"Extreme Yard Makeover: Transforming an Overgrown Jungle into a new Home"

I found this yard in one of my regular neighborhoods that I service. I am always looking for potential yards/people to help and just had to investigate this one. I could barely see the house from the road. I was surprised to see the house in such an overgrown state because the neighborhood has an HOA. Normally they will make even a bank owned home keep the yard up. So I went and found out that it used to be owned by a couple of veterans. They eventually left and it’s now owned by some mortgage management company who is not maintaining the yard. I spent a few hours each day for about 11 days getting this yard cleaned up. There was a dead tree that continuously drops branches and debris all over the yard. The clean up of all the debris really made this job difficult. But I was extremely happy with the transformation. I probably had ten different people stop and thank me and ask questions about who owned the home and who hired me to clean it up. I first edited this video down from about nine hours to about 3. I then tried to remove even more to get it under two hours. I just couldn’t get it much shorter. I feel like we all can skip around to our favorite parts . Thanks for the support and hope you enjoy the video.

I am 86 years old and when I was young I love to help those in Need of help, wish I could now, oh the feeling in your heart, you just felt so good, it takes a special person to do what this man is doing, God puts that desire in your heart, there are folks out there that looks for what someone can do for them, not what they can do to help others, this man is special, bless you.

[@sherryyarger3753]

QA.azing transformation! Maybe now the mortgage co. will get it repaired and on the market!

[@carolynwardle6913]

A kind word, a small gesture sometimes means the world to someone. Those are easy to give and very much needed.

WHAT A TRANSFORMATION, 11 days and 23 bags of debris and many hours of labor of love is what took to get this property looking the way it suppose to look. The community benefits. Great job my friend, you are a blessing.

[@Toppslawncare]

Thank you 😊

[@karenwittman4074]

Boy I’ll tell you - you did one helleva job on that place. Congratulations! There aren’t many with your kind of work ethic.

[@markwhite5638]

A crew of four men working at least two days and charging a fee in the five figures could not have done a better job. That was Herculean, my man! Spectacular work! Great commentary too. You made my day watching this clip. Txs for sharing.

[@producethom4875]

After watching this, I had to say a prayer and thank God for people like you

[@shawnsourk2448]

This was the most extensive and best transformations I've seen yet. I'm disabled so most of the time, I watch lawn transformations. You even did gutters. No one does gutters.

[@shawnsourk2448]

Then you even went back to edge the concrete.

[@shawnsourk2448]

Then, and then you went over the lawn again. I subscribed but I can't join. I only have $62 @ month, which doesn't go very far. Question, what happened with the tree. I must have dozed off for a bit.

Super job cleaning up this yard. Now for that mortgage company to get on the ball and fix up what needs fixing before they let the roof fall in. Thank you from NC!

This is the most detailed transformation that I’ve watched on KZbin, it was really great detail job great job

[@beryllivesey4044]

Fantastic work I have never seen anyone work as hard as you did on this property x

[@brendajohnson6910]

Hands down one the best cleanups on YT I've ever watched!!!! You treated it like it was your own property and it now looks like it's part of the beautiful community it's located in. Thank you for taking on this project!

[@Toppslawncare]

Thank you! The more overgrown the better! Lol

[@robertshrewsbury5067]

I like your idea of restoring the home, for the community and perhaps as an aid to the owners. We don't think of "losing" the street edge of a home but as you started with cleaning the street and even refinding the gutter, I looked back in your video and the yard was indeed sweeping way out into the street. That was a good move. Noted the clogged roof gutters, nice extra to make the time to clean them and prevent roof damage. A sign of good work is it engages people and people did get interested and come over to talk to you. You were tenacious, you insisted on finding a way to get all the vines down. With all you worked on, I didn't remember edging but when you edged, it added crispness to what had been done. Nice the stuck cycle has been broken and repairs to the home are lined up.

[@KayDreesman]

That was actually the best I’ve seen in a long time. Keep,up the good work

[@LOOTLESS1]

Scott, I watch alot of these transformations and this is by far the best I've seen. You, Sir, do fantastic work! You turned a nightmare into a beautiful gem. Congratulations on a job well done! I'm a new subscriber and yours is my favorite channel! God bless you in all you do. 💎 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@debbiemcleod-v1j]

Wow ! You just gifted the whole. Neighborhood. You are a great man for doing this home. Hopefully the neighbors will step up and keep the lawn cut. By getting the lawn in order, possibly get the interest of some people that are in the market for a fixer upper. Excellent work. Hope you get work from some of the neighbors. 😊

[@joycemoreland5316]

You did such amazing job! This house and lawn looks great! My favorite part was watching you trim all those scrubs and cutting down those small trees. Removing those vines uncovered the whole house. Thank you your hard work. 👏😊

You did an awesome transformation on this house. Best I have seen so far and I have seen hundreds. You not only mowed, edged, clean up but you also gave all the trees and bushes an awesome look. You deserve an award on this one. 🏆 You did it all by yourself. I'm amazed, that was quite a job!! Nice for the neighbors to stop by, I'm sure they appreciate all of your hard work you have done on this. I am a little surprised that nobody offered to help all these years. Thank you for your time and effort in this huge transformation. God bless you

You are such a good guy. You did an incredible job. It's beautiful. I hope and pray that the family gets notified by someone in the neighborhood and possibly get this house cleaned up and out and on the market. It's a beautiful home and I pray that it gets a new life.

EVERYTHING THAT WAS NEEDED TO BE DONE WAS DONE! I could not find anything that was missed. Everything was completed to his perfection. I personally watch 99% of you hard-working “yard transformers” and appreciate your challenging work and your selflessness in helping others.
