I live in the UK. There has been a recent story - the council have neglected to upkeep the public areas just like this. Locals got together to clean up their city. The council threatened to sue them because they said it was vandalism. The group leader was taking the rubbish home and adding it to her household rubbish. She was told she couldn't dispose of other people's rubbish without a licence and that she would be arrested if she continued to do so. You, and everyone like you, make such a huge difference. You do exactly what should be done by councils.

In most cities, the sidewalk is the owners responsibility - whomever owns this lot should have done this - or paid for it to be done. Though it might be different in his city. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Wolvenworks]

@@jimtalbott9535huh…amusing. In Jakarta, anything past the fence (including the sidewalk) is govt or complex property, so sidewalks are not your responsibility at all. In fact, there are cases where the govvy just reworks it in their own (not necessarily better) way (like replacing a 45 degree entry ramp with a 90 degree entry ramp because they can’t be fucked to keep the old entry ramp in the name of cost cuts for more baksheesh)

[@jacqueresch6534]

True. I started cleaning a small 3 block area next to my neighborhood last Fall. It was full of lots of trash and broken glass. It took me a long time to get it really looking good and now I go over there a couple of times a week to make sure it doesn't go back to the horrible state it was in. I even bought the block a 32 gallon rubber garbage can with a lid and bags to change out the full can periodically. I'm proud of how it looks now and a few neighbors have thanked me for my hard work. There r some who do keep their property nice, but there r a lot of large apartment buildings on these blocks with very little on-site maintenance or janitors to keep it clean. So many people don't take ownership and don't even seem to notice or care. I find that disheartening.

[@CaptchaNeon]

Why would they? I’m sure every bottle was alcohol and if you’re drinking that while walking, it’s doubtful you’re a taxpaying citizen of the community. The city showed them how to treat the property, they don’t deserve the blame, the city does.

[@jeeptrucklover72]

Yeah, that city’s mayor should be arrested and thrown in jail. He/she should be ashamed that their own street department isn’t doing their jobs.

[@sintanan469]

In most places of the US, the landowner is responsible for maintaining the lot, including the curtilage of the road (that area of grass between the fence and sidewalk, and sidewalk and road). The city is responsible for the sidewalk itself. If this is a private lot, the owner is the one to maintain the curtilage. If the lot is for sale, the bank or real estate agency is the one to maintain the curtilage. If it is public land (a park for example), the city is the one to maintain the curtilage.

I guess since there were no vines, there had to be a root. That was one epic root battle! You won! Great job as always, Sean. Bless you for all you do.

[@Katheverett]

And at least there were no dirty diapers - sad when that’s the best you can say!

[@mariefremlin7536]

What a bunch of lovely people living in that neighborhood. Bless them for stopping and saying something nice. The words "Thank you" feels so good and goes a long way in life. The lady in orange was the cutest. You are so loved for the great work you do. ❤❤

[@kaydavis6943]

Sean, initially I couldn’t imagine how you’d ever get this sidewalk usable. What you’ve done here is miraculous! Thank you for caring so much!

[@johnnatoran4036]

The people that stopped to acknowledge what you do brought a smile to my face. God will definitely put you in the right places and spaces to bring glory to him. May God continue to bless you. Love you and your channel bunches❤🙏🏾

[@marshagoodwin5830]

Love God! Love your neighbors! Wonderful cleanups you do! God bless you and all the work you do!

[@medicbabe2ID]

Staghorn Sumac is beautiful and lush, but where it doesn't belong, it quickly overwhelms. What strong work on a towering job. This is why you're loved. ❤

[@pnketia]

Wow! What a transformation. It's crazy to think that as a kid growing up in Seattle the city workers would come out and trim any overgrowth that covered or blocked the sidewalk and this was before HOA's existed! My how times have changed where the city no longer does this as a safety precaution to pedestrians!

[@mudderman8620]

All those people used that sidewalk and watched you clean it up. None lifted one finger to help. They live there and they ignored it. Shame on them. Job well done man. 😢😢😮😢😮😢😊

[@rudigerhasselmann3601]

Welch eine Wandlung. Vom Urwald zu einem gut nutzbaren Gehweg. Und dann die Dankbarkeit der Ortsansässigen. KLasse Arbeit und viel Lob. What a transformation. From a primeval forest to a usable footpath. And then the gratitude of the locals. Great work and lots of praise.

Congratulations 🎉 on passing the quarter if a million subscribers Sean, you deserve it 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jimtalbott9535]

I noticed him at about 50,000 - seems like a week later he was at 200,000!! Holy schniekes!!

[@marycook1644]

A Utube channel that cleans people’s homes recommended Sean’s channel. I had read about it in the comments before. I don’t remember the name of the cleaning channel.

[@fieryvale]

@@marycook1644 Midwest Magic Cleaning, probably.

[@marycook1644]

@@fieryvale You are correct !! I was just watching another video of his and they said that is how they found this channel ! 🖼️

[@Jacy320]

The bottles make me think that someone, probably nearby, has a drinking problem, and thinks they're hiding it by dumping their empties somewhere other than their trash can. All that crazy overgrowth was a perfect spot to hide them.

[@JohnShalamskas]

Teenagers

[@miriamvegagonzalez3058]

Yes, I think the same.. that was for years 😆

[@KarenDoty-rh1im]

I agree

[@kathyhollett407]

Not anymore!! Thanks, Sean!

[@kylehayes6432]

When I was a teen I probably would've hid in there with my friends to drink and smoke. That's probably why there are so many empties.

[@pyro323]

It went from Jumanji to a Jewel! Great job Sean!

[@TheNanetta67]

Sean I love watching you. You always go above and beyond when working on a yard. You are truly an amazing person. Many blessings to you.

[@MidlifeStockman]

Thanks for the love. Super appreciate that.

[@JoanBLANKENSHIP-fb6cq]

People see you as a man with a Godly heart!

[@myrnaroberts4636]

Oh no! Council mustn't neglect their job. Thank goodness for this kind hearted man. Thank you

[@tnolan3176]

I think you just took away the neighborhood drinking spot ,by the looks of all the empty liquor bottles !!! Good work !

[@indianaslim4971]

Nah, they were drive-bys throwing their bottles in the woods!

[@beverly1954]

I let out a loud cheer when you got that root out!🤣 Enjoy your videos. My husband passed in 2022 at 72 yrs old and he was so much like you when he was younger. For 45 years I watched him tackle properties, roots, vines, thorns, fences and numerous stingy things! 🙂

[@oceana9294]

Thank you for helping the neighborhoods stay walkable. It didn't surprise me that you cleaned up clear to the end of the block and around the corner. Your work ethic is so strong that you couldn't just walk away at the end of that sidewalk since it carried around - and those drains are so important if there is a heavy rainfall.

[@andreakypta9768]

Hi Sean, you are one of the most tenacious and meticulous lawn man on UTube. When that sweet lady hugged you not only are you a true gentleman but quite loveable. Take care and thank you for your outstanding videos.

[@joseedumont3231]

That lady in the yellow dress is SO SO right, bless her heart! and yours 🤭

[@MidlifeStockman]

She was great. So kind!! Thanks for always supporting me.

[@DanielBarrett-og7sv]

If that sidewalk was a person I would say it looks human again I wish more people like you cared simply out of the goodness of your heart

[@richardzeiders5496]

Perhaps this example of determination will inspire the locals to band together & clean up other blighted sites around the neighborhood & create a stronger sense of community. Nothing like talent, tools, & hard work.

[@leisasmith4983]

Sean, you are absolutely amazing!! The community is really starting to view you as their hero. You are changing the lives of the people that live around your projects every time you take on one of these jobs. Can you imagine how nice that seems for the neighborhood? I think someone had a serious drinking problem and was using the hidden spot in that jungle as a place to indulge and then just discarded the bottles on the ground.

[@MazikeenMS]

Spectacular transformation, Sean! The cleanup alone is such a wonderful gift, but the inspiration you provide cannot be appreciated enough. Like a ripple may become a wave as it spreads, your truly selfless example will no doubt spark ever-growing fires of good will, and hopefully, wider spread recognition that the giving is just as gratifying as the gift, if not more so. Thank you for all that you do! ❤️

[@MidlifeStockman]

What a beautiful comment. Thank you so much!!

[@christeenhinton5336]

WOW!!! That root was determined to stay. That was like pulling the sword from the stone.

[@josuelugo4506]

I say that we take it to the next level and pressure wash and repair the cracks. I'll love to donate to that too 🙏

[@MidlifeStockman]

Soon enough! Big plans for the channel!

[@jeremysbarton]

Too funny!! People are so appreciative of the work you do and that sidewalk must've been an eye sore for a LONG time!!

[@cmg6848]

It's a good job you clear these areas like you do, someone could of got seriously hurt with all the hidden glass.

[@JillieSkidmore-iw9vv]

Why don’t the neighbours come out and help you ? You do a superb job and a wonderful attitude 🎉

[@martharetallick204]

I pick up trash in my neighborhood and no one ever helps. Ever.

[@tnolan3176]

It will be overgrown again in another year or so unless folks step up to keep it passable !

[@indianaslim4971]

The reasons are many and various, people are busy with things they need to do, especially on weekends when is when Sean does these videos, also, after 30-40 years of the news outlets emphasizing the crimes committed in society I think people are generally more afraid to participate in society, they hunker down inside their homes and associate with friends and family, avoiding strangers
