Q&As
As a landscape professional I am used to answering lots of questions about lawn care. And over time I began to notice that many of the questions repeated over and over. Clearly, those questions represented pain points. So I assembled them into one file and I suspect there will be more coming out later.
That’s how my humble eBook was born: Vas on Grass: 33 lawn care questions answered buy a landscape professional. It’s now available for sale in pdf format. Click here. If you are unemployed, low-income or Proper landscaping client, please message me for a free e-mailed pdf copy.
One example
Here’s one question covered in the book. “Does it bother you if grass clippings are blown into the road? Why?“
Does it ever! First of all, it looks awful. Now, I know from experience that some days are frustratingly windy and complete control over your clippings is impossible. But on most days you should be able to blow the clippings back onto your lawn, away from the road. Just make sure you don’t smoked by a passing car. Stay close to the curb.
Second, every year cyclists and motorcyclists die when they lose traction on grass debris. In one example from the United States, a female motorcyclist saw her husband go down in front of her. Sadly, the man didn’t survive. That’s just awful.
Big ride-on mowers often cut grass without catchers so it’s critical that the grass be directed back into the lawn, not on the road when the edge is getting cut. Imagine being responsible for someone’s death.
Lastly, I must mention the cheaters who show up in the dark to blow debris from their site across the road to my side. I maintain commercial buildings in Coquitlam and I see them do it; they push grass and leaves across the road so it becomes my problem; and they avoid paying for green waste. It’s sloppy work that leaves the road in disarray.
