@Wayne Tetreault Most edgers will have pre set settings, if the lawn has never been edged before I would recommend for ease just get it to ground level. And then work your way down as do it again and again. The reason I say this is if you try to go to deep on a new lawn you're likely going to end up without a straight cut. I found the best depth to be about 3 to 4 cm or about 1 - 1.5 inches.
I think I'm turning into my dad. I'm sitting here watching someone do lawn work and finding myself excited about the edge work Edit: holy cow, 10k likes?!
Competition is very contagious. Even if people claim to not care, they care. If you start out performing them, especially people like your neighbors, 9 times out of 10 they’ll feel that competitive instinct kick in and whip into shape, Good on you man!
This year, ours was almost as bad as this yard. So I bought an edger and got the typical "you don't need that" from the wife... When i was done using it she was like "i didn't know our sidewalk was that wide"

That actually happened to me, some guy came to my house and started working on my front yard. I was in the backyard and didnt notice it, when i went to the house i hear something and found that guy working hard and it was actually a good job, so i didnt stop him. When he fished and saw me he find out i was the wrong person, buy it was ok, i paid him.
Can we just admire the fact that this guy took this long to explain everything in the description and make everything clear. Also added time stamps of everything you did!
Looking it like that it may be worth it. I doubt advertisers for lawn care products are paying that much in ad cents but maybe 1k for 2 million views. Still worth it. If he was not uploading this though doing that for 30 dollars is operating at a loss. After taking his time + cost and wear and tare on his tools he made nothing on that deal. Where I live that would have cost me easily 150 to do. I get rural florida he can't charge that much but assuming he wasn't uploading this I would say the minimum he should charge for what he did was 60 bucks.
The mow and regular trim would be 40$ but since it was overgrown that would be 15$. Then 20$ for the shrubs. So 75$ would be good then the next mow the trim would be easy so it would be 30$ or 40$.
I am a groundskeeper for a school district and I highly approve of your work. I am glad to see someone else enjoy working outside and keeping areas beautiful. Keep up the awesome work.

You're not far off. I have been doing this long enough I realize what the formula is. So when I see a yard like this, I will underbid many times just to get it and make a video. All covered in the description, I think 🙂
I would never call that an overgrown yard. The grass was quite short and tidy, just the edging and hedges needed a good trim. There a quite a few properties in my area (Qld Australia) that you can barely see the house behind several metres of bush.
Don’t let that HOA continue to lowball you, ask a resident how much their HOA fees a month are and multiply it by every house in the complex, they have enough to pay you. Unless it’s a super small community 😪
Personally when edging something that overgrown I would cut at a slight angle back so next time it rains it doesn't wash the soil right back on the sidewalk. I used to cut stuff like this all the time.
This reminds me when my dad and I used to work abandoned yards for extra money for the family. Good memories, but man I hated weed eating. I really miss my dad.

One reason is because my point of contact has been nothing but amazing to work with, so as a favor to him individually. More selfishly, so they like me more rather than less when it comes time to renew the contract.
@@htownandi6263 10 fold? Wishful thinking that is often more wrong than right. More often you end up being taken advantage of. I'm typically not in to silly cliche's, but more often than not "no good deed goes unpunished" applies to these situations. You do one favor, they start to expect favors all the time.
If you let the clippings build up over the hard packed dirt eventually it will break down into good dirt and the grass will grow. That’s what contractors do, lay hay down and it helps the grass grow a lot after they graded dirt.
GoGo Biodiversity is cool as long as it isn’t all invasive crap. It may not be “weeds” or crap, it’s just not boring monobiological turf grass. Like my yard has a whole bunch of different types of grasses and littles plants growing in it. Also, i’d suggest looking up turning your yard into a meadow which is pretty cool even though I don’t do it specifically.
All I can imagine when you use the ride on mower is you going: "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE". I'm right aren't I? That's why you put music over that part.
I just finished scrubbing my 3rd floor patio. No access to a hose so it was like 10 trips in and out to fill two 2 gallon watering cans and 6 gallon jugs. Definitely counted as my workout for the last 3 days lol. But MAN it came out great.
I don't think I've seen anything more satisfying. Like I kind of try to take care of my lawn, but it rains and the grass grows back so quick that its sometimes pointless.
I bought an edger and started doing this for people in my neighborhood for a very small fee. One yard in particular was so bad it put even this one to shame. It was a corner lot too so it had a ton of sidewalk. Took me hours to do and I didn't charge much. But I don't have to drive by and look at the hideous, but I never been edged before, but I corner lot any more lol
I love the smell of fresh cut grass, I dont know if it just me!! Man oh man you must be sweating bullets in that heat! There lucky to have you with a good price! I try to show my support as much as I can when I'm not busy working, keep up the great/cheap work lol 👍
I dont know your business model, bro but this job should have been at LEAST $75. RAISE your prices! You'll get more trucks and men. First time mows for $30, you'll be mowing by yourself until you die
Brad: question I get is how do I find these yards? Me a native Floridian man: simple they come to him, its two-hundred degrees during the day. Paying someone to mow the lawn is a worthy investment during this time of year. :-)
You know what. I really like that he lifted that sidewalk trim up to really show us how packed and muddy it was. Because in the back of my mind.... I’m thinking “ is it really that bad or is he exaggerating’ and that shit made me subscribe immediately 💀😂😂😂 that was very thick, if anything he sugarcoated it lol
@Todd Hill ...dear Lord, I can't imagine what Florida was like in July! It was horrible in Maryland THE. WHOLE. MONTH. ...and it continues into August! I don't know how he does it! 😰
When you just keep continuously mulching the grass breaks down into new dirt. That’s why lawns sometimes look like the ground level is rising above sidewalks and driveways.
I've seen a lot of lawns and public spaces where the dirt sorta "grows out" with the grass onto the sidewalk/curb. I'm guessing it has a lot to do with improper grading or settling over time, combined with water flow. This is common in S. California, and I've seen it in Washington too. Maybe it's a west coast thing? Because we over-irrigate? I dunno, but awesome video!
You are probably right. The GO Pro hides it a bit but I think the curb was much lower (well, I mean inches but that is enough for gravity to work over time, right?)
I lived there for almost twenty years. And while I miss it, I don’t miss St Augustine grass at all. I’ll take Ky Bluegrass anyway. Great job BTW. It looks wonderful!
Here is why I mowed this lawn for $30: ruclips.net/video/FNaTJ61032U/видео.html

@@justinjones459 thanks Justin but we all knew that already, we want to know the real deal not the bullshit
@@jem4208 prolly just asks the homeowner
Why would you do a “good will” gesture for an HOA? Ask the residents and see how many good things the HOA has done for them...
One reason is because my point of contact has been nothing but amazing to work with, so as a favor to him individually. More selfishly, so they like me more rather than less when it comes time to renew the contract.
Just because the HOA are jerks doesn't mean Brad has to be. Besides, what he does will come back to him 10 fold. 💚
Can't disagree but the humanitarian took charge and it looks great 😊😊😊😊
@@htownandi6263 10 fold? Wishful thinking that is often more wrong than right. More often you end up being taken advantage of. I'm typically not in to silly cliche's, but more often than not "no good deed goes unpunished" applies to these situations. You do one favor, they start to expect favors all the time.
@@MotoAtheist well I try to be an optimist but I totally feel your reply. I've definitely been a victim of "give them an inch and they take a mile."
must be nice having a lawn that isnt 50% patchy grass, dust gets everywhere when i mow
GoGo Kill it and reseed it with grass of your choice
If you let the clippings build up over the hard packed dirt eventually it will break down into good dirt and the grass will grow. That’s what contractors do, lay hay down and it helps the grass grow a lot after they graded dirt.
GoGo Biodiversity is cool as long as it isn’t all invasive crap. It may not be “weeds” or crap, it’s just not boring monobiological turf grass. Like my yard has a whole bunch of different types of grasses and littles plants growing in it. Also, i’d suggest looking up turning your yard into a meadow which is pretty cool even though I don’t do it specifically.
I normally wear a mask when mowing just for that reason!
Moss people moss. It looks great, you dont have to cut it, feels great on bare feet, survives anything and is good for diversity and local insects.
My new midnight obsession while I go through depression 😂

Aye right there with you partner
“all right I’m ready to die.”
can’t be more relatable.
All I can imagine when you use the ride on mower is you going:
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE". I'm right aren't I? That's why you put music over that part.
XD You've got it right!
“... the dirt has over grown...” 0:36 Man dirt grows. I guess you learn something new every day.
the time lapse of the lawn mower makes it looks like hes going really fast lmao
Me: *watch this video*
Mom: Son what are you watching?
Me: Uhh..., guy and grass?
ahh, I see you've fallen into the hololive rabbit hole as well

I didn't see a bong anywhere in this video.
I'd be so furious if someone mowed my lawn like that! LMAO I like the lines all being neat and going the same direction. I'm sooo picky about that! 🤣
The technique is called striping
Watching this is almost as satisfying as actually doing it
Probably more satisfying watching it in AC :D
I just finished scrubbing my 3rd floor patio. No access to a hose so it was like 10 trips in and out to fill two 2 gallon watering cans and 6 gallon jugs. Definitely counted as my workout for the last 3 days lol. But MAN it came out great.
So this is where my dad went, he went and started a RUclips channel and mows lawns on it
This kinda feels like when I’m tidying and flattening the dirt area around my minecraft base
This is so much more satisfying than the edging videos I usually watch.
Happy to hear that!
I don't think I've seen anything more satisfying. Like I kind of try to take care of my lawn, but it rains and the grass grows back so quick that its sometimes pointless.
My dad has a lawn care company and it’s so hard but pays really good. You do a good job can you do an equipment review
Very nice, thanks for watching!
That grass was on the move! Taking its own dirt with it!
LOL XD Too funny man, glad I wasn't drinking anything! :D
How do you live in a nice house like that and the lawn looks like that! I can only imagine what the inside would look like
Abandoned house, the inside was rough.
As a person who works with Jim’s mowing in Australia I give respect to this guy whipper snipping those edges is a effort and a half
I bought an edger and started doing this for people in my neighborhood for a very small fee.
One yard in particular was so bad it put even this one to shame. It was a corner lot too so it had a ton of sidewalk.
Took me hours to do and I didn't charge much. But I don't have to drive by and look at the hideous, but I never been edged before, but I corner lot any more lol
Haha, love the satisfaction!
This is what almost every house in my neighborhoods yard looks like except mine and my neighbor bc it do their yard lol
Haha, that must be rough!
I love the smell of fresh cut grass, I dont know if it just me!! Man oh man you must be sweating bullets in that heat! There lucky to have you with a good price! I try to show my support as much as I can when I'm not busy working, keep up the great/cheap work lol 👍
Thank you kindly! It was a hot one for sure!
Yup he is so good
I dont know your business model, bro but this job should have been at LEAST $75. RAISE your prices! You'll get more trucks and men. First time mows for $30, you'll be mowing by yourself until you die
I like to imagine that he didn’t time lapse the video and he is really just that fast
the music literally took my anxiety away lol
I just got this in my recommendeds somehow and ended up watching the whole thing...
Thank you for giving me a shot!
Same
Me too
Why do I really want to mow any lawn with that mower.... it looks fun 😂
It is a blast!
Im turning into my uncle. I love videos like this one and the one cleaning the side walk with high pressure water. Make me happy.
4:28 when u finally get ur first job at The Sims Bustin' Out
When the edges are so overgrown like that, its like you're cutting thru sod.
I agree!
Brad: question I get is how do I find these yards?
Me a native Floridian man: simple they come to him, its two-hundred degrees during the day. Paying someone to mow the lawn is a worthy investment during this time of year. :-)
XD Very true!
You know what. I really like that he lifted that sidewalk trim up to really show us how packed and muddy it was. Because in the back of my mind.... I’m thinking “ is it really that bad or is he exaggerating’ and that shit made me subscribe immediately 💀😂😂😂 that was very thick, if anything he sugarcoated it lol
"The dirt has over grown"
Always cracks me up when the neighbors just stop right in the middle because it’s not their property
Why not talk to eachother and one week one does it and next the other t
Just the front bits by the road really isnt that much extra work
And the dumbest comment for this video goes to....
@@H4ymaker... you.
I don't envy the thermonuclear work conditions this time of year, but the results are awesome despite the heat and humidity.
XD Too funny!
@Todd Hill ...dear Lord, I can't imagine what Florida was like in July! It was horrible in Maryland THE. WHOLE. MONTH. ...and it continues into August! I don't know how he does it! 😰
When you just keep continuously mulching the grass breaks down into new dirt. That’s why lawns sometimes look like the ground level is rising above sidewalks and driveways.
I've seen a lot of lawns and public spaces where the dirt sorta "grows out" with the grass onto the sidewalk/curb. I'm guessing it has a lot to do with improper grading or settling over time, combined with water flow. This is common in S. California, and I've seen it in Washington too. Maybe it's a west coast thing? Because we over-irrigate? I dunno, but awesome video!
You are probably right. The GO Pro hides it a bit but I think the curb was much lower (well, I mean inches but that is enough for gravity to work over time, right?)

This isn’t even an ad it’s just on my recommendation because of its millions of views
I used to cut lawns in 100 degree weather...a good looking lawn and yard after the fact one of the best feelings in the world💯💯
I bet the neighbors were glad to see that mess cleaned up.
I hope so!

I lived there for almost twenty years. And while I miss it, I don’t miss St Augustine grass at all. I’ll take Ky Bluegrass anyway. Great job BTW. It looks wonderful!
