You know how there's a carbon crisis and a massive drought and alarming levels of global warming? You know what we use most of our water on? Lawns. You know what happens when you clear all the deep root shade bushes and weeds so a lawn can look nice? The soil can't hold as much water, and the microbes in the soil that would otherwise be handling all the bio waste, they die out and stop turning that waste into carbon in the ground. You're part of the problem homie. Life is carbon. You are chopping up carbon nuggets and letting them gas off in the atmosphere, by the ton if business is booming. What is supposed to happen is all that biowaste should be consumed by animals, sht on the ground, and then consumed by worms, sht in the ground, and then consumed by bacteria and fungus, and then when they die, their corpses are pushed down, so all the carbon stays in the ground. And bonus that same system holds water like moss. But not if you kill all the bushes, and weeds, to expose a clean cut lawn. Then the lawn with it's shallow roots and no shade, it need constant watering to stay green. HOA's are criminal organizations destroying the future of all humanity for the sake of visual conformity. And if you actually cared for your property, or your own life, and that of all children yet to be born, you might change careers and start encouraging permaculture and wild ecosystem development. Instead of helping idiots continue to destroy the planet to meet delusional standards their war torn and lead poisoned grandparents programmed into their brains. Nobody taught you this. It's not your fault. But now you know. Learn how to turn what you do into a solution. And don't take my word for it. Just google the carbon cycle, and water saving methods of land management. You can make even more money and start being a solution instead of the problem. You just need to learn how to create a healthy ecosystem that looks pretty and incorporate that into your landscaping and business model. Life is a carbon battery. You have the skills to be charging it up. You just need to change your perspective a little bit. Your customers will go out of their way and come out their wallets to thank you. Also I double dog mfkn dare you. Have a good one homie.

Ok, well let me be extremely respectful: I LOVE that there are great, kind, and compassionate people out there, but I am also aware that many, MANY will take advantage of kindness. Ok, my point: this family, owner whatever - obviously can afford to pay utilities and taxes - food and so forth, so why can't they HIRE a lawn maintenance company or hire a neighbor, or buy a lawn mower and take care of the grass (and area) themselves? Why? This property did not become, the mess that it is, overnight: this mess has occurred over time. Turf Ninjas are good people, perhaps great people, but they may be being abused and used. I'm sorry if I offend anyone; that's not my intent: my intent is simple - Turf Ninjas should be COMPENSATED for what they did. Turf Ninjas deserve a huge thumbs up - but they also deserve to be fully, and appropriately compensated. From my perspective, these, this homeowner (whatever) needs to step up, get the cash-out and COMPENSATE Turf Ninjas. If these people won't do what is right, then the neighbors should work together and anti up to pay Turf Ninjas. I hate, despise USERS! Users are everywhere, in every facet of life - good-for-nothing lice. Great job Turf Ninjas!!

HOAs are run by tinpot Mussolinis. Power mad, they probably were Hall Monitors in their schooldays.

If God did not intend for them to be sheared, He would not have made them sheep.

[@jarvindriftwood]

Yeah some HOAs start fining the person over stuff like this. When the fines are so much they can take a lien on the house and foreclose it. And often someone on the HOA board or their family is a real estate agent. Guess it's a good racket to run if they have no morals and want to feel like they're back in high school bullying people.

What an HOA should be is a group of people who live in a community and look after each other. NOT an enforcement organization. If you see that someone's yard is looking neglected, don't jump them with a fine. Check to see if they are sick, injured, lost a spouse, suffering from depression and so on . Then help them if they need help, form a group within the HOA to help them out. Many hands make quick work. This way the neighborhood looks nice and the area is peaceful and friendly. We all need a little help sometime. Be kind to one another, you may be the next one to need help. TNLC - thank you. The world needs more people like you! ❤

You just do your best and the neighbors can kiss it! Client needed help after her husband died. You d think neighbors either help her or help her find a yardman.

[@LJ542]

What.a.transformation!! You're so kind to do all that work!

[@nightdweller6446]

Not sure what could be more "communist " than living and paying to live in a petty despotic gulag where tyranny dictates your lawn height and house colour. Nice job helping this poor widowed lady out in her time of need. Lemons to her "neighbourhood "

[@kimtalley8190]

You did a beautiful job and then the universe helped with some rain to give that lawn some water. Bless you and thank you for helping this lady. I hate an HOA I think they should be banned

[@d.c.barker]

I would never live/own a home in a neighborhood with an HOA...they have too many rules, fines, and way too many Karens.

[@jeancarver6599]

I love your work!!!! You are so conscientious to take care of any issues!!!!! If that HOA person threatens you again, tell them you would be glad to cut whatever the HOA will pay for.

[@billrobbins5874]

Looking very nice. Will be waiting for Part II. You are kind to help this woman. HOA probably never sent her a sympathy card. First notice was a violation. ♥️👍👍♥️

[@louisehardt1313]

In what way did you get threatened ? Please explain! And who would have the nerve to do so? Texas wants to know!🥸

[@nancyrutledge8923]

WHY DOES IT MATTER OF WHO CUTS THE LAWN??? Apparently some have too much time to complain and

[@nancyrutledge8923]

TOO little to help a neighbor.

[@nancyrutledge8923]

I'd be interested in finding the complainer and shaming them publicly for their action. IT WAS DISGRACEFUL!!!

[@gsdtravels6457]

This was a massive undertaking, I can't believe you did it all for free. ❤️

[@999Giustina]

I don't understand why the HOA would harass someone who is tidying a yard. I understand they may harass someone to tidy the yard, but once it is being fixed I would think the problem is solved.

[@sherrydee7880]

It's a sad fact that so many of these HOA's put profit over people. Good HOA's take care of the parking strip next to the road. This way, the neighborhood looks good, even in times where the actual yard isn't moved! Pat yourself on the back for being the good guy on this one. You helped a person who needed and deserved it. 😍😍🤩🤩🥰😘

[@franktuckwell196]

I used to work as a foreman gardener for an HOA over here in England.One of their board members used to open her front door and an overweight dog on expanding leash would wobble out, then crap on the lawn i was cutting and go back in, then the front door would close. I once, on seeing this, sneaked over and gently trowelled the dogshit back onto the front doorstep and hid behind the bushes on the other side of the lawn. Not long afterwards, out come Mrs. Pain-in-the-neck, only to step on said gift. She screamed, flew back indoors and i could hear shouting from where i was laughing, trying not to pis myself. However it did have the desired effect as the dog never crapped on that lawn again. We had been known to refuse to cut lawns due to the amount of dogshit on them. I know of two people who went blind in one eye due to Toxicara Cannii, a bug carried in dogs mess, which causes blindness in humans. HOAs generally are run by power crazy people who were mollycoddled or spoilt as kids and are probably anally retentative. This happened in the late 1970s.

[@cheryl8280]

-Frank Tuckwell Excellent move, sir! I've done that in my non-HOA neighbourhood. The dogs poop on my front yard so I return it to the owners, right on their doorstep. Hugs from Canada!!

[@mikesmith4337]

That's sad. I hope the lady is able to take care of her lawn and pray things get better for her. It was a very kind thing for you to do. Good job dude.

[@TurfNinjasLawnCare]

Hello friends! Please consider Subbing if you like this sort of content! I have plenty of overgrown yards scheduled for clean up and I don't want you to miss them! Also thank you for taking the time to comment I really enjoy reading them when I get off work!

[@evelieneckenbach2458]

what a special mower and it also mows nicely

[@johntruesdale387]

When people lack empathy, when they judge other's, it only proves who they really are. Keep doing the good thing's, never let other's change what is in your heart. I'm 56, a Veteran, first time grandpa ( 2 month's ago, a girl, fraternal twin boy's due, in December) my younger brother and I are caregivers of our mother. I've been told to walk away and live my own life. I refuse. Your a good man, because of this video I'm subscribing.

[@SirCoolJerk1030]

I subscribed! You did a great thing here helping the widow! Nice work too.. I'm looking forward to more videos

[@Alphaphotographer]

This was a tremendous amt. of work. Looks great. You're awesome.

[@jupitercyclops6521]

We all know how those lonely widows pay, but sure.....you're doing it because you're a good guy (wink/ wink)

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

That was an awesome thing to do for the widow to get the HOA off her back. Hopefully she will pay you to keep her yard up from now on. The texts were uncalled for. I think it's sad that the neighbors would complain rather than lend a hand and help her through this tough time. Thanks!!

[@garulusglandarius6126]

Excellent job 👍 the world needs more people like you with a heart ! HOA’s are cash cows run by narcissistic, entitled , nosey , heartless busy bodies ( we have similar here in Britain but they’re called management companies, they’re parasites ) Those neighbours and the HOA should be ashamed of themselves for picking on a recently widowed lady instead of helping her ! Thank you for being a decent human being and I hope the lady is doing well. Respect and best wishes from Britain 🇬🇧🇺🇸( subscribed )

[@monicasisson9525]

Loved that he cared , love that he gets into detailing work best of all , please send me part 2 would like to see it .Awesome job!!! { HOA come on you should have payed for this job } wish he would do our lawn job , I'm in California .

[@neiliabaxter3721]

Finally, I found a man with a heart that is not just making videos for the sake of a few dollars.....keep up the good work, Turf Ninja!!

[@coralscraftslady]

The ones complaining, should of been a good NEIGHBOR, and done it themselves! People are nuts anymore! Thank you, for helping someone that is probably dealing with severe depression, at the loss of their husband, and unable to cope! It looks beautiful!

[@heathertrombley7045]

Great work! You should send the bill to the neighbor that complained. As if they would work for free. I'm glad that you were able to help this lady but you shouldn't have been bullied into it.

[@robinstewart6510]

If I were the neighbor paying him to cut my lawn, I'd be kind of pissed to learn he was cutting other lawns just like mine for free.

[@ronwhited1224]

Awesome job! I never understood why the neighbors can drive by every day and not stop to ask if they can help. I mean, there is obviously something going on! Looking forward to part 2!

[@cassandraharris8091]

You're awesome with that trimmer. Great job 👍👍👍👍. Maybe the neighbors will stop complaining.

[@moremoney2]

Wow, you just added about $50K value to that property. Great work ethic. Your hard labor and care will be rewarded.

[@carol.luna.stella]

Excellent job, thank you for helping the lady.

[@deionsharpe5139]

GREAT job, EXCEPT, YOU NEED to be SURE in the FUTURE to FINISH the completing the ENTIRE JOB, the majority looks AWESOME, but it's the little things like leaving grass in SEVERAL PLACES along the sidewalk and curb cracks that shows unfinished and TACKY work, NOT being RUDE, just straight up and FAIR MINDED about what people are looking for, I know you did it for FREE, but still, don't you want to leave a HUGE, GOOD IMPRESSION on the WORK that you did, JUST SAYING, think about it, your an AWESOME AMAZING LAWNCARE Guy, rough around the edges, CYA NEXT TIME and OFCOURSE KEEP CUTTIN IT UPPPPP BROTHER 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🚜🚜✌️👍💪🥵🌞🌞😎

[@conniemaniaci3612]

I’m from California. I just happened across this video and decided to stop and watch. I was so impressed with your compassion and work ethic I subscribed. Looking forward to part 2.

[@matthewblack1322]

I help out with a-lot of yards just like this situation you went through. You're good deed will bring you more business in the long run. Looks good. Great job!

[@bitteroldman2714]

No way would I live in an HOA neighborhood. If I had neighbors like ke that is get it totally cleaned up and then let it go to hell again before having it cleaned up again. Yes I'd be that kind of a hole. 🤣😂

[@monsoonBloom]

sadly some states turn almost all neighborhoods into HOA's. Hard pressed to find homes without them in some areas. They're horrible. But then so are bitchy folks that can tattle to HOA's.

[@rosesmith6208]

@@monsoonBloom sounds like a boom for cities and states, they still gt the tax revenue but dont h ave to maintain roads, mow curbs or take complaints about the neighbors yards not being done or water coming over into the neighbors yards stuff like that.

[@jackbeedle2956]

Love this Content and Hopefully NO ONE gives you any grief for what you do for people...New Subscriber (What part of MD are you working?)

[@Kati_k_kuriosz]

Shame on her neighbors. Whether he died just recently or 6+ months ago! NO-ONE gets to say how jong she morns! I can’t believe that not one of her neighbors would step up and try to help. Shame shame shame on them! On the other hand thank you for your graciousness and your gift that you share without asking anything in return.

[@rexgratteaux8655]

Your heart is in the right place brother , keep your nose to the grindstone and keep your good reputation, God bless

[@tonybogle5922]

Well done for your compassion this ladys neighbours would be the first wanting help if something happend to them.You have inspired me to go and see if anyone in my area is struggling with their yards and i will mow and clean it for free,and i love your mower it is so cool.

[@findvoltage]

if the world was full of people like this young man it would be fricken awesome. pay the guy, dont be a cheap ass. even a dollar!

[@v.britton4445]

I hope this channel does well !!

[@hardtech1]

HOA is doing its job. The problem of the HOA trying to find out "what's wrong" is if you don't do that for everyone for every time a notice goes out. You will be rightfully accused of showing preference to people. Actually our lawyers for the HOA do not want the board ever reaching out unless we can make sure we reach out to every person for every little thing. Its the homeowner that needs to go to the HOA and explain the reason of who/what/when/where/why. We also said that at every board meeting that if you have problems/issues please make contact with the board or management company. Document, document, document. Been on a 3 different HOA boards for years, I am human and most of the time I will lets things slide, will let charitable organizations know (if you wish), and will forgive issues provided I know what's going on. But you have to come to me/management (email/phone/letter) in order to know/help from an HOA perspective. Once it goes to the lawyers (months later), or even court I am not in a position to help anymore. Because then you went from fees that have little or not cost to actual hard cost lawyer fees that I cant "forgive". Late notices, fines, and even HOA dues I can delay/clear but lawyer/documentation/court fees are actual hard costs. HOA's board members are not mind readers, and we have had people quit mowing for reasons of "its hot" or "my mower quit and everyone else is too expensive", or "my lawn mower died 9 weeks ago". Just because they quit upkeep doesn't mean anything is wrong. That's why you must go to them (hoa/management) and inform them of something is wrong. It wasn't fun telling my HOA I lost my job and it was either feed my self or pay dues, and well I like to survive. But I did tell them and they allowed me to pay 6 months late with zero fees. (No I had not been a board member before this)

[@ralphl8055]

When our neighbor passed away we gave his wife and her family a John Deere self-propelled motor that was probably a year old you can help people sometimes man come on.

[@janicet2665]

Where is the compassion in this world for widows..Thank you for helping her she probably couldn't pay the HOA fees...heartless

[@Poppi2006]

Looked like a huge corner lot (compared to mine). Lots of edging. Thank you for the volunteer work and paying it forward.

[@robinstewart6510]

Guy, he's profiting from the KZbin videos. He's not doing anything for free.

[@HappyComfort]

Awesome job! That was very kind of you! It’s too bad some hypocritical people 😠🤨 couldn’t come over and see what was wrong for the woman! Then they would have found her husband had died! They also should have got together and with many helping it would have been a light load for everyone and made short work of that yard for her out of human kindness and decency! People are just so uncaring nowadays! You are very kind! Great job Sir! 🥳👍❤️🥇🏆

[@joannepeck7009]

Thanks so much for taking that ivy off the side of her house! The yard looks great! Nice guys like you are hard to come by!

[@MLenninger]

Love your technique. Hypnotic. Dozed off a couple of times. Do you have to show every second of edging? Would a mulching kit and blades make it easier for cleanup? How often do you sharpen the blades? What is it that you like about the stand-up mower vs. riding zero-turn?

[@robertdillon9989]

You’re a good guy ! So satisfying to watch you go !!!!!

[@sallyostling]

HOA'S are very "clique-ee" and you always have the crabby retired dude/dudette with nothing better to do than complain. It's not a loving community environment. More like, who should we pick on this month?

[@nykkiflandiva7963]

These people are totally insane. Continue to do your good deeds young man good Karma is waiting for you. Beautiful work! 🥰

[@littlebrookreader949]

I’ve never seen such a nice house in an affluent neighborhood in that kind of shape. WHAT was going on there? Ridiculous. I was hoping that someone would say something stupid to you. I really need a good laugh. 😂😂😂 The homeowner and the neighborhood - and especially your customer - should thank you and buy you a huge steak-supper at the very least. Excellent!!! 👍👍

[@levisbackyard]

You got it lookin good✂️✂️ looking forward to seeing part 2

[@TurfNinjasLawnCare]

Thank you! Once I have time ill hit it! probably next week!

[@elainethomas9853]

Thank you for helping this lady . I would be ashamed to call myself a neighbor . Good neighbors help each other.

[@cheesegrits196]

I have the same mower, 2016 with 109 hours, love that thing! The landscaper I bought it from made a bolt on mulch plate for the deck. I haven't blown leaves in 2 years. I will try and make a video about it on my channel next time I use it.

[@rondanakamura2655]

May you be blessed for helping out. Too often people complain but don't PHYSICALLY help alleviate the problem.

[@guadalupegonzalez9882]

WOW ! This is my first time in your channel this was super 👍 love ❤️ your edging, trimming mowing and cleaning around trees 🌳 great 😊 job is this in the US or where

[@TurfNinjasLawnCare]

Yes I am in the US! Thank you for watching!

[@kaywoolsey3722]

Unfortunately, all HOA's is these days are enforcement agencies! If they are so concerned about how their neighbor's yard looks, then why aren't asking them if they need help?? But NOOOO, they slap a violation ticket on the person! HOA's are notorious for having the worst of humankind as the person in charge!

[@billdwyer7897]

You did nice work on that 😎👍

[@silencedmatrix2140]

How long does that battery pack last in your edger?

[@TurfNinjasLawnCare]

Not sure how long but I could do this whole house twice on a charge if the edge was maintained. So for any homeowners it will get the job done
