Thanks for those that commented positively on my latest video. I got great feedback and was also able to land another lawn renovation. I hope you enjoy the video.
On this job I use the ECHO DPAS2600 battery power base with straight edger attachment, HART 40 volt battery string trimmer, TORO HDX2000 60" mower, and STIHL BR800 blower.
I anticipate comments of folks upset I blew clippings at the house. My alternative was to blow them at the neighbor's house/yard, so I opted to keep the mess on the client's yard and clean it up there. With side yards this narrow, and this much grass, there is no controlling where it lands. A mulching plate or discharge chute blocker would have created a VERY poor cut and would have probably not even been able to function. There is no mower that can mulch this much growth (I guess maybe if you go .5 MPH there is a chance, but even then the moisture in this grass would just turn it to a paste as I mowed it and clog the deck).
As mentioned towards the end of the video, I usually leave debris street side for free city pickup. This neighborhood has a rule about leaving debris out longer than a day (which is silly, because since the city only comes by a few times a week it means you would have to time your jobs to their pickups and what if you only have the weekends free for yard work?) so I hauled it all away to avoid getting the client a nastygram from the Homeowner's Association.
I generally don't collect grass clippings, but this yard was VERY thick and tall, and we were supposed to have some thunderstorms that would have soaked the clippings, prevented them from drying out, and smothered the lawn, so I decided to take the extra time and gather them up.
