From Chaos to Class: Reviving a Crazy Overgrown Yard with the Midas Touch!
Vložit

- So, after driving around for 2 hours looking for a yard to clean up for free, I'd lucked out. After knocking on 3 doors, one wasn't home (been there about 4 time so far) and the other 2 said no to a free cleanup. Who says no to a free yard cleanup 🤷♂️. Anyway, I was driving around and I saw this property. I've already done a massive transformation here about a year ago, so I decided to knock on their door and see what was going on. The homeowners were away at a funeral and their daughter told me that the mower they bought after the last clean-up was broken, so they couldn't mow. I said, right, ok then, I'd better do your yard again! She said “excellent”, so we began. I later found out that the mower wasn't broken, it just didn't have any fuel or oil. Note: When you buy a new mower, you need to purchase fuel and oil separately. Sometimes they have a small oil bottle, but always good to check 😉. After the rescue, I mentioned to the owner about a regular mowing service, and she was happy with the price (yes, I'm doing a few regular mows again). So this property will definitely be looked after moving forward. The quote included monthly mowing, weed spraying and rubbish removal. All up, I spent around 13 hours on this job, with 2 trips to the landfill.

FAQ's:
Q: Where are you located?
A: I am from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 🦘.
Q: Do you worry about snakes?
A: I have never even seen a snake in over 5 years on the job.
Q: Which equipment do you use?
A: Mostly STIHL power equipment (battery and petrol) and commercial Honda self-propelled mowers.
Q: How much do the jobs cost?
A: Sorry, I prefer not to talk about costs.
Q: Why don't you use tarps instead of bins?
A: Tarps are too difficult to move through small spaces and lift into the trailer. The same for wheelbarrows, they are only good for unloading the trailer!
Q: Why are the hot water cylinders outside?
A: I would say it's because Australia had a temperate to tropical climate, and therefore it doesn't matter that much if they are outdoors. To me, though, it seems a bit inefficient to have them outside in Tasmania with a temperate climate (coldish for 3 - 4 months per year). But that is industry standard down here 🤷♂️
Q: Why don't you have help?
A: I've had many problems with employees in the past, so now I work alone.
Q: Why don't you have a ride-on mower?
A: Well, there are a few reasons.
1. I don't have the right trailer for a ride on, considering I always take away the green waste.
2. I don't have anywhere to store it, as my shed is too small.
3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can't actually get a ride-on on to the properties.
4. I don't do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k AUD on a stander, but it would be nice to have one!
5. I will get one as soon as my transport and storage problems are solved.
Q: What types of ladders do you use?
A: The large one is a Gorilla Adjustable Platform 150kg and the small one is a Gorilla Mighty 19. They are both adjustable.
Q: Who/what is Jim's Mowing?
A: Jim's Mowing is a franchise business. The Jim's Group is the biggest home services franchise in Australia.
Q: Why do you have 2 channels that seem to be the same?
A: Quick Cuts (my original channel) has music in the background. Quick Cuts V2 is for those that like just machine noise, and it doesn't have music. - Zábava

Svaki put kao i do sad svako dvorište dovedeš do savršenstva. Pozdrav iz Bosne i Hercegovine. 👍
Mine too
Did you do the brambles last time or did you not get to them. They were huge.
❤great job as usual.
Hi George - I really like your videos - you always do a superb job and are very relaxing to watch. Just in relation to the above video without music, it may be easier if you could put on the full link to the actual video as the above link without music only takes you to the main CZcams channel. Many thanks, Matt
I fail to understand people who defile their own property by throwing rubbish out into the yard! You are a very special breed of caretaker George. May the good Lord bless you abundantly.
. Why is there no code enforcement? Can only imagine the neighbors feeling about it house.
Knowing that you did a huge clean up on this yard last year, then seeing the garbage in back is quite disheartening. Hopefully now that they are on a regular schedule, they will be better about it. Beautiful job, George! 💚💚
I doubt it!
Dont hold your breath!
I predict that the residents will not follow through with the monthly service.
Instantly recognised this house and wondered why you re released the clean-up video as I have already watched it, only to find out minutes later that you are back for round 2!
It's sad to see after the initial work that the home owner let it get back to this state! Blackberry bushes are nothing compared to the first video thankfully, but geez, buying a mower and not putting oil and petrol in? Does not run on hopes and dreams!
You do a great deed, George! Love your work mate!
😂... new mowers are not sold without oil...they lyin
@@yadda10akataxpayinvoter Came here to say this. If you buy it new, they service it and make sure it operates the way it should. If you buy it used, it's got oil in it. Maybe not much gas, but at least a little.
You guys are right!
George, I have concluded that you were placed on this earth to bring joy to people.
You're an amazing man because you enjoy doing free labor for others..
That house demands a perfect lawn with the beautiful scenery in the background!!! Lovely solid home deserves regular attention, outside and inside!!! When we had a home I was out nearly every day working in the yard and then I'd go inside and working in my house. It requires constant attention to own a home of any size. You're a good man to help out again. I think you should have them come out and assist you!!! Even with a broken knee I was out in my yard--using a stool to sit on while I pulled weeds or cut flowers, using a cane as I trimmed shrubs. It can be done--my parents and grandparents set that example for me! Any ways, very nice job!!! Thanks for sharing!
I couldn't agree more! Home ownership is expensive and requires constant monitoring and care!
That house deserves a new owner. I see they threw out all that trash knowing the brambles would cover it. They could have taken two bags at a time in their car to the dump.
@@gailatkinson1955 Its not like they don't have garbage cans,George had to move two before he could finish the driveway.
No regular city trash pick-up there?@@gailatkinson1955
I’m sure the neighbors are grateful, even if these folks aren’t. I shudder to think what the inside looks like…
I'm sure the neighbours will really and truly appreciate what you've done for this household. Great work!
You did an amazing job. Thank you so much for your hard work. God bless you for your generosity and kindness.
George, I remember you doing this yard and it was horrible then. It was unbelievable that these women just chunked their trash out the back door! I couldn’t believe it! As well didn’t know to put gas and oil in a new mower! You’re a good man and God bless you for helping lazy people. I can not fathom how anyone capable of doing the work or paying to have the yard work done could just let their yard go to seed. Astonishing to me. Anyway, a fabulous clean up my you! You rock!
Maybe they should have gotten an electric lawn mower instead.
Then they would say they couldn't find where to put the oil and gas in.@@peikathryn
@@peikathrynThey probably wouldn't know how to charge it. We have one and love the little bugger! Works just grand, but it needs to be charged, just like gas in tank make mower run.😂 Those folks aren't going to use that mower. What a waste of money that they could've paid George with!
Maybe she is mentally disabled?
A lot of people have no “Pride of Ownership” for their property…..even a a renter I took care of the property…landlords loved me….
It would be disheartening to see all your hard work gone for naught, yet you launched right in and did it all again. You are such a dynamo!!
Hi y’all from the southern U. S. I remember this one. The amount of work it took to complete it. I can’t believe they let it get so over grown again.
I can! When people don't pay for something, they don't value it! These are freeloaders!
There is the same dog watching you out the window, but not barking as much and we see the kitty more ❤ as it watches you for a while clearing up the area you took the cordyline out of during the last round. I remember you having to cut out those paths and fix the fence by removing the chain link. I’m so happy to know they will have care of their yard going forward, and top marks for the weed spray talk you gave the one lady. You once more tamed this yard, and put it back into maintenance mode, which I hope will not be so hard an effort. Really cool new blade attachment and may it serve you well. I really like the different POV scenes, and seems your new camera works a charm! ✌ To that beast of a Honda you use, great video!!
I think the children were keeping the dog under control this time. There was much less work this time around, most of the rubbish and long time mess was gone, so much easier 🙂
Wow George, I loved this episode!
First of all I have to say once again that you are truly a good man. You did the job a second time for free, without judging the family. Then you very patiently explained how to spray and how to use the lawnmower. And in the end you left with a maintenance contract and a big smile, you deserved all the respect! Second thing... the new camera is awesome! Watching it on TV I can count the blades of grass! And I love the double take editing! Thirdly, with the new equipment no wild blackberry can be safe anymore! Keep it up, you're doing a good job! 🤗💪🍻☀
Well, thank you 🙂. The new equipment is excellent, I highly recommend 😃
Yep, I own a Sony as well, it's perfect!
@@-Barbara.hahaha, the camera is good too. I mean the trimmer for the blackberries 🌞🥰
@@QuickCuts 🤦🏻♀️😅
The Privet, Fuschia and Abelia have grown back fabulous and lush from the hard prune you gave them last year 😍. The dreaded blackberries came back…ugh 😵💫 so good that you wiped them down to the ground. You are receiving major karma points for beautifying this property again George 🙌🙌🙌💯💯💯💚💚💚
George, that mower just goes through everything. Great job. Thank you for being who you are to help others.
Privet George. Love the cat running from window to window checking you out !
Most excitement that kitty has had in a while, I'd say.
George, you’ve done it again! The place looks like a show home! Well done! Cheers from Texas USA!
This is a huge property and knowing you did this before is amazing. I love when you and all the other lawn care professionals on CZcams find all these walkways that are hidden under the overgrown grass. You are a good man George. I am glad they are having you come out more often to keep it in better condition.
Oh my goodness, George! You have the biggest heart tackling that overgrown disaster area, yet AGAIN!! Your work ethic is immense and to be applauded. Well done!! 😊❤😊
Great work, and great choice of music. I don’t have to turn the volume up and down. It’s a pleasure watching you. Verla here😊
Awesome transformation!!!! It was very kind of you to come to an arrangement to mow once a month. Hopefully, if it's kept up regularly, they will get so used to it that they will keep it up on their own. Also, those shrubs in the front would look nice if trimmed at the bottom to make them look like trees. My sister did that to hers and they look fantastic. Thank you for what you do, the world would be a much better place to live in if more people were as kind and caring as you are.
It’s too bad that they didn’t maintain their yard. Splendid job as always George. As for the two properties that passed up on a free lawn care, their loss.
You can't help some people. They don't want to be helped.
It could be they were ashamed, maybe?
Correct
Hi George, they are very fortunate to have you there a second time. I won’t judge them, not my job. I really hope they do what they said about you coming back once a month. I really do admire you and your detailed work. Joyce ❤️🙏🇺🇸USA ❤️Quick Cuts❤️
New camera, new insights, different perspectives and image details. I am very pleased. Many greetings from Germany
hello mate 🙋♂️
George you are the best on the internet. You always do such a perfect job. I have worked in my yards all my life and detail is so important if you care. I was just shocked at this make over. WHO just throws bags of trash out in the back yard. I would be so embarrassed to have a lawn person clean up my trash. Bless you!! Love to watch your posts.
I remember you cleaning up this mess before. You are a SAINT to do it again…and for FREE.
George you are a fine man and what you do and how you do it is very admirable. Glad you convinced them to hire you monthly. You are a Blessed man which has gone unnoticed by your viewers. My prayers for you always. 🙏😊😎
George, you have a good heart. These homeowners can’t manage their trash and other maintenance as well as their large yard. You are a significant help to them.👌
Reminds me of a childhood cartoon in the USA. The main line was ,"May I have a hamburger today, but pay you tomorrow?" Your such a good person . ❤
Привет из России!!! Очень люблю смотреть Ваши ролики. Удачи вам и хороших клиентов!!! ❤
Wasn't this an inherited property and the lady had a teenage special needs child or children? Some people are just at a total loss as of what/how to do yard work. Just like a fish out of water grappling, then feeling overwhelmed, anxious and out of breath. So glad you checked on this one again George, and have made a plan to help them keep it up. Thank you George, and may god bless you abundantly ❤🙏
Great job as usual but if somebody is too lazy to get rid of the trash I can't imagine they're suddenly going to find the motivation to start looking after the garden. I'd bet that the mowing service is cancelled before it starts.
Pj’s in the afternoon …. Com on this is habitual I dare to think what the inside looks like. 😳
Greetings from Atlanta, GA. Spending time watching another of your incredible videos is about as good as it gets. George, I often ponder what your thoughts are while you’re doing this work. I am a bit OCD with details on my own yard but I’m sure you could fill a book with tales after all the hundreds of hours you spend salvaging the landscapes of people that have no pride in maintaining their homes. Another commenter mentioned that we all have difficulties at times and need help. This property owner appears to just not give a darn. Please, please keep doing this work as long as you are able. You are an artist and a reminder of standards the world seems to be losing. You inspire me with every video you create.
Great job as usual ❣️ No, I can’t believe those people turned you down. I wonder if they checked you out and thought, boy I screwed up. 😀 That mower is so amazing. We had one 40 years ago and loved it. We graduated to a John Deere riding mower, with power steering. I was so thrilled because I did all the mowing.🙂 I’m so glad you got her as a regular customer. You do such an awesome job George. You motivate me to get up and start my day. Thanks.💚
That fennel lives on in Google Earth. Good job my friend.
Great job George.
George you have the patience of a saint! God bless you.
It's always nice to look at your eternal summer and sun! We also have sun today, although it’s -25. Greetings from Finland!❤
-25 jeez 🥶🥶🥶
Great job as always.
Not that freezy in Germany ,only minus 10 at night but very cold and lot of snow ❄️ in Germany as well
@@QuickCuts ха-ха-ха😂. У нас 2 месяца средняя температура - 40 мороза, и снега по самое не хочу😂 19 января в России было крещение, так мы ещё в прорубь окунались при температуре - 35 мороза Невероятные ощущения!!!!
@QuickCuts Damm ..agree with you there but others would die in the heat atm in Nth Queensland here along with very high humidity.😢
Only north Australia has warm weather all year. The rest have 4 seasons and it can get very cold and gloomy. It snows where George is in Hobart but It’s summer here now.
George, you have such a good heart. I think you did everyone who needs a lawn care in Australia.
Have to admit that I enjoy your transformation videos more than all the others. The old ones got me hooked. They were all amazing. Great work. God bless
It's a miracle that the lawnmower still got through, and another lost path discovered. I am pleased that you are now allowed to maintain the garden regularly.
As always, the result is beautiful.
Great job George, I don't have anything nice to say about homeowners so I'll say nothing. I really like that you mow in sections. It looks much easier and not as depressing.
Show them how to use their mower. Better a hand up than a hand out.
George, This was a monumental effort by you. I bet the neighbours are happy that you restored this yard . I hope the lady does pay you for your work in future.
It is a pity that these homeowners are not doing their yardwork. But, there you are George...to the rescue. What a big difference in the before and after pictures. Have a great weekend.
Тяжёлый труд, у вас столько терпения, вы молодец 👍
Привет из Казахстана ❤
You are an inspiration George, that property came up a treat. There's something about a well manicured and edged lawn, and I find once it's trimmed , it's easily maintained. I liked the new brush cutter attachment. cheers buddy, take care and stay safe. 👍
Ahh Saturday with George!!
Nice camera. I can tell the difference from the 1st time you did this yard! Everything bright and clear. Editing and music great.The cat in the window enjoyed your efforts.😃🐈 Hope the client lets you take down that awful fence.😣 I have a feeling if those brambles are ever going to be gone, you'll need to do it.😉Hey, when are you going to take off those glasses and give us a smile? Asking for a friend.😎😘
Wow!! Great job. Can’t believe you bagged that whole lawn. It must have taken forever!
New attachment worked out for you great. Again you did an excellent job on this property. As you always do. Bless you man....another Happy home owner.
I got to get me a bagging lawnmower like yours. You mow the whole lawn and only get one bag of clippings.
AMMAZING. 🤗
So glad you will be maintaining this property, I remember the first time you mowed the lawns.
What's the over/under on her dropping his services now that the place is cleaned up?
You can't help some people.
貴方の動画いつも楽しみに
しています。完璧な仕事いつも感心している。
体に気をつけてください
I have never seen more lazy apathetic people than these homeowners. They don’t deserve your impeccable expertise. You always go above and beyond. For them - you need to just mow and go! Take care George. This subscriber appreciates you as do countless others. ❤️
Your job takes it from a dump to a palace..beautiful home under all that grass and garbage..
Glad to hear you'll be back to keep up the yard..most videos ,you watch the guys working so hard and you wonder if it's just going to look the same in a month or two..great job you do...and I like the way you clean up as you go..makes it so much easier at the end.
the yard began to look better than the neighboring yards
Great effort/job as usual.
I just find it a little pathetic that folks cannot maintain the place after all your hard work!
Should one have a physical impediment, okay, but otherwise ...
Be well & stay safe
Way to bring the yard back to life. Excellent work George 👍
Yet, another AMAZING job George. This was a doozy with all that high grass. See you next week :)
Bom dia, Jorge!
Eu lembro, quando vc limpou a primeira vez.😮...vc, sem comparações, amo assistir seus vídeos, neles eu aprendo lidar com meu jardim eu e meu marido.
Saudações do Brasil.
Tbm amo os vídeo do George e já estou viciada em limpar o jardim e podar as plantas, tenho que me policiar para não acabar matando alguma 😅
@@karlakeslleysantos4684
Que lega, parabéns!!
Hi George. Sorry I'm a born sceptic. The words "can I pay you next month?" are ringing in my ears already.
hahaha, it will be ok ✌️
My thoughts exactly! Clearly hasn't been touched since the last time he was there.
just record.. EVERYTIME you go.. cause I feel youtube is gonna be payin for that lawn once a month
I commend you doing an exceptional job again on this yard. I mentioned about the garbage buildup on the last video, apparently they can't afford garbage pickup, using their yard as a landfill or maintenance on the house. Wondering how they'll afford you monthly. Didn't they have a disabled son? who couldn't do much, now a daughter is there. Who ever heard of getting a mower and not gas/oil🤔. You're doing the right thing helping them George but I'd hate for you to pay the price, at least YT can pay you.
Sad to see "new" garbage dumped in the backyard. Bless you for doing this again.
Perhaps you can encourage them to take down the rest of that rotted wood fence. Much improved.
Great job Gorge. Easy second time right, keep up the good work!
Once again George you made this place look really good. Thank you for helping them. God bless you 🦋
Hello from SC in USA. I wanted to share how much I enjoy your channel and your eye for details. Hope 2024 will be a great year for you personally and for your business.
I love the subtitles of the barking dog 😂😂
Good day George..am watching from trinidad and Tobago...you're a very dedicated, and neat guy...love how you always do a very good job...keep up the good work for your community and others...its the passion and determination ,loving what you do ,,that is what makes your work satisfying...that's what you do...🎉
Absolutely shameful that you could just throw trash out the door ‼️ Great Transformation George. Thank you for being a great person ‼️ Be Blessed and Prosperous in the New Year 🙏🏽❤️
I agree.
Awesome job George. Hard to believe people allows their properties to get to level. They are lazy, they had no intention of keeping up with the yard. Glad you offered your services within agreeable rates. Even trash and rubbish are hidden among the weeds. Terrible. You have done wonders on this property George, blessed you. 😊
I have a couple questions here. Does the city not have regulations about the yards? Also the neighbors must cringe. All the other houses look so well kept. Do they complain? Love that mower! Need one. Great job once again.
It's just as bad as last time you did it. What's wrong with not even putting their own rubbish out. They have bins!!!! Terrific as usual George.
Amazing George,as always 😊🇸🇪
Oh George! This yard hasn’t been touched in a very long time. 😢
Hi George!!! You're the best!!! I remember this yard from before. Glad she's going to let you keep it up for her. ❤
How much do you love your new toy? I have seen you struggle to remove black berries/brambles so many times finally you can do so with a bit more ease hopefully, well at least it looked easier 😅 good on you for going back to them and working out a future plan with them you are an amazing human being I wish there were more people like you are around. Continue to spread that kindness like it’s confetti!
Hi George!!! Looking good!!! 👍
Wow! Amazing video! Perfect filming with a new equipment , you're improving a lot. If the first time couldn't be better this time it was a masterclass on how to make a garden.I like to see how you talk to the owner and give her some advise ( you should do it more often) Go for it💪😜
Great George👍 Thanks for the inspirations & cool music❣️🎶 🥇✨️
In the name of the wee man George that was a MEGA property, and a AMAZING transformation 👍🏆♥️ No wonder the homeowner was pleased to see you again, and no doubt YAP😀
Your new camera 📸 looks the business, and produced a Great video 👍♥️
Another 👍🏻 job from George who does more than a Quick Cut on his Lawncare jobs just 👍🏻
Parabéns pelo seu trabalho. As imagens já eram top e agora a filmagem está maravilhosa. Parabéns, não perco nenhum vídeo 👏🏼🙏🏼 Brasil 🇧🇷
O dear, I was wondering how many people maintane an free yard makeover, I think not a lot, it is a pitty. Thank you job well done. I am glad that you will do it for them😊
I became your FC from this house and now am speechless to this homeowner😔
Sei grande..🙌fai dei lavori perfetti 👍❤️👏👏👏👋👋👋😘🤗
I sure hope you’re not being taken advantage of, George. You have a good heart.
Nice music! Thanks and greetings from Germany! 😊
Cant believe that lawn mower goes through that TALL grass...wow.
You always do a wonderful job George! I don’t understand all the trash piles, but hey, everyone is different. You turn ugly into beautiful! Love your videos.
George, You are a Master at shaping the shrubs 🌳!!
I just love the yellow weed blooms in the "trusty tin" can @3200 mark. Its like an oversized beautiful bouquet.
I watches all George's videos over and over all week until the new one is up.
God bless George!!!!!
I see you had new blade for blackberry demons...haha
WOOOW GEORGE YOUR WORK IS SOOO AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL. ❤👏👏😎🤙
She is very lucky to have you fix up her property ... great job .... looks so neat ..
Great job Georgi. Seeing this yard after several months in your care would be great. A little Airation, a little fertilizer and some serious rain and this yard would come back nicely.
I've seen that weedy fennel growing in my area. I had edible fennel growing once, but I don't cook, so I took it out after it went to seed.---That metal trimmer blade is a wicked-looking tool.---Lovely 'after' photos. (Since I have little tech knowledge, I don't know what I'm asking of you, but I'd love to see a year-in-review at the end of 2024 to showcase some of this year's doozies, because you've been to this address twice, & will now be visiting regularly. I'd love to see green-up, and whether or not the owners are helping out. Also, does the fence look any different! I remember when you had to dismantle portions to get to the back!)---And as always, thanx for the great music. This morning I'd also like to tell you that I enjoy the editing you do to put some noise in amongst the music.
How smart of her to opt for monthly maintenance, George. That’s a win-win situation for all involved. However, the Hawthorn and the brambles sure made a great intruder-deterrent in the backyard, lol. Nice job, as always!
George love your show. I sit back with a cup of coffee on Saturday morning and enjoy. The new camera makes a difference
I love watching your work. You do a good job. Glad you talked them into a regular customer.
