PART 1..YOU won't BELIEVE what the CITY DID, WE fixed it for FREE

I had knocked on the door of this house while the grass was still tall and no one answered. I went back 5 days later, and the city had beat me to mowing the lawn. As you can see, after being mowed, the yard didn't look much better than when the grass was standing tall. The owners mother had lived in the home but recently passed away. He was currently focusing his funds on the inside and just didn't have the necessary tools to clean up the outside. I'm glad I stopped and offered to help. His comment was, "now it is something I can manage." While cleaning this yard, its was close to 90 degrees and humid. I was very fortunate that my 15 year old son Levi offered to come help me with this yard. I decided to pull the plug about 5 hours in and go back a second time to finish due to the extreme heat. Check out next weeks video as well to see me tackle "the BEAST" still in his yard. As always, we can all "Leave a Mark".

Great dad and son team. God bless you both

[@LeavingAMarkOutdoors]

He's a great kid, he also plays sports and works at the local restaurant across the street. Self discipline is a great thing!

[@donnamitchell7707]

Fantastic job Mark,and Levi. Have a great day my friend ❤️🙂⚘️🚜.

[@LeavingAMarkOutdoors]

appreciate you Donna

[@donnamitchell7707]

@@LeavingAMarkOutdoors I wish we had people like yourself helping seniors, and disabled people's lawns up here in Ontario, Canada. It's very satisfying to see a beautiful yard cleaned up. I just hate seeing the poison ivy in yards. That's how you can tell if the yard has been unkempt for a while. 🙂⚘️.

[@Susanne-v7w]

Excellent!!! BRAVO!!! Waiting for part Tw0!!!

[@LeavingAMarkOutdoors]

Coming soon!

[@trudifruty6078]

You two did a great job can’t wait to see part two

[@yohhon]

Great job guys

[@brucesimpson8579]

A good yard clean-up collab would involve Leaving A Mark Outdoors, Outdoors With Eric, Midlife Stockman. The property would have to be big since all three channels can do a lot of work in a short period of time.

[@SFHCommish_1]

That would be awesome, but chances are all three of them would wind up with three different complainers taken up about 40 minutes of their time arguing with them over some stupid item or idiotically blathering about some supposed law or what have you. 🤣

[@LeavingAMarkOutdoors]

LOL, here's the thing, the video makes it look like a short period of time, but we were about 5 hours into the yard so far, probably another 4-5 hours for part 2 and I can't imagine what part 3 will bring. Will be calling Outdoors with Erik and the big boy equipment for part 3...stay tuned

[@t.y.5565]

And Al Bladez!

[@Doogie_Causey]

Thanks Mark! Thanks Levi!

[@LeavingAMarkOutdoors]

Were glad we could help.

[@yvonnebrown2342]

Looking forward to part two

[@middlefork6530]

You too seem to make a great team. Please take time and get yourself some bright colored shirts when you pick up the safety cones. It might be nice to get some gloves for your son.

[@kennethpearce5607]

Mark You and Levi did a great job so good to see family work together God Bless Ya"ll

[@LeavingAMarkOutdoors]

And Levi had to go to his dish washing job that night too.... Great kid!

[@MelanieFayJohnson]

So very kind of you to help out and improve the neighborhood....thanks to you and your son for all the hard work....take care....all the best....

Great job! 👏

Thanks

[@pwitherspoon100]

Love seeing your son working with you! Too many young people grow up without any guidance. Wonderful job!

[@LeavingAMarkOutdoors]

My wife and I are very active in our kids lives, support them in everything they do..

[@gbach_seven]

BAN CORNER PROPERTIES 😆👍😆👍😆👍😆👍😆 Here, again, Mark shows what a corner lot requires. Don’t buy a corner lot if you don’t have the tools, the time, or the money to maintain it. Good intentions doesn’t get the job done. Your hard work benefitted the owner and neighbors. Bravo! 🏠🇨🇦🌿

[@ronkistner2672]

why do people just let their place go to crap

[@jsimmons5862]

That is one hard working son you have there! And so enthusiastic about his working with you. I know you are very proud of him.

[@LeavingAMarkOutdoors]

Absolutely, great kid!

[@lanesummers6516]

I'm really impressed with the time and care you take to the details then you have your son's help you anything done with family becomes more special and you'll realize that as time goes by

[@richardharms8748]

[@lydialedbetter2041]

THANK YOU for leaving all the hostas and veregated ground ivy. It breaks my heart to watch yard guys cut down all the flowers !!! You are a real thoughtful man. ❤❤❤

[@LeavingAMarkOutdoors]

I try to work around plants when I can!

[@KelleeYouPersonalOracle]

Gorgeous work!

[@LeavingAMarkOutdoors]

[@kimmiller7539]

What a difference you guys made for someone else in need of help. Great job! Your son can gain some experience in equipment and these life skills that he can use out in the world. You get do a great thing for your community along side your dad! That's so cool!😊❤

[@LeavingAMarkOutdoors]

Thanks for the kind words!!

[@AlexaLake7]

I hope someone sent photos to the Mayor of the mess the City left on that property! Simply complaining to the department that created the mess isn't going to correct the problematic incompetence. You and your son have done a good job so far.

[@LeavingAMarkOutdoors]

Great idea!! will send, watch for parts 2 and 3... will be dramatic changes

[@antoinettehardy905]

I wonder if people get to the point where they don't care about their yard? I wish you had left the daylillies unless they said get rid of everything. Oh well! You and Levi did a very good job!🙂

[@LeavingAMarkOutdoors]

The hostas and day Lilly will grow back quickly..

Can't believe you used a perfectly good chainsaw for edging!

[@lynnkurth3475]

Great job guys thanks

[@LeavingAMarkOutdoors]

THANKS

[@berkleywoman]

A blade trimmer would work better than a string trimmer for the woody stalks & vines also you should get one of those battery hand saws to use instead of that big chain saw on those small trees. Along with orange cones & high viz vests you definitely need neck gaters & eye protection when weed eating & using the blower for you & Levi. Protecting yourselves should be top priority!

[@bellamichellejohnson8274]

Beautiful 😍

certainly doesn't look any better than when it was tall.

[@carolstough7534]

Nice job! But you needs hand cutter and tarp easier if you cut brush into smaller piece's and less need of chain saw. Worry about cutting wires.

You might want to pick up trash first. Your son does a great job! I can't bear to watch you whip up poison ivy leaves everywhere! Finally an American who knows the value of a grass catcher! Looks much better.....but the trash!

Shrub, or bush as you say, is only a shrub if it is under 4 feet?, don't get confused with out of control trees
