Good to see you guys back on YouTube. Nice job…
I don't know how I'd feel if I was the homeowner and had pallets and fence guys tearing up freshly laid sod… wouldn't it have made more sense to get the fence guys in there first?
What exam do you need to take to become a landscape contractor in your state?
What kind of sod is that thats not folded or rolled? I've never seen it like that before.
Looked like a fun project! I love the fact that you took the time to move those pallets for the fence guys. I would’ve done the same thing. Something so little for you to do since you are already there, but makes their lives way easier! Keep up the great work as always 💪🏼
Im pretty jealous that your sod isn't breaking into a million pieces. We never get sod that seems to hold together.
My favorite landscape you tuber no bragging on and on or preaching just straight up good work! What is the price for that type of work that size? You price per square foot?
That was awesome. Don’t think I have seen pallets of sod like that. Usually rolled up but probably lays a lot flatter that way.
Does putting skids of sod and fence material on freshly laid sod risk flattening or sliding the newly installed sod? I would think very heavy skids on the new sod would at least cause divots. When I had my sod installed the landscaper didn’t even want me walking on it for at least 2 weeks.
I’ve been on both sides! My dad owns a fence company and I’ve done a lot of fences with them, it was very nice of you to help them out with that. PVC fence is my least favorite, same with trying to clean up chain link!
I can’t believe you guys are still in business with the way you install sod… everyone knows it goes brown side up… you are fired!
Hey man I work with lawn & Order in ofallon IL see you guys all the time
How in the heck did you get three pallets of sod onto a one ton Chevy!? I watched on my phone, an I wrong about the truck or the number of pallets?
We only get sod in pieces like that, Bahia and St Augustine don't come in rolls around here and in thankful. Muck grown sod is heavy enough
Nice work, as always
What do you charge a room of sod?
How long did it take yall to lay the 12 pallets. We have a 12 pallet job coming up in 2 weeks.
I bet the fence guys loved you. Imagine if you weren’t there, they’d have to haul that by hand to the back.
hello Alex I want to say first love the channel I've been watching your videos for about 2 years. I just started my landscape business with the help of my dad I want to ask how much do you charge per pallet (Bermuda because it's most common)?
