I TRANSFORMED this ABANDONED house and the NEIGHBORS thought I was CRAZY

- This house makes the neighborhood look horrible. It's the 2nd house right when you drive in and the yard hadn't been mowed in quite some time. I knocked on the door hoping someone would answer, but after speaking with the neighbor, I found out that it was abandoned. I pulled out all the stops trying to contact the owner with no luck. After about 2 weeks, I decided to take it into my own hands...

The homeowner may never know what you did but neighbors are grateful. Thank you Spencer. 💯⭐💯👍🏻😇❤️
Thank you for watching!
If she did, she'd surely be thankful! Very nice job! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
No kidding! He just brought up the property value in the whole neighborhood in 4 hours. He's a saint.
Maybe they are dead... Look in the local register...
You did a good thing. Shame neighbors couldn't take turns doing it.
You are the first lawn care dude who has mentioned grass being deadly to motorcyclists,thank you,
Wow! Did not know overgrown grass is a hazard to motorcycles. You learn all kinds of things watching this channel.
Cats eye100 yes if rain or sand gets on the leaves they get slippery.
Please bag and dispose the clippings.
Looks so much better. Abandon homes are such an eye sore to the neighborhood. I would think that keeping it clean would also keep squatters out too. Nice job Spencer. Yes, grass clippings are definitely dangerous for motorcycles.
The owner was an elderly woman. She may be in a nursing home or has passed away and you know how long it takes to deal with that stuff. You are an angel, sir. You help make this world a better place. Thank you.
The parents of this guy must be really proud to have such a good hard working son. You don't see such a hard worker much any more.
Yo estoy asombrada de la cantidad de maquinaria y cómo la maneja
Parece un anuncio de maquinaria maravillosa. Manejada por joven maravilloso.👍🤩👌🙏😇
So true. I'm so very proud of him and never met him. 💓
You do in Fl. Especially summer when sone go up north or hide in-house
There are plenty of hard working people left in the world. Don’t tar everyone with the same brush.
@@Robdutton91 yes I agree Rob. I may have worded it wrong. I guess most of my experience with hard workers comes from my daughter's (25) generation. She is a very hard worker but when I see most of her friends and classmate's doing the same thing they did in high school its kind of hard to look at the whole picture. They are either doing drugs or still riding their bicycles around town. By this time in their life they should have at least 8 years of work or training or going to college. I just wonder how they are gonna ever going to move forward. Some of them still live with mom and dad and don't have to work. I do still have faith for the generations to come but it's wearing pretty thin. JS
As a person who formerly lived next door to a house like this, I say thank you so very much for helping the neighborhood.
Mary Ann Beatty, where is this house located, not the address just the city/state?
@@judithanderson4450 great house right!
Just shows what a great neighbour you were ,,, in that you did not help the owner out and mow it for him !!!! says it all you just moan about it rather than help
I remember during the recession of '08-'09, we had three foreclosures on our block. In the Spring, summer, and fall, my neighbors and I took turns caring for the landscaping to keep it clean. We even cleared the driveways and walkways when it snowed. Seems like a "lost art" these days. Thanks for bringing it back SB Mowing! Great job!
That is so cool!!! Thank you for watching Dan!
You all are the exception I'm afraid! Thanks for being good people! You too, SB mowing!👍😉
@Dan Crespo That is very cool !! Bravo to you & your neighbors!
Nice work. Good 👍
@@SBMowing
I wish you knew a tree trimmer who'd come to finish the job. Not many people like you though. Thank you for reminding me of the 1950's when neighbors helped neighbors.
The neighbors are wrong, you're not crazy just a great guy with all the right tools. Thank you SB Mowing. It looks terrific.
Hey Spencer: thank you for your kindness & generosity. Not only did you make the property look better, you also minimized the likelihhood of vermin infestation. Years ago I moved in with my sister in Dallas, TX in a house situated next to an untended corner lot. Before I got there my sister had recurring problems with intruders & ENORMOUS rats getting into the house. The grass & weeds had grown to 5+ feet high, which provided cover for both types of pests. I bought a used lawn mower & started keeping the lot mowed which eliminated the problems. Again, thank you for your loving service. You did MUCH more than just make the property look pretty; you literally made the neighborhood safer.
What makes me so sad is to realize that this was a beloved and well taken home for, probably a very long time. 💔….life can be so cruel. Thank you Spencer to giving this HOME some wrll deserved LOVE. Someone, somewhere, is smiling. You are an angel
Amen 🙏
This is what l call giving a home a face lift , what a good person , and heart , God Bless 🙏🏼
I think this gesture is an awesome example of compassion for home owner and even greater dedication to your craft. I enjoy watching your episodes because yard work and gardening have been my passion for all my life until I became unable physically to continue. Thanks for your example.
If I had a yard, I’d hire you! It’s people like you that restore my faith in humanity. And thank you for being conscientious about motorcycle drivers and the grass in the street.
I hope the lady is doing okay. I wish she could have a caretaker living there, or rent it for some extra income, if she can't live there herself. You made it look nice for her. I kinda want to go plant flowers in those flower boxes now!
Me too.
@@lucineasima2012 Same.
It was starting to look spooky, and you brought it back to life. Keeps squatters from discovering the house, and much safer for the entire neighborhood. Now it looks nice and neat and clean. Great job !!!!
@Lisa B Couldn't have said it better myself what you've said
I said the same thing about inviting squatters.
My thoughts exactly! Thanks for watching.
The real tragedy is that the house is abandoned while there are people who could use it. I hope the homeowner sells it, might be easier for them now with the fresh cut.
At least with squatters, the house is actually being used instead of just being a waste of materials and space.
Sad to say, being 85 there's a good chance she's in a nursing home or something now, and records haven't updated. Covid's hit a lot of elderly hard, not just through fatalities, but loss of caregivers, etc. Glad to see someone stepping up, even if the owner can't/won't ask for the help.
Covid is not to blame for much... think for yourself
@@spaceghost5026 What an asshole thing to say to her.
If the lady is in care then ultimately this place may have to be sold to pay her medical bills…
@@spaceghost5026 Other than a million or so dead but your radio pundits have lied to you and you fell for it! Actually the "excess" deaths are also very high!
I agree. I am one of the many caregivers who was hit when COVID started. The vulnerable community in which I work also suffers when we can't get to them and it has hit them hard. Many didn't want us in their homes cause of fear of getting sick or the caregiver not being vaccinated. Just to be able to get into the home we had to get vaccinated and show our vaccination card.
This reminds me of an experience I had in the late 1980’s. We bought a house in a new subdivision and there were a few lots left vacant. Most of the neighbors took decent care of their yards but the sidewalk was ignored and started growing monster weeds. I went around the whole subdivision (60 houses) spraying Roundup on the weeds in the sidewalk, and a couple of days later I went out and pulled or dug them all out. Even the vacant lots looked better! The neighbors all thought I was nuts but eventually I noticed that several sections of sidewalk were now being kept up by someone other than me. So even though some people didn’t like what I was doing, others were inspired by it. That was a big win!
Roundup is never a win… poison ☠️
@@VelvetyMoon I had a friend who was working on her PhD in biology back then who
Sorry, sent it before it was finished! This friend said it was fine to use, and we even cleaned up our church parking lot with it. According to her it became inert after 24 hours or so, especially if it was in the Sun. Now we are more cautious about it but back then I felt I had done my due diligence so I used it.
Use it in small amounts outdoors and only pull the dead weeds with gloves and after significant time (allow some rain). You'll be okay
I wished you lived close to me!
I can’t believe how satisfying it is to watch someone clean up an abandoned yard. Good job!
You should check out dirty rug and car cleaning videos. Also, very satisfying transformations.
@@vivianraw- 🤣.. I thought I was the only weirdo that did the 3 "Satisfyers"....
We need to take care of those as neighbors, elders and those struggling. As you are cleaning, the yard had areas that were not safe for an elder, as the walkway section with growth on it and bushes shoving over the walk. At 85, that is a large home for an elder to care for and apparently she no longer can. Appreciation for honoring her love of her home and neighborhood.
Neighbors should be willing to help. It took you, an outsider, to care about their neighborhood. Blessings on you!
I hope whoever is responsible for assisting the older person with the home is able to reach out and show their appreciation. In the meantime, good on you for making the area better for local residents.
Thank you for thinking of others above yourself. You are an amazing angel.
Hey Spencer! Nice job. When thieves see a home where the yard/lawn is overgrown, it’s their so called invitation to break in. God bless you for all you do.
You are so kind to do this for this elderly lady! Great job!!!
He didn't do it for the elderly lady. He did it for himself because he didn't like the way it made his street look.
You’re not a gardener. You’re an artist! Well done. 👍🏻❤️
My guy low-key broke onto a property to mow cuz he was getting tired of seeing it.
Love it
You made that house into a home. Almost alive, proud! You are a great person
I use to volunteer for Christmas in April to help the elderly fix up & clean their houses. You're a blessing to everyone you help and hope you are financially rewarded.
Hopefully someone can save the property before it's too far gone. Nice work!
It TAKES a village to make a community strong. Step up, each and every individual-reach out and HELP one another..... we've all become to slack these days and our selves as number 1......
Spencer, you did one hell, of a nice job on this beauty!
I would of made you dinner what your doing is keeping Vernon out and the outside 👍
Great job Spencer! Helping out a whole community by taking care of this yard
I can't think of any greater example of "love thy neighbor as thyself." You have a charitable heart and a kind spirit. God bless you, my friend.
Another great job you did. It is so sad to see home abandoned and nobody living there. Houses go downhill fast when there is no life inside.
Wow! What a difference you made. Now please excuse me while I go take at least 15 Allegra...just watching this video makes me sneeze!
Happen ro my grama house. It was like 7 days after she passed...spooky
Your so right about houses going downhill with out people inside. Here in ga a lot of owners will board up a house while it's up for sale- in bad areas usually -but I'm amazed how they think the house will be " locked in "time. The heat and humidity kill empty houses in ga.
❤ you are AMAZING Spencer! Another stunning transformation.
I appreciate your due diligence in trying to reach the owner, and your public service for this elderly lady. Nice job.
Man, what a cool looking house under all that overgrowth. Makes me want to go there and uncover the rest of the house. I bet it's awesome. Looks 1000% improved!
Sad neighbors, family, organizations don't help people with medical issues etc. Really seems most people only care about themselves. Glad you did this.
Church’s could do this. Find out from members who needs help
God bless you 🙏❤️
Hey SB, Great to watch someone who takes pride in their workmanship and community. Plus you share your skills without conditions placed on the homeowners. Great spirit.
I love how my man’s takes time off his day to help people mow their yard power-wash and make his neighborhood look nice! Keep up the great work SB!
What you did for the neighborhood is valuable; you've helped to keep their homes safe in addition to maintaining their property values. Thanks for your hard work!
What a great job!! Bet the neighbors are happy too. You always do a great job. Thank you for all you do.
We all love what you do.. how about us chipping in a few bucks each to help cover your costs! Post a mailing address
The path up to the house is surprisingly wide! It's amazing what you uncover in your work
Thank you for cleaning up this person property. Hopefully, other people will see your work and do the same.
My neighbors are both active military with 4 kids, so when I mowed my grass today I mowed their stuff too ( at least their front yard to help out.) Our other neighbor’s husband had Covid, so I offered to mow their front yard and she declined. Then made a bunch of rude statements about me mowing the military family house. I’ve never been talked down so much for being nice.
You did a good thing the other neighbor must have a mental problem or it may be a character problem.
The military family was very pleased I’m sure! The crazy lady………no comment!🙁
Unbelievable. Just remember u get the good karma and your neighbor, well.....
What a mean, nasty old woman!
You are supposed to be a mind reader, and know she really meant yes.....😮
Every time you and others do this, help houses breathe. Looks nice. Thank you!👍
I’m sure the neighbors appreciate the work you have done! Again looks great!
I love the walkway up to the porch, so sad to see a house with potential go to waste but you did an amazing job!!
Dear Takisa, I know what you mean, it IS sad to see a potentially lovely home just sit and rot away, especially when there are so many people who would love to renovate it, or at least redecorate it,and live there. I wonder why the owners haven't redecorated the house and rented it out??? Love from Amanda in Australia
I like those planters out by the sidewalk. How nice if someone put some flowers in there
@@amandajones6481 I believe he said the owner is elderly maybe 85. No one seems to be able to contact her. He tried several different ways so he is just taking care of it so it’s not such an eyesore in the neighborhood.
He always makes it look great!
In Venezuela if a house is abandoned or no one is taking care of the place any homeless person can have with all the debt on the house write off
Wow! You work hard. So happy to see young people who still care. Great job.
It's great to see someone stepping up and helping the neighborhood and community. Great job at making this yard come back to life.
Doing the dirty work that no one else will do. That takes true heart, doing what's right when no one else will. You were raised right Spencer much respect to you cleaning up this neighbourhood.
Wow...beautiful job! How kind of you to care about and help people with needs. As I was watching you manicure and trim meticulously you reminded me of a person getting cleaned up in a barber shop. You should call yourself...The Lawn Barber.
Great job!!
Along time ago, we had a house in our neighborhood go under with the bank. We would mow and keep it looking good ourselves. We didn't want to look at it all messy and bring our area down. You did a great job
Nice one Spencer, the edging really brightens up the house/property, maybe the home owners family will contact you to get the rest of the foliage taken care of and then the home will really be great looking curb appeal
I think that was a wonderful job you did not only for the owner but for the neighborhood. I would not think you were crazy if I was a neighbor but would have helped you. Thank you for keeping America cleaned up!!!
Not only is it heartwarming to see this young man do such a kind thing cleaning up this yard and making it look so nice, but surprising to me, I'm finding it fun and very relaxing watching him use the different tools, and ride the cool lawnmower around tackling the grass haha bless him for his hard work, and the yard looks beautiful now. I'd love to live in that old house. They don't make them like that any more 🤗❤👍🏾🌼🌻👏🏾
It's nice to know that there are still kind hearted people in the world, who are willing to do for others, without expecting something in return. Thank you for being kind. I remain hopeful that others, after watching your video's, will pay it forward. How awesome would the world become !
It's so awesome what you did, not just for the home owner but even for the community. Awesome job.
This is a beautiful property - hope somebody picks it up soon. Thanks for taking the time to help this house and yard look great. That's a lot of hard work! Always look forward to your Friday videos!
You are my HERO. You are a super young man that helped your neighborhood and the elderly homeowner. May GOD bless you for your kindness. Love hugs and prayers🥰
If I was a neighbor I would be thrilled you did this! Thank you 🙏. Property value just went up in the neighborhood.
Awesome transformation.
I know the neighbors appreciated it.
I would love to see the bushes trimmed back to reveal more yard and sidewalk, but I understand your hesitation. Thanks for taking care of the neighborhood!
Spencer, any word less than "stunning", or, "fabulous" is NOT a strong enough adjective to describe what a job you'd done to this home! Stay on track, you lift the neighborhood with the new look at each home you clean up!😁👍⭐⭐⭐ Doug
May God continue to bless you and your business,Spencer❤️🙏🏽
It already looked better 3.5 minutes into the video. Good job👍🏻😃❤️🦊
Nice clean up! It is a real shame that this elderly woman didn't have anyone to help her with her property, but you did the clean up and made the house look much better for all the neighbors! You are a good man to take this one on!
This makes you smart not crazy , the neighbor that thought you were crazy should have came and help . Like you said , the house was like a sore thumb , it stood out but brings the neighborhood down and you was the only person who cared . God Bless you and all that you do . You're definitely a Blessing to your neighborhood , God Bless 🙏🏽👍🏽🙏🏽💯👵🏽
We had a house like this in our neighborhood, in 06 and 07. The guy was a drunk and let it foreclosure. Neighbors all took turns and did same as you are. Thank you Sir, for giving a fig! Job well done! 🧡🌿🌺
You are so awesome! You make my Fridays! Love sharing your videos with kith and kin.
I have not heard the term 'kith' for over 40 years, thanks!
@@TheDirge69 I’ll be 61 next month. Been using it since college!
I wish more young people were like you. Another great job and hope many blessings come to you!
Thank you for the great service you do daily. I'll love to live in a community where people like you truly care.
Great job, It looks amazing! We all need to pitch in to keep our neighborhood looking great. I’m glad you cleaned the grass out of the road!!!! Keep doing what you’re doing! You are a blessing to homeowners!!!
I have come across your videos recently and now actually look for you what you do is so lovely on every level. There was a time when neighbors would see someone struggling and step into help. Now I'm sure these neighbors are very pleased to see that it is done let's pray your kindness will show them that perhaps if they just take turns keeping up the property it will help everyone's property value in return and also hey helping that homeowner whoever they are what a blessing you are and I hope more and more people pay attention and do the same God bless you thank you for what you do
Takových obětavých lidí je dnes už málo a ty patříš mezi ně. Myslím, že i sousedé budou vděční. Dům vypadá obydleně a tak to i pro okolí je bezpečnější. Patří ti velký dík za takovou dokonalou práci. Všechno prokouklo.💯👍👍👍❤
Job well done. It must be very dry there? What city/state are you?
@@maxineantoine6591 Česko
It's very good of you to take this project on. The whole time I was watching all I could think of was that you don't have any ear protection on, which makes me worried for you down the road. Losing your hearing is no joke and I'd hate for you to have to deal with that in the years ahead. I hope you'll consider it and protect yourself. 60 year old you will thank you.
You did a great job on this house and you certainly did your due diligence trying to contact the owner. What a blessing to this neighborhood to have that yard cleaned up! Well done!!
It's looking pretty dry there too. All the yards here are turning yellow, even the tall overgrown stuff. Hopefully we all get some rain soon.
You do an amazing job. I wish you had a way to dispose of the extra grass. Still, it looks 100% better than it did. Thank you for what you do to help people out.
I know, I was watching and waiting to see him rake up and bag all that mown grass lol. Would have made a great difference. At least in the front yard would have been nice to do it, the wind can blow it back into the road again.
I was thinking a shop vac maybe? And then just dump it into a bin. There must be a reason he didn't do that
@@guen4413 My guess is because he was doing it for free lol. I would have done the same thing he did. The work that he did in just edging, will save a lot of time for the next person that mows it.
I agree. With the grass cut so very short, and so much mown grass left sitting atop in a mat, won't the grass beneath completely die now?
Why don’t landscapers bag the grass anymore? I’ve noticed them cutting lawns like this before.
You are kind. Need more people like you. I hope the neighbors keep up your good work. That is one awesome mower!
Hey, SB, how come you don't put your sign in the yard for a few days after you provide such a wonderful service? Let the neighbors know who to be thankful for and who to call!
Great job Spencer, it looks sooooo much better, well done. Keep up the good work and be safe out there! 💪👊💯👍
How thoughtful of you!
She might be in the hospital, a nursing home or passed. Still you did everything you could.
There's a house like that in my neighborhood, where the elderlyperson had passed & someone did finally Mow the front & left the back, sad 😥
You did a Great job by helping your Community!
Thank you & God bless 🙌
I don’t know why, but watching yards getting cleaned up is so intriguing and satisfying. 😊 Thank you! You should seriously consider wearing a dust mask to protect your lungs.
I love that you do this. I've been needing help and can find no one. I'm 72, have a bad hip and a shoulder replacement and have congestive heart failure problems. Thank you for your kindnesses!
Looks amazing, Spencer! I have no doubt all the neighbors are grateful!!
Well done!! 💥👍🏆
What a beautiful job you did!! I’m sure the homeowner and/or her family will appreciate you taking care of it. I know the neighbors do!! 💜
I absolutely love the fact you get back to your community like this God bless you young man.
We need more people like you in this world ! You will be blessed for your deeds!!!
What a great job! I'm sure the owners family are greatful to you. Love your videos. Keep up the wonderful work and stay safe!
If I lived next to this house, I would mow it. At least the front. Knowing a Sr. owned it and not able to care for it is more than enough for me to reach out and help. Don't like to sound negative but...... People just don't want to help now days unless they get paid. Thank you for doing this ❣️
Yeah, we also don't know the neighbors situation either. Sure their is kept up, but they may be paying for service as well and it may not be in their budget to pay x2.
@@dastugel if not the one right next door ...... There are other's. Just a general comment. People tend to not help each other now days. From my experience anyway.
Watching this yard transformation was actually quite satisfying
Watching your beautiful family as you plant yourselves deeply into the Soil of your new home has helped keep me (and all of us, no doubt!) sane throughout this pandemic. Thank you for being so generous in sharing your lives and positivity. The world could use a dose of your family every week to be a better place.
I love your work ethic and the passion you have for what you do. I look forward to your videos!
Spencer, thank you for making a difference in that neighborhood and wherever you go. It looks really nice! God bless!
That was a job well done all because you care about the neighborhood. I wish people who are able could do this for their own properties. You are a great inspiration to us all.🤩🙏
Your attention to detail satisfies my OCD…I could watch for hours! Such a great humanitarian service you provide😃
Hi Spencer, another great episode and very inspiring. Hopefully this is a question that I've just overlooked somewhere (and apologies if so) - but it would be great if you had an FAQ page or video that just went over the equipment that you use, both the lawn and camera/video stuff. I'm sure that there are many others that would be interested in these, as well.
Nice job as usual Spencer- thanks for contributing to the quality of the neighborhood.
Another great before and after! I'm sure if the owner could see it, she would be so happy!
If I lived next door, I would have been keeping it up for the little old lady! Your an angel for doing it!
Great job Spencer 👍 glad you just went ahead and mowed this property despite all the road blocks. I know the home owner will appreciate this.
Great job man! Keep it up. Making places look good one property at a time!
Gray McMichael hey n how are you? I second your comment he has a big heart may God bless him n bless you too
Spencer, you completely transformed the face of this neighborhood! ❤️
