Risking it ALL | Starting a Garden Cleanup without PERMISSION!

This job came through on a Sunday afternoon and after speaking with the tenant he explained that the cleanup needed to be completed by the following Tuesday (2 days away) as he had a rental inspection coming up. I said that i'd drop past in the morning, have a look and do a quote. When I got there, the property needed much more work than expected. When I rang the customer to discuss the situation, he didn't answer his phone as he was on a flight to another city. My offer was pretty simple, I do a full yard cleanup, and only charge for green waste removal. After he didn't answer his cell phone, I was then left with 2 options - 1. Wait for his response, but potentially run out of time to complete the transformation. 2. Start the cleanup and hope for the best. Having said that, I was pretty sure he would be happy with my offer, so I began the job and hoped for the best. As you can see, the video is up running and the customer was happy, giving me a 5-star review! All up, I spent around 11 hours on this job, with 2 trips to the landfill.

General enquiries: [email protected] Business enquiries: [email protected] ___________________________________________________ FAQ's: Q: Where are you located? A: I am from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 🦘. Q: Do you worry about snakes? A: I have never even seen a snake in over 5 years on the job. Q: Which equipment do you use? A: Mostly STIHL power equipment (battery and petrol) and commercial Honda self-propelled mowers. Q: How much do the jobs cost? A: Sorry, I prefer not to talk about costs. Q: Why don't you use tarps instead of bins? A: Tarps are too difficult to move through small spaces and lift into the trailer. The same for wheelbarrows, they are only good for unloading the trailer! Q: Why are the hot water cylinders outside? A: I would say it's because Australia had a temperate to tropical climate, and therefore it doesn't matter that much if they are outdoors. To me, though, it seems a bit inefficient to have them outside in Tasmania with a temperate climate (coldish for 3 - 4 months per year). But that is industry standard down here 🤷‍♂️. Q: Why don't you have help? A: I've had many problems with employees in the past, so now I work alone. Q: Why don't you have a ride-on mower? A: Well, there are a few reasons. 1. I don't have the right trailer for a ride on, considering I always take away the green waste. 2. I don't have anywhere to store it, as my shed is too small. 3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can't actually get a ride-on on to the properties. 4. I don't do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k AUD on a stander, but it would be nice to have one! 5. I will get one as soon as my transport and storage problems are solved. Q: What types of ladders do you use? A: The large one is a Gorilla Adjustable Platform 150kg and the small one is a Gorilla Mighty 19. They are both adjustable. Q: Who/what is Jim's Mowing? A: Jim's Mowing is a franchise business. The Jim's Group is the biggest home services franchise in Australia. Q: Why do you have 2 channels that seem the same? A: Quick Cuts (my original channel) has music in the background. Quick Cuts V2 is for those that like just machine noise, and it doesn't have music.
