    Here you go Geoff...some of a new commercial job we picked up. Photos don't show just how much green waste came off. Two very full trailer loads to the tip. Lots of dead branches on the council trees we trimmed up for them. The Council lazy sods had not mowed it due to all the low hanging foliage. The owner rang them and they said we only do it 3 times a year so do it yourself. He did rang us and we were happy to help. It is a brand new building so picked up all the ongoing maintenance there as a result.

    How did you tackle it ? and how many times did you have to stop to empty the catcher lol
    The sides of the house weren't so bad so it was one pass without the catcher,edge,rake then another pas with the catcher.
    Same out the back but I knocked the taller stuff down with the brushie before mowing.

    Nice work Courty and Bluey!

    I loved doing those feral cleanups. They were hard work but you charge accordingly and get a lot of satisfaction out of it very quickly.

    Good work there Zoran....and Geoff is right. I always check out the water meter before I ws around them. Got caught once and had to get a plumber in to fix it.

    Yep, been there and alsmost done that, but the fella that we were doing the first mow for come out as we were 5 minutes into job asking who was gunna pay for that. Tried to be reasonable with him (quite a big fella) and explain that it wasnt done with whippy cord, to which he would not listen so I just had to let my offsider have the last say (ex bouncer /wrestler) Take a good look around - you will learn from what many places look like!!
