- This is the backyard clean up from the property last week where I cleaned up the overgrown front yard.
It's a massive undertaking but I'll get it done.
If you are interested in any of the equipment I'm using, check out my new page Turf and Tools / @turfandtools where I review equipment that I am sent and use. If you'd like to send something for me to show, send me an e-mail timthelawnmowerman@gmail.com
Hi! My name is Tim The Lawnmower Man and I love to clean up overgrown yards and make fun videos doing it. I'm able to do them for free as these videos have ads on them and the revenue from that enables me to cover my cost.
I'm always looking for the worst yards around. Sometimes I drive around looking for them, sometimes viewers send me suggestions.

I'm going to subscribe for Kevin content.. One of the nicest Chihuahuas I've seen in quite a while!!
Kevin is the stepchild. I think he's adorable. I'd take him in a heartbeat❤@@MirexDevonRex
nice that the homeowner was willing to do some work to help get this yard back in order. And kuddos to Aussie Skips for their contribution !!! If we all work together it's amazing what we can get accomplish. Well done !!!
And the JD Gator - yes, please & thank you. I only have one acre and would love to have one of these - would come in quite handy when running from one end of the garden to the other - especially when your 70 years old !!!!
I am so glad you got them to load their own rubbish. You are there to sort their garden, not to be their skivvy. What a hovel. Brilliant work by you tho Tim, as usual. 👏👌☺️🏴
We have no idea what the folks in that house are going through. The thing i like so much about Tim is i never hear him judge anyone, which is why folks may feel safe enough to let him see the state they end up in. Kindness wins
Yes we do. They are grubs. They just dump their rubbish in the yard. While thousands of people are on the waiting list list for a house they treat theirs like the local junkie garbage dump
I also like that even id he does know, we as viewers are not given private personal confidential information about the people. It really bothers me that another channel I enjoy for their work, shares waaaay too much info. It is wrong. Tim is so balanced about all his jobs.

@@scottt8258Yep, no excuse. Bogans
@@user-qp2ec2od3yhi may I ask what channel your referring to I love these sorts of clean up channels thanks.❤
Thank goodness for your dumpster connection and your flail mower. Thanks for the video and your hard work.
Yard looking much better. Good luck with your garden you two! My spouse and i use to do one every year. Fun and so much better than store bought! ♥️👍
Lol thanks for the laugh when you showed us to the palm tree top.😅
So Bizarre that they let it get THAT BAD and so much junk and trash throw out on ground... really sick. You deserve a Huge Gold Star and many many many Blessings for doing that.
That cleanup was MONUMENTAL!!! NO REASON TO TREAT UR BACKYARD LIKE A DUMP, I UNDERSTAND SOME PPL CANT KEEP UP WITH THEIR LAWN, BUT THAT WAS RIDICULOUS, GREAT JOB
It's likely this is a rental property, where tenants just don't give a shit. It's the same everywhere... "Not my house so not my problem."
@@daveduncan9005 True, but they are the ones who had to live with all that junk and overgrown grass/weeds, not the landlord. No self-respect.
@@reneep.1978More like no respect, if it is a rental. It's likely the same in all parts of the world. Tenants move out and leave the landlord with the disaster. People like that are the reason why affordable housing is becoming harder to find.
@@daveduncan9005 I have lived for many years in rental houses and now live in a community house ( state housing for over 6oyrs ) and every home i have lived in i have treated with respect as if it is my own. I have had many people see my homes and always complemented on how clean and tidy i keep them.
@@daveduncan9005most people do value there home and I've seen so many home owners treat there property like a dump..I rent and I keep my yards perfect.
Never seen grass you can trampoline on before. You were actually bouncing.
I bet you are so grateful for the day you made the decision to buy that flail mower! It’s awesome. 👍
There’s always shopping trolleys. In a Millenia they’ll be digging these up across Australia thinking they’re a primitive form of transportation. 😂😂
Why do some people think it’s appropriate to use their yard as a dump? I don’t understand it…….
Exactly. No shame
They are very lazy people 😢.
Some people use the inside of their houses as a tip also. Mental health issues, physical disability and lack of support is usually the primary reason. It is wonderful for Tim and others like him pitch in and rescue the properties ❤
@@suerobinson844 Agreed. There are multiple reasons, poor mental health being chief among them.
Mental health is often the issue. We need to be compassionate and supportive not judgemental. We don’t know the journey other people are on
Thanx Tim. That tree u showed for some reason made me lol 😂🤣 the world record for the longest tree stump. 😂🤣😁
I love listening to the birds chirping away whilst you are doing the gardens Tim ❤
Great job, Tim! And a big thank you to Aussie Skips (?) for your help as well! If I lived in your country and area, I would use your services.
Your wife's garden is amazing 👏. Tell her hi 👋 😊. Love the doggies 🐕. Chickens make me laugh 😃. I can tell how much you 2 enjoy this property.
Well then, who's the happy chappy on his 10 acres of land, with colourful wildlife to admire and blissful fresh air to enjoy? Ahhh, the serenity!☺ All the best to you Tim and to your supportive wife on this adventure. May the vegetables you have planted multiply and reward you with a bounteous harvest. 😊 Greetings from South Oz.
Tim you are a hero! I love cleaning up garbage like this but you found a good one this time my friend. I love your videos so much thank you for contributing to do so much good in this world today. Wish i was there to help. I'm 66 but i would help for sure. ❤❤❤❤❤
you KNOW its some gnarly stuff when even the flail mower bogs down
Tim, have you thought of acquiring a military surplus flame thrower 🔥 😂
I don’t know what you call a (tandem axle) “Dump Truck’ in Australia but, I think you might need one added to your 10 year plan 😂
That flail mower never fails to impress. Worth every penny!
for slugs, i use an empty container about 4-6 inches high , bury half in the dirt, add a stick as a ramp, and pour about 2 inches of cheap beer in there. works great! I put out about 2 or 3 traps a night in the high traffic areas and have caught about 100+ slugs in the last few weeks. i empty out the traps every couple days and add fresh beer.
Much love to you Tim. You are such an inspiration to us all. Your generosity, hard work and kindness is unmatched. ❤
Tim you did a fantastic job buddy 👏 hope the family keeps the yard up better now. You garden is really coming along I am glad you have a good life and are so blessed. Wishing you a wonderful day ❤️ you in Michigan. U. S. A
great job Tim, i bet the neighbours truly love you for doin a fantastic job
Great that you are clearing the vegetation, and you managed to get a skip, but surely the occupants could have bag=gaged up the rest of the rubbish and placed it in a nice heap at the front.
Hey Tim! So glad you actually had the occupants pick up their own mess no legitimate excuse for it ! My MIL is 89 does her own cleaning and cooking, keeps a clean home, still maintains a small garden while using a cane.
My husband started a compost bin years ago uses to fertilize the garden works great!
That Flail Mowers does a great job and it's the right tool for the job. I wish you had something to go back over the yard to collect the grass.
He needs a combine such as hay farmers use to harvest their crop. A mini Combine.
I have a friend that has many gardens on their property. He saves vegetable & fruit peelings, clam shells and such (no protein scraps) to compost into his gardens. He also saves newspaper (no glossy inserts) to put on top of the soil in the fall when the garden has finished (here in the USA). When spring comes, he tills the newspaper into the soil. His gardens are amazing and the amount of yield he has enough to give away to friends and still have enough to can for the winter. Wish you the best of luck with your garden.
You're the man for the job. Go for it Tim.
I saw FOUR PEOPLE getting ready to go for a ride on motorcycle in the first video of the front yard, so maybe if they took care of their yards themselves , then they would feel better mentally and physically. A GOOD WORKOUT can be good for Body and Soul. We all have problems. BUT GREAT JOB, TIM. I enjoy your videos a lot. THANKS FOR HELPING EVERYONE. ❤FROM OREGON.
On something……..
0:53 "PHIIIIIL, PHIIIIIL Hope you're hungry I need you buddy"
G'day Tim,
as someone with Disability & quite often also struggle with health I understand looking after the grass/bushes/trees is hard,
but just throwing rubbish in the yard like that when we have Weekly Garbage Collection & Council Clean Up is something else.
So I am from Idaho USA . It is known for the beautiful potatoes the state grows. My husband who is from California was amazed when we planted our first garden to find out that we got more than one potato from each plant. We have teased him about that forever after. Good luck with your spuds, hope you get a bunch from each plant!
Instead of cardboard you might try newspaper. It's easier to dig through when planting. You can also put Preen down a few days ahead, that will kill any seeds left in the dirt. So newspaper, manure, and top soil mixed in. My sister and I call it a Lasagna garden.😊
Tim this should come to a million views for what you do for people 🤙🏽💯Mahalo to a very courageous hard worker 🌺🍍🌴🇺🇸🇦🇺✝️❤️🔥🤙🏽
"Nicole, I don't remember yesterday" literally me
"Kevin! Get away from the Kikuyu!" cracked me up 🤣😂🤣😂 You're sooo funny Tim!!
Crazy backyard alright Tim! Wow just love YOUR backyard, veggie patch and chooks! May your harvest be plentiful.❤️🙏
It’s not a back garden it a junkyard 😂
Imagine what the inside of the house looks like
You always do an amazing job. You have the best attitude too unlike others who take on a difficult job then whine when it gets difficult. You are a pleasure to watch!
Hey Tim...
Great work as usual...
You need a HAY BALER for grass this long and dense...😂😂
My goodness you had a job on this but now it's looking so much better. And now you have a wonderful job on your hands I do love the garden. God bless you both 🙏❤️🌹
surely the people that live there couldve cleared the garden first! great job tim
If Tim is having trouble seeing objects im certain the people there also had trouble see what was there.
@@roxannesykes415 all that rubbish near the house thats clear to see?
My favorite videos are you guys on your property. Love all the things you both are doing. Gardens, chickens, orchard. It’s fun watching everything you do. I’ll say it again, love the running with the chickens 🙌🐓🙌🐓🙌
The Gentleman and Lady Gardeners..........you two will be fantastic gardeners sooner than you think.
Thank you for being a true professional and standing up for people who can’t or won’t stand up for themselves they need to pay you more money!!!
Great work, Tim. My personal highlights were the 40 minute blanket detangle and the clarification on the tree/pole. Dang, that place is a beast and I'm looking forward to seeing you conquer it.
WooHoo you did the backyard!!!
Before jumping to judgment, remembering that mental health and physical health play a role in how things can get that bad. It could happen to you. Hopefully, there's a certified lawn detailer that will come along and help you. ❤ Thank you Tim for doing what you do!!
Amen. 🥰😘🤗😁
I am physically disabled and I try to maintain my own bedroom...not even anything in the house. My carer does the rest. I have to push myself to do 1 room because I feel I have to do something. I have gone from the whole yard and house to one room. Yes, I get a bit down over that.
Thank you Tim for helping this family. 😕😕👍🇦🇺
The fact you are taking responsibility for work is a very positive sign, not everything but what you are capable of, we have to adapt to our circumstances, age, disability ill health, reward yourself for your efforts 😊
It looked as if these guys just threw the trash out the back door. I can't imagine how many bags of grass you're going to have to take out of that backyard. Outstanding job, Tim, and I love ❤️ your work.
What on job that is. But they will just trash it up again and never mow and it will be in the same state down the road.
You are making great progress, and it is good that the occupants are able to help.
Nice to see your property, pets and toys ❤Sue
In future I’ll definitely use Aussie skips, love their community support ❤
Some have large gardens but use them as tips. Such a shame when you have such large gardens! I would plant an orchard in this one. Raised beds for veg, boarders for flower beds. Get rid of the growth on the fences. A lovely patio for table and chairs. So much you could create!
Im from Oklahoma USA.
For a first time gardener i think your garden is coming along FABULOUSLY. Im excited to see how it developes. You did great on your beds. I wnder if you have thought about some beans . I taught my kids to start with some beans because here they are very easy to grow. Im sure its different in Australia . Love this aspect of your channel
You are a brave man to tackle this dump site. Well done so far 💎
Pretty bad amount of rubbish, Tim. Skip was a good idea, even better that they cleared most f it. Why just toss junk into the yard? Our councils in Geelong give us so many free pick ups per annum, limited but you can put out a fair bit, not just green wast. Thank you Tim, bless you for your hard work. 👏❤️🤗
The flailinator to the rescue again! Love it!
Love your vegetable garden, just an idea that works for me, if your planting from seed packages just place the little package on a small stick next to where you planted them and you'll never have to guess what everything is, here it's harder to get packaged seeds so I just cut a potatoes that's started to root or slice a cucumber and so forth and plant the slice, squash whatever has its own seeks and if you plant them shallow just under the top layer of soil they'll grow quite nicely but I always put a small stick with the name so I can remember where everything is , just an idea, but love the garden
As usual a wonderful transformation is occurring. Can't wait for more parts. I subscribed to your other channel but haven't watched it yet.... Oops I will now to check out your projects. Very interesting. Keep on keeping on 😊
Hi Tim, Love the Chanel ! Just a couple of tips for your Home veggie Garden (1) You have Chickens, when cleaning them out Put all their droppings in a Nylon type carrot sack a stick through the top and suspend in a big plastic barrel (top removed of course) fit a tap at the bottom sit it on a few blocks to allow the tap to be used with a watering Can , It is THE Best liquid fertilizer your veggie Garden can get ! (2) Growing Garlic, If you want them to sprout faster , You put your bulbs or Cloves through a false winter, Pop them in the freezer overnight, next morning move to the fridge They will start producing shoots very quickly , Plant them out and enjoy Your Garlic !
Great job on this transition, and I love your garden😊😁🤗👍💜👍👍👍💜💜💜
Thank you for doing what you do and sharing it ❤🎉🎉🎉
Ok, so with this video Tim,I did not watch until the end but stopped when the potato planting started. I have already watched that video on turf and tools as I am subscriber. Good luck with your push for new viewers. And good luck with this yard. I will be back to see what happens next on both channels!
What a tough job. I hope you will be able to cut back the fence. CAN'T wait for the next video.
I laughed out loud when you panned up to the top of the tree! 😂😅😂
I wonder what the inside of their home is like. We live in govt housing, and have always kept our place, clean and tidy. Raised 5 children here, and our Family never left rubbish around. They knew better 😂, but we raised them with good examples. Our garden and
home, are still lovley❤
I'm surprised the local council didn't get onto this. I live on the Mornington Peninsula Vic, and I know our council would have given these people, a notice. If I was a neighbour, I would have reported them.
Well, "Karen", the key fact in your judgment is "raised with good examples".🤔🤨 Many people were not, and dealt with worse as well. 😧😮💨 You aren't qualified to judge what you haven't experienced. The world would be a much better place if people would only try harder to be kind. I am one of the fortunate few who managed to survive, and move beyond, a difficult start. It didn't happen because of the kindness of others, I can assure you! 😬🙄I will never judge anyone else for what they cannot achieve. We aren't all created equal, despite what you've been told. Remember: When you point your finger at someone, there are 3 fingers pointing back at you. Just sayin'. 😐
This is a great video, Tim! The best of both channels; some extremely overgrown yard and a veggie garden/life on the farm update. I hope your loyal Tim The Lawnmower Man watchers take a good look at Turf and Tools, so much wonderful content there. Looking forward to the next episode of this massive yard cleanup. Thanks for sharing!🥰❤👍
You were struggling to walk through the grass....it was like you were walking in 3 ft of snow! Thank goodness for the flail mower...it is such a work horse! Love your new property. I hope you have many years of happiness there.
watching the podcast live last night, now watching this video.. poor flail mower 😭 .. i remember years ago working on a small farm and using the tractor rotovator next to an old fence, the sheer panic and dread when it suddenly loudly clunked and stopped because of the barbed wire id uncovered.. i feel for your flail mower and you tim
Love my hand tools! Great for planting and weeding. Nothing beats fresh potatoes washed with skins on, lightly boiled and then with a little butter on to eat. Yes keep them moist for a week until they root.
Great work ‘guys’. I loved the twenty questions by Tim about what vege’s are what and Leigh could rattle them off with no hesitation.
Probably the mattress that went with the bed frame you just took out of that area.
You're a brave man Tim, taking on that (Elephant One Leg) back yard, but I can't wait to see what you do with it ❤ 👋🏻 Tim's other half, you know your stuff when it comes to planting out👍🏻❤
That machine is awesome! Can’t imagine how many big bags of grass you will haul out of there! Got a lot of stuff hanging off the fence too…that will be a lot! There are mysterious things under all that grass! - watching from Lake Wales, Florida
PG Tips Boys and there tools comes to mind 🤪🤪🤪🤪Another great clean in back garden can’t wait to see the rest 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍
Turf n Tools, nice plot of land. Interesting to listen how you talk to each other!
Great job Tim,you have a nice garden.
I'm convinced Tim will soon be hosting the show Hoarders.
A bit of everything in this episode...
Bed well and stay safe
Wow, the mower is a beast, there's going to be a lot of grass to pick up, but it's already looking better.
Kai Pai Tim.
I am already subscribed to your other channel, but I like to watch from the first video, so it will take awhile to get caught up.
I am looking forward to this channel and learning about how to use products etc.😊
♥️ Laura NZ
There is no challenge you can’t conquer, Tim.
Wow what a lot of hard work to start clearing all that mess.❤
We have two large allotment plots, there was just one until I noticed that the very thick bramble bushes covered a large section of the land behind my first plot. It was known as “No man’s land” as no one wanted it, it was used as a rubbish dump, sacks of rubbish buried under these brambles four feet deep! I put in for it to our council snd got it. Eight months later, we were growing more produce and fruits trees planted. It was just myself doing the clearing hence the length of time to have it up and producing. Msny tips runs ensued as you can imagine.😃👏👍
Is so sad to sees yard. Thank you for asking on such a hard job. Anything will be an improvement.
My grandmother’s voice always echo through when I see things of this nature. She would say you can’t help being poor, but you can help being nasty. There is little excuse for this type of neglect.
Garbage in the yard says it all. Like if you see 1 mouse, there a ton. Not worth breaking your equipment.
On the potato bed, you only add more soil if the potatoes are indeterminate. Determinant potatoes only grow so much.
Grocery store produce is sprayed with a growth inhibitor solution to stop them from growing so they store longer.
You’re going to have about a dozen or more potatoes per plant. Once the plants start to grow tall you’re going to hill them up. Meaning hoeing up the soil around the plants. Making a small hill. You will then keep hilling them until the plants mature. I spent much of my childhood hilling potatoes as my father loved a huge garden. We usually planted 6 to 8, 50ft rows yielding several hundred pounds of potatoes each year. They store easily in wooden bins in a cool dry dark place in the cellar. Carrots can be stored in large trash cans filled with saw dust from a wood mill.
Omg, wow! What a terrible mess, but seriously, you did an incredible job👌. Hopefully it will stay this way after you've left 🤞. I commented before the video finished, so I'm back to say that was funny when you panned up to the top of the tree 😅👌
The owners should have bagged the rest of that trash and walked their yard to make sure you didn't run over any hidden trash or debris.
It looks like the neighbours have contributed to the overgrowth at the fence line. Looks better all the time. Great job as always Tim. God Bless your ethics.
Sending a Hello from Oregon, USA. Referred to you by All Bladz CZcams channel. ❤️ Happy to see so many people doing what they can to help their neighbors. Love all around!
This is the best transformation I have ever seen . You guys did such an amazing job !
The yard looks fantastic now. Your property is beautiful! It looks like a park!
….. that “mower” reminds of a 80’s movie called “Moving” with Richard Pryor. His next door neighbor, Frank, had a monster mower that looks a lot that yours. That thing is a beast! 👊🏼🍻
Wow what a big job can’t wait to see the once it’s finished. Great job Tim.
U got them a bin, good thinking THEN to get the tenants to load it up, GOOD good thinking 👏🏼. Looking forward to the end result
You have to show us the top of that tree!!! Never mind...just saw it!
Great one Tim, I wonder why they left rubbish in the back knowing Tim was coming to do the back garden, should have moved all the junk into one spot, maybe a cnr. In the garden once the bin was filled up..
