3 Autistic Men’s Lawn Was Out Of Control

Go to earthbreeze.com/mowitwells to get started with 40% off Earth Breeze Eco Sheets!
A local mailman reached out to me about an overgrown lawn on his route, and I knew I had to help. He gave me the address, but when I turned onto the street, I didn't even need it. The massive weeds in the front yard were impossible to miss.
I knocked on the door, and a warm, friendly lady answered. She explained that three autistic men lived there and that she worked for a service that visited daily to assist them with household chores and ensure they were okay. However, mowing the lawn wasn't one of those chores.
This video is a perfect example of why I do what I do. Helping these three gentlemen by getting their yard back in shape so they could manage it for the rest of the season was incredibly rewarding. I hope you feel the same joy watching this video as I did making it. If you haven't already, please hit that subscribe button. And always remember, Be The Change.

Thanks Alex, I've been looking for these for a while, they're in the UK too. Just ordered some.

[@8Zk3]

As a parent of an autistic child, I want to say thank you for helping these guys out. My biggest fear is knowing that someday, my child will have to survive without me there to care for him. I truly hope that there are amazing people like you to help him out after I'm gone. Again, thank you for helping these guys out.

[@user-wn8mg2jh1d]

Shout out to the Mailman that was looking out for someone on their rout And a Major Thank You to you for helping these people out

[@kelleymosqueda9535]

I have a son, 28, who is on the severe end of the spectrum which affects him cognitively (understanding and thought process) as well. He also has severe ADHD. He needs 24 hour assistance and monitoring. For all the naysayers: I only say this because not all with autism are the same. Some “higher functioning” individuals may be able to live on their own but still need help with day to day life and activities just like landscaping. Although these 3 men may be strong enough to do it doesn’t mean they know how to do it. I’m soo glad someone reached out to you for help. One less stressful item they have to worry about in their already challenging journey through this life that they now have to navigate without their mother 😇

[@R-Texas]

@kelleymosqueda95 Very good comment and much informative information for those who are not familiar with the different degrees of autism.

[@jenniferlashley2081]

Great job! Kudos to the mail carrier! As you shaped the shrubs, etched the edges, lopped the tree limbs and lawn, I picture my son, who is autistic, living in that house, and had tears in my eyes because of the care you showed in your work. ❤

[@Millicent-tf5pd]

The world needs more people who are willing to help others without expecting a payday. God Bless you.

[@grannypeggy8987]

You have a Heart of Gold. Thanks for Helping Out. Thanks to the Mailman for letting you know about the yard. God Bless You all

[@59BigWalt]

Good job Alex, what model is that Echo chainsaw?

[@amypreuit4114]

I don’t believe these 3 could have cleaned up the yard on their own. Thank goodness someone led you to them and now the yard looks fantastic and hopefully, manageable for them. It’s a wonderful gift! 🎉🎉🎉

[@ericandmax]

Sorry to criticise but if these three men need help with showering etc, I really don't see them coping with this big garden.

[@melvinglick9446]

What a burden for that family. So glad you were able to help.

[@pennyneal2456]

What a privilege to be handed to you by the mailman…to be able to bring this beautiful property back to life. Thanks Alex. Well done.

[@vickypyron543]

Such a beautiful backyard for the autistic brothers to enjoy. Their mother probably didn't want to leave them, but they have wonderful caregivers to see to their every needs. You should be very satisfied for your great lawn service. Well done sir.

[@marilynlewison9649]

This is the type of job that needs to be done on a monthly basis, based on the circumstances of the current men who live there - great job!

[@debbiebertram]

You have made their mother proud. I’m sure you brought back memories to these guys of their mother and how she took care of things. I’m sure she’s still looking after them. Thanks Alex for making a change.

[@loisjones2557]

Thank you ❤ As a grandmother/guardian of a autistic deaf young adult male I can see how this gets out of control! Some days it is hard for me to get out and mow! I tried to teach him but the vibration of the mower just doesn’t cut it with him! He can’t do it! Again thank you ❣️

[@user-jj4wq2kr2c]

Please continue to help these young men. They deserve your help. They have no ideal how to do yarn care. You are a blessing to them. Thank you for your help.

[@michelleabsolum2411]

You've shown those men what kindness and caring is and that's nice

[@valeriacamposdasilveira2735]

This was a loved garden… one can see by the details of it… thank you for the help given in recovering it for these 3 man in need!🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@ejeanroh377]

Thank God for mailmen and mailladies... They see alot of need... I've had and have wonderful mail men/ladies... I will miss them when we NO longer have mail delivered...

[@brandonkerr7853]

HUGE thanx to you in doing this! Also big props to all those complementing the Mail Carrier for his interest in helping his customer out! I was a rural one for 30+ years and it NEVER gets tiring of the appreciation by folks like y’all here!

[@kkeenan536]

I share a common area with my neighbor, (like that triangle piece on the front/side of their place) & when I moved in my neighbor, like their neighbor, only mowed their “half”. When I mowed, I did the whole thing, (I’m 70 with a battery push mower). Eventually he reciprocated and now we take turns 😊 Great job, that yard is huge 👍💚👏

[@rosemarygrant647]

Thanks for helping them out and for the mail carrier that notices that they needed help

[@MckIdyll]

I like the mailman outreach -- such a good connection. Postal carriers know all about a neighborhood -- they see it and touch it every day. Looking forward to this episode.

[@sheraven1]

What an absolute blessing you are. Thanks for being the change.

[@felinefaye8550]

Oh look the neighbor has a riding lawn mower!!!!! Thanks for your help buddy!

[@indianaslim4971]

That was a company doing a scheduled job for a customer, did you miss seeing him leave with his white truck towing a trailer with his equipment on it?

[@abeautifulworld3781]

Got it!!

[@ruddy5293]

I am so glad that you were able to help them out with their yard. You really did a beautiful job. Thank you!

[@nancyadams2309]

Their Mother is smiling from above for the care and kindness you gave her fellas. Bless you. The overhead filming was terrific. It really gave a great view of the property. It really was a beautiful property built with love.

[@victoriapayton3447]

The mother had provisions for her children, 👍❤️. O boy a hidden patio

[@karentaylor7137]

You did amazing job for that group of young men

What a kind soul to help this family with their yard.🥰

[@user-hc2lh8yv7j]

Thanks for helping this family. They needed you.

[@bettymynatt7339]

Another awesome transformation. Thanks for helping them out and thanks to the mailman for asking you to help. You are a Blessing to these people. God Bless you ❤❤❤❤❤

[@williegrant3054]

Good Morning Alex See this IS what I ❤ the MAILMAN saw the need reached out to you and you answered the Call. This IS A GREAT EXAMPLE of treating your Neighbor as thyself. Thank You for showing the ❤ of Jesus Christ🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Blessings

[@MowItWells]

This is definitely one of my favorite story lines. It was awesome how it all came together. Thanks for watching!

[@waynejohnson1295]

Alex this is the reason I love watching your channel because you have the biggest ❤️ in the lawn care business. Keep up the great work that you do for the people in every community that you service.

[@joanmyers5148]

Thank you for helping these men, you are a blessing, and do wonderful work 👏👏👏👏🌟 👍

[@Janneli2024]

Beautiful and Thankyou to all that helped you to mailman caring woman and mowitwells

[@williampollard1589]

All this property needs now is Powerwash the driveway and sidewalks. ‼️👍🏾👍🏾to Alex for what you did ❣️🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@avis4433]

I thought the same re: power washing!! 💚

[@lindamichael7903]

Awesome job looks incredible job👍WELLS done

[@MowItWells]

Thank you very much!

[@ChristineWaites-qn9mh]

Love your motto and your great work.

[@natalieedwards_0415]

Absolutely AMAZING TRANSFORMATION ‼️. Be Blessed and stay safe 🙏🏽❤️

[@marywagaman7570]

Thank you for helping them out now they have a place to sit outside 😘❤️😊👍😊

[@carolgadles7045]

Great job, looks amazing !!!

[@KayDreesman]

Bless your heart for helping these guys out. It looks so good and I’m sure they appreciated it too. Well done, keep up the really good work.

[@PeggySue-RL]

I’m very blessed that my autistic son is independent. He bought a condo so he didn’t have to worry with yard. He didn’t like doing it as a kid helping dad. Thank you you are an angel. They don’t understand the impact of everything. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@jeannieelliott8519]

I love the aerial views. Thank u. Your Oregon Viewer 😅

[@MowItWells]

Glad you like them!

[@marlenesmith6002]

loved the drone shots

[@miriamrighter1666]

I am a mom of an autistic adult son, now in his 40s. He is not able to keep up with his apartment, much less a lawn. Thank you for looking out for these guys. It is heartbreaking how most people don't care to help anyone, and always a relief when someone does care.

[@felixlujan4809]

Fantastic job as usual buddy. More blessings to you and your family for helping people who need help. Awesome transformation!!👋

[@joesony5196]

Very nice transformation; i like it .God bless you .

[@MowItWells]

Thank you so much 😊

[@juliekeenon]

I helped two of my needy neighbors out and it became a can you, will you, i need 50 bucks nightmare. I like to help people but. Now i just stay in my own yard and mind my own business.

[@brucesimpson8579]

I understand completely what you're talking about. Unfortunately there are people out there who love to take advantage of others, but fortunately I think they are the exception and most people genuinely appreciate the kindness.

[@shirleybaker-jones9191]

Mom is looking down on you Wells and tears flowing from her eyes to the beautiful yard you made for her 3 boys.

[@ruthknutson4731]

I dont know why these men weren't signed up for a once a mouth lawn service...there is no way they could be expected to know how to keep up this yard..thank goodness they do have help in the house... I feel that a really big thank you goes out to the mailman and even bigger thank you to the lawnman...

[@alicegilder-camarena3766]

I’m a mom of 2 autistic boys and….THANK YOU! I worry so much, this gives me hope

[@anitarodriguez9955]

Trimming all the tree made it look so nice!

[@lisaanglim9588]

Another job done perfectly, enriching the lives of the young men who live there. Maybe now they can keep up with it

[@lauracuellar293]

Loud noises from power tools would be difficult on the autism spectrum, which is probably the reason it got to that state. I doubt they can maintain it, but hope I’m wrong.

[@lisawilkerson8085]

I'm sure their mother is smiling down on you!! Your a good man!!

[@Diana-ij4wd]

Thank for all your help and support God bless. 🥰🇬🇧

[@sheilajacob7463]

God bless you 🙏

[@ejeanroh377]

And God bless those three men...

[@R-Texas]

Alex, you are a special man! I know you meant it when you said this transformation is why you do what you do. I felt good about this makeover, so I can’t imagine how good you felt! I got a bit emotional on this video, could be because I have autism family members, but seeing the back yard, how the mother placed the bushes to have patio privacy touched my heart. People don’t always understand the over expressions of autism; I knew she thought of her boys planting them. You did an awesome job! It looked so very nice when you finished. I liked your drone shots. The mailman that told you they needed help was good to do so. This is what good people do. They don’t look the other way. God’s blessings to you both.

[@bobzboo]

It was wonderful to have you back and see you in action. That was such a wonderful thing to do! Bless you! You brought it back to it’s original glory. Sure is a lot of grass. AA ~🤗Becka

[@sylviawoods6486]

I am 72 and have an autistic daughter. You try to plan for when you pass, but things will always fall through the cracks. You can still see the love that their mother put into that property. The Buckthorn bushes, the sweet daisies. Thank you for helping them❤❤. I love the drone footage, it really added to the story. ❤❤❤

[@jameslavery6216]

God bless you. You're awesome.

[@MowItWells]

You too!

[@magalahitumon4436]

Love the drone view!♡ You certainly brought out the BEAUTY of the yard and house. You're a true God sent helping folks out that need help. 💙🫂🩵🙏🏼🩵🫂💙 AWESOME and AMAZING yard transformation work as ALWAYS Alex🙌🏼🤗🫶🏼

[@anitawilson6666]

Excellent job, Alex. The place looks totally different now. Thank you for all you do too help people in need. You truly are The Change in so many lives. ❤

[@leecarey4375]

These wonderful men must have a trustee and it is one of the trustees job to make sure all their needs are covered. I know because I am a trustee for 2 sisters that are the same as them. They would also have a social worker that should be contacted. You did a awesome job.....thank you!

[@robertshrewsbury5067]

I would think the mom is indeed smiling, to see you came to help her sons. The home is attractive with the detailing you are doing. Appreciate you are catching "everything", including the safety access area in the back. Always like to see vines come off a house, so they won't destroy the siding, roof. Alex, you did a good job recreating comfort, space, usability, views. 36:18 is a lovely angle of how you gave back space and a view as you worked.

[@kimnavrotsky5278]

AWESOME JOB Alex !!! As always your attention to detail continues and makes all the difference in this makeover. I am sure these brothers will notice it in their own way. Thanks to the kind mailman for thinking of contacting you to help them out Alex. Thank you for taking on the jobs you do because mowing and trimming make an instant positive impact on the way the property looks. What you do helps people Alex.

[@angelpie9530]

Thanks Alex, what an improvement. Mow it Wells strikes again!

[@ritaspear1258]

How sad they lost there mother who took care of them. Do glad that nice lady helps them out with things they aren't able to do. God bless you Alex as well as the mailman who let you know about the yard.❤

[@williampollard1589]

Great job Alex, you really do an awesome job,you trim,cut and everything ‼️I love it when you trim the trees so you can see ❣️God Bless You Alex 🙏🏾💯

[@mooshimaqueenbee3291]

Great transformation! Now they need someone to pressure wash their driveway and sidewalks for free. That would really make it pop! ❤

[@user-lk2gy8ub4q]

You have a good Soul Alex, and you are a Good Man.

[@jobtry]

GOD BLESS YOU for helping those 3 men. xx

[@jdavis4034]

❤❤❤👍👍👍 Wow what a transformation, esp. the backyard! Once again you did it soooo right! I thank you for allowing me and many others to follow you on your adventures and let us see and feel the blessings you bestow on so many. I do thank you!

[@pjp2455]

I love watching from overhead! This was a really great transformation !🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@barbaramarshall3361]

Awesome job Alex. Now we need someone to volunteer to go pressure wash their driveway and walkways for them. I just know there is another kind hearted soul that would do that for them from the Chattanooga area. Love to continue to see you helping our community.

[@janababuljakova2534]

To byla nádherná ukázka toho jak může být práce smysluplná!!! Děkuji za tebe Bohu, protože takových hodných lidí na světě ubývá a je to velká škoda. Přeji ti šťastný život plný lásky! 👍👍🌿Jana 🌿👋🌹

[@gayjacobsen5012]

You did such a great job clearing and pruning those trees. Letting light into the back garden. The front looks so nice now. There were nide plants in that garden. Someone cared about that garden before. Probably mom. Thanks for making it lovely again. ❤🇿🇦

[@DC-zg6kl]

First of all I want to say thank you for all the hard work you bless ours with by doing such an awesome generosity of showing love to those in need of a little sunshine in their lives. Please keep up the greatness. I would have cut/pulled those volunteer pines up by the front of home as they will grow to be destructive to foundation and structure of home. Bless those men and may the have only positive people in their lives to assist them.

[@sharonplotz4549]

God blessed you with a caring heart and compassion for others…. We need more people like this…. Sharon from Wisconsin….❤

Thank you Alex for the blessings you give to others. I truly hope this will inspire others to be the change you speak of. I also hope that the guardians/caretakers will be able to have someone continue with the proper maintenance of their yard so they can enjoy the outside.
