I Gave This Army Family An ULTIMATE Welcome Home Gift

I drove by this property and noticed that the yard wasn't in the best shape. I decided to knock on the door and offer to clean it up for them for free. A man holding a baby answered and was surprised at what I had offered him. After I finished the service, he came out to thank me one more time and told me that he had just moved into this rental home with his family. He also told me that he is served in the army, and so I thanked him for his service. I hope you enjoy the video!

Phil, it is a pleasure to watch you helping older and needy people. I am a 76-year-old Vietnam veteran United States Marine Corps and the respect you show is sorely needed in this country today. May God bless you and your family !!!!😊😊

[@vickytownsend1646]

Thank you sir for your service 😊

[@bill944]

Welcome home Mr.Clark. Forever thankful to you, all who served and their families.

[@fillslawncare]

Thank you for your service Mr. Clark! God bless you and your family.

[@hallowed_flag]

This video made you #1 in my book​@fillslawncare

[@bobbij3030]

Thank you, sir, for your service to this country.

[@darinvierth1679]

Mullein. I've always considered it to be a weed(25 years as a lawn care tech). However, you can purchase the seeds for it online and plant it like a perennial. Side note: the definition of a "weed" is "any plant growing in an undesired location." So a tree could be considered a weed.

[@sarahktm]

Exactly! Depends on if you want it growing there. Maybe she's an herbalist and knows mullein is high in value for anything lung related and to make earache oil. Wonderful plant friend. Likely seeded itself there though. Biennial not perennial. ❤

[@christinashawgo6510]

Yes, I’ll grow Mullein on purpose. The flowers are used in olive oil with some garlic as an anti-septic for ear infection. The leaves are used in teas, To help control mucus in the lungs. It can also be inhaled as a smoke. Herbalist will grow these in their gardens.

[@flyingeaglewoman8682]

Mullein is very invasive, once it starts it send runners everywhere. I’ve dealt with it on a property, best to pull out of the ground and get the root plus its runners.

[@carolwibbels3528]

.​@@sarahktm

[@jennierenzi8739]

Great job dude😊

[@Setiweb]

"Common mullein is a biennial weed. In the first year, the plant grows a basal rosette of furry leaves. And in the second year, the weed develops a tall stem. Common mullein flowers from June to September. With small yellow flowers clustering in a large spike at the top of the stem."

[@yycguy8722]

Glad you prerecord these lawn makeovers for us Fill. It is so cold 🥶 here in Calgary Alberta and I miss seeing the green grass. Keep up the fantastic work and stay warm.

[@fillslawncare]

That is me right now too 🥶😂

[@gregorybryant6610]

I,m glad to see you get (down and dirty) in this one .A lot of yard men won't clean out flower beds,they just weed whack everything green in sight . They could used some weed and feed on this lawn too,maybe after they get settled in a bit. Really good work in the nick of time.

[@clydepodvin5026]

I don't know why the neighbors couldn't help this military family out while they were serving our country.

[@Sargy18MPBDE]

I don't know why the landlord doesn't help out. At least provide his renters with the appropriate tools to maintain his rental property.

[@sharonmcneely3471]

The question is why didn't the landlord keep the yard up till he had renters??

[@pattyw7952]

Exactly.

[@user-pt5fb8tu1u]

The neighbors may be struggling as well or, since they’d just moved in, hadn’t had a chance to get to know them yet and have the opportunity to offer help.

[@1944robbo]

It's called lawyers, and trespass laws.

[@tee-steel.0158]

That driveway is a foot wider now. Great job.🇺🇸😇

[@user-hz3wh9ei5d]

You were sent to this house.Thanks for your kindness & hard work for the homeowner. Filming & editing were great. The yard looked much better. Your thanks to veterans and those serving was exceptional.

[@fillslawncare]

Thank you so much!

[@carolynsimone8647]

@fillslawncare ...I got a message that you wanted to talk to me...what about

[@debbiefortune2180]

14:16 ok, the first one is a wild sweet William or soapwort. The second is mullein, I bought mine but it also grows wild. It has a lot of medicinal properties, in Michigan it’s a native plant, others see it as a weed. Eye in the beholder of both plants.

[@shawnsourk2448]

Great job on the weeding and picking up clippings leaves a much more professional look.

[@billrobbins5874]

Very nice job! 👍👍

[@chuckroelofsphotography]

Nobody does it better!... Love the attention to details

[@barbhenley4692]

I’m sitting here watching and enjoying the green grass. I could just about smell the fresh cut grass. It’s freezing out here in Illinois. You have blessed this family with a wonderful gift. Stay warm and God bless you and your family Fill. 💜💜💜👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

[@scoobydoo5447]

I’m in northern Illinois. It’s a nice, balmy, -15° out! 😂

[@barbhenley4692]

I’m south west. -4 most of the day.

[@clarencewiles963]

Thumbs up 👍 thank you for your service to the community and this family 😊

[@spankyblack6119]

This video must be from the vault because it's so nice there. I'm watching this and it is -42°C here.

[@trinamcgarvey-vw7ke]

Mullein. Many consider it an herbal plant, good for healing. Others consider it a weed. Good call to leave it. Wonderful job on the property!

[@user-js7tt7bl9x]

Enjoy the special touch with hand weeding and respect to the clean finish.

[@acooper3903]

What a great job. The landscape has so much potential for gardeners. New families don’t have much time for gardening though. Thanks for helping this military family.

[@teribelleau137]

The way you Edge, and Bag, ma🎉kes me continue to watch your videos. That was a weed 😊 Love how you leave it so clean. Great job "Fill. Fill's Finishing Touches" ❤😊

[@jamesandraelynnpass156]

it's a weed. it takes over like crazy in WA and ID it spreads fast by seed. it's also an herb. it's called mullein. ( at least, i think it is.)

[@rachelpiscitell9993]

It does not spread it comes up blooms and then dies beautiful flower. Can get up to five feet tall.

[@jamesandraelynnpass156]

you are not that helpful@@rachelpiscitell9993

[@tonym6920]

I’m not a big fam of cutting grass and trimming but a strange feeling of longing came over me watching you work, almost made me forget how I was freezing my butt off right now, lol. Great job! 👍👍. 🥶

[@gail8494]

“Cowboy toilet paper”ie mullein. Nice job! Thanks for the warm video! You are a god send!

[@valeriepasbrig2864]

Wow, Fill. That was no coincidence that you showed up there. Yes, you are a godsend! Their yard is beautiful now. They have a good starting point. You did good!!

[@alanblasczyk1779]

Always a fine job Fill. Thanks for the gentleman's service from one old x-military guy to another. See you next week.

[@sandyloyst1811]

Those crisp edges, the flowerbed makeovers and your famous bagging of all your clippings has turned this cute little charmer into a diamond. Thanks.

[@Deepak_Singh1008]

I would like to see the family's reaction in the video. Anyway great job done 👍

[@natalieedwards_0415]

Great Transformation Fill ❤

[@timjozwiak2293]

It's nice to see green grass as apposed to the white snow in Wisconsin!!

[@danajhasalvegas5819]

Dandelions in his lawn, In January.... nice family to bless with yard tidy up

[@deepcow]

Great job. I really like to see you using the bagger. I can’t stand when people leave clippings all over the lawn, makes it look like a pasture instead of a yard.

[@slbarbieri1725]

Most of these commercial mowers have mulching blades. The clippings actually break down and are wonderful fertilizer for the remaining grass

[@terrancemiller8350]

You and the job turned out great. Thank you for your outstanding work, just love the way you turn a pigs ear into a silk purse. Lots of love. Afriend.

[@user-zp4if3qt3d]

A push mower? With all that yard it would take whole day to mow that yard! I believe that plant in question is a weed for no one would plant next to mature grass. Again kudos to you for coiling the water hose and weeding the beds by hand. You always do a great job and I really enjoy viewing your videos!

[@pettyeddie2000]

Much respect for you Fill and definitely the family who serves and protects us !! ❤️🇺🇸 And GREAT JOB !! It turned out great !!

[@marybiott4434]

Another amazing job 👍 well done

[@Celtkin]

What a great blessing for this family!

[@kathleenahart1331]

Great video. Love how you cleaned up the flower beds. I am a retired vet and I like your attention to detail. This family was renting this house...why didn't that landlord have that lawn mowed and cleaned up? I know that there might be circumstances. You gave them a great start and less worries. God bless.

[@timjozwiak2293]

Plant is Mullein. S Bi annual invasive weed. Many people like it because the first year it has a fuzzy rosette (looks like lambs ear). The second year sens up a flower stalk. Flowers a yellow. When it goes to seed...the goldfinches love it. Hope this helps

[@user-xo6cu7xq6k]

Thank you for helping this family. My son just came home from 7 months deployment. It's nice that people like you are around. God bless you.

[@lindadeerwester4914]

As I have a foot of snow on the ground today, it’s so nice to see green grass and a job well done by Fill! Happy New Year!

[@chriszurawski2728]

Like always amazing work

[@lindamiller1945]

Awesome job

[@jettyeminton]

They were weeds in Virginia. Great job Enjoyed. Blessings to you and your family.

[@robertshrewsbury5067]

Some great people to give relief to. Nice find and help. Your trimming, edging, weeding, etc. added-up to a pleasant appearance, dignity and fitting-in with the neighborhood.

[@bobbij3030]

Fill... that plant is a Mullein Verbascum and most people consider it a weed. It grows very tall and usually has a single floral spike, which is usually yellow. I say 'usually consider it a weed' because in 'naturalized gardens' those are planted for pollinators, it's most beneficial and draws bees, butterflies and even bats.

[@euniceloy7120]

Another amazing job. And if the gentleman whom you helped happens to see this comment, thank you for your service. 🇱🇷

[@sandymoses6302]

God Bless you too . 🙏

That looks like Woolly Mullein, per the NC Extension website. Commonly mistaken as Lambs ear, and vice versa. 😊 Good idea to leave it. Great video as always! I really like that you take most of your before and after pictures in the same spot. Do you mark it with chalk? I actually suggested that to SB Mowing!

[@vgorski7545]

Fill, Thank you for transforming this soldier’s lawn. It now looks FANTASTIC! I must admit I really enjoyed watching this today, as right now we have about 8 inches of newly fallen snow that came on top freezing rain. After those events, our temps have dropped to Minus Degrees with a wind chill I DO NOT to think about. Sure there are others in same weather situation. BUT watching this vid full of green trees, sunny blue skies, obviously warm temps and your super lawn care work has taken me away from our bitter winter. Thank You !

[@patsyjackson9328]

Always sharp blades on the equipment including shovels and spades,it will help with the jobs you do.

[@janetschram3552]

Thank you for doing this for our Military Family. The house should have already come with a nice yard from the owner (shame on you)

[@jodidavis6595]

What a blessing YOU are Fil. Looked great 👍🏼🇺🇸✝️

[@cwpowell9453]

Always good to watch your work❤

[@veronicamissV]

The only thing I could find is that it's some type of foraging weed. It's considered to be edible and medicinal. I mean, it depends on the intent of the homeowner when it comes to foraging weeds, I guess. Great job.

[@marciamc686]

Looks great glad you could help them out.

You do such nice work!!

[@dkouma1]

That poor camera experienced quite a bit of termoil this time around. LOL Again another wonderful gift to an unsuspecting household. Thank you for blessing this military family.

[@MrNoclutch]

My older brother after his 1st battle with cancer had to sell his Harley and care for my elderly parents, he borrowed the guy across the street Snow Thrower and every time it snowed he went up and down the street on both sides so the kids could walk to the bus on the corner and the elderly could walk their dogs. He and my father both served in the army and cared a lot about the people on the street. Good to see you doing something for others. My brother passed away 10 years ago and nobody picked up where he left off.

[@xerwpolyxeropoulos7501]

There is more to this property than it looked LOL. Bravo for going a step above, and help a veteran.

You are a good man Fil! God bless you!

[@klikklakis]

The difference between flowers and weeds is very subjective. To me anything that doesn't get mowed is a weed unless it is labeled before hand. Another great job.

[@voodooqueen322]

Mullein, medicinal herb, good for lung health, stalk grows tall with yellow flowers that is used as an eye wash with antibacterial properties. Leaves were used as TP back in the 1800s 😅.

[@sharonsimonic9646]

Almost everything we consider a weed was used for one purpose or another before drugs.

[@mariel9385]

The fuzzy, green plant at 13:40 looks like a mullein plant. Some people consider it a weed, others say it's an herb. It has been used for years for its medicinal benefits.

[@ruthanngraff6800]

I love the videos we are frozen an cold an much snow here in Michigan

[@davidyoung5114]

I would be interested in knowing what some of the properties look like one year after you have done the lawn work. I hope the people who benefited from your generous gifts kept their properties in a better state of up-keep!

[@lynstukalo176]

A big yes for rolling and storing the water hose!!!

[@neesr13]

There are apps that you can use to identify flora. Would be a good use for your business to have one.

[@ceeyaaa]

I watch a lot of the overgrown lawn transformations and 9 out of ten times there will be a hose lying somewhere and many times a lawnmower covered with weeds and leaves.

[@richardwalther6229]

Some YT lawn guys would never pull weeds by hand. But you go the extra mile - love your dedication.

[@R-Texas]

You are really good at making yards look like lawns, to me there is a difference between the two. The time you take to manicure the edges, rake, pull weeds from beds, excellent job of removing the clippings and beautiful mow job is tops! I really enjoy watching your work. You are such a blessing to those you help out. This was a nice job, we can’t help our veterans out too much! Great job!

[@jannibal9273]

Great tranformation, it looks great! I especially appreciated how you weeded the flowerbed under the large front window. As for the other bed with the one perrenial, one thingy of grass and the unknown plant, I think the unknown plant is a weed. I saw no indication of one or more flower heads forming and didn't recognize the leaf shape as a perennial or an annual.
