TRANSFORMED Huge JUNIPER Into A BONSAI Tree For Elderly WIDOW

TRANSFORMED Huge JUNIPER Into A BONSAI Tree For Elderly WIDOW
We Found this property driving around the neighborhood and left a flyer on the door. Found out this homeowner had lost her husband and everything outside hadn't been taken care of in years. She has a guy that comes and mows, but she said he doesn't really trim or edge.
She also had these two huge juniper bushes that hadn't been touched in quite awhile. At first I wasn't sure what to do with them, but then I reached out to my Aunt and she had mentioned I should shape them like a bonsai tree. That is what I did.

Absolute wonderful job! What most people don’t understand is we buy our property when we are young and as we age, there are more and more things we are unable to do. And on a fixed income, can’t afford to have someone come on a regular basis! God bless these men for making her home beautiful again!

[@SAHamel_]

well said.

[@gordo4559]

Everything you said is so true but in all honesty what will the property look like a year from if she is of limited funds. She really needs to consider downsizing I’m sure she has built up some real equity in her home, use that money to have a more carefree life in maintenance free apartment. I know now that both me and my wife are 70 it gets harder and harder to maintain our 120 acre property and the house and outbuildings we built on raw land 30 years ago. It will be hard to move from everything we built here but it’s the practical thing to do but bless you for generous use of your time and labor.

[@Jax52reg]

I’m in the same situation……..I had 7 flower beds and I started cutting back. My goal is to only have 3 small beds.

[@tastx3142]

My husband and I are in our mid-60’s and help out elderly neighbors in their 80’s who want to remain in their home. We do repairs for the cost of materials and they have referred us to their friends outside the neighborhood. I doubt anyone will be there for us. One neighbor was trying to sell their home and they had already moved out an hour away. The husband is legally blind and can’t drive and she got covid and had planned to come take care of the yard as the recent rains had caused an explosion of weeds. I offered to spray them and spent the day working on it and one of their next door neighbors saw me and asked about it. I had also been spreading mulch in their xeriscaped areas. The next door neighbor mowed their own lawn and did the neighbor’s as well. Others started volunteering their services as well simply because they were shamed that a disabled woman was helping rather than complaining as others had about the eyesore that the yard had become.

This was one of the best cleanups I have seen done by anybody! I have watched many. Congratulations on a beautiful job Brian. Well done! 😊

[@SandraVanLankvelt]

I laughed so hard when that one guy said "wow look at this sidewalk this is weird"??? I laughed so hard because when the camera was pointing across the street I saw a corner and an intersection and thought OH that center tree is in a sidewalk area (City property) and people can't cross the street to go to the other sidewalk corner on the other side of the street. OOP"S the owner's might have to take out that center tree??? Still laughing.

[@Tavis1910]

That was amazing.

[@lawrencekalfayan1439]

What an amazing transformation. The entire street corner was obscured by that huge juniper but now it is an attractive and beautiful asset to the neighborhood. You didn't merely cut the branches; rather you manicured and shaped it to its aesthetic perfection.

[@debbiejeffries3256]

That was a lot of work! Hope she appreciated all that effort! Bet the neighbors did. Nice job!!❤️❤️

[@cindyz3342]

Love that you trimmed up and left the junipers in front… it’s a good barrier. Too stark without ❤️

[@gigistitchin]

Brian you just cleaned up YEARS of neglect! Wonderful job. 👍

[@tonysopranosduck416]

Hopefully she can start clearing out some of the garbage that has just been dumped in the yard over the years, like golf cart, old tvs, mini tractors, etc. When people are overwhelmed they tend to make matters worse by just adding to the chaos because “dealing” with it is exhausting. So crap piles up little by little and a year later it’s an even bigger nightmare. This property is massive, on top of her troubles. I think I counted 3 garages! She definitely needs to sell and downsize and start enjoying a freer emotional state. This cleanup was a gift from the universe , I hope she runs with it!

[@carenfarmer4794]

There is the one detached garage that has a door opening to the backyard, and one to the side yard.

[@mikeomalley5407]

You didn’t butcher the juniper tree but instead created a safer corner for traffic. It probably caused a lot of near misses in its state before. Property looks great now and with a few fall rains, the bushes and grass will get greener again. KS has its dry summers and looks like this property had a bad year. Kudos to you Brian and helper!!

[@lisab.1595]

Incredible job!! I love what you did to the junipers !! Who would have thought to do that. Junipers are slow growing plants, so those must have been quite old to get to that size. Interesting.

I love how the juniper area turned into an archeological dig site. Nice job. Keep up the good work 👍👍

[@rodandjudibowen5665]

Wow, Brian (and helper). That was a giant job for a relatively mediocre-sized yard! I hope the homeowner was astounded and truly grateful for the endless toil you did! Even I, though a faithful viewer, was Duly Impressed! I hope you had good naps at your tiny desk to recover from the Day-and-Night Toiling! Thank you on behalf of so many women who need a Real Man to step up and do the hard stuff! From Judi 🤠🐶💝P.S. I almost giggled when you guys were tugging at the Giant Shrub's branches. I visualized that the resistance came from the Gremlins underneath tugging back 'cause they needed cover!
