The Homeowner said CLEAN UP and REMOVE Everything!

When this customer's bother unexpectedly passed away, her sister was left with the almighty mess to deal with. And considering she lives in another state, that's when she called me. The brief was to clean up, mow, and remove everything, ready for a house sale. As you can see, this place is well neglected and has a lot of junk laying around. The customer said I could do whatever I needed to do to get the place back into shape. In the end, I decided to take all the useful, but old, stuff up to the tip shop (landfill reuse shop) and donate it all to them. They were pleased, and the customer was happy with the cleanup and result. All up, I spent around 13.5 hours on this job, with 5 trips to the recyclers and landfill (There was a lot of driving and sorting of useful stuff). This is part 2 of 2.

_______________________________________________
FAQ's:
Q: Where are you located?
A: I am from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 🦘.
Q: Do you worry about snakes?
A: I have never even seen a snake in over 5 years on the job.
Q: Which equipment do you use?
A: Mostly STIHL power equipment (battery and petrol) and commercial Honda self-propelled mowers.
Q: How much do the jobs cost?
A: Sorry, I prefer not to talk about costs.
Q: Why don't you use tarps instead of bins?
A: Tarps are too difficult to move through small spaces and lift into the trailer. The same for wheelbarrows, they are only good for unloading the trailer!
Q: Why are the hot water cylinders outside?
A: I would say it's because Australia had a temperate to tropical climate, and therefore it doesn't matter that much if they are outdoors. To me, though, it seems a bit inefficient to have them outside in Tasmania with a temperate climate (coldish for 3 - 4 months per year). But that is industry standard down here 🤷‍♂️
Q: Why don't you have help?
A: I've had many problems with employees in the past, so now I work alone.
Q: Why don't you have a ride-on mower?
A: Well, there are a few reasons.
1. I don't have the right trailer for a ride on, considering I always take away the green waste.
2. I don't have anywhere to store it, as my shed is too small.
3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can't actually get a ride-on on to the properties.
4. I don't do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k AUD on a stander, but it would be nice to have one!
5. I will get one as soon as my transport and storage problems are solved.
Q: What types of ladders do you use?
A: The large one is a Gorilla Adjustable Platform 150kg and the small one is a Gorilla Mighty 19. They are both adjustable.
Q: Who/what is Jim's Mowing?
A: Jim's Mowing is a franchise business. The Jim's Group is the biggest home services franchise in Australia.
Q: Why do you have 2 channels that seem to be the same?
A: Quick Cuts (my original channel) has music in the background. Quick Cuts V2 is for those that like just machine noise, and it doesn't have music.

Agree, all that was left was power washing the walk ways

I think about this too. I would fix things if it wasn't a major problem.

[@bettytaylor7269]

All other sites I watch clean up and mowing is done for free. He should be doing “extra” since he is being paid.

[@carrieh9956]

The old man who lived there loved his garden. Kind of bittersweet to see it all removed. Great job.

[@teriguerin8371]

What do you consider old?

[@singer.c.619]

Why be left with what he can't care for, good job taking it away. This guy did a really clean job.

[@jerryschramm4399]

The sister absolutely called the right guy for a yard cleanup and makeover. Had she seen any of your videos, or was this through social media? Either way, amazing. I was especially impressed when you tightened the clothes line so it was more presentable. That was truly going the extra mile- or kilometer, in your case.

[@patsampson6990]

As an aging 68 year old gardener I was impressed with what you did and am happy that this will go to someone who will have a new view of what they have. You always do such good work where ever you are. Thank you for all your hard work and sharing it with your viewers.

[@catslife5501]

As a 79 yr old gardener, I smiled when you said 'aging'. you're still a teenager in disguise.

[@genwhite1175]

You did a fantastic cleanup, George! The beautiful orange flowers at 34:31 are Clivia. They thrive in dry shade. I felt a bit sad seeing this - you can tell the guy once loved his yard. Those 4 round things made unique raised gardens! It was good of you to take down the old clothesline pole. That'll make a lovely home for someone new, just needs a few little jobs done to bring it up to 100%. I hope the buyer will be someone who loves gardening. Thanks for doing such a thorough, good job.

[@mikejackson1410]

The sister replacing the fence would really make George’s clean-up stand out!!! Hope she does!!

[@mcgemmell6694]

Clivia miniata. Native to South Africa. Best condition is in full shade.

[@gerrievanjaarsveld8734]

Yes it is from South Africa. You also get it in red and yellow. The yellow color. Is very scarce

​@@mcgemmell6694thanks to you and @genwhite for info on orange plant. I was wanting to know the name and was about to send a question, then I read first he said before asking a question check FAQ because my question mayhave already been answered and just as he said. Now can anyone say where I can find this plant please let me know, I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks guys!

You can tell the brother loved to garden and I’m sure he’s happy with you cleaning it up and making it nice again! May he Rest In Peace 🙏🏻

[@catherinepearson3866]

Hi George Another fantastic job, you do it like it was your own property! I'm sure the prospective buyers will appreciate seeing the property cleaned out and that it has heaps of potential! The orange flowering plant is a Clivia, shade loving plant, commonly orange flowers but also available in creamy yellow. 🐝

[@leecarlson9713]

Absolutely lovely! I have never heard of this plant, but it is a showy beauty!

[@michelebourke4340]

clivia also comes in a in a vibrant red n thrives in the shade. i was praying you wouldn't brutalise this too. that lovely shade creeper over the deck n the pretty bunch of nasturtium there would have looked inviting if you had only trimmed it a little back from the deck. you oughta have a better plant knowledge....couldnt believe you'd trim a flowering camellia.

[@mazevx2451]

Thanks, I wanted to know what the plant was called as well, it's so pretty.

I would have kept the majority of the tree height in the corner for privacy

The orange flowering plant you asked about is Clivia, fantastic job taking care of this once well loved garden ❤. Please show your support everyone, smash that LIKE button ❤

[@richardcline1337]

What are the red berries? Are they blossoms that haven't formed yet?

[@alisonscannell3721]

@@richardcline1337 yes, they're the unformed blooms 😊

[@justsimplysue9276]

The red berries are the seeds. If you remove them and let them dry. Then remove the outer casing, place them into soil at the top of a pot with half the seed exposed. It will then sprout.

[@user-pg3tj3kf1p]

Это кливия. У нас в Молдавии это комнатное растение. А красные ягоды это коробочка которая остаётся после цветения. Созревают семена долго до следующего года.

[@chichitex1252]

This may be my favorite cleanup yard video yet. I kinda grieved over some of the plants you took out, but this is precisely what a house hunter wants to see. I think I would’ve cried over that unnamed red flower in side yard. You are so knowledgeable and meticulous. I think the sister will be pleased. You’re just a great guy!❤❤❤

[@kerrymouse7747]

As a gardener I'd rather some of the plants left so I know what grows well in that position. I'd always been told established and well kept gardens added value to a property

[@colleenkarayiannis8814]

Orange clivias, I have plenty here in Cape Town, and 2 x yellow ones. Very expensive to buy, can split them and replant. They like mostly shade. Lily family

[@ithacacomments4811]

So glad to hear that you made the effort to get the items to a reuse shop instead of to a landfill. Good work!!!

[@euniceloy7120]

I love the fact you know the plants, their names, about their care. No other side goes through as much detail about the plants. Your knowledge and care is amazing!

[@ginak921]

Wow you have made it very appealing to future buyers. You dont just do the garden you fix the washing line, fence and get the padlocks off too. Great job.

[@lindaisserlis6550]

That’s one item crossed off the sister’s list. Very sad to see the state of this yard. I believe at one time it was maintained and enjoyed. Upsetting that people broke into the sheds and stole things. I’m hopeful the pet has been re-homed or wasn’t there at all. Great transformation.

[@matthewalexander2436]

You put us to shame George... God bless you soldier! ❤💪👍

[@RetiredCasper2023]

A very clean and neat appearance makes a difference in selling a home! Well done!

It's shocking how much bigger the yard looked after you cleaned it up. The deck looked absolutely huge without the vines! I didn't know tree ferns still existed. Leave it to Australia to keep the cool stuff alive. 😎

[@pamelaooshuizen7805]

What a beautiful garden that used to be, with the clivia and Camelia and returned to its former glory, well done

[@garyjefferies6763]

I was going to ask last week if you kept landscaping materials for other projects, but it stuck me after watching you working on your neighbour's property and your own a while back that storage might be a problem unless you've a unit elsewhere. Brilliant that you ensure all the waste is upcycled though, to a good cause too. Awesome work again George and very therapeutic to watch compared to current news around the globe.
