My back hurts just watching you using that strimmer!!
@@bobb6342 I know mate I need some cow horns and harness
Another great video from the Walker family, when's Dave gonna get involved ?
Thank you mate
You’ll never see David doing gardening think it would kill him lol
Hi Pete i've used rosate 36 weedkiller for years.
I pop a splash of washing up liquid in to help it stick to foilage better and never had a problem.
Hi James I’ll happily give that a try mate really top tip thank you 🙏
Great video. Nice to have Harvey and your dad is so funny 😆
Dads a real joker great to have around
Really nice to try and show Harvey a few basics I’d love a father son business
Thanks for watching Kelly 🙏
Feels like the Estes is handles are to close not allowing you to walk smoothly or maybe I’m wrong 😅
They are really small mowers and the handle bats do seem lower compared to say a Honda pro or hayter but what a mower all the same cuts through anything and lives wet grass
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 cutting it wet is great but if it is how it looks to walk behind that would annoy me 😅
@@zzeezz100 it’s alittle frustrating they do a bigger version aswell but that’s too big for some of my gardens
Handle bar extension for that stimmer .. you will be amazed the difference it will make
I’ve got a few combi attachments one thing I do want is cow horns I think that would make a huge difference
Love your show pete keep it up ,
Thank you so much we’re working hard as always
Thanks for the amazing support your a legend 🙌🏼
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 no problem
Your dads a legend wagon wheel always a must😂
Thanks mate love my dad
Weed killer doesn’t get washed off by the rain the next day if be able the day before. Weed killer takes about a hour to get into the plant. If you don’t have a PA1 or PA6B for spraying I wouldn’t be putting any chemicals down as you won’t be covered if something goes wrong. Sadly one of my customers decided to ignore my request of keeping her dog inside for a hour after I sprayed and now is very poorly. Luckily I do have a PA1 and PA6B and have spray record book which all been checked and I’m not to blame as I done everything by the book. Just be very careful as that could be a very different story if I didn’t have my spraying tickets
I won’t touch anything strong I only use round up it’s crap
I’ve got a chap I know who has all the tickets and I recommend him to all my clients who are willing to pay to have it down properly
I’ll never risk using anything without the ticket I’m not the silly
If I did and something happened I’d be screwed
Sometimes we can only but give advice it’s down to clients if they choose to accept it
You could hard prune the rhododendron clear all the bramble and self set trees then she has a view thorough and a rhododendron that’s eventually shaped to size? Only a thought. I’d love an etesia mower they’re so gooooood!!!!
Hi Karl once I make a start on it I may well do that and see how we get on I’d rather save it if possible
The etesia is a beast mate
Anybody got a small garden near you Pete 😊
Not many mate 😂
Would love a few smaller jobs 😂
Those Etesias are freaking insane. I mine arrived a couple of weeks ago. Its astounding ! Light, easy to manoeuvre and a great collector. Im very impressed ! Just waiting for the mulch kit to turn up now. Great work you three a delight to view.
Hi Clive it’s a great mower it’s been wonderful in all weather conditions
I used to run just a hayter 48 but decided I needed more options and I’ve seen a few people using them online so decided to see what all the hype was about and wow I’ve loved it
Thanks for watching means a lot mate have a wonderful rest of the week ☀️😎
Did you mention Horsham?l lived in East Hampshire.
Good to see three generations working together.
Don't sell yourself cheap,its hard to increase your price after and like l said before,"people with money keep it"
Yeah mate I’m Billinsghurst based but cover surrounding areas
The only cheap job I have is this grass cut I’ve asked him about doing ever two week cuts but he only wants once a month
All my others pay the going rates
I’m going to be making a few chat videos soon talking about the mistakes I’ve made in the past to try and help others not make the same as I did
I’ll also be covering other chats abit like Rob at maxwells but share my own personal experiences I find these videos beneficial to viewers
Keep yourself local,plenty of people want to keep their gardens tidy.
I worked for the East Hampshire council,as a gardener.
I got loads of jobs,after work.
Don't be wasting your time or fuel.
On these people who wanted pay.
@@jonathanglanville5265 sound advice wise words completely agree
No worries.❤
Your dad cracks me up 😂😂. All the garden beds looked so beautiful, amazing job by all 3 of you !!! So nice to see Harvey again. Have a good week Pete ✨✨✨✨
Hi Carol dads a joker nice to have around like big Al
Awesome seeing Harvey
Have a wonderful weekend
would a edger attachment be a good investment for you combi system , great proprieties there matey ,
Possibly I’ve seen them just never got round to buying one it must be the only attachment I don’t have lol
Thanks for watching it means a lot to us all 💪🏼
Have a great rest of the week
Great video lads it’s nice to see you’ve got help from your dad and nice to see your son helping out
My son was like that when he was 17 didn’t know what to do he’s now 26 and travelling the world
Cracking work them etesia mowers are great
Thanks Rob family are a real help and super reliable
Most kids don’t know what they want to do when they leave school I never thought I’d be a gardener but here we are 😂
Thanks for watching bro 🙌🏼
Great work chaps. It’s done nothing but rain ☔️ up here in North Yorkshire
We’ve had the same until this day last week and today
I’d love a few more dry days what with everything growing
Thanks for watching Andy have a great rest of the week buddy 😎🙌🏼
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 every time I turn up to a job it starts tipping down 🤣 ☔️. And you mate keep up the good work guys 💪 🌱
coudy cool overcast day ideal for weed killer but with this do laly weather
We’ve had lots of these days with random down pours
Mind you weather looks good according to my phone for the next 10 days
Etesia? Rear discharge?? Is it in USA? Looks great machine!!!
Hi Dan I’m sure you guys could get it in the USA
It’s a great machine really good in all weather conditions and eats tall grass that most push mowers wouldn’t cope with
We all have those jobs that we sell our self cheap but usually there is a reason😉
Hi Shane I’ve tried to get better at not selling myself cheap
It’s only really this one
Canny beat the the beast on long grass. Last week a rock got caught under my pro46 and cracked the side of the deck leaving a hole. Time for a new second hand one
Hi Robert hope you can pick one up at a good price 🙏
can i just throw my thoughts into rhe ring . lots of comments stating the £40 grass cut is to cheap. maybe it is but if the shit hit the fan & you got offered £40 per hour for 40 hours per week=£1600. £6400 per month would you refuse it 🤔 people can easily get carried away mate.
That’s a very good point and that grass cut takes 35 - 40 mins so it’s a £1 a min
Because he’s a friend I’ve always done it for him at this price it used to be every two weeks but is sadly only once a month
It’s made easier now by having the etesia as it will get through the grass even when long
Thanks for the comment it does put a spin on it when you look at it that way
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 i must admit mates rates are never a good arrangement. just hope you can pull your favours back in 👍
Who's I could make £6400 a month.
But there’s three of you. That’s 2 man hours for £40. Should be double at least but long as you’re satisfied. Not having a go just hate to see all our hard work going cheap. Best of luck
👍
Thanks for watching 😎👍🏻
I see 🤔. So my cheques in the post and you want Harvey and I again this Wednesday. 😂😂. See you Wednesday Son.👍🍺
Please dad see you Wednesday x
👍 great as always pete.
But £40 for that second one?! Id be £80 minimum for that😂
I know mate you know what’s like you try and do mates a cheap rate but it’s just not worth my time really and once a month cuts mean it’s always hell long we’re as most lawns I do are well maintained and easier to cut and pay more money
I think £70-£80 is more realistic for this one
free tea and buiscuts better than an expensive opint
She makes great tea and coffee top client
Glyphosate should be set in an hours drying . I always add a whole bottle of cheap dishwashing ( fairy or the like ) liquid to my 5 litre can of gallop as it supercharges it ))
We put some weed killer down and the next day had rain which wasn’t forecast so was less affective
The client questioned if we had put any down but dad was watching me spray it
So frustrating when you explain to clients that nothings instant and sometimes needs a few applications
Gallup Hi -Active never let me down rain fast in 3 hours. Great video the Etesia is serving you well
@@neilgreen9285 hi Neil this etesia is great I couldn’t be without it
Try Roundup Pro Vantage 480. Rainfast in 1 hour. Absolutely batters grass at 10 ml/L
Well I've never heard that trick before......can you elaborate as to why the washing up liquid supercharges the weed killing? Is it the salt in it or is it the fact that it clings to the leaf better?
£40 for that grass cut 😮 you're worth more mate 💯👍
I know as I said he’s the cheapest one I do because he’s a friend but once a month when it’s long is a pain in the ass and £40 should really be £60-£70
My biggest mistake is trying to help mates out but you can’t do it not any more the running costs are to high and we are here to make money
@THETATTOOGARDENER83 it's a big area to be battering your machines for £40 mate, but I get where you're coming from 👍 have a good week 🍻
@@Jake-sf3bj thanks Jake have a great week too hope it stays dry for us all 🙏☀️😎
Great banter in the van need more of that and less of that lawn for your so called mate and start choosing ya mates more wisely Pete
It’s amazing having my dad and son on Wednesdays
He’s my eldest from my first marriage and last few years haven’t been easy we’re finally starting to see more of each other which means everything to me 🙏
Thanks for watching buddy
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 enjoyed the video a know exactly where ya coming from in life believe it or not, get some more videos done with the travel time banter was nice to see and funny and reminded me of some good times in my life ya dad's got a great character as have you all
@@vincentsgardens870 my dad asked today if we could do some more of these so I’ll make a note of that mate
Thank you
Cannot Beat a John Deere
It’s a great mower one of the best I’ve used
Has anyone mentioned that £40 is too little ? 😂
Yeah mate everyone and I know it is too
He’s an old mate and I’ve stupidly agreed to do it at that price a year ago but back then it was every two weeks now it’s once a month which is crap to do and crap pay
£70-£80 is more realistic for the size but trying to explain that to people who don’t understand our running costs is very difficult
He’s the cheapest one I do and I really don’t enjoy it
If he wasn’t a mate I would have dropped it ages ago
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 sounds like they taking the Micheal abit if they've gone from fortnighly to monthly but if its an old friend understand why you do it.
I better watch Pete's Video, 💚
While my video uploads
I am all for making my life Easier!!👍
Nice to see a real family working together mate 🙏🏻
You guy's made a real difference at that. property
Thanks mate family working together is great
My dad big al and Harvey have been a real help
Like your good self it’s extremely busy at the moment
Keep up the great work mate 💪🏼 hope you smash 1k subs real soon mate you deserve it so much 😎
Please wear steel toe cap boots when mowing
Got some mate normally have them on but sometimes need to have a day off without them as they cause blisters when mowing all day
Thanks for watching Stephen have a good rest of the week 😃🙌🏼
@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 thicker socks
£40 your undercharging
On this job I am he’s an old mate it’s a £60-£70 job especially once a month
Your mate has no conscience, I’d be embarrassed paying my mate £40
@@neilward8545 I’ll be honest myself and few others who work with me have said it might be worth letting it go and replacing it with one that pays more in line with the rates
You just can’t be doing mates rates anymore it just doesn’t work
If you can’t afford a service then don’t have one and that’s not being nasty it’s being realistic if I did this with everyone I’d have no business
