I found this overgrown lawn and knocked on the door but almost immediately knew it was vacant from the smell that was coming from the inside. So, I spoke with the next door neighbor and he told the me homeowner passed away on the front porch a few years ago. He wasn’t sure the cause but since then, nobody takes care of the home. There were a lot of back taxes on it and the city only sends someone out to cut it 1 time a year so I thought I would get it back into shape for the neighborhood.

I mentioned several times for you to get the Caladryl Clear and put it on before you do yardwork. It dries clear and will protect your skin until you can rinse off.
I really feel for you Spencer. I am one of the few that has absolutely no problems with poison ivy or poison oak. It took me forever to learn to identify either as I can wallow around in it, which I did as child and nothing happens. But my wife and son are more like you.
You got very lucky this time with the poison-ivy. And always and I mean always be extremely careful around those 3 leaf weeds.
Yo SB - could you make a specific video on how you deal with poison ivy infestations? It would practically be a public service announcement. 🙂
Just watching you is making me itchy 😂 Have you tried Tecnu poison oak and ivy armor? It does protect your skin, although it won't keep the oils from getting on your equipment
Sacrificing your own comfort and well-being for a bunch of strangers and the memory of a man you never met. The world's a better place with people like you in it, Spencer.
He is awesome!!
He’s a saint! He’s the son everybody wishes they had…
Well said jedi2016😊
Amen to that!!
No. He also does it for the money CZcams pays him! It's not for free......
Some children were brought up correctly. You are one of them. Your mom must be proud of you.
Respect and love, sir.
I appreciate that!
And your Dad is proud too!
@@roberta4989begging for money
He makes all us old daddies extremely proud of him.
Because your body spins around so much I'm wondering if this ever causes you to have strange dreams?❓❓❓🗯️🗯️🗯️🤕🌍🌍🌍👹👺👹👺🛺🪰🪰🪰🪰@@SBMowing
"Especially for the man that used to live here." For some reason that struck me as an especially touching sentiment when you consider he clearly took pride in his lawn when he was around. Sweet of you for thinking of him in that moment.
Exactly what I was thinking 🥹
😢
He's looking down with a smile on his face sb awesome transformation again
Yeah at least the man passed where he lived in his loved yard. His spirit still on the porch?
You make it look like easy work, but the truth is it is hardwork.
I commend you.
I'm imagining the owner watching over you and smiling as you clear his yard. How nice of you to honor his memory by doing this.
When you see an overgrown lawn, you take matters into your own hands. You sir, are a veggie-lante.
That's funny as hell, and I'm not even a dad!
He brings out-lawns to justice.
@@steverobbins4872
Are you a retired officer?
Touche!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😏
Great jokes. BUT SERIOUSLY...
Spencer was clearly out standing in his field. 😉
that's the thing about possessions in this world. we are really just borrowing them while we are here.
That's absolutely true!
yes....I began helping to take care of the possessions left behind by my family members who passed on when I was still in my 30s (30 years ago). I learned well, and by experience, that all our treasures, photos, possessions---are just along for a certain span of time in our lives. Now in my mid-60s, I'm being proactive about MOVING THINGS ON before I reach my end stages of life. Less for my sons (or whoever) to deal with, down the road.
@@stardust949 I absolutely agree.
@@stardust949 Godspeed Stardust
Truth
The lady that came over and said, "Thank you, Jesus!" made me smile!
Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏
The little pink flowering shrub/rose in front got me. 😢 someone really loved that little forlorn house once. Thank you for going above and beyond to honor it and its former owner.
looked like it might have been peonies
@@Neilsowards Yeah, I have some and pretty sure it's a peony.
This isn't a landscaping channel. This is an ART channel. The work you do is breathtaking!
Thank you so much!
I like the way you put it. This truly an art form.
Might need to minimize your develed comments
Mrs SB seems very supportive. She deserves a big pat on the back. 👏👏
I get poison ivy really bad too. I use Technu Extreme. My son uses bleach. Yikes.
Wonder if we're ever going to meet Mrs. SB.... She's a big part of the channel behind the scenes already....
@@DJ-bh1ju Mrs. SB was in a post on Nov 28, 2023. One picture.
@@patr3410 Not sure that's her in the pic since it's an ad for Company Cam.... Probably her decorating the tree in the house....
Mrs SB deserves a nice dinner at a restaurant!
I know I mentioned this before but, I'm going to mention it again! I've seen you get into poison ivy when you least expected it! Will you consider keeping a bottle of Dawn, a gallon of water, a couple of washcloths, a stack of disposable masks, and goggles that fit over your glasses in your truck? Think of it as a Personalized First Aid Kit! It could be really helpful for heading off a rash on your face, neck, hands, and arms until you can get home!
Thank you. You put your health at risk to do this awesome job in memory of this man. You're a really nice young man, Spencer! You are an inspiration for people everywhere to do something selfless for others. Excellent job! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🇨🇱🇨🇱
Can't it also be inhaled and cause issues with the throat and lungs?
@@triciac1019yes, I agree. Some non drowsy Benadryl would be a good idea to include too.
A very old but awesome cure for poison ivy is jewel weed. You crack open the stems and the syrup that comes out you put on poison ivy rash. Clears it up super quick!! It’s a weed with an orange flower found in wetter fields
Great job! Glad you left the flowers in the corner... neat video!
Thank you!
Thank you for not mowing over the flowers.
It looks so much better now. That neighbor must be super excited. 😂
I agree! I was worried about them. Glad they were in bloom now. Can't see that well, but looked like peonies. I've had mine over 20 years and they come back gorgeously every year. Not bloomed yet this year, but I'm in northern Ontario, so it's still early here.
@lynnquinn7244 noticed he got some of the lilies but they grow back quickly. And it's hard to see those under tall grass.
I’m amazed to see flowers, they’re usually just overgrown yards
You know the neighbors are just going to be over the moon about their view now. Especially with blooming flowers over the carefully trimmed and sculpted yard. Bound to lift their spirits.
I am quite ashamed that these cities don’t pay his company for his services or even volunteer to send him help on some of these. It makes so much difference and I am sure the neighbors totally enjoy it for the time it works, at least once. Thanks Spencer for caring. You have a servants heart
Agreed 💯
I've often wondered if any of these properties get follow up maintenance after he's done. In most cases, once he's done the "heavy lifting" of getting them cleaned up, keeping it that way wouldn't be hard. Just wonder how many do actually keep them up afterwards.
Some of these properties also look like they've been neglected far longer than indicated in the back story.
@Suzypurvis3662 do you really think our government is going to volunteer their time or employees to help out ordinary citizens. If it doesn't come with money attached they don't care
He certainly does...
Not only don’t they help, many charge the mowers for the disposal of the “green waste”!
I feel a kindred spirit to the man who passed because he showcased the pink peonies in his front yard. I had them in my yard in Tulsa OK. When I moved a 1000 miles west, they were my first plantings in my front yard. Thanks for caring for this lawn in his memory and for bringing “hallelujahs” to the neighborhood.
Thank you for saving the peony bush. Small touches like that make a big difference in neighborhoods.
The poison ivy is airborne though. Isn't it ??? I hope children don't breathe that into their tiny lungs.
Spencer, this touched my heart. What an amazing transformation this was. I know the gentleman was smiling from heaven, watching you tidy up his beloved yard
I was watching with my friends at work and we all agreed that you should wear disposable Tyvek suits for much better protection from the poison ivy.
A mask is also advised.
Maybe they'll sponsor you!!
Tec-Nu is the best product for removing poison ivy!
I worked in the Tyvek . The suits are great for working in until it gets really hot. Then it’s a sauna suit.
Can't help but think you had someone smiling in heaven that day, SB.
You are amazing. You did this alone, with no help, so please take credit. Don't say "we" just got done with this yard. It's all you, and you always do a wonderful job.
Maybe he's thinking along the lines of "we" help finance what he does by watching his videos
Even though you're allergic to poison IVY, it's great that you went out of your way to do this LAWN!😮
That took a HUGE pair and an even huger heart. So impressive. ❤
That's great that MrsSB helps you out, especially with poison ivy all about this yard. Kudos
You get the lawn care Medal of Honor for this one!
To know you put your own health and safety in danger to pay respect to a person you never met makes me respect you even more. Love Friday's because of you!!!
Sweetest Gardener and his Mrs. making the world a better place...helping people with what they left behind. I think that man was watching from above!!!♥️and the charming homes across the street watching you and smiling!!!
Mrs. SB is also a legend, confirmed.
Haha she is!
God bless her! And God bless you! Taking on a project with poison ivy is a selfless sacrifice.
It's so sad seeing properties that were once so well cared for be left to deteriorate for whatever reasons! Especially when surviving family members can't come to a decision on how to go forward!! Lovely to see the peonies blooming in the yard! You made the yard look so nice Spencer!!!
I’ve out green had the same thought about these lost properties left to to it for want of property tax. And family members that can’t agree on what to do and how to get it done, who gets the money, etc. if it were sold for the property taxes plus a little more, they’d at least get something. But as it is they get nothing. Sell for the property taxes and the price of the last the houses usually are worth nothing in the condition they are currently in because the house are tear downs. With the lot size they could build something beautiful of value with still having a nice yard.
When this happens it's usually because the family can't afford to hire attorneys to gain the authority over the property to even move forward. And if we homeowners can't afford attorneys to prepare for what happens to our house in the event of our own deaths, it will happen to us too.
glad you left the flowers out front, nice touch.
That little neglected house looked SO much better. Everything was so sad. Such a sad story, and no one to come and take care of his house. Until you came along! Thank you so much for what you do, and I hope you didn't get a big rash!
Nice job, Spencer. Someone needs to reach out to Dawn for a sponsor.
I liked the video before I watched the video then I checked what time it was posted and found out it was 15min ago and its been viewed by over 2 thousand five hundred individuals . That’s how amazing your work and videos have become. Bringing smiles to the faces of many. Thank you
Glad your exposure was minimal, nice way to honor the man that passed.
When you smelled the mildew and stuff you should wear a mask. I know it is hard to do with what you are doing but it might help you in the long run. You are another of the great young men doing good things in this country. We need more people like you guys. Say hi to Mrs. SB too.
Those pretty peonies. They bloom even with neglect.
Back before the poison ivy was finally eradicated from my lawn, I used to get rashy from brushing past it. Benadryl is my friend in that case. You, sir, are solid gold. God bless.
SPRING is the worst time to contact poison ivy---it's so ALIVE and full of GROWTH----Power of its terrifying oils at its maximum.
Mechanics tend to use this stuff called barrier cream on our hands. Used oil and brake dust have carcinogens in them. It washes off with soap and water but keeps things from having direct contact with our skin. Might be a plan to use on your hands and arms as extra layer of protection.
I always think to myself, why don’t the neighbors pull together and take turns to help keep it up? You are awesome Spence! And your wife is a great support to you. Hugs from an old ‘lawn-ie’
Glad to hear you didn't get poison ivy reaction too badly. What an amazing job and a blessing to the neighborhood. Loved hearing the neighbor praise the Lord! LOL. 😅
I like the idea of the Muck Boots for my sons birthday next month. He is a garbage collector. The house looks great. You probably eliminated a rodent problem for the neighbors.
God bless you.
Spencer you do so much work! From edging, to trimming, shovelling, scraping, hauling fallen branches, garbage removal, plus more, and that’s not even mowing or blowing. I know that yard still had a lot of work left but you did so much, and at the risk of getting poison ivy. It looks 100% better, and I’m glad you left the flowers standing! You, Spencer, are an angel in disguise ♥️
Usually your videos are a huge break from anxiety, but I am also severely allergic to poison ivy and sometimes I get anxiety for you when there's a lot of it because I know how bad the reaction can be. Stay safe and healthy!
Bad smell from the house... Deceased animals inside ? Watched a lawncare video with a smell. Come to find out a squater passed inside the abandoned home... Stay SAFE 🙏🏼
Yeah, the neighbor said the homeowner had a wife that no one had seen. I kind of wondered if the smell might be the wife. A welfare check by the police might be a good idea.
Good idea for a wellness check. The neighbor lady he spoke to said his estranged wife came and took everything out of the house and never came back. (The lady im talking about ask if he was doing this for free and said God bless you)@miriamrighter1666
@@miriamrighter1666😂
Poison ivy, poison oak, sumac oils in the lungs are not friendly. I've seen lawncare guys wearing masks lately ... One NEVER EVER knows what they are mowing over... Another fine job Spencer 🇺🇸👍🏼🇺🇸
yeah, i was thinking about the fact he would probably breathe it in... :(
I seriously wish all of you guys on CZcams would wear masks especially when you're blowing Dusty ick out of the gutters. You never know what people empty out there or went bacteria could be growing.
What a transformation the garden has been through, the old man in heaven will be looking down on you and thanking you. It makes he neighbour hood look better. It stops squatters moving in. Superb job Spencer 🤟🏼✌️👍🥰
Thanks for honoring the previous owner and letting us be part of that process. Blessings.
A tick check is also good for this type of work. Great transformation and love the ending before and after shots.
So glad you didn't get the P.I. bad, because the yard looks great! I'm sure the neighbors are happy!
I love that there is a rose bush blooming on the property! Thanks for leaving it. 😀
SBMOWING philosophy: if yard needs "doing", then Spencer just "does it"! You are a walking, talking, mowing, trimming, edging, trash collecting, sanitizing equipment in a car wash Miracle Man. Thank you even though I don't live there or nearby. We viewers are in awe. 🙂💪💯✨️❤️🎉
Spencer THANK YOU for showing how best to clean equipment. I like others have allergies to mold and other living orgznisums and love to work in my garden. I am that 80 PLUS YEAR OLD LADY and get punctured all the time.❤❤❤❤❤
Hi, everyone! Please may we ALL remember to LIKE & SUBSCRIBE? Thank you! Easy to hit the "like" button as soon as the video starts.
Spencer demonstrates kindness.
I’m so happy you saved that peony! ☺️
Never told anyone this. I imitate Spencer saying “SB MOWING OUT” and diving out of the frame. I think it’s hilarious.
You are so courageous. Knowing how awful Poison Ivy is when you contract it, you still wanted to tackle this mountain of it and help the neighborhood. I am in awe. I kept thinking "You're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion" as you attacked your worst enemy. I definitely stayed till the end to applaud you. Thank You. 👍🤲
Your humor is on point, always puts a smile on my face!
Thank you!
Thank you for braving the dreaded poison ivy. You made a huge difference in this yard, and the neighbors appreciate you very much. Great video, too. Tell your mom and Mrs. SB, Happy Mother’s Day. ❤️
The back yard looked like a jungle, the front yard not so much, but the entire clean-up made the place look SO much better. Great job, Spencer. 👏👏🤗💯❤
Those pretty peonies. They bloom even with neglect
Why are these videos always so satisfying 😂
Because---he's doing KINDNESS in this world, and also, bringing some ORDER out of the CHAOS of neglected and abandoned homes.
I don't understand. Got something to do with dopamine.
Love how you doing it for the old man who is no longer here,, respect to you Spencer, in a big way ❤
At least he got a breathe of fresh air & seen his beautiful lawn before he wen't into the after life.
Went
Very nice! It's good to hear that you didn't get too much of a poison rash. You have a sweet wife to help you too!!! God bless ❤
The new stint of cleaning up abandoned homes is really nice- hopefully the city can take advantage of that and potentially get those homes either fixed up or demolished so that new housing can be built there. That land is valuable and it would be nice if someone has another place to put a roof over their head for either themselves, or also potentially a family.
It always amazes me when people know the owner or occupant of the house has died and they won’t take five minutes to mow the property to help the neighborhood look better. Thank God there are people like you around.
Love watching the transformations you make, thank you for leaving the beautiful peony in the front yard!
The parts with the most oils was probably under the mowing deck on the Blades !!! Use cold water to not open the pours on your epidural !!!
Pores
I suppose that's the difference between preparation and just a random encounter. A lot more poison ivy than he usually encounters, but he prepared for it and has his procedures in place for cleanup after. None of the preparations when you aren't expecting it and it can be a lot worse when you do encounter it.
So glad you didn't get PI too bad! Spencer, you are such a blessing to so many!!!❤
The guy who mows my lawn is a godsend. He goes above and beyond. I’m handicapped and my husband works full time. I should seriously pay him more but I can’t but I’m so getting him one of the I’m sexy and I mow it shirts. 😁😁
Awesome job Spencer!
Thanks!
Spencer, don't forget...you need to make sure you are wiping down the inside of your truck! The seats and especially the steering wheel. I would suggest you buy some cheap haz-mat overalls. And tape your wrist to keep your sleeves from riding up. Tape your sleeves to your gloves! You do really great work!
Thanks for sticking with it despite all the poison ivy!
You are very brave going into all that poison ivy. You are a great blessing keep up the great work.
What a miraculous transformation! It’s actually a cute little house. Hopefully someone can come in and buy it. Sad that a person can lose a house because of owing taxes on it. I think once a house is paid off you shouldn’t owe taxes on it anymore.
Praying that you don’t get too much of a rash from the poison ivy.
As someone who doesn’t react to poison ivy I shutter to think what you go thru. What a true trooper. ❤
Shudder
You’re spot on about the Muck Boots .. l totally love mine; they’re the BEST ! Nice clean-up today; that poor house was a wreck with all the broken up pavement. So terribly sad that these houses are left to rot for no good reason. You’d think that here in the US, we could do way better than this….it’s embarrassing…
Thats so nice of you to help like him ,you have a big Heart.God Bless you,🥰❤️🙏👍🏽
Spencer, first of all, great job you did! I am also very allergic to poison ivy and I wanted to tell you this to help. I keep a small bottle of Dawn and a bottle of water with me when I mow or weed eat. As soon as I get some on me, I immediately wash off… usually my hands and face. It will save you the misery of dealing with the terrible rash! I promise you won’t regret this tip! 😊
Next time, put some Manuka honey on those poison ivy skin breakouts. My son-in-law was a house painter and used it every time he ran into some.
Thank you for thinking about the person that passed, that was nice of you!
Mrs SB is so sweet to help you clean up everything. Great job. Prayers to the family.
Scary thought about bad odor coming from the house, is someone or something deceased in the home!!! Someone needs to check the inside of this home! Great job on the lawn! Thank you!!!
You're like the Energizer Bunny, you just keep going and going... What a great transformation on this yard Spencer. As usual you came through and made a silk purse from a sow's ear.
From South Africa : You've got a heart of gold. Be blessed.
You are the ultimate in professionalism and compassion all rolled into one great guy. You do FANTASTIC work!
2M subs! Congrats Spencer! I hope the CZcams checks keep rollin’ in and get bigger and bigger.
Yikes, that poisin ivy is nasty stuff! Thanks Spencer for making the sacrifice to clean up this yard!
The world is a better place with you in it. You are one awesome man. You work super hard for strangers. You never ask them for anything. What a great person. I know your Mom and Dad are so happy to see you succeed like this. Have a fantastic day.
I’ve always admired you but this sacrifice was really special! Thank you for caring so much! God bless you!
Thank you for the update, SB Mowing..!! Deeply touching tribute to a cherished neighbor, as we see this greatly skilled form of true kindness. Amazing skills and workmanship.
That yard looks 110% better!!!!❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯
You are such a blessing to so many people. Thank you for what you do.
Hello Spencer thank you such a great job you are doing God is smiling down at you and saying well done my son keep the videos coming love your channel 🙏🙏🥰🥰👍👍❤️❤️
He appreciates you. Made him smile
Another great job done on this property. Thank you , Spencer, for caring about your community.
I love SB mowing! keep up the great work and videos coming our way! God Bless and thanks for helping people out all the time!!
The city should reward such generosity with no expectations with perhaps tax exemption. Love the music!❤
I’m glad you are taking care of yourself. Thats important as we want you to continue mowing and doing videos. Love them all. That place looks so much better Way to go Spencer
Spencer you are such a an amazing person. The compassion that you have for others just touches me . God bless you and your wife for all that you do. Keep up the good work, until next time.
Great job Spencer and Happy Mother to all the mothers 🎉
