@@psn64sat63 - It varies from town to town. Some towns 100% own the sidewalks, land and all. And most of them do a decent job maintaining them. Other towns will put sidewalks on the homeowners land whether they want them there or not. This essentially makes your land a 'public' thoroughfare, and those towns usually also demand that the homeowners maintain them. In jusrisdictions where it snows, there are towns that fine the property owner for every day they don't clear the snow and ice. Imagine shoveling a couple hundred feet of sidewalk, then having a plow bury it again! In many places, people who slip and fall on 'your' sidewalk can sue you. In fact there are people who make a living doing exactly that.

[@mjackson3109]

@@psn64sat63 As you said, it all depends upon where you live. The expectation is, the sidewalk, your driveway and the apron ARE the individual homeowner's responsibility. Point of fact, the sidewalk in front of my neighbor's home and in front of my sister's home is beginning to crack due to a tree planted by the city we live in. When the walkway began to get cracks due to tree roots, an inspector from the city said if it got any worse, they (the homeowners) would need to replace the walkway. My sister opined, if I didn't plant the tree and I can't remove the tree, why am I responsible for the sidewalk cracking due to this tree? It was reiterated she would need to replace the sidewalk if it got any worse. I agree, the homeowner should have been taking care of the sidewalk and should have been made to clean this up. I do my own grass cutting, edging and trimming with basic homeowner tools; a battery operated weed eater, an electric weed eater, an electric grass/leaf blower, and a gas push mower. I don't have high end tools so I have to stay on top of my game. (Obviously I can't use my electrified blower, weed eater in the rain or if the ground is wet.)

@@psn64sat63 I just wrote a thank you, as someone who relies on smart crutches, and with a sister in an electric wheelchair. Even as a mom, out pushing my son in his pushchair, I would have had to go into the road to get around that. He is doing a great service to the community by doing these makeovers. It makes such a difference to me personally, because it only takes a couple of millimetres change under the outside of my foot and I dislocate my ankles. My sister and I have a genetic disease called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (type 2 & 3) and it is very difficult for either of us to move around when the sidewalks are like this!

[@liltdiddylilt]

Spencer, my sister and I have a genetic disease called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and I walk using smart crutches, though at the moment I use my baby son’s pushchair to walk with, and my sister uses an electric wheelchair. I just want to say, on behalf of the less-able people in the community, THANK YOU so much. That sidewalk would have been impassable for anyone in a wheelchair, on crutches, or indeed pushing any children along in prams/pushchairs etc. Especially with that weed tree growing right out across it. Without your work, we would have to travel on the road, and that is more dangerous by far. I really hope you get to read this and realise just how grateful I am, as I’m sure all users of the sidewalks you clear are!

I agree with you. About 12 years ago I needed to temporarily use a wheelchair. I looked at the world in a whole new way after realizing the things that handicapped people have to endure daily. That taught me a huge lesson and I am a huge advocate for handicapped people. My apartment building did not have a handicap parking space so after I got done with them, they got one. Anywhere I see without handicap parking or improper accessibility, I make my phone calls and things do change. As for sidewalks, I think the city should be more on top of them being maintained, especially for handicapped people. The city should give them a warning and if they don’t clean up their sidewalk, the city should do it and charge the homeowner.

Lawn creep is inevitable due to the overfill for compaction. The best way to slow it down is to get you grade down and decrease pitch of slope to hardscape about a mowers width wide. You can cut the sod, remove however many inches of dirt, and then put the sod right back then water it daily until the sod bonds with your new substrate level.

It's amazing that "the city" (the council) doesn't look after the sidewalks (footpaths). They grind down steps where the concrete has moved to ensure no-one trips and its safe over here in Australia. From the road in to the property boundary is "council property" and is the responsibility of council to maintain. Having said that, most people do mow this area & consider it something they should mow. It does mean you can't plant trees or gardens in that area.

[@Leone4130]

That's what I was thinking, here in Canada this work would be done by the "town workers" and would never get to this stage of being so overgrown. Same goes for the first 6' of any property from the road; its the homeowners responsibility to mow and shovel snow, but they don't own the first 6' of land, this is so they can always build sidewalks etc if they need to. Interesting stuff

You should see the condition of the sidewalks and roads where I live. We joke that it’s a season. Pothole season. So many tires lost 😞 so many rims effd

Agreed. Our local municipal government takes responsibility for sidewalk maintenance. Homeowners are only responsible for snow removal in winter (with hefty fines if you don't clear it within the first few hours of a snowfall - which would be impossible with sidewalks such as the one shown here.) Otherwise sidewalk maintenance is paid for through property taxes. I've watched several SB Mowing sidewalk clearing videos, and am always shocked with how unkempt they are allowed to become in the State(s) where SB shoots his videos. That would definitely violate Property Standards bi-laws up here. I have to believe it is a result of an aversion to paying taxes because cities elsewhere in the world are apparently better funded to maintain their public spaces.

[@talmadgewilliams8831]

Spencer I know you do this out of the kindness of your heart . But don’t let people take advantage of your kindness. You also put your heart and soul into everything that you do. I am honored to be able to watch your videos It proves that there’s one human being left in this world.

[@paulmitts964]

I just realized that chain link fence really isn't a fence. It's a galvanized steel netting used to stop the annual migration of autumn leaves.

We need more people like you in this world. Happy to see other people happy

[@BrutalFates]

I am always surprised by local town regulations that these people do not have to maintain their sidewalks. I feel like in a lot of places you would rack up fines for this or be forced to pay your town to have it cleared. Unmaintained sidewalks can lead to different types of accidents.

[@noras.5355]

I was getting totally pooped just watching you struggle with this sideway! I admire you sir! Keep up the terrific work. Remember to take care of yourself as well!

[@charolpihlman2558]

Once again, excellent job! The transformation is amazing. May God bless you and your business!

[@mar1957100]

Another great job. What a difference. Glad u got some appreciation and compliments from some of the neighbors. Much deserved!

[@jomcgee6094]

That whole neighborhood shaped up in 6 hours. Awesome work!

[@Brian-vd4mg]

Awesome job. It makes me kind of sad that people don’t take pride in what they own or are physically unable to keep up what they own.

[@cometomyfrontdoor]

The city owns that path though they should take care of it

[@Brian-vd4mg]

@@cometomyfrontdoor how do you know what City this home resides in? If the sidewalk is within your property lines, so to the curb, you have to maintain grass/weeds.

[@joanlenhard82]

WHOW you are the king of sidewalks. You just enhanced their property 10 fold. How wonderful for the community. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.

[@123mvsmith]

Great job! Looks like the grass is cut, you would think if someone is cutting the grass they would edge the sidewalk as well? Glad to see you take pride in your work...

[@karen1866]

There’s something amazing about seeing these transformations. Don’t know why, but I’m hypnotized and addicted. Thank you for that.

[@almosthome5971]

Looked really nice, Spencer. Did a great job! Much improvement in overall appearance of the neighborhood, and now all the corners "match", in upkeep. Well done!

[@vickiatkinson4027]

What a great job you did! Looked 1000% better after you finished!

[@kimdykes8036]

Question: do you ever go back to see if the yards you cleaned up are being maintained after you left?

[@richardglazer7813]

I had the same thought. I bet this sidewalk will look almost as it was. I'm not sure if it is the responsibility of the owner, but rather the city or town to make sure their sidewalks are free of debris for walkers. Especially those that have reduced mobility.

[@jody8676]

I’ve watched nearly all your videos and wanted to say YOU are the best at lawn care and giving back. Thank you for what you do, Spencer!❤

[@jessicagomez1760]

Now that this wonderful human has done his best to clean the streets, it is up to the owners of the sidewalks AND the community to keep it that way.

[@jessicagomez1760]

If people want to have a mess in their homes that is fine, but at least invest in keeping the sidewalks in a good state for the sake of the community.

[@SBMowing]

I hope they are able to maintain it now!

[@raymorris8594]

Dude you are so awesome, helping lots of people out. You are everything America stands for.

[@delphane3704]

Hi Spencer, it is amazing even if this guy does his own yard why he didn't discover this before & if he's paying someone to do his yard WOW🤔 either way you've set the next person up for success GREAT WORK!! 👍👏😀 P.s. love how bright your fire hydrants are in your city

[@jefffinlayson3002]

The city/town/community should be taking care of its sidewalks like this. Great job SB!!

[@XxDiamondVortexX]

Bro thanks for uploading I tried to fill in the void by watching others but its just not the same 😔 Not saying others finished work dont look as good as yours, its just your process is so satisfying. It calms my inner ocd while others just makes me upset lol 😂😂 the shoveling is what gets me and I find alot of others dont shovel, they just use the edger then weed whack the remaining dirt 😡

[@vincentlynch7672]

Helping others who cannot help themselves is wonderful!

[@baobabs727]

That is so crazy! Where I live in SE Coastal Virginia, we don’t really have this problem because most people have fescue lawns. Unless you have weeds and some creeping crab grass, no one here has St. Augustine or other creepers. So it would be virtually impossible for this to happen. I find it totally fascinating.

[@SBMowing]

We have a lot of fescue around here! But these older parts of town get the crab grass and bermuda and it's pretty much a weed haha

[@cathiwim]

I’ve lived in that area, and there are parts of Norfolk,Suffolk and Virginia Beach(as well as Petersburg) where, if it’s neglected long enough, this can happen also.this reminds me of Asbury Park NJ, where I’ve also lived.

[@baobabs727]

@@cathiwim I’ve not seen it but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible. Perhaps I’m in the wrong area. For wild crab grass to get that out of control your yard has to have been neglected for a decade or two.

[@weighit]

WOW that was sure impressive, you did an outstanding job of making that dangeous sidewalk into a beauty. Thanks for showing us how you did it. Good Job.

[@arisadolly7148]

It would be funny to get the neighbors reaction to seeing a whole sidewalk, probably think it's magic.

[@SBMowing]

That was the neighbor!

[@tamiweber7118]

I’m exhausted just watching you do all this work ✅ I hope the family keeps up with the “Great” renewal of their sidewalk ✅ I’m sure everyone is jumping for joy over the cleared sidewalk and especially the handicap clearance and no more having to walk in the street 💯💜🌟💜💯

[@nibz7255]

Huge transformation 👏🏻 💪🏻 🙌🏻 god bless dude.. channel growing fast best of luck!!

[@SBMowing]

Thank you so much 😀

[@CalifgalCindy1]

It must be so satisfying to uncover a hidden sidewalk or patio, talk about instant gratification. You are doing the entire community a big favor especially when you make the sidewalks accessible to everyone. Not just the walk itself but how many times to ya get smacked in the face by a low hanging branch or overgrown shrub. It is so much more enjoyable and safe to walk after you work your magic.

[@paulh6517]

Great job as always buddy. It can get dry and dusty in the summers (here in South Carolina), so I have an outside shower that helps keep the house clean and really cools you down. I have both hot and cold water in the shower (so Easter to Thanksgiving). Keeps down the mildew on the shower curtain (inside) and you don't have to squeegee the glass either. Just a thought. Keep up your great work. More folks need the work ethic that you have and take pride in ownership of a home. You are THE HERO of neglected neighborhood yards.

[@williamwalsh3779]

Man these sidewalk reveals are just so immensely satisfying! And a pleasure to see you helping people out. If more folks were like Spencer, it'd be a kinder world. Keep up the good work good sir!

[@sweetcurly28]

So satisfying watching the transformation! It seems as though this would never get done if it wasn’t for you! Wow I wonder why all these sidewalks are neglected for so long and left to be such a mess. Your hard work is a blessing to so many people. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@D4n6er0us]

I'm curious as to why the sidewalk is over grown, is it the responsibility on the homeowner even though it's beyond his boundary fence? Here in the UK that path would be the responsibility of the local council/authority to keep clear and cut the verges.

[@AgentAaron101]

A lot of States in the US, it's the homeowners responsibility to clean their sidewalk.

[@shqa574]

@@AgentAaron101 Same applies to apartment property owners (in the densely populated apartment areas of SoCal)!

[@markfive6836]

Hard work you did, excellent result! Maybe being on the side of their house vs. front, it was easier for the homeowner to neglect/forget to maintain all this time. Thanks for this video.

[@zer976]

Hey Spencer, really been admiring your videos. And it even motivates me to take care of my chain link fence. I always convince myself I don't have time to prevent all the weeds and trees from growing. I had a question for you. I'm out of Indiana, and on my riding mower I crank it up to 5, one away from the highest setting 6. After a good mow I get a lot of clumpy grass build ups. I know the common solution is to mow more often, but I mow about once a week, and it doesn't get too tall. Am I doing something wrong? I mow in lines back and forth blowing grass 1 direction then the other.

[@CatOnACell]

Depending on the grass and the mower slowing thw speed may actually solve your issue by giving the grass more time to fall past the blades onto the ground. Otherwise swapping the direction you mow every week vertical horizontal diagonal up diagonal down can slightly help but that's mainly to keep the grass from growing at a slant that would make mowing less efficent.

[@jimmiller4526]

Make sure the grass is dry before you mow. Early morning dew is pretty heavy here in Indiana

[@TheEllington666]

I’ve watched a handful of other guys that do free lawn work etc, but by far, you are the best. Your quality of work is so much higher than others and it really shows. Keep up the fantastic work! X
