This job came through, and I was asked to go around and do a quote for the customer. When I was shown a massive patch of blackberries in the backyard, I basically said it wasn't something I was overly keen to do. I did throw a number at the customer, but it was well outside his budget, especially as it was a rental property. I was then shown a pile of green waste at the end of the drive, and we agreed on a price. After that, I then offered to do a full cleanup on the front section at no extra cost. The tenant was super happy with the arrangement and booked me in to complete the work. All up, I spent around 8 hours on this job, including 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: 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 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 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 Australia.

Q: Why do you have 2 channels that seem the same?
A: Quick Cuts (my original channel) has music in the background. Quick Cuts V2 is for those that like just machine noise, and it doesn't have musi

    Hi George! I’m glad you were able to take a holiday. If anyone deserved one, it’s you!
  • i like hanging out in another country this way through youtube … and i applaud you for not mixing weird and unnecessary, repetitive “music” into the background of this video
  • @marymasden6616
    Welcome back George you have been missed. ❤❤😊😊
  • So glad you are smart enough to know when it’s time for some R&R. Physical and mental health are of paramount importance. That being said, it’s so great to have you back! Cheers!
  • I’m 65 and do my own yard work, I was always told by my dad that you should always make sure that the front looks good because that’s the first impression people see and if it’s messy people would think what does the inside look like 😊
  • Hi George! I’m so glad you were able to take a holiday! You were definitely missed, and I’m so glad you’re back. You did a lovely job on this yard, it looks so much better. ❤
  • @megbond
    Welcome back George! My favourite part of these videos is watching George put that little workhorse of a mower through it's paces!
  • @lisadeluca5714
    Missed you George! But glad you've had a refreshing vacay/holiday! Be well~
  • @user-gx4du6lv1d
    You are certainly a hard worker George. That was a huge pile of branches. The place looked much tidier after you finished. Great job. 😊
  • @sandramarc4858
    Woohoo..my Saturday night is back to normal!! Welcome back George...fantastic work as always!
  • @louanderson5821
    I think you gave this gentleman's front yard a good cleanup in preparation for winter. Good to have you back. Hope your vacation was lovely.
  • @user-le7of4sn3s
    One of my favorite things is how you identify the plants. And you despise blackberry bushes.😊
  • @slincolne
    I was a little disappointed when you removed the pile of garden waste in the back yard and there was no lawnmower hidden under it :-). Great work !
  • @user-ef3ve2up3j
    I enjoy watching your lawn makeovers. You explain the different trees. Keep up the great job.
  • @shaggyda2758
    Great job! What a difference, the neighbors must love it too.
  • @user-um6bv6ru7u
    So good to see you back George. Always remember your health & well-being comes first. Your so Awesome George. Take care of yourself.
  • Excellent cleanup, George! 👍🏻💚💚👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 That place needs so much more work. You know, bed cleanup and mulch. Then, of course, the nastiest blackberry invasion he has allowed to infest the backyard. When we built there were 3 acres of blackberry bushes, 15 feet high, no joke. It took a dump truck, backhoe, skid steer, 3 men, and 3, 12 hour days to clear them. Lots of bees!!
