MAN almost in TEARS after I COMPLETELY Transformed his Yard - Saved him from a CITY Violation.

MAN almost CRIES After I COMPLETELY Transformed his Yard - Saved him from a CITY Violation.
I knocked on this man's door when I drove past and saw the lawn and garden covered by weeds. He shared with me he couldn't find anyone else to do it and his equipment is broken.
He did try mowing one section with his push mower and he hit a pipe and it broke then he broke his weed whacker. It was only a matter of time until he received a city violation. I thought he was about in tears when he noticed I showed up again to do the other side of his yard, he loved the edging!

[@kennyd8085]

She was hounding you and you saved her LOL

[@Kathy-cn4en]

I enjoy watching you help people with their yard work.

[@davidkendrick3158]

You, my friend, are an awesome man and incredible example to your son. I read all the comments and not once have you jumped in and questioned the situation with this family. That speaks volumes! You are not looking for their excuses…you really don’t seem to care why or how the home got to where it is today. You aren’t looking for certain people to help, you just want to step in and help. A lot of folks, when the homeowner left the house and left you doing their yard work, would have just packed up and gone to find someone they felt was more deserving. Not you! You made the offer, that equaled a commitment, and you lived up to your commitment. I would be honored to have someone like you as a friend. I’ve heard folks like you called 2AM friends, because you’re someone who would answer the phone if I called you at 2AM. I don’t know if this KZbin thing is your side gig or main income, but your heart is definitely in the right place. Kudos to you and your son for not just talking the talk, but walking the walk!

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Thanks David, appreciate your support, I do this as a hobby and to spend time with the kiddos and teach them to give back

[@chorika7670]

Ditto from me!

[@monicahoskins3561]

Wow! You work so hard I'm sweating 😅 I hope you are careful. Wouldn't want you to get sunstroke my good man.

[@trishpipkins]

Well said.

[@patriciaplancon8520]

Amen!🙏😁

[@betsymess8532]

So awesome to see father and son working together. Kid is picking up strong values and good work ethic. Ty!

[@victoriabridgeman5825]

That property when you started the first time was horrid. Now is the 2nd time. What an amazing transformation!!! You did them a tremendous service!!! They had better pay it forward however they can. Keep up the great work Erik!!! Much love to you and yours. ❤

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Thanks my friend, he said he would pay it forward!

[@dianemunson9698]

🙏🏻👏🏻😇

[@walterj8150]

Great job Erik and I cheer you on for having your son helping you. I wish more fathers would take their time to build character in their kids. Remember to keep yourself hydrated 💦 during these 90*+ days. 👍🏾

[@OutdoorswithErik]

For sure, it was tiring lol, glad to help and the boys love it

[@billmccabe9601]

Big difference. Keep your son involved, especially when he is able to see the gratitude people share with you.

[@pennyneal2456]

Now you can see all the potential the owner saw in it originally. You have given him more motivation. Thank you.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

It is a nice setup!

[@deebrown3708]

It is wonderful when a homeowner is kind, grateful and appreciative. 😍

[@sambogaddis2076]

That man is young enough to take care of his yard I'm 61 years old and I still mowed my grass I have back problems even Eric I think it is great what you are doing but some people are going to take advantage of you this young man is just lazy keep up the good work my friend god bless you

[@leecarey4375]

Exactly my thoughts. Maybe he could start by cleaning up the trash by his door. I think Eric got snookered.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Thanks my friend

[@OutdoorswithErik]

He offered to pay from get go, I said no

[@colleenobrien8212]

That’s a lot of judgement on someone you don’t know. We don’t know any of that man’s struggles. He might be lazy or he might be overwhelmed by life right now. A helping hand might be just what he needs to turn things around. Rather than criticizing maybe you could spend a minute or two praying for him. God Bless you and may He continue to bless you with good health.

[@debbikelley2357]

Simply amazing job guys. It looks beautiful. It is so amazing that you do this for these homeowners. I know that you offer this service free of charge and expect nothing in return....but... I haven't seen a single homeowners in any of the videos where they come out and help. I would feel guilty as heck not to help out especially when someone I don't even know is doing something so selfless and working so darn hard..I realize some can't help because they are elderly or have medical issues but there are some you have done that could help. I don't know..maybe it's just me. None the less,great job as always Eric.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

I'd rather just do it and not have them get in the way :)

[@chorika7670]

Exactly.

[@jlnasseri4390]

Agree. I would feel lazy not even helping to remove debris, etc. to make Erik's job easier and the home look better.

[@cherigraham3335]

It's not just you. I have had the same thought many times. I can't do a lot but anything helps. Also water for the guys wouldn't hurt.

[@normandong4479]

When overgrown edging looks as if it is part of the walkway, you know this yard has been neglected. Overgrowth this big really takes a team working together--nice to see young man step in. The thickness and dryness of the overgrowth tells us this has been neglected for years. Great job to transform and rescue this landscape. 👏

[@harrycurrie9664]

It's a reflection of the property owners laziness, just 30+ minutes work a week would keep that yard in good order.

[@susanmatako8469]

Hot day, Hard work, Happy owner's. Rest and enjoy the feeling of helping other's. You know I enjoy these make overs. Take care of yourself and family.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Thanks my friend, it was warm

[@rondathiesen9317]

You are a Godsend to others Erik and sons! You help so many who cant maintain their yards! What a gift you have! Looks amazing! Be careful n God Bless!👍😘🙏

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Thanks Ronda, blessed to help!

[@sylviasanchez585]

You did good on this job, it's 💯 better than it was. It's important to know people that not everyone can or has the equipment to do their yards. Homeowners are probably grateful for the help.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Amen my friend!

[@mandycote5662]

I’m not a home ‘owner’ and that doesn’t stop me from maintaining any yard site- it’s like my signature

[@mandycote5662]

there’s a lot of slum ‘landlords’ over here in 🇨🇦

[@sharonbailey4441]

Great job

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

Neighbors helping neighbors. That’s how it should be in every community. People let their yards go for a variety of reasons and just need a lift up. You and your son are doing just that.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Thanks my friend, we are blessed to be able to help!

[@connycatlady7429]

You are a good one. Did an amazing job ! The people should be grateful for your help.

[@usmadgirl3074]

I'm 4 days late but wanted to tell you what an amazing transformation you made of this yard & landscaping! Looks great, Erik! You're such a hard worker & teaching your son the same!😊

[@denisemessier2815]

It looks fantastic!!! That was a ton of work on a hot day. Great work out for the arms because that was a lot of weed whacking. Tremendous difference after you tackled this property. Take care my friend with the heart of gold.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

My arms were so sore after weed wacking lol

[@nightdweller6446]

You do good work, sir. I can only hope these households appreciate it as much as we do. Blessed be

[@Jane5720]

I like the landscaping tiered the way it was it looks like it’s going to be a good property and you did a great job

[@OutdoorswithErik]

It was sharp!

[@patvisek222]

you did a wonderful job on his property! looks real nice! how couldn't he be pleased with what you did for him!

[@OutdoorswithErik]

He really appreciated it

[@marjoriemartin9520]

Hello sir, your kindness toward the people you help is beyond reproach. You are modeling to your son how important it is to help others. I've watched various yard makeovers, but your videos, I think, are the most sincere in helping....not to show off, but to actually show you care. May you be blessed. Thank you.

[@patsymardis3700]

You are blessed having the proper tools to do the task and the know how to use them as well as your compassion for a job that needs to be done. Great work, looks magnificent!!

[@BrendaHoward411]

Good job! I hope everyone will realize how hard you are working to help others. This is a good thing and you should be proud of yourself.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

I'm just blessed I'm healthy enough to be able to help my friend

[@jonnieyoung4343]

Looks like this yard ( at one time) was beautifully landscaped. Hopefully this will inspire the homeowner to try a bit harder to maintain it! 🙏for both you the volunteer and the homeowner.

[@loritracy1385]

Well done. You gave that property a real good haircut, making everything look better. And you brought your son, teaching him about the gift of doing for others. Thank you. 🌺

[@susanwesterfield6953]

I agree whole Heartly with David Kendric. I can't top what he said, I never thought I would ever be watching videos of yardwork..but here I am! I love what you guys are doing and I share your channel everywhere. People NEED to see that there's love in the world. You both are examples to follow. God Blessings be with you both. :-)

[@jamesbaker9383]

Thank You for removing the grass from the road. You just might saved some biker's life.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

For sure, I wanted to keep that out of the road, safety first my friiend

[@markfive6836]

Good job, Erik & son! Thanks for this video.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Thhanks for stoppnig by

[@grumpyoldman7948]

Days like this will make you pray for a cloud or a nice breeze. Be careful in this heat. Great job!

[@OutdoorswithErik]

It was a hot one lol

[@rick5653]

What a kind and beautiful person you are. I have to say that I’m disappointing that that that young man did not come out and help you and it’s his lawn. I feel that just saying thank you it was not enough.

[@lisab.1595]

Fantastic job by you and your son. What a transformation !! The house could use a good pressure wash, and once the landscaping is finished, it's really going to "pop". It's a nice looking property, I love the rockwork, and I'm sure this gave the owners a jump start to do the extended landscaping they had in mind. Just beautiful .

[@aliasfred]

Maybe Erik should mention to the homeowner that he has a skid steer, could help him move those piles of "landscape" concrete rocks around a bit.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Thanks my friend, just blessed I'm able to help, feel free to share

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Only challenge is, I don't have a truck or trailer big enough to pull it

[@karenburdick5962]

What a transformation!🤩 The whole block looks beautiful now too!

[@OutdoorswithErik]

LOL, thanks my friend

[@samanthagomez7074]

What a special person you are to care about others like grooming their lawns free. My hat is off to you and if there were more people like you the world would be a better place!

Hard work that is so satisfying is great for any kind of anxiety or depression. I have struggled with depression my whole life and watching this video is very helpful.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Thanks Connie, probably not the easiest way but it worked, thanks for your support

[@jothankyou2]

I was saying the same thing. Maybe I could purchase one too. Just to till up dirt to garden spots. . Eric you did another amazing transition for another. Thank you for helping others. 👒🎩🙋

[@maggieteusch6221]

Another amazing job! I have no clue how you have time or energy to do all you do but thanks for helping others

[@debrahbrandon3480]

A little help like that helps people push forward to doing more in their yard.

[@dorishernandez9873]

You are one awesome man and son I'll thank you for what you're doing keep up the good work and God will bless you thank you so much for helping people that can't help their selves

You took on a hard job. Could fill a lot of holes with all that dirt. Nice job.

[@doloresbingham7956]

I have to say you impress me you’re a good man and your son is learning from you you do so much good for people With no questions asked I have to say I don’t know if I could’ve stayed there when they all left me to do their yardwork but I bow my head to you no questions ever asked be safe and God bless

Why wouldn’t the man come out and help him he doesn’t look like he can’t walk. You are an angel

[@barbarahoover3941]

Another great job Erik. Glad your son is out helping you today 👍🏻 Good kid you got there.. Sure hope that man when he's comes home will have a great big smile on his face, and keep his yard up. You did the hard part for him. Fantastic job ❤😎👍🏻

He seemed to like it.

[@Arwen2446]

Bless you. What a difference. If we helped one another like you just did, what a wonderful world this would be!

[@Broad382]

Excellent job! Although I think I would have asked that “young man” to come out and help, especially since you did not charge him . Well done 👍

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Nah, he would have just got in the way, we had work to do

[@kayengebretson6750]

Also we have nothing to tell us why he didn’t help right away,not all health problems,etc can be readily seen.

[@marystevens6245]

You have to be the most kind hearted man. I know you are paying it forward but do you not ever get tired? I wish I knew someone like you when I lived in my home an went to nursing school and worked full-time and lived by myself.

[@cposwn]

Well done. It looks really nice now. Thanks for helping out your community and thanks for sharing the video. Looking forward to seeing the next video.

[@pattyprice2644]

I wished more people would practice the kindness that you do Very beautiful gardens

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Just blessed I can do it

[@darleneridgeway7452]

You work very hard! Part of being an adult is being responsible… he needs to buy something to mow grass with. This problem isn’t going away. I’m 75 & mow my yard & all the other chores. I had my knee replaced in February & mowed a month later.

[@michaelray5660]

thank you so much for thinking of others. But you need to take care of your place a little in-between helping others as well. our love and prayers are with you.

You are inspiring. Yard work is NOT easy so you have a HUGE HEART. Your pride in workmanship shines through. You didn’t just cut it! You shoveled! Hauled away debris! Blew away the excess to make pristine! CARED enough to not ruin the berries you uncovered!! That is HEART!! You are a blessing and an angel!!Who said one person can’t create change in this world. I would love to know what type of weed eater and edger you are using!

[@arbynetruden7012]

All I have to say is GOD BLESS you Eric for doing the things you are doing for people.......

[@mariannelooney9369]

This will probably give the homeowner incentive to finish his hardscape and landscaping that he started. Sometimes life gets in the way that prevents us from doing the things we want to finish, but I bet this brother is going to make time now. Looks fabulous! I love the hardscape he started. So nice!

[@OutdoorswithErik]

I hope so, love his concrete setup

Man for free and all the labor and expense, wow. I saw a sign today that simply read: "Weeds Mowed". ON fence and in that lot the weeds were about 5 feet tall. I have a little acre that can be challenge to me but I get it done. As a homeowner I have tried to hire someone to cut out a ditch, no one responds. For free I'd be getting you jugs of gas, trimmer line, plenty of ice cold thirst quenchers and my greatest gratitude. Hats off sir.

[@douglasradowick508]

Erik, I remembered seeing a lawn cleaning tip on KZbin and I knew I had to pass it on to you, to keep your bottom line of your budget as large as possible!😁👍! Part 1) is to drill 8 (1/4" )holes into the bottom of your large plastic garbage cans, 1 inch from the bottom just above where it turns upwards all around. The holes relieve the vaccum pressure when the bags are full and you can't get them out. This first tip will help keep the profit margin as large as possible by needing to buy fewer bags and less often! Tip#2) to cut a "push plate" 1 inch smaller than the length of the bottom of the can. Screw 2 boards on the plate from the underside so the screw ends are facing up. Then, from the top side, screw into the board strips 2 2 screw drawer handles. Put a garbage bag into can-like usual- fill it with the grass clippings or raked leaf piles, putting plate on top and pushing down on grass/leaves in can. This will compress the contents so you call fill it with more! Tie the bag shut when it's full, the holes will act as vents pulling in the air to fill in the space that's being created as you lift out the bag! This tip will help you to use less bags (getting filled with more refuse, helping your bottom line to be a larger number! I had to get you this tip for helping your business to grow. This trick does work, I watched it be done from start to finish. Have a great day and let me know if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me with any information you need. Doug🤓👍😁

[@tesssmith4036]
