Neighbor hasn't SEEN the sidewalk like THIS since 2007

- I saw how overgrown this sidewalk was and had to pull over to knock on the homeowners door. The homeowner's son answered and I offered to clean it up completely free for them. They said I could and I came back first thing the next morning to start. Not only does this type of work help to increase the curb appeal of the home, but it allows the sidewalk to be more accessible for the neighbors and for people that need it.

Great work Spencer! I use a cane for walking and it's folks like you that make life easier! May good karma find it's way to your door!

New subscriber and been watching your videos this week.
if i was living in America i would do this job for sure.😄 you only need water powerwasher machine for complete fun.
Spencer, I've been waiting for your latest vedio. You can't load them fast enough for me. Keep up the great job, or job's 😃
When you do a yard makeover, it helps that family. When you do a sidewalk makeover it benefits the entire community. Great job. 🥰
Yes! Thank you!
@@psn64sat63 - It varies from town to town. Some towns 100% own the sidewalks, land and all. And most of them do a decent job maintaining them. Other towns will put sidewalks on the homeowners land whether they want them there or not. This essentially makes your land a 'public' thoroughfare, and those towns usually also demand that the homeowners maintain them.
In jusrisdictions where it snows, there are towns that fine the property owner for every day they don't clear the snow and ice. Imagine shoveling a couple hundred feet of sidewalk, then having a plow bury it again! In many places, people who slip and fall on 'your' sidewalk can sue you. In fact there are people who make a living doing exactly that.
@@psn64sat63 As you said, it all depends upon where you live. The expectation is, the sidewalk, your driveway and the apron ARE the individual homeowner's responsibility. Point of fact, the sidewalk in front of my neighbor's home and in front of my sister's home is beginning to crack due to a tree planted by the city we live in. When the walkway began to get cracks due to tree roots, an inspector from the city said if it got any worse, they (the homeowners) would need to replace the walkway. My sister opined, if I didn't plant the tree and I can't remove the tree, why am I responsible for the sidewalk cracking due to this tree? It was reiterated she would need to replace the sidewalk if it got any worse.
I agree, the homeowner should have been taking care of the sidewalk and should have been made to clean this up. I do my own grass cutting, edging and trimming with basic homeowner tools; a battery operated weed eater, an electric weed eater, an electric grass/leaf blower, and a gas push mower. I don't have high end tools so I have to stay on top of my game. (Obviously I can't use my electrified blower, weed eater in the rain or if the ground is wet.)
@@psn64sat63 I just wrote a thank you, as someone who relies on smart crutches, and with a sister in an electric wheelchair. Even as a mom, out pushing my son in his pushchair, I would have had to go into the road to get around that. He is doing a great service to the community by doing these makeovers. It makes such a difference to me personally, because it only takes a couple of millimetres change under the outside of my foot and I dislocate my ankles. My sister and I have a genetic disease called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (type 2 & 3) and it is very difficult for either of us to move around when the sidewalks are like this!
Spencer, my sister and I have a genetic disease called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and I walk using smart crutches, though at the moment I use my baby son’s pushchair to walk with, and my sister uses an electric wheelchair. I just want to say, on behalf of the less-able people in the community, THANK YOU so much. That sidewalk would have been impassable for anyone in a wheelchair, on crutches, or indeed pushing any children along in prams/pushchairs etc. Especially with that weed tree growing right out across it. Without your work, we would have to travel on the road, and that is more dangerous by far. I really hope you get to read this and realise just how grateful I am, as I’m sure all users of the sidewalks you clear are!
Sorry about your syndrome! God bless you and your sister 🙏
In Australia it's the councils job to maintain gutters and side walks, sorry for you all this fellow is a angel
@lilypilsworth my sister, brother and I also suffer from the same connective tissue disorder, EDS and SS..we are also truly grateful to Spenser for these cleanups ❤
@@shirleyprobyn2405 well at some point in our country it was the the cities job as well. But I guess somewhere along the way that particular ordinance got moved to file thirteen and now we can cite the homeowner. That’s what happens when you cut budgets. You can’t afford to do what you are supposed to do. It’s a sad state of affairs for people. Many don’t have these tools. And many have no idea how to use them. Sounds like you might have another customer down the street.
@@chriswhitley3283and by making it the homeowner's problem The Powers That Be get two significant wins (1) further criminalization of poverty, (2) the only recourse for neighbors who need the sidewalk is to report one another to the city. So the community - who could organize to try and force change - remain divided.
Once again, I'm impressed. When a guy (or anyone for that matter) bites off more than they THINK they can chew, then, chews right through it anyway, shows character: Dedication, commitment, perseverance and maturity. Thanks.
Thank you so much! That means a lot Paul
Couldn't have said it better!!!!!!!
Me either! He is an amazing human being and maybe if we had more people like him the world might not have so much violence and hatred in it!
Absolutely a blessing for the home owner but especially for the neighborhood. 🎉
This sidewalk is amazing! Thank you Spencer!
I'm struck by the selfishness of the homeowners who manicure their back lawn but let the sidewalks get to that state. No bueno. You are an inspiration and, hopefully, showed these homeowners what they SHOULD be doing themselves on a regular basis.
Not even the sidewalk so much, as those are usually the city's responsibility, but what looked like the last year's leaves could have been raked up.
My dad told me when I was a kid that even though the sidewalks are the cities responsibility to repair the grass and 'clean up' is the homeowner's responsibility
I know this is extremely hard work but I love to see when you’re shoveling the grass off the sidewalk! The change is 🤩 amazing.
Moist
Congratulations, I'm the 69th person to like your comment.
Thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoy it!
Zoowie! For some reason, that side walk reminds me of a clogged artery. Now, the energy can flow through the neighborhood!
Absolutely haha
That was a HUGE job from a completely unusable sidewalk for the community that you have once again uncovered for their passage! Awesome work, Spencer!!! 🙌
No stone left unturned. What a detailed sidewalk clean up. God bless your community service.
Thank you so much Janet!
Who could have imagine that a sidewalk would have taken so much hard work. Your dedication showed when shoveling those patches of grass and using your heavy duty edger. Well done.
I agree, very well done. If I was an able-bodied person, I would feel so guilty being inside my house while somebody is working so hard on my property. I would’ve been out there helping him or just do it myself.
Homeowner looks like they used the sidewalk as a permanent dumping ground for all their yard waste. That makes this operation a cleanup from their laziness
Thank you so much!
@@JenJen0582 that’s the point of a service though. Paying someone to do something for you. Like going to restaurant. 🤦♂️
15 years?... You took 6 hours to do this... How could this home owner, not find a few minutes each week over all that time, to properly take care of this sidewalk? Shameful. Some communities can even fine you for restricting access to public sidewalks... Great Job! Thank You.
100%. That homeowner had enough time to keep his own lawn mostly clean, but used the sidewalk as a straight dumping ground
@@bakerboat4572 Because he doesn't GAF about anything but himself.
@@sheiladawg1664 thats a bold assumption to make. how do u know?
@@johne3735 Really?
Do you think everyone else on that street ignores their responsibilities and 'lets the city take care of it' ?
What a lame empty excuse.
No, THEY CARE about their neighborhood and how their actions impact others.
They don't live in a bubble and make excuses for laziness.
I'd even go so far that they liked the look of the neighborhood when they moved in, then they lazily trash the place for everyone else.
Some people have self respect which translates into respect for others.
Some do nothing other than simply take take take.
Which are you?
@@sheiladawg1664 i said nothing about letting the city take care of it. I asked how did u know the homowner doesnt give a fuck about anyone but themselves from watching a 30 min vid.
It is unfortunate they will just let it go back to the way it was. Have you ever thought about doing a follow-up video on some of your past jobs like these?
Spencer, your awesome and a gentleman. You can tell you take pride in your work.
Even just once amounts to a lot. I would take pride in knowing a made a difference for that lawn once upon a time.
I've never voiced my opinion with sidewalks as a handicapped individual... it infuriates me to see them full of debris, and grass. That's the only avenue I can use besides the road with my chair...... HOME OWNWRS, please keep them clean and accessible for me and my fellow chair users
I agree! My suggestion: complain to the city. It is really an impediment to everyone! Even people pushing strollers! Here it is the responsibility of the homeowner/property owner to keep the sidewalks clear. Check it out my friend.👍🏻
@Figment I now live on 30 acres.... away from city life. My home is now ADA compliant, my areas - exterior wise are set up for me, and my chair for accessibility ..... I just dread going into the city for any thing....
I wish more people would take care of them for this exact reason!
I agree with you. About 12 years ago I needed to temporarily use a wheelchair. I looked at the world in a whole new way after realizing the things that handicapped people have to endure daily. That taught me a huge lesson and I am a huge advocate for handicapped people. My apartment building did not have a handicap parking space so after I got done with them, they got one. Anywhere I see without handicap parking or improper accessibility, I make my phone calls and things do change. As for sidewalks, I think the city should be more on top of them being maintained, especially for handicapped people. The city should give them a warning and if they don’t clean up their sidewalk, the city should do it and charge the homeowner.
@@danajhasalvegas5819 you are living my dream life. I was raised in the city but I felt like I was a country girl at heart. Enjoy your beautiful property!
Something our housekeeping dept. taught me at work was put a bunch of new trash bags in the bottom of your bin so when you fill one the new one is handy. Great job SB
Good tip! Thank you for watching!
Great work, Spencer!👍🏻💚💚💚
Homeowners can’t get away with that here, they are responsible for the sidewalks and parking strip. If they don’t keep it clear, the job is bid out, they don’t pay, the property is liened.🤷🏻♀️You did that community and homeowner a great service.💚💚
It shouldn't be the homeowners job to clear a PUBLIC sidewalk the City should be out there maintaining instead of lining their officials pockets with tax payer money. Wherever you are that is shitty policy they have forcing the work on someone just because they live next to it.
@@Mr.Sequiro yep, you’re right about that.
That’s exactly how it should be handled everywhere. Some of these people truly could have kept up with their responsibilities. I know there are some who physically or financially can’t, but those that can should be held accountable. Overgrown sidewalks really can be dangerous for people trying to navigate them.
@@Mr.Sequiroactually a really great point I hadn’t thought of.
Such a nice job! I stopped walking on some sidewalks years ago. Too embarrassing for me. I’d trip over lifted slabs or pine straw and fall. This makes things safer for the community and helps out this homeowner who had a beautiful yard.
Thank you for watching!
It would be nice if some of the able-bodied homeowners you helped out were out there beside you helping you with THEIR yard. I live alone, work full-time and if someone out of the goodness of their heart offered to help me out in anyway you better believe I'd be right next to them giving them a hand. Great job!!!
Glad you pointed this out, I thought the same.
Obviously why these lazy homeowners jobs look the way they do.
And I don't believe for a second they are ALL incapable.
Agree
Amen 🙏
@@guckfoogle1096 AGREED! 👍
Plenty of elders, and disabled, and financially broke homeowner's cannot do these things. Please don't judge unless you know the situation. You can always go to work for the man.
WOW - You do excellent work ! ! !
WOW - Just WOW
The neighbors must really notice and appreciate the difference that your labor and expertise has produced.
Thank you very much!
Spencer, nice work and you have been working like crazy. 5:59, that is such a huge change. The sidewalk reappears, the edges are back, the fenceline clean. Wow. Deterioration can certainly creep-up over time. I think that is something like fifteen years and you can see how much dirt settled, grass crept in, etc. A neat, safe place to walk again is a great accomplishment. First Class work, the edges are back, the visual is back. You cleared the gutter and figured-out how to handle all the accumulated leaves.
Thank you so much Robert! I appreciate the comment.
Lawn creep is inevitable due to the overfill for compaction. The best way to slow it down is to get you grade down and decrease pitch of slope to hardscape about a mowers width wide. You can cut the sod, remove however many inches of dirt, and then put the sod right back then water it daily until the sod bonds with your new substrate level.
@@marklar7551 best way to maintain it this to clean up yourself. The owners probably didn’t notice the difference.
@@jonroth7342 actually not having it creep is the best way.
Wow! A gift to the whole surrounding neighborhood!
Spencer, that was a lot of hard work! Looks amazing!
Stay safe and well…
Thanks, you too!
Truly amazing once again Spencer. You know the grass is bad when you have to use the edger ON the sidewalk just to loosen it up. Inlove how the neighbors came out and thanked you. Great job!
Thanks 👍
Great job!! That was hard work! Betters the neighbors and entire community! Now you need a cool dip in a pool!! Thanks for making the world a more beautiful place, one yard at a time!
Thanks 👍
I recently found your channels, and I love them. My favorite things to watch are yard cleanups and power washing steps, walkways, patios, and driveways.
This guy is so kind in. giving free mowing service. Lets support his vlogs SB Mowing and SB Pressure Washing. He deserves to be recognized for his good deeds.
You truly are a inspiration. Most young people don't understand why a person enjoys hard work. I'm 67 no not in great health but I still work because that's what caring people do.
Thank you so much!
Absolute legends doing this work!!
Aww thank you!
3:40 I see the pros also utilize the "standing on the shovel" technique. It has served me well.
"If the shovel doesn't have foot rests it's not a real shovel" my friend who works in landscaping.
I was happy to see that not the entire sidewalk had to be dug up. I bet that was a relief for you to see as well! Great work. One home at a time, you are transforming this world and are an inspiration to us all!
I subscribed because your channel is therapy for me. Watching and listening to the sounds calms my anxieties. It's wonderful that you don't play any music. Even your voice when you talk is soothing. Also the fact that your videos have some length to them gives me time to bring myself into a calmed state, thank you so much, you help people with their yards and walkways, you also help so many others virtually.
Same here. I like to watch an episode with an edible about an hour before I plan on going to bed. Either watch Spencer or video of rebuilding old tools.
Such compacted and tough ground to work with. You are such a hard worker! One sidewalk/yard/driveway at a time and all amazing! 💚
It was super hard!!! One at a time for sure
You are a dedicated man of great integrity! God bless you and your family! 🙂🙏🕊️
Thanks Spencer, your videos have motivated me to clean my own overgrown garden. I have no mobility issues, just a perfect storm of laziness and procrastination so thank you.
Keep up the hard work, this was a huge transformation 👏
I love watching all the weeds, grass, overgrown bushes, trash, and fallen tree branches get cleaned up. It brings a sense ofvrenewed life to that property, the neighborhood it's in and essentially the whole city due to better storm drainage. It's a comminity service that is a must. Thank you for helping so many communities.
What an amazing job, you did what the city is supposed to do, to keep the sidewalk clean so people don’t have to walk on the streets. 👏👏👏
You are so right!!!
Wrong. In most if not all cities and towns the home owner is responsible for keeping the sidewalks directly in front of and around the property. This includes snow removal and over growing lawns. Cities and townships are only responsible for repairs if the cement cracks or erodes
Taj is right. Here I. Wisconsin the homeowner is responsible to keep the sidewalk clear, clean and shoveled and salted in the winter or the city can fine you.
Same in Australia it’s the home owners responsibility but it’s frustrating when the town doesn’t maintain areas adjacent to their own assets like sporting fields, bridges and parks
I wish the city would do it here haha
WOW just WOW!!!!😊 I have never seen someone do the job you just did by yourself and in one day, it's beyond incredible! Great job👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great job, that homeowner keeps a nice yard and should be ashamed of their indifference to the sidewalk.
You are such an inspiration to watch. Thank you for your hard work, your kindness to strangers, and your overall attitude toward helping out your community. As a disabled person, I can only imagine how what you do for so many less fortunate, means to them. In this particular job, I would have loved to have seen the fenceline transformed with some weed-eating on the other side of the fence, but I understand the homeowner didn't want you in the backyard. Still an amazing job. May God continue to bless you and your work. And congratulations on your upcoming wedding in July. May you both have many happy years together.
Even though this is Texas and blowing dust/dirt - this sidewalk didn't grow a 3 inch grass layer (let alone all of the tree leafs) on it overnight. This is years and years of nothing being done ... much like the rest of the other vids showing cleanups and sprucings of former home owners that once took great pride in their lots, lawns, landscaping, driveway, sidewalks, etc.
@@KarolynHerreraBookEditor yes it’s city property but the nature strip is the responsibility of the homeowner to maintain. Plus, homeowners shouldn’t allow their plantings to overrun the city’s property.
@@KarolynHerreraBookEditor ps - you can tell that the homeowner knows this because the nature strip wasn’t overgrown. They just didn’t care / have energy / didn’t think about cleaning up the sidewalk in all those years.
@@KarolynHerreraBookEditor Too many cities going back and forth homeowner - then city maintenance, then back to homeowner but city controls any cutting or pruning of trees and other city council snafu laws. But homeonwer responsible to city if tree fails or hits someone. Total BS.
Nice job Spencer, love the way it looks now after a good cleaning up, and to think of the appeal that is hidden because someone is a bit lazy about doing a little bit extra when mowing the yard
I wish more people cared about their neighbors and neighborhood. It's refreshing to see others care for one another. Great job.
Spencer I know you do this out of the kindness of your heart . But don’t let people take advantage of your kindness. You also put your heart and soul into everything that you do. I am honored to be able to watch your videos It proves that there’s one human being left in this world.
It's amazing that "the city" (the council) doesn't look after the sidewalks (footpaths). They grind down steps where the concrete has moved to ensure no-one trips and its safe over here in Australia. From the road in to the property boundary is "council property" and is the responsibility of council to maintain. Having said that, most people do mow this area & consider it something they should mow. It does mean you can't plant trees or gardens in that area.
That's what I was thinking, here in Canada this work would be done by the "town workers" and would never get to this stage of being so overgrown. Same goes for the first 6' of any property from the road; its the homeowners responsibility to mow and shovel snow, but they don't own the first 6' of land, this is so they can always build sidewalks etc if they need to. Interesting stuff
In most places in the US, the responsibility (and liability) for the sidewalk lies with the facing property owner. It’s dumb, and means most sidewalks are terribly in maintained.
You should see the condition of the sidewalks and roads where I live. We joke that it’s a season. Pothole season. So many tires lost 😞 so many rims effd
Agreed. Our local municipal government takes responsibility for sidewalk maintenance. Homeowners are only responsible for snow removal in winter (with hefty fines if you don't clear it within the first few hours of a snowfall - which would be impossible with sidewalks such as the one shown here.) Otherwise sidewalk maintenance is paid for through property taxes.
I've watched several SB Mowing sidewalk clearing videos, and am always shocked with how unkempt they are allowed to become in the State(s) where SB shoots his videos. That would definitely violate Property Standards bi-laws up here.
I have to believe it is a result of an aversion to paying taxes because cities elsewhere in the world are apparently better funded to maintain their public spaces.
@@pow_dunx true. Every city I know of it’s the homeowners responsibility for maintaining the looks. It’s also the homeowners responsibility to call to get it fixed should it be broken up. Most people do not realize they are paying extra taxes for the sidewalks it’s comes under property improvement and many times the city has to post this if they are going to build sidewalks in a residential area because it increases taxes
Such a great job, now people can use the walkway. Make sure you drink a lot of water! 👍
Hello Mr. SB, I've been watching your videos for a week now, I enjoy so much all of the work you've done. I am just so happy to see a kind person like you who has a heart to do a free mowing. May God bless your heart and I hope you can help more people. 😊 Take care and stay safe. 😊😊
That sidewalk was a total mess, but it looks fantastic now! God bless you,Spencer. You help so many people. Young and old. ❤
Outstanding job! It seems like the cities would be financially better off to clean and maintain sidewalks. This kind of overgrowth can damage concrete over time, especially in areas where there is freezing and thawing. Cheaper to maintain than repair and replace.
Absolutely agree! But I doubt they would even consider replacing it
Fabulous transformation. You obviously put a lot of hard work into this. Nice work Spencer.
A great job. Helping the neighborhood is awesome. Thanks again for always going above and beyond in your transformations.
Hi Spencer, Wow what a difference on the sidewalk, Good Job, now all the neighbors can use the wide sidewalk & be safe when walking it!! The edging makes it look very sharp & clean for everyone! Re cutting the grass & trim by the fence from all the leaves & taking out the tree that was hanging over the sidewalk is another great improvement! Wow you really got dirty & it was a long process, but everything looks so Great!! I love all the work you do & makes everything look so good!! You as well have a Great weekend, stay safe & take care Love from Rantoul, Illinois
kiddo you doing amazing job keep up the great work, very detailed . Your videos are very satisfying to watch I love to see the transformation after you're done God bless you!!✝️🙏 All the way from Madelia Minnesota to you.... have a very blessed day and a great weekend!
It looks fantastic! Great for the homeowner and great for the community.
Thank you!
I’ve watched nearly all your videos and wanted to say YOU are the best at lawn care and giving back.
Thank you for what you do, Spencer!❤
Love your videos.
I just want to say thankyou. You brought back a memory that I had buried away along time ago. And yes here goes another one of those stories.
When I was around 10yrs old. It was a hot summer day, and I wanted to go swimming at my Dad's boss's pool. My Dad was edging our side walks. Being a brat , I kept asking. We didn't get to go. I was so mad at my Dad. But now that I look back at that time. Dad kept saying that as soon as I get done , we'll go.
Instead of telling me No , I still had that hope , that we would go.
On March 10th 2016 , my Dad took his life.
I was a Daddys girl.
It's been hard to forgive my Dad for that , and you gave me a reason to remember something nice that my Dad did , for not coming straight out and saying No to going swimming. 💔
Another great job Spencer. Hope you have a great weekend!!!!
That sidewalk is looking sweet…great job Spencer so satisfying to watch!!
WHOW you are the king of sidewalks. You just enhanced their property 10 fold. How wonderful for the community. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
Oooh goodness Spencer!!! Another awesome and hard work. I definitely know how hard it is to do any kind of yard work. Especially in the heat or humidity. Blazing sun or gloominess. I definitely appreciate what you do for the community and the homeowners. May you reap the rewards and blessings that you humbly deserve. You're a wonderful young man and as a momma, you make me proud. My son and my nephews always did hard work for their late grandparents and I cherish those moments. Awesomeness 👌
Hi Spencer, it is amazing even if this guy does his own yard why he didn't discover this before & if he's paying someone to do his yard WOW🤔 either way you've set the next person up for success GREAT WORK!! 👍👏😀
P.s. love how bright your fire hydrants are in your city
I love it when you clean the gutters. If you have ever been in a flood you know how important it is. Thank you. Looks great.
It must be so satisfying to uncover a hidden sidewalk or patio, talk about instant gratification. You are doing the entire community a big favor especially when you make the sidewalks accessible to everyone. Not just the walk itself but how many times to ya get smacked in the face by a low hanging branch or overgrown shrub. It is so much more enjoyable and safe to walk after you work your magic.
You are the man,to tackle a project like that by yourself,so commendable.just hope the family has a way to maintain it,with all the work you put into it.hate to see it fall back into same state.kudos to you keep doing what your doing 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Those sidewalks are city property, why isn't the city maintaining them?
I agree Randy, it’s definitely not the family responsibility to maintain that sidewalk.
Hate to tell you but it’s the home owners responsibility to maintain it
I hope they can keep up with it now that it's in shape!
@@SBMowing So do I. Maybe it won’t be so overwhelming for them to maintain. If that was my yard, you would’ve inspired me to keep it nice and maintained. Beautiful job!
Such a legend. Always the highlight when he uploads :)
There’s something amazing about seeing these transformations. Don’t know why, but I’m hypnotized and addicted. Thank you for that.
Man, you are on the way to opening a top soil supply business. So much earth, leaves, grass is removed. Its inspiring to me. I must go and clean my driveway now!
Great job! Looks like the grass is cut, you would think if someone is cutting the grass they would edge the sidewalk as well? Glad to see you take pride in your work...
Another amazing transformation Spencer. You certainly got the recognition you deserve on this one.
Every job has its own challenges, but some of yours appear more back-breaking that the others... like this one! Have a great weekend, Spenser!
Love watching you transform these yards I rented a house for many years and loved mowing the lawn the satisfaction of the way it looks after you're done the smell of the grass watching you has such a calming effect
In the past at different times in my life i have fractured both of my ankles so I'm very weary of walking down sidewalks I wished every sidewalk I walk down look like the sidewalks that you clean up
We need more people like this.
God bless him.
I just realized that chain link fence really isn't a fence. It's a galvanized steel netting used to stop the annual migration of autumn leaves.
I was getting totally pooped just watching you struggle with this sideway! I admire you sir! Keep up the terrific work. Remember to take care of yourself as well!
Hard work you did, excellent result! Maybe being on the side of their house vs. front, it was easier for the homeowner to neglect/forget to maintain all this time. Thanks for this video.
Hi Spencer, Another great job. Was missing you, and here you are today on an early Friday morning in Montreal. Happy Friday.
Once again, excellent job! The transformation is amazing. May God bless you and your business!
You're the most kind hearted person!! Great job!!!
Dude you are so awesome, helping lots of people out. You are everything America stands for.
It would be funny to get the neighbors reaction to seeing a whole sidewalk, probably think it's magic.
That was the neighbor!
Huge transformation 👏🏻 💪🏻 🙌🏻 god bless dude.. channel growing fast best of luck!!
Thank you so much 😀
This is a great way to show off your business and do a good deed for the community at the same time!!!
WOW, that was a rough one, but the end results was so satisfying. It was nice to hear all the neighbors expressing their gratitude for a job well done and appreciated.💛of gold.
Another project superbly completed. You inspire. Thank you!
Amazing transformation. You're such a hard worker. Great job!
Just WOW. SUCH LOVE AND SUCH CARING IN ALL YOUR WORK. SO FAR YOU ARE MY FAVORITE TO WATCH ! NICE BEAUTIFUL FINISHES
I’m exhausted just watching you do all this work ✅ I hope the family keeps up with the “Great” renewal of their sidewalk ✅ I’m sure everyone is jumping for joy over the cleared sidewalk and especially the handicap clearance and no more having to walk in the street 💯💜🌟💜💯
Looked really nice, Spencer. Did a great job! Much improvement in overall appearance of the neighborhood, and now all the corners "match", in upkeep. Well done!
You are very friendly, talking to everyone that comes along. That is nice and makes a persons day. Have a good evening to rest.
Spencer don't overdo it, you have those joints that have to get you through life! Good job
That is so crazy! Where I live in SE Coastal Virginia, we don’t really have this problem because most people have fescue lawns. Unless you have weeds and some creeping crab grass, no one here has St. Augustine or other creepers. So it would be virtually impossible for this to happen. I find it totally fascinating.
We have a lot of fescue around here! But these older parts of town get the crab grass and bermuda and it's pretty much a weed haha
I’ve lived in that area, and there are parts of Norfolk,Suffolk and Virginia Beach(as well as Petersburg) where, if it’s neglected long enough, this can happen also.this reminds me of Asbury Park NJ, where I’ve also lived.
@@cathiwim I’ve not seen it but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible. Perhaps I’m in the wrong area. For wild crab grass to get that out of control your yard has to have been neglected for a decade or two.
You made the neighborhood look great!!! Awesome job!
We need more people like you in this world. Happy to see other people happy
Never let it be said, that you are not an artist! You passionately restore the art of those before you, so all can enjoy your great work. Personal satisfaction is priceless young man. Bravo.👍
Awesome job. It makes me kind of sad that people don’t take pride in what they own or are physically unable to keep up what they own.
The city owns that path though they should take care of it
@@cometomyfrontdoor how do you know what City this home resides in? If the sidewalk is within your property lines, so to the curb, you have to maintain grass/weeds.
Bro thanks for uploading I tried to fill in the void by watching others but its just not the same 😔 Not saying others finished work dont look as good as yours, its just your process is so satisfying. It calms my inner ocd while others just makes me upset lol 😂😂 the shoveling is what gets me and I find alot of others dont shovel, they just use the edger then weed whack the remaining dirt 😡
The city/town/community should be taking care of its sidewalks like this. Great job SB!!
So satisfying watching the transformation! It seems as though this would never get done if it wasn’t for you! Wow
I wonder why all these sidewalks are neglected for so long and left to be such a mess.
Your hard work is a blessing to so many people. Thank you 🙏🏻
Not so much in this video, but in others, you use your string trimmer after mowing. I believe this is pretty standard, but I started using mine before mowing. Here’s why: 1) creates a “buffer” zone so I don’t have to get my mower close to any objects, 2) if the grass cut down by the trimmer is significantly long (like in many of these yards), it gets mulched up by the mower and isn’t left laying on top of the freshly mown grass. Not a big deal, but makes a difference in finished look of the yard. Wondering what you think?
I see if it’s trimmed wouldn’t the edging tool not have to work so hard?
I am always surprised by local town regulations that these people do not have to maintain their sidewalks. I feel like in a lot of places you would rack up fines for this or be forced to pay your town to have it cleared. Unmaintained sidewalks can lead to different types of accidents.
Helping others who cannot help themselves is wonderful!
That whole neighborhood shaped up in 6 hours. Awesome work!
Question: do you ever go back to see if the yards you cleaned up are being maintained after you left?
I had the same thought. I bet this sidewalk will look almost as it was. I'm not sure if it is the responsibility of the owner, but rather the city or town to make sure their sidewalks are free of debris for walkers. Especially those that have reduced mobility.
