RESTORING order to DESERTED yard- OVERGROWN clean up- part one

This video is part one of this series and focuses on the front yard. In this video I will be mowing, blowing and edging, as well as restoring an old garden bed.
The resident was financially and physically unable to maintain the property and it had been left unattended for approximately two years.
Although the grass out the front doesn't seem quite long this video is the starter for the extremely overgrown backyard, which has it all.

I love how you rescue and re-use plants!

Currently I’ve got a bunch of large plants in my front garden needing to be planted 🤭

[@Gil53liam]

It makes me happy to watch your videos, it shows me that there are still people who care.

[@susannegalligan8600]

My favorite part is your attention to the plants and living things. You are a very good editor as well as landscaper. Now for sharing the plants with all, I LOVE THAT! Thank you.

[@MowingForMentalHealth]

No worries 🫶🏼

[@lianaday9435]

Making order out of chaos resets the control of a spinning mind. Extending a helping hand to someone in need not only calms thyself but also to the person/people whom the hand was extended to. Tyler you are among the few I follow that deserves all good things to come their way. Your question “ what makes YOU happy?” My personal answer is random acts of kindness. When I see or hear or do anything that helps anyone in any way, I’m happy. Watching what you do makes me happy, thank you Tyler. 💛

[@gailatkinson1955]

I love sitting outside just listening to nature. I also love watching channels of people helping others not expecting anything in return. 😊❤

[@litzatedesco1417]

What makes me happy? Listen to the rain and then working in the yard .Love it when you rescue plants. Many blessings to you and continue your journey to a happy healthy future.

[@teribelleau137]

How perfectly wonderful you are, sharing your rescued plants! That makes me happy, too 😅❤😊 BEAUTIFUL JOB!

Thanks 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@briansbuildsandoutdoors4936]

What makes me happy? Seeing people who are experiencing their own mental health challenges escaping the crushing grip of their condition and getting amongst it is what makes me happy. You are a dead set legend mate. All the best.

[@MowingForMentalHealth]

I appreciate you Brian.

[@catzrule5973]

I love when I've mowed my little lawn, put away the tools and just stand back and enjoy the sweet smell of freshly cut grass and the sight of that smooth green lawn. I think that is why I enjoy watching you mow. The sunshine makes me happy, and birds singing too. I hope you have a happy week Tyler. 🌻💛🌻

[@donnawelborn4281]

As always you did an amazing job! What makes me happy ? My family, Watercolor painting, helping others and watching you do your magic!

[@mgrizz2386]

I love that you repurpose rescued plants and even a snail deserves respect. I've never seen a snail so large, that was cool. Amazing transformation once again Tyler!

[@MowingForMentalHealth]

[@sandscottie68]

What makes me happy? Getting out into the garden, whether it be mowing or tending my flowers and vegetables. Being able to have the house smell of fresh flowers from your own garden while preparing a meal with home grown vegies is a great feeling. As I am my mother’s carer it also allows me to put headphones on and listen to a good book. Little things like that really are great for mental health.

[@catherinepearson3866]

The smell of freshly mown grass makes me happy, and the feeling of warmth of the winter sun on my face , fresh air and knowing there are still amazing people in this crazy world who care for those unable to do things for themselves. Love what you do Tyler, you are so kind and caring of others, without any judgement, thanks🌵☘🐌🌱💚

[@amysobolik9639]

What makes me happy? Watching the trees "bud out" and my perennials poke their noses out of the ground for another season.

[@CopperAnna1307]

Watching these types of yard rescues actually brings me joy! There’s something reassuring and soothing about taking a chaotic, overgrown yard and returning it to something beautiful… the way it was intended to be. ❤

[@nhg642]

What is something that makes me happy? Watching you transform peoples landscapes! Seriously. It also gives me hope that I can achieve these great looks on my own property! Thank you for doing this! I love the name of your vlog!

[@staceybohlke1881]

Beautiful work! So glad you can help lift any weight away for this person, Thank you. Having my cat sleep in my lap, the smell of freshly brewed coffee, and sitting out on the patio enjoying my freshly cut lawn makes me happy. Stay safe.

[@stevetaber4452]

I take care of my own yard. I really enjoy it. I like the satisfaction I feel when I'm done. I've learned alot from watching so many turf channels. It's helped how I address my lawn. Keep up the good work. Always keep your chin up and smile. It makes people wonder what you're thinking. Lol😊

[@drtrudie]

Working hard at something I enjoy makes me happy, which is why I like this channel of mowing for mental health. You walk the talk, something many cannot do. You rock😊😊😊😊

[@MowingForMentalHealth]

You give me strength & I have no doubt you’re doing good things. Thanks

[@mklobnak]

You rock, Tyler! Great work. Looking forward to part 2. Again, this is my favorite day of the week! Happiness: Writing to my boys each day. I have carried on the tradition for seven years without missing a day. I write them each a letter about their day, some thoughts from me, and my hopes for them. It gives me comfort to know that they will have books to keep with them as they get older. The thought of seeing them flip through the thousands of pages for the first time gives me a sense of peace and purpose. I also find happiness in knowing that they have embraced faith in God. Life here is one thing...eternity is another. 🙂

[@MowingForMentalHealth]

Thank you for sharing this much love to you mate 👍🏼

[@carriegarrisonvos4433]

What makes me happy is to see a garden restored and looking lovely again!! Be it ours or watching you do it. I love nature and I love to see insects and butterflies and birds enjoying the garden also. We do everything green with no chemicals. We are very slowly getting our garden back from the last two years and injuries etc. It's satisfying!! Same as watching your videos!! My mother had two nervous breakdowns with the loss of my half brother and sister and gardening is what saved her 😍

[@MowingForMentalHealth]

Much love to you and your mum thank you for sharing.

It makes ME happy to finish any work I start in the best way I can! From putting clothes away, keep the cupboards in order or cleaning up the trash from the beach. It doesn't matter how small or big a work is... as long as I do it RIGHT. It doesn't make me proud, it is just satisfying and makes me smile seeing the final result.😊❤

Knowing some family/individuals somewhere are blessed and relieved by the work, skill, care and dedication folk like you, Tyler, do for them. Also at sunrise when the dew sparkles, birds using the feeder and birdbath, joy of recognition in a child's face/eyes when someone they love and need shows them love and care, hugs and/or swirls in the air, knowing the utter joy/relief at that moment to sustain them in times to come, as they surely will. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

I'm pleased that you are spending more time on verbal commentary, & seem comfortable doing so now!---I wonder why there was a difference in the character of the grass, that one strip looked like there used to be a sidewalk under it.---You asked an inspired question about happiness. Lots of great responses. Me, I have a lifetime of accepting that one great pleasure does not negate many small miseries. I'm basically a gloomy person, really only happy when I was on-the-job, even tho' my nursing career was loaded with challenges.

[@robertshrewsbury5067]

Nice that the front is a place where a good mow and trim can make a big difference. Really liked your idea of using a lightweight mower to avoid damage to over-wet lawns. I can see you showed us "brick weeps", apparently a place where they deliberately did not put in mortar, to allow ventilation. Wasn't aware of that topic. Makes sense the vegetation will cut off the air flow if it gets thick and tall. The rescued plants did look nice in the new bed.
