    This might sound weird but after a busy or bad day, to watch the grass being mown and becoming beautiful again I find very calming.

    If that yard would of been next to me. I would of cut it before it got that long. That was one BEAST of a lawn.

    Awesome. If I were that neighbor, I'd watch too. Heck, I watch mowing videos makeovers all the time - I love the transformation. You do great work and I KNOW it made his day. Thank you for giving this neighbor some piece of mind and probably will help cut down on pesky mice and snakes too.

    As a senior citizen, and widow I struggle getting the lawn done. I’m embarrassed as I used to have one of the most attractive yards in the neighborhood. Having just over a half acre it’s more than I can handle in a day. Plus I’m desperate for a better riding lawn mower. Bless you for what you do!

    What a monumental effort you put into this lawn and garden cleanup! You are one of the few that actually rakes up the grass clippings, instead of leaving them to suffocate the remaining lawn. You left that home looking well cared for instead of the sad state it was in when you arrived.Bravo! I subscribed to your channel. ❤️🇨🇦

    Your are so kind to do this! I understand the neighbor watching you mow it all. That grass was so tall and unsightly for the entire neighborhood; especially for the man living next door. You’re an angel!! 😇😇😇😇👍👍

  • @maxkuykendall5866
    @maxkuykendall5866 Před 11 měsíci +33

    I have a suggestion that might be a benefit. When I used to cut such high grass, I would take half a swath, always throwing the cut grass to already mowed area. I hear your mower laboring under the load it's cutting. Three things I observed when using this technique. One, a half swath reduces to some extent the load on your engine. Two, on a sunny day, cut grass begins to lose its moisture as you are cutting the tall stuff. Third by shooting the cut material where you have already mowed, your mower isn't fighting the resistance of downed material while tackling the tall stuff.
    Hope it works for you. This equipment isn't cheap, nor are repair and down time. Your results look great!

    • @realtimemowing395
      @realtimemowing395  Před 11 měsíci +14

    • @bholm7297

    I used to have a very able bodied friend who used to let her lawn get like that. She was divorced, and it was a constant argument - between her and her two also able bodied teens - over who would mow the grass ?! While they had the weekly argument, the grass would get longer and longer, and become UNmanageable, just like this lawn got. I helped her about 3 or 4 times - with the cutting, raking etc. It looked great when finished, the way this lawn does. After the fourth time of doing all that work, and knocking myself out, I decided I was being taken advantage of, and nothing else, since they NEVER kept it up.... I never offered my help again - it was NOT my responsibility ! After all, I had my OWN large lot to look after, at home - and I always have done so !

    That grass is tall and thick. Wow. Any time you start something like that, raise your blades to the highest setting. Mow it once then go back over with the setting at 3 or 4. That will keep your mower from struggling to cut. I heard it a lot. Great job on the law

    Did all the neighbors donate their wheelie bins so you could dump all the grass clippings? We used to do that in our neighborhood, if someone was cleaning up their yard and our bins were half full, we'd let them put their yard waste into our bin so the cleanup would be easier than making a trip to the dump.

    It should be against the law for any bank that foreclosed on a property to let it get into that condition. This video should be sent to the City Attorney for the city this property is located in, hopefully accompanied by a petition signed by neighbors of this property asking that the bank or financial institution that holds this property be held liable for maintaining it. This is disgusting.

    Beautiful job !! Interested in the back story on why the yard was allowed to grow out of control. Did any of the now happy neighbors offer to help before you stepped in ? Looks like all the other yards are manicured. I'd like to think if this was my neighbor and they needed help I could easily run my mower over their lawn as I am maintaining my own lawn. Weird concept in 2023 being neighborly. Helpful. Selfless.
