    I subscribe to the US Lawn and Garden mag's online for free. Over in America there are many companies with 100's of staff, it is a huge industry over there. Problem is many states it snows in so they have to get into the snow business as well.

    And the leaf vacuuming in autumn. If we payed the sort of home loan rates they do over there ,we would probably see a lot more aussies with properties that size and the disposable income to get it maintained.

    I like the way they operate over there, would you like to upsize that order?

    I can pretty well guarantee that's not in the Cairns area, unless it's private property which I highly doubt, 'cause the council boys here wouldn't know what a catcher is!!! Went past one of the parks today and you could see where the operator would of had a big Oh Oh moment going by the big slide marks on the slope.

    That portion of the lawn, about 20 mins.

    Its one of my jobs on the Gold Coast. No catcher but grass wasn't out of control. Quick fan of some clippings was all that was needed.

    But I didn't post it for any of that. Only that there are stripes, like they love on Lawnsite.
