Taking a garden back to a base standard // Forest Master // Clean up // 

Hi mate ! Thank you very much 😄 and thank you for commenting 🌱. I split the job down, walk the whole area and note down in sub headings what the client would like done: - drive cleared - Holly Trimmed - Astro De-Weeded - Buddleja reduced - Hedges Trimmed - Waste Taken Etc. Then underneath each heading I work out a rough time it will take and what I would price each individual job. ⬇️ Add them all up and that is my provisional quote (in this case I expected around 8 hours work) from there I ensure my quoting meets at least my daily rate of work or more and then I go from there. If I am ever unsure on timing I will add a 20% fudge factor to the time and price.

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance excellent mate thank you very much

Thank you for commenting Laura 😄. Definitely it would really add something extra back to the garden, unfortunately this was as much as the gentlemen required

Thank you for commenting Gail 😄. Absolutely ! It’s a great bit of kit that definitely has some very good uses, you can also take the brushes off and turn it into a scarifier, tiller etc 🌱

Thank you for commenting Brenda 😄🌱. This one really needed it, it’s always great seeing the end result 🌱

Thank you Shyan 😄 I really appreciate you taking the time to tune into the channel 🙌🏽

Totally agree there is a few things that would totally enhance the garden 😄

Hi. Connie! Thank you very much for subscribing and tuning into the video 😄 I’m glad you enjoyed 🌱😄

Thank you!

Thank you pal!😄. It did you know ! Very distinct smell, he had one out front that got done as well, the gardens just been left to do it’s own thing, he wants me in regularly which may be a nice one once I’ve got the basic tidying done 🙌🏽. Yeah definitely pleased with it pal, my video next week will be my review of it, been using it over the last week or so and it definitely cuts down on waste 🌱

Thank you very much Allan, it’s always nice when there is a blatant difference 😄. The offer is there if I can get it into my schedule, definitely got another 1-2 sessions though over winter to have it easy for next year 🌱💪🏽

Thank you ! 😄🌱

Thank you!🌱

Thank you very much Dora !😄🌱

Thank you so much Sharon! I did indeed, although I’m following up to do some tree & general pruning work next month he has stated he has a power washer so he will take care of it ! 😄. Would have been nice to have it done in the same video though 🙂🌱 I hope you have a great day! Sam

Hi David ! Thank you very much for commenting - fantastic tip there ! I’ll definitely take that going forward, I do have a return visit planned so I’ll ensure i change the routine of chipping as of that occasion 😀. Thank you very much for your kind words David 🌱

Thank you very much !😄

Thank you very much Barbara 😄

Thank you very much!😄 first time using it on areas like that, although it doesn’t take everything off the pathways it definitely helps 😄🌱

Thank you bev🌱

Thank you very much Evelyn 😄 it’s lovely now ! Will be even better when I tackle the trees in January, thank you for watching 🙂🌱

There is something quite hypnotic & relaxing I find seeing everything transform from messy to clean !😄 hope you are enjoying the videos & thank you for your comment 🌱

Thank you for tuning in William - really appreciate it !💪🏽😄

Thank you very much mate ! Nice to get it to a standard where it looks kept - now to build on it 😄

Thank you very much for commenting 😄🌱

Thank you very much 😄🌱

Thank you very much ! Always good getting a garden back in check!

Thank you was a pleasure getting your chipper on its first proper run out for the business 🌱😄

Thank you Chris 😄. Thanks for commenting 🌱

Thank you very much 😄. I really wish pressure washing was part of this job ! Would make a great difference 😩🌱

Thank you mate !😄

Thank you very much! That’s is very kind of you 🌱

Thank you !😄🌱

Thanks Scott ! Could do with a bit of landscaping to make the most out of the area but the customer was very happy so I can’t complain 😄🌱

Thank you! That is very kind of you 😄🌱

Thank you very much ! I’m glad 😂 he does a fantastic job - it’s great to see !🌱

Thank you 😄🌱

Hi Gill! Fantastic to hear from you🌱 this was just a one off job that may incur further maintenance, if it does I will definitely video a follow up in summer 😄

Hi Jeff ! Yes it’s a proper little pocket rocket 🤣. Well happy with it though - doing a whole review on it for next week🙌🏽

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance look forward to it 👍

Thank you 😄🌱

Thank you very much Idania 🌱😄

It’s a great machine that can use several different attachments 😄🌱

Thank you Mary-Ann 😄🌱, it’s great to see people tuning in from all over the world ! Thank you very much for taking the time to watch the video, I wish you all the best in 2022 😄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thank you very much 🌱

😂🐱🐦😘

Haha your right there Barry! My first dealing with astro to be fair and I’m just not a massive fan, although - it felt nice to kneel on when pulling the weeds 🤣. Customer was very happy - back in January/ February for the trees 💪🏽😄

First of all Rin, Welcome! Thank you very much for subscribing and taking the time to watch one of my videos 😄. I hope you are well and have a brilliant festive season 🎄.

Thank you very much 😄💪🏽. Yeah I’m very happy with it so far! The ability to move it around so easily with its light weight but for it to still eat the way it does is really impressive 🙌🏽

It really would transform the area ! Thank you for watching 😄🌱

Thank you Sonya, it was great to get this garden a step in the right direction 😄

Thank you very much ! Another coming very soon 😄🌱

I absolutely agree ! Thank you 😄🌱

Thank you very much !🌱

Hi Jean, thank you very much for subscribing !😄

Thank you!

Hi Diana, thank you very much for joining the channel and for your kind words 😄🌱

It’s a great way to tidy things up, not I have the chipper I’ll be doing it a lot more ! Could have done with a mulch mower in some areas 🤔. Good old dogwood ! Yes I believe it to be on the corner there, they could do with a harder cleaner cut come Jan-March time when I’m back to prune the fruit trees 💪🏽

Hi there Christa !😄. Thank you very much for your kind words, it was a joy to turn this garden around, chipper is also super useful! I’m glad you have enjoyed the video, thank you very much for commenting 😄

It really does. You could really have a nice shrubbery on that far side that got knocked down, fantastic size for sure - just needs some love ! I’m unsure whether that’s a rat or a bird 😂 - although your eagle eyed ! I’ve maybe had to watch this through 8/9 times when editing and never noticed it 😄

How did you see that?? I had to watch it 4 times to catch it 🤣. Great catch!! It was something with 4 legs and looked like a rat to me.

Thank you!😄🌱

It’s definitely been left too long ! It’s always great seeing the end product at the end of the day 💪🏽.. in this case after day 2 😂. Hope you enjoyed the vid 🙌🏽🌱

Hi Ray hope you are well! Yes they are all my own tools, I do hire other equipment when needed, but the chances are I’ll try to buy when possible 😄. Chipper really does a great job - very happy with it 🙌🏽. Thanks Ray, it’s always fantastic seeing the before and afters💪🏽😄

Hi Nick, thanks for commenting !🌱 the chipper is a forest master - my review here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9bkd3HJr_dQ.html I mainly use Husqvarna battery tools and Wolfgarten hand stools as they are combi 💪🏽. I drive a Ford Transit Custom I also have a van layout vid here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-30MbQKs_Tbg.html I have just upgraded to a new customer but it’s the same shape and size 💪🏽

You are definitely right there! I would accept the Italian sun any day of the week 😄. Hopefully get some great content during the summer 😄

Perennial rye grass/ fescue thrives here in the uk for sure, most go to astro for the sake of ease… Unless it is in a heavily shaded or clay soil area 🙂🌱 Thank you Maggie !

Thank you very much for accidentally tuning in 😄🌱. Originally in from northumberland, north England, working out of north Scotland now. Sadly I won’t be on this property but hopefully I will get some videos out of just that on some other properties 😄🌱

Hi rob ! It seems absolutely brilliant so far, really happy with it, my video next week is an overall review of the chipper so you may want to watch that one😄. You can also get the chipper attachment for the mulching version so may be a great option ! Very light too💪🏽

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance yeh thats what i was thinking with the attachments, the size and weight is what appeals to me the most, saves me lugging around my bigger chipper on those smaller jobs. I did hear there maybe a new/modified version coming next year but not sure how true that is 😂. Looking forward to the review mate 👍

@@RJLgardens oh really ?? Bugger ! Should have waited 🤣 but seriously at that price point I think it will hold a decent value even after a couple of seasons, and definitely decent that you have a bigger one just incase 💪🏽 nothing worse than being caught out with the wrong kit 🤦🏻‍♂️

?

Hi Ann, definitely, I do offer power washing but this was as far as the client wanted to go, really was just an initial tidy up 😄🌱

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance ..Well then you did a terrific job.

Hi Adrian! Thanks for tuning in😄. I bought it straight from Forest Master, they cost in the region of £500-£600 depending if you go for the manual start or the electric start 😄. I’m dropping a review next week - stay tuned 💪🏽🌱

Thank you 😄🌱

Thank you very much for tuning in and subscribing ! It really is appreciated 😄🌱. Fuel isn’t too much of a drama for myself, if you manage to look through a few of my other videos you will find I try to use battery equipment as much as possible !😄 May even be looking to bring a battery mower on this year too but undecided.. As for me I’ll possibly spend £15-£25 per month on fuel for my machines maximum.

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance I will for sure be binging your vlogs in time...my bi monthly petrol prices was around €55...I filled up my containers (not as full as normal) it was pushing over €80+ ...

@@dodge7679 oh wow that is quite a jump! Especially over the year.. have you thought about incorporating some battery equipment to try and limit the future cost?

Would love to but cost wise at the moment to replace petrol with battery powered not viable...

Hi pal it’s a forest master 😄 I have a review here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9bkd3HJr_dQ.html

Thank you ! I am based in Morayshire, North Scotland 😄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌱

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance 👋 from Australia!

All trees were planted by his late Father, he wants them there as long as possible, trees already have an accepted quote to be tidied up in January 😄

Hi Joseph! Thank you for tuning in as always 💪🏽. Awesome ! Thank you for the feedback, it’s always great having a guest on - there will be a lot more over the winter period 😄

It would be a fantastic size lawn too ! It is a shame🌱🌱

Hi Patti ! I hope you are well and thank you for tuning in 😄. I actually asked the customer this but he likes doing the pressure washing himself apparently, although RU-vid doesn’t pay that much for the small guys like me, it’s more about the enjoyment creating the content for people like you!😄 Thank you again for tuning in and I hope you enjoy the channel 🙂 Sam🌱

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance I am sure enjoying it, I will probably be watching a lot over the weekend to get caught up. I did notice that you currently have less than 3k subs! Will have to see what we can get done about that!!

@@pattib1914 fantastic ! There’s a range of content - my channel is solely lawn care but when jobs allow I like to get the clear ups, hedge work & maintenance videos posted too 😄🌱. 2022 will be a year of better quality videos I promise you 😄
