My BIGGEST makeover yet...PATIO reveal EVERYWHERE - the first 4 visits

Hello everyone,
This yard will be familiar to a bunch of you who have been following me for a while. For those of you watching my channel for the first time or if you are yet to come across this project of mine, allow me to give you some context.
I started this job about a year ago and have been visiting the property when I have 2-3 hours of time within my schedule. The owners have told me that parts of this property have been neglected for close to 15 years and by the amount of dirt, grass and leaves that are sitting on top of this patio, I would tend to believe them.
To date, I am very close to having this backyard restored so to prepare you all for the next installment of this series I thought I would put together another "4 visits in 1" video. Not only do you get the opportunity to see how much work has been put into this yard so far, it also gives me the opportunity to have a look back at the way I approach my work (and my recording skills) and see what I can improve on.
The work that's being done at this property is at no cost to the clients thanks to every single one of you who watch my videos. Income is made through KZbin advertising revenue and the Buy Me A Coffee website.

Now, just in case you feel you haven't had enough of a fix of this yard, I have included the links to all of the following videos of this property.
Part 5: • My biggest makeover ye...
Part 6: • My biggest makeover ye...
Part 7: • My biggest makeover ye...
Part 8: • My biggest makeover ye...
Part 9: • My biggest makeover ye...
Part 10: • My biggest makeover ye...
Part 11: • My biggest makeover ye...
I hope you enjoy this video and see you again soon!

Ryan you find these back breaking yards and turn them into wonderful gardens well done 👏. PLEASE use a mask with all that dust you will suffer later. ❤ From Canada 🇨🇦

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

I do need to get into that habit...thank you.

[@jackiejones1684]

You really are doing an amazing job on this garden. Thanks for sticking with it and sharing with us

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Getting very closed to finishing now 😃

[@131dyana]

That patio goes on forever. Thanks for sharing your hard work with us.

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

It certainly does!

[@geraldinebennett8321]

I absolutely loved this series and am very happy to watch it again. You are really methodical and clean in your work, which I find satisfying to watch. Thanks for being so kind.

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Glad you enjoy watching.

[@lulunz6809]

My favourite make over that you have done Ryan.

[@frankhall4]

Amazing removal and unveiling all the patio. It was like nature was returning the space back to grass etc… great video. Thanks

[@emeesu905]

so excited to hear you will post a new installment of this I have so enjoyed watching the progress!! Great job!

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Tomorrow morning! 😊

[@christinekesler8964]

Somehow this vaguely makes me think of the satisfaction of peeling old wallpaper off a wall... You find an edge, start peeling until you can't pull it back any further and then work to lift another edge, and keep repeating the process until you've removed everything that doesn't belong. A painstaking process that requires mountains of patience and determination. You are really good at this. It's a pleasure to watch you turn neglected and overgrown properties into gems. ❤❤😊

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

So glad to hear you get as much satisfaction as I do 🙂

[@jaytetzloff2827]

What amazes me about this video is the condition of the bricks underneath the mat of vegetation. One would think that the vegetation would have uprooted the bricks and displaced them to a much greater extent. This is also why it is important to keep any brick patio or driveway absolutely clean - weed whack the edges and blow it off with a leaf blower at least every two weeks or so, because if you don't, it will eventually turn into what we see in this video. Great job setting it free again!

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Absolutely! The brick work is completely phenomenal.

[@myraholmes8702]

Good job as always, Ryan

[@patigeurin7850]

Looks great Ryan!

[@ritafoster4958]

This is the most challenging backyard cleanup I have ever watched on KZbin. So much shovelling and hand work in awkward spaces. So much hidden hard scape buried under vegetation! You are amazing, Ryan! Please, everyone like and subscribe to this channel. ❤️🇨🇦

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Thank you Rita 😊

[@SandraVanLankvelt]

Totally amazing how much brick paths are under the grass and roots, etc. That is one difficult job for sure and I am proud of your stamina and sticking to finish this project. Excellent job for sure. God Bless you.

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Thanks so much Sandra 🙏

[@patkcalifornia8301]

I sure do remember this garden, Ryan! In fact, I'm sure I've already watched the whole series at least twice. But the third time's the charm ... and I so enjoyed seeing those first episodes again. I have to admit I was sad to hear that the "Decades of Growth" series (my all time favorite) had to come to an end ... especially since you didn't get a chance to pressure wash all those paths and patios. But, hey, I can certainly understand your time constraints. At least the "Biggest Makeover Yet" series will continue for a while yet. Maybe a pressure washing is still in your future?

[@jackinichols4352]

What?! I was waiting for him to finish that one!!! He left off on part 13! Where does he say he won’t be going back?!

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Hey Jack. I made a community post here a couple of months back. It's a 30 minute drive from my place so it's an hour round trip and with my busy schedule it makes it too difficult at the moment.

[@E.Meyers]

Ryan, I have watched this transformation progress and the amount of back breaking work has been astounding. You have accomplished more than anyone else would have and not given up. Incredible work ethic to show that this backyard will be beautiful once again. 😊

[@MamaJewelsMarshall]

Wow, that's a lot of bricks! Well done! 👍😁👍✌️💜

[@zoeannmattinglyfarmer9660]

Beautiful brick work. Thanks to your amazing work you have revealed it to us to enjoy. Thank you,thank you!!

[@vickigreen2981]

Can’t wait to see the completed backyard! So much dedication.

[@johnlaforte700]

You are a very positive person in a very negative situation. You are a better man than me or most men. I’d have thrown up my hands and said goodbye. 👍👍😊❤️😎😊

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Thanks John 👍

[@simonslater5660]

Nice re_cap mate, looking forward to seeing how this looks done 👍

[@kathymurphy7026]

I’ve followed this one from the start, but it’s amazing to see the first visit again. Ryan you’ve outdone yourself on this property

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Thank you 😊

[@noelle7714]

Whoever owned this property and made the patio did a beautiful job, and spent a lot of money on it and you are so lucky that the grass wasn’t growing up between the bricks. Now that would have been a nightmare.

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Agreed!

[@SusanneCollins-y4k]

Have so enjoyed your progress on this project. Can't wait for next installment. You have worked so hard on this. Well done 😊

[@richardspacetimeuhrensamml4236]

Da ist wieder viel Arbeit was man so sieht, super Transformation wird dies werden🌟

[@denisewiggins5172]

A lot of hard work for one person. Amazing transformation ❤❤

[@kimfeehan8368]

Once again you out done yourself. Your work is always amazing. In the amount of detail you just don’t let slide is amazing. Excellent work 👍

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Thank you 😊

[@nancythomas1954]

Oh Ryan this was so much fun! lol I was expecting pathways and you found patios!! or a huge patio! Who knows! Thank you so much for sharing this one. I will have to check out the other parts!! Hope this finds you and yours happy and healthy! 💙💙💙

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

My pleasure. Thank you, all well here 😄

[@joanmyers5148]

Great job as usual , thank you for watching out for the wild life, them possums must of been scared , well done Ryan ❤️👏👏👍

[@patsywilliams5570]

I think I would've rented some goats for a few weeks to tackle this job!😊 It's so satisfying to see something that was once so lovely being restored.

[@beverlymasonlpcpc4264]

The patio is unbelievable. Wow, what a Job!

[@kerielmore823]

This yard is a huge amount of work! You re killing it though! 👊

[@pamclift5446]

Large pathway. Looking wonderful. Happy you are looking out for the opossums.

[@MariaSilva-rv1kr]

Ola,RYAN ótima semana É BOM trabalho pra voce,ATÉ o próximo vídeo ❤

[@sandracontreras110]

What a beautiful transformation. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@kerielmore823]

It s funny that I thought was just an overgrown grassy yard n now tons of beautiful patio!

[@saritakendrick1272]

Awesome job ❤

[@sechristcorinne]

That yard is unbelievable. You are right. Restoring a yard must be so fulfilling. That is why I watch so many of these videos. If I were younger (I am 75), I would come and help you. I also cannot believe how all you guys are such hard workers which you should be very proud of. Having silence, I can believe is a treasure with your young kids. God bless you and your family for the role model you are to them.

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Thank you so much.

[@conniemaniaci3612]

I loved this compilation. I would have liked to be with you helping. I love this sort of clean up. Looking forward to additional videos. 😊

[@gardenholding4411]

Wow. Just wow,

[@KathrynStrube]

I honestly don't know how you kept going...amazing!

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Driven? Or a glutton for punishment 🤔

[@lilycook7000]

Wow, what a job that was, good for you to stick to it. well done.

[@gordanarula8747]

You are really good at this. Best wishes.

[@birdie2107]

Great job. Hard work! Looks great.

[@DianeNichols-u1b]

I very much respect you for not disturbing The opossum next you can be sure that you wont have to be too concerned about tick's because they are a opossums main diet

[@kerielmore823]

Dang! That back patio just keeps going n going! 😮 Starting to think is not yard, just a huge patio! Maybe they didn t want grass? 🤔

[@janababuljakova2534]

Je úžasné s jakou vervou pracuješ. Tvá práce mě pokaždé fascinuje! Děkuji za tenhle zážitek!! 💯🏆👍👏🌿

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

My pleasure, thank you.

[@Letitgrow2707]

For leaving the possums in peace - a new subscriber here. Awesome job 😀

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Welcome aboard 😀

[@NacibaOukil]

Very good work as usual... You are more and more the specialist in stone terraces... I hope that the sheet metal and the rest will no longer be there during the rest of the work, word of a lady 69 years old very manic... 😊

[@mollysheridan7134]

Amazing!

[@TheAfezio]

that is a massive patio "system"...

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Incredible isn't it!

[@pennyneal2456]

Evidently, to grow grass in this yard, one must build a patio as the base. 😢🙀 lol

[@joycearmstrong8628]

ha ha

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Haha seems to be 😅

[@unamurtagh389]

great work

[@JohnMichael-py3im]

Excellent job

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Thank you 😊

[@darleneclarke4001]

A very tiring job great work

[@alicetatum6049]

Good job

[@travellerwoods]

have some pavers is all I can say, wonder what it would look like after being done with a preasuss washer? that would just make it I think and stuff in garden bed coming up to Christmas would give a great outdoor space to have chritams lunch , garden solar lights many tikey tourch to mozzie repellent in them outdoor table and bingop lovely place, I hope they take advantage of that space after all your work

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Should be all done in a few weeks time 😄

[@nancyvargas3689]

excellent

[@paulwiersum8187]

Greatings from The Netherlands. I have seen a lot lawn care videos, but this one is realy amazing. Where are the patios? After your great effort they are there again. One at the time. Big respect for what you have done for the owner. The transformation must be rewarded with a medaille. Stay save and have a nice day. Regards, Paul

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Thanks Paul, appreciate your support.

[@kerielmore823]

So many hidden items buried in that tall grass n under the ivy! 😮

[@ThePrettyGrit]

Fully expecting a snake to be under that fencing haha

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

I was very cautious for sure.

[@cherylzarns9931]

Maybe use cans for collecting the garden waste like George does. Then there's no time lost fighting the fold overs to gain entry. I would be so frustrated with the floppy bags. Love your work, though, and guess your system works for you!

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

I definitely need to get myself one/a few of those.

[@artiejohnson703]

This is crazy,did they brick the whole back yard??? Great Job ❤

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Close to it!

[@TheTlangdon]

✨🏆✨

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

🏆

[@marionryan582]

❤

[@nancyvargas3689]

this dirt that you pulled away will provide nutrients around the garden

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Absolutely

[@kerielmore823]

Why not use chainsaw after pole saw n cut stumps down to ground level right then n there? Would allow for easier future mowing n be less of a tripping hazard n look less unsighly the stumps remaining.

[@mariadasgracasribeiro5739]

E tudo tijolos coberto de mato e areia e muito mais difícil ❤

[@janinea333]

Hi Ryan, do you get many snakes down there in yards?

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

I have only come across one once in my 5 years of this job. They are definitely around though.

[@graceyoungbeck1055]

May be you prefer to clear one session with the camera set and do another. Anyway this is a lot of clearing up for this one.

[@anncalley1308]

No gloves!? That’s brave.

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

I'm a brave man 😅

[@kerielmore823]

Lots of patio mundane repeat work for you n bet it feels neverending. 😕 Maybe switching up tasks like volunteer tree removal or weedeating or edging or pruning of other trees in thag area would help. Just an idea...🙂

[@graceyoungbeck1055]

It is great job you do but your filming is like stop start n this and that tends to break up to different task too much. Just a suggestions. I understand you would like it to be more versatile but people do enjoy weeding killer through the yard and the edging. Giving it some time for each task.

[@KAREN-eu9bk]

What a mess! You sure should be exhausted! Just unbelievable.

[@carolineschulze344]

Weren't you worried about snakes?

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Under the sheet metal yes I was a bit cautious.

[@JohnMichael-py3im]

Where are your gloves at.

[@timbow50]

Long ago I owned some rental homes and part of the written lease was the yard fences etc were to be maintained. I evicted more than one for not being responsible. Sold the properties because 9 of 10 renters were the most lazy sorry low life’s ever. They just don’t care because it’s not their place. Disgusting!

[@holyweenveronica1791]

Leave the ground there! It is reach and it makes nonsense to throw it away!

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

I put a lot of it back into the gardens.

[@carolineschulze344]

Where's the garden? It's all patio.

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

There's more garden to the other side of the yard.

[@Wickgirl65]

This is what will happen to the planet when all humans are gone!

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Yep, and it won't take long!

[@kerielmore823]

Maybe gloves needed. Hate for you to get into ants or thorns. 😮

[@Caleo_patra1]

First you are amazing, but you need a assistant to much for you,

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

It's hard to find workers that are #1 always available when needed and #2 are up to the standard I look for.

[@monahooker9896]

You could have used some major help on this yard.

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Definitely!

[@Dean734]

Knee deep in the jungle know the outcome will be awesome 👍

[@patsyjohnston4526]

Where is your gloves?

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

I believe later in this series I begin wearing them 😊

[@lindamccaughey6669]

That is a whole lot work. You doing really well. Great job. Please take care

[@drusabs]

Don't forget to 👍👍👍

[@laurawilson6389]

Well done. I can appreciate the value of your work. It will look stunning hen finished.

[@michelleparish7313]

I'm glad you posted this one. As I was watching the latest one on this place I was thinking about how close to done it is and having a hard time remembering just how bad it was in the beginning. I did remember how shocked I was to see just how much of what I assumed was going to be overgrown grass in need of a mow turned out to be hiding even more of that beautiful brickwork! Thanks for the memories! 😅

[@inasteyn2744]

I cant think that people can get a place so overgrown, it is terrible, and sad. Job well done😊

[@NCRRanger7753]

Kikuyu has to be the strongest and toughest grass on the planet.

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Agreed!

[@juliegeary8723]

You can have silence whenever you want, just don’t stop filming ❤

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

I won't! 😄

[@ayeealbores4629]

👍👍

[@joycearmstrong8628]

I wonder what happened to the owners of this garden. With all that paving all it needed was a sweep and a hose down occassionally to keep it tidy.

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Severe back injury/depression to one and the other is legally blind 😔

[@joycearmstrong8628]

Your work must have been a real uplifting blessing. Thank you@@earthtrimgardens2249

[@malindabell4823]

Hi

[@earthtrimgardens2249]

Hello 😊

[@kerielmore823]

This yard was way overgrown in so many ways n you hung in there a year to completely clear it out n clean it up while working a full time job. You are a perservering person! 👍Looks great my friend. 👍

[@liliamrabelolemos9949]

Excellent job 🙌❤👏👏👏

[@kerielmore823]

Back patio looks super n pretty spacious too. I like that reddieh brick.

[@florencecurrie7861]

Massive cleanup!!

[@beckylavine5486]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@avacadman2155]

Like the story “The Hidden Garden” run down, overgrown until….revealing it lost beauty. 👍👍👍💗💗

[@Helen-l3i]

What a massive undertaking to clean this yard! The ivy is such a terrible invasive plant. Yes a good hard clean of all the tree suckers is giving the trees more definition, very slow going but a great job!
