! Business is good!
Well…. Looks like many of us prospered this spring. We installed 80 scoops dyed brown hardwood mulch last week, designed and installed a $16,500 landscaping project and yes… squeezed in MOWING THAT TALL GRASS as well. Did over $36,000 in gross for MAY 💪💪💪
Hey Brian, you really need to swap out those old stall shovels for ensilage forks! They’re a game changer for handling mulch. They’re big pitch forks with a short handle, about 30 inches wide. Try one out!
Brian holy crap a owner an a business man that actually does work an doesn’t just yell orders an sit in the truck nicely done guys that black mulch looks amazing when it’s done right good work guys.
The mulch job looked wonderful. Great job guys!! Also, loving the new shirts. They look good on y’all,& very professional. Stay safe,& blessed fellas.💯❤️👍🏾😀🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
I just finished all mulch jobs yesterday for now I had 200 yds on the books. It took me several weeks of 10 to 12 hrs a day to complete it plus squeezing in mowing. I had just a little bit of help here and there with the mulch but ran mostly solo this year I'm glad it's all done I was starting to have nightmares about mulch hahaha. One more refresh job of 20 cyds in late July/August for student move in. I agree woth the other comment that I read there's good money in mulch. Ot was worth the blood sweat and tear$ .. I enjoy your videos. And I want to thank you for the brians10 discount code I just ordered the equipment defender trimmer rack can't wait to install it. I plan on hitting up Ballard's soon for some stuff. Any recommendations on a good x blade combo to run for mulching and cutting grass daily?
What kind of trailer / dump thing is on the back of your truck and what type truck / what is the payload? Over here by Detroit looking to upgrade from an f150
Brian, you could be charging way more!!!! I’m at 200$/yard delivered and installed up to 5 yards. 180$/yrd 6-? I think your buddy Keith is at 160$? Our mulch is 50$ a yard though. I about cringed when you said 770$. What is your man hour rate for removing old mulch?? Crushed in May also😃😃. Thanks for sharing. Keep em coming 🌳🌳🌳
Hey bryan lawn maintenance my day is going good i got 25 lawn for my own lawn care business how is your day been how u like your new truck u definitely my favorite RUclipsr for a while now keep up the amazing work on your channel keep growing and keep making money
Hey Bryan. Do you prefer getting mulch by the bucket loads or bags? I used to do trailer loads but I mostly only do bags now because they are easier to clean up after and easier to get around the yards where I need them especially since I usually do a lot of the work alone.
How are you liking the multi force? I'm going to be getting the ball rolling on my business here in the next month or so hopefully. I definitely wont be starting with this machine but I hope to get one next year.
Great video, love the quick cuts. I am at $135/yard installed. Only thing that really sucks this year is delivery fee jumped to $108 when last year it was right around $60 #letsgobrandon. Anything over 3 yards, I need to have delivered. I just sent a 7.5 yard mulch estimate so I hope I get it cos mulch is damn good money! I invoiced over $14k in May. Best May ever! Had quite a lot of money in doing some branch removal from a snowstorm we got that broke a ton of tree limbs, so that was nice. June should be great month too. I have a sod install to do, some bed maintenance jobs and bush trimming on top of my mowing. I have signed up so many new customers this spring after losing some to my rate adjustment. Ended up with higher paying customers than the ones that left so I am excited for this year!
@@jasonsmith-lf6jj I don't do that as I do not install from bare earth/dirt. All the mulch installs I have done are just an inch or two fresh top layer. If I were to do something like that, it would be my hourly rate which is $155 plus supplies.
Hey Brian love the vids I’ve been watching for a while learning a lot while I start and grow my own company! How far is the mulch place from you do you have to drive far to get it?
Loving the 3k a week profits from lawns we're doing but myself and my worker are already getting burnt out. Weather it be dealing with brain dead customers, to over grown over watered and fertilized lawns. Thinking about dropping my shity account and taking a day of mowing off and do landscaping. For me it's getting to the point I'm ready to hire someone to mow and mulch my own yard due to my lack of wanting to do it after all week of mowing. Unfortunately this season I don't have the lawn "care" part in my head and can't shake the lawn "we don't care" mindset I'm having. Shouldn't have to have the deck almost all the way up and have to mow a yard 3 times because it's so long and have customers complain of ruts and clippings. Can only make it look as good as the conditions I'm given and the customers just don't understand. Water water water, fertilizer fertilizer fertilizer.... cut my lawn as short as you can.... I'm not paying double cut charges...why is my lawn so long. You can explain shit to customers until you are blue in the face and they still ask and complain about the same stupid shit week in and week out. Have already lost 4 problem accounts due to incompetence of the client, they found someone else who charges more, does a terrible job they all called back to have us work for them again... guess what the price just went up $10 if you want back on our list and $15 if you come out each week. Done with brain dead piss ons that are clueless.
First I just wanted to say thank you for your podcast I am on episode 34 it gives me something to think about while I am cutting grass 2 questions I have one if I listen to the podcast on Spotify how can I leave a review I am not Tech savvy but do not see anywhere on the app to do so to do you ever cover on how to set up everything for employee like workman's comp unemployment or if you can get a round some of those things because of being seasonal or if you just 1099 somebody can you still pay for their insurance can you get special Insurance the umbrella yourself let them drive truck I know this is a lot thank you for your time and have a wonderful blessed weekend
QUESTION FOR THE COMMUNITY: I am hearing folks say they charge $120 per yard of mulch delivered and installed or another price per yard of mulch picked up, delivered, and installed... I am not sure how this logic works, help me understand? A simple trip to the mulch yard and to the property can take an hour which for us would be $80 per man... so if there was a two man crew on this project, the price to get to the mulch yard and back would be $160... Our 1 yard mulch jobs usually run from $350-$450 upwards to $600. We have hedges to trim and weeds to pull, edges to cut in, etc... pre emergents and post emergents to apply, and just not sure what people mean when they say $120 or $140 per yard of mulch installed... anybody care to clarify this? Thanks so much everyone.
For us that simply means the cost of the mulch plus markup, and the cost of labor plus markup. This job didn’t take any bed prep. No edging, no weeding, no roundup of spraying or anything like that. Very straight forward job. If you need to do anything else like you mentioned, naturally you’ll want to cover your time and even delivery costs. Everyone is different, and every job is different. Hope that helps!

How much are you paying you’re employees?
I yuh
Grass growing like crazy in Ohio rain every other day. Been rough but we are trucking along. Nice video. Go Bucks!
@@mikequeen1347 same!
My wife and oldest son helped me install 12 yards this morning. Took us 2 1/2 hours. Mulch is good money.

Awesome job man. Hopefully it was profitable as well. High grossing months do not necessarily equal the most profitable months. Way to go man!!
Nice!! Sucks to hear about the trailer tho. Glad they didn't get anything.
Rob is such a good employee, you’re lucky to have him!

10x10 tarp under back of trailer works good for easy clean up You guys are killing it. STAY STRONG!

We have 2 of those as well!! But absolutely man good looking out.

Man I’ve never understood bosses like that!!
@@BriansLawnMaintenance everyone should learn from you an your team!!! Hell yes
Saw the Nuna car seat, we have one to and love it. Great stroller attachments as well. I hope the family is well and you guys are getting some sleep.
Solid job. Never done a mulch job with a gas powered Wheel Barrel kudos there. Thanks for the numbers on a setup like that. Quality stuff.
Nice man! I have a 9 yard black mulch job coming up Monday along with trimming of some 20 foot hedges etc. big money I’m excited
Looks very nice Brian. Fresh mulch is the best!
Can’t stop the hustle brother keep rolling on

Great job Brian!
You don't mess with my Jimmy John's. We cut for them, they gave us 2 free subs each for lunch. Sometimes more if extra during morning rush

Wow that's a lot of mulch. Keep up the great workm

What is ur install price for fabric if customer asks for it?

hi brian, i was wondering what the earliest time is that you guys start mowing in residential neighborhoods.
What type of attachment is that?
Love the vids man.. what do you do when they have dogs and there is dog💩 on the grass they want cut? Cheers👍
Dog waste fees :)
Hey Brian love the vids I’ve been watching for a while learning a lot while I start and grow my own company! How far is the mulch place from you do you have to drive far to get it?

Super busy in my area but glad to be busy. Love the content. First comment lol
Amen!
So u change the 110 per yard installed and then u charge a hourly charge on top of that?
We were at $125 and that included labor. Today it's a little north of that.
Pretty neat attachment since you bring the mower anyway. Is that hydraulic or inertia when you tip it?
Hydraulic, but the ram can extend an extra little bit once gravity takes its course.

@@BriansLawnMaintenance You da man. That makes sense. Thanks Brian. Looking forward to the new KUJO yard pants as well.
I want to get into mulching..right now I just mow trim and blow off. What mulch do u recommend like which color or type
What the client wants
Was the $1,100 all from the 12 mowing jobs or does that include the mulch installs too?
Both yep
U guys ever pack your lunch😂
I live in a higher class area and can make $1100 by myself in one day with a 6 yard job and nothing else. With no employees to pay.
Awesome!
I went from charging $100 a yard -$125 a yard I may raise it again I haven’t had any problems with price from my costumers it’s all good
Yeah we're at $110 a yard installed for residential. $125/yd for commercial.
What do u charge for fabric install if customer requests
@jasonsmith-lf6jj we do not install weed fabric.
@@BriansLawnMaintenance I’m late to respond to this, but you just open my mind. I thought I had a charge less for commercial for some reason.
$110 is awesome. I went up to $95 from $85 last year. Too many signs advertising 4 yards for $275. Makes me smh
Yeah I wouldn't do it for any less than $110. The folks installing for $60-$75 a yard won't last.
Good video…..capitalism baby…👍
