Elderly Couple STUNNED with What I FOUND BURIED under this Overgrown Grass, Wait until you see this! #overgrownlawn
This Elderly Couple reached out as their yard has gotten out of control due to health issues and she explained she just wants her yard back. I drove out there and was stunned at how much Overgrowth there was. This has to be one of the largest trimming jobs I’ve ever done. They were shocked to see what all I found buried underneath all this overgrown grass

Amazing job done congratulaion

[@corienawaters1527]

Good job

[@gloriaa.garcia3985]

This must have been their little paradise in their backyard years ago. This garden with so much creativity/little treasures takes so much time & effort to maintain. Eric you are a great asset to your community. Awesome Job! Blessings/peace

[@jerryschmidt1230]

Get me back on where they're cleaning the backyard off

You can tell these folk arent lazy ,just unable. Beautiful tribute to genuine people

[@mufasah888]

Oh, my gardeners heart!!!! So many treasures. This is the type of project I could sink my teeth into. I would LOVE to do a garden project like this. I know this was a gorgeous garden before and can be brought back to its glory.

[@irishsakura1]

I would like to watch you create a garden!

[@kathleenegan8660]

I'm trying to bring mine back now I started with 10 green with red center bromeliads and I have a cast of thousands. Yesterday someone from one of my internet sites came by with her husband it must have cut it off a hundred to put around her trees. There's so many other plants because I've been sick for the last 2 years the grandfather themself all over my yard. I hate to chop them down when I can find somebody who could take him home. Live oaks ferns palms scheffleras monasteria you name it it gave birth while I was sick now I'm trying to just get my gutters cleared they're overgrown with purple wandering Jew and ferns and other Vines. But it's winter time here so I'll be able to remain outside more. Thank you for your comment all of you on site like this keep me going and inspired. God bless America!

[@debbiebousquet5677]

Yes I'm the same way....

[@lucindacanadiangirl8250]

I would be right there helping! So many treasures.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

I wish I could re-create it into a masterpiece

[@starrystarrynight9822]

the homeowner said "people don't do that any more!" She was SOOO appreciative of what Erik had done! GREAT JOB, ERIK! Seeing those different items uncovered must have brought black so many wonderful memories for them! ❤❤❤

[@OutdoorswithErik]

She was an amaziing lady

[@goddesssamantha8405]

The way it was originally built was an invitation for whimsical to take place. As the clean up was necessary, it still brought a tear to my eye seeing all that just cut away

[@kinsley7777]

it's a hard confirmation to accept when someone can't continue caring for the beauty they created ...

[@carlazegarra3451]

😪😪😪

[@mississippigirl]

I can imagine how hard it was for them. What a beautiful place!

[@karengossett1475]

It’s breaking my heart to see this 😢

[@debbiebousquet5677]

Getting old sucks. But the flowers will grow back. An now it would be easier to maintain. Yes very Beautiful yard.

[@voiceofreason7856]

I'm a senior myself, and I hear you. Thirty odd years ago I couldn't understand why an older neighbour was turning more and more of his lot back to grass instead of flower beds, etc. Now I'm getting closer to the age he was then, I understand ! In recent years I've cut back the flower beds quite a bit, only growing what survives the best, and is the easiest to care for. As long as I can still walk ( ! ) I can still mow the grass, and look after the few flower beds I have left ! I know I'm blessed to be able to still do it all ! :)

[@mrsjcolethephoenix7049]

Wow this lady's Green Thumb must be made of Miracle Grow! Hydrangeas, marigolds, ferns, dill, hostels and roses are the few plant I recognized and even though the garden is over grown the plants are all healthy and beautiful.

[@carolb29]

this was a beautiful enchanted garden back in it's day. Hopefully will be again. alot of the stuff you cut off will come back on it's own.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Agree!

[@dpalma8391]

i can inagine the beauty of this yard b4 when the owner still can meantain, its like an enchanted yard 💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@OutdoorswithErik]

It was amazing, had to be

[@florencecurrie7861]

This was once a gardener's paradise, loved and maintained. Thank you.

[@mississippigirl]

I can only imagine how beautiful this garden once was. The amount of hidden treasures and beautiful plants were the result of many hours of hard work. I'm sure it was heartbreaking to them to see it like this. Thank you, Erik, for working so hard to restore their area, so once again they can enjoy it. On another note, please watch out for snakes!

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Luckily we didn't see any snakes

[@melureuin3848]

Thanks for doing that for them. You know how many people did not want the job. And you can tell someone loved the space.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

IIt was fun to clean up

[@kathleenahart1331]

I would love to see a picture of what this garden looked like in its glory days. A lot of work went into it over the years. So sad they couldn't take care of it anymore. Great job cleaning it up. Made me sad.

[@trinawagner2471]

Yes this one hurts my heart all those beautiful flowers cut down like weeds too bad they couldn't have afford a gardener

[@judyingram4846]

Made me so sad also, lot's and lot's of hard work and lot's of money also. I can't watch this.😪❤️😪

[@sheilarowan8664]

Again a fantastic job you have given them a great start a little everyday and it will be back to its formal glory

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Thanks my friend

[@debbieflores5435]

Eric what u did for them is extremely generous. You are definitely an Angel 😇 on Earth may u be blessed 🙏 for all u do💪 you did the work of ten men🙏😁💪💞

[@OutdoorswithErik]

It was a lot of fun

[@brendajohnson6910]

These types of videos have made me really rethink my own yard and flower gardens the past couple of years. I have really cleared out all the "treasures" and downsized the overall size of the gardens. Got rid of a lot of pots on my patio area too. To be honest, it has really made me feel so much better knowing I won't be leaving a mess for my kids to deal with someday. Great job Erik on a very difficult property!

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Appreciate you Brenda!

[@veronicaalbin6934]

Very difficult with emotions, glad you were able to accomplish what you could!

[@karenward8519]

How many days did this take..?

[@deborl7278]

This is God sent. I really don't think us old folks should get in these bad ways became we all have family

[@paintedlady4589]

You can tell that at one time this was a beautiful garden.

[@joenash5220]

I bet that yard was something to see back in the day! Great job!

[@OutdoorswithErik]

For sure, nice setup

[@jeannieselzer7984]

I totally get there heartach and frustration . I can see that it once was a beautiful secret garden at one time. Lots of love and time was put into this .I too am in a position of despair over not being able to physically do alot of the things I used to be able to do because of my health problems. May God wrap them in his arms and take care of them.God Bless you to for helping them!

[@PeggySue-RL]

What a gardener’s delight this yard was. Maybe they can bring beauty back that they can maintain. Bless you for helping them

[@Jennifer62389]

It's like finding a Secret Garden and you're bringing life back to it. 👏👏👏👏👏🌺

[@denisebailey3951]

Love love love what magic you made in the garden. Your awesome Eric! Thank you for all you do for people! ❤️❣️

[@gailatkinson1955]

Oh, lord, it would have been like Christmas for me in this garden-all those hidden treasures! The old lawnmower, milk can, red wagon! The old tubs! I wanted you to display each piece so I could get a good look at them! You did an amazing transformation! Although it did break my heart to see all those hydrangeas go!

[@OutdoorswithErik]

I should have done that!

[@elizabethellis3755]

Treasures everywhere! This is one of my favorite landscaping cleanups ever!

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Thanks! Feel free to share:)

[@wilmasamel4574]

Amazing how much-needed and loved and miracles happen when we get the RIGHT person to help in our time of need. ERIC, God bless you.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Blessed to be able to help

[@jaweedsaid5150]

Eric too good to be true!!! you done a great job for the lady... much better looking good.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

[@melaniebly2410]

Eric, my perspective on why properties get this way have changed since I myself have gotten older, people like you, and that still work are a godsend. ❤️

[@molehogadventures6615]

Treasure under every leaf. Looks great.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Amen

[@lisaguzman7568]

He has to dig out the roots. 😢

[@OutdoorswithErik]

They will over time

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Nah, they will get it under contorl

[@Kajunliza1915]

I'm not gonna lie watching you chop those hydrangeas was hard. I bet this garden was absolutely beautiful at one time.

[@henriettadenzig3825]

Good morning everyone hope you are having a good day.

Good morning to you … have a wonderful day

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Good Morning

[@jeanfennessy8154]

Erik you are an anthropologist who has unearthed a gem of a garden. Bless you !

[@pammager7135]

Is the person who created the garden still alive, Erik? I really like all the garden area and the garden art that was placed all over. I bet that person really enjoyed creating that beautiful area! One of a kind yard. So many people just have benign yards but this property is a work of art! Thanks for cleaning it up Erik!

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Yes, they are, just ran into some health stuff and couldn't maintain

[@sandralee1555]

Eric you are amazing

[@sandralee1555]

How many acres is that it's huge!?

You're very inspiring, sir

Appreciate you

[@nadirschulz6701]

Congratulations to help the elderly couple!👏👏

[@OutdoorswithErik]

So glad to help

[@joannecooper4592]

This must have been a darling place when it was in its prime. I'm so glad that you were able to help them clean out the vines and little trees. They will have a good time going through all of the treasures that you uncovered.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

So nice of you

[@carolrush8158]

Erik you do so much for people who can't do it for themselves any more. Thank you and your family for all that you do. Love it. Marion, Ohio

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Appreciate you!

[@conniewarner1961]

Such a whimsical garden at one time that was cared greatly by the gardener! So many antiques mixed in. Oh I'd have a field day! Great job!!

[@colleenkarayiannis8814]

definitely whimsical

[@voiceofreason7856]

When I saw some of those ancient garden tools appear from under the foliage - an old push mover ,what looked like a long, metal handled old style edger, an old rusty wheelbarrow - WOW what a great vintage display you could make with them - perhaps arranged into a perennial flower bed - mulch it all down nicely, to keep the weeds back - it would look fabulous ! I'm a gardener, myself - I'm loving this restoration !

[@OutdoorswithErik]

It was an amazing setup

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Agree, lots of cool thiings

[@eveb446]

There were plenty of garden treasures there for sure. You did a great job.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

There were a lot of cool things

[@jamesburns3750]

Good job Erik cutting down the rainforest I'm amazed you didn't run across any elephants are lions.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

LOL didn't see any of those

[@dianegidaro6784]

This is the most interesting garden I have ever seen, even in its present condition. I would have loved to see it in its prime!

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Me too

[@gatorgogo2742]

Not only did you uncover their treasures but you lifted their spirits and added years to their emotional well being! Eric, you are a star in their night sky!

[@crowner6108]

seeing a garden like this let go breaks my heart, but sometimes life gets in the way and we have no one to help out, or are afraid to ask for the help in fear of being turned down. Much love for helping the restore their garden.

[@hazelem1266]

As we got older we, meaning my husband, found it harder and harder to deal with the garden. So we downsized, found the house too cramped for us, then moved again. Now we are in a bigger house with only a 5m backyard which is all decking, a small Japanese garden, and a rocky garden with a water feature. The front is decking and stones. We only have plants in pots which are all around. The only grass is out front on the nature strip which is required by council. It takes my husband not even an hour to cut and trim the grass. We still have a beautiful outdoors which is well under our control. It’s very easy for a garden to get out of control.

[@annettewalter2273]

Sounds ideal

[@annettemalaski1967]

Eric the explorer! Making these people rich again with thier treasure trove to enjoy! Well done Sir!

[@OutdoorswithErik]

They had a ton of ornaments

[@bethedmonds3028]

Thank you for your service and kindness. I'm getting up in age and love doing yard work. I know my day is coming, that I won't be able to do this anymore.

[@pollysilva7207]

I absolutely love all the hidden little treasures. Must have been beautiful in its prime.

[@altheab.8907]

Wow, Erik, that was some job! They could have a garden supply sale and make a good amount of money off all the excess things and that would help clean up the place. You just can’t do it anymore when you’re elderly. The mind wants to, but the body just can’t. 😊💖🦋🕊

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Shoot my body was sore lol

[@OutdoorswithErik]

[@snuassauns]

I'm sure that many will have a chance to come back now that they aren't choked out by the weeds.

[@annjustus]

You need to buy a pair of snake boots to carry in your truck for jobs like this jungle. Be careful and don't pick up any moving sticks. You are a blessing to many people. Keep up the good work.

They must have been terribly upset that their garden was getting completely overgrown. What peace of mind for them to see their garden again! Thanks once again for modeling kindness and service! An unrelated question: what kind of snakes might be in a garden like that?

[@OutdoorswithErik]

I'm not sure, I don't want to see any lol

[@jamesbaker9383]

You sure worked your "A" off on that one. Hated to see some of those flowers go, though I also know why. GOD Bless.

[@janababuljakova2534]

You are a golden person. I would run away. You did everything you could, the other shops have to clean up a little bit by themselves or their children, if they have any. I noticed that they have also mowed a small part of the garden, so they still have strength as I saw the master. Thank you for them too and I hope you had a restful weekend!💯👍👍👍

[@OutdoorswithErik]

It was a tough one

[@VPoko]

Two man job or maybe more! You are amazing. I bet you sleep like a log after this grueling workout. Blessings to a man that doesn't mind hard work.

Left from here then had to go to bday party lol

[@carolb3122]

Hey! Excellent job on the yard. What an improvement! That was quite an undertaking. I bet that yard was beautiful when it was first put in. I could picture a loving couple sitting under the WELCOME sign early in the morning enjoying the birds singing, sipping a cup of coffee at the table and chairs you pulled out of there when you were cleaning that space. ☕️☕️

[@OutdoorswithErik]

It was a hell of a setup, loved this property

[@debgiles4950]

Omg, that is surely a hidden treasure. I personally wouldn't be able to resist getting it back toa place they can enjoy. Love what you are doing. You are a blessing Erik. God bless.

[@bernielowe3709]

I am really happy that you are helping out here but I am very very saddened to see you just cut everything down. There are so many beautiful plants that your machine just cuts instead of them being pruned back. The plants make the garden beautiful.

[@karengossett1475]

Oh I agree, but with it being so overgrown he had no choice. Sad 😢

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Thanks, so blessed you take the time to watch them

[@mariannelooney9369]

OMG she had A LOT of yard art! Every corner you turn, there's something to look at. I bet she spent over $25K or more accumulatively over the years on all that stuff. Golly! Yard Art is not cheap. I bet her garden was magical at one time.

[@karengossett1475]

[@maryloudamarino4079]

WOW! Now they can did through their treasures and hopefully pare it down so that the yard can be maintained easier for them. I would imagine that one if not both of them are artistic. I can only imagine how beautiful the yard must have been when it was properly cared for.
