As you all know when I spot an overgrown lawn, I like to investigate a little bit more. Luckily when I came across this one, the neighbor was grabbing his mail so I hopped out of my truck to talk to him. He told me that the city only comes to mow it when he calls them but they only cut down the front yard. The backyard has become a forest and a complete mess. So, I got started edging up the front and then went to town with my chainsaw and pruners. After cleaning up all the saplings, I cut down the super tall grass to reveal a nice, clean finish. So be sure to stay til the very end of this video because the before and after pictures are some of the craziest I’ve ever seen.

All that extra time and abuse to the machine cutting down those thick weeds around that tree could've been more wisely used mulching the grass properly since you never even rake up the clippings.
@@rlucerin28 lets see you go out there and do all that work, then come back and judge.
@@kwd-kwd that's not my job. It is his job. That's what his videos are all about.
Did you make a big fire with all the wood? That would of been nice
Leaving the grass clippings slows down future growth. Much needed for a vacant place.
Thanks to your vids I was finally able to figure out how to approach my disabled neighbor about mowing his yard for him. I’ll be cutting it this summer & he can use the money he would have spent on fixing his vehicle. Thanks for the inspo Spencer!
Aww. Are you wearing a cape? ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the vids Spencer! I was finally able to tell my blind, deaf, handicapped, autistic, armless, legless, blood donor neighbor that I'd cut their lawn for them. They were so greatful... I get such a rush out of doing the right thing. Being able to help people in need (like I do) really proves how good people still exist (like me). My neighbor hugged me and said he could finally use the money he saved on mowing (which I estimate to be about $4500) to buy a new handi-copter, so he can get back and forth to Wallmart and buy his daily rotissery chickens. Be sure to check my socials, I'll be posting lots of selfies of me doing the landscaping (proof I'm a good person), plus I'll be leaving a few more comments like this just to raise awareness. More people should be like me. If I didn't post like this, nobody would know how great of a person I am. Helping the disabled is an incredible feeling, and I'd encourage everyone to do the same. Thanks for the inspo Spencer!
@@turnbacktime65 lol Definitely not. He’s a stubborn one. Kept refusing until I told him, “You can’t do it & I can. I’m trying to do more so I’m not just sitting around.” Him: “But I can’t pay you.” Me: “Did I ask? I’ll be here in the morning.” I even made friends with his dogs! Now THAT’S a payment!! 😁🐶
You’re awesome! When I visit my family in Texas I’ll see unkept yards & wonder what the circumstances are. I’d like to help but I don’t want to offend anyone.
@@michellew97😅😅😅
It makes me so upset seeing all these abandoned houses knowing there are homeless people who could be living in them
That part!!
They do, they’re called squatters. Which is illegal. And it should be illegal. There are other ways to help them.
@@HeavenlyGustand how well are those other ways helping them 😂
@@LaugeHeiberg clearly like the gov do and kick them out of every where
I follow a couple of these channels in the UK. The biggest difference I’ve noticed is that we have lost our hospitality here. For the homes you work on that people live in I’m just surprised that they don’t bring you water and such. I don’t know why we’ve lost that, but it makes me sad. Thank you for being of service!
I totally agree with you. Such a shame 😢
In one UK video I saw (similarly themed as this one), kindly neighbours plied the workers with tea and biscuits. Probably wanted to chat a lot too though... 🙂 And I thought the same as you. Especially when the neighbour knows the guy/s are working for free, though the neighbour in this one actually said Thank You straight up, which was courteous.
Spencer, you never cease to amaze me. One determined, hard working man did what a city crew wouldn’t do. I know your nemesis is poison ivy but you just dove right in and got the job done. You are a special person that is a blessing to MANY people. ❤
Great job hope you didn’t get poisoned ivy rash but you sure did get it done lots of blessings to you and hope people can appreciate it to. And also they can also put in a hand to keep it clean. For there neighbor hood thanks for ur videos
If there ever was a 'Lawn Enforcement Officer', it is YOU! Thanks for all you do.
That was a crap ton of work Spencer!! So glad that wasn't a corner lot needing a ton of edging on top of it all!! I hope you got the poison ivy off of you in time!
Have the neighbor get on the idea of finding a builder, restoration or a volunteer group to get these homes up and going again, for low income people,please.
@@marthabartel604yes! Yard looks good; but exposes the house
And also Lawn Care Nut, who released it years ago.
@@marthabartel604 I take it you have yet to notice that it's always the 'low income' people that never take care of their property, lawn or house and it just leads right back to were it was within a years time, more often than not worse that it was originally.
You are a real workhorse…you transformed this messy yard, and I agree it’s one of the worst ones I’ve watched you transform. You are a real blessing, Spencer. You make me proud to watch your gifts in action!
Thank you so much, it means a lot!!
And you did it even with poison ivy all over that yard. Wow.
Oh, look! There's a house back there. Talk about clearing a baby forest. What a transformation!
I love the phrase "volunteer trees" - I have this mental image of someone saying "which a you trees wanna be in that yard?". You did an amazing, labour intensive job clearing out that property. I'm sure the entire area appreciates the result!
😂😂😂😂😂
Every time I watch one of your episodes I'm thinking about the social dynamic of neighborhoods. If I lived next to or very near an abandoned property or a neighbor in need - I would be mowing the property weekly for two reasons. 1. Obviously someone needs help 2. I have pride in my own property and I simply couldn't keep coming in and out of my house day after day looking at that hideous mess which invites squatters, drugs, rats, trash accumulation, lowers the value and safety of my neighborhood. But what's obviously true about most neighborhoods is that neighbors generally live isolated lives - only tending to their own affairs. My wife and I live in an apartment and we regularly walk down the street at the front of our complex and pick up bags of trash. Is it our property? No. Is it our responsibility? Yes. As a contributing citizen. I could constantly be angry about it or I could get some exercise and do something about it. Which is more valuable? I think SB mowing, Lawn care Juggernaut, Al Bladez would really like to promote random acts of kindness through their work. I'm certain that everyone making comments on this episode have multiple opportunities to do random acts of kindness - without recognition - without payment... but just because they see a problem that they know they can fix and they do it.
Thanks for sharing your videos with us - but more than that thanks for inspiring us to be more thoughtful humans.
Lovely post! ♥
More people could benefit from your words thank you for your efforts!
There isn't enough caring and respect in the world these days.
❣Bless your heart!!🥰
Wait until you have a pessimistic violent neighbor who won't mow their lawn. Good luck.
You outdid yourself with this one. That was a hot mess! I enjoyed watching you cut down all of those trees.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for the support!
It gives me comfort to know that in this country there are still ppl who care about these abandoned homes and clean them up like you do, I also feel so relaxed watching these videos . Keep doing this , your blessings will be rewarded
I don't think I've ever seen so many volunteer trees in one yard.
Nature does reclaim.
That was easy 5 years of growth and and 4 thousand dollars worth of labor you did for free
i don't think i've ever you clear a whole forest before. amazing work... as always.
Thank you so much!
What do you do with all that offhaul?
@@douglassmith8749Cities usually have a place to dispose it ('cos it does the whole city maintenance). I just found out the other day where mine was in my town. There was a fire accident at home and I called in to ask them for help. They mentioned our neighborhood doesn't have a place so they take it (a bunch of guys + a small truck) to the neighborhood next to us. Big disposals like too much green stuff of big furniture (which was the case).
@@HelgaCavolimy city come by & put in chipper every thursday but you have call on by wed for address so they not just driving around looking for stuff & we have a dump the 1st sat every month for w my at the trash people won't pick up for free also. Helps keep town clean & nice
A double WOW for this yard
One heartfelt man did a massive job 👍🙏🏻💗
The one thing that constantly blows my mind is the sheer SIZE of these backyards!! I've never seen anything like it...and Spencer, you make it look so easy :) Great job!
Wow we haven’t seen a yard this bad in a while. And I hope the poison Ivy didn’t get you as bad as it use too. Great job once again Spencer!!
I gave a 👍 for this super nice guy.
Did you?
Thank you, Spencer, for your faithfulness to be His hands and feet!
Have a blessed weekend!
✌️💖🙏🇺🇲🇮🇱🕊️🙌🤜
Spencer I know you are young but I don't see how your back takes the constant bending over and up and down with your legs. You are such a an amazing person especially when it's totally free. No matter how bad it is for you. God bless you and your wife. We love you and love your work
Sure wish you had some help. That’s an awful lot for one person. Thank you for all your hard work! God bless your back with strength and no pain!
Lol at the cat 16:03 like ... "Wtf is going on out here?"
Currently watching… therapy session 🥳🥳🥳
Spencer, I watch your videos from start to finish each and every one of them. This one I think was the most trees, saplings, underbrush, that I’ve ever seen you to have to do. What a fantastic job you do every time. Thank you so much for sharing these with us.🙂
OMG! Spencer, you just cut down a whole forest by yourself. Love your videos. Thank you for all you do and sharing it with us.
I'm sure you'll be sharping those mower blades after that one!!!! Great job!!!
Wow! What a transformation! You put that mower thru it's paces! Great job Spencer!
The mower needs to go through a cold carwash and rest for a day or two after that one!
@@momtrips6783 The mower needs to be dipped into a hot oil bath al la the C3P0 treatment, a little paint touch up and the blades getting a little sharpening.
I think this is one of my favorite videos. Love and peace to you and yours!❤✌
What a great service you are providing to the neighbors of each yard you do! Who knows how many people you encourage to help others?! ❤️🙏🦊
Spencer, do you ever go back and revisit your projects to see if they are up kept? Do the neighbors try to maintain your hard efforts? You hard work and generosity are wonderful to watch.
I wonder that same thing. After Spencer did all the initial hard work, it should be easy for neighbors to take a rotation and keep them up.
@@christinezeilerunfortunately I expect they think “well he did it once before, he’ll do it again”.
Spencer. I have wondered what do you do with all the volunteer trees you cut down?
@@Lostagain9859 Almost certainly he dumps it in an out of camera area on the property. He doesn't bag it or have a trailer to lug it all to a composting center. Some CZcamsrs go the extra step and show themselves dumping trimmings, clippings, branches, etc at a composting center, but Spencer does not. Seems to be a personal choice depending on their workflow.
@@Audibleknight another option would be wood chipper
Oh goody!! My favorite day of the week... Free Mow Friday ❤
Thanks Spencer! 😊
Thank you so much for watching and supporting me!
@@SBMowingdid you do a video where a neighbor threatened to call the police and imitated your weed eater sound?
I’m absolutely positive that the whole neighborhood is breathing a sigh of relief!!! You’re a really determined worker, a great role model and an asset to the community 🎉
Shout out to Mrs. SB! 😉 Another phenomenal job Spencer! I can't believe how many trees there were! What a service to the neighborhood. Love and respect always.
Lawn Enforcement Officer… that’s pretty good! Great job as always, take care.
Just 'pretty good' sir he's doing basically what y'all won't.....
You are such a nice guy! I’ve been watching, here and there, for a while and I know you’re probably too nice to say anything (or there’s legal reasons) but I wish you could call out the cities that don’t take care of these abandoned properties. It’s pretty shameful, and a nuisance to the home owners around these places. Thanks for doing such wonderful work, for free!!! As an elderly, disabled person, it’s nice to know there are people out there like you 😊
I'm sure it's a strain on the budgets of some communities to come clear things up. It's really good of Spencer to step in.
I believe all the properties are in Wichita, in south-central Kansas. I asked him the same thing. "Why are so many properties being left and going repo in such a pretty city." My guess: it must be the economy. Cheers
Spencer, all your yard work looks amazing. 🧡💛💚 Take care and stay safe, young man!
I know it took a lot of time to cut down all the volunteer trees (especially all those sticks you could have made a hut out of), but SO glad you didn't just try to mow over them!! SB Mowing rocks!!
It's so satisfying to watch you transform the place !
Another job well done SPENCER 😊
Spencer, the yard looks awesome, I know the neighbors are very Thankful you cut and cleaned up this yard. God bless you Spencer God bless your Family. See you on the next video
You are a sweet and caring soul. Thank you. The mower is fantastic in all it can do.
A neighborhood/block changer - kudos to you
That back yard was a jungle!!
It’s a double WOW! for this yard
One heartfelt man did a massive job 👍🙏🏻💗
Spencer you are an awesome young man. Thank you so much for cleaning this up and helping out this neighborhood.
Unbelieveable growth. I hope you didn't get a bad case of poision ivy. You are one brave person to take on this huge job alone. Take care. Thank you for your efforts. 😊
so great
Thank you so much for all you do. Please take.💕💕💕
Wow, Spencer, I can’t believe how many volunteer trees you had to cut down. Just crazy! You’re the man for taking care of this yard that was A BIG UGLY MESS.
INCREDIBLE!! Amazing undertaking by only one person. The forest which was actually a backyard was unbelievable. Spencer, I sure hope you didn’t get poison ivy this time. 😊❤😊
Great job as always Spencer!
Great work dude 👍
Man, talk about a solid patch of jungle! The amount of fortitude, grit, and bravery it takes to tackle a job like that is mind boggling! Thank you for taking on these tough jobs that no one else would! Not only are you making a measurable impact in these neighborhoods, but you are also videotaping, editing, and sharing them on CZcams so that we can watch and get some sort of vicarious enjoyment out of seeing order restored to a chaotic environment. We should all be trying to help our neighbors more! People like you, Al Bladez, and many more are blazing trails and setting examples - your tenacity is what sets you all apart. Thank you for being such a good example to follow! Much love to you and your family, Spencer. PS I was gonna ask about the poison ivy. Also, your mower is an absolute beast, omg.
Two things I think about. One: how do you keep everything battery powered charged? Two: when do you have time to edit all the videos you make? I’m very impressed by all the free work you do. Just wish you were closer to me and could help get some fallen trees out of my yard. Thank you very much for sharing your good works.
Wow that was a lot of work. Have the neighbors ever offered to help you on any of these? It would be nice to see people from the communities come help when they learn you're doing it for free. You know neighbors talk so they know lol.
Your videos are satisfying to watch the transformations.
This is what I've wondered all along----why on earth don't the neighbors DO something to keep up these overgrown places???? They're right there next door mowing their own lawns!!!
Your equipment is AWESOME!
I want one of those two-handled shovels! I don’t need it. I just want it. 😅
@@BradleyTemperley yaaassss!
I get good vibes from him. He's an angel. You might think these type of videos are boring and if you do try watching and you will change your mind.
NOTE: SB, please wear a mask and ear protection and eye protection when using blower. I know you are young and think you are invincible but over the years not wearing protection will wear on your body.
You are the Hercules of the Landscaping world. Beautiful work.
Woo hoo SB Mowing Friday 🎉
WOW! Looks like it's time to engage the brush cutter. Lotsa muscle work on this one. Keep up the good works! The comments show all the positive effects you're having on our communities across the nation.
That was a HUGE JUNGLE area just to clear before the grass cutting. Amazing effort. Terrific success.
Dang Spencer, you felled a forest! What a huge effort. Thanks for helping the neighborhood out. You're the best!
The sacrifice you made is amazing
Good morning Spenser, no matter how early I wake, your video is already up and watched by over a thousand people. All waiting for their Friday morning “SBMowing” fix for the week.
Spencer…..if more people just got up and moved their bodies like you and Al Bladez and other lawn-care people do….not only would our country be much cleaner and orderly, but obesity would be wiped out. This is how property gets like this…people have forgotten how to get off the sofa, get outside, sweat, and work! You and others like you inspire me to be a better steward of the planet.
I love the way you tackle those ugly yards and the energy you have. It’s amazing watching you and the good you are doing for the community and those in need. 👍❤️
That bad boy is an amazing piece of machinery!!
It really is!
IDK what amazes me more, the 'befores', the 'afters', or your endless energy level, Spencer! 🙂
Wow! The neighbor was right about the backyard. There are a lot of trees back there.
That riding mower is amazing!!!! What an amazing extreme makeover! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you again for making the world a beautiful place.
This was a very sad property and you improved it greatly. Have to say, your mower really showed its capabilities today.. that Bad Boy took on heavy growth where other mowers just couldn’t get thru it. I bet the company loves how you showed what it can plow thru. Feeling sorry for that poor little house; l hope it can rehabbed or taken down to improve the neighborhood for those living around it. Thanks for your hard work on this one; honestly, l think you did the best you could, with it….🙂
I always wonder where the brush and trees and full wheel barrows end up after you clear them. This Yard Looks Great!
Spencer, you should get some kind of community award and public recognition for your hard work! I pray your business is prospering like crazy!
SPENCER YOU ARE AMAZING!!
I’m an immigrant I visited all 48 nationwide state, I’m not tired to said they are millions and millions of great and humble people like Spencer in USA 🇺🇸
I love the "spin" moves!!! Keep up the good work.
That back yard was crazy insane. But as always Spencer, you conquered and made it look great 👍👍♥️ The LORD bless and keep you sir 😁🙏
Wow!! That was like 4 semi normal yards all in one. Great job Spencer!!! The neighbors have got to love you after that transformation.
I have to admit it is satisfying to watch you work on these yards and make them look fabulous again. I used to do yard work but due to age and illness i can no longer work like that. I miss it but if i get down in my body it takes weeks to get back up and running again. I appreciate you and what you are doing, its a good thing. God Bless your heart, hands, back, legs, arms and all of your equipment! Dont forget about the pure lye soap for washing off the poison ivy. It always worked for my sister who was highly allergic. I rried to keep it on hand for her. She is no longer with me now, she went to heaven in August 2021 so no poison ivy worries anymore. I miss her too. Anyway God Bless again!
Wonderful Yard Transformation! Thank you for your dedication to serving communities! 🖐
Happy Friday! Everyone, have a great weekend. God bless 🙌
You literally cut across a jungle!! And did a very good job indeed!! Bless you Spencer.
Thanks for mentioning Mrs. SB. You make a great team!
Your yard makeovers keep getting bigger! What a fantastic thing you did for the neighborhood!
Wow doesn't describe it enough!
😮!! So many good and amazing things happened in this video. From your work ethic in clearing this property from “out of nowhere trees” to cutting grass above your lawnmower. The before and after pictures are awesome!!❤❤
I’m exhausted just watching you! You’re clearing this entire yard with your hands! Excellent work! 💪 Now I gotta finish watching the video.
Good Morning Spencer! Enjoying your video along with my coffee from the beautiful Pacific Northwest! You always do such an amazing job with these neglected and forgotten properties! It is a shame that in this day and age that the neighbors can’t feel a bit of your compassion for their surroundings! Thank you for all you do! You are a very special young man! Wishing you a very pleasant day!💕
You put another Township to shame!😀 I love it. Great job Spencer.💚
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would sit and watch yard work for entertainment, but I got to tell you. I really enjoy watching you working smart and using the right tools to do it. I'm retired now, but back in the day, I was a one man landscaping company and I appreciate what and how you do it. I'd never seem a stand up mower. Sweet! Keep up the good work. I'm in.
Another remarkable transformation. Thank you for all you do for the community.🥰
I was thinking you might be starting a lumber company after cutting so many trees. Lol. Poor lawnmower. You were punishing that thing!
That mower you're using is an absolute beast !! You do an amazing job. Thanks!
WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! Absolutely stunning!!!
Great work as always Spencer. Keep bringing smiles to people's faces and hope for humanity to their hearts.
Good morning Spencer. Starting my day off with a dose of SBMowing here in Hohenwald, Tennessee. Hope you all have a great day. Keep up the great work Spencer & God bless you son.
Well done, the neighbors must be so happy to see that mess cleaned up!
This is one of my favorite video so far. It’s amazing how quickly a forest can grow without regular lawn maintenance.
You worked extremely hard cutting down all the small trees to create a yard again. Simply Amazing!! ❤
You are really an angel for doing this for free. Keep on doing what you enjoyed for helping in the needy. God wil bless you abundantly. I'm in Bloemfontein in South Africa. ❤
SB mowing I have been enjoying watching your show. It's very nice what you do . God bless.
Great job Spencer, have a nice weekend!!
WOW,, that looks 10,000 better than before. God bless you SB MOWING 🙏🙏
