Best advice on tools I would say is buy Stihl tools. When they break you can get the parts easily and fix them. New is good obviously but they don’t stay new for long good secondhand ones are often just as good.

Hi Brad, great video. I’m advice regarding employment. Get your company policies in place before you hire so new employees can agree to them. That should solve a lot of agro because if the employee does follow company policies just run them down the disciplinary route until fired. If you have a genuine employee that just makes a mistake here and there put in some systems and processes to get the job done the way you want it done. Example; if you have supplied a van and want them to look after it. So it’s looked after the way you want it looked after give them a weekly check sheet to complete each week. Hope this is helpful.

Great video! Came for the scarifying video, stayed for the channel! I started out last year age 20 with a 40 quid car boot lawn mower, 50 quid car boot stihl leaf blower and splashed out 300 for a new stihl strimmer. I started mid season so my phone didn't ring off the hook but I got more calls then I expected. This year has been great so far i've already more than doubled my regular maintenance jobs. Loving life, I wouldn't want it any other way. The missus works as an accountant in a dark office which she loves but personally I'd rather shit in me hands and clap lol. There's something about being your own boss and working outdoors where it barely even feels like 'work'. Honestly watching this makes me want to start my own channel on it🤠

Nice to hear your story Brad! I missed your Q+A Brad. Here is one for you. What height settings do you find best on your HRD536 for laying down the best, tidy stripes? Do you set front and back the same or do you have the front lower? Thanks in advance.
@Grasscutplus
5 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment mate! Ummm that’s a tricky one as it depends on the height the customer likes it at best! But I’ve found that is you have the front nose dipped one lower then the back it dose stripe up a lot nicer. Hope that helps mate!

Great and informative video Brad 👍.. I don’t do Instagram ( too old 😂) but wanted to ask you about the “type” of advertising that you found worked best for your business? I started my garden maintenance business 18 months ago and whilst I have enough clients at the moment I would like to grow the business more. I have a FB page which has had limited success and also delivered “flyers” ( which had zero success 🤷♂️). Thanks again

@@Grasscutplus Thanks for this, was just coming to ask the same thing. Do you have anything you would recomend for new starters? I've heard that trust a trader goes by pre-existing reviews so might be difficult for me to get approved as I'm not on google or anything like that. Started last year and gained a few customers, but all from leaflets and word of mouth.
