- Being a gardener can be a tough and dirty job that isn’t suited to everyone who dreams about being a gardener.
This job today isn't pretty or nice to do but these jobs need doing.
Its been roughly 2 years since we cleared this garden, I hope you enjoy this one as much as the gnomes did.
Please like and subscribe.
Thanks for watching.
Looks so much better, like a regular garden ❤
Cheers 👍it gets a yearly cut now 😬 there is a more recent video of us clearing it again. Thanks for watching
Id love a job doing this tbh i love gardening its just peaceful and a workout.
It can be, sometimes it's a horrible job but everyone can be at times...was a good one today. Thanks for watching 👍
Who about using children's square outdoors play mats, there strong and lock together, buy them in packs in DIY stores, keep up the good work Nathan, love these quick short renovation 👍
For the windows? Guess it would work, I also use those black plastic 8x4' floor protection sheets occasionally. Cheers and thanks for watching 👍
Brilliant idea. I'm stealing that.
Another great welcome to my life Nathan! You really understand the saying of when the shit hits the fan after one of those jobs eh! best go and hose the legs of now to keep the stench out of the cab! 🤣I like the way your mower ripped through that, I now have a beast of a mower, different to yours, but it certainly did it's job today! Good down to earth videos, thanks for the time you put into these for us all to learn from. 👍
Thanks 👍👍 I tried to stay sideways from the back of the mower on that one and yes a good mower makes all the difference, glad your sorted for one. Cheers mate
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd Ha Ha Yes, I did wonder why you were one handed and to the side, thought you were just playing it cool. 🤣
😎
Haha them gnomes....You done a great job on that garden....so much better..well done :)
😅the job has just gone back on my list for a tidy up so will be seeing them soon 👍 thanks for watching
Nice one mate , I would use a old fashioned hayterrete mower on that , I have a 1970,s one with a new engine on it , it will power through anything !!! Good job Nathan 👌Andrew
Cheers 👍 my mate has a condor that gets a bit of abuse on these jobs
Gnome,sweet,Gnome!!
The curtains quite suited the place😂
Yep,my Jack Russell loves me when l come home,covered in vaporised excrement and dead things.
I need worming,not him!!
Plus going blind.
from God knows.
Imagine wants lurking inside the house.
!!
Anything to keep the jack Russell interested 😅I need hosing down after some job😅👍
OMFG. Good job. Think I'd wear a mask. At least you didn't have to take waste away by the looks.
Definitely no waste away on this one thankfully 😂 cheers for watching 👍
Good job again mate 👍
Cheers mate 👍
Hi Nathan, great job! Those gnomes are dirty little buggers. Might av been their 💩
🤣it was quite sizable for little gnomes, and God knows what they're eating 😬🤣
Another great job buddy👍🏼
I’ve also started using your window sucker idea,only takes a few mins to put up but the peace of mind is so worth it 👌🏼
Cheers 👍 have done this one a few times now😬it's any easy method and takes up little room...and like you say some piece of mind to crack on
Wow...That was like Gnome-Man's Land...
🙄🤭
🤣it definitely was...the gnomes were definitely happier than me that day😬
I’ve got a nice one to start next week … at least they can use those dining chairs now …
Enjoy that👍I'm done for a few weeks hopefully with them. They have...I didn't even take 5 mins out to use them😅
Good man. I did one today.. but as I only have a standard albeit good strimmer, but it's not built for thick stuff, I was stooped low down using the big Stihl rough cut hedge trimmer on dem brambles 😂 It's a workout at forty years young.
Gotta use what you have 👍 shredding/ mulching blade works on most stimmers
Hi Nathan nice video Hope This weeks going better Thanks again
Cheers 👍 had a couple of days off this week so all good. Hope you're having a good one👌
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd Thanks
Huge job, well done
Thanks 👍 have done a run of these lately so have the system sorted to get them tidy quick enough. Thanks for watching 👌
Know what you mean about dealing with folk. I think that somebody put something in the water - everybody is so demanding, they want everything IMMEDIATELY. I refused to answer my phone today - if its important they can call back. Just didn't need the grief. That November, had 'enough of grass' feeling is here already. Good blitz on the garden though.
Cheers 👍 I wasn't on about the customer on this one but I get where you're coming from. Even looks like November with all the leaves dropping 🙄
Well for two years growth I hope it was worth your effort. As for window protection I just take my chances. With regular visits it'll look like a normal garden in no time
Back in 2 years 😅 there was gravel under all the back garden so didn't want to risk it😬
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd it looks simple enough but a headache at the same time 🙄
Yea straight forward this one, just keep making some noise until it's half tidy😅 having a good week mate?
Jonathon you’ll stop taking your chances when you put a patio door glass through and it’s a £300 replacement ! Not worth the risk no matter how good you think you are
Great video Nathan 👍 how do you know it wasn’t Gnome 💩 though ? 😂😂😂
Cheers 👍 I hadn't thought of that but I've ran a mower over my share of dog sh*t over the years 😅
Nice work👍
Cheers 👍 thanks for watching 👌
I have stolen your sticky cuppy idea. Nice one Nathan. Its definitely gonna save awkward conversations down the line.
Anything that helps👍👍
@@LewisgardenservicesLtdcan you help my brother he's garden is like this where are you based?
@@shannongrace5497 hi, think we've been in contact and different area👍 cheers tho
Nathan we loved this one, so pleased you saved the gnomes 😂 what film is the clip of the gnomes from ? Looks a good film. Your overgrown clearances are by far your best vids, well done 👍
Cheers 👍 it's Sherlock gnomes I think. Thanks, the clearing jobs can be a pain to film as just want to get stuck in and out of there but I'll do more👌
A great clearance. It looks so different. Never saw someone use window protection before. Is it to protect from sound vibration?
Thanks, it's to protect the windows from being smashed from small stones off the strimmer. Thanks for watching 👍
Going to croes-y-pant in two weeks time week away visit wherey farther was a Bevin boy.going to the big pit museum.
Anywhere you reckonmend?
Big put is a good visit, Cardiff bay is worth a visit, Brecon beacons for the waterfalls. There are a few mining historical places to visit. It's a nice area with plenty to visit. Have a good one👍
Thank you so much.
You must be tied and fed up have a shower and a pint nice one .
@@rogersoper2234 had a pint even tho this job was last week 😅 off the clearing jobs for a while hopefully 👍
Dag shit, nice.
Yum😅
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd
I've discovered that if I keep my nostril hair trimmed or plucked out using my long nose pliers, this helps a lot since I can always smell it long after I've smelled it lol. That most pleasant of aromas seems to stick to my nostril hairs when I don't trim or pluck them out.
Good to know 🤔😅
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd
I suppose I could just block up my nostrils with tissue paper or blutack or something, breathe through a small gap through my mouth and put the pliers away. Never thought of that before, until now. Thanks for inspiring me brother.
Didn't look too bad for 2 years growth. My garden was ok until mid summer last year, then a back injury stopped me from being able to do the work. It's May and I have very long grass and brambles everywhere. Because I had to stop working I have no money to pay anyone to fix it.
Yea could have been a lot worse for 2 years. Hopefully your situation will improve and you can get back on track with the garden, keep moving forward with things if you can 👍 cheers
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd I am trying to do 5 minutes a day, which is the max I can manage at the moment 😂
@@jacquelinesherlock2274 you'll get there💪👍
Well done for doing it personally I would have over priced it fffff people
Cheers 👍 I don't mind the dog muck it's the cat stuff that gets me🤢
👍💪
👍 cheers
They should just buy a goat
Rent a goat 😅👍
My garden is this bad probably worse cause my parents couldnt keep up with it due to no tools etc and its just been let to grow lol its mainly just grass and thorns mostly dead tho
It's difficult without tools, maybe have a go with some hand tools if you can borrow some before it all starts to grow back this year. Good luck with it and thanks for watching 👍
@Lewis garden services Ltd thanks for the advice i am gonna try again even tho it is a massive garden i did try last summer with my sister but it grew back im the matter of a week cause we didnt dig up the thorn roots and the tools ended up breaking but im gonna try again while all the thorns are mainly dead and grow back slower at this time of year. What you do is a lot of effort im sure you change so many peoples lives and well-being allowing them access to their gardens its admirable the hard work you put in I can tell first hand just from the little i did that its effort. :)
Thanks and good 🤞 good on you for giving it a go👍
What’s the tool you use at the beginning for the bramble bushes ? I have super tall ones I need to tackle that are taller than me!
Hi, think it's the Oregon mulching blade, amazing bits of kit. Cheers 👍
Ty :) watched loads of your vids last night. Satisfying!!
@gl5934 thank you and glad you enjoyed them👍
wonder how the battery strummers would do on this
I've run the shredding blade on the battery combi unit which I believe is the same motor and it definitely punched as good as petrol, if anything if didn't bog down like petrol. Anything to get through these jobs tho😅 cheers 👍
What is that first tool you used? I need one of those. Do they cut through stinger branches, thorn bushes and blackberry bushes? Also didn't see a wire...battery-powered?
Hi, it an Oregon mulching blade attached to the petrol strimmer and yes they'll cut through those, upto an inch thick generally. Thanks for watching and good luck with the job. Cheers 👍
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd thank you, will have to try and get one. Bless you 🙏
@@Rachie-nj3oi they are readily available and fit most strimmers, be careful what you hit with them, they give a kickback 😬👍
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd will do, appreciate the advice 🙏 🙂
How much would you normally charge on a job like this boss?
Waste away would have to be £400 I guess
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd thank you sir, I’ve just started up a business very similar so im trying to gain as much information on value as possible
Hello. Can you tell me what was that first tool you used before you used the mower?
Hi, it'll be the Oregon mulching blade on the strimmer. Really effective on overgrown areas. Thanks for watching 👍
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd Thank you for your response. Sorry to bother you again but when I went to the Oregon site there are many different choices. Could you possibly tell me where you got the strimmer and the particular mulching blade. Thanks so much.
@@christinemccloskey7429did you find out which strimmer and type blade
Sorry just seen this, Oregon 2 tip mulching blade fits any strimmer
What was that at the end about dealing with stuff/people someone give you grief?! Do tell! Share the pain! It's better to let it out
Not the customer on this one, they're great but others around me just being hard work🙄
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd neighbours? Members public? Staff? Just curious is all. I'm not a sadist I'm just curious!
All of them🙄
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd I hear you brother 🤣
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd So often the work is nice eh? The work is cool if you are able to relax into it but it's everything and everyone else that'll spoil your day eh.
What mower is that nath?
Etesia pro 46, great mowers👍use them for all our maintenance and they tackle any rough work. Used them 20 years now👌
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd thanks nath. Do lots of over grown clearances like these. Keep the vids coming mate. 👌🏼
Will do, hopefully not all clearing jobs tho 😅
Nothings gets done for two years ,what's that about. You sure are a grafter. It looked too over grown for dogs to get in there and shit, sure it wasn't them gnomes. 😊
Just how it is in some places, cheers 👍 the back garden had none but the front was definitely not the gnomes fault 😅
It only took you 8 minutes what you moaning at 👍🍻🤪💰💰💰 did you use a standard brush cutter blade???
🤣 mulching blade and went steady on it incase and pesky gnomes had been moved😬😅
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd they mulch down very well so a mate said ☺
@@Grahams-Grass mulched gnome 👍
