Cool Ronnie, just lemme know when you wanna get rid of it and the $$$ you want for it. Yeah, for the amount of salting and stuff you do, a v-box will be perfect.

HOT HOT HOT today!!!:dizzy: I feel dizzy too, I think the heat got to me a lil today:dizzy: Just threw out my lawn boy today since it was junk and it came from the garbage anyhow. Need to get a good pushmower again. Thinking about getting a little John Deere 21 or something.

Everyone take car and keep up on the fluids in this heat!!!

[Clapper&Company]

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

JP

[jpp]

Tom, every I bet every one thinks were nuts talking about snow, LOL

Well, actually it does need to cool down some but not that much. We have a good 6 months left here and I want to enjoy warm weather for awhile. Not Hot weather like it was the past two days.


JP

[Rottman]

Is their anyone in the Dayton area that uses either one of these? I am considering one of them in the 61" size. I would like to see some yards that were mowed with them. Thanks Mike

[Clapper&Company]

Wow was it a cooker today, it was hot even on the ZTR. It was a dry heat today.

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

Whats up guys?? Finally getting some well needed rain here today!!!! And I am actually glad of it!!!! I did a small brick retaining wall around a flower bed yesterday. It was about a pallet and a little extra of block. Nothing too big, but it turned out nice!!! So here are a few pics:

[Gators_Aerator]

Rain in Columbus -


By the way - that retaining wall looks nice.

[Clapper&Company]

Well Tommy Boy, where do i start, with your wall ?????



?????



?????



???????? I'm not sure how to brake this to you ??????









It looks nice buddy, I need to post some of my wall here to.

[Clapper&Company]

Tom, hey whats going on?? I talked to my uniform guy today, hes going to be calling you about your uniform program. His names Joe, hes great to work with.

On a diffent note, I have about 25 yards of mulch, to install right down town. we need to talk, and setup a time that you can come down and help drive truck, so we can get it nocked out. Between the flatbed & Dump I think it will be EZ to do that in a day.

I'll call you later.

[Dublinboy13]

Hey guys,

I am in a time crunch and need find a place in central Ohio that sells hydro seed. I need enough to cover about one acre.

Did you try calling lesco to see if they had any.

JP

[Clapper&Company]

Did any of you guys hear about this?

http://www.wtov9.com/news/13432797/detail.html

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

What are you trying to say Ronnie? That my wall looks like poop?? I like it, I didnt pick out the brick, the customer did and I did the work. I didnt have a chop saw, so I split all of the block that needed it by hand with a chisel and hammer. That worked nice though, since it faced the block real nice. But say what you want, I like it and am proud of it!!!!:weightlifter: If you dont like it, poo on you:laugh: :gunsfirin j/k

[Clapper&Company]

You know I was d**king with you. I called you

[WALKER LANDSCAPE]

TOM
The wall looks great the black dyed sets that stone off. Good job cutting it wth a chisel WOW You did a fine job in my book:clapping:
How is everyone else doing we finally got some well need rain too.
JOSH

[Clapper&Company]

I agree walker, its a good looking wall. I'd put my name on that wall. Great job Tom. If you keep doing them and you dont want to buy a cut off saw.

You can use a 4" grinder w/ Dim. Blade to cut them. We use one for making small cuts and stuff.

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

Yes Ronnie, I know you were dicking with me, I was just giving it back.:rolleyes: My friggin starter died in my truck, so now I gotta get a new one in today, and put it in out in the rain:cry: But at least we are getting rain!!!!

But thanks for the compliments on the wall. It took me 6 hours to put it in, and thats by my self. Yes Josh, that black mulch really sets off the white block. The customer originally wanted red mulch:hammerhead: and I refused and sold him on the black mulch. I hate red mulch.

But now I gotta get ready to go out and flap some wet a$$ grass. I think I am suffering from anal glacouma today, cause I just cant see my ass going to work today!!:laugh:

[jpp]

Did any of you guys hear about this?

http://www.wtov9.com/news/13432797/detail.html

Yep they covered it on the news down here. Pretty scary to say the least.

JP

JP

[WALKER LANDSCAPE]

No I am going to add that to the tailgate or the side of the bed.

[jpp]

JP

The grass cutting is slowing down big time on some properties. Going to 14 days on some of them. I should sneak over and turn the sprinklers on for them.lol

I saw you had a dump for sale and have been thinking about it. But I am leaning towards buying a used boat at the moment. For the weekends and when I can get away for a day or two. So if I get a boat then the dump is out until fall. lol

JP

[WALKER LANDSCAPE]

[WALKER LANDSCAPE]

That was the first time I used them I rented it for a day for 350.00 Made around a nice chunk today. It is like painting into the mulch bed as thick as you want :clapping: Also yes the guy at the end is me.

[jpp]

Started raining here 15 minutes ago and if the radar is right we should have about another hour of it. But I will believe that when I see it. After a second look it is not going to happen. I have been wrong before, I hope that I am this time too.

JP

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

[TriPLandscaping]

Now you can call your business Walkers Express Landscapes, LOL!!!:laugh: Sounds fun and good luck!!! maybe when you do reschedule, maybe I will have more time and can come meet you or what not......I might even talk Ronnie into comming.:)

Well, I got the trailer. THANKS SO MUCH BRANDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:waving: It was a pleasure meeting you as well. The trailer is awesome!! I just put my racks on it and I love it!!! Although my Scag WB looks a little lonely back there:cry: Now I have an excuse to get the Tiger Cub, lol. That thing just barely fit in my dad's garage. The side I use is a single car size. The back is against my plow which is also against the back wall, and the trailer is against that and only has one foot of room in front of the tongue and the door. 10x bigger than what I had.

Ronnie, thanks for tagging along. That auction was cool. It was crazy to see pallets of computers and such just sitting there. I still think we should have gotten a pallet of riot helmets ,lol:laugh: :)

Well gentlemen, yet another scorcher for monday. A few of the lawns are on mow and go or bi-weekly. It is getting real bad. Instead of the snow dance we all wanted back in December and January, we need to break out the rain dance for June/July!!!!

[WALKER LANDSCAPE]

MUD!!!!!!!!!!! What the hell is that??????? That there dont happen in these parts. The dirt looks more like dried, cracked concrete. Bring some of that rain when you come up this way.

Josh, you should seriously put Blue Ribbon Express somewhere on your truck. That would be friggin great!!!!:laugh:

Anyway, its bed time for me. Gotta rest up before working in the furnace tomorrow:cry:

:waving: Hey guys, I need help on pricing, I have a new customer in the New Albany neighborhood and don't know what a reasonable price would be. They need to have their shrubs cleaned up one or two times a month. How much would one charge for this service (there are shrubs and trees all around the house and the perimeter of the property). In addition to the trimming, they need the clippings cleaned up(this is the reason why the last guy is no longer doing this job). I would estimate two or three hours on site or this job each time. Thanks for you input...

:usflag:

[Travis E]

Finally got some rain today!!! We had just over an inch so far but it is still looking like we could get some more yet today. I hope everyone else got some rain that needed it! Hopefully I can get back mowing again next week payup

two to three hours on site with at least an hour of drive time to get there and back. Your price will depend on your costs, I would not got any lower than 40 per man hour. That is me though. Waht is your tjme worth? Provide quality worK? Great service and show up when you tell them? That all figures in. Good luck.

I hate to say this we got some rain today too with more to come. Only calling for a total of 1/2 to 1 inch of rain. IMO that is not going to do squat. Ground is way to dry. We need a steady rain all night and all day to do some good.

JP

[WALKER LANDSCAPE]

We have been getting showers everyday for the last few days. Late night and evenings. Had a good soaking today around 6:00. It was in the middle of finishing a yard of course. Oh well we need it. Kept mowing for two more. That last install put us a day behind.
JOSH

[botomwatcher]

Thanks for the info JP. Rain finally, been going for over an hour here at the homestead. Thank God!!!!!! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

Anyone here tried any of the RFP/ITB pay sites? :confused:

[WALKER LANDSCAPE]

Hey guys this must be a sign that everyone is staying busy. Either that or I didnt get the MEMO. LOL Hope everyone is doing well.

Tom
I will be up that way this Sat for a couple days of RR.
JOSH

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

Been semi-busy. Still hasnt rained up here. Things aer getting terribly crispy. A few of my lawns looked like I had just cut them. Oh well, it will rain sooner or later. And when it does, it will be ALOT hopefully.

Whats everyone doing for the fourth?? Gonna go see some fireworks and drink a few frosty cold ones!!!:drinkup:

Josh, sounds like you are gonna be doing some fishing. Lemme know if you want to meet up or something.

[WALKER LANDSCAPE]

Had to work todday Sunday just so I can go on the little trip. WE have go had alot of showers off and on. Starting to green up.
TOM
Thanks for the idea of a COLD ONE :drinkup:
JOSH

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

That sucks!!! I hate working sundays.:cry: But you gotta do what you gotta do to get some RR!!!

Speaking of a cold one, I am gonna twist a top off as we speak!!:drinkup:

[jpp]

What going on guys, been out at Buckeye lake since Friday. Just went by some yards and the rain we got in the middle of last week did very little. Some greening but not enough to get excited about.


JP

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

RAIN???? What the hell is that?? We havent gotten any rain in seriously a month and a half. We have gotten little sprinkles here and there, but nothing of any good. Alot of the lawns are turning into mow and goes.......cut, edge a few spots if need be, blow off and run. Sometimes just cut and blow off with the mower. Sounds crappy, but nothing else to do!!! I have sent my customers a letter saying I will be weedwacking every other week or when it needs it so as not to cause burning out of the edges, etc. I sent this so when they see me roll in cut blow and leave they dont get pissed and call. Saves a few headaches.

[WALKER LANDSCAPE]

Hopefully there isn't any rain up there this weekend LOL Tom. The lawns are greening up a bit but not much. We have been getting alot of landscaping install done thou.
JOSH

[WALKER LANDSCAPE]

Hey guys Happy Fourht of July :drinkup: :cool2: Everyone stay safe out there.
JOSH

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

Hey Josh, whats up?? Sorry I missed your call, but I was cleaning up my one retail/commercial property that got trashed:angry: by the party crowd. But I will be giving you a shout back tomorrow evening.

Hey Rhino , How's business ??? We are located in Hilliard and always looking for customers and praying for rain LOL

[RhinoL&L]

All my customers who dont water are still pretty brown and business is pretty slow except for the few landscaping jobs im doing. how are you guys doing

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

Everything is very slow now. I havent cut a few of my lawns in three weeks and they still have no growth what so ever!!!:cry: But even my irrigated ones are starting to look a lil peekish. I have a few mulch/landscape jobs lined up, but still I wanna cut grass!!!! Oh well. And it is gonna be in the 90's
today mon tues and wed!!! So the lawns are really, really gonna suffer!!! Aside from my 2 commercial properties, I may not do a damn thing this week. No point in driving around wasting gas just to look at a bunch of brown lawns. Well at least with this down time, I can do some work on my truck and start rebuilding my plow. Gotta keep busy someway.

[BUCKEYE MOWING]

All my customers who dont water are still pretty brown and business is pretty slow except for the few landscaping jobs im doing. how are you guys doing

Not to bad...slow on the mowing but we are doing a few patios and ponds as well as some landscaping now so things are looking up ...I just miss mowing !! sad but true LOL

Shawn,

I was wondering how long it would take for you to get here. The rain we got on the fourth sure did not help much.I figured by Monday things would be green but that is not the case. Still going to go by at least two routes this week and maybe a few that I skipped last week to see what is shaking or baking in the sun I should say.

JP

[RhinoL&L]

we need some rain! this heat is going to drive me crazy:dizzy: . i hate going by my lawns to see brown crunchy looking grass. We may have to start the rain dance! lol

[jpp]

we need some rain! this heat is going to drive me crazy:dizzy: . i hate going by my lawns to see brown crunchy looking grass. We may have to start the rain dance! lol

Just wait until 3 a days start for practices. I will be the one laughing then. Went by some more yards this afternoon and the rain did very little for them that is for sure. Calling for some maybe mid week.

JP

[RhinoL&L]

3 a days, practice after school and games make it hard to squeeze mowing, leaf clean ups and fall clean ups into saturday afternoons and sundays but I'll have my uncle and another guy do most of the work during football season.
Then after football is over i will do more of the work. After that in nov. thru feb. hopefully i will get to use the plow on that stuff... oh yeah snow! and have some fun this winter, hopefully with a new TRUCK!
Shawn

[joe the lawn guy]

hello all
i haven't been on the site in awhile, but see some names from plowsite. just stoping by to say whats ^ ... i now have a weeks work and thats it! DRY wheather s!cks man!!!!!!!! on plowsite my name was crb 2500... I will try to check back here tomarrow . rain dance tonight !

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

CRB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:waving: :waving: :waving: Whats going on man????? Havent heard from you in so long!!!!! Glad to see you are back!!!! Yeah, I think we are all working on the Ohio rain dance, lol. It sucks, but hopefully when it rains, it pours.

[jpp]

Well the rain we got last week did some greening up, but with the hights int he 90's the past two days theyare going back to brown. Yards were at 14 days and had very little to zero growth.


JP

[RhinoL&L]

ive heard our best chance for some rain is wed. but still they are only saying 60% but then from wed. on it is supposed to cool off to low 80s

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

This is really starting to stink!!! The leaves on the trees are already starting to look wilted and dried up. If this keeps up, we could have an early fall. They are saying 60% or so for weds to here, but it doesnt mean its gonna happen. Oh well, just keep hanging on like this past winter, rain will come sooner or later

[RhinoL&L]

i have the same thing happenign at a few of my houses. I fell like i need to get the baggers, blowers and rakes out lol. I have been doing a rain dance for the past week and havent seen a drop! hopefully it just takes a few days for the rain:laugh: hopefully we will get the rain on wed they are talking about

[jpp]

Same forecast I heard to guys. Oh well, I agree I think the leaves will be falling early this year just like last year. I was busy as heck in October and November was less money that in years past.


JP

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

I kinda wish we get an early fall. A few quick big clean ups, then just grass cutting till snow hits, lol. Kinda weird driving around today though, usually there are 9 billion trucks and trailers full of mowers running around, but there were maybe 10 different lco's out and about. I think this drought is gonna weed out the guys who are doing this for quick cash, lowballers, etc. I have been seeing alot of newer trucks, mowers, etc for sale around here lately as well. But keep that rain dance going and pray for that rain on wednesday!!!!

[joe the lawn guy]

hey , i hate snow i lost my big contract.(lowballed) as for an early fall NO!! it will be late i have to many lawns to plant... this will pass in a month but if you have $ or work save it.. i'm working 40 and no more this week so i can get 40 next week.. just be glad you don't have to make pay roll and keep you + 2 people busy..

[WALKER LANDSCAPE]

First off CRB WERE HAVE YOU BEEN :hammerhead: Doing well I hope. The rain dance needs to happen for real. It was very HOT today felas. Stay hydrated felas.
JOSH

[joe the lawn guy]

i was doing the last snow dance and the neighbor put me in jail.. said next time have the wife do it.. have'nt had wildlife since.. j/k.. i had a bad time for a min. but things are better.. 60/70 hours a week can fix anything...

[jpp]

Been raining since about noon. Looks like it is going to stop in a bit and I might try to get back out and finish up the route. Still calling for more rain on Wednesday too.

JP

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

800 degrees here and not a damn drop of rain. Every single one of my customers have called to be skipped for at least this week!!!!!:cry: Gonna be a long long boring week. Possibly rain tomorrow, but I doubt it. Damn it!!!!:cry:

[joe the lawn guy]

i went mowing today and had 10 on the list but only mowed 7 and with 2 guys it took 6 hours.. so hot i would'nt get off the lazer..


syden i sent you a pm if u need work call or write me..

[jpp]

Well, I did not go back out. Going to finish the route on Wednesday. It was very hot before the storms came in this morning. Before the storms it was 88 and right now it is 73.

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

Joe, pm sent!!!! Thank you for the offer!!!:waving:

JP, I will trade you and work in the rain rather than not work at all!!! Usually when I hear "crunch" come from grass, it is 20 degrees outside and covered in snow/ice. Not 95 degrees and burnt!!! But Im glad at least some of us are getting rain!!!

[jpp]

We need more rain than we have gotten in the past few days that is for sure. I was just not pressed to get them done. They are at 14 days and barely need it as it is. I actually had one customer call me and said his lawn perked up from last weeks rain. I went to cut it and it looked exactly the same as it did last week. I just laughed and went ahead and cleaned it up.

JP

[thefed]

wtf...this drought sucks...we did about 4 of 12 customers today. tomorrow we have still 'on', but if we see the customers b4 we mow, im guessing 2 of em might wave us off



sucks...i need some $$$ this is 2 early. i have npt seen a drop of rain in 2+ weeks

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

I know the feeling JP. We have not gotten a single drop probably since early to mid June. We would need several days of good steady rain to make up for this lack of rain we have gotten. Basically now I am only doing my 2 commercials, cause for some reason they always have some growth, and I can still bill em if I only even just pick up some trash and blow down the parking lots. At least that is some $$$.

Now that a good portion of the country is under a drought and not as many people are working as much or making $$$, its time to raise the damn gas prices!!!:hammerhead: They gotta make sure they can still kick the little guy when hes down. Bastards

[jpp]

Gas prices shoot. I just saw it at 3.19 today. What the heck is that. It was just up to 2.99 yesterday when I went and got gas.

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

Its crazy. It was 2.79 here yesterday and now 3.19 today. This whole gas price fluctuation of 20-30 cents or more at time is a little rediculous. But you gotta have gas to work, so just have to suck up and pay it. Oh well

[jpp]

Yep regardless of price we still need it. Unless we come up with solar units.:laugh:

[Smokey5826]

Just wanted to say hello to everybody whom readys this forum on a regular basis. I've been reading for a long time and just started posting. Not enough rain yet, hopefully we'll get a little more than just the weeds growing.

[thefed]

Gotta love the rain...hopin we get more!!!

[WALKER LANDSCAPE]

Hey felas how is everyone doing we have been getting rain about everyone night works out well. The drought has helped with our waiting list on landscaping thou. Its is sort of a double negative I guess:hammerhead:
JOSH

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

Still no rain here. This just can lick my ass!!! I think we have seriously gotten .75-.80 of an inch since the end of may. Doing alot of sitting around here lately. I would use this time to get more work, but people here would laugh and ask if I was ok. So just sit, twiddle my thumbs and not do any nonsense spending/driving for a bit, until things pick up. Although I did drive around and look at a few of my lawns, I will def. need the bagger for them if I actually cut next week. A few of them look like early fall lawns, with that nice thin layer of leaves on them. Looks like an early start to fall here fellas

[RhinoL&L]

The rain we got here on tues. wed. has not helped much but did actually get out to cut a few today. At least it has been cooler here the past few days. how about you guys? hope we get some rain so we all can get back to work. lol
shawn

[Drew Gemma]

the trees are just doing that to reduce the surface area of the tree. that way the amount of water they give of through transporation reduces even the trees try and save water. Now is a gooc time to prune those ornamentals help them out through the heat. I think we'll be okay in August.

[joe the lawn guy]

hows it going fellas i'm not working today so i took my boys shopping man s**t cost to much $150 bucks for like 5 or 6 outfits.. dam glad i don't go shopping much.. moral of this story i need to work 7 days a week.. if i'm not making money i'm spending it..

[WALKER LANDSCAPE]

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

Whats up guys??? Hasnt been much action here on the Ohio thread. Well, been slowly working on my plowing stuff here and there when time permits. Been getting a little bit of rain, thank god!! Temps have been in the 70's as well for the high, so I am not dying of heat stroke while working. Hope everyone is doing good!!!:waving:

[RhinoL&L]

Its been cooler here too. we havent had much rain since wed. Or sometime last week. I have been trying to get some accounts lined up for plowing and getting truck fixed up. how is everyone doing?:waving:

[Clapper&Company]

Tom, whats going on? Got the new dump omost ready, should be done by next week :)

[jpp]

What's up fellas? I am really thinking I might hit everything this week. I cut two routes on Monday and Tuesday last week and just did some drive bys on those and they are growing. If I did this all my routes wouild be right where they should be as in the order that I do them. But on the other hand the yards I did today (clintonville for Shawn) just did not grow much in two weeks. Decisiions, Decisions, and more decisions.

JP

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

Not much JP, how have you been?? I cut my whole route last week, and they all had decent growth since we have gotten some rain and the temps have been milder. So hopefully, everything is back on track for weekly maintenance.

Ronnie, you still working on that damn dump??? LOL!!!:rolleyes: :) You missed mulching season with it!! Well at least you will have it for leaf collection this fall. You still gonna get a leaf vac to put on the dump????

[RhinoL&L]

Hey guys, sounds like eveyone is starting to have a little work to do! Most of my lawns are starting to have some growth. I didnt do all the lawns on my route this week but i think they will all get cut next week!
Shawn

[WALKER LANDSCAPE]

Hey felas how is everyone stay busy I hope. We have been doing pretty well down south, We are having our county fair this week last night was truck night PULLS THAT IS. Tom those Chevy were pulling it out to the parking lot for awhile:weightlifter: :weightlifter: Then the might Dodge came through for their fans FORD let me down but my FORD does all I need it to do. There were guys that were pulling with there own street trucks. WOW I would not even think of that. :hammerhead: Oh yeah the FAIR FOOD :clapping: is great too.
JOSH

[Clapper&Company]

tom, you know how it is. yea im hoping for a vac, i'll bring it up for u to.

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

I wont need a vac truck Ronnie. Half of my accounts have woods to blow/dump the leaves into. The rest save for like 2 that I will have to haul, the city comes once a week and has big ass leaf vacs to come suck the piles off of the treelawns.

[Clapper&Company]

Tom, ok down here we use Vacs :)

[jpp]

Tom and Ron,

You guys holding down the fort in the Northern part for us Ohio guys.:laugh: We have gotten some rain here as of late. One heck of a thunderstorm at 8 this morning. Yards are starting to green up pretty good. Some are still hurting but for the most part greening up. Hitting it on Friday to get some done. I actually got a call from a customer saying to come cut it. She was one complaing when I was cleaning it up two weeks ago. Her home is for sale so I was trying to make it look good. Told her I would see her in the morning. Have a couple of hedge jobs to get done as well, so things are picking back up for us in Columbus. Stay cool and have a great Friday guys.


JP

[Clapper&Company]

JP good to hear it. were trying up here. We all need to hook up of these week ends and drink beer and play corn hole

[jpp]

Yep we need to get something set up. Before long we will be doing leaf season then snow season then spring cleanups then cutting grass. Oh we better get through this year first I guess. lol

[WALKER LANDSCAPE]

Hey felas whats going on DID SOMEONE SAY CORNHOLE:drinkup: Count me in.
Let me know when and were. I had a set made with WALKER LANDSCAPE printed on them. Another note the lawns are greening up here as well. Had a good terenchal down pour today. :clapping:
Well gotta run
JOSH

[RhinoL&L]

Hey guys, havent heard much for a few days. Hows everyone doing? how are things coming along with you guys? I did a mulch job and all my accounts on my monday route! Hope everyone is doing good:waving:
Shawn

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

Everything is finally going good. All of my lawns are growing like wildfire since the fertilizer they get is finally doing more than laying on the ground:rolleyes: That rain we got for 5 days really did the trick!!! A few of them were super tall!!!!!

[Travis E]

Been doing a lot of odd and end things just to keep "busy", did a hedge trimming job last Thursday which left me in poison ivy all over myself!:hammerhead: Really bad...hope everyone else is keeping busy since some have gotten rain.

[Clapper&Company]

It was hot as all hell today!!!!!:dizzy: It was even hot blazin across the lawns at 10 mph on the Tiger Cub!!!!!!! Supposed to be even hotter tomorrow, yay........sarcasm

[RhinoL&L]

I love the heat... not:dizzy: I start 3 a days tomorrow from 730 to 430 what a blast. but hopefully we will be good this year since we have a new coach. Good luck to everyone and keep cool!! Also would anyone want to have a meet sometime? just a thought...

[WALKER LANDSCAPE]

Hey felas how is everyone the route is back to normal now. Have some R&R coming. Man do I need it Tom did you get another mower or did I just miss it.
You are filling up the new trailer quick. Been having a run of bad luck lately. Stuff breaking down, (3) flat tires, trailer bearing blowing out, belts breaking, mowers going in the lake. What else can fate through at me. Oh well part of the biz I guess well NO I KNOW.
JOSH

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

Yes Josh, you did very much miss it!!! I put pics of it in the pics forum. Mowers in the lake??? Dont your guys know that you aint supposed to go fishin with the lawn mower?? The grass is growing again, so it is the perfect time for everything to break, lol.

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

Oh, here is a quick pic of my rig all loaded and ready to go.

[Team-Green L&L]

This hasn't been the best season for us and I'd like to pick up some more properties on a subcontracting basis. I would be happy to sign a non-compete agreement for all properties I maintenance to erase any concerns. Please PM me .

Tom, when did u pick up the Whelen Edge?

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

Ronnie, I got that in early July. Paid 350 bucks for it. Got corner strobes in it, 4 flashers (2 front 2 back), and alley take downs. You need to gimme a call sometime. We need to hang out, maybe grab a few cold ones::drinkup: :drinkup:

[RhinoL&L]

Hey guys. My lawns are starting to look brown again. How are all of you guys doing?
Shawn

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

I hear ya Shawn, the brown round is making a come back again:cry: :dizzy: Just getting ready to make a website and do some more advertising.

Ronnie, what have you been up to?? I figure you fell off the face of the earth or something:laugh: Havent heard from you in a good while. Gimme a shout here soon, I wanna know where or who did your flyers and postcards.

[jpp]

SAme here Tom and Shawn. Getting some rain and looks like some heavier stuff moving in. Doing invoicing now and will take a drive later on to check out the yards. My route that I do near Shawn looked real bad on Friday. Scheduled for Monday but that is going to be push back to maybe Thursday or Friday.

JP

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

Getting a little rain here now too. Most of them got fertilized a week or so ago, so this rain will help soak it in and green em up, hopefully. It is a real nice slow steady rain that will soak in and not just run off. Went and looked at a new lawn today, yes I know its sunday but w/e. It is really overgrown, their landscaper just stopped showing up about a month ago and never called. They paid their bill on time, but he just quit. So I will get some pics of before and after. It is roughly 15 inches tall in some spots, others maybe 6-7 inches. So now I will really get to see what my Tiger Cub is made of!!:)

[RhinoL&L]

I am getting some rain here right now. Hopefully we will get a slow steady rain for the rest of the day. Tom, how do you like your tiger cub? I know that will be one of the things on the list for next year, not sure if i will get one or not but hopefully!
shawn

It isnt a new one, but I love it!!!!!!!! On the lawns I use it at now, they go by sooooo much quicker. Especially at the apartment complex I do. Kinda sucked with a belt W/B. You cant go wrong with Scag, they are built like brick sh*t houses and will last you a very long time. If you have anymore questions about Scag, just ask and I will try to help you.

Hi guys, it is nasty outside that is for sure.Heat index of 102 outside right now and they issued this a little bit ago. Josh how bad is it in Cincy. I know it can get real bad down there especially in the downtown area. I think you guys are under a heat warning if I heard right. Stay cool everyone and drink lots of fluids. with this heat the grass won't be doing to much that is for sure. Except for browning out.

Nope Shawn, I am not laughing. If it was not as hot and humid I might be chuckling but this is some dangerous heat and humidity that we have right now. I have the a/c on in between the yards to help cool down. You need to take care of yourself after the practices and not worry to much about your yards right now. Do a few a day until it cools down. Calling for it to be in the 90's until the middle of August. I think once the yards are cut they will be going dormant again. Most of them are green right now but wait until next week.

[Drew Gemma]

yes you collect sales tax on the end user of the good or service. unless they are non profit. or exempt and some forrestry and other indusrties are exempt follow the guidelines pick you nacics code and it will tell you.

[Sydenstricker Landscaping]

Thanks Drew and JP:waving: I do already have my service vendors license and have been collecting and paying sales tax. It was another guy who owns an lco that hates me and tries his best to piss me off or put me down in any way he can. He said you dont charge sales tax on grass cutting or snow removal. He told me he doesnt, just on everything else. But thanks again guys!!

[jpp]

Tom I hope you printed that stuff off from that link and handed it to him. I hope he was just messing with you and is collecting the tax himself. How much rain did you guys get up there today? We had a downpour today and Just kept on cutting. It gave me a bath and cleaned the sweat and dirt off of me. Then the sun came back out and it got even nastier than it was before the rain.
