I feel like I actually learned something in this video. I love that you told me the why of how you do it and not just “oh this is what you should do.” Keep up the great work 👍🏻

running a zero turn for a company that mostly has buisnesses and rent controlled housing flats it is hypnotic watching you lawncare guys do your thing<br><br>also i use a stihl fs491 with a harnas, i still have the shield on but i took the little blade off, and run the wire about a fist longer than the shield

For any lawn care service, as a paying customer, It’s annoying to find areas not cut or trimmed properly, as in leaving weeds and/or taller grasses in spots. There is a price for service and I have expectations for that same service & price. A thorough job is all that’s required and it is totally appreciated.

I spend extra time blowing the edges out if needed. I’ve been doing this since I started my business 5 years ago. I have had numerous people comment on how good the edges look, then become customers because of it. Those nice clean edges make the difference between a decent looking lawn and a phenomenal looking lawn.

Im with you on the gaurd, there is a sweet spot on my fs91 with string length. And the spark screen is the first thing i take out, after a month its full of oil residue, and doesn't start on first pull. And if sparks are comingnout ofnthe muffle its time for a new trimmer... there not built to run forever

As a homeowner only, I edge or trim first before mowing. One week I edge, next time I trim, never both at same time (Not Needed).<br>Also, I always use a funnel with a screen, to keep dirt out.
