Stereotypes: Landscape Employees

So for today, in the notes, it's saying for this strip, and then to the end of the tree, we do this strip as well.

All right, no problem. Be real quick.

Look at.

Look at yours.

Look at mine.

No, no, I got this. Trust me. I know my equipment. I got this. You know, just push the bush a little to the side. I got this. I know what I'm doing. Okay.

All right, so we're a little bit. A little bit behind today, so we got, like, 20 minutes to get this knocked out. All right, so I'll start raking, and then you pick up the P up behind me.

Where the heck is Austin? In.

Oh, yeah. Yes, sir. I'm gonna be the fancy champion this year.

Dude, we have, like, five minutes left on this job. What are you doing?

Well, I just got Lamar Jackson, so.

Yeah, sorry.

Dude. We were 10 minutes over on that one. We got to be quicker next time, dude.

But I was able to get Lamar Jackson, though.

Like, Lamar Jackson. Yeah. How about Von Miller?

So, at my old company, we would go clockwise around the perimeter for the growing patterns on the grass. All right?

Okay.

All right. All right. Sounds like a plan.

We never go in toward the building from the street. So instead of going that way, we always do lines this way. Okay.

Okay.

It helps with the drainage for the grass as well. So, yeah, we. I mean, we don't want this just to turn into a swamp out here. Right? So, yeah, lines go this way. All right.

Okay.

All right.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Yes. What side of the truck do you drive from? Left. Left. Yeah, exactly. So, yeah, my old company, we always put the lock on the right side so that you would be less likely to lose control. You steer on the left, lock on the right.

No, faster.

On my old company, we did the weed eater on bottom and edger in the middle, so the weight is evenly distributed on the rack. All right, so why don't you work.

For your old company anymore?

Well. Well, I got fired, but I. I knew more than my boss there, and I think he was kind of a little bit scared. So, you know, I just. You know, I. I just did a lot better work than a lot of the guys there and knew more than most of them, so, yeah, they let me go.

Hey, it's locked.

All right, well, this is our leftover rock. So if you just want to load that up, I'll get the tools.

All right. Sounds good.

You were, like, six feet away.

What are you thinking? We have machines for a reason. People wear out. Machines don't. Are we ready to rock and roll? Tomorrow.

All right, so all we need is one more bucket of filter and I think we're ready to roll to our client's house. So I'll do this. You want to get the truck?

Truck sounds good. Cool.

Is that good or you want one more?

I don't care. Just get it in the truck.

All right, one more set.

Here we go.

Yeah.

Try to blast my dorsals and my lats before work. Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to click the weights. Just trying to get a pump in. Yes.

Woo.

All right, so we got it. Paver job for Jonathan today. So I'll go grab the loader and.

Yeah, that's why I took my pre workout.

Come on, man.

Dude, come on. Where's the workout?

So for today we have some trimming and weeding to do for both areas, front and back.

I think I'm probably.

I think I'll probably start with the trimming. Yeah, yeah, I'll probably just start trimming and kind of see how that goes. If I think it'll give me faster the other way, I'll probably start doing some bleeding after. Okay.

Hey, Austin.

So do you think it should start with this trimming where. Where it's pretty nice and tight? We're just doing a little bit. Or should I start up there where it's, you know, a little bit longer and then there's more to cut off?

Whatever you think's best.

Yeah, I'll probably just keep going on this one then for now. All right, then.

There you go.

All right. Thank. Thank.

You.

Hey.

So for. For this bed right here, do you think I should use a hula hoe to kind of pull the weeds up first or should I just pull out with my hands.

Hula hose? Probably a little quicker. I.

You know, I really probably should use the hula ho, I think.

Dude, are you serious?

What?

I was able to finish all the boats that we're supposed to be working on today in the time period you've been here.

Oh, yeah, that looks pretty good. I just didn't know whether it'd be faster picked by hand or use a hoo hoo. But.

But yeah, I mean, the important thing is that the customer's happy, right? All right, so they got pretty poor drainage here going back to that compost pile. So yeah, we'll just get this kind of graded out to begin with and take it from there. All right.

Say no more.

It.

Where's the personal touch, man?

All right, man.

Good work today. Good work. I got one last pile. I'm gonna put it in the Bin and take it right over that little hill there.

All right, Sweet. Good work.

Apparently blowers are outdated now.

Alrighty. I got Fletcher job today. Looks like just a core aeration. Did it Note say Aerator 1 or Aerator 2?

Those tires are the same size.

All right, I'm just gonna give the project manager a call second. Just make sure everybody's on the same page.

Hey, it's Brad. I was just loading up for that Fletcher aeration, but I was thinking, do you just want me to bring the thatcher and the sod cutter as well? In the team meeting, you kind of talked about upselling a bit, so maybe should I just load those up and. You know, maybe you want to give them a call and see if they want to thatch it and side cutting too. Thanks.

Nope, nope, nope, nope. Just bring the aerator. I appreciate you trying to do the upsell, but let's just. Let's just stick to the job notes, okay?

All right. All right. Yep. All right, fine. I'll just do the aerator. All right. Think like an owner. Get more business for the company.

All right, we gotta hook up to the dump trailer. You wanna just back me in? Co.

You actually want to do DT1 instead? Just. We have using wild to be sure everything's cranking up.

Yeah, okay. Yeah, sure, sure.

Yeah, whatever.

What? What?

Fit most of the material in the dt, so just in case the client wants more, let's just take the ma. You know, the max load capacity.

Okay. Yep, yep.

What?

So the job notes actually say DT2, so we should probably just stick with that so that, you know, just in case Mike needs this or something. You know.

If you just would have read the job notes on DT2 in the first place.
