Thankyou Erik, and your crew for helping this elderly lady.. ..Is some real mean folk out there, with some false sense of authority, like the post lady.. Who does she think she is?? You did a fantstic job there, and i know she would be very greatful for all you have done. THANKYOU xx

[@ClaireSpace25]

I think both the township and the mailperson were out of line. The mailperson could have spoken to the homeowner, and would have found out she was elderly and she could have just encouraged the homeowner to get the hedges trimmed. She did not have to file a complaint against the homeowner. The township should have come out to the homeowner's house to assess the nature of the complaint and suggest how she could make her hedges neater, or options in lawn care companies. It would seem that people are too quick to cast judgement and think the worst of others before finding out the reasons for someone's behaviour (or in this case, a lack of upkeep). Humans, we need to do better by and for each other.

[@bitteroldman2714]

I'd file a complaint with the postmaster and on up the chain of command about the mail lady trying to be the ordinance police instead of just doing her job. Probably wouldn't do any good but I'd do it anyway.

[@lizl6606]

That may have happened if anyone cared about each other and that's the problem lack of caring for each other

[@oraleecoran8407]

I just do not understand how those hedges had anything to with mail delivery. It doesn't appear that they are blocking the mail box in any way. Good thing you found out about this situation! You were able to trim the hedges very nicely and made an elderly lady's day better😀💜

Hello oralee

[@acidreflux2182]

The world is such a messed up place where people complain as apposed to helping or showing concern! Good on you Erik! The world needs more people like you ❤️🙏

I wish ppl these days would give more compliments than complaints. Thank you for your help!👍👍

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Amen to that! Complaining is just easier

[@mississippigirl]

These videos make me realize how blessed I am to live in a relatively small town. Their neighbors, as well as local churches, help the elderly and disabled to maintain their property. I appreciate that you help the people where you live. You make a difference! Thank you!

[@losalinenewport9652]

Wow, what a big difference...thank you for helping this lady out. Keep doing what you love!!

[@emeesu905]

I agree. Of what authority does the mailperson have to complain about someones bushes? If she has to deliver packages and doesn't feel safe within the area, then she should leave a card to that affect. Sheesh. Just like an HOA. NOT.

[@taichichuansifurob]

Three are some many issues with what is happening now in our society. We seem to have lost a great deal of simple communication and compassion for and with others. Eric is an example of what people used to be, a neighbor/person that would be there to put away trash cans left by the curb, help if a dog got loose, look out for those who need help. There are people out there like Eric and we need to hear more about people like him. Stay well and thank you Eric.

[@maryrussell2370]

Why can’t people just let others alone? Beautiful job. I remember my dad standing on a picket board between 2 A frame ladders trimming 100 year old privet hedge. He sure would have loved your tools. 😊

They need a new mail carrier! Or one that can talk to the lady to help her understand why the bushes were an issue! SMH!

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Communication is everything, I agree

[@rebeccajohnson8579]

It's truly ashamed that the neighbor's don't help out, when necessary, this is what neighborhoods should do, if they want their community to look a certain way! HELP OUT WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS cannot AFFORD to hire the professionals, needed to maintain her yard!

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Appreciate you, not sure it was on the neighbors, but I agree Neighbors should help one another but folks also need to ask

[@rebeccajohnson8579]

@@OutdoorswithErik You are so RIGHT ON, but some individuals find it VERY HARD to ask .... and I am one of those individuals! What's so weird is that when I see someone in need or need help with something, I automatically offer! Truth is, there are NOT many good people around like you who GO UP, KNOCK on a door & ask if its OK to take care of their overgrown yard! By the way the last time I ask, they said that I would have to pay a price that I could NOT afford! ) - ;

Hi Erik As always another great video. Surprising how a simple trimming produces such amazing results. Again thanks for being such a blessing to your community. I can't do things to the extent that you do. But you encourage me to do what I can. I had a neighbor who's A/C guit working and I was able to give her a fan for the few days it took to fix it. Kindness is always a plus . Praying strength for you to be able to keep doing what you do. I've been telling others to check out your channel. Will be looking for the next episode

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Thanks so much, thanks for helpiing your neighbors!

[@walterj8150]

The township was tripping on this lady for nothing. If she is not in the town she can let her hedges grow as long as she wants. Nice trimming Erik as always. BTW I realized your was not helping you, but he is back in school now. 🙂. Take Care and Stay Safe and Hydrated 💦

I think they were way out of line, gone are the days when someone would just ask if everything is OK, and does someone need a hand, rather than just complaining to the township, we never know what someone is going through, unless we ask. You guys have done such an amazing job here, and you can tell just how thankful she is for what you've done, so well done.

I understand that sometimes the mailboxes may be hard to reach, BUT in this instance, I didn't notice the overgrown hedges were obstructing the mail delivery. We sometimes need to ask ourselves if their is anyway we can help mankind instead of being quick at complaining about an issue, we don't know if that homeowner had a hardship and had been unable to trim the hedges........Thank God we have people like you to help out, bless you❣️

[@lucygonzalez2591]

Nice job Eric,your awesome to help out the elderly,thanks.

[@barbhanson4915]

To bad the mail lady didn't start a go fund me to help this older woman? I guess with the time it took to fill out a complaint about her bushes and file it she couldn't find the time to help her with a go fund me or contact the senior center to see if someone could help her? Or possibly put something on her local Craigslist for elderly in need of help, but instead let's fine the old woman. This is what makes America strong 💪. Great job Eric. Thank you for all your help.

Hi Erik, you are putting the finishing touches on that hedge! I didn't think it looked that bad to begin with. Postal Carrier complained? Maybe he or she could have come by on the weekend to help this woman? When I was growing up there would always be teenagers going around knocking on doors to ask if someone needed anything done. Like cut the grass etc. Aren't they out there anymore? My arms would have fallen off in the first 5 minutes Erik. You just kept plowing through like it was nothing! Great job!

I live in a small town too and here's what I still haven't been able to figure out. People like this elderly woman are being harassed about the height of her hedges and their yards. But you can look all around the town and see city property some of which the city has taken away from the owner. The grass, weeds along with all the other trash is hundreds times worst but no one says anything about that. Within a four block area less than a mile from my house are no less than 12 homes that have burned and should have been torn down two or three years ago. But because the city owns them absolutely nothing has been done. Kids play in and around these properties and have been injured but still nothing has done.

I have similar bushes at the front of my house. They get quite sparse in winter but once spring hits they get out of control quickly!
