Please HELP the children cant play in the garden | Christmas gift of huge FREE yard clear up

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

This one was epic, you should be proud. Well done, Mike!

[@mggardens01]

Thanks Sean appreciate that brother.

[@mggardens01]

Do remember guys not to be too quick to judge people who are in different situations to yourself. It's very easy to say they should have got rid of the rubbish then selves, but it's not as easy as that. It can be very overwhelming when something gets so far beyond what you can cope with. Not to mention the ever increasing cost of waste disposal. They did in fact save up what they could afford and have as much as they could taken away before I got to it. I told them to leave the rest and I would take it away to save them paying out more. We have a full time mum of two young kids and a father who spends his time working as a career for people with special needs, who moved into a house with a garden already left in a state beyond what they could manage. We all need help sometimes. Be kind.

[@robertshrewsbury5067]

You made a good point. Good people moved into a place already with major layered problems. They did their best to try to work towards progress. Thank you very much for bringing this up to usable and manageable with a Restart. That took a lot of skill, persistence and work. It looks like a good family yard now and your work will be pleasing as well to the eyesight of those overlooking the area.

[@park-ur9sk]

@mggardens01 Well said. None of us know whether we may be in a similar position in the future.

[@inshellskitchen1743]

Brilliant I'm so pleased the children have a safe place to play x

[@cathycompton9910]

Well said

[@donnahilton8924]

Also, renters usually don't have access to the kinds of tools needed to do this work in any reasonable way.

[@hazelem1266]

I was a single mum of three and a nurse working 60 hours a week to keep our home and heads above water. It took me two days a fortnight to cut the grass. My 10 year old son mowed one row and I mowed two. It was depressing to see how quickly grass grew. My daughter kept an eye on the 4 year old and we all kept the yard tidy. To me, keeping your environment clean and safe was important. Today, I am 67 years old and my children are educated and self sufficient and keeping up with the values they were taught.

[@memealine7185]

Why should you care? He said in the first comment, don’t be quick to judge people who are in different situations to yourself. Some people don’t know how to follow directions. Lol 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@donnac.3268]

That was ALLOT of work. Well Done!

[@mggardens01]

Appreciated

[@k.Newbbie]

The council should have taken the previous tenants garbage, not asking them to maintain, but give them somewhere to start!! 😢😢 Fantastic work 👏🏽 👌🏽 would like to know how many bags you took away 🫣🫣🫣

[@RobinJones-ow9oz]

You did a great job and I'm not trying to be rude anybody can pick up paper and straighten up if you trying to be nice enough to do something for you I don't understand the concept of that what people don't understand you still can help I've watched the videos and I see other people out helping and all of that and they got them kids could have picked that up thank you for doing that and caring about somebody because evidently they don't.

[@normamurdock3581]

That pile of dirt! Admirable

[@rosemarydennis3586]

You deserve a medal. Not saying another word which is a miracle. Thanks for video Mary Wakefield 😅

[@ncfriend5233]

Very few people would have been willing to put forth the amount of work required to clean that garden, especially the pile of dirt and bricks. That is back breaking work. You did a wonderful job.

[@maryfox1460]

I do hope the rent payment reflects the state of that yard/garden. I have to wonder about the inside since the back was so neglected. Thanks for your compassion.

[@trudythompson8243]

The previous owner should have taken care of this. Horrible mess to move into.

[@SandraVanLankvelt]

First of all I think you were one BRAVE MAN to take on that nightmarish project. I have watched many sites through the years but SIR you deserve an award for cleaning this project. Kudo's to you and it turned out beautiful. MERRY CHRISTMAS and GOD is Blessing you and I bet GOD is even smiling too. LOL

[@oliviarodrigoplaylist4077]

Job well done! Just maybe, if mom and her partner would at the very least pick up the trash the children would have a garden to play in. That is if they are not disabled. Again a great job!!

[@traciebostwick2507]

Great job! I hope Santa brought you a longer-handled flat shovel!

[@sandorhlywka9227]

Congratulations, you solved the chaos nicely! My other opinions are not public...

[@ingrid153]

What a painful looking job. Wow, looks great

[@lynnew5619]

Gardening help is expensive and out of the price range for a lot of people. They just need to have a strategy to keep it under control. For example, get the kids to help. Tell them they’ll get, say, a jelly baby for every piece of rubbish they put in the bin. Rubbish in a pile looks better than strewn about the garden. Again offer a reward for every bit they move into a neat pile. It’s a good lesson for the future too. Hard work = reward.

[@mikeomalley5407]

Great transformation. P.S. I’ve been watching UK and Australian lawn maintenance KZbinrs who refer to the “council”. From what I read, the term “council” is a generic term used to refer to a local government, whereas in the US we use a specific terms of City, County, Town or Village when referring to local governments. Instead of saying Council housing we’d say City or County housing. If we are speaking generically…we’d say “Public housing”. I’ve enjoyed finding out what US word is used in UK or Australia to describe the same thing. 90% of our words are the same. Probably because we’re all speaking English 😂.

[@gloriamoline678]

Wonderful job. Other comments withheld

[@avrilpeters5900]

What you did there is very clever with the rocks you found

[@pennyneal2456]

Good idea with flowerbed and rocks. What a mess. Good job.

[@rosekathrein1119]

Don’t parents teach their children to pick up after themselves anymore. If the play with something, it has to be picked up when they are fished playing with It would save a lot of their problems and the children learn as well

[@JMarieCAlove]

He said in his above comment. Don’t be too quick to judge who are in different situations to yourself. In other words, look in your own mirror before judging these parents. And you’re not in their life to understand. You were quick to judge and criticize the parents and the children, it’s not your place. You don’t know what they’re going through, so just appreciate him for wanting to help this family, that’s all that matters and he did a wonderful and great job. 😁

[@kat8canary77]

I sit here in my near hoarder level home and I know what overwhelming means. When you started I thought of the old joke, How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. This was a huge clean up, one foot at a time.

[@Morse-t5z]

What an overgrown mess! So kind of you to clean it up! Enjoy the Christmas season.

[@ollie9619]

Not sure if from UK. I live in Australia, houses look English. What a whopper of a clearance, listening to you I am now sure you are English. Yes understand council houses, lived in them in UK. here we call them commission houses. Public housing would be a better term. That was a completely messed up space, thank you for putting in the time and energy to make a safe garden for the children. God Bless you and yours, have a blessed Christmas and a prosperous New Year, from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤😊😊

[@mggardens01]

Hi yes I'm from England. Thanks for watching merry Christmas to you.

[@liliamrabelolemos9949]

Excellent job 🙌❤👏👏👏

[@MarnieSablan]

Hard for me to fathom how people can leave trash and debris in their yards like that. Bless you for your hard work and perseverance in transforming that yard. 👏🏻👏🏻 Hopefully they’ll maintain it from now on. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@miriamrighter1666]

The previous renters had left that mess. He stated so in the middle section. Don't be so quick to judge other people.

[@leecarey4375]

​@@miriamrighter1666It's human nature to judge. Marnie just voiced her opinion which is perfectly acceptable. Her opinion does not have to be the same as yours. Seems to me you just judged Marnie.

[@conniemaniaci3612]

Two days of work and the garden looks amazing. In the true Christmas spirit, you are a wonderful person to help. What a gift. Hopefully the renters will keep it looking good. Thank you. 😊

[@mardiwilcox2922]

Did a great job cleaning it up. I hope the owners get with the program and get rid of all the stuff that was piled up!

[@mggardens01]

I took all of the stuff away.

[@jenniferlashley2081]

Wow! Just...wow! That was a Herculean task and you did a great job. I'm sure the parents and the children are over-the-moon happy to have their yard so accessible now. Merry Christmas!

[@darren25061965]

What an amazing difference you have made, superb effort. Now the tenant has something that they will be able to manage and improve upon. I once moved into a property with a garden just like that, MUCH worse in fact, and it truly does feel overwhelming. Fortunately I loved gardening and enjoyed the challenge. I was also fortunate in that I was able to pursuade the local council to cover the cost of skips, 4 were needed.

[@brendalonergan5111]

I cannot believe the mess that was on that property! You did a magnificent job🎉 Merry Christmas🌲

[@kerielmore823]

Understand family needed help with the lawncare, but least they could ve done was to pick up the toys n trash from the yard n put it in its place.

[@hazelbrown3695]

I think these people that have moved in could of at least moved some of the rubbish up and put it along the side for you this is hard work for you but great work sir 😊

[@blainerudy2255]

Having laid pavers for a sidewalk in my back yard and in front of the house,I know how much time and energy it took to place all those pavers around that yard(garden). Great job finding and uncovering all those areas.That'll save lawn cut time in half.

[@sheilarowan8664]

OK they can't do the garden but they keep the place free of all that rubbish .DOING A FANTASTIC JOB ❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@Oceans11.11]

You are such a hard worker. I wouldn’t be able to move after that kind of work. Incredible job! I bet they are so happy! 😀

[@moonpie7532]

What a terrific job!! A great space for the kids and the adults now. A special thank you for being brave and tackling that rock, brick and dirt pile! It looks as if you took away all the trash at the end too. Trash is such a problem for so many people today and makes makeovers like this twice as hard. Well done!! 😊👍👍

Wonder how long it will stay nice.

[@daleflawith4225]

Lol multi tasking at its best

[@genwhite1175]

Hi Mike, first time watching your channel. You did a tremendous job of tidying up that absolutely tip of a yard. I almost shed tears when you said the kids were so delighted after the first day that they played out in their backyard for over an hour after school even though it was very cold. I think kids love cleanliness and tidiness - I've seen it many times. Since it's a youngish couple renting this place, I don't understand why they couldn't have made a start by at least picking up the rubbish and starting to put those bags out for collection. It was inspired of you to make a flower bed by the fence with those rocks. Let's hope they plant something nice in the Spring. Gosh, it looked so shady and damp; I really hope there are some sunny days ahead to dry it up. I'm watching from New Zealand where of course it is early summer. We get plenty of rain too, but it's been gloriously sunny lately. Have a very Merry Christmas and thank you for the beautiful gift of space, tidyness and inspiration you gave this family.

[@Vistasabia]

This turned out to be a really cool space, and I couldn’t believe how the patio snuck up on you wow 😂. A nice surprise and the children will always remember this wonderful garden. Awesome beautiful intent you put out into the universe 🙌🙌🙌💯💯💯💚💚💚. Merry Christmas!

I always love to see secret paving come up from nowhere. You did an absolutely awesome job on this garden. It's like night and day before and after. The owners must be thrilled to bits and so grateful for your kindness in helping them restore the garden for their children. Well done indeed 👏👏

[@lorettalouvros207]

A lot of these properties are handed over in this shape for the new tenants. If the yard looks like this I can only imagine what the inside looked like as well. No judgement to the current tenant at all. For that matter who’s to say that the tenants weren’t disabled in some way or battling mental illness? It’s a sad fact that these properties are not taken care of by the organizations in charge of leasing them

[@dominion1999]

It’s very difficult to work in a wet garden. You did an amazing job.

Oh, my goodness, what a mess. You are a hero. You worked so hard to make it nice for the family. I'm sure they appreciate it and you. It was so cold; I could see your breath on occasion, and I could feel you as you tackled that last pile of stuff and dirt. But you hung in there all the way. God Bless you and Merry Christmas. I'll meet you on your next project.

[@dochubbell]

Oh man what a job that was! The end result is wonderful for the kids. The fact you disposed of that mound of soil to expose more hard surface and the access and a usable gate is far and away beyond anyone's expectations. I sure hope the family is stoked to get rid of excess junk and toys you cleared out of that yard. Noticed what looked like an electric lawn mower. Must not work = get rid of it or fix it. I think that you went further than many would have done on a free job. Bravo!

[@jeb3415]

Agree on that mound of soil… lol. I was like, will he? Won’t he? Then I was like Dear Lord please don’t let someone’s pet be buried there… 😂 wonder if they had a council inspection coming up, I know we aren’t to judge but it is also my sincere hope they keep up the yard-maybe realizing how much energy a kid can wear off while outside playing will also be an inspiration!

[@Murphycats]

That was a mammoth undertaking!! I would have thought it would've taken a large machine to claw all that away. I hope the kids like it!!!!

[@heidijohnson6954]

What a back breaking job! You did great, it looks 100 times better. At least the kids can play and be safe now, all thanks to you! Merry Christmas to you and your family as well! 🎄❤️
