Free Front Yard Makeover For Elderly Widow In Need

[@EtwasMartin]

Your videos are proof that we could indeed live in a world where everybody wins. You found a way to offer free service to those in need while still getting paid for the job. And we get to enjoy great content.

[@ananuccio1533]

Comparto!!!

[@saftfan]

If you do voluntary work without making content of it it's free. When someone (in this case KZbin) pay you it's not. Plus the woman "pays" by letting the whole world see her house and some can even spot the exact location too.

[@marcmccord5085]

@@saftfan This guy is doing a great service for people in need, yet you want to throw dirt on him? Did he charge the lady? No. Then it was free. You should troll some other channel.

[@saftfan]

@@marcmccord5085 i don't throw dirt. If I (or KZbin) pay you for painting a man's house, then you are not doing it for free, even if the man doesn't have to pay anything. I'm getting tired of these channels who are cleaning, painting, mowing "for free", making tonnes of money on Tiktok, Instagram and KZbin. It's a business like all the other youtuber's channels, but at least they have the decency and not to claim they do their content for free.

[@marcmccord5085]

@@saftfan It is free to the person he is doing the work for. That is what he means by "doing it for free". No cost to the individual. I could care less if someone else pays him when mows and cleans up an old person's yard and doesn't charge them for it. He is providing them a service at no charge that they would normally have to pay for. I would bet that the people he does it for don't care, either. If you feel otherwise, you are entitled to your opinion. Forgive me for the troll comment... that was uncalled for on my part.

[@jillmenter5628]

Wow! Daylight through the windows!! Those shrubs were in sore need of a healthy pruning. Everyone will be amazed when they come back lovely.

[@sammybrown4680]

The thing about Florida vegetation is the crazy rate of growth. That makes it very hard on older folks to keep up with. Good job.

[@Excitable67]

Wow!! What a difference! I'll bet she gets nice light in the house again. You can actually SEE the house again. Looks so nice!

[@ChevyGuy70]

Your very kind for doing that for free. Seemed like it was a hard job but you managed to make it look amazing in the end👍

[@phyllisc8796]

the before and after pictures say it all ! Wonderful job

[@deionsharpe5139]

HEY BUDDY, that was EXTREMELY SMART using the mower to pull the limbs and brush to the back of the property , that's what I do, Saves the back , arms ,ETC, GOOD THINKING 🤔 much faster overall, comes in pretty handy, always have a good time watching your videos, never know what you might be getting into next and what you might say 🤣🤣 but I understand when you get irritated at some of the people commenting, oh well, looks good, anywho, keep up the AWESOME WORK PEACE and CYA soon on the next video and BE SAFE 🤑😷✌️😎🚜

[@kathrynwitte3398]

It’s better to take the brush to the FRONT of the property otherwise it becomes the next person’s headache.

[@joeandjudygreen5398]

I love to see windows set free from blinding overgrown ugly trees and bushes. Wonderful transformation. And there shall be light.

[@131dyana]

Hard job but done really well. Thanks.

[@pinecone01]

Wow! The before and after shots are like night and day! That property cleaned up very nicely!

[@darciclark4991]

You and your brother deserve many blessings. Loved this and was telling my husband about the couple channels of landscape care I watch. It is soothing to my soul as I have some anxiety and it helps. My good thoughts and prayers and be safe and healthy.

I imagine she feels like she can breathe again!! Claustrophobia big time! Wonderful job. Thank you 🌹

[@beverlymottley4798]

This is what known as working smart not hard. The two of you were doing great landscaping for this homeowner, great work.

[@robertshrewsbury9344]

Nice job on that first Ligustrum. It will grow back in a pretty shape. Glad you showed using your mower for towing branches, instead of the personal pull over a long distance. Less wear on your health when you can do it. Enjoyed the revitalization of the appearance of the home as you went along. Orderly, brightness of light into the home,....The new one for me was the tall "bush" in the back, which turned-out to be the overgrowing vine you were talking about in your description. That was quite a good job of figuring how to take it down and get it back into form. Nice finished product you two and good teamwork.

[@clairethompson2546]

Great job! Looks so much better.

[@neusac4590]

Nice job guys. That was a awesome deed you did for this homeowner. 👍👍👍👍👍👍😉

[@cleopatracatra2097]

Great idea using the straps and mower to move the branches. You and your brother did a great job! It looks so much better. Happy New Year!

Looks a million times better. Gotta get me one of those electric chainsaw

[@AngusHenry09]

"I just felt like runnin' " LOL !!! I got the Forest, Forest Gump reference. Didn't read anyone catching it. Great job sir !!!

[@mikeh8228]

I am certain the old lady that lives there is very grateful! That is a several hundred $$ job you and your brother did! Now she can sit on her front porch and actually see out to the street!

[@jamesalinio5277]

Though the shrubs had gotten way out of control, they should come back better than before with proper maintenance, those shrubs must have been allowed to get that way over at least a decade, it's bad enough with keeping other stuff from growing with it, but that was way too much, especially in height, good job Brad

[@cathiwim]

That ligustrum (Chinese privet) can grow 4-6 feet a year! I know, cuz i have some in East TN! I use it like a tree!

[@blacktoptechtalk]

Outstanding job! These kind of projects are a joy to do and always appreciated by everyone!

[@theresajohns5842]

WONDERFUL JOB WE SHOULD DO THIS FOR SOMEONE IN NEED EVEN IF IT IS SOMETHING SMALLER ANYTHING FOR SOMEONE ELSE BET IT WOULD MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF LOVE IT GUYS HAVE A BLESSED DAYS

[@loafandjug321]

4:35 Buy a cordless pole saw. It will replace your chainsaw for most jobs. No branches in face, reaches 10 ft high and cut shrubs down at ground level in one cut. No joke, they're SO useful.

Sometimes, you have to cut down the shrubs. Nice job with the chainsaw! The end result is outstanding. You could use a bush hog on the bushes that you chopped down.

[@mariearce8021]

If each person who is able can do something to help someone else, whether big or small, I think that's the point. If we volunteer or somehow get paid for it, the point is to help another human being in need. You Tube is just one avenue. There's a lot of different things the average person can do if we are able. I say able, whether it's financially or physically. I always think that all of us may one day reach the point when we may need someone's help and I've been grateful for the help and I've given it back. I hope there's someone there for all of you if that day comes.

She’s going to have so much more sunlight into the house which can only be good. Would be even tempted to remove those big shrubs before they grew back.

[@duncanjack2335]

Here in the UK, we use ligustrum (privet) as a hedging plant so the best thing for it is to shorten all those long straight branches.

You know you can sharpen your chains really easily and the files are less then $7. You can buy a whole kit for for $20-30 doesn’t take much time at all. Less then what it takes to go to a store and drop it off, then pick it up a week later.

[@musimowingmoreinc9031]

Looks so much better than what you started with. I personally would have just taken all out.

[@Valmtg]

I would think for elderly homeowners, having a clear and reasonably manicured yard is important. If your outdoor area is orderly, you got less to worry about and even though you may not be going out as much, even looking out to a good yard can be a positive, calming thing. Having clear visibility from the inside of the house is important when looking forward for expecting visitors as well as being aware of what's going on. Keeping plants from overgrowing helps reduce not only the vermin from moving in, helps reduce how often gutters need to get cleaned, the access that utility companies might need to the sides or back of the house, and if there's maintenance that needs to be done they can get to those areas too. If there's an emergency and Fire and EMS needs to get to your house, they will need clear visibility of the house number and be able to easily see entryways. I would hope that this homeowner is able to open their windows and get some fresh air as well as get a bit more sunshine in... perhaps sit outside in comfort now as the plants aren't all overgrown. A lot of those tall bushes looked like they had healthy branches so I think they'll come in pretty well. And if not, well I'm sure the homeowner wouldn't mind having the stumps taken out and put some perennials in its place. In any event, I hope the homeowner was pleased and I do hope they're getting someone to help even with the mowing as that looks like a huge front and back yard to mow! Sheesh! Great job guys!

[@EliteStricker]

Yea I know, can't believe how people let it get so neglected, literally just spend atleast 150 a month for lawn maintenance and it won't look like that

[@DonnaMSchmid]

Yeah, I've done major prunes on shrubs like this many, many times -- and not only have the plants survived, they thrived! Like you said, the problem is that it will take a couple of years to fill back in again, but this is the only way to get such overgrown shrubs back into shape! Good work!

[@alinaCatwatcher]

@Donna M Schmid: Would it make a difference if the scrub was cut to the base? Would it still grow back? I am wondering about shaping it when in grows back. I live in Canada btw. 🙂

[@DonnaMSchmid]

@@alinaCatwatcher For the most part, you CAN cut back to close to ground level (though I would leave at least an inch or two). The only problem with that is that it will take even longer to grow it back to a shrub of reasonable size... So, if you want your shrub to be hip-level, cut it maybe 6-8" above your knee level; each year, prune the new growth back to maybe two inches. Within 2-4 years, you should have a nice, full, hip-height shrub. But if you cut it to the ground (or close to...), it would probably take 6-10 years to end up with the same size shrub! BTW, this type of pruning should be done in early Spring if you live in colder climates (like Canada!) That gives the plant the whole Summer and Fall to recover from the pruning shock and gives it time to sprout out new branches/leaves/etc. Hope this helps!

[@alinaCatwatcher]

@@DonnaMSchmid I can't thank you enough for this information. Its exactly what I was wondering. Thanks!!

[@danajhasalvegas5819]

Yes a big improvement indeed. Shrubs this size often withstand a hearty cut back.... look at nature. Folks shouldn't go crazy about it it honestly. Better air circulation on shrubs and dense foliage, means less fungus to grow. You increased the curb appeal 10 fold... Almost a nature walk

[@landonstark5605]

[@kathleenegan8660]

Watching you take out that shrub in front of the window, you did a perfect job. Problem with shrubs that are manicured is that they're always trimmed so round but the real thing to do is at the very center of the top leave a little nude spot for sunlight and rain to reach the inner branches so they don't die out while the suckers keep growing. Hard lesson to learn most people end up with nudes, lol

[@maureenconnolly9734]

I took a landscaping class rule 1 dont put a tree right in front of you home, it takes away the beauty of your home. Rule 2 dont plant brushes or any plants close to your home for it will become a gateway for bugs to get into your home. Rule 3 make sure you read the tag on the plant or tree or bush to see how big it will become when it reaches matured and plant accordingly. Rule 4 if you dont like doing gardeningly dont purchase a lot of plants flowers ect. For you will have to maintain them daily .there was more do's and don'ts .But these our the only ones I remember off the time of my head. Excellent job on the yard and videoing
