This yard clean up was an absolute MIRACLE Transformation!

So, after driving around for 2 hours looking for a yard to clean up for free, I'd lucked out. After knocking on 3 doors, one wasn't home (been there about 4 time so far) and the other 2 said no to a free cleanup. Who says no to a free yard cleanup 🤷‍♂️. Anyway, I was driving around and I saw this property. I've already done a massive transformation here about a year ago, so I decided to knock on their door and see what was going on. The homeowners were away at a funeral and their daughter told me that the mower they bought after the last clean-up was broken, so they couldn't mow. I said, right, ok then, I'd better do your yard again! She said “excellent”, so we began. I later found out that the mower wasn't broken, it just didn't have any fuel or oil. Note: When you buy a new mower, you need to purchase fuel and oil separately. Sometimes they have a small oil bottle included, but always good to check 😉. After the rescue, I mentioned to the owner about a regular mowing service, and she was happy with the price (yes, I'm doing a few regular mows again). So this property will definitely be looked after moving forward. The quote included monthly mowing, weed spraying and rubbish removal. All up, I spent around 13 hours on this job, with 2 trips to the landfill.

FAQ's:

Q: Where are you located?
A: I am from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 🦘.

Q: Do you worry about snakes?
A: I have never even seen a snake in over 5 years on the job.

Q: Which equipment do you use?
A: Mostly STIHL power equipment (battery and petrol) and commercial Honda self-propelled mowers.

Q: How much do the jobs cost?
A: Sorry, I prefer not to talk about costs.

Q: What happened to Nick?
A: Nick was offered a full-time position at his other job as a Political admin.

Q: What happened to Brent?
A: Brent quit at the start of August 2022.

Q: Why don't you use tarps instead of bins?
A: Tarps are too difficult to move through small spaces and lift into the trailer. The same for wheelbarrows, they are only good for unloading the trailer!

Q: Why are the hot water cylinders outside?
A: I would say it's because Australia had a temperate to tropical climate, and therefore it doesn't matter that much if they are outdoors. To me, though, it seems a bit inefficient to have them outside in Tasmania with a temperate climate (coldish for 3 - 4 months per year). But that is industry standard down here 🤷‍♂️

Q: Why are you cutting so close to your employee?
A: I'm not cutting too close to my workers, they are standing too close to where I am working! All of my workers have been told numerous times about standing too close to the tools and about the hazards involved!

Q: Why do your workers do all the lifting and carrying?
A: Basically, they are employed to carry things and I pay them well, to do the job required.

Q: You work so well together, how do you do it?
A: That's the magic of editing. My workers are basically given instructions on what to do, I just edit it all out, so the videos look seamless!

Q: Why don't you have help?
A: I've had many problems with employees in the past, so now I work alone.

Q: Why don't you have a ride-on mower?
A: Well, there are a few reasons.

1. I don't have the right trailer for a ride on, considering I always take away the green waste.
2. I don't have anywhere to store it, as my shed is too small.
3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can't actually get a ride-on on to the properties.
4. I don't do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k AUD on a stander, but it would be nice to have one!
5. I will get one as soon as my transport and storage problems are solved.

Q: What happened to your workers?
A: Because the work is so hard and I expect high standards, most have quit over time. The only exception so far is Nick.

Q: What types of ladders do you use?
A: The large one is a Gorilla Adjustable Platform 150kg and the small one is a Gorilla Mighty 19. They are both adjustable.

Q: Who/what is Jim's Mowing?
A: Jim's Mowing is a franchise business. The Jim's Group is the biggest home services franchise in Austra

    My younger brother used to push the old lawn mower to elderly neighbours to help mow their lawns. Guess those days are sadly gone. Even the scouts, bob a job.

    Сразу поняла, что уже видела уборку этого двора, только с зеленой травой. Почитав описание, поняла, что не ошиблась. Джордж как всегда на высоте. Быстро, четко, красиво! Нравится, что даются названия растений. И поздравляю с новой камерой и насадкой на триммер!
  • Great job. I remember this one from last year. I’d hire you if I lived in your country. I cannot imagine anyone refusing a free mow and clean-up. You do great work.
