WHERE TO MAKE YOUR ZERO TURN?! [LET'S SETTLE THE DEBATE!]

Today Rob and I are taking a quick second to demonstrate the difference between turning on the lawn, and turning on a sidewalk. Yes there are pro's and cons to both, so help me settle the debate!
When turning on the lawn, you cover your tracks but unfortunately still add stress to the lawn when you turn. When you turn on the sidewalk, you don't tear up the lawn, but you end up tracking on the sidewalk or driveway.
Where do you guys do your"K turn", in the lawn, or on the sidewalk? Let's settle the debate once and for all!
PS, don't forget to comment down below the phrase that pays ;)

Help me settle the debate! Grass or walks?!

@markdavey2107 Жыл бұрын

Turn on the lawn ..keep everything left on lawn not walks or driveways

@sethmiller4250 Жыл бұрын

In my opinion, it depends on the property that you’re doing because in some circumstances it’s better to turn on the grass like if he has pavers or a brand new driveway where if you have a customer with a older driveway where your skidmarks don’t show up as bad

Hi Brian great topic. I'm currently in my 22nd season mowing professionally. I train my guys to stay off driveways and sidewalks. Especially concrete! The stains look awful. Other reasons are to avoid broken windows. As far as tearing the grass is concerned I'm kind of stickler on learning to turn without tearing. Employees will roll their eyes but im out there with them to teach them and I feel it's worth it.

I mow first because you don't always know where the mower can get to.

@mikec8123 Жыл бұрын

It's a lawn mower not a concrete mower. 2 times around the perimeter shooting grass in then finish mowing with or without stripes.

@susiemathias1247

So my 2 cents for what it’s worth is: Mow blowing clippings into the yard away from sidewalks and beds. I then edge after mowing then collect or blow cuttings away. As far as zero turn on lawn or crossing into the street or sidewalks, for subdivisions and those small yards as you’re showing. No doubt cross into the street. Those lawns aren’t large enough to make turns in. 😂😂😂

We stay off the concrete as much as possible. We try not to even cross it to avoid leaving marks. The fewer reasons we give customers to complain the better. Leave no trace type of thing. Plus grass can get smashed down on the concrete and is harder to blow and sometimes leaves little remnants. You know all of this. We turn in our outline/border pass.

@jo6520 Жыл бұрын

It depends on how wet the grass is. If it's dry you won't leave marks and you can blow the grass off the street.

@billreynolds2221

I've never really thought about it but my instinct is to cut first and edge after. Growing up watching my father do it this way probably accounts for that. I also turn my mowers on the grass and avoid doing so on the driveway or sidewalks. Again, my dad said you amore likely to create an unwanted projectile on concrete so avoid that. All good advice. If I had to hire someone to cut my yard I would avoid anyone who spends too much time on hard surfaces. I've seen some real bad operators who will run these mowers anywhere to save time. Avoid those people.

I'm 13 and this week my bussniess has grown like crazy my GMB have grown and I'm getting about 2 calls a day today I mowed 8 lawns day before I did 4, Yesterday I went from a push mower to a 5500$ mower, Exmark Radius 44in, And I bought a trailer this week all brand new stuff. These videos are super helpful! Thanks lots!

One thing I like to do is mow around the perimeter first, cutting the grass and throwing the grass clipping away from the flower beds, bushes, trees, house . and then make my turn on the grass .

@zacrentz4457 Жыл бұрын

I agree, it depends on the property for me as well. If we have wet/long grass we stay off the concrete, those stains stay in there for weeks. Especially on new concrete

@mrmullin7 Жыл бұрын

I’m just a homeowner but I’ve been edging second lately. That way I can see the blades of grass that the mower won’t reach and not have to spend more time with the trimmer than I need too. When I trim first I always seem to waste time cutting grass with the trimmer that would be faster to do with the mower.

@ethanjohansen3324 Жыл бұрын

Hey Brian. I bag most of my properties so I feel like its better to edge/weedeat and then mow. That way it picks up the clippings that the weedeater leaves. I do agree that it depends on the property and weather for which way you turn around. Great video as always!

@bazclear2468 Жыл бұрын

Always have turned on the lawn. Then do final perimeter pass to block out those turns. But always use both joysticks/levers when turning

@sawyerspain5396 Жыл бұрын

Sidewalk!! More complete stripes, looks nicely finished

@doug0823 Жыл бұрын

i agree with you! Turn on Grass. One thing you didn't mention but you do is if you are operating your zero turn correctly all tires are always moving on a turn and therefore less chance of tearing up the yard or marking the concrete. Like sitting in your car stopped and just turning the wheel is going to leave marks instead of only turning wheel while moving.
