Vlog #61 | Changing Blades on the Greenworks OptimusZ 60” & 36” Greenworks Commercial Impact Driver
Just got the Greenworks Commercial Impact Driver and couldn’t wait to try it out on a blade change. First time using it on the OptimusZ 60-inch and the 36-inch stand-on, and honestly, I was surprised how good it worked compared to my Ryobi. I loved it. Made the job quick and easy. I keep all my Greenworks tools in the DECO Cases inside the DECKED drawer system in my truck. Everything’s organized, right there when I need it, which makes working on site a lot smoother. First blade change with this impact driver and I’m impressed — highly recommend it. 👉 Equipment featured: • Greenworks Commercial OptimusZ 60” Zero-Turn • Greenworks Commercial OptimusZ 36” Stand-On • Greenworks Commercial Impact Driver If you’re running Greenworks Commercial or just like watching solid mower maintenance, this video is for you.

Vlog #60 | Ozarks Drought Brings Fall 2 Months Early, No Rain, No Grass… Just LEAVES Everywhere 🍂
Here in the Ozarks we’re in a drought — no rain in over two months. The grass is brown and crispy, and the leaves are dropping early. Looks like fall has come sooner than expected. Hopefully we see some rain soon. The Optimus 60 went right through it and mulched everything up. Would’ve been a perfect time to test out the new bagger system and blower for the Optimus. 🍂💪

Greenworks Commercial Press Event 2025 | Behind the Scenes with the Latest Gear.
I was lucky enough to be invited to the Greenworks Commercial Press Event 2025. Just a year ago, when I first bought my Greenworks Commercial equipment, I never thought I’d be here, let alone being asked to be an ambassador and content creator for the brand. What started as my wife and I documenting the launch of our small lawn care company in the Ozark Mountains has turned into something much bigger. We just wanted to show that even if you’re over 50, you can still follow your dreams, start something new, and have fun with it. To be here today with Greenworks is surreal. The event itself was held at their brand-new facility in Tennessee an old nine-hole golf course that’s now a beautiful testing ground for their equipment. I got to meet the owner, connect with other creators, hang out with some “real YouTubers,” and see all the latest gear up close: • OptimusZ Zero-Turns • Commercial String Trimmers • Backpack Blowers • Chainsaws & Pole Saws • And much more from the Optimus line Travel wasn’t easy (12 hours on the road and in airports for only two hours of actual flying), but it was worth every bit. I met great people, saw the future of commercial electric equipment, and had an incredible time. This video is a long one, but if you stick through it you’re a legend. Thanks for following along with this journey. To my subscribers and my new ones hard to believe it’s only been about a year since we started this channel.

Mow It Forward Vol 1 | Restoring the Yard She Can No Longer Care For
She’s 80 years old. A widow. Her late husband was the police chief. Years ago, she was in a terrible car accident that broke her back and now she can’t bend or keep up with the heavy work around her property. To make matters worse, she no longer receives her husband’s pension, making it impossible to hire regular help. Her yard has become overgrown, trees and shrubs have taken over, and the property she once took pride in has slipped into disrepair. We decided to change that. This is Stage 1 of a full transformation mowing, trimming, clearing out overgrowth, reshaping garden beds, and breathing life back into the place. And we won’t just do it once and disappear… we’ll be coming back, stage by stage, until her property is something she can be proud of again. Today’s work: ✅ Greenworks Commercial Optimus Z60 zero-turn mower ✅ Greenworks Commercial string trimmer & edger ✅ Greenworks Commercial 82V backpack blower ✅ And yes… Edger’s glad to be here. This is just the beginning — stay tuned for the next stages of the transformatio

Vlog #56 | On The Job, 6AM Start – Can I Beat the Heat With Battery Power Greenworks Electric mower
It’s 6 a.m. in the Arkansas mountains — already hitting 90°. I’m out at the Peacock House, home of Larry and Leonard the peacocks, with the Greenworks Commercial Optimus Z 60-inch Zero-Turn and their new Optimus String Trimmer, knocking out a full mow before the heat gets worse.

Full torque. No gas all Grass. 👇 Here’s what I’m using in this video: ✅ EQUIPMENT USED: 🟢 Greenworks Optimus Z 60” 24kWh Zero-Turn Mower The 24kWh battery gives you up to 8 hours of runtime and covers up to 21 acres on a charge — all without making a sound.

Vlog #54 | 3 MINUTES OF HELL, WE WALKED IMMEDIATELY
We showed up to give a simple estimate. Before we even had a chance to walk the yard, she came out grumpy, started insulting us with sarcastic laughs after every comment, and then straight up started yelling. First thing she asked was, “Do you even know the difference between weeds and flowers?” — then laughed like we were clowns. We weren’t there more than three minutes before we walked. Her last lawn guy? He walked off too. This was one for the books…

We Installed Our Own Flagpole for the 4th 🇺🇸 Back Went Out, But the Flag Still Went Up
This 4th of July, the family and I made some great memories putting up our first flagpole at our new home here in Arkansas. We broke out the Ryobi auger, got the kids involved, and made it happen. Early in the week, I had just started filming an intro for the DECKED drawer system install when my back gave out — dropped me on the couch for five straight days. I included that quick clip in the video to show where things got off track. Still, we got the flag flying in time, and that’s what matters. Happy Independence Day from our family to yours.

Can an All-Electric Greenworks Commercial 30" Mower Handle a 70° Slope
Client’s backyard hits up to a 70° angle—no chance for the OptimusZ 60” or stand-on mowers. They slid. We brought out the Greenworks Commercial 30” walk-behind, 80V electric mower. No ropes. No tricks. Just raw Arkansas terrain and one serious machine. Did it hold the line… or fall off the mountain?

Running the Greenworks Commercial 60-inch OptimusZ and the Optimus string trimmer on the T-Rex arm.
First cut for a new client right here on the lake in the Ozarks. This one-acre residential property hadn’t been touched in a while, so it needed a solid cleanup. I’m running the Greenworks Commercial OptimusZ 60-inch, 24kW zero-turn paired with the Optimus string trimmer mounted on the T-Rex arm. Out here in the Ozarks, you’re constantly dealing with uneven terrain and hidden rocks—especially near the lake and in mountain areas. This setup handles it without a problem. The OptimusZ glides around the rocky spots like nothing, making the job smooth and efficient. Jessica came along for this one—she gave the client a quote on future landscaping and was kind enough to film a few clips while I was out there doing my thing. More lakefront cuts coming soon. #GreenworksCommercial #OptimusZ #LawnCare #Lakefront #Ozarks #MowingLife #StringTrimmer #ZeroTurn #SideHustleMowing

UPDATE! New Series Drop: We just took delivery for the new DECKED drawer system
New series starts now! We just took delivery of our brand new DECKED drawer system for the truck — and this video kicks it all off. I reached out to DECKED to see if they’d be open to a trade — no money changed hands, this isn’t a sponsored video. They were generous enough to send us a full system in exchange for a few honest videos. That’s exactly what we’re going to do. I’ve wanted one of these for a long time, and I’m genuinely excited to put it to work and share the real-world results. Huge thanks to the team at DECKED for trusting our little channel. This is just the beginning — more videos coming soon. DECKED Drawer System https://decked.com/

Vlog #49 | ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Greenworks Mower DOWN — Unreal... IT BROKE !!!!
My Greenworks Commercial Optimus 30” self-propelled mower went down — and it took nearly two months to get it fixed and running again. It all started with a routine blade change. What I didn’t know — and what’s never mentioned in the manual — is that the blade bolt is reverse-threaded. And to make things worse, it had Loctite on it. That combo snapped the bolt clean off in the spindle. Loctite on a commercial mower that needs blade changes every few days just doesn’t make sense. Now, to be fair, the delay wasn’t all Greenworks’ fault. Living out here in rural Arkansas makes everything more complicated. If we were still in Florida, where our dealer was just down the street, this would’ve been fixed in less than a week. Out here? It’s not that simple. To their credit, ***** worked hard and stayed on it. After some frustrating early communication — where I had to re-explain the situation over and over to different reps — I finally asked to speak to a manager. She stepped in, took control, and things moved quickly after that. ***** went the extra mile, calling around and doing the legwork to find a reliable repair shop for me. I turned down a bunch of options they found early on — a lot of places just weren’t qualified, and I don’t hand off my equipment to just anyone. I’m a little more picky than most (okay, a lot more picky). These machines are like my toys, and I like to keep them in pristine condition — call it OCD, but that’s just how I run. Eventually, found Greg’s Farm Services, only about an hour and a half from us — which honestly isn’t bad when you live in the middle of nowhere. Greg’s team did a great job. They got the broken bolt extracted without damaging anything, and got me back up and running. I now know I have a trusted shop I can go to if anything goes down in the future, and that gives me real peace of mind.

How Fast Can I Cut 2 Acres with the Greenworks OptimusZ 60” Zero-Turn? 💨 16MPH Beast Mode!
My wife and I were out at a client’s property, putting the Greenworks Commercial OptimusZ 60” Zero-Turn to the test. This all-electric beast can hit speeds up to 16 MPH, and it tore through 2 acres without breaking a sweat. She filmed while I mowed — and the OptimusZ made it look easy. This is what commercial battery power is supposed to be: quiet, fast, and built for real work. Big thanks to Greenworks Commercial for making serious equipment that gets the job done.

The Job That Wouldn’t End | Weather, Roots, Rocks Pure Hell ... FULL Transformation
We took on a 40-year-old rock garden that hadn’t been touched in decades — overgrown, packed with roots, rocks buried deep, and every plant had to be sourced one by one. Then came the rain. Tornado warnings. Mud. More delays. This job just wouldn’t end. We had to move every single rock by hand and drill every planting hole into rocky Arkansas clay. No machine, just me, my family, and the Ryobi 18V Auger, which honestly earned its keep. The Ryobi handheld blower came in handy too for cleanup — and after all the headaches, sprained thumbs, and bad weather, we turned this disaster into a clean, fresh knockout rose garden. Not sure I’d do it again. But we finished it — and we don’t quit. Watch to the end to see how far this one came.
