The Ultimate Garden RESCUE: Surprising a Homeowner with a FREE Makeover

I decided to do a surprise full yard makeover for a young couple while they were on holiday. When the daughters mother called me around to do a quote for some mowing, I took one look at this place and offered to do a complete transformation for free. I thought it would be a great surprise. I was then told that the daughter had fallen over when hiking on a glacier in New Zealand and injured her hand terribly, requiring surgery and leaving her with a slight disability. Because of this, she can no longer really garden and take care of the property as required. Her partner really isn't an outside type of person, so the yard has become quite overgrown. At the start I thought I could get it all done in one episode, but the front took me much longer than expected, and I did everything for FREE. I put in around 10 hours of labour, with one trip to the landfill and a trip to the landscaping supplies yard for mulch. This is part 1 of 2.
Part 02: • This Brings a NEW Mean...

___________________________________________________
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: What happened to Nick?
A: Nick was offered a full-time position at his other job as a Political admin.
Q: What happened to Brent?
A: Brent quit at the start of August 2022.
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 are you cutting so close to your employee?
A: I'm not cutting too close to my workers, they are standing too close to where I am working! All of my workers have been told numerous times about standing too close to the tools and about the hazards involved!
Q: Why do your workers do all the lifting and carrying?
A: Basically, they are employed to carry things and I pay them well, to do the job required.
Q: You work so well together, how do you do it?
A: That's the magic of editing. My workers are basically given instructions on what to do, I just edit it all out, so the videos look seamless!
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. Currently, I don't do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k on a good ride on mower.
2. I don't have anywhere to store it.
3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can't actually get a ride-on in there.
4. I don't have the right trailer for a ride on, considering we always take the green waste away.
5. I will get one as soon as all of the above are solved.
Q: What happened to your workers?
A: Because the work is so hard and I expect high standards, most have quit over time. The only exception so far is Nick.
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.

This was just picture perfect when you were all through, George. And you even brushed off the front door mat!!! 😯😉 I have no doubt that the owner will be over the moon when she gets back. You never know ... maybe your giving her a "clean slate" to work on will encourage her to give gardening another go, even if only in a limited way. Sometimes when faced with a huge project, you become so overwhelmed that paralysis sets in and you simply can't move forward. I'd say that you, George, are the perfect antidote for that! Thank you for yet another fascinating video ...

[@QCV2]

Hi Pat, thank you. They have already spoken to me about an ongoing service to maintain the property 🙂

[@pampilgrim2274]

George, you did a profound makeover on this yard. You even power washed the concrete. I enjoy watching your channel. Your before and after footage is the best I have ever seen.

[@donnaolson922]

Holy smokes George! You went all out on this one! Even cleaned her doormat! I was just thinking how great it would be to see the grass in the beds taken care of and mulch put down…and then you did it! Really great job, George.

[@lulunz6809]

Your attention to detail is unmatched! I can't wait to see you work your magic in the backyard. Nicely done.

[@jeanyoung8874]

How wonderful. He knows what to do, and he does it! No mercy. I love it.😊

[@susanhocking7836]

Beautiful job, George! I would be so excited to come home from holiday to see that someone had beautified my entire yard! ♥️

[@racheldavis5558]

That yard looks amazing. GOD BLESS U YOUNG MAN ND THE WORK U DO TO HELP OTHERS.

[@KelleeYouPersonalOracle]

You got that place looking absolutely grand. The pressure washing is the cherry on top!

[@melissalorden5789]

Yay another George video 🎉🎉. I have to say my sweet friend that this is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE lawn transformations you’ve done yet!! This house and neighborhood are just stunning. You turned this already beautiful home into an extraordinary one with the beautiful work that you put into this place! This homeowner is going to be over the moon about it when she returns from holiday. Another fantastic job for the books George!!! Oh and I wanted to say that I really like how you’ve decided to speak at the beginning of the videos now as opposed to just writing on the screen. It certainly adds a more personal touch to your videos!! ❤❤❤❤

[@teetop5776]

Awesome work. As usual. That aluminum trash can is you best friend. What a nice neighborhood.

[@janwitalis8702]

George, you have such a kind heart to offer your services. God bless you.

[@samschneiderwind2567]

George, the change is startling. Beautiful work!

[@brendamyers6752]

What a fantastic transformation George, I know the daughter's arrival from holiday was brighter because of the work you did 😊

[@robertshrewsbury5067]

Your work would be a real treat for an avid gardener. Thank you for you kindness. Interesting watching. The initial large area of the sides of the hedge meant it had a large impact on the appearance of neatness when you trimmed the first driveway. We also become "accustomed" to things that should change...as the toppled bush and at 10:39, another growing out-of-place. That was a thick layer of mulch you put down. Power washing was a nice pick. It again moves the look back to orderly and bright. First thought at the end result...."Oh, how nice!" Thanks for your time, skills and thoughtfulness.

[@QCV2]

cheers mate 🙂

[@sonniecampbell1788]

Homeowner hit the mother lode when her mom contacted you! 💚 Beautiful yard, and adding the mulch 💚 Well done!

[@araceliramallopina9500]

Me gusta mucho el trabajo que haces… porque no solo podas , sino que recoges toda la poda y dejas todo súper limpio , me suscribí desde el principio que te vi como trabajabas …eres un crack

[@fredvanhetnet]

Awesome transformation. Looks very nice now!!! God bless you.

[@brendahardy5316]

From ordinary to extraordinary! Beautiful work as always George! You are still one of my favorites to watch, your outcomes are always impressive ☘️⚘️🌿

[@user-cj2cx4tb4g]

I agree. To watch you work is not only a pleasure but also a lesson.

[@aaaaa-of6cd]

Agreed 👍 from Nagaland, India. A

[@terriainsworth9047]

So neat and clean. Great job as always. Won't she be surprised! Thank you George. ❤💙💚💛💜

[@1jackieworcs]

The front garden looks fabulous!

[@Cherylquilts]

The quality of your work is unprecedented! Love to watch you work.❤

[@got2bcc]

Your videos are always well put together. You are the best at getting yards put back in shape!! Amazing!! Well done!

[@Kelly-lq6pb]

The mulch was a nice touch. It gave the property more curb appeal. 👍👍

[@Ginarose5657]

Another awesome job in the books, George! I love the landscaping and adding the mulch was definitely a cake topper. The power washing brought it all together :) I can’t wait to see what you do with the backyard!

[@arlenelamont5610]

Sad to see the camellia taken down. It had adjusted well in that cramped corner. The tree by the curb looks much nicer with the trim you gave it. The yard looks great.

[@ChiefsFan62]

Worn out and tired to revitalized and energized! Beautiful! I'd love to see her reaction when she sees the transformation. Great job!

[@debk9889]

I really loved this transformation George. It is a beautifully landscaped yard that got away from the owner, you brought back that beauty and then some. The detailed work is really special, the mat cleaned, the power washing, the mulch and the pruning and shaping all those bushes and trees. You are a yard artist for sure, loved this episode!

[@dreemadrum8441]

Phenomenal work wonderful landscaping, you definitely take pride in your work and it shows!

[@patsysmith4096]

Outstanding yard transformation! ❤it!

[@williambradford1467]

Impressive results! Another job very well done!

[@chevelle6268]

Excellent job! This was a true blessing! The mulch! The power wash! That lady will think she’s at the wrong house when she gets home! It’s just beautiful now.

[@geoffswoman]

Another tip top transformation! Beautiful work, George. Looking forward to the backyard 👍 Also, what a view from the property.

[@tonid3268]

I can't believe how much you do for others! The mulch and the pressure washing just put this over the top! You are amazing! Thank you for all you do! 😊❤

[@lorettawesley2906]

Great video and job. The owner should be surprised 😮 and pleased 😀 because you did an amazing job and it didn't cost her a dime 😀

[@suebritton6660]

Great transformation again Well done Love watching your videos

[@lisawaters2585]

Ok. Big wow toyou, George. Amazing transformation. Completely riveting, from beginning to end. I think you showed us ALL your skills. This is your best one, George.

[@patsampson6990]

George you did an amazing job on this front yard. Every thing you touched just proves that! And you put down beautiful mulch! I'll be looking forward to the 2nd part! I also enjoy the Q & A above, thanks for sharing.

[@heinzheinzberg3287]

Just soothing, from start til end! 👍 Brushing the doormat was the additional 5 Star Service and shows why this Channel is so extraordinary 🤩

[@lyndanorton6705]

I watched all three in order this afternoon, you are a miracle worker! God bless you! You are amazing.

[@elisae7645]

Awesome job ❤

[@doreenmcqueen8736]

Absolutely brilliant George 🌱one of your very best garden transformations & there's more to come! The homeowner will be amazed 🤗

[@lorettalouvros207]

You went above and beyond on this job! I was well impressed!! I can only IMAGINE how the home owner felt having seen it when she arrived home! Wow!

[@dorothylavell3038]

Awesome job. The transformation is just beautifully done 😊

[@PeggySue-RL]

George goes the extra mile. You put the mulch on very thick. Great job. Another ⭐️ in your crown. Power wash too. Wow. How can we give you 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 stars. 😮

[@paulettesherry7366]

I just love how the lawns look when you are done with them

[@irenefitzpatrick6480]

Superb job George and what a lovely garden! Can't wait to see the back garden as well! x

[@cindydimery708]

George, you done a great job (as usual ☺️) I know the home owner 😍 loved it. 👏🏼💪👷🤩🏠

[@rejaneberclaz3331]

Excellent work and total transformation of the garden! Have a nice weekend, George 🤗😊

[@starryknightJAK]

Fantastic job 🎉 Love your attention to detail.

[@helenfincannon7367]

Great job the lady will be proud of her yard

[@lindaaustin-morin7781]

I like that you tell us what and why you’re doing what you’re doing.

[@BelleDede01]

I love how you take time to clean out flower pots, added some mulch and pressure washed too. Wow! Everytime I see something that I think you might have forgotten or not seen or forgot to do, you seem to be reading my mind and fix it the moment I notice it. Great work and you are to be rewarded and commended for all your hard work. It would be so nice if we had people like you here in Canada, but I don't see it, if they exist. I like the fact that you are a perfectionist, knowledgeable, full of energy and a caring person. Keep it up as long as you can. Some people need people like you. I'm sure the homeowner must have been impressed when she looked at this video (at least I hope she did) and appreciative. God Bless.

[@anne15680]

Beautifully done 👍

[@katieciccoianni4415]

You really outdid yourself on this one, George!!!! Beautifully done!!! I'm sure the homeowner was thrilled with the results!

[@ginak921]

I thought that it didnt look like there was too much to do until you started and then thought Wow. Great job as usual.

[@aprilrosesabido8311]

Done an excellent job as you always do, George! 🎉

[@joridgway5074]

PERFECTION !!!!!!

[@teenarheinschmidt6606]

Great work. Love watching you transform a yard. See you on the next video

[@producethom4875]

I liked all the videos I watched, but this one just seems really special. Great job, George.

[@janicecooper875]

Now that's what l call a well kept home. It looks good George. The homeowner is going to be delighted when she gets home from holiday.

[@roseorosco154]

It looks amazing 🤩! George you have a talent for making yards go from disaster to beautiful! Thank you enjoyed your video 🙏🏼🌹🌟😊

[@patriciajunedenney371]

You're definitely an artist. I like the way you clean as you go and take away all the rubbish. Hello from Indiana in the USA. You're my first landscaper to watch and my favorite.

[@QCV2]

hello 🙂🙋‍♂️

[@user-bc4gf5yx8h]

Beautiful transformation. Mother and daughter will be ecstatic with the results. You do such impressive work. The power washing and adding the mulch really are an upgrade and add a lot of appeal. Perfection to the finest detail!

[@CoastVid]

You have mastered the art of restoring order. Great work.

[@dianaviselli3136]

Way to go George! Another beautiful transformation. I always look forward to your next video.

[@user-bb2ej2fh7y]

Сказочно!!!Золотые руки!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jennyrobertson8797]

A stunning transformation - you went above and beyond - even mulching the garden beds, and pressure washing!

[@pguel3234]

A great garden saved by George!

[@cathyadams2670]

Absolutely beautiful. You go above and beyond on your yard work and that’s why you are number one of all the people doing yard work on you tube. I love watching the transformations of the yards you work on. You always give them the wow factor 👍

[@shqa574]

This job surpassed expectations, George. The trimming and the mulching were phenomenal. The owners will be thrilled when they return home. The neighbors will be impressed with the curb appeal. The next door neighbor might give you a call to weed their front garden. Looking forward to the backyard cleanup.

[@debrak.6430]

Really wonderful transformation George!! A+...!!!!!

[@lindamiller1945]

Love your videos because you know what your doing and don’t just cut to cut. You always shape to look awesome

[@karlathrift550]

What a wonderful job, you did, George! As always, I truly enjoy watching your videos, you are a perfectionist, and always do the job perfectly. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@kazzy1056]

I love the clean straight edges and really impressed that all the grass and leaves are ALWAYS swept up and taken away. I do follow other gardeners but I find that those on the ride on mowers don’t clear up behind themselves. Got to say you’re the best 😊😊

[@KristinaMaxx]

I absolutely love the explanations and when you take the time to show us the little gems you find. Your channel brings me such relaxation. Thank you

[@bearfog07]

I find watching these make overs SO relaxing and I pick up ideas for cleaning up certain parts of the garden as well, thanks George xx

[@imochiexe5056]

Beautiful restoration, George. Daughter will be over the moon, the mom over Mars!🎉🎉😊😊

[@nemledda]

Another enjoyable clean up to watch, the George way. It is worth watching, every second of it. Some videos of other vloggers, I usually do some fast forward or skip some areas. But your videos are worth every second. Sometimes I even re-watch them. Thank you as always.
