Garden TIDY And Transformation! For A Poorly Elderly Woman. Bringing Back This Beautiful Rural Space

This garden used to be well loved, anyone could tell. Unfortunately, the elderly lady who owns the house has been poorly for a while and unable to do the garden as she's being taken care of in hospital.
I have never met her, but that doesn't matter.
I was asked if I could help out.
Rural garden in the country side, wildlife everywhere, garden in need of a little rescue, someone needing help? of course I said YES! 😁
Who wouldn't.
Thank you so much for watching,
Martin The Garden Guy.

I have subscribed to a few Lawn fixing guys, but I must say I was so impressed by you. With all the hard & difficult work you do there was one thing in particular that stood out for me. The fact that you cut all those branches as you were trimming that tree & then thought about the wildlife that can take shelter from those branches & twigs. That really touched my heart big time. You are actually the only guy that I've watched who actually thinks of the wildlife who need shelter. Thank you for your kindness ❤ YOU are very much appreciated 👏 💖🌠🌻😻

[@martinthegardenguy]

Oh hello, I must have missed this lovely comment, some how. I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, its great how you appreciate the wildlife as well ❤️😊 Its becoming quite a big part of my gardening now. I will be making more gardening videos on this particular aspect, its made me really happy knowing so many other people are thinking about it as well. Thank you very much for the comment, and I apologise about the late reply. All the best Martin.

[@Liz-m4v]

Agreed!

[@esmatnasr2676]

I enjoy watching real gardening.. That’s what I miss in the other channels I watch that are mostly lawn mowing with some tree trimming and shrub pruning 👍👏👌❤️

[@manouckgermain8945]

Very good video. I like how much you use manual tools that anyone can use in their own garden. Continue your good work 😊

[@martinthegardenguy]

Oh yes, old school is best 😁 although I still love massive power tools as well 😂 But I get a far better workout using the manual stuff 👍 Thank you for the comment, I'm glad you're enjoying the content. Much appreciated Martin.

[@debcherry4342]

I appreciate those that get the work done by hand instead of always using the weed wacker. Good job Martin.

[@martinthegardenguy]

Oh, thank you 😊 I think I'm just old-fashioned. But it feels like you earn it more when you use hand tools. Although I'm still appreciative of power tools. They stop my body hurting so much! 🤣 Thank you for the comment ❤️ Martin

[@pennyneal2456]

Acres Lawncare from the UK does very similar work. Cheers.

[@bartverhaagen]

Nothing wrong with using tools like a weed wacker !

[@catherinefromchristchurchn6508]

Right tool for the right job . . . 😊

[@linayoung4595]

I love the idea of putting the logs together as a place for small animals! Great job

[@martinthegardenguy]

Thanks 👍I have been building them everywhere 😂also been attempting to make my own bug hotels, with mixed results😁 Its crazy how quickly the wildlife move into the log piles. Thanks for the comment Very much appreciated Martin.

[@swansong5263]

At last! Someone who cares! I have watched gardening videos And it is heartbreaking to watch The annihilation of precious shrubbery With power tools. You have restored my faith though. I love the way that you nurtured this very pretty Garden, the lady obviously thinks of our Precious wildlife. I shall subscribe and look forward to your future videos.

[@martinthegardenguy]

Another absolutely lovely comment 😊 honestly, I appreciate it so much 🙏 I'm glad you noticed the little things. It was a wonderful litte garden, and I'll be back again soon to keep it looking ok. That greenhouse still needs some work! 😅 Thank you Martin.

[@R-Texas]

I stumbled upon your channel and found it interesting to watch you work this yard. How you knew where the concrete areas were and the way you “sliced” out the flower bed borders was very interesting. That was a jungle to me with all the ivies, but you tamed it pretty good. The tools you use are “old ways” tools that I remember my grandpa using. Enjoyed watching you use them. I like how you made the pile for the critters. You stacked it very well for them to be able to use it. We call them wildlife brush piles here in Texas USA and they are very beneficial for many critters. The smaller branches criss crossed and piled up makes for good cover for songbirds. I could hear the ones there. It was very nice to help the elderly woman out. I do hope she is able to return to her home. Enjoyed!

[@martinthegardenguy]

Oh, well, thank you very much 😊. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I do love my old-fashioned kit, and even the newer remakes of them 😁 plus it keeps me fit 😂 I'm also glad you noticed the little wildlife log piles. I like the term wildlife brush pile as well. It doesn't take much effort, and as you say, it's always appreciated my critters. I think every garden should have one 😊 Thank you for the lovely comment. Very much appreciated. Martin

[@Ines22sunshine]

It´s wonderful how you treat the plants and bring out their beauty again. Great job you are doing. Greetings from Germany

[@bay-m4j]

Watching you work so hard in the garden, I'm glad mine is artificial turf and gravel surrounded by plants, some of which are fake. It sounds horrendous but i have a quaint cottage garden. I have enough oohs and ah's from visitors to keep me happy! I admire your work ethic and you're nifty with a rake. Well done!

[@martinthegardenguy]

Your garden still sounds lovely 😊

[@anitaholst7671]

You're my kind of gardener: weed by hand, down on my knees, crawling around if need be...dirty hands. Take care of your spine especially!

Thank you, I've been doing it like this for so long. I'll probably never change 😂 I do find it all very relaxing and cathartic 😁 although you're right about the back, it does ache after a while.

[@oermama]

Love this garden ❤ the lady will be so happy when she’s home and sees what you did. I also put big cut-offs from trees or bushes in corners of my garden. One time a gardener who cut our 3 meter high hedges wanted to clean up my wood stack too, he thought it attracted mice and such. Next year he brought an apprentice along, and the first thing he told the lad: “this lady likes a wildish garden, so leave the logs.”

[@martinthegardenguy]

Oh yes, it was a lovely garden. It certainly wouldn't have been low maintenance, though 😂 she designed it quite beautifully. There was some sad news, though. She won't be returning. The house is now up for sale. I've been back to try and tidy up more for whenever it's sells. As I'm sure it'll be another elderly person. Thanks for the comment. I may try and do an update video soon. Thanks again Martin.

[@oermama]

@@martinthegardenguy sorry to hear about the lady, unfortunately that’s life when you live long enough. But it’s nice the garden is tidied up a bit for the sale, and fingers crossed the new owner will hire you as the gardener.

[@claudiagerhardt4715]

This is an amazing job. And your Tools are very interested.❤

[@LittleBearPaws]

What a lovely garden & great job Martin. I noticed near the end you cut off the seeding flower from the palm tree. We lived in a house for over 20years & planted 2 palms within weeks of moving in. They grew in to beautiful trees 🌴 and on the day we were handing the keys to the new owner my hubby came in & said oh a farmers trailer has gone by & some loose hay blew on to top of the palms. But when we examined it it was the palm flower!!! After 20 years. Thanks again for the video.

[@martinthegardenguy]

Oh wow 😅 well it may have took 20 years, but at least you saw them flower. Maybe they were saying fair well 😊

[@trishhoapili7587]

You do such a beautiful job in bringing back order. Thank you for creating a safe space for hedgehogs and others to rest and make home - it’s so important to help balance things for them. That greenhouse could look a treat - I hope she is able to come home and enjoy what you’ve done. 😊

[@martinthegardenguy]

Oh, thank you 😊 I hope you enjoyed the video. It's awesome that you appreciate the wildlife too 🥰 I create these crazy little log piles all over the gardens I look after. It's amazing how quickly they become homes to hundreds of bugs and animals 😆 it's become a bit of an addiction 🤣 Thank you so much for the comment. All the best Martin.

[@trishhoapili7587]

We don’t spray pesticides in our garden so we have a lizard “nursery” which in turn helps keep the crickets down, monarch butterflies hangout along with the neighborhood possums, raccoons and hawks. My husband has plumerias of varied colors and scents. It’s not a large garden but it holds a lot of varieties of hibiscus and sago palms, jasmine and irises. Our idiot dog has squirrels to chase too. Relaxing and nurturing which is a very nice break. So Cal is supposed to get a wet winter so we’ll see. Take care - love your videos.

Fascinating watching you tidy up this garden. Soon turned out that it was quite a lot of work. Well done! As I've no trees of my own I didn't understand why you cut back the apple tree so hard. I'm sure you've got good reasons, as you showed us the branches in close-up, but please explain for the less garden inclined among us, so we can keep up.

[@martinthegardenguy]

Thank you, yeah, there is always more work that I think 😂 I always find more that needs doing. The apple tree here wasn't really a proper prune. It was because it was growing over into the garden. That's the only reason I cut it hard back.👍

Ooh, pyracantha, also known as firethorn, with good reason. The berries can be made into quite a nice jam, though, if you can stand the smell while it's boiling! Those spiky looking trees with the long thin leaves are cabbage trees, don't bother trying to compost the leaves as they take years to break down. Alternatively to sending them to landfill, they make excellent kindling.

[@martinthegardenguy]

Oh wow, I didn't know you could make jam from the berries. I bet collecting them is painful 🤣 I once collected gorse flowers to make an ale, and that was prickly enough. I hope the taste is worth it, I'm gonna have to give it a go now! 😁

[@catherinefromchristchurchn6508]

Because cabbage tree leaves take so long to break down, you can use them to tie annual growth up for support during the growing season. 😊

[@jerijames2876]

first time viewing. great job. it looks to me that the ivy is growing over the wall. could it be coming from the neighbor's yard and invading this ladies property?? thanks for the visit.

[@shawnsourk2448]

Im not sure what the name of the tree was, but i was surprised how much uou cut back. That was basically what i envisioned I would have done. I usually cut too much.

[@martinthegardenguy]

Hi, it is an apple tree. It's quite OK to remove 1/3 of the growth without harming the tree. But you can easily remove more if needed at the right time of year 👍 Although there may not be as many apples next year.

[@martinthegardenguy]

Oh wow, I love Quince. Not so much the thorns though 🤣 I take it you have the small bush variety? I recently found a Quince in a client's garden, it was a tree variety (with no thorns) and Quince as big as a large pear! It would make jam making a lot easier 😅 Thanks for the comment ❤️ Martin

It looks more than a little bit better! If that pole was a bird feeder, it would be nice outside the sitting room window (if there is a place). If you think the greenhouse will be spider city, don't forget to tuck everything so they can't run in and under. Had it, it's yuck . . .

[@martinthegardenguy]

I think that would be a lovely spot, I do the same. Alway put them somewhere I can see them. 😚👍 And you are so, so right about the spiders crawling up legs 🤣 I love all wildlife. But that, to me is a thing of nightmares 🤣 Thankfully, none in this country are poisonous 😅

You will get it done Martin but leaves are a bit of a pain to clean up because as soon as some are cleaned up there will be more. I'm delighted to see a video from you

[@eric_seguin]

That was one crazy redo. Some say as different as apples and oranges until they are neglected and overgrown. That apple needs constant attention or you have to do what you did. Sorry you had to go through that. Hope to see you finish this garden. It already will make the owner very happy. Wish I could still work like that. Thanks for sharing with us.

Eric, I wish I could garden like that still, too. Once I could go all day and come back tomorrow for more. Now I feel like I can only pop out for liitle bits, and definitely not do more the next day. Do you still manage to do some? Hello from New Zealand 🇳🇿

Oh hello 👋 From what I can remember, the tree in the middle of the lawn was a cordyline australis, the bed with the grass growing in it was actually a very old rose bed. There was quite a lot of ivy, but beyond that, there wasn't actually a great deal of plants in the garden. Was there one in particular you were thinking of?

You done well there mate, fair play to ya. 👍

[@martinthegardenguy]

Thanks mate, appreciate it. 👍 I believe I've actually seen one of your videos dude, how do you find the cordless stihl kit? Thanks again Martin.

[@thegardeneruk]

@@martinthegardenguy nice one mate. The Stihl gear is very good, I’ve invested in quite a bit to be fair. Definitely worth the money 👍🏻

[@martinthegardenguy]

Awesome. Yeah, this kit isn't the cheapest. It's the batteries that get ya, though. It's why I use Makita, I already had a lot of batteries from other tools 🤣 I'll put Stihl on my Christmas list 😁👍

[@thegardeneruk]

@@martinthegardenguy I know the feeling mate, the batteries are definitely the killer. I was tempted to get some makita at one point, but thought I’d go with the Stihl gear as I’ve always had Stihl. 👍🏻

[@martinthegardenguy]

It's a good a reason as any mate, I've always found Stihl, Makita, Husqvarna, etc all quite similar to be fair. But I must admit, there is just something about Stihl kit that keeps me coming back for window shopping at World Of Power 🤣

Great job, still wondering what you do with all the offcuts .... compost ?

[@martinthegardenguy]

Yeah, most of my job have their own compost heaps. 👍

[@Wickgirl65]

Great job, Martin. Love to watch your videos. Can wait until the next episode. I looked up tools similar to what I thought yours might be and came across Wolf Garten. Is that the brand you’re using?

[@martinthegardenguy]

It is indeed 👍 I always put Amazon links in the description. I've always found Wolf Garten to be very high quality. I don't think you'd be disappointed if you bought some. I've been using some bits, like the grass rake for 15 years or so. And my kit takes a lots of hammer! 🤣 Let me know if you need any advice 👍 happy to help. Martin.

[@belc44]

Hope you do everything that was left to be done, which is a lot.

[@martinthegardenguy]

I always get there in the end, another days worth of graft, and it'll be done 😊🤞 still not looking forward to that greenhouse, though 😱

[@avrilpeters5900]

No Martin I didn't hear you swearing did anyone else

[@martinthegardenguy]

I may have edited it out! 🤣 it was when one of the thorns slipped up under my finger nail, ouch. Hazard of the job 😆 The problem is I struggle to work wearing thicker gloves. All the best Martin

[@LTFitz08]

It’s really awesome of you to help her out especially given she’s in a facility. Random question but what work pants do you use? I do a lot of outside work so I need something durable.

[@martinthegardenguy]

Oh hi 👋 That's a really good and practical question! 😁 I buy a brand called Scruffs (Worker Plus model) but also Engelbert Strauss. Both are great and hard wearing. But the E.S ones have elasticated waist so it's more comfortable when constantly kneeling and bending over 👍 You called them Pants, so I'm assuming you are in the U.S? Both are available over there, I think 😁 Hope this helps Martin

[@sarah140386]

What happens with all the garden waste? Where does it go

[@martinthegardenguy]

Every single bit of it is composted 👍 Spikey bits and bit with loads of seeds (or generally tough to home compost) get commercially composted. And the rest going into home compost bins. On this job, she had quite a few. 👍 Excellent question 😁 Thanks Martin

[@shawnsourk2448]

Im showing just how much i dont know now. What you did to flower bed, is that what is called cutting in a garden?

[@martinthegardenguy]

Sorry, I'm not sure which bit you mean.

[@kirstyroyles2070]

Looks amazing, what is the tool you used to cut the apple tree branches with?

[@martinthegardenguy]

It's a mini chain saw 😊 perfect for when I feel lazy and don't want to use the pruning saw 😂 There is a link in the description 👍

[@avrilpeters5900]

Will you be doing work in the greenhouse

[@martinthegardenguy]

I think so 👍 I'm not looking forward to it, though 🤣

[@pennyneal2456]

I love that interchangeable garden tool. Could you let us know what brand it is? Maybe I can find one in Canada.😊

[@martinthegardenguy]

You're right. They are awesome 😁 Check out the Amazon links in the description. Or search for Wolf Garten multi change. I'm sure they are world wide 👍 You won't be disappointed 😊 although prepare to get addicted to buying all the range of tools 🤣

[@dshollins5864]

How about putting the safety glasses in front of your eyes instead of on top of your head when cutting the branches? Good work.

[@martinthegardenguy]

I can't argue with your logic! 😂 it's a habit I've only gotten since running backwards and forwards to a camera when I'm filming. Thanks for the comment, it made me smile 😁👍 All the best Martin
