I'M BACK...PART 2 of TAMING This OVERGROWN Garden & FILTHY Driveway For An OVERWHELMED LADY IN NEED!

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Some have asked how to "Buy me a coffee" so here's a link, love ya ❤ buymeacoffee.com/nickonlym

[@garryswain1208]

Nick I’m a neighbour. Let me tell you what a wonderful job you have done. Linda is so so grateful. As you mentioned in your video she is very shy and probably finds it hard to express her gratitude. But I can tell you that she is over the moon with what you have done for her. We are all grateful. Thanks mate a great job from a great man who gave up two days of earning to provide a service to a lady who is struggling in her life. Top top man. Forget the trolls just know you are a star 🌟

[@elizagoodytwoshoes9140]

Indeed I can imagine how grateful I would be too, so what if we make some mistakes the overall intention is what matters.

[@kimberlypontow3497]

Agreed!❤

[@kathrynwoodrow9724]

I think you've done a great job. As for the negative comments I'll bet these people have never done a nice thing for anyone themselves, so I'd just say take no notice of them. You are a kind and wonderful man xx

[@JamieTheSassenachLass]

a thousand times in agreement! Nick is pretty darn awesome ;)

[@karenshaw1978]

You will never please everyone, the only thing that's important is pleasing your client and being proud of your accomplishments. I love your humor. It's always a good day when we can smile. Keep doing what your doing, and I'll keep watching.

[@sayeedsayeed8720]

In my humble opinion, I have no issues with any of your workmanship and have throughly enjoyed ALL of your downloads. 👍

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Awesome, thank you Sayeed, what a brilliant comment indeed 🫶

[@debwright6597]

Please take no notice of the negative comments luv. People like that make the world a miserable place. We need more kind hearted folk like yourself. How many of the negative folk would give up their time, energy, resources to help someone in need? Don't let the miserable one's bother you or change you luv. Happy New Year 🎉

[@Speedfreak99969]

Cracking job I do stuff like this trying to help people out so appreciate the effort it takes. Just brilliant to know there are others around with my mind set. Good comes to good 👍

[@djfirkins]

Professional landscape gardener here. Like everyone else has said (and as you are already doing!), ignore the haters! You've achieved your goal and made a huge improvement. It's so much tidier, more accessible and easier to maintain now. And dayum, that driveway pops! 🔥 Also, full credit to you for taking advice and critique. Like you say, you probably went a bit too hard on that one conifer (it looks like a cypress) and it will probably remain brown on the side, but over time it might come back, and at least the driveway access is restored. But trimming back hard all the other shrubs is fine. They will grow back. Looks like lonicera and jasmine to me, and they're tough as old boots! The ball shapes near the house look like viburnum, and they'll come back too, no problem. You can rightly be proud of that teardrop shape on the other conifer! Lovely job 👍 If I can share some advice on rose pruning: hard pruning them is not a problem, but I would have waited until late winter, early Spring to do it. Also, roses can sometimes suffer from die-back if the cuts are not super clean, so cutting with a trimmer is a risk, nice sharp secateurs are best. But given you're doing this for free and time is of the essence, compromises need to be made, and trimming them with the trimmer should be ok. If you're planning a follow-up visit (perhaps if she comes around to the idea of getting you to clean the roof! 🤞) I would really recommend googling "how to winter prune roses", and you'll get some great tips on fairly simple techniques to maximise flowering next year, and you could quickly go over them again... Ideally you're aiming for a vase shape, with air and space in the middle, avoiding criss-crossing branches and dead wood, cutting to the angle of an outward facing bud... Very well done and kudos for having the initiative and positive attitude to just get it done. 🔥👍

[@DanProcrastinatesDIY]

I winced when he shredded the roses. He needs to get some secateurs. When doing anything new research research research. I wouldn't necessarily go on advice from people in the comments either unless they say the same as trusted online sources.

[@pamclift5446]

I agree with you. I would trim back hedge/evergreen bushes back away from the driveway. It will green back up. You are taking way less than half away. You are doing great work.

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Aw thanks Pam 😍

[@r9eaper]

Gotta love how satisfying it is when the roots and grass just come up off the drive/concrete like an old carpet being rolled up lol Loving the content mate. It's such a nice heart-warming thing you're doing for the lady. Keep up the wonderful work mate! 👍 🍺

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Thanks mate, much appreciated 👍

[@leecarey4375]

The people who are criticize your work, most likely don't know the difference between a rake and a shovel. And, they probably never done any kind of manual labor, if ever. You're doing the best job you can and what the lady wants. I admire you for even taking on thiis job. Good work, mate, well done!

[@carolwhite1281]

Absolutely fabulous job on everything: yard, shrubs, trimming and driveway, especially for Amanda without the right tools!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@mariebjuhr2394]

Yay, part 2!!! You just gave a gift of better sleep, less anxiety and firm ground to walk on to a lady who realy needed it! This was a blessing! Good Job! ❤

[@HelenSerrano-xo1tl]

Nick, you did a great job! Cutting the overgrowth made a big difference. The driveway is wider and so much brighter. You were out of your comfort zone and you did well for a first timer. You’ll get better with more practice. Get some pruners and it will be easier to cut smaller limbs. There are also limb saws you can invest in. Don’t listen to the negative comments! Your sincerity and effort is what makes me come back to see your videos.

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Wow, thanks Helen, your kind comment really means a lot 😍

[@nzjustice1118]

Nick, you're a gem, that's all there is to say. Love from New Zealand.

Fabulous improvements! It would be a pleasant surprise to also have her roof cleaned. Keep up the awesome work!

[@SandraJimenez-sr2xp]

That is the beauty of what you do. You know your craft but are willing to learn new things. That speaks volumes. Stay positive and do what you came to do. Help someone in need. Thank you and God bless you.

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

@@SandraJimenez-sr2xp So very kind of you, thank you ☺️

[@ahtemmathehun3506]

The yard looks so much better, Nick! You did a fantastic job trimming and removing that dead juniper bush. Ignore the haters and keep doing what you're doing! Don't worry about that other evergreen hedge. They're durable and can easily handle rougher prunings than you gave it. Yard clean up looks deceptively easy on video. Much respect for getting it all done in just a few hours! Thanks again for letting us watch you get this done! So grateful to be a part of the journey you've taken! Keep being awesome and doing awesome things!

Don't look down on the Job you did, considering what you started out with, I would say YOU DID A MIGHTY FINE JOB all round, and the driveway came out GREAT! BE BLESSED!

[@lauriewilt2622]

So nice of you Pat 💕

[@alinaCatwatcher]

IMO I think you did a marvelous job trimming those hedges. Funny thing about plant life, it GROWS back just like hair LOL. Please don't let the trolls and idiots make you second guess your work. Your making a fantastic effort. The dead bush definitely had to go!! I'm only one person but I'll keep coming back for more of your content!!

[@tergar1]

I always cut my own Junipers, and sometimes it looks ugly, but it will grow back. This one looks dead, i believe you will make a good decision. Thanks for the video!

Many thanks

[@ChrisPierce-xm1vi]

Nick, you are such a lovely man to do all of this for free. You have done an excellent job!! You have also done so much for your community with the dog park and the bus stop all for free. We've been waiting for this part 2 of the job. As for the haters, they need to get a life and shut the heck up! Keep going!!! We enjoy it ! Chris Pierce😊

Thanks so much Chris, I really, really appreciate your kindness and support, cheers mate 😍

[@maryjensen5112]

[@sallyc2593]

Yeah you did the right thing getting of the browned conifer. All things have their time, and his was up! As you pointed out, the other bushes and the forsythia will also be fine. It’s looking proper tidy now!

[@marlenetapia8859]

I live in the US and fall after last bloom and spring before things start to bloom is when bushes like those need trimming. The new sprouts are because the sun is reaching those areas where it couldn't before. You are right about everything looking better next spring. Thanks for helping older people that cannot do these things themselves, you are a good man and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[@whitestar4431]

Awesome transformation Nick, it feels good helping out for free it also is good for the soul. 🤜🏼🤛🏼 👍🏼

[@juliecumming9243]

You’ve done great Nick. It all looks nice now. You were correct to take out that conifer. It was deader than a dead thing. The shrub that was choking it could be cut back more if necessary. It appears to have a spreading habit. It looks like it is actually growing over the shrub at the pavement end too. I used to work in a garden centre and know a lot about plants etc so feel free to ask me questions if you want. ❤

In all other garden maintenance videos that we watch - those bushes are always brown underneath, it's only the new growth on the outside that gets green and looks dead. Whatever you decide - you are still doing an excellent job and providing a service that's really needed.

[@BoppaGram]

Nick, you are doing wonderful work whether cleaning roofs, driveways, or helping this lady out. Folks who sit at home and write negative comments do not have happy lives. Perhaps they too could get out there and help a neighbor or anyone by doing something kind. An easy one is to simply pick up trash every time you're out for a walk. We've done it for years and it helps our neighborhood and most importantly, the wildlife. Please don't lose sight of the fact that the majority of us watching think you are wonderful! God Bless you and your family.

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Hey BoppaGram, i've had a pretty bad day today and have been feeling a little bit low.

Great job Nick. I enjoy watching all your videos. Roses are real survivors. A really good hard prune back once a year and they take off again even better. Dead heading spent flowers also encourages more flowers.

[@judithwilton1383]

You made the right choice cutting out that conifer it would have never recovered. Once conifers get brown on them they become an unsightly mess and will eventually die. Good job well done.

[@SunnyJa1088-k3x]

Lot of plants you are dealing with I've never seen before. Neighbor had a fall so I took over trimming her bushes, I'm 82 female, no easy task as all her bushes are different than mine. Sharp points on Holly, Bottle Bush gets brush- like blooms & attracts bees which I'm allergic to so it takes awhile to learn about the various plants & how to deal with them. You are doing great tho,I think a mini chainsaw would be a great addition to your tools! Glad the neighbor told you how much lady loves what you have done for her!

[@carolwelfare7332]

The bushes you trimmed back around the conifer outside the garage is a prolific grower. I would have cut them back much further to at least the edge of the flower bed and away from the lovely big conifer at the front as it will eventually strangle that tree too. We'll done though. For a self confessed non gardener, you've done great. Keep up the good work. Love watching your videos
