We run crews 7 days a week. The weekend crews mostly do irrigation work or enhancement work on business parks/industrial properties. They dont want us there during the week because of the noise. We also do a couple private schools that require us to start at 6am for the same reason that they want us out of there before class starts.

As a business owner i want to have crews working as many days as possible. More work means??????..……

We are not to good for weekends :/ lol

im interested in learning to install irrigation where can i findout how to do this?

To be honest the only real way to learn is hands on experience. I was fresh out of high school when i started digging trenches and learning irrigation. When it comes to irrigation there a million different ways to do things and a million different brands of products to use. If you want to learn fly out to Ca and ill send you with my crews :)

O Dark Thirty is the best time. The headlights on the tractor Blind the Deer and Skunks and give you a better shot at them.

I start as soon as the dew is off the grass.

I have never understood why some want to start as soon as the sun comes up then be done before 2.
I wait for the dew to be gone cutting wet grass leaves brown tips.
And I work till dark and never on a Sunday that's just asking for trouble

I never understood waiting for the dew to be gone...My Scag does a great job on wet grass, and I am not waiting until 1 PM to start mowing.

Yeah, here in the US, Sunday is really the only day that rule would apply!

We usually start at 8:00 am weekdays, the same for Sat . We never cut on Sundays. That is when we count all our money and dine at fancy restaurants! ( Just kidding about the restaurants).
