The AUTHORITIES declared it a THREAT to PUBLIC SAFETY after the owner passed away

- I got a tip off email saying that one of the homes on their street is in dire need of my help. She sent me some pictures of it and I went to go see it the next day. Turns out that the owner passed away a couple years ago and nothing has happened with the home. The city posted a note on the front door deeming it a threat to public safety. Well, that isn't going to stop me from making this home look better for the entire neighborhood!

I am continually amazed that some one in the neighborhood does not do what they can to maintain the property. I certainly would if I lived next four or across the street.
My same question all the time….🤔at least by the road /side walk.
Morning Spencer! This is the earliest I've caught your video!😊
@@amyfrancois9121 Yeah, if not the whole yard, at least the sidewalk.
They just set back and let someone else worry about it instead of stepping up and being a good person and neighbor
Yeep this yard would take 20 minutes a week to at least keep in acceptable condition.
An entire city & its government. A whole community. A complete neighborhood. NOTHING done. Then along comes 1 man & shows us ALL what we could have/should have been doing all along. FOR FREE, WITH NO THOUGHT OF HIMSELF. No one offered to help him but many had time to complain. No one brought him a drink or snack. Yet he smiles kindly, says 'for the neighbors' & looks for another place in need. The shame is heavy folks. Thank you, Spencer, THANK YOU!
Very touching statement 👍🙏🏻
I can't believe you tackled this . I guess this one will put you in the LAWN BARBER category. Amazing transformation.
My name is Harry Dardio and I'm a disabled Navy War veteran and I appreciate the work you do. I watch your videos all the time.
Thank you Mr. Dardio for your service to our country! 🇺🇸
Thank you for your service, sir. I appreciate your service and my freedoms that you fought for. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you Mr. Dardio for your service!!!
Thank you for your service sir ❤

It Amazes Me How Stupid Spencer Can Be Bee 🐝 Instead Of Doing The Mowing In A Smart Way He Just Does It In A Complicated Way For Example Instead Of Removing All Of Dirt With An Industrial Machine He Uses A Shovel Instead Of Just Mowing All That Grass Off The Driveway He Uses A Shovel.
Every time I see one of these abandoned properties, I have to wonder why there isn't a system in place to reclaim them for use for HOMELESS VETS... Struggling on SS, disabled and still having to TRY to work, I wouldn't mind just about ANY of these places. They may not be a GREAT place to live, but they would be a blessing to any one of the THOUSANDS of homeless in this country!!
This particular house, the video said, wasn't just abandoned, but was unsafe for habitation. Perhaps after the owner died, squatters used it as a meth lab, or something.
You wouldn't want to put a homeless person in an unsafe house.
@@davesvoboda2785 I'm sure he's just talking "in general" about the idea.
Maybe there could be grants or some kind of financial benefits to entice renovations
@patriciasutton8655
ppl would be likeley to fix their own properties or others if the cities would stop wanting to charge the homeowners fees and forcing them to pay for permits..you cant fix one thing no porch no stairs no broken sidewalks or remove trees without the city coming down on you..ppl around me start their repair projects after 5pm fridays and end them by 5am mondays when theres no city workers or offices open..its their neighbors that do the complaining during the week..we did our porch over the weekend because of that nonsense.
because as sad as that is that would be highly illegal and corrupt of any government entity to do so unless the property acrues backtaxes unpaid fines etc it will stay in the family i hate seeing abandoned homes i myself feel they could be used for the homeless and such but i dont support corruption in the government even if its for that purpose and the sad thing is all of those things you mentioned would be taken care of if we didnt have a corrupt government so we are just stuck in a shitty siuation
I saw here in Seguin Tx on the news about the cat you saved and how you managed on top of that to save the cat rescue place from closing so now you’re going to have to change your title to SB Mowing and animal rescue! You are truly a blessing for both humans and animals God bless you and continue with your awesome videos
I live not too far from you. I’m in garden ridge down the road on 35
That's great news to hear!
God bless your heart!! Lets all look out for our neighbors, as well as our bottom lines
The Go Fund Me for that cat rescue center is over $150K now. I bet they are glad they accepted that cat that Spencer found that day!! I think he originally had it set at $30K goal, but kept upping it. That's insane and also wonderful!
Awesome job your a great young man i pray your blessed beyon messure.
It amazes me that a yard gets so bad in a neighborhood. I am a disabled woman and mowed three of my neighbors yards after I did mine. I was just in a good mood. People are always looking for someone else to be responsible. A Hero so to speak shows up. Glad it’s you!
So are you!
You rock!!💯🤩
Angels among us it's really true 😊!!! 🙏🏠💖👍🌎
I have to think it's been longer than a year since this lawn has had any attention.....maybe three years? You're a blessing, Spencer.
You know, last time I was joking about a hay baler, this time not so much
Good idea imho😅
Totally agree
Yup sounds good to me
I was thinking the exact same thing about a baler, somewhat on a smaller scale.
My thoughts exactly.
Dude, you need a Superman t shirt after that one. Thanks for showing how a little kindness and hard work goes a long way in helping make the world a better place for everyone.
💯 Exactly, put the "SB Mowing" logo instead of the original 'S' 💚
@@UnapologeticallyShayne that, would be soooooo cool..
I agree: Spencer does a great job making neighborhoods look better. But I have to wonder why the neighborhood won't occasionally mow these yards to keep them from becoming a jungle and eye-sore.
Dude that sh!t was massive!😮
@@stevesayer8130 often have the same thought, especially when someone still lives there but is experiencing difficulties.
I don’t know I have ever seen grass that long or that thick. You really do take on the challenges. The difference is unbelievable. God bless.
At the end showing us the finished job!. Wonderful! There was a cat on the lawn next door, he was saying "Thanks Spencer, I got lost in there one day took me hours to find my way out"!
Any word on Esbee's progress. You became a superhero to me when you saved that kitty. Rock on!
He will be up for adoption soon! Unfortunately we can't take him as we have some bad cat allergies in the family.
@@SBMowing That’s quite understandable. But you saved him, and spearheaded the opportunity for so many other kitties to be loved & cared for at the sanctuary. That was a kind and noble deed Spencer. 🐾❤️
Unbelievable amount that has been raised so far for the shelter! You rock Spencer and your great subscribers!
Such an amazing story of good people inspired by a good person to help other good people. I love it! esbee is such a handsome kitty boy. ❤
the shelter gives updates on him on their instagram and tiktok accounts.
As many have said, the neighbours could all get together and clean up that entire property for their own benefit. Everyone could chip in abit. Hire a chain saw and cut up the fallen tree/branches for firewood.
Get rid of dead branches, etc.
It would require a team effort, but once all the worst is done, it would mainly require the grass to be cut.
Get all the junk out of the way. Get it to where there is only grass to maintain.
Not one single neighbour came out to help or offer a drink, yet they called you Spencer.
You are a good man for taking on that catastrophe and had a back breaking job to tackle that jungle alone. Well done. 👏👏
I am awarding you a gold cup and medal. 🏅🥇🌟🏆
lazy horrible people who only care for themselves! disgusting!
This is why I am glad we live in Australia. Most of us look after each other. Great neighbours. We care for each other. You did a great job. Such a difference.
It's because the neighbors don't care. Not their lawn. I hurt my shoulder and not one of my neighbors helped me. Wichita Kansas just doesn't care. Sad but unfortunately it's true.
Amen🎉
Couldn’t agree more. It’s like they know Spencer will be by.
Another amazing job Spencer! You are a good human. God bless!
Thank you so much!
Awesome job the neighborhood is probably sooo thrilled
I don't know where this is but that grass is different from other grasses. Long and stringy looking. Again, a fantastic job. I don't understand the neighbors not helping out and the city seems pretty useless. But Spencer, I watch you video after video with no mask, breathing in the dust and dirt. Please take care of your lungs and wear protection.
I’ve always thought the same thing about needing a mask or respirator. I wonder if there’s a reason he doesn’t?
In Kansas
That grass looks so heavy when you’re shoveling it. You are a miracle worker for communities. ❤
You really needed a hay bailing machine! 😂😂What a job! Well done Spencer!😊❤
You never fail to amaze me. I don't understand how one or more of the neighbors couldn't have mowed it several times. I know that I would have because I wouldn't want it next door to me looking like that. God Bless and Keep You Safe.
It's not their house.
SHAME ON THE CITY, COUNTY in wherever that was. That HEAVY CARPET of BUSH/GRASS whatever u want to call it was for an ENTIRE CREW TO TAKE ON and U DID IT. BY URSELF. As usual an EXCELLENT JOB. THANX A MIL Spencer, may U continue to b PROSPEROUS and SHOWERED WITH BLESSINGS. 👏🏽👍🏽🙏🏽🥰
Absolutely! I don't care for people shaming the neighbors. Whatever agency seized the property is responsible for its maintenance. It's nice that SB Mowing took care of it, but I'd rather make the city do their job and take care of it.
I’m thinking in Florida Texas South Carolina Georgia Alabama Mississippi or even Louisiana.
You’re the MAN Spencer!!💯😀👍🏾
Livestock the world over were salivating over that grass! What a job!
Wow wow wow great job you deserve to win the ultimate award for sharing kindness 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉thanks again for your kindness 😊🎉❤
Neighbors are going to have to step their yard game up, you put that neighborhood eblast! What an overwhelmingly awesome job! 👏👏👏
Wow! That grass was soooo tall and dry! What a FIRE hazard!! You would think the next door neighbors would help keep it cut for that reason alone!! Another AMAZING job SB Mowing!! 👏 👏👏
Agree. "Not my problem" is dead wrong. Fire, especially on tall, thick grass is a danger to the homes on either side, even if not withing 500 yds. And then it becomes their BIG problem.
I'd have thought city would step in ... I guess city is like yeah it's on the agenda for 2030
It’s still a fire hazard because none of the grass was removed.😢
@@marianm2680 My guess is that particular city must not do that due to financial problems/their city budget is too strapped. Lots of cities have lawns like this mowed & then bill the homeowners, & then if the bill goes unpaid, they place a lien on their property. I suspect more & more cities have quit doing this because of the increased # of poor people = many more out of control lawns & more expenses the city never recoups or it takes a very long time to recoup any money.
@@mrcryptozoic817 Yeah, I'd maintain a vacant home's lawn in my neighbourhood to protect my own home. Fire isn't a huge concern where I am but I'd be motivated to do it for the safety and property value of my own home. I was wondering if there was a reason that neighbours couldn't maintain the lawn. Like, liability reasons or something.
That property got a nice haircut.
The whole neighborhood should appreciate your very fine work.
Wow all that grass on driveway & sidewalk….amazing work !! 😊
Потрясающе!!!В одиночку осилить такой огромный объем работы…Я да и не только я , уверена в полном восторге от увиденного и, конечно, огромное уважение ему.👍👍👍🇺🇸
This has to be the tallest, thickest grass I have seen on this channel. Unreal.
I know exactly where that house is in Corpus Christi. I'm sure the neighborhood thanks you, and the City of Corpus Christi. Awesome job. And HOWDY from South Texas!
Awesome job also Thank you for helping the cat you saved
Wow that was a jungle! All credit to you Spencer for a massive clean-up. A pity the neighborhood didn't pitch in to help out, after all it was for their benefit.
The City is a Disgrace for letting this get so Bad...=((
so are the neighbors
Most city's have a Code Enforcement department...=)@@drkrpain
Welcome to Corpus Christi
@@jeffreyclick5091 I could care less about Corpus Christi but you know EVERY town has places like that.
@@drkrpain Lazy neighbors, yep
Spencer, you need a piece of farm equipment to get through this grass! Maybe borrow a few goats. They'd get through it pretty fast. You are so wonderful to take on this property! This one is in the top 5 of all time worst yards! Great job!
Omg, Spencer, this was crazy. That grass was THICK. AWESOME JOB.
I’m in awe that its supposedly 😳ONLY been since last last spring that this yard had been mowed… but IF it was, you’ll never convince me that the city also cleared the driveway or walkways… truly remarkable!!! You are such a blessing to others🥰
Since you have done this very hard transformation for them it would be nice that as a community the neighbors might come to a shared agreement to maintain it since it is an abandoned property. It would help the curb appeal of that neighborhood as well as discourage any squatters from sneaking in. TY for going the extra mile for that neighborhood.
God bless and Best wishes from San Antonio, TX.
Great job!
Also: shame on all of the neighbors for not doing anything to help their neighborhood.
I agree. If, for some reason, all of the grass where to catch on fire, 😮it would be a disaster for the neighbors. Something they might think about.
The whole time I was thinking the same thing, especially the people on either side of that property. What a shame.
I think to bag up all the lawn clippings would of been a excellent finish to the yard. Some areas looked like they were bagged and other areas clippings are left on the yard.
Because the neighbors are not oblige to do it. And theres nothing to be ashamed about. Its your self righteous mind which is wrong judging neighbors, and again they are not oblige😏😏
Great job! It never ceases to amaze me that neighbors of over grown lawns don’t mow it. They know the last time it was mowed but they haven’t done it themselves. People seem to just not care anymore.
The yard isn’t that big either that it would take much extra time. Hopefully they will now that Spenser has it cleaned up. Thanks Spencer for what you do for your community.
Some people are scared of what kind of litigation might be brought against them for trespassing, even though they are improving the lot.
@@dallasarnold8615 Exactly.
The 'no good deed goes unpunished' deal.
Lazy folks
You are a superhero. Well done, young man 😊😊😊
What a HUGE transformation. You did a fantastic job.
Who needs Superman, we have super Spencer. He can take something that looks like this yard and make it look like this. Keep up the amazing work that you do.
Just finding the curb, the sidewalks, the fence and the driveway is a big deal for this house! 🎉
You do such a great job with those sidewalks. Whenever I see the fallen trees, I think of all that wonderful firewood. You could definitely profit from it. I know you have your reasons but I liked it when you used to pick up the clippings. It was your cherry on the top
You're a wonderful man for helping out!
That was crazy! Great job, Spencer!
You did an awesome job!!! Since you did all the hard work to make it look awesome, there is no reason why the neighbors can't continue to keep up what you started. It's their neighborhood.
Spencer, I have a great idea 💡 for you. I noticed one time a landscaper doing a lawn like in this and I watched him and noticed he was using a floor scraper it was a model Mk Diamond Products 167676, he had a small generator on the truck to power the Floor Scraper, you may want to check ✔️ it and it may help you complete the job faster and you do need to break your ass with shovel 😅
That's brilliant, I've been thinking for a long time that someone should make a less back breaking tool for this job. I wonder how heavy it is to load/unload.
He’ll need a bigger truck.
All I could think was that this job required a hay thresher and baler! Turns out, all it needed was the undaunted SB, his gear and that amazing mower! Another great job, Spencer!
I thought grass only grew that high on ranches. You made enough hay for 10 horses, and you did a great job. God bless you.
Spencer that was unbelievable. That lawnmower is a beast. I would have never thought it would have cut that high stuff. Great job on that driveway. Thanks for caring about the communities.
You Rock!!!!
You did one hell of a job. To say you had your work cut out for you is an understatement!
It's such a cute little house. Such a shame that it's left standing empty. Wish I lived there!
I don’t think I have ever seen grass so long and thick before. Seems neighbours arnt helpful. You did an outstanding job. Bless you. Please take care of yourself
Holy crow! Now that's a LOT of grass! Usually there a ton of weeds intermixed but this looks mostly like grass. GREAT JOB, Spencer!
The way that grass was laying over it musta been at least 3’ long. It actually looked more like a hay field than a lawn. Spencer you did the community a very favor and made walking safer for everyone not to mention allowing the water to drain properly. That was a surprising long driveway, making for lots and lots of shoveling and trimmer work. Night and day difference in before and after shots. Awesomeness loving the drone shots.
I have never seen hay grown on concrete. Wow
It’s amazing how quickly Mother Nature can envelop a property. Great work! ❤
WOW!
Lots of grass!
Very nice job!
You know, last time I was joking about a hay baler, this time not so much!
Your work on this property changed the look of the neighborhood for the better!!! Great job, Spencer!!!
Even though I did not know the deceased owner, I'd like to thank you for your service, I am sure they were smiling down upon you. God Bless.
Great job as always!! I cannot imagine how one person can do that yard!! You are an amazing young man!! Love your attitude and your work ethic...see you next video!
What a difference this guy makes! Great job 🙂
You are the only person who would take on such horrible job. God bless the work you do to help the neighborhood.
Spencer!!!!! Oh my gosh dude! This was THE WORST one EVER! God Bless you. So glad the Harrison Butker has been a supporter. Go Chiefs! We love you dude! -Ron & Brenda in Overland Park KS.
I am glad there are no snakes while you are doing the front and back yards. What you do is hard labor , it’s amazing you do it without pay. I hope the good deed you do comes back to you a thousand fold. God bless and keep you and take care.
His videos are averaging 300k-1 million views, he's probably making several thousand per video. And some of his videos are hitting 20M views. He's getting paid.
Corpus Christi should be praising the work you do to clean up the city. How many loads of grass did you have to drop at the land fill. If someone had horses or cows that extra long grass would have fed them for several week or more. Great effort and the neighborhood looks so much better thanks to you 😊
He doesn't take grass to the landfills.
@annjustus what does he do with all that grass and debris ? Do you know ? There is so much !
@@judyhawthorne205 Sometimes he puts it in the back or just blows it back on the lawn. Have you tried "Tim the Lawnmower man" or "Quick Cuts" or "Blademate Lawncare" ? They take the debris to the landfill, they call the "tip" in Australia. "Fil's Lawncare" is good too. He's up in the northwest, US.
😊
Wow, just a sea of overgrowth!! Great job as usual Spencer!! 2 Million subs coming soon!!
Such a lovely little house, although the neighbours are a bit much - they couldn't offer you a drink or help of any kind? Speaks volumes. Good job on tidying up that forlorn little home, hopefully someone appreciates it soon.
You needed a hay bailer for this one! I'm impressed with your string trimmer. The neighbors must be very happy. You're a gem, Spencer!
I feel very exhausted añd tired watching you cleaning that so overgrown grass.. I can't imagine the hand blister.... thank you for helping a community looking good...God bliss you.
I thought there must be a lot of dirt on top of the concrete for such tall grass to grow there. It looks like instead the grass is just growing up through the cracks and growing extremely tall and spreading far and wide. Man that stuff is something else!
That one was CRAZY! Great transformation.
Thank you very much, SB Mowing, for constantly uploading these excellent videos so that I can see them again in the near future. ™
Please have a nice day today. ™
You could have gotten a couple of bales of hay out of that yard.
Or bring a cow and a couple of goats to eat all that grass...LOL
Great job Spencer! You are an angel sent from God!
People appreciate you much more than you will ever know! ThumbsUp
It's a shame when someone dies that no family is around or shows interest in what was left behind. As a 71 year old man, I see such potential I that little place!! God Bless you for what you do!!
My 94 year old Dad, just passed. He lived on his own, we helped, but he wanted to be in his own house by himself! No one could come in except family and no one was going to live with him! He lived an hours drive from us so someone had to stop by all the time. We finally told him he had to stay with my sister. He went to the hospital the next day. Died 2 days later, with a rosary in his hand surrounded by family. He lived the way he wanted . You never know.
LOL watching Spencer mow and clean up lawn is like watching a CALM video❤
Astounding difference. You are an angel on earth.
Boy that is a strong mower!
God bless you for blessing others!
It better be for what they cost!!!
I'm astonished that neighbors are willing to answer your questions, but not willing to come together collectively for the sake of human safety to maintain that grass...very sad. I also think while the city had time to deem that place unsafe...they have just as much time to donate financially to your services. So happy to know people like you are walking the earth doing what you do!!!
I was thinking the same. That grass was insane. There's no way I could live next to that. If I couldn't mow it, or get the city to tackle it, I would have paid to have it mowed. But long before it got that out of hand. SB is amazing!
Thinking the exact same thing. Apparently not a very neighborly neighboorhood.
@@doingitinthedirt Seriously! Like no one expects you to also clean the backyard or pull down all the vines, but when you are mowing your own yard anyway, go the extra 8 feet and keep it under control. That entire front yard would probably only add a few minutes for someone already mowing if they just kept it under control.
You are AN EARTH ANGEL😘
😢 I think this job is not as good as most of his work to rushed and left the grass on the lawn spoilt what could have been a good job ,may be that was the idear but he trying to sell to much and keeping his mind on the job at hand ,,from the land down 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 keep up the good work and make shore the ones that need it get it .not the free loaders we have here in Aust to,🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋
Great service you're doing for the people around this community. God bless you
Hai fatto un bellissimo gesto!!! Ci sono tizi che criticano ma non muovono un dito....lo vedo nel condominio dei miei genitori..... Tutti bravi a parlare ma i fatti non si vedono. Ti ringrazio per il tuo lavoro!!! Bravo!!!
With as much grass as you encountered on this site you could have invited a farmer to come and bale it into a large bale to feed his livestock. That was an incredible bit of work.
Since my fellow Floridian, Al Bladez, has ceased weekly posts, I have enjoyed your content so much more. Keep it up, if you can.
I hope Mrs. SB has a happy Valentine’s!
Trouble is, there is no small scale baler. And they aren't inexpensive.
I miss bladez...
@@xoxshannananxox Al is coming back. He posted on his second channel. Being dealing with life.
I miss Bladez too.
Wow Spencer. This one tops the list of holy cow… you would have thought that the guy who brought this house to your attention would have at least come down to offer his help. Another great job friend!
This is a lot of work for 2 or 3 people. I applaud your dedication and say thank you for helping others. It’s what God wants. God Bless ❤
Amazing job, Spencer!
What is the world coming to that neighbors can’t help each other. You are a wonderful person Spencer
Shame huma ity 😢
It isn't their house.
Great job! Sad... Another property that the city needs to deal with besides letting it become a hazard for the neighborhood. If neighbors knew their neighbor died, why not cut the (small) yard so it doesn't become an eyesore for the neighborhood? Again, I appreciate the work you do for your community. Take care!
Blankets and blankets of grass. Excellent job. Amazing Thank you
Ooh wow! That’s some mean matted long grass! So satisfying watching you revealing the path 🙌
That is 1000% better, great job Spencer.
You’ve opened that place up so it’s charm can shine through. Wow, SB! ✨🌟✨
You're a great asset in your community. Congrats
Of course we stay to the end. The before and after is a very impressive to see. Some are truly remarkable. You have transformed a bunch of yards and neighborhoods with your work.
I don’t know why watching your videos is so fulfilling, but the transformation is so satisfying. It’s good to see people like you doing your best to keep “America Beautiful”!
You totally rock!!! You help people and ask for nothing!!! God bless you please continue to keep rocking!!!
This is the first video that I have watched and seen you struggle. Hats off to you for the amazing work that you do.
Wow!! What an amazing job...you are so kind to people
Spenser: that city had a safety issue and should have done something about it. I bet those neighbors were so happy with what you did for them. It was like day and night. Well done, but a huge job. Carol from California
No city crew would have done what Spenser did. 😧
I love the pride you take in your work. You have a solid work ethic and do a great job. Awesome video!
Again, YOU'RE AMAZING. I don't know how you do all that BY YOURSELF. 👍👍👍😊 thank you for caring.
I need a nap after watching you with this yard. I’m exhausted.
