He ASKED Me To CHECK If Anyone Was LIVING Before I MOWED His 8ft TALL Backyard

This overgrown property was in terrible shape! Not only was the front yard overgrown, but the sidewalk was full of weeds, and the backyard was starting to grow higher than the fence. When I first saw the backyard, I wondered if mowing with a lawn mower was even possible. I couldn't tell if anything was hiding in the 8-foot-tall jungle. I located the owner and gave him a call. He was surprised that I wanted to tackle such a project! He asked me when I did go out to make sure nobody was living in the backyard... Um...
So they have a shed in the back that apparently somebody must have been in before. A few soda bottles were found when I looked, but nobody was present onsite. After I completed the job, the homeowner came and was blown away at the results! We went into the backyard, and he checked again to make sure nobody was in the shed and it had not been damaged or vandalized anywhere. We spoke about the garden bed, and he said that they have plans to either expand the house or build a duplex, meaning that the yard will have to be removed and re-landscaped. It needs to be anyway.
I hope you enjoyed the makeover. Please consider subscribing to the channel and hitting the notification bell to never miss any new videos! Take care, and God bless you.

[@thomasdemooka4341]

What blows my mind is that the neighbors wont lift a finger or spend a dollar to keep this property in decent shape. For close to a decade I had an elderly and extremely poor neighbor who couldn't maintain his yard himself or afford to hire someone to do so. I maintained his yard and mine while working 55+ hours a week at a full time job! We used to ALWAYS have him over for good home cooked meals year round and did not expect ANYTHING in return except to know that he had peace of mind. When he passed, he left the property to a son who lived across the country who NEVER put out a penny to try and care for his father and I still felt no ill will. We did what did because it was right, not out of any expectations of getting something monetarily out of it.

Beautiful job. I like so much how you don't chop all the trees down, you leave some for the beauty of them.

Fill, you take on some tough tasks, my friend. So many of the yards you service are in need of a tree specialist.

They need to come down. Too bad there doesn't seem to be anyone providing that service to these houses.
