Saving a NEGLECTED yard for a homeowner with POOR HEALTH!
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 10. 2023
- Once again, I was driving around looking for a good yard (or bad) to do a youtube transformation video. I knocked on this random person's door and offered to do a free makeover, only to be declined. So I gave the homeowner my business card and said if he changes his mind to give me a call. A few weeks later, I received a call asking if I was still interested in the cleanup. As you can see, I was definitely interested in doing this one. The homeowner is actually undergoing treatment for cancer and hasn't been able to look after his garden for some time, as the treatment is quite severs and leaves you with little energy to do everyday things. Hopefully, with this little bit of help, he will be able to maintain his yard moving forward and make his life a bit easier. This cleanup will only be on the front of the property. All up, I spent around 12.5 hours on this job, with 3 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.

La parte dos?
Awesome video 😊😊😊😊😊
😊87i hi j bu hhhhhj
Sir, I've watched you work harder for free than most people do for money!
There is no way anyone with cancer could have handled this yard. So glad he realised he was not going to be able to do it no matter how much he wanted to. It’s hard to accept that you can’t do something and even harder to accept help. He must be so grateful for your hard work George. You are a godsend.
I can assure you that your correct. During my chemo I had little to no strength. Then there’s surgery, then radiation, then infusions. This process takes months. God bless you George. Your a good man.❤
He could use a wheel barrel
God. Will. Bless you abountly. For all. You do for others
You’d think a neighbour would come over and help???!
Beautiful
George, you are a man among boys. Unfathomable number of trips to the drump and a tremendous number of hours to benefit a person in need. Blessings to you
I second that.
God bless you, darling man .
Never mind.
Nothing better, to lift your spirits, than peaceful, manicured yard!!
This man’s heart will be uplifted seeing his garden. I wish him quality of life. 👏
Whoever gets your services gets the very finest. Excellent work, every time.
I went through a couple rounds of chemo and radiation and basically slept for 2 years. Even after that I had to force myself to spend 10 minutes at a time behind the mower.
My yard wasn't nearly this bad (being in a desert), but it still took a few thousand dollars to get it dug out. Im so glad you found this man so he has an easier way forward. ❤
I wish the community would have done a wellness check on this poor guy. Usually when someone lets their yard go, there's a problem. Great job helping this man. I hope people step in moving foward.
Yeah like finishing removing them horrible vines on house and fence. Not good
The neighbours should have asked him if he needed anything or to be taken somewhere, eg for shopping, doctor's appointments, etc. They should also have offered to clean up his yard for him, or called for a lawn care service to come.
Totally agree! They need to act like a neighbors!!!
It is not always easy. We had a neighbour who had a dispute about something down the road so as revenge he decided to leave his garden to go completely wild - an acre of it for about 30 years until he died! His choice, his land. The wildlife loved it!
They won’t. That was a different world. It has changed and not for the better but the good news is you can be the change you want to see. God bless you
I just adore watching your videos and your consistent attention to detail. There is nothing better than seeing a "Precise Cut" a "Crisp Edge" and a "Clean Fence Line"....Wonderful. Magnificent job, you're a Star 💚💚🤩🤩
You're really above most, George. So kind to help this man out in a time of need. Just knowing how much better he feels seeing his beautiful yard once again. 👍👍
God bless you, sir, for being so generous to do all of this work! Especially for someone with cancer who really needs your help. Thank you for setting a fine example for the rest of us to be like you.
As a survivor I thank you from the bottom of my heart. What you have done will do more for his state of mind than you know. When you have many treatments depression kicks in and makes the task even more daunting.
You can tell how much pride you take in your work. So kind of you to help that man out!
Hi George , yours is by far, the best lawn care channel. You do such a thorough job.. No one else comes close. There are 'lawn care' people with over half a million subscribers who should learn a thing or two from you bro. Love from India 🇮🇳❤
Agreed!! My favorite for the same reasons stated..❤ from USA
Agreed! I’ve noticed the ones who have gotten the million subscribers go out and do a Half-hearted job just to get a video out there. Their trimming is hit or miss, no clipping pickup up, Bush or tree trimming. I feel like they’re just trying to get something out there. George does a very thorough job...for money or for free...same quality job! And has to pay for dumping- watching from Lake Wales, Florida
And Sean from Blade Mate lawn care 👍🏻
Hubby and I are in our seventies. We've both worked hard all our lives, raised six children and are very fastidious in the work we do. We admire you for your work ethic, which is doing your job to the best of your ability. We enjoy your channel more than most for your attention to detail. You're !!Great!! Thankyou for all you do. 😇 You're an angel
I so appreciate you doing this for this man. My brother died of cancer and there were many days he could not handle the yard work. I was very grateful when others would volunteer to clean it up while he was sick and receiving treatments. I saw that limb hit you, You need a hard hat if you're going to keep removing such big branches off trees, We want you safe to keep creating such great videos.
So very sorry for the loss of your brother.
What a wonderful gift if time and skill you gave to this man, who is struggling -perhaps alone- with cancer. The Lord bless you.
What an unbelievable servant and blessing you were to that man. He’s probably still sitting praising God for you helping him. This is an emotionally tied video for many people. I must say that it is one of your best ever. Your attention to detail and work ethic are beyond, any expectations. Thank you again keep up the wonderful wonderful work.
Really tricky job this time, George, with plenty to sort. I feel this is not just a lawncare exercise but a true community assist. Many people don't realise how exhausting treatments for cancer are. The spirit may well be willing, but as they say, the flesh is weak. Evidenced by the delay getting back to you. It shows they are proud enough not to want help, but know that they need it. Not being able to keep on top of a large job like this can be equally impacting on a patient's MH. Doing it for "free" using CZcams as the funding source must have really made them feel better about their sad situation. Fabulous job as always.
Someone from the community center across the street could/should have offered help...
I have a dear friend who lives in Antioch abd she's going through cancer treatments too..she's still able to do things for herself plus she has friends,a husband and a adult son who helps..❤
Awww George this turned out beautiful!! I’m sure this gentleman was absolutely over the moon about his yard transformation. You asked about how long it had been since he’d been in his shed I guessed 20-25 years. I’m sure he thought he’d never see his yard in this wonderful condition ever again. Thanks to you I’m sure his dreams have come true!!! Thank you sweet friend for helping these people in need. You truly are an inspiration. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are my favorite yard clean-up channel. I love that you inform us of the name of the plants, etc. You always go the extra mile for your clients.
Aww, I'm so glad he reached out and I'm so touched that you did all this for free. You made such a difference, letting in more light and making it easier to come up the front footpath and just making it look 100% better. I'm sure he will be very grateful. I send him my best wishes on this arduous journey he is on and hope he will be able to enjoy better health soon. I also hope that neighbours, family or friends will be able to stop in once in a while to give him a hand, some moral support, and maybe pull down that ivy!! Thank you so much, George, for being such a decent guy.
I wondered if I was the only one who wanted the ivy gone.
So is everything green😅
Hi George!! I love this episode..you don’t know how much this means to this man. Sometimes it’s hard to accept help when you’re struggling ❤❤ Thank you for your kindness!!
Also, you were kind enough to stack his firewood where he could readily get it. It's hard to get up and down steps when you're old or infirm.
I love it and your great heart!!,, I am from San Diego California USA you are so hard working 😊😊❤❤
Another great job you are a tremendous person always helping the unfortunate people who are having problems
It looked terrific, George. So glad he decided to let you help.👍🏻💚💙💚👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
How utterly kind you are sir. Stacking wood for this person ! What a God send you are.
Great job George! The owner will definitely appreciate what you are doing for him. What was really surprising was the lack of rubbish considering how overgrown the grass and trees were. I can't wait for part 2 ♥️
Thank you. I'm not going to do the back on this one. Apparently, the owner has a dog and he was happy with the front 🙂
@@QCV2every now and then have a seat in the electric massage chair at your local shopping center/mall. You are not too young to appreciate that😅 16:00 I bet your mother, sister, girlfriend or wife or even your Mother-in-law or elderly neighbor would like those flowers 16:00
Great job! Love the transformation! The driveway whoa!
Well done George, lovely work!
Always Happy to see the trees given a Good Cut back into shape. Thank you for all your hard work. ❤
Love that you clean up as you go--you see the difference immediately. Great job!
Masterful job George. So kind of you to do the work. Thanks again for describing some of the plants. I enjoy that.
George,
I truly love your dedication to helping those whose property needs some attention, and they are unable to to take care of it. You definitely ease their worries when dealing with life’s challenging circumstances.
what I especially enjoy about your videos is that you are not all over the place, but attentive to one particular area till it has been properly addressed. Also, the speed in which you allow us to watch your videos is perfect! I’ve mentioned this before, but I really love all your little comments, explaining how you handle the transformation, and also the notations of the shrubs and bushes.KUDOS!
I am so proud of you for taking on this work for this gentleman. Hopefully, with the help of friends and family, he can keep it looking neat.
What a transformation..... your generosity not only upgraded the property, but you gave him hopefully a positive outlook going forward.. life is daunting enough, without health issues. Great job❤😊
Thank you on behalf of every who has watched this! It'll be easy for the gentleman to maintain it now. Without the tools, trailer etc, it would of taken ages.
Yes!!! And even if he has to hire someone once in a while to help him, it will be easier to keep up. In reality this could be about a $3,000 dollar job. Fabulously done and a wonderful gift to a struggling man. Thank you!!!!!
Holy Mackerel. That looks soooo much better. Praise GOD! And Thank You, George!!!!
At 70 years old I'm exhausted just watching you! Great job!
The white lilies are are Calla variety, often included at funerals because of the strong scent. Prayers for the gentleman undoing treatment for him to kick cancers butt. Fantastic transformation so far and I can't wait for part 2 ❤
So nice of you. Nothing worse than being sick and too weak to accomplish basic tasks. You want to but just can't. One less thing for him to worry about. Looks wonderful and I'm sure it made him feel better,physically and mentally. You're a doctor of sorts as well. ❤
You are my favorite lawn care human! You go above and beyond for all these people in need. Well done! I’m sure this man is so grateful for your help and hard work.
Wow your kindness and generosity never cease to amaze me! Your professionalism and knowledge of the plants trees and grasses is fantastic this is why you're my favorite horticulturist and you're pretty easy on the eyes too. I can thank you a million times, but that would not be enough really you are my superhero thanks❤❤❤
This was a job! How wonderful for this man trying to get back on his feet. Prayers for his fight with cancer. He has his yard back! One last thing to worry about. Love how you focus on cleaning up sections at a time. So much to haul away! 👏 Love your channel 😊 Seattle says hi
I love this channel because you clean up as you work, and you don't just blow the clippings onto the lawn and leave it. When you are done the area you did your magic on looks so neat and tidy. I also love your little silver can.
That was an enormous yard to clean up!! The owner was glad he called you! Poor man .. cancer is horrible !!
I’m sure the neighbors appreciated your efforts to make this yard look great ! 🥰
This is so sweet. I’m sure that having his yard look amazing will help him emotionally 💕
Outstanding transformation what a difference . The end result has a quite charm. I am sure the homeowner is very pleased
Above and beyond yard mowing. Terrific work.😊
George, I have no words to describe the sense of peace and happiness your cleanups give me. I can only imagine how grateful 🙏🏼the owner of the house felt after you were done. This was awesome 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼! Thank you for doing this! Btw…I am very glad you got that stem out of the fence 😉😃 Have a great day and see you on the next one (hopefully his backyard and that vine 😮💨
Most people are independent,but I’m glad he agreed ,sometimes you have to accept help, this will make him feel a whole lot better, a deserving person for sure😅
Hello George this is my first time watching. Boy that was a overgrown property. Lot of work for one person. You did a fantastic job. It looks great. I know he was happy. Thanks for helping others. 🥰
It's so awesome that you were able to help this homeowner while he is receiving care. The yard was most definitely screaming for help but now thanks to your efforts it is one less burden to overcome and pleasure to enjoy. The transformation looks amazing. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and beautiful work. If allowed I hope to see part II.
What a wonderful video! You made that yard shine for that man! You’re a great, kind person!❤❤❤
What an incredible job!! The difference you made is one of your best. Thank you for helping this man out!💕🇺🇸
George that was so good of you to help them. The property looks awesome George! 💪👷👏🏼🤩🏠
Thank you for helping the man in his terrible time. Great job!
I really appreciate how thorough you are, George. You did a wonderful job and brought light to this home.
You will be so blessed ,I have never seen or heard about any body working for free, my late husband had COPD and could not do hard labour we had to pay for everything no help was ever free of charge,
George, you have graced this client's front yard with with your skills, hard work, determination and removal of bundles of limbs and scattered tree trunks, green waste and yard clippings. It is now a respectable and useful part of the property. I could only guess at the last time the driveway was used as such at +/- 20 years? Thank you for reaching out to this man in his time of need and disability. BTW, some poor folks cast aspersions/doubts on others what they themselves do. Like the proverbial water on the duck's back...sod off. You are aces in my book.🎉😊
Thank you for doing this, I had cancer, so I know how difficult it is to do your own yard work, but I have to ask, why is there a bloody shed in his driveway, and what a great garage the next door neighbor has, a huge shipping container 😂
I wish this dear man lived in my state. I'm in a wheel hair and have diabetes. I can no longer mow my lawn and have no one go help me. I would sure appreciate someone so kind as this!!❤❤
It always amazes me that the neighbors don't offer to help someone in need. Thank you for caring enough to help this person😊
May God bless & reward you mate. Well done great work!
George, I love your work and channel. You do it all, not just mowing and edging. It's worth every extra minute of viewing! Thank you for helping this gentleman. Any chance you'll go back to do his back yard? Would love to see that, too!❤❤ From USA.
The homeowner will not recognize his property when he gets home from the hospital. Amazing job by this Aussie lawncare person. Night and day!
So amazing. My OCD desperately wanted you to rip that invasive ivy off the side of the house! I dearly hope the family will get the two giant trees next to the driveway removed entirely as they obscure the house. I’d bet no one has touched that yard in 30 years! But what a transformation! Well done! I’m sure he’s immensely relieved.
As always George, a pleasure to watch you getting the work done! What a difference you made there, what a transformation and the help you gave the gentleman is wonderful to see! I am so happy he reached out to you and accepted your help. God bless you, see you in the next one!
I have been watching other mowing guys, but your job is the cleanest of them all.
Your yards are always beyond unthinkable, wild. But the way you attack it never fails to impress me 🤯. You are one of a kind Mr. We need more George to help those in need. Bravo!
George, the neighbors will be dancing in the street tonight. Another masterful job! No one does it better!
Hey George! Another great Job 🤗 Happy you left the Calla Lillies. A shame he doesn’t want the backyard cleaned if for no other reason but for the poor dog!
This yard was like cleaning a jungle, fighting your way through to restore a peaceful place for this man to enjoy. Your efforts were outstanding, may God richly bless you in your endeavors
I bet the neighbors were more thankful to you then anyone !
You took a load off the homeowner’s shoulders. He can now open his front door and feel uplifted for a change. Great job.
George, ditto on all your subscriber's comments...and you also inspire the home owner to fight even harder against this insidious disease because of your heart and soul...love and blessings! 💜
So many overgrown bushes and trees, and what a great job taming them. I'm sure his house gets so much more light now. As always, awesome job.
Never knew a lawn mowing video could be this good to watch...🎉🎉💯💯👏👏👍👍
I am just betting that the neighbors are just as happy .😊
Excellence in action! You're very precise, you clean as you go, you haul off the green waste and rubbish, and you mow several times! (I'm sure I'm forgetting something.).
I am looking forward to seeing part II! The ivy should go, the tree by the driveway should go, and the footpath and driveway NEED pressure washing badly.
The back yard! That could be its own video!
Great transformation George! This was a good property to find for your video. From a jungle to a yard.
The homeowner had to work through what he’d like to do and finally accept what his treatment and disease is letting him do. It is hard enough to fight the cancer fight but also coming to mentally realizing he may never physically be able to do the yard work and also face not recovering. It’s hard to come to that realization and accept it and ask for help. It’s a pity family/ friends didn’t step in or pride came in to allow him to acquiesce To help. I hope he has a social worker who is getting him the help he needs! You’re doing a great job for him physically and mentally George! God be with him!
George, you are a force to be reckoned with! I can imagine how overwhelming the yard was for him and you are leaving in a condition so that he can care for it.
Yet another beautiful, detailed transformation! You should have 1M subs! Please be careful out there! Cheers! 😊
Immer eine Freude ihre perfekte Arbeit an Garten Büsche Bäume und auch anderen Tätigkeiten zu sehen.⭐🌟⭐
Huge transformation, I hope the homeowner is doing well. Cancer treatments are really lifesaving but also incredibly difficult on the person
😮Fantastic work….unrecognisable.. best yard in the street!!!❤
You do beautiful work. The world would be a more beautiful place if it had more people like you and the others like you who do things like this and pressure washing, etc. Thank you.
You don’t just take on sloppy and overgrown lawns - you transform Amazon jungles! Beautiful work!
Will there be a Part 2? Clearing up the side yard and the ivy on the house? Just curious. And thank you for doing such a nice thing for someone with cancer. Even when their pride says, "I can do it", their body doesn't have the ability. You're a good man.
That will be all for this property 🙂
@@QCV2Oh no,did he die?😟
@@lauramitchell6725 Not that im aware of 🤷♂
@@QCV2 👍🙌🏻
What a massive clean-up. As always, you did a fantastic job. See you on the next one
Another fabulous job George! It can take a lot to ask for help, so good on the owner for doing so💚. I hope he can focus on his health now with one less concern, I'm sure he's very grateful and you George have definitely done an amazing transformation 🌿
Im just shy of 69 yrs! Omgosh. I love restoring gardens and yards... but my body isnt holding up for the bending and lifting.
It's SO satisfying to watch you do what i can no longer do.
Squat always.
Strengthen your core.
And you won't suffer loss of energy and health!
I watch you work, George, and I get so excited for the home owner. You give them a very valuable gift. You are a beautiful human being!!! ❤️
I would be interested to know how many years it’s been since anything was done on that property. You are a yard miracle worker. Cheers! Ken from Alabama USA
Holy COW what a ton of work this job was. You are one brave man to have taken on that project lolol. I am very proud of all the beautiful work you did and what a transition it was. Great video and God Bless.
That vine actually pulls off fairly easily and quickly. Once you get to pulling at it. That one of my favorite parts to watch is the vine pulling
❤What a blessing you are to this gentleman in his time of need. This yard transformation much have lighten his spirits and brought him much joy. One less item for him to worry about. God bless you as well!!❤
In your experience George, how many years do you think it took for this property to get into that state? I think it took years. But you are the expert.
You did a great job as always and a good deed.
Big job, and you made a big difference.
I would hate to know what the backyard looks like.
It still needs alot more work done.
All the trees or bushes on the right still need more cut off them and shaped. The more the better because this sick man will not get to it. Maybe he didn't want that much cut off.
Even the trees one on the right could be trimmed more because he is not well.
I think the man needed to see if you were legit before he agreed to let you do his garden work.
Generally people don't rock up at one's door and offer to do free work. 😂
The man made the right choice. He really needed help.
You are a good man George. 🤗
Wow! Fantastic job, well done ❤
You doing this for him was SO kind! But when you took the time to put that fallen section of his decorative fencing back up AND stacked the wood up on his stoop, now that was kindness overload!!! Super great job! 😄
I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD DON'T HELP THIS GUY, GOD HAS A LONG ARM
What a wonderful thing to do for this man, I’m sure it will make such a difference for him! You did a great job and I hope there’s a part 2 for the ivy! 😂 You’ve got a new subscriber in Scotland 🏴 and I’m really happy you left some of those Lillie’s on the side! ❤️✌🏻
Welcome 🙂🙋♂
I love your heart, George! ❤ You are my absolute favorite yard care man! Beautiful as always! I'd love to see you do more on this property, owner willing, of course.
God bless you for helping that sick man.
So kind of you to help out people in need. Cancer treatment really takes big toll to someone physically and mentally. So fortunate you are there to offer help. 🥰
