Risking it ALL | Starting a Garden Cleanup without PERMISSION!

This job came through on a Sunday afternoon and after speaking with the tenant he explained that the cleanup needed to be completed by the following Tuesday (2 days away) as he had a rental inspection coming up. I said that i'd drop past in the morning, have a look and do a quote. When I got there, the property needed much more work than expected. When I rang the customer to discuss the situation, he didn't answer his phone as he was on a flight to another city. My offer was pretty simple, I do a full yard cleanup, and only charge for green waste removal. After he didn't answer his cell phone, I was then left with 2 options - 1. Wait for his response, but potentially run out of time to complete the transformation. 2. Start the cleanup and hope for the best. Having said that, I was pretty sure he would be happy with my offer, so I began the job and hoped for the best. As you can see, the video is up running and the customer was happy, giving me a 5-star review! All up, I spent around 11 hours on this job, with 2 trips to the landfill.

___________________________________________________
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 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.

[@nancysherry1110]

Do you know what I absolutely LOVE about you? You have common sense, cut dead plants, remove clippings (instead of mowing them over) and provide QUALITY of work performed!

[@cathyjohnson8287]

I never would have believed that I would find watching a person work so gratifying! It has influenced the way I work in my own yard, and even in the house! I love how thorough you are; completing every section before moving on to the next. Maybe you do it that way to film, but it is a great system to me! I also love your command of the tools! You make this hard work look easy. Wishing you many blessings!

[@billrobbins5874]

Rough and rugged. Neat and tidy now. Another job, done thorough! ♥️👍

[@shaggyda2758]

Very well said.

[@SandraVanLankvelt]

I love your video's because you always do MORE than just mowing and cleanup. You fix fences, organize junk in the yard, etc. etc. etc. You are the BEST for sure. God Bless you George.

[@imeldamery6501]

No lawn care videos can give me the same level of satisfaction as George's.

[@vickicarey1222]

George you are the kindest person to help this customer out. He was so lucky you came along. Great job and clean up. ❤❤

[@donnaolson922]

You definitely saved that tenant. I always laugh a little when there’s an overgrown yard with a lawnmower sitting in it. I love the tree trimming! Great job!

[@R-Texas]

George, you worked wonders on this yard. It looked like a different home when you finished. No doubt he will pass inspection. He was lucky it was you that took the job. It never ceases to amaze me the junk that people pile up.

[@saragreen4578]

People seem to think they'll live forever and there'll be time for all the projects...

[@KristinaMaxx]

I’m always glad to see a new “George Clean Up” video. The transformations are always mind blowing. Thank you for sharing 💙

[@OlgaK-tg8xj]

Your attention to the little details is exceptional!! Stacking the wood was a prime example!! Bravo!!

[@6or18]

It's hard to believe that miracles can be done in only 11 hours, but you did one. Kudos George. 👍👍

[@DeanChapman-p8k]

My favourite lawn care channel , you should go into part time mower repair....most people seem to have one that doesn't work

[@daynexxx1829]

😁

[@scarter8137]

lol

[@wileytraylor5404]

Well done, Sir. Maybe the home owner will be encouraged to finish clearing the trash out of that corner and maybe pressure wash that fence. It would be a nice finishing touch.

[@melissaphillis7247]

Incredible work George! Even stacked the firewood! I'm sure they were rapt, and passed the inspection with flying colours!! ❤

[@popgunlive1546]

Another master class on how to tackle an overgrown mess… one section at a time. Well done George!

[@heidiayers2124]

Another great makeover 👏 So glad the tenant kept the verbal agreement. Thank you for your videos they brighten my day 😊

[@drtrudie]

Another heroic clean up from George. That’s why we watch all your videos, a humble soul at work as it were his own! We love it!😊 Thank

[@tmarankin1987]

I believe a tidy garden always makes a house look better. What an improvement for your client.

[@susansnell9125]

Well, I do hope he's happy with this transformation!!! You did wonderful again.

[@sylviawoods6486]

He was so fortunate that you were there to help him! Night and day difference!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@lamonafoster363]

Thank you for sharing these makeovers. I so appreciate the time and effort you put into refurbishing these yards and putting out these videos!

[@lylaclark3977]

From Ireland here 🇮🇪, Outstanding George! What a fabulous result. Take care 🌻

[@laharrison53]

YES it's Saturday. As always you do a great job. I have watched other cleanup channels, but you are definitely the best. 😊

[@wendybell422]

What an example of a clean be up you always make a garden look special 😊

[@lilanina1504]

I think that man was verry happy with your work

[@christinekesler8964]

Great job!! PSA never stack wood up against a house; if there's a fire it makes things worse plus stacked wood provides shelter for rodents which you probably don't want right next to your siding😊

[@scarter8137]

Valid point! Not to mention roaches and termites 😳

[@janelaidler3070]

Fab job yet again George. Great result. Well done.🎉

[@johnlaforte700]

What a wonderful job you have done for the tenant. Always neat and clean, beautiful. 👍👍😊❤️

[@daynexxx1829]

Tidying up and putting someone's yard in order is definitely Quick Cut's ..Signature👍❤️

[@genwhite1175]

Oh wow, I really loved this one! It's quite a cute little house and now the yard looks soooo much better! I couldn't believe it when you dragged out that big bush at the side of the house and opened it right up! I wonder what the story was with all those rocks?! He was very lucky getting such a good deal from you for all this hard work! Tip fees. Pffft. As one of the world's great procrastinators, I know that the only thing that teaches me a lesson is when I am just about sweating blood because I've left something to the last minute. I'm sure the guy that lives here could have done more if he'd tried. At least stack his wood! You were very kind and generous and it looks great! Since I've been watching your videos, it's made me want to take a trip to Tassie. I always love seeing the hills in the background and the lovely sky. One day maybe. 🙂

[@LoraineBailey-w4i]

Hope you are feeling better and you got some rest. What ?? Do you think all the rocks were for?? Awesome clean job 💯👍👍👍 very nice place all clean up 💯

[@lulunz6809]

What a difference!! The inspection will go so well now. Great work as per usual.

[@loredanarosimodesti4799]

A very nice and neat job, as always.

[@silkedavid8876]

The tenant was very lucky to contact you. They could have not done a better job, and another gardener would not have beenaas thorough!

[@patriciacrawford9868]

Oh George what are we going to do with you lol great job 👏

Another "George" masterpiece! I love how you work George--you finish one section before moving on to the next. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it very much.

[@user-dq9po1nh4g]

You have done an amazing job once again. Really look forward to your video on Saturday. You are still the best 👌. Your fan from across the ditch. Will watch this one again in the week. Thank you George.

[@alisonscannell3721]

Such a night and day difference, awesome job George

[@arlenelamont5610]

As my dad told me once about being kind and helpful, “Girl, don’t let your heart overload your ass “ be kind and be careful. Place looks great, George.

[@cherylcowden9676]

Beautiful job as always. The owner was fortunate to have you do this cleanup. Love your videos.

"Dang" means "dadgummit" or "shucks"😂😂

Way to go George for fixing the fence. The yard looks amazing. You do such good work. Keep it up. Always love your videos

[@andreahall7610]

I love watching your “transformations” and how you clean up everything. Many judt mow and don’t bother bagging. Another fabulous job, George.

Wonderful!!! You are a rescuer! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Great job, as always! I'm unable to work in my yard presently because of being sick, so I live vicariously through you George. THANKS!

[@Mary-dn4oc]

George, I always love your work. Have a great week.

[@brotoubrotou3164]

You are definitely a miracle worker. I loved how you attacked the mess of overgrown trees and brush in the backyard. I still think you need a tarp. 😀

[@janine8933]

Greetings from California, USA. George, that was a great transformation. Well done. 😎

[@janinedevilliers510]

You are the best of the best George. The house was quaint and looked so nice after your transformation. The tenant was lucky that you did this for him for free when he clearly let the garden get that bad. He should hire you to provide a paid regular service even if it is once or twice a month. Then you can remove all the piles of junk over time, and really shape all the trees, cut doqn dead branches, etc. Even if a person is renting, one doesn't have to live in a junk yard. Excellent job considering you had 2 days notice. 👍😅

[@kirk467]

Excellent job, George! Thanks for sharing, Louisiana USA sending prayers and positive vibes for you and your family! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻

You've pulled off ( HAH!
