Contact the bank that took over the foreclosure. Tell them you have services unpaid and you will put a lean on the home until it’s paid off. It will help if you have some proof or documents and the bank will pay you because they can’t do anything with it until a lean is off the home. Simple phone call or a visit to that bank will do and $80 is pennies to the bank just to clear any hassle.

80 bucks isn't just 80 bucks when you've worked for it. At some point that 80 could be a lifesaver.

I thought this was video was going to be about confronting a customer who didn’t pay after you did the work lol but it was still satisfying to see some dope yard care done.

Looks like your trailer tung jack would prevent you from lowering your tailgate ? places like tractor supply sell a longer extended trailer hitch {the part with the ball on it } which would possible allow you to open the tailgate with the trailer hitched.

It sucks when they don’t pay, or hold your money for a week or two. Turns out you weren’t the only one they wasn’t paying

You've got a great attitude and great work ethic. Agree that it's tough when customers don't pay - I can imagine if they were foreclosed on the family was going through a tough time. Great idea to do card on file and make the whole billing and payment process easier. Keep up the good work.

You've got skill trimming bushes lol

One suggestion I have for you is when you put debris in the back of your truck or trailer but a tarp down first and then when you unload it all you can just drag the tarp and there is no additional clean up.

Hey bro, someone will always talk negative about the person whos succeeding, don't let that bug you, fords are good pick up everyone has a preference keep up the good work!

“You can’t get discouraged “ keep fighting..

felt that when he said landscaping people are on the bottom of the lists of people’s priorities 😓

The season is here my job starts back up on Monday for the season back to landscaping

I deal mostly with cash customers. My rule is that a new customer pays up front, a regular won't get another cut if they owe me for a cut. I have some that will ask me up front if they can pay double next time as they are short on cash, if they have a good record I go along with them. Also, that is a great truck!

I don’t know my customer are always wanting to pay me in advance. But I never except it until time of service

Dude, You are Talented! Especially with the Bushes. I tried it and kept messing em up, over correcting, ended up with Short Bushes lol

Get it from the bank, amd then add late charges, the bank can afford it😆

If you got a sawzall or hackzall use it for cutting bush roots when removing. Makes the job way easier!

Is now late winter a good time to trim ornamental grasses?

nice vid man and i like the shocks for thrle tailgate bro. keep on knocking them yards out im stoked for the mowing season upcoming 👌

Nice work fellas. Saw that tailgate shock on Fall River’s channel also. Planning on getting one soon.

What system do you use for charging a card on file? Thinking about switching to that instead of what I currently use.

How do you like that Milwaukee hedge trimmer? Trying to decide what i want to buy for my personal use

Good teamwork! Turned out good bro.

Yep we were getting burned all the time we started doing the card on file 4 years ago and I haven’t lost a penny ever since I charge the customers card as soon as I pull up to there lawn this way if there’s a problem w the card I no before I do the work

What program do you use for your billing? Did you have people who were hesitant about having their card on file?

You did a great job on the trimming. You made it look easy. 👍

It's sad you lost money on that job, and I remember this customer from last season, because you mentioned about not seeing the money. I also wondered at the time why you went back and did it again when you didn't get paid for the last job. I think you got burned an extra $40 because you went back when you shouldn't have bud. These people were obviously down and out at this time, and probably lost their home. I doubt they wanted to burn you by not paying, but something happened and they lost everything. It happens to the best of people some times. Love that hedge trimmer and all that came with it, and for $400, I would have bought that, esp for the extension. Happy that the new season will be starting soon. 😀👍

Do you add a fee or anything for credit card processing? Do you happen to have the Milwaukee 18v blower? if so how do you like it. Thanks a lot

Those bushes you hate at the first property, are called Nandinas. Keep up the great work bro!!

Stet honest opinon. You like the stihl trimmer or blower better than echos? Jw. Havent used echo in over 7yrs probably

Stet's Lawn Care Bro you fully motivated me to become a landscaper😊 Do I need all full equipment or can I start off with a blower a weedeater a mower & my broom?^_^

Hahaha I watch the whole video just for the title of the video...😂

What do you use for trimming down exposed tree roots?

What's the link to the bed springy thing I'd like to get some?

$80 keeps the lights on

Put a tarp under the debris. Pull the whole pile out as one by pulling on the tarp.

I also use Norman compost. My neighbor is a Norman fireman and says they are always having to go out there because it's always spontaneously catching fire.....lol.

Card on file? What do you use to get paid? An app or some the swipe for phones?

I think you will be successful in your business, because of your great attitude.

SterSON! Love the new truck! Hey might be worth checking with the bank or company who foreclosed to see if they want to pay you for maintaining the property. If not you could file a lien against the property then you have to be paid before the title can clear, but yeah $80, maybe not worth it.

Did you use the lawnmower 3.0 for those bushes?

Hey, just wondering where did you order your Vostok jackets from? I am interested in started own lawn care company and wanted to see what my design would look like

Just an idea and a method we use to empty large amounts of light cuttings. Place a tarp on the bed of the ute or trailer overhanging a foot out the back, load up on top then to unload you just drag tarp out and blow out the bed. Just food for thought and keep up the tidy work

Great job on the trimming of the scrubs

Wow both of you guys do a great job. Keep it up, and I hope you guys stay busy this coming season!! $$$

What do I have to do to make my business an actual business? How can I file it on my taxes?

Did you treat the roots left in ground from Rose bushes ?? Roses are a pain in the Butt to remove i had over 200 in my yard but the bushes I didn't get the major root out they are growing back 😳😳☹☹

Card on file is so nice! Best decision I have made. It is so easy and you get paid right away. Don’t have to worry about people not paying either

Try bringing some burlap or a tarp u can cut into strips or whatever and lay it down before you start hedge clipping then less gets into mulch or soil, roll it up and unroll the debris into a leaf bag or whatever. And I also like dealing with grasses in that manner much cleaner and tidier. And if you take a pair of regular hand shears or clipping shears and circle around the grasses after the you get the bulk out you can shape them up nicely and more ball like.

Pooper scoopers are below landscapers.. I have 2 accounts behind right now. It’s not a bunch of money, but it’s the principle of it all that really burns me up.

Yep I won't take cash unless they pay me upfront. All last year I was 100% CC on file so my no pay accounts are zero. Good move on doing that sir.

Wow love the shock on your tailgate

Where did you get the modification for your truck?

Will be looking at rough country floor liners now thanks

Where's the compost landfill at? I didn't know we had one here in the OKC metro.

Do a video review of your electric tools for landscaping I’m sure a lot of us would like to hear about real world run times an what you do to charge on the truck

Hey brother..how ya like the stihl handheld hedge trimmer? I have an HS 45 I have owned for a while and love it. The pruning looked great man. If no CC on file..def get $$ up front. No need for the diesel...i have a 2500 hd Chevy with the 6.0L gas engine and has worked awesome for me.....pulls anything from my mowers to a skid steer and a fifth wheel camper. Also much cheaper to work on😁👍. Keep up the good work brother👍👊!

All across America there always is a Carlos 😆

I like how you say "its just a Milwaukee" Only one of the Best tool makers out there! :-) Ford trucks rock!!

Any business has losses. I've been scammed on lawn care and been scammed on my eBay store. Happens everywhere. So overall do you think Milwaukee battery-powered tools is better than echo or sthil? If you look on the roads today, ford trucks outlast chevy or dodge. I have a 2002 ford 150 that is coming close to 300K miles and in the last 100K miles I am sure I carried at minimum 100 tons of materials

You are very smart to use battery operated tools, that is all we use now too and I don't think I can ever go back to gas powered equipment.

Axe is great for roots as the mud blunts chain on saw too quick for me and it’s easier to sharpen. It can also be done by your buddy whilst your asking for payment 👹

old lawn care pro tip for you stetson.....lay a tarp or light sheet down under the bushes before you trim the hedges.....it makes the clean up a breeze.....and be of all you dont waste time or fuel blowing it clean

Last year I had a customer that wanted to fist fight over a 150 dollar invoice I sent them after they refused to pay me for a Hedge Trimming job. I took the loss and moved on. I had big time landscapers that I went to for advice they said hire a credit bureau usually works 9 times out of 10. I had one tell me he had a customer rip them off $15,000 on a complete Backyard Reno. Took it to small claims and lost and had to pay lawyer fees, totally insane. Wish you luck my friend!!! I just got legal just this year got my permits, buisness license, insurance & credit bureau. Things have been slow bills been eating up the savings fingers crossed things speed up🤞🤞

Get a sawzall! Great for all the roots etc so you don’t blunt chains. Farm Jack works a treat pulling small plants like that rose bush in seconds

That is ok not getting paid, we'll here to support your channel.

Its not about the money but the sweat and effort people put into their work .And its sad how people wont pay, this goes to every trade.

Same thing happened to me. $140 foreclosed house knew it was a bust. I’ve been burned for nearly $3500 at this point over the course of 5 years

If you have a light to medium load you can line your trailer and/or truck bed with a tarp and and pull it right out with ease at the dump site.

Great video! Maybe a bit of advice if I may? Never really a good idea to use a Chainsaw blade for the ground (telescopic in this case when taking out the Rose stumps) as it will blunt the teeth on the chain. Furthermore, a more fast and less time consuming day of getting out small to medium shrub stumps or even tree stumps would be to use a Matock tool (apologise for spelling) or a pick axe of some description . Bhgardenservice

Great video! Loved watching the shrub trimming! Hey, please link me on that tailgate strut you put on your truck! I need one! I also can't wait to try it my new Milwaukee M18 hedge trimmer!

Aways respect the grind brother

Being a NY native i always wonder why southern states dont use grasses that stay green year round

Just one of those "cost of doing business" things. Still really sucks though.

What do u use for your video editing?

wow nice work my daughter is looking after 5 acre small country estate in west wales uk called Pentre Mansion shes using JD 4WD nice, and stihls, as well as subcontractors when she cannot physically do some treework, I live in thailand its so freaking differnt here just junk machinery no one looks after their chains saws my gardener brought one in from her dad which had a two inch loose chain, never been service, it's junkworld turdworld, manual labour is good, when you get the right guy 10 bucks a day cash, that's it, no "home depot" and wait for it 36C heat way over 100F all day most days I was really pleased to see the way in which you guys whizzed thru the stuff great and happy, screw that customer just get woodkiller in the sprayer and NUKE the lawn even with a message! Ok its afternoon back to sleep to hot to think...

Need to get yourself a good backpack blower stihl 650 highly recommend for the team. Blow off every walk way and clean yard lines for better impressions and it just makes it look a whole hell of a lot better. Turns a young man's job into a professionals career. Need to also get truck done with name or logo along with number and locations of services (towns not states lol) just some idears

Why do you do the scalping? Not sure where you live but here in ohio I've never heard of ppl scalping intentionally

Mine is already green here in Ms 85+ outside lol I'm happy finally making money again

I had one who was an attorney that filed bankruptcy- told me with a snicker I'd have to sue for the $1200.... I don't play courts as I grew up in the streets! Dude got a truck of steaming grass clippings dumped against his garage door- with his car inside. Never got my money, but someone saw him trying to shovel a steaming pile of smelly grass out of the way....

There is not lack of money in the universe. plenty of money to be acquired with the energy of someone who is abundant

Any difference between the Milwaukee and Stihl battery hedge trimmers?

Here in Mesa Az Indian tribes own the landfill and green waste disposal. We pay them to accept the stuff. They sell the mulch and compost they make

14:50 so true.. mad love bro

YOU'RE TOO NICE!!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 🎆DOPE🎆👍🎆TRUCK🎆

When unloading from the back of the truck or a trailer, i like to put a tarp underneath whatever is going to get piled in. Once ready to dump it just drag and flip the tarp. All done.

Good work guys!

Take a look at "The root slayer" shovel, I love it, it rips through most roots.

We always collect our money up front or upon arrival and we tell them we don’t start work until they compensate

I'm an electrician....why am I watching this?.....lol...😁

We had a landscaping company for years but ours were mostly commercial accounts. However, we did a few residential customers and they were the worst. I would never recommend working with them, they just can't be trusted.

Wh a t boots are yah using I'm looking for a new pair

How do you go about to small claims court?

You have professionalism that most don't. Wish you were in my neighborhood

If you have it documented cant you put a lran on the home?

Well your handling the not getting paid with class...let this one go. Just always understand who your dealing with.

Use a Pick when digging up root balls. Saves a bunch of time and makes it easy to pry out

didn't you sell that house?? lol or does the new house have the same garage position?? You should do a video/tour of that shelter in your garage floor. ;)

how long do the batteries last
