Her Brother PASSED AWAY and left her this Crazy OVERGROWN YARD!

So this is what happens when your brother, who lives in another state, passes away and leaves you with a gardening nightmare to tend with. Luckily, the customer found me, and I was more than happy to help with this cleanup. The brief was pretty straightforward - get the place back into shape, ready for a deceased estate sale. I was given complete freedom to do whatever needed doing, as quickly as possible, to get the property back into shape and looking good. You know I love a challenge, so sit back and enjoy. This job took me around 12 hours to complete, with 2 trips to the landfill. This is part 1 of 2.

___________________________________________________
FAQ's:
Q: Where are you located?
A: I am from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 🦘.
Q: Do you worry about snakes?
A: I have never even seen a snake in over 5 years on the job.
Q: Which equipment do you use?
A: Mostly STIHL power equipment (battery and petrol) and commercial Honda self-propelled mowers.
Q: How much do the jobs cost?
A: Sorry, I prefer not to talk about costs.
Q: What happened to Nick?
A: Nick was offered a full-time position at his other job as a Political admin.
Q: What happened to Brent?
A: Brent quit at the start of August 2022.
Q: Why don't you use tarps instead of bins?
A: Tarps are too difficult to move through small spaces and lift into the trailer. The same for wheelbarrows, they are only good for unloading the trailer!
Q: Why are the hot water cylinders outside?
A: I would say it's because Australia had a temperate to tropical climate, and therefore it doesn't matter that much if they are outdoors. To me, though, it seems a bit inefficient to have them outside in Tasmania with a temperate climate (coldish for 3 - 4 months per year). But that is industry standard down here 🤷‍♂️
Q: Why are you cutting so close to your employee?
A: I'm not cutting too close to my workers, they are standing too close to where I am working! All of my workers have been told numerous times about standing too close to the tools and about the hazards involved!
Q: Why do your workers do all the lifting and carrying?
A: Basically, they are employed to carry things and I pay them well, to do the job required.
Q: You work so well together, how do you do it?
A: That's the magic of editing. My workers are basically given instructions on what to do, I just edit it all out, so the videos look seamless!
Q: Why don't you have help?
A: I've had many problems with employees in the past, so now I work alone.
Q: Why don't you have a ride-on mower?
A: Well, there are a few reasons.
1. I don't have the right trailer for a ride on, considering I always take away the green waste.
2. I don't have anywhere to store it, as my shed is too small.
3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can't actually get a ride-on on to the properties.
4. I don't do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k AUD on a stander, but it would be nice to have one!
5. I will get one as soon as my transport and storage problems are solved.
Q: What happened to your workers?
A: Because the work is so hard and I expect high standards, most have quit over time. The only exception so far is Nick.
Q: What types of ladders do you use?
A: The large one is a Gorilla Adjustable Platform 150kg and the small one is a Gorilla Mighty 19. They are both adjustable.
Q: Who/what is Jim's Mowing?
A: Jim's Mowing is a franchise business. The Jim's Group is the biggest home services franchise in Australia.

George, you do the most thorough garden transformation of anyone I have ever seen on KZbin. You carry off the waste which many others do not do. Your before and after shots are always long enough so I can get a good look at the changes. Also, George, your captions are very helpful. Living in the USA I am unfamiliar with many of the plants.

You can tell you’re one of the few gardeners on YT who have doing this job for a long time. Nice work on this one especially. And the gent who passed away: you just know he took immense pride in his garden. Shame that some family members couldn’t honour him by not stealing his things!!

[@Trish0305]

Agree with you there totally

[@junehallaran5897]

George, thank you so much for continuing to identify the plants and shrubs and trees that you come across on these jobs. I know I'm not the only one who appreciates the extra time and effort to get it all in a video. You're awesome and do an awesome job! Thanks again from NE Ohio.

[@neesr13]

Outstanding transformation. The landscaping was a joy to see all cleaned up. I love how you go the extra mile with the little things that no one else would.

Beautiful transformation! The Family trusted you, and you did not let them down. Well done!

You amaze me with every video! Lots of plants now show their beauty while before they were just part of the disaster. The Japanese maple is the prettiest I've ever seen. Would have to believe the brother is resting a bit easier now that his beloved garden is being restored.

What a beautiful garden. Someone loved this home and had a green thumb. RIP brother.

You have such an eye for detail. You not only mow, you do the little things that make the yard look fantastic. Love watching your videos. Always look forward to the new ones. Have a blessed day, George. See you on the next one

[@user-bc4gf5yx8h]

Excellent work restoring this beautiful yard and gardens. I love that you provide the names of the plants, it helps with gaining perspective of the climate. Nice touch also tidying the neighbor's area. I often look for ways to do the same. Thank you, George, for sharing your magnificent work!

I would buy that house, George, just for the yard. Nice work!

[@popgunlive1546]

Wow another incredible lawn detailing transformation. You’re one of the few full lawn detailers out there on KZbin. You spend just as much time if not more on garden beds and trimming trees , shrubs and bushes than mowing, edging and trimming grass. Your truck setup is a workshop on wheels complete with ample capacity to haul away yard waste material. Well done!

[@genwhite1175]

What a lovely little place. Pity about the road noise. Must be near a major road or highway by the sound of it. I loved this garden, especially the red Japanese maple and the little Crabapple tree. I rushed over to Google when you said Mediterranean Spurge, but I see it's another name for Euphorbia which I know it as, lol. You did a fantastic job, as usual, cleaning it all up. It's easy to see someone, maybe the lady's brother, had really loved this garden at one time. Can't wait to see you do up the back.

[@lulunz6809]

You did an outstanding job so far George. I can imagine the woman who you are helping will find this a huge relief when she sees it and she will be amazed by the transformation so far. She won't have to do anything except for maybe mow the lawns once or twice before it will be sold. I am sure you have increased the value of the house now. Thank you for all you do. Even the neighbours had a wee treat of having their verge tidied! Oh yes, and I was very impressed about how you organised a bit of rain to green up the lawn too. Only you could do that 🤣🤣❤❤

I love the color of Japanese maples, and you’ve trimmed this one up nicely! The old wheelbarrow was kind of enviable as a garden piece. Circumstances around this job are sad to ponder, however, you have definitely gotten rid of one of the sister’s worries.

Now that there is money to be made from having an estate sale, now family want the place cleaned up. You did a very good job of the front garden George. It transformed the front of the property and made the house stand out. Very pretty Japanese bush blowing in the wind. I can't stand those round bushes every garden seems to have. They get out of control if one doesn't keep them cut round. And vines, Agapanthas & furs, seem to be in almost every garden. Looking forward to part 2.
