3 passes and a lot of trimming

[MikeLT1Z28]

65hoss and myself went and did one of his customers that had moved recently. i am not sure when the last time a mower of any type touched this property but the pics speak for themselves. he cut it 3 times while i ran the trimmer. also we are told the guy who used to live there was a landscaper. hopefully these links will work, I haven't developed an LCO page yet.

How long did that take you?

[TJLC]

Been there done that! I remember cutting grass so tall one time, that there were rats running all over the place, as I was mowing. That was freaky.

[oneEXMARKfan]

Oh, I thought I had seen it all......(did see a goat leg last year) But never any rats running around! *wonder what fellow LCO's would rather see....rats or scrubs? RATS!!!

[MikeLT1Z28]

i didn't look at the clock but it was about 2.5 - 3 hours from unloading to loading back up.

i'd rather see rats, at least you can legally exterminate them. :D

[65hoss]

It took us 2.5 hours to complete. In places it was over 3' high.

Oh, I did it with the Lazer HP with the MULCHING kit attached. I cut it at 3.5 inches and it never slowed down. I ran at about 5 or 6 mph. We ran over it two more times to get the stragglers.

Mind if I ask how much you charged for that??? Was it flat rate or hourly... I usually go hourly on projects like that.

[65hoss]

I'd rather not. But I will say that usually I estimate how many hours and quote accordingly. PM me if you want more info.

that place looks like my old home place.

That's not bad. I had a lady called me the other day wanting an estimate, got there and pulled up, told my wife-no way. I'll quote it high enough she'll never want it. Guess what, I was wrong. It's a quarter acre, told her $40 a week, and first cut $80, she didn't bat an eye. Front yard was 2 feet tall and back yard was overgrown bushes and trees, couldn't even see a path. Told her it would take three or four cuts to get it in shape, she said no problem. When I got done, she had all kinds of things she wanted done-bush trimming, hedge trimming, tree and bush removal, etc. Told her $40 per hour per person, and she said she would keep me busy most of the summer. Go figure, this yard looked like hell, and the woman doesn't care how much she spends.
