Back out cutting again, and the season is in full swing. I’m running the 36” Greenworks Commercial Optimus stand-on zero turn — one of my favorite machines. But there’s one problem… no grass flap. Here in the Ozarks, rocks are everywhere. When you’re mowing around really nice homes, that adds a little anxiety because one stray rock can cause problems fast. Stay tuned — I’ll be installing the new grass flap for the 36” Optimus soon. Get your GrassFlap here https://grassflap.com

This video is a full start-to-finish cut at one of our most recognizable properties on the channel, the Peacock House. What makes this one different is the camera angle. Every property we service has at least one camera rolling on the mower at all times. It’s part of how we protect ourselves and document our work, no matter where we’re mowing or what we’re doing. This footage is pulled directly from the mower’s security camera, giving you a true POV of the job as it happens. No handheld shots, no talking, just the real view from the seat. This was filmed last summer, just before fall, while running the Greenworks Commercial Optimus Z zero-turn. Normally our POV camera sits higher or farther out, but for this job we tested a lower, tighter mounting position just to see how it worked. This video shows the entire mow from start to finish on a property most viewers already know well. If you’ve ever wondered what a full cut looks like from the mower itself, this is it.

After a long day of work and my first full day using the Optimus ETO blower I still had to keep going when I got home. The leaves are constantly dropping, so I wanted to see how fast I could mulch and blow everything on my own yard. Some areas had leaves a foot to a foot and a half thick, but the combination of the ETO blower and the Grass Flap on my mower made short work of it. Mulched everything into dust and pushed the rest aside. The whole front yard took about 25 minutes, and no bagger was needed. The ETO blower + Grass Flap is hands down the best leaf-mulching setup I’ve tried. Get your GrassFlap Today https://grassflap.com/

Today Jessica and I are back at one of our main client properties for a full-service fall cleanup before winter hits. We handle everything for this place — mowing, soft washing the house, cleaning the gutters, washing the white picket fence, and keeping the whole property in shape all year. This time we brought out the XJet M5 to soft wash the house and get everything cleaned up for the season. Jessica jumped on the power washing because she loves doing it, and she handled the back patio while I finished mowing the yard and tightening everything up for winter. Simple job, solid results, and the property is ready for the cold months ahead. If you like this kind of work, stick around — more full-service days coming soon.

Today I’m checking out the brand-new Ryobi ZR3 80-Volt HP Brushless 42-inch Zero Turn Riding Mower — including my first impressions, bagger test, and how it performed on my yard. This video wasn’t planned — we didn’t have professional audio gear ready, so my wife grabbed the camera and we just filmed it raw. Still ended up great. What this mower is: The ZR3 is Ryobi’s newest 80-Volt HP brushless electric zero-turn mower, built for residential properties — designed to give serious mowing power without gas or engine maintenance.  • 42″ cutting deck with quick deck removal for service and washout.  • Up to ~2 acres of mowing per charge with the included two 80V 14Ah lithium batteries (actual spec from Ryobi announcements).  • 80-Volt HP brushless motors for strong torque and smooth power delivery.  • LCD display & app connectivity for runtime, speed, and battery info.  • Adjustable cutting height (1–4.5″).  • Bagger system with Bagger Boost for easier discharge clearing.  • Steering assist joystick + comfortable seat make it easy to operate.  Real-world take: I had a lot of fun firing this machine up and seeing how it handles under real conditions. This is a residential mower first and foremost — powerful, quiet, and dependable — and perfect for yards up to around 2 acres. I’ll be doing more testing this spring with longer runs, bagging heavy grass, and battery endurance. We had some mic issues here and there — but what we captured still tells the real story. Huge thanks to Ryobi for sending this ZR3 out — this thing is wicked fun, and I’m excited to dig in deeper soon. https://www.ryobitools.com/products/4... 👇 Drop your questions about this mower in the comments!

Big fall landscaping project in the Ozarks — getting this property back in order and looking amazing for the clients. Day One: Jessica and I tackled the overgrown front flowerbeds, cleared all the weeds, trimmed dozens of shrubs, and reshaped one of the biggest holly trees that had been overgrown for years. Everything was cut back and shaped to give the yard a clean, fresh start. Day Two: We were lucky enough to have the whole family join us. Piper and Hayden helped uncover a rock garden and all the plants that had been hidden under an overgrown tree. We used the Greenworks Commercial Pole Saw, the Greenworks Commercial Optimus short pole hedge trimmer, the Greenworks Commercial Optimus string trimmer, and the Greenworks Commercial Handheld Blower to get everything cleared, trimmed, and ready for next year. Leaves were everywhere — in some spots almost a foot deep — so it was a challenge getting the yard fully cleaned up. Jessica even took a spill during the cleanup, so it was definitely a team effort to get everything done safely. These clients are real sweethearts, and it felt great to help get their yard looking amazing for the season. Tools used: Greenworks Commercial Pole Saw Greenworks Commercial Optimus short pole hedge trimmer Greenworks Commercial Optimus string trimmer Greenworks Commercial Handheld Blower

Jessica and I start the day leaf blowing together before moving into the full cleanup as temperatures sit below 30 degrees and daylight starts to fade. This was our fifth property of the day, finishing out a long stretch of end of season cleanups. The work is done using the Greenworks Commercial OptimusZ 60 mower along with the ETO bagger system, which was out for its first real day of use. The focus here is simply on the process of clearing heavy leaves at a lake house property and wrapping up our final visit before win

Last Visit of the Year in the Ozarks | Quick Maintenance with the ETO Bagger & Blower Jessica and I are tackling one of our rental houses for the last maintenance visit of the year. Thanks to the all-new Greenworks Commercial ETO bagger, paired with the ETO blower (available spring 2026 — I’m lucky enough to have one of only seven in the country), this job is a total game-changer. What normally takes an hour now takes 15–20 minutes. Seriously. It literally cuts your time in half. I’m running the Optimus Z60 zero-turn with the ETO bagger on back and the ETO blower up front, while also using the Optimus 82V string trimmer and Greenworks Commercial edger to tighten everything up. Jessica is keeping the property clear with the all-new 82V ETO handheld blower, blowing leaves off fences, walkways, and flowerbeds. This is what efficient, all-electric, professional maintenance looks like here in the Ozark Mountains — fast, clean, and ready to move on to the next property.

This is our end-of-season cleanup at one of our favorite Ozark properties and our final visit of the year. The homeowner asked if we could take care of the gutters while we were there, so we handled the gutter cleaning along with the last leaf cleanup and final mow. Conditions weren’t easy. Winds were pushing 35–40 mph at times, which made mulching or blowing leaves pointless. Leaves were constantly moving and piling up in new spots. This is where the setup mattered. We ran the Greenworks Commercial OptimusZ zero-turn paired with the brand-new ETO bagger system, which made it possible to stay efficient and actually control the cleanup despite the wind. Bagging was the only way this job was getting done right. Jessica and I worked through the gutters, wrapped up the lawn, and cleared the property one last time before winter. A solid finish to the season and a good way to close out the year at a property we enjoy working on. As always, thanks for watching and following along with our Ozarks cleanups.

This video shows my first day on the job running the Greenworks Commercial ETO bagger system. I am using the Optimus Z 60 inch all electric zero turn with the brand new ETO bagger system during a full leaf cleanup at a lake house. Right away this setup proved itself. It cut my cleanup time by roughly fifty to seventy percent and picked up everything. Wind was blowing that day so in some areas leaves would blow back across sections I had already gone over which is just normal fall conditions. Even with that the bagger itself picked up everything every pass. The machine performed absolutely amazing. This is a fully all electric setup and paired with the Optimus Z zero turn it feels like the ultimate electric beast for leaf and grass collection. The mower with the bagger system and ETO blower mounted looks and works like a purpose built machine. There is a small learning curve when backing the mower into a trailer with the bagger attached. After doing it once and understanding the clearances it is no longer a big deal. The only downside I have found so far is that once the ETO blower is mounted you are locked into bagging only. You cannot mulch or switch configurations without removing it. Outside of that limitation everything about this system has been solid. First impressions from a full day of work are very strong. So far this setup is an easy ten out of ten. If you have questions about the Greenworks Commercial ETO bagger system drop them in the comments and I will help where I can.

In this video I am unboxing and testing the brand new Greenworks Commercial Optimus Z bagger system for the first time. This setup is fully all electric and paired with the Optimus Z zero turn along with the Greenworks Commercial ETL blower to create what is easily the ultimate all electric grass machine. Greenworks Commercial was kind enough to provide the new bagger system and the ETL blower and I wanted to get everything mounted and running to see how it performs right out of the box. This video focuses on the unboxing and first time testing of the bagger system rather than a full step by step assembly. Assembly was very straightforward and simple overall. The only part that requires serious attention is removing and reinstalling the rear bumper. That bumper is extremely heavy so make sure you have a thick moving blanket or solid padding underneath it to prevent damage or injury if it shifts while coming off. Once installed I put the bagger system to work to see how it fits into an all electric commercial mowing setup. Between the Optimus Z zero turn the new bagger system and the ETL blower this machine looks and feels like the Lamborghini of electric mowers. Clean powerful and purpose built.

We had been servicing their new property this summer when they asked if we could quickly service their old house they are selling. The lawn hadn’t been touched in months and looked completely neglected. We mowed, mulched the leaves, and cleaned up the yard in under 45 minutes. Having Jessica with me made the job faster, easier, and way more fun. This was a one-off, but the transformation is unreal.
