Have you lived here for awhile? Then you'll probably agree with us on most, if not all of these. Or maybe they're just our pet peeves.Binge watch all of ou...

WE GOT A QUESTION FROM A VIEWER WE'D LIKE TO SHARE HERE:


Great video!
Thoughts. Do you feel the self propelled feature is necessary for a courtyard villa sized yard?
I’m shopping for a mower now.

Kenny, that's what I thought, and bought a non-self-propelled mower. After 3 weeks I returned it.

1 - The grass is taller now and pushing anything through it is miserable. Even pushing the spreader through the tall grass is harder than you'd think.
2 - The humidity was just killing me.

You might be up to the task now, but as you age you won't be. The extra $100 is absolutely worth it.

I just noticed that this one is on sale, normally $750, and it's $599 right now. Mine is a 21" and this one is 25".

The least expensive one that I could suggest is this one - it's 21" and is 80v - ours is 60v - it's $509

I would not suggest getting any mower with less than 60v batteries. We have 20v for the tools and they only make it for 2 weeks of work. You need POWER for that grass.

Good luck buddy.

The Greenworks 80V 21-Inch Brushless Lawn Mower is a powerful and convenient tool for maintaining a beautiful lawn. This self-propelled mower boasts up to 45 minutes of run time and features a 3-in-1 function that allows for mulching, rear bagging, and side discharge. With a simple push-button st...

Devil's Tower was only going to be a "drive by", but we decided on the fly to make it a destination - we heard that it was a better destination than we thought it was - and it turned out to be better than we'd heard. The drive was another thing - way longer than we expected, but at least we had a Harvest Host winery waiting for us at the end of it.

Speaking of doing lawns.....

On September 10th 2023, 2 years ago, we e-biked from Hammock at Fenney to Sawgrass Grove for the first time going over the Southern Oaks Bridge instead of the Waterlily Bridge - saving us at least 1/2 the time.

It's the normal route now, and the golf courses and St Tropez Rec Center are open, but back then in 2023 the Southern Oaks Bridge had just opened up.

We e-bike from Hammock at Fenney and ride across the brand new Southern Oaks Bridge. The old way would have been 45 minutes by golf cart - this new way will...

We are so blessed by all the comments on Facebook and YouTube by people helped by our last video. People are putting down peat moss, asking further questions, sending the info to their friends and everyone so happy to know what was causing their grass to die.

It's gonna be great next summer when we see all those lush green lawns! 😄

This is a preview of next Sunday's video. We're on the way to Montana [Glacier National Park] but we have to stop at Devil's Tower - and we hike all around it - magnificent! After practicing my drone work for the past 3 weeks on the road - the pay off - some of our best footage.

When we found out what was causing our lawn to die it was shocking. It was also shocking to find out that our gardener was allowing it to happen. When I found out what the cure was, and how easy it would be for me to fix the problem, I got right on it. A year later and our lawns are looking great. Now we share the secrets with you.
