Pictures of my accounts from the plane.

[SchultzLawnCare]

Here are some pictures of a few of my accounts. I had to mow in downpour so you can see some clumping in quite a few spots on the ones house. I decided to take pictures of the best striping ones. Here they are.. enjoy.

[Raven386]

[SchultzLawnCare]

[srl28]

Idk, you can see a few spots you missed on the trimming. Just kiddin! Looks awesome. Nice work! Unless I missed the explanation somewhere I assume you fly as a hobby?

[SchultzLawnCare]

[SchultzLawnCare]

ill get you some pictures when i pull it out of the hanger.. i think im going over there today so ill try and get some up this evening still.

[Paul's LC]

Man! it looks like the addition of hydroseeding to your services really rolled in the green. I'm jealous, maybe if I expand my service list to more services I maybe, just maybe, will be as successful as you Nick Schultz!!! Post the company jet pics, I really wanna see it!

[ohiogreenworks]

Looks amazing! I've thought it would be cool to take some aerial pics of some of our places. :cool2:

[slamjamrockinman]

Dude that's awesome!! What kind of plane do you fly in and where do you take off? I have been up a few times with my brother and really enjoy it.

[fastcat]

he is just tied to a really big kite

[White Gardens]

Don't tell Topsites that you have a Jet.

He might go on a rant how LCO's can't and won't make that much money in the Green Industry.:laugh:

If you've got that type of volume business, how do you keep it all together and still have excellent quality?? Do you have a dungeon or whip somewhere ??

[Mckenzie's Maintenance]

yeah that is very good work....nice pics and....a nice house there by the way whosever it is...

[Paul's LC]

bump!!!!!!

[rusty_keg_3]

Wow, thats sweet!!!!!

[borwicks]

That rocks. You guys should use that for some advertising like "are yards look good from the sky"

[dwost]

Dude, that's sick! Looks awesome!

[RedMax Man]

very nice work and bird's eye view.

would be good for any type of advertising. its unique.
also sell the pics to your clients or give em if your kind enough haha

[SchultzLawnCare]

Thanks everyone!! i will get the pictures of the jet up ASAP im off to bed, gotta work tomorrow. night!!

[Az Gardener]

I hope you are writing off a portion of that plane, It is clearly used for business.

[Stillwater]

Hey gardens, topsites would be more than 1/2 right, not to many lawn care co's can support a jet, My bell was bought with lottery money.

[CampbellLawnCare]

thats crazy, get a huge pull behind banner and advertise like they do at the beach!!

[SchultzLawnCare]

thats crazy, get a huge pull behind banner and advertise like they do at the beach!!

haha thats a wonderful idea!!!

[Stillwater]

Major no fly zone in my neighborhood this week ohbammies in town. No flight operations within 30 miles unless you have a FAA wavier and pass a TSA security background check. So no banners for the kenyon with special messages just for him.

[White Gardens]

Ya, I'm not saying that every LCO will make it big, but it can happen. Topsites cynicism makes you think nobody can though. That's fine, it just seems that is his persona.

[Lawn Enforcer]

Excellent pics! How's lawn season been for you up nort?

[Stillwater]

Yes you can that is why I never posted negative crap about it their is another guy lives near me who has a plane and a landscaping business in town but he is also a land developer... It is big money to maintain and store and move aircraft. The last thing I would ever do though is do flyovers of customers houses and post them on the internet

Is it really a big deal though, you can look at properties with Google earth pretty easily now.

[whoopassonthebluegrass]

The last thing I would ever do though is do flyovers of customers houses and post them on the internet

Pssshhhht. Why? because Google already did it?

[Stillwater]

Why? that is a stupid question, Disrespectful, a incomplete list of residents who may or may not have landscaping or employ high end property maintenance companies, think about it DUH.... some of these jobs come only by word of mouth and a clear track record of protecting their interests. Do fly overs and post the pictures on the net of the following and you will not be working for them for very long or anyone else.....not to mention the shattering of a confidentiality agreement.

.......I edited out the list............

Please don't miss understand the post, I am not saying it is wrong to do this, I am saying it would be a bad decision for "me" to do it.

[MarcSmith]

Minnesota's a big state, Id bet most people would not even know where the houses are located. But I'd bet you could make a pretty $$$$ taking pics of some of those houses and reselling back to the Clients. or better yet. take a nice pic. glossy it all up....and send it as Chistmas gift...Thanks for being my customer. Heres' I pic took of your house...

Iknow many of the wealthier folks would like those photos...

Shame no large trees..

Oh ya, I agree, there is an ethical and a civic duty involved with posting pictures of properties. It's just unfortunate the line has been blurred by satellite services.

agreed and blurred also by the zillow web site. Go to zillow.com and type an address in the box....

[MarcSmith]

one thing to post a picture of a property (big F-ing deal), but yet another to post the address/location. even then.. not a huge deal.

[Stillwater]

No big F-in deal to you smith in your smaller world of georgetown, try not to be so closed minded. Why do you sound angry? what made you have a hostile attitude? It is clear you don't understand what my posts are saying, and your attitude sounds like you would not be capable of abiding by a confidentiality agreement or a spoken agreement with a handshake. Reasonable people have respect for other peoples views. Seriously their is no reason to be angry we are talking about pictures and aircraft hear. The banner and photography ideas are great. But they can't work for me is that a reason to sound angry, You aparently are takeing my posts as an attack on these Ideas that coulden't be more wrong.....

[TLC_Lawns_TN]

Heck yeah, bro! That's some good-lookin' work! And a darn good idea, too...takin' the aerial photos of your accounts. I'm a pilot myself but never really thought about doing that. DURRRR! My grandpa is a pilot as well and he used to make some extra dough by taking aerial pics of hunting acreage and farm property in Western KY for folks who were willing to pay a pretty penny for them...he always had people asking him if they could buy some aerial pics of their spread! Hmmm...perhaps some potential supplemental income?! PS -- post some pics of the plane!

[MarcSmith]

Still.

talk about being hostile....Wow. all I said BFD---
No hostility here...Honest
A picture without a name or a location could be anywhere on the planet... A picture with no name and no location tells the person looking at the picture, nothing.. It could be just a pretty picture.

A picture with an address, a bit creepy yes, but still it's nothing that can't be gotten for free driving around.

A pic with address and home value. a bit of intrusion, but nothing that can't gotten at the county records office if one was so inclined.


I've been the industry about as long as you have...I have worked for some rather large corporations, Disney, Trugreen, Valley Crest. With these companies have had access to places in which I needed and got Federal security clearance. Employee manuals the size of small phone books, confidentiality agreement, noncompete clauses, ect.

I have also worked at my own biz which did quite well. in all my contracts there was a line which allowed me to take and publish photos of properties including but not limited to advertising, before/after, portfolio pics, websites, ect. My one self imposed restriction was that I would not post house numbers or street names. If a client wished to not have photos taken, all they did was cross out that line and initial it..

handshake deals. You bet... If you trust the person you are shaking hands with no problems.. Contracts are only worth he paper they are written on. But I always had, em typed words never forget. And my Clients never had problems signing neither did I...

I would have loved to had some overhead pics of my sites I maintained. And if I had the ability, and the $$$ i would have.

My panties aren't wadded up. I'm all good at my 114 acre kingdom...

i brought it up the my customers and they were excited and wanted me to do it... whats so bad about it?

if youre thinking that smith has an attitude problem, you might wanna think about that one more time. because youre the one that came on here trying to pick a fight saying "it not ethical" "it voids privacy" you could have drove around and looked at these houses from the road, do you think it is invasion of privacy? any other picture on this sight would be invasion of privacy also. Think about it. What is the big deal--- nothing!!! no, im not angry. i jsut think that you are worried about the little things too much. and im not trying to pick a fight. im posting my opinion, in which most people looking at these pictures (any pictures for that matter) would agree with. Its not a big deal man, just settle down...

[Gregg1987]

A company plane...? :dizzy:

That's awesome! Congrats on your hard work paying off! I wish you the best of luck with that in the future to come!


Your plane have a company logo on it? haha

[Paul's LC]

hey nick how can you bus afford a 100,000+ plane when you have at most 2 crews out with your 2 dodges?? post pics of it so we know youre not bluffing us.

[Paul's LC]

[Paul's LC]

I was speaking about myself I was not speaking about you...

[pitrack]

Can I ask why your company has a jet? Just curious.

[SchultzLawnCare]

alright.. jokes over.. Paul from Pauls LC told me to say i have a company jet. but really it was just a friends plane we were in.. still pretty sweet. sorry if you guys actually believed me.. you can thank paul. Thanks everyone for the compliments tho!

[fastcat]

i knew it was a kite string in that pic

[SchultzLawnCare]

i knew it was a kite string in that pic

haha yep. i just didnt wanna admit it. good eye!! :D

[Gregg1987]

lol aww i was like damn that's the bomb :laugh:

[Paul's LC]

now no one will ever believe anything i say on lawnsite again. dangit!

[MarcSmith]

now the truth is coming out, here is how the pic was really taken....:)

[SchultzLawnCare]

now the truth is coming out, here is how the pic was really taken....:)

thats a wonderful idea!! but its was in a friends airplane

[DoetschOutdoor]

Have any of you guys ever priced a plane???? They are not all $100,000+, not even close. You can pick up some nice older planes for the same price as alot of new trucks. Had a neighbor in GA that had 2 nice little planes and the guy made chicken scratch. Have a customer now that is always trying to get me to go flying with him and i know dam well he didnt spend anywhere near what some ppl on here think a plane costs.

[MarcSmith]

you can get a nice used mooney for under 50k... the key is the upkeep and storage...

[JosephLawnCare]

so wheres the plane pic?

[Paul's LC]

so wheres the plane pic?

youre kidding right?:dancing:

[Disgruntled_Veteran]

now the truth is coming out, here is how the pic was really taken....:)

Now thats funny LOL

My friend was going to go purchase a plane with 2 other guys. the Storage, maintenance and yearly Inspection alone was about $10,000 a year he said.
