Blower Techniques/ Control

[goodgreen]

Good comment somebody made about not causing damage. Those decorative garden balls are fairly light weight and will flip right off the base if you hit it with forceful air. I had an assistant that blew one off and it broke into a million pieces.

I bet you made him count each piece as he was superglueing it together!
Some of those balls are 40 or 50 bucks, not very expensive but it will negate any money you make on that property for a week if you smoke one.

I've even blow up that crack seal stuff on driveways, but my thinking is that if I can blow it up with a blower by accident it's not really my fault....it has failed.

Darryl-
I hear ya on that! I have a decent size parking lot at a place that I do about every week, and they paid someone good money last year to seal all the cracks (and there are a ton of them). I am having to be careful this year with not blowing the crack sealer out of the cracks. Most of it comes up with the blower on idle even. Definately not my fault. I've pointed it out to them, and they just say "oh well, it's an old lot, but at least it's better than it was", so I guess they don't figure it to be my fault either.

And here is the proof of where the leaves have gone for 5 years on this site. Caught up with us when we had to trim the bushes and CLEAN up the leaves.

I see a few blades of grass in the "lawn"...better hit them with Roundup!

you mean that one little weed right As you might have noticed this is a duplex and tenants just don't care. I will be installing an irrigation system and putting in zoysia when it gets a little cooler.

Yeah I see a few disappeared...not sure why...didn't see anything offensive.

That's where I dump all the hedge clippings....if I even pick them up.
