Jack D. Increases Your Mow & Blow Efficiency By 25%

[Jack D.]

Jack D. instructs members to trim and edge weekly mowing accounts every second week. All edging is to be done w/trimmer.

Jack D. personally guarantees that customers will not notice that their prop. is being trimmed every second week; 90% of customers notice only that their prop. was cut on the scheduled day and that it looks neat.

Good Luck.

"edging" with a string trimmer is gay.

[GeeVee]

Well, that might be true with whatever grass or turf type you have to deal with. Not so with St Augustine...

[MASTERMOWER]

If I could get away with that I would, but unfortunetly most my clients have upscale properties and notice the trimming and edging as well.

geevee, you beat me to it. If i did this I'd be out of a job the next week. I think there are more lawn cares than there are lawns in Florida.

I think you have to "high-top" each week, but I agree with Jack that you can hard edge every other week, after you have the edge anyway very little comes off.
String trimmer edge IS gay...it's for the class of people that work out of their cars, or maybe buy a flower from a Mexican on the street for their girlfriend. It just shows a lack of proper gear and the knowledge to do a proper job, it just reflects poorly on the operator.

[Jack D.]

An experienced operator can edge quicker and just as crisp w/a string trimmer.

An edger is a Landscaper's tool and is not needed by a Professional Mow & Blow Operator.

As a Semi-Retired High Class Scrub, Jack D. has basically eliminated all trimming from Jack D.'s remaining props..

Jack D. prefers Pure Mowing for hobby, exercise and the pursuit of the ultimate tan.

Good Luck.
