- I found this corner house that was getting super overgrown so I went to talk to the neighbor to get some more information. They directed me to another man a couple houses down that was good friends with the previous owner. He told me that he used to ride motorcycles with the homeowner but a few years ago he passed away. HE was actually helping to keep up with the lawn as the man’s daughter lives out of town and nobody would mow it. Well, now that he’s in his 80s he has had a hard time keeping up with it and it’s gotten out of control.

Another good job.... I think you should go to the Town Hall in these area, and Have a talk with the Mayor of the area, So him/her this Video of you mowing the sidewalk and Ask why the Sidewalks are done just across the intersection but The Grass got that high on a Town/city sidewalk by this House??? are you in another county and that is why it wasn't taken care of by the Town/city workers that get paid to do that stuff???
want some help mowing?
Sometime I get so tired watching you on the shovel (I could not do it)
There has to be some kind of a tool to make it easier.
Sad but true you are getting older. I can still do everything at 75 but it takes a little longer
Take care of yourself and family.
Midwest Magic Cleaning gave you a shout-out!
Who else really sits here and watches him the whole time.
🙋🏽♀me it so relaxing to watch.
Look what he found under all that dirt wow
🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
I do!
I do, it's so relaxing and I imagine the fresh cut grass when it's finished 😌
Im 78 and my oldest son lives with me and together we keep my yard up. When i pass he and my other son are to sell it and move on. From what ever they get from the sale he is to use that money to buy himself a place of his own. My home will not sit being taken over by nature.
Same, 68 here, the sons can do whatever they want, sell, and move on.
Then arrange to.transfer in trust. Otherwise the govt will take it.
@@louriz7488 I thought next of kin is automatically entitles unless a Will states otherwise. I guess the laws vary. I'm glad MD allows hand-written Wills.
@@DDD11239 ANYTHING should be Notarized, at a minimum.
@@DDD11239They don't vary that much. Lock it up in writing, not worth the risk. Be exact, or the state will take it, just as the other commenter said. Government is a machine without feeling.
If the man's daughter never intended to live in it I wonder why she didn't sell it. Having left it empty (and squatters) it would now be unsellable. My heart went out to the man's friend, who tried to keep it up for his late friend. The hard work you did for both the deceased and his friend warmed my heart.
😒sentimental value!
Thank you Spencer for these videos. My wife loves to mow our lawn (4 ac) and for the past 2 years has been sidelined with nerve damage in her legs and hasn't been able to mow. She found your videos on YT and has spent countless hours watching them. I guess she's mowing through watching you. Unfortunately for me, when I'm out mowing and trimming she will come out and tell me 3-4 times "That's not how Spencer would do that.". Lol. Thanks again for putting a smile on my wife's face.
Bahahaha ❤
I love that, and the don't really mind,bless you. From Tasmania Australia ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
True. Spencer edges with a corded wacker, which shows immense bravery.
It's always these sweet corner lots that fall into disrepair and neglect. I don't know if the inside is trashed, but it seems to me that this house is already set up for someone with mobility issues to live there. I hate to see properties in nice neighborhoods languishing like this, so am hoping a local realtor sees the potential of this place and works to get it back on the market. Spencer, you did an outstanding job on this one! And kudos to the neighbor who kept it maintained as long as he could in the memory of his friend.
It does seem the corner lots are seen more on these yard channels.
I don't know if corner houses cost more then the others. That's probably why they get left abandoned
You conceded to the “corner lot curse” and once again emerged victorious!
he is a good man
I don't think that Spencer has met a yard project yet that he hasn't been able to tackle and come out victorious
@@spudnado Minus poison ivy batches, but I can't blame him. Getting poison ivy twice in 1 month motivated me to completely turn my lawn into a wildflower meadow. (Thank God for Prednisone).
Some of the stories of these houses you so wonderfully clean up show that we older folks need to be careful about what we leave to our children. It may be a burden to them. We may think they’re an asset but the ties to us may make them a burden they’re reluctant to get rid of.
Then we should leave it to habitat for humanity. At least someone will enjoy it and not feel as you say, burdened.
@@rosemariemello6675 right sell as fast as we can, live high on the hog, then move into a golf community where they mow, even replace light bulbs, and make all the meals. Live happily 😊 if I could just get one more out the door, that is
@@rosemariemello6675 Great idea.

This gentleman had a very nice property. Thank you for giving it some love. Well done the neighbor friend for showing love too. Great job everyone.
So, the owner's daughter is paying the taxes every year but doesn't want to sell or maintain the house. That makes no sense. Nice work Spencer.
Maybe she has children in school wherever she’s living and can’t afford to move yet but plans to when her youngest graduates high school.
So it doesn't get vandalized again she should contact veterans affairs, they could put some one in that needs it, habitat for humanity. Something rather than letting it get more run down
Taxes are probably only a few hundred dollars a year on this property. A lot of people also don't want to deal with the finality of selling the home their parents died in. Maybe she grew up there and just doesn't want to let it go even though she'll never use it.
If you inherit a house in the US and you don't want to live there yourself.
Why not sell it, instead of it falling into disrepair or being taken over by the homeless
@@HunterTN Taxes could be a few thousand dollars.
you definitely blessed his friend who took care of it for so long great job spencer
Now that was a covered driveway… would have never thought a carport was under all that! Great job 👏
One thing that I really appreciate is his understanding how to use his equipment to his advantage. That one parking area was so full of dirt grass and junk instead of him laboring trying to use just a shovel, he used his big mower to chop up and get rid of most of it. I think a few of these guys just laboring and laboring with your weed eaters, doing a half the yard, or hauling off branches, one limb at a time.
I know not everyone is really high on him but this guy is the McDonald’s of lawn restoration, efficient, you know what are you going to see and it’s always gonna be good!
I had no idea there was concrete under all that. The way the growth had exploded, I would have bet on a former vegetable garden.
You made that sad little house look happy again. Great job.😊
Now we all know who is hardest worker on the block! Thank Spencer.
how many love spencers'work ?meeeeeee
M3
No. He always leaves tons of dead grass on the lawn.
@@dorianmorton67 So? The owners are the ones who let the grass go to Hell. Most lawns SB works need a complete sod turnover, regardless.
Good Morning Spencer! It’s not a proper Friday morning until I am watching you over my morning coffee here in the Pacific Northwest! I eagerly watch through the entire video so that I’m able to see the complete transformation! Thank you for all you do as you help to improve these neglected and unloved properties! Wishing you a very pleasant day and continued good health! 💕
I here in the Pacific Northwest with my morning coffee watching the video as well.
I hope the daughter can take a decision on this one. It is very tough to face memories of loved ones passed. God bless you Spencer, for helping .
The satisfaction and gratification i get from watching these is amazing considering Spencer is the one doing all the hard work lol
Happy friday and happy fathers day...lets get to mowing
That's alot of work!! It looks amazing! I'm sure the neighbors appreciate what you've done. You are a blessing to those around you.
I'm on chemo every 4 weeks. I've managed my trimming to know when it's time to clean up the yard. I watched my 94 year old neighbor on her walker go into her shed & come out with her lawn mower & do her thing. I've offered many times & she says no . Her yard is almost 3/4 acre & she keeps it nice. She even trims . Amazing lady ... ♥️🙏🏼♥️
Thank you for all the fine work you do for the community, Spencer. Looks great!
I would have never guessed that was a big piece of cement slab or parking; Wow! Great job! What a great way to start my weekend.
Yes, I couldn't figure it out either.
Me too. Was wondering why the sidewalk was so wide and close to the house. Realized once Spencer reached the tree that it was a driveway or something.
That's because there was a 1 car garage there at one time.
You can see the footprint of it.
Great job Spencer surprised nobody has stolen the boat on the garden.
I always love the before and after you can definitely tell you have been there, awesome job.
I just don’t understand why the daughter doesn’t sell this property!! It’s a beautiful lot. Someone would buy it. Instead she’s just going to let it sit and rot. Nice job Spencer!
Happens all the time! I've never understood it, either! Why pay taxes (highly unlikely) and just let it go to trash?
This is truly heartwarming to see. The dedication and effort you put into reviving this yard not just shows your skill but also your big heart. Thank you for sharing this, it really brightens my day!
Thanks for cleaning the ADA Curb Ramp. Easier now for wheelchairs, walkers, canes, and seeing eyes dogs to use. Those ramps are federally mandated and the responsibility of the city as are the gutters that are part of the storm water diversion to the curb and drop inlets.
I can’t believe that the kids are hanging onto that house for a while and letting her rundown and I just saw one of the comments said she’s paying taxes on. It doesn’t make sense denying the burden that house could have life again in it. I think the father would be much happier if someone was in it and living in it and laughing and playing and all that stuff Well thanks again and God bless for doing all that work💖💖💖🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This looks so much better, and I'm sure the neighbor is happy with what you've done with his friend's property!
Spencer you do such a fine job giving back to the community. I praise you for all your hard work and dedication 🙏🙏🙏. Can’t wait till next Friday 👍👍👍
That "Bad Boy" Mower is something else!
You do such a great job, just make sure you don't burn yourself out😰
I literally wake up before 6 am here in CA and wait for your notification, Spencer! I’ve read a lot of comments on how they look forward to Friday mornings and I’m one of them. I guess it’s your overall content that make me do it. Being in healthcare for 45+ years catering mostly to the elderly population, we kind of have the same mission in life! Stay very healthy, Spencer, as you have many more years of service to provide to those in need! Keep up the good work 👏👏👏👏👏
I live in the UK and watch Spencer’s videos when I go to bed, to relax. I can’t wait till Friday nights! I ❤️the videos. Strangely calming. Carry on the good work. 🥰🦼
She. In. The psych ward. I. Think
Looks so much better. Does anyone else think Spencer looks like he really enjoys using the stand mower? 😅
Excellent work on such a large out of control property. To bad the daughter doesn’t live close by. Hopefully after your transformation, she can sell. It has lots of potential. Thanks for putting in the work Spencer. I’m sure the neighbors appreciated it. Stay safe, healthy,hydrated, happy, productive,& blessed.💯👍🏾😀🫶🏾💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
Great job Spencer, as always! I noticed a school across the street, and I am sure they appreciate your work. If I were a parent and my kids had to walk to school by that every day, I would be so grateful for your job. The whole neighborhood will look so much better now. 👍👏💛
There's a lot of corner lots being abandoned. It seems like you're cleaning them all up nicely. Great job!
I’m always amazed at the transformations. Great work as usual. I’m equally amazed at the homes left to family that remain abandoned and uncared for. 😢
Great job, Spencer, as always. I like how you chat with neighbors beforehand to get a little backstory on these properties.
Spencer you always seem to amaze me with the work that your and your generosity of giving back to the community. God Bless You & Wifey always. It's so unfortunate that SO many homes are just abandoned here in the USA .....and yet our Veterans Personal go without Homes in this country that is supposed to be the greatest in the world!
Hi Spencer! This was really quite a beautiful transformation... thanks for all you do for so many people. Happy father's day to all the daddy's out there!❤
It is boarded up but still says squatters apply. Thank you SB, it looks absolutely wonderful so much better, hope it stays that way. Looking fwd to the next one, blessings from Australia 🇦🇺❤️🙏👏🤗
It will be back the same in a few weeks, that's why it got like that in the first place?
dont hold back spencer you can say you like your work very satifying to see the transformation in every project you do !!
From a haunting house to a dream house
Hello Spencer,love your positive energy and attitude about uncut lawn.Thank you for having heart.God Bless ❤
The story is a feel good story with a friend doing what they can and as always thank you for a WOW transformation
What a nice job you did for free! The home owners' daughter should be very pleased.
Happy Friday! You’re amazing!
11:00 So many makeover yards have a cement slab for a long-gone garage. But this yard has TWO!
I never dreamed so much concrete was hidden underneath all this overgrowth. I just waiting to see a snake crawl out under that boat. Great job as usual Spencer. 👍🏻 ❤
WOW! Great transformation, Spencer! The equipment you use takes a beaten and continues to destroy the overgrowth. Amazing!
It’s too bad when homeless people move in they just can’t care for the places, but they seem to wreck them. I would love this sweet little home. Your bringing love back in to this place,…bless you.❤
36:42 I believe that what you're pointing to is the old garage pad which the driveway is leading to. The concrete blocks you refer to were probably the base of the walls.
This is Tommy and Bonnie we watch you on CZcams constantly all the time you do real good work p and keep up the good work we prescribed to you all the time
I noticed so many of these homes are corner lots. Really big. Harder & more expensive to maintain. Great job. God bless ya!
Great work, we need people like you in England.
Poor house! Too bad no one eant to take care of it!! Thank you Spencer!!
Why waste your energy passing judgment on people!?
Thanks, SB , for another great video!
Yes Yes, it is Friday again so guess who...?
Greatings from The Netherlands with no option than a very big respect for the result and your endless joy doing this.
But probably more that you want to help people and the community.
Stay save and have a nice day...
Regards, Paul
My son and I look forward to SB Friday every week! My son said, “Now the kids can walk on the sidewalk to the school across the street!” As a mom, I’m usually stressed out about the sped up shots, thinking you’ll hurt yourself 😮 haha but that got us wondering… have you ever done a bloopers reel? Hopefully not getting hurt (!) but I do appreciate when you share things like the edger blade being bent or spilling when refilling… makes me feel better about all the silly mistakes I make ❤
Great job, Spencer!!! Looks much better for the neighborhood!
I think you have outdone yourself on this one. It was crazy tall and the driveway was so overgrown you could not tell it was there. Great job, as always, Spencer. God bless you and your family!
I just don't understand people today... their are so many people who would love to have a home and appreciate it. To just let it sit and rot what a waste. But bless you for your Hard work, I'm sure the other home owners in the area appreciate it. THANK YOU!❤
Looks great, Spencer! As always, you do great work for the community.
Another awesome transformation! You're such a great person helping out people who need it and making the neighborhood more pleasing to look at.🙂👍✌️
Woo hoo SB Mowing Friday🎉
That is a huge property, amazing work!
Beautiful job, Spencer! I'm surprised there weren't a ton of violations on this property. You are amazing, Spencer.
Great job, Spencer, as always. The neighborhood can be proud once again. No one living nearby should have to look at that for years.
Hey Mr Spencer best to you and your lovely wife. Thanks for putting the Spencer touch on that lawn 👏 👍 this one is needed it. You bring out the best in something so unmanageable. Stay safe and healthy.
Right on time...
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the support!
I can see why his friend no longer tends to the property. It's a large lot and with him being 80 I think you said I can understand it being difficult for him.
I really appreciate you taking the time to show us the before and after shots.
Another fine job by an excellent young man!
curious to know why so many properties are not sold after yrs just left it doesn't make sense as they just deteriorate
If the homeowner did not leave a will, the state has a procedure to follow. If no heirs are located within the prescribed time, the state can take over the property. In my state, this takes a minimum of 10 tears.
@@vernss3092I know it's a typo. But I find it hilarious to think that it takes 10 people 1 single tears for the city to do something XD
Like a tip jar that goes into helping abandoned homes XD
You would think the city or county would see if there are any family members who could take care of it
snd if not clean it up & auction it off.
@Cyclone74 Especially with the homelessness rate. Honestly, if it is clearly abandoned, let the squaters be there. They'll take better care of it than the rats and other wildlife that just go and have babies in it
I just ordered an SB mowing hat!
Because I am a huge fan
I think you are the best lawn service on CZcams
I rewatch your videos constantly almost every day
Keep up the good work
I bought lawn lady and grass daddy shirt 🎉
Excellent work! You seem to have a thing for corner lots--more edging!!! (grin)
Love What Your Doing! Keep Doing It!
Nice sir
You are amazing, don’t stop and God bless you for helping people and neighborhoods.
It sounded like the relatives of his friend were not appreciative of his efforts so you can’t blame him for giving up on a lost cause. I’m sure seeing the property and house sitting there in total neglect has to be upsetting to the memory of his departed friend. Once again it’s Spencer to the rescue to get things tidied up for the neighborhood. You are a real blessing as you go about your mission to help out those in need. Great job pealing back the layers and getting things in shape. I believe that back drive which was edged with cinder block was probably an old floor for a past detached garage
You wonder why she does not sell up..
Yeah
Spencer, I love what you do, but you need to be wearing an N95 mask. Protect your lungs, please!
I also mow lawns what does that protect you from? Im honestly curious
@@REALSTEEL8009 A little research on your part will prove that fine particulates are inhaled and WILL damage the lungs. It won't happen overnight, but just like asbestos, over time you will have respiratory issues. They are easier to prevent than treat.
A mask does nothing especially mowing yards get real the mask does nothing for any desease
HUGE TRANSFORMATION! 😅 Those corner lots where u live r bigger than we have in Oregon.
I saw Mac from "Midwest Magic Cleaning" wearing an SB mowing tee shirt recently...
So much better, I’m sure the neighbors really appreciate it. Nice work and way to go Spencer
Spencer, the yard looks amazing, I know the neighbors are happy you cleaned the yard up, it's not an eyesore in the neighborhood. God bless you Spencer, God bless your Family. See you on the next video.
Great job Spencer! For whatever reasons the daughter neglected the property, we get to watch a great lawn transformation.
SB*, looks like you gave landed in the correct place again, what a nice chap giving you insight, I'm looking forward to the out come
You make me, wish I was young again. I wish I could help someone like you do. You Rock
Excellent job as always. I love watching you meticulously transform neglected lawns. It makes me want to do a better job with my own lawn.
Right across the street from a school. You've made this busy area much safer for everyone. Your method of working is so efficient! Doing a section at a time makes the big picture seem less daunting. It's fascinating to see.
Thank you Spencer for being a blessing for so many. It just takes one person to care and to show kindness.
I'm glad you help these people out 👍
Hi Spenser I havent seen you for a while, but I see that you are still working hard on these abondoned lots. It breaks my heart to see the waste of these homes. You have such a big heart and I wish you the best.
Now that you got it looking good, this would be the perfect time for the daughter to get out from under it. Before the structure itself starts to breakdown even more. Right now, it's sellable. Nice job Spencer! And you probably helped lots of kids get to school more safely by clearing the sidewalk and debris.
These houses have a lot of property! Glad you did it 360° for 100% satisfaction! Great work again SB! 🌿👍
Super Buddy "SB" at it again! Thank you and great job!
