Decades of Growth - Never ending path, patio and driveway reveals!!! | The first 4 visits.

Hello everyone,
Welcome to the first super cut video of this series. I have managed to edit 4 videos into one for your enjoyment.
This was a lot of fun for me as it took me back to how bad this garden actually was and the amount of work that has gone into it so far.
I have cut out a few bits and pieces here and there as I figure there isn't the need for you to see me remove every single piece of debris.
I apologise for the sometimes-poor quality of the video; this was recorded with an old phone of mine that had a tiny crack in the lens which caused it to blur on the sides of the footage.
Originally this job was a paid job through my local council. The paid work carried through to the 4th video of this series which is to the end of this video. All work afterwards has been done free of charge thanks to revenue made through KZbin advertising and the Buy Me A Coffee app.
buymeacoffee.c...
I hope you enjoy this edit of this series. Put the kettle on, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and put your feet up :)
Have a great day/night, see you again soon.

I would love to see what this yard looked like when it was first "done". The pavers, planting beds, fencing,etc. I bet it was an absolute stunner! I wonder if the owners have any photos of when it was at its peak. So much work had to have gone in to "building " it. Wonderful job trying to bring back its glory!!

[@annettevertalino9273]

how can they let all those sidewalks go utouched for 40 years? Most people would kill for that much hardscape. I would.

[@berniemasterson6797]

EPIC, !!!!!!!!! Well done all, loved every minute but my fav part is the reveal of multiple paved areas. It must have been back breaking for you but sooooooooo worthwhile. Glad to hear your coming back, so roll on the continued saga. Stay well guys, 💚🐝

[@Paul-hm3bo]

One word describes this compilation Ryan....Monumental. 👍👍👍. Kudos to Josh and the arborist for lending a hand.👍

[@fayeashcroft7066]

Fantastic clean up of the backyard and driveway Well done 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Love how you chip away at the overgrown grass and weeds Glad the brick 🧱 bbq 🍗 is finally being revealed!!!! Pity the car in driveway can’t be fixed 🚗 Great 👍 seeing all the paving in the backyard Cheers 🍻 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@lynnew5619]

I had forgotten just how bad it was in the beginning and the huge amount you & Josh put in just to get it to this stage. Amazing effort. 👏❤

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Thank you.

[@Themnotme23]

I have never seen nothing like it, how this stuff comes of in huge sheets and enormous clumps. Woe, when you were doing that one part, the entire section was moving. Then you partner came and rolled it like carpet. Just wow😊😮

[@larryfeeks6620]

Holy cow! So much shoveling! Excellent results, however.

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Thank you.

[@ednabrett7860]

.

[@debbies5030]

Where is this guys gloves?

[@olgadodge4904]

This mess is so overwhelming that I would be tempted to rent a backhoe.😢 You sure are an extremely hard worker. God bless you. 😊😊

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Thank you 🙂

[@shirleyparr5743]

Thanks for this compilation of the beginning. I have found it all interesting, especially the pavers that never end. I also enjoyed seeing those large leaved plants come down to reveal more of the yard. “Ryan and Josh’s great 3 day adventure”.

[@russellmorgan5611]

If that paving's been down for forty years i salute the guy who laid it.

[@blen740]

Really excellent work! Would loved to have seen you wearing some gardening gloves. Would help protect you from germs, insect bites, poison ivy, etc. GOD bless you for helping this family. I know it was greatly appreciated 👍.

[@rosekathrein1119]

Oh, my, word! What a disaster but you will make it right again. Glad you have help.

[@johnlaforte700]

Ryan why no gloves or leg protectors? Love your work and and dedication. 👍👍😊❤️

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Gloves were definitely overdue, I do wear them now. As far as the leg covers go, I generally don't find the need for them

[@johnlaforte700]

Josh could be your brother, some similarities. I commend you both on your work ethic.😆👍😎

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Maybe we have spent too much time together 🤣. Have known Josh for 22 years.

[@cynthiamcgough8496]

I just want to say that I enjoy several of these landscaping channel's; but there are only a handful of them than inform us watchers what locale you're in. It's nice to know & place certain fauna with those geographic locations.

[@lenac7671]

Thanks for your hard work! I'd love to see the before and after at the end of the video (the before from the very beginning!) - It's easy to see the progress in one video, but not from what you've done from the very beginning when you first arrived.

[@patkcalifornia8301]

Well ... all I can say, Ryan, is "WELL DONE" on this compilation. And that's coming from someone who has watched the whole series through 3x already! Can you tell that this is my absolute favorite series?? ☺ I noticed that you cut about 1/2 hour of "fat" out of the original 2 hours ... but you did it so well that I'm darned if I miss a thing of importance. Recently, another videographer took one of his 3-part series and combined them. But he did it by speeding the whole thing up to the point where all detail was lost. Then when I went back to look at his originals, he'd deleted them!!! So thank you, thank you, Ryan, for the wonderfully sane editing job that you did here. I can breathe a sigh of relief that your original series is in good hands!

[@ruadhscottygirl2480]

I concur!

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! Definitely keeping the older videos for you to watch too.

[@debraholman1811]

I didn't think the patio/slabs would ever end!! That was an enormous amount of work!! Excellent job!!

[@anadaneen70]

Next time you encounter ground cover like that, cut it into strips with an edger and roll it up like strips of carpet.

[@nancylangley338]

Never ending paths and patios needs to be your trademark. I have never seen such overgrown patios, pathways and this driveway. Can't wait to see future videos on 5nis property. I liked the way you use to do the videos because we would see them more often and I liked the "fat" in the videos.

[@nancylangley338]

By the way do you have any pictures of the before and after on the front yard. I know you said you didn't video tape it.

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Definitely will still be making the shorter videos for each visit as well. No unfortunately no original footage of the front yard sorry.

[@Dean734]

Good to see you have some help Good job and thanks for sharing 1👍🙏

[@barbaracieslak1203]

Witam...praca wykonana niestarannie, niedokładnie ....pod kwiatami pozostałości starych liści i ziemi ....pozdrawiam

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

If you listen to the intro the job here isn't finished. I have a playlist of this job with 13 parts to it.

[@barbaracieslak1203]

​@@earthtrimgardens2249..😊..Ok.. Pozdrawiam serdecznie!

[@elsalearing5566]

Wow wow wow... What a difference. Great job. You are so kind. Gby. You are a blessing.❤👍👍

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Thank you 😊

[@jackiehine1279]

I think I would have cut the agapanthus down in the driveway. Do you ever landscape yards ie: when you have transformed the yard the client asks you to pretty it up with some new plants?

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

I'm actually considering removing them to be honest. I do sometimes, but generally my work is more maintenance of existing gardens.

[@jackiehine1279]

Great job, but sometimes I shake my head when I see the condition of some of the gardens. I’m glad it’s you and not me! 😂😂😂

[@frankhall4]

How long was this backyard not touched….there is so much overgrowth ….it must have been years…you keep uncovering more walkways…amazing…great job and video…thanks

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Thank you. I am led to believe around 30 years!

[@patkcalifornia8301]

Oh, BTW ... watching this, I was reminded once again about the car in the driveway that wasn't drivable, and thus never moved from that spot. By Episode 7 it was still there. Did it ever get moved out of your way??? 😆

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Nope....it's still there! 🤦

[@danajhasalvegas5819]

These trees that drop leaves, what are they...i see the same leaf structure in many of your videos....these bunchrs of plants that produce those globe flowers on stalks...i see those in most yards you tackle.... obviously your tip runs go to agriculteral section of dump, does the facility make compost? I'm amazed by these vine plants...lantana? These really are extreme clean ups to tacke. Thank you Josh for helping

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

The trees that drop leaves are our native gum trees. The ones with the long oval shaped fruits are monsteria and can be absolutely beautiful if well looked after. The ground creeper? No it's not lantana, it's called (a little inappropriately) wandering jew. Yes all this goes to the tip and they generally make mulch out of it.

[@lauracatesduncan7498]

I've been trying to keep up with the videos on this particular job site. Now that I think about it, I'd almost rather watch the compilation videos! I've been watching several channels with yard rehab videos for a few years now. I'm finding over the last few months that I've lost my desire to watch every swath of lawn mowers, weedeaters being run over entire yards, etc. My patience runs short. While it may not be as good for your channel financially, I enjoy having the condensed versions. Thank you!

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

I'm glad you enjoy these 🙂

[@olgadodge4904]

I wonder if you’re allowed to burn leaves & or branches where you live??😮

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Yes I believe so, just not on total fire bad days. As it's in a backyard and not a farm or paddock it would babe to be small though.

[@olgadodge4904]

Thanks very much for taking the time to reply. You are a true gentleman. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@amandavollick9872]

So much work for you but a fantastic and beautiful transformation. However all the amazing and hard work you’ve done to transform this property. Why around 55 minutes in the video are you shovelling some of the dirt and debris back in with the trees??? I understand it’s more work for you guys and more that you have to haul away but you are already shovelling it why not put it in the wheelbarrow and haul it away instead of it being put back in the trees and making it look messy after all the wonderful and hard work to clean it up????

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

I wish I had an answer for you here but this was done some time ago sorry.

[@lindalamay4267]

You guys were amazing! I will never understand why people would want to stay in a place and let things get so bad. I'd much rather move to a place where I no longer have to deal with that kind of stuff. Plus, it isn't fair to your neighbors. But besides that, you two really did do and good job !

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Thank you.

[@bryan17293]

Will be beautiful when finished. Now you can see the light of day. ) Great exhausting work you've done.

[@RadCenter]

My face when you unearthed a barbecue from under all that monstera: 😮 It's so strange to see monstera in the landscape like that! Where I live, it can only be grown as a houseplant.

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

I normally only see this plant when it is well looked after, I have NEVER seen it this wild.

[@arlenelamont5610]

Your arborist friend loves a chain saw and he’s brutal with it. But it had to be done. That philodendron had taken over. I hope he salvaged some of the new growth and made new plants. Those things are expensive in nurseries. Looking great so far.

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

He is very handy with a chain saw, can climb a tree too!

[@soniafrii]

Esse lugar deu trabalho , ficou bonito !!! Parabéns 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 🇧🇷

[@denisewiggins5172]

Amazing transformation

[@eunicequalls6892]

Wow! Excellent work. 😅

[@carolynwardle6913]

So far, this has been my favorite, trying to guess what was buried, how it was laid out. Thank you for this compilation !!

[@trinawagner2471]

This is definitely a low maintenance yard. You only have to do it every 40 years.😂

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

🤣

[@Malamutemom]

I'm sure the the green waste refuses is having a hard time believing that all of this waste is coming from one yard/garden 😂

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Haha absolutely!

[@ЛюдмилаКіченко]

Мої вітання Райан👋🇺🇦 Тяжкий день у вас був,але ви справилися з цим безладом💪 Чудова робота👍

[@olgadodge4904]

Guess what?? One of your green bags has a big hole at the bottom. 😅 nice work. 😊

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

I'm glad you said at the bottom, would have said "of course there's a hole in it...wouldn't be a bag otherwise" 🤣

[@IRIR-oy3jo]

Gracias por este épico video!!. Veo que no usan ninguna protección, guantes ,gafas, manga larga….y en este lugar deben habitar cualquier clase de bichos. Cuídense!! Saludos

[@barbaragholston8929]

That was very hard work. Bravo for sharing ❤

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Thank you.

[@karenruff4465]

Great job! Looking forward to seeing the finish!

[@avrilpeters5900]

Hi Ryan the owners must have health issues that led them not to be able to care for it themselves. No one knows what people are going through

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

That's exactly right, it's very easy to judge a person's situation but we don't know what they are going through ❤️

[@lilliansantiago8803]

Looks like a whole new place! Great job guys!

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Thank you.

[@rosekathrein1119]

After this yard you need to sharpen all your shovels, grubhoes, hoes, machetes, etc, etc. I like anything you do that makes it look so much better. Especially when you rake first then use the blower. It makes a huge dust storm but of course it’s awesome for the finishing stuff. Josh was a great help to you.

[@rosekathrein1119]

What a beautiful place this used to be. It’s great you two are bringing it back to life. What an undertaking! Whew!!

[@myraholmes1178]

What a yard. Unreal

[@ruadhscottygirl2480]

Just fell in love with the archaeology of this place all over again! Thank you for the compilation.

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

My pleasure.

[@sherrybrown6426]

It is beautiful! Now if someone would come in and pressure wash all the hard scape and add a few flowers for color

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

I'll be doing that once it's all finished 😄

[@trinawagner2471]

The best part was in Part one when you rake the ground And the whole thing Moved

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

I thought people would enjoy that 👌

[@theresahandwerk7651]

Wow, amazing ❤❤ Absolutely love your work

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Glad to hear that 😊

[@teresae7235]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@donnahilton8924]

Would really help if you numbered your videos, e.g. Episode 12, part 1. And put that part before any description. Then we could more easily catch up. Thanks.

[@terrydelorenzo3486]

Amazing reveal!! I binged watch all 12 videos❤ couldn't wait to see the results and you did not disappoint. Ryan congrats for sticking with it to the end. I am now a full hearted viewer so is my family🤗. God bless you and all you do in life🙏.

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Wow that's some serious viewing! Thank you.

[@lindashultz1904]

Awesome job. I love watching your website, keep up the amazing job. Happy New Year 🎆

[@BrendaHarney]

Brilliant job, such back breaking work, you are the best!! From Ontario Canada

[@patriciahicks5903]

I like best the times you first uncover something -- a fence, a curb, a wall or plant, especially if you peel back a carpet of entangled weeds and grass, then the final blowing clean!!! After the first bag or two, watching you bag debris is as boring for me to watch as it must be for you to do! Great work, guys!!!👏🦾🎉😅

[@gertygordon33]

Its starting to look so much better. I enjoy the hard work 😊

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

I appreciate it.

[@corimara2431]

Si on ne s'occupe pas de son espace vert, la nature a vite fait de reprendre ses droits et tu te retrouves envahi comme ce propriétaire. Je ne regarde jamais 2 fois la même vidéo mais j'ai eu plaisir de revoir le début de ce chantier gigantesque. Mais ça doit être motivant de se trouver devant un tel challenge :)

[@dianaaguilera1599]

❤

[@elainegibson8957]

Your filming was way off, it wasn’t set up to view the actual person working, most of the time, you would only see the legs of the worker. Get the camera they moves with you.. just a suggestion.. but overall, very good work!!!

[@nancyhixon6560]

Tarps are reusable...just lay it down, scoop the debris on it, pick up edges to haul to trailer (also helps with unloading the mess.) You would have loved it for all those branches!

[@DianRentsch-xy4mf]

I don't think I've ever seen that much overgrowth. I'd like to see the finished product. Your back must be made of steel! 😅. You must have scooped at least a couple of tons of debris. Beyond a good job.

[@mmmotives7452]

What a job well done....I aure would have gotten rid of every big tree in that yard. Otherwise, thank you for doing an awesome awesome job!🎉

[@patriciastrow6896]

Do you have gloves and a knife to cut vine and roots?

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

I certainly do 😊

[@kerielmore823]

Both of you guys did super work! 👍 I love these clear out n clean up videos most instead of just lawn mowing n weedeating. This video gives variety.😀

[@marcyk3271]

Great job. One thing that a lot of American landscapers don’t do is clean up cuttings from long grass. Sometimes they leave a very thick layer of cut grass that can actually kill the grass. A little mulching is ok

[@carolgates8473]

I am amazed at how beautifully the air blowing machine leaves the driveway looking soooo great❗❗ I greatly enjoy watching you trim the trees of those overhanging limbs.👋👍👏👏🌟

[@lindamccaughey6669]

What a lot of work there. You have done a great job so far. Think you could do with a leaf lifter like they have in England you will pick up so much faster. Really loved that thanks. Good of you to finish the job. Please take care

[@solliboy8490]

Can not believe there was cement walk way under all that rubbish and debris. You both are doing a great job clearing everything up 😮

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Thanks 👍

[@CarmelWearne]

Hope all that mulch doesn't end up in the tip people pay money for that, you get your free gym workout with your job that's for sure I'm an 83 year old female very fit mad gardener love your videos as a first timer😊

[@GerardineMcguirk-h2b]

Gloves put some on brambles and insects and everything will destroy your hands please

[@sheilarowan8664]

You were on a roll there 😅😂 Doing a fantastic job as always ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ТатьянаДжаббарова-б9с]

Я не понимаю,что вы там рассказываете, приходится прокручивать на уборку.

[@nancyhixon6560]

you need a long handle snow shovel for that huge amount of debris! Amazon can help you get one....I'm sure they are not available in your area.

[@liliamrabelolemos9949]

Coloca umas luvas para proteger as suas mãos 🙂

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

I do now 🙂

[@Maureen-fh8ob]

I'm loving the relationship you have going on. It's refreshing to see family working together, It's fun to watch the interaction and the laughs are priceless. . The others are just cut and done, there's no energy, you rock with it. Trish I'm not calling you old just old school. You get right in there pulling weeds by hand. You go girl. A hail from British Columbia Canada

[@yvonnebrown2342]

Josh has worked wonders, please take the Agapantha back off the drive in,

[@barbbrandt1477]

Do the homeowners use the yard now that a lot of it is cleared out? Wonderful job!

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Yes he does he tells me.

[@charoa7089]

Hay unas cosas que se llaman guantes que se ponen en las manos y evitan accidentes tales como cortes, pinchazos, laceraciones… son muy útiles en jardinería, os los recomiendo

[@yvonnebrown2342]

Once all this yard is completed the occupants of this home don't even need a blower" a simple broom will be enough to sweep all, " once a week"

[@JamaGenee]

What a unique way to clear a large area...just stick a garden rake in the grass and pull up whole sections like carpet. Says a lot, tho, about how long it took for those areas to get so overgrown.

[@jpats6124]

Now I know why it's called monstera. So invasive.

[@carolineschulze344]

There's some serious mulch there. Would love it for my garden.

[@lindasbackyardgarden728]

What to you do with all this yard waste?

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

It goes to the local tip where they turn it into mulch.

[@izarkrisnursyamsu8908]

Awesome bro... love to see it... greeting from Indonesia

[@heathergorman5928]

Amazing guys never seen anything like it before great work take an Aussie Heather

[@debrakazort-wittenmyer7565]

Great video! Wonderful job as always. ❤

[@suehop1579]

Fantastic work, enjoying watching u clean up

[@carolineschulze344]

Never have I ever seen so much green waste before. You could make enough compost for a farm!

[@rachael9372]

WOW, YOU MUST HAVE CLEANED THAT AREA NEXT TO THE HOUSE AT LEAST 6 TIMES WHEN IT SHOULD'VE TAKEN 2 AT THE MOST. CLEAN IT UP MAKE A MESS CLEAN IT UP MAKE A MESS. WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER.

[@katlur]

I have to say this has been the most suspenseful yard cleanup video I've ever seen...MORE patio, and then MORE patio...on and on. I kept expecting to see Tarzan jump out from behind something huge and tropical. Heroic effort with this one!

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Like a soap opera!

[@shawnsourk2448]

Can you imagine what a nightmare it would be to pressure wash all that concrete?

[@avrilpeters5900]

Between yourself and Josh it's starting to look good

[@ransomdaniels8395]

That was a nightmare......I half expected you to come screaming across the yard with a TRex you found under a tree, hot on your heels. But what a difference!! Verify impressive! Y'all worked so hard, very commendable.😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Haha that would be something! Thank you.

[@isabelkerr712]

Huge mess but coming along well. Good work.

[@tinamaxwell922]

If its mine. I will feel so relieved. It depresses me seeing my yard untidy but I can do little work at time

[@lousalama9331]

You sounded like 'welcome aboard, this is you captain speaking, this is a boeing..we're heading for...' 🤣🤣 No kidding, you guys are awesome for taking this on💪, amazing job done!!👌💝

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Haha 🤣
