Crazy Garden Restoration | Old Timers Vegetable Patch

On this episode, we clean up an old timers vegetable garden, fruit trees & paths around the garden. Since the old boy passed away, his garden beds have become neglected and very overgrown. His widow is one of our regular customers, and we were happy to help her clean it all up. Everything removed was at the request of the owner, the job took us around 6 hours to complete, and we took out around 1.5 trailers worth of green waste and rubbish. Worker in this episode: Nick.
Workers on this job: George (long pants) & Nick (shorts).

FAQ's:
Q: Where are you located?
A: I am from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 🦘.
Q: Do you worry about snakes?
A: I have never even seen a snake in over 5 years on the job.
Q: Which equipment do you use?
A: Mostly STIHL power equipment (battery and petrol) and commercial Honda self-propelled mowers.
Q: How much do the jobs cost?
A: Sorry, I prefer not to talk about costs.
Q: Why don't you use tarps instead of bins?
A: Tarps are too difficult to move through small spaces and lift into the trailer. The same for wheelbarrows, they are only good for unloading the trailer!
Q: Why are the hot water cylinders outside?
A: I would say it's because Australia had a temperate to tropical climate, and therefore it doesn't matter that much if they are outdoors. To me, though, it seems a bit inefficient to have them outside in Tasmania with a temperate climate (coldish for 3 - 4 months per year). But that is industry standard down here 🤷‍♂️
Q: Why don't you have help?
A: I've had many problems with employees in the past, so now I work alone.
Q: Why don't you have a ride-on mower?
A: Well, there are a few reasons.
1. I don't have the right trailer for a ride on, considering I always take away the green waste.
2. I don't have anywhere to store it, as my shed is too small.
3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can't actually get a ride-on on to the properties.
4. I don't do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k AUD on a stander, but it would be nice to have one!
5. I will get one as soon as my transport and storage problems are solved.
Q: What types of ladders do you use?
A: The large one is a Gorilla Adjustable Platform 150kg and the small one is a Gorilla Mighty 19. They are both adjustable.
Q: Who/what is Jim's Mowing?
A: Jim's Mowing is a franchise business. The Jim's Group is the biggest home services franchise in Australia.
Q: Why do you have 2 channels that seem to be the same?
A: Quick Cuts (my original channel) has music in the background. Quick Cuts V2 is for those that like just machine noise, and it doesn't have music.

I'm so happy that you left the roses! It all looks great!

Love these transformations! Bit sad to see the grape vine go but the garden looks heaps nice now. Let's hope they plant some veggies now that they can get some sun! Top job guys.

Cheers. I was going to leave the grape initially, but the customer came out and specifically asked us to remove it!

Talk about a huge change. You both work so well together.

I would love to have fruit trees growing in my garden like that! Unfortunately it’s too hot where I live 😢 I always feel sad when I see a garden that was obviously once loved become neglected due to the owners becoming too frail or dying. Great job cleaning it up guys!

[@patricialozano9897]

Quite an endearing and sentimental video. I know you go in to do clean up however you could see that someone had work hard in the past to have a lovely garden. I so enjoyed watching the "secrets" of the past emerge.

[@martinchristian7270]

You guys went through that yard like a cleaning tornado. Well done.

[@heymomma]

Great job, glad you were able to leave that beautiful espalier and the rose bush for his widow, when you cut back the neighbors tree 😳 what a wonderful garden space he enjoyed!

[@SM-vz9ez]

There's no doubt that the owner got a beautiful cleaning!!👏 I felt sorry for the cutting of the rose bush and the fruit trees, but anyway... Everything grows again if you're lucky and careful!🌺🌱 Não resta dúvida que a proprietária ganhou uma linda limpeza!!👏 Fiquei com pena da lapidação da roseira e das frutíferas, mas enfim... Tudo cresce novamente se tiver sorte e cuidado!🌺🌱

This was the ice cream on my apple pie. I loved seeing absolutely overgrown and you attack them. I am saving this video.

Thanks for taking your time with the roses 🌹

[@NJDeLay]

The grape vine had grapes. I was surprised they were cut down and not pruned. It takes years to grow them on a trellis like that. It was quite a lot of work to do.

[@heatherboardman7004]

I agree, he just slashed the mature vine and apple trees. I would be furious.

[@QuickCuts]

Yep, I knew that grape vine was going to cause kick back from you guys. I tried my best to talk her into leaving it. It was trimmed initially, but she came out and specifically asked for it to be removed!
