Good morning, you should not worry about producing videos. You are a lawn care specialist, that's what pays the bills. I think based on the weather forecast just about everybody is going to have a hot dry summer. China and much of southeast Asia, is experiencing over 100-degree days and terrible drought. Here in the northeast USA we have had days in the 90's and the driest may in 50 years. I expect most of the agriculture sector to struggle. So, you get your money while you can. We will be fine. Good luck with your summer.

Ho Rob , we bought our Honda precisely because it mulches - we are ‘born again mulchers ‘ been mulching this year at many of the lawns we maintain for several weeks now (usually where the grass is reasonably short /managed but we had an lovely surprise today - lawn needed taming and we strimmed first , then mowed (highest setting) then moved down 1 setting at a time to last to 3rd setting - we were very happy .. & so was our new customer 😊. Have a great weekend , TT mayhem reigns here for another week yet …

Great comment, which Weibang do you have and does it leave a nice finish? Thanks for watching and your comment.

@davidmorgan4497 Год назад
​@@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices Hi Rob, It's a Weibang Virtue 46. Relatively inexpensive at £499. It was bought as a back up mower with no intention of using a great deal. But, as I said it is ridiculously fast it actually does wheelies and I'm not joking. Finish is good and funnily enough one of my more discerning (annoying) customers text me when he got home after I had cut his lawn to thank me saying " that's how I would like the lawn in the future" I wasn't sure whether to be pleased or annoyed because normally I cut his lawn with a very expensive rear roller and collect the grass cuttings. Not anymore I won't !! 😂

Hi Rob, so I finally started to use my rear roller two weeks ago, but after watching your video, I'm going to retire it to the shed for a while due to all the dry weather we are having and bring back out my good all round mower that mulches and your right it saves time and its quicker and helps the lawns, most of my customers would never of heard about a mulching mower so I don't tell them 😀 but I always leave the bag on so not to raise any suspicion 😜 keep mulching Rob and keep the bag on 🤫

I'm down in cornwall and the grass is already looking like straw in a lot of the gardens as it hasn't rained since april. I've been mulching pretty much exclusively since I got the first cuts out of the way and you can notice the difference between those that have been mulched and those where they either cut it themselves or demand that it's bagged. I think it's going to be another hard year again this year, it seems to be getting worse with every passing year, the winters are dry and cold or absolutely flooding down and the summers are getting hotter and drier. We've also had a pretty much consistent hose pipe ban all year round for the last 3 years because Southwest Water are a complete joke and won't fix their infrastructure. To say it's hard going down here as a gardener would be putting it lightly.

Yes. I’m already worried about the lack of rain down on the Sarf coast. It’s seems that we’ve gone from permanently wet to bone dry with nothing in the middle. I’m already cutting higher and will probably be spacing out the frequency of cuts in the not too distant future. On a different subject I’ve picked up a couple of new build mows this year and the standard of these lawns are beyond garbage.
@doomedbook1020

Its the soil underneath the turf unfortunately. Built to a budget and I'm guessing the soil is simply backfill from excavating out the foundations.

I find new build properties gardens to be very poor. They need regular weed and feed. Mulching helps too. Good luck.

@pablo9364
@pablo9364 Год назад
Reel as in cylinder? Take catch bag off, Nicely sharpened, great idea! Would mulch shorter grass well. In a business environment don’t think it’s practical . Most customers would prefer to pay less/ie less frequent visits - you would have to visit more regular to keep cutting the tips off the grass The mulching mowers can have double rotating blades, choice of how much to collect and how much to mulch. And customer probably won’t know your doing it I might get one eventually…

One thing I've not got. A dedicated mulching mower. I can put a mulching blade on my weibang. But it's a pain in the arse swapping it back over. So do I invest in a dedicated mulcher? No. I've got to many mowers as is. So I'll just crack on with what I have. But next year I think I'll offer wetting agent treatments to hopefully keep the customers lawns, greener for longer. But I do think drier, hotter weather as a result of global warming is here to stay unfortunately.

I've no info I can give you on the mulching blade unfortunately. I know you can get one for it. But I've not got one. Although you do get a mulch plug with it so I suppose you could use the normal blade and give mulching a go with that. I know Weibang also do dedicated mulching mowers. But again, I can't give any opinion on them. Sorry
@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices
Hello Gary. Isn’t it time to sell a few mowers that maybe don’t get used that much and invest in a mulching mower. I do double cut with them and spend a few minutes blowing the grass for a good finish. It’s takes a few minutes more sometimes but your not emptying the bag so there is a balance. I definitely notice the difference as to how the healthy a mulched lawn looks. All the best.

@@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices Hi Rob. I currently have my 21" weibang. Primarily now only used for cutting thick, long, overgrown stuff. My 18" Masport roller. I've gone strpe mad this year! My 18" Honda Izy. Standard! And Mt Stihl 21" roller mower. Which gets used the least and only on my very big lawns. But I wouldn't want to off load it tbh. So really there isn't one I'd want to do without. Although I do totally 100% agree mulching has its place and it's what I should be doing in this heat. It's not so much about the cost of another machine. Although that is a consideration. It's storage for me. I honestly don't know if I have the space for one.

Rob, do you offer weed and feed (or just feed) treatments for your customers? If so, how much do you charge and how often do you do it? I'm thinking of offering this as an optional extra or even giving some of my worse lawns a free go over, to try and prepare in case we have another bad draught down south this year.
@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices
I do offer weed and feed treatments. I apply three times per year, spring , summer and autumn. I also offer a weed spraying service. The price depends on the job. I do have a minimum charge of £20 , that increases with the size of the lawn. One thing I will say is that fertiliser and herbicide and pesticides have gone through the roof prise wise. Not a great deal of money in it. I hope that helps. 👍🏻

If you're a pro gardener like yourself you'll understand. You'd be doing yourself out of work by scalping the lawns when there's no rain in forecast.
