This Yard Needed some SERIOUS Work | Garden Restoration Episode
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- You won't believe this remarkable yard transformation video. So I went around to this customer's place to do a quote, and she basically asked me for a bit of a “tidy up” of her yard to get it looking ok for spring and summer. But when I saw the backyard, I then realised that it needed much more than a tidy up, it needed some major renovation. I did a quote, but as seems to be happening a lot lately, it was just a little too much for the customer. Once again, I offered her a deal that she couldn't refuse - a discounted price for a full yard cleanup! The young lady in question is a busy school teacher and just hasn't had the time over the winter to get out into her yard on the weekends, which is fair enough. That's where I come in, I'm here to get it back into shape, and hopefully, she will have it all under control moving forward. I spent around 12 hours on this job, with over 2 trips to the landfill included.

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.

Please read the FAQs in the description before posting a question. I answer many common questions there.
It is so nice to see someone actually gardening, pulling weeds and not cutting the grass to the dirt. Knowing which plants to leave and not denuding the garden. Nicely done,
Ditto. You're still my favorite international landscaper.
Good day George.
Have you been watching a certain American Channel?
Jim's Mowing is quite a reputable company. It's a franchise. They are bloody brilliant.
Leveled, repaired. trimmed, cleared, cleaned and more, everything done to perfection......always. Every job is a masterpiece. I LOVE your channel. You are a treat to watch.
It was good to see you hand weeding and taking such care in the garden. I’ve stopped watching gardeners who just go in and annihilate everything. It looked great when you finished! I’m sure the homeowner was thrilled! Great work! Look forward to seeing you next week! 😊❤
I know what you mean. I watched a gardener decimate a Mondo Grass yesterday, nearly cried. Obviously he has no idea about different types of grasses. 🥲
🤗🥰🙋♂️
It qlwill grow again obviously 😢
Thank you, George, for regularly uploading satisfying contents for us. You are the only one whose video on cleaning that I never fast forward nor skip some parts because it is very satisfying to watch the transformation. I love the way you tidy up the place and remove/arrange the clutter aside from mowing and trimming the plants. Your FREE service is as good as your paid projects. More power and all the best to more subscribers here in your QCV2 channel. I prefer this over the one with music.
You get the reward for the most meticulous yard guy ever! So detailed. You're worth whatever you charge. The fact you do this for these people in need for next to nothing makes you quite a blessing. Thank you!
I love how you are prepared and willing to fix broken things in your customer's yards. Way above and beyond what most would do. Thank you!
This is why you have so many watching you do your garden clean up. You come prepared even with a ladder! 👍
When you've finished with everything it shows how once the person kept it nice (some).
George, once again the only thing I can come up with is, AN EXCELLENT JOB! 💯👍😎
George amazes me too lol! His arsenal of tools are fantastic and always prepared ❤
Thank you George! What a beautiful property and your hard work was appreciated! Great video as always ❤
Never get bored of your videos George. Always and I do mean always very entertaining.
Thank you George.
What I like about you is you're not afraid to get down on your knees to clean up the flower beds. Great detail!
George, let me express to you that you know exactly how to bring new life to wherever you put your talents to work. It is a great pleasure to see your skills.
I think that is how professional gardening should look like. Very impressive. There's no detail left behind.
George another fantastic job! I seen you; trim trees, remove trees, edge, mow, get rid of rubbish, power wash, and even repair stuff! You're the man!
I love the decisive way you garden. You know exactly what to do, you don't him and all about it. You just whack it back. Excellent job thanks for sharing
Yey! You did it again, Mighty George! 👍👏 The clean surroundings will surely make your customer feel the calmness, peace and joy. You really have golden hands when it comes to yard clean ups and transformation. ❤👍👏
I’m proud to subscribe to your channel. You do fantastic work and I throughly enjoy watching it.
Nice, thank you 🙂
This tidy up project gives new meaning to the word clean up. As always you give 110 % to a job. Bravo!!
I really like how you fix things that you don't have to, I'm sure the customers really appreciate it!!
I don't know how you find all the "distressed" yards you deal with, George, but this one was an absolute peach! It had literally everything: tree trimming, garden bed weeding (by hand, no less ... yay, for you!), lawn mowing, whipper snipping, hedge trimming. It even had a garden hose to be untangled and neatly re-coiled (I just loved that bit). Not to mention all the pallets and stuff needing a new home at a recycling facility (heh ... or the landfill, eh?)! Talk about one heck of a satisfying yard restoration ... perfect along with breakfast on a lazy (for me) Saturday morning. Just one question for you: the small trees with the red fruit ... would those be pomegranates? Thank you so much for the terrific work that you do! 😊
Hi Pat, thank you, ill need to get back to you on the red fruit. The owner did tell me, but I've forgotten, i will find out today. They are some type of exotic, but ill update later 🙂
Thank you, George. What I’m finding is that Hobart and other Australian coastal cities have climates similar to that in San Francisco Bay Area. So if I see something in your videos that looks interesting, chances are that it might grow here as well.
@@patkcalifornia924 Hi Pat, it a Tamarillo🙂
Thank you, George. Really appreciate this!@@QCV2
G’day George! What a beautiful transformation. You work so hard young man and pay such attention to detail. How kind to help people when they are struggling, what a great guy you are. I could tell you a huge secret but it would only freak you out so I’ll keep it to myself. Blessings from England 💜
Well, hopefully it's good news 🌞
Well it’s good for me but like I said before it would totally freak you out! Have a great night George 🌷
What a beautiful little yard. You hard work restored it to the peaceful outside world for the home owner to enjoy. It is extremely satisfying to watch you actually pulling weeds, and cleaning out the garden beds. Continued blessings to you. I will keep watching., just keep posting.
I love all the little extras you do for people you really take pride in your work
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You do amazing work. I just love watching you transform these yards into beautiful yards
George, fantastic work👏🏻👏🏻🏆⭐️ The yard/garden looks 100% better. Keep up the good work. Georgetown Texas
Oh, what a Glorious Transformation, George. From Beginning to End ... Your attention to Detail is SO Amazing to See. From grabbing the Drill .. to make that Flowerbed WOOD Piece , stay in Place to Trimming of those Flowering Trees Etc. ETC., It Shows just how Meticulous a Detailer, You are. I'm sure this Very Busy Lady was in Awe at seeing How Wonderful, her Backyard & Garden, Looks Now❕~Laurie Ann 👏
Thank you 🥰
You always do such a lovely job! Love watching you! Thank you for working so well with people’s budgets too. What a blessing you are. Good work!❤
Hey, I caught a new video! I used to watch your work and thought how harsh you were, now I wonder you don't cut back more harshly! Great work George! ❤
If you had the time some of the neighbor's bushes could have been removed permanently. Taking up too much space on your client's property.
You are the very best when it comes to a complete clean up. Great job.
Fantastic job George but why do people plant trees so close to their fences, crazy.
Usually the result of people buying shrubs because they look cute in a two litre pot at the garden centre with no idea what they're going to grow into.
Wow!! Your tidying up of this yard elevated it to prime real-estate!. Now it is totally decluttered and is a yard that says, I'm beautiful. I am a place to be proud of and relax in. Not unfinished business.
I love it. I'm sure the home owner does too. Great work!
George I don’t know how you do it but your videos just keep getting better and better!!!! This garden transformation was absolutely gorgeous!!! I love the long videos too!! I could watch you all day! You’re by far my favorite cld on UA-cam 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. I can’t wait for next weeks video!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful transformation. More than just a tidy up. You did a lot of work touching up everything in the yard.
George, you always go above and beyond. A really nice job. You put everything into your makeovers. Looks lovely 😊
You gave that garden a good trim and a great clean up to lovely place when you got done 👍✅🌹😊
I watch you doing yard restoration all the time. During meal time, relaxation and even during my workout. Lol I can’t stop. You do the best work I have ever seen. I’m so impress with your work ethic 😃. Thank you George. Btw I enjoy yard work too. We have a beautiful yard, in my opinion, and I do most of it 😂.
Once I saw your yard transformations it has become impossible to watch other lawn care people. My favorite thing you do is haul away the junk and all the yard waste. Pristine. ❤️
Great job! One of my favorite transformations!! I'm sure they were thrilled! Always look forward to your videos.
From Missouri USA
I love your attention to details. Fixing the "little things "
What a wonderful job! The place looks beautiful.
Just a suggestion, could you include some of the names of these plants, trees, and flowers?
You use to do that in some of your earlier videos.
Thank you, ill try my best. The only thing is I don't know a lot of the names, I'm still learning myself 🙂
always a pleasure watching you bring a garden back from an overgrown state. I'm sure the owner will remember your kindness and hard work.
Never ever change that little silver can. It's your signature. 👍🏾🙂 From the state of Illinois in the U. S.
Sir first of all I commend you. You are awesome. Your wife would get a hat tip and praise because she really chose a really good mate. Sir you are my favorite person to do this work. I'm from the states. Bless you and your family. Keep up the top level work.
Man what a fine job you do & no messes left behind. You are to be commended. Bravo!!!
Great work George. Beautiful and you’re caring for your customer!!
Stellar results!
You did an AWESOME job! It looked 100% better when you were finished than it did when you first started.
You do real good work you have my endorsement for sure 😊
Never disappointed with your hardwork and attention to detail.
Definitely needed more than a ‘tidy up’ and you did a beautiful job. Good work
A wonderful yard transformation, George! Well done. It is a shame though that the neighbor's hedge is obviously intruding and wrecking the fence.
The yard didn't seem terrible at 1st, but once you started the beautification process you could see how much work was needed.
The meticulous, detailed work you do George, is really a beautiful sight to behold. This yard is really a gorgeous garden now thanks to you!😊
Beautiful work
Good job
Great job as always George, garden looks a hole lot bigger now.
I was enjoying the process of refinding the yard when you hit the heavily overgrown back corner. That became massive ivy, Blackberry brambles.... You have been regaining space, form, design. Taking out the tree stump was a nice extra. This went from a Tidy-Up to a Restoration. You gave back the space and form. Thank you.
Greetings from Powell, Ohio in the USA! I absolutely love every one of your episodes! Keep up the outstanding work, George! I❤
You're making friends for life with your generosity. Out of control yards are stressful.
Awesome job as always, George! That was a complete 180 degree transformation. Look forward to seeing you on the next one! 🙏🏼💜
Another beautiful job George, such a pleasure to watch you work, you are a makeover champion😊
Beautiful job on this yard, George! It looks amazing 👏
Awesome job George. That was more then just a tyding up, I don't believe this lady would have the equipment you have to do what you did, and did it exceptional well. 👍👍👍👍👍👍😉🇺🇸
Absolutely gorgeous you did an outstanding job I’m sure the homeowner was definitely pleased!
Great job on this yard. Looking forward to your next video. Have a blessed day
That looks so nice, George! What a treat of a yard!
Absolutely incredible transformation & your efforts of detail in her flower beds incredible. You are great❤
You do such a wonderful job when you clean up and tidy! Those 2 screws you put in were like icing on the cake! I have to put this on pause and go to work myself, but will watch the finish when I get home! Thanks for all you do!
Beautiful transformation 👍🏻👍🏻
Wow! I can't imagine the cost of having something like this done! Great work.
I always enjoy watching you clean up properties.
Another wonderful finished product. What a great start to a new season for the homeowner.
This was a fantastic video and I am definitely going to save it to watch again! Amazing work; it looks awesome.
Beautiful work ❤❤❤
I’d have to say George, out of all the lawn mowing & garden channels on UA-cam, yours is the best. I just like the way you go the extra mile with things , like fixing that board on the end of the garden bed, it’s those little extras that you do that make it a pleasure to watch. Keep up the great work mate 😊
George, you are worth every cent paid. This is a beautiful yard after you did your magic. God bless and keep you in good health ❤
You never disappoint, George! Brilliant work! The house and the garden look really cute. I always wonder, how many bushes are growing in Tasmanian gardens.
Most of Tasmania has beautiful rich soil, hence all the bushes and trees.
Great transition from messy to neat and tidy.
What a lovely yard, thanks for giving it a chance to grow and thrive. Great cleanup as always. Just charming results.
Absolute beautiful job!!❤
Just simply beautiful transformation!
George you allways do a fine job fellow landscaper 40 years!!! always feels good when you leave a place looking nice and tidy!!!!
I love that you fix things that you find broken. in this episode it was an edge of the garden bed but I've seen you repair gates and steps too. My Dad was like you, he'd be doing work at someone's house for his job but would run across something unrelated that would only take a few minutes to fix and he would do it. People who can't (or don't know how to) fix things really appreciate it when someone who does makes that little bit of extra effort to help them out. Most companies won't come out to do such little jobs since it isn't worth their time but it's still something that needs to get done. I think it's great that you make the effort ❤
You do an amazing job, I love the way you explain what you’re doing and the plants and trees you’re trimming! Again, thank you for the detailed work you do, I’m sure each homeowner appreciates the job you do! I’m from the states so it’s fun to watch people across the globe doing the same work we do here (I’m in Kentucky)
Just beautiful! You have such a good eye for what needs to be done! I’m sure the client is thrilled! Fantastic transformation! Thanks for the great video!
George, you’re a wonderful person.
I like how you tidy something, then clean up. That way cleaning up your cleanup shouldn’t be that overwhelming. What you take on just being one person is staggering sometimes. The miles you must make. 😃
A master at work. I love seeing the work you put in and the beautiful results. Ca t wait to see what you have coming up next.❤❤❤
I'm still catching up on all your videos. I enjoy your way of cleaning up, small sections at a time. I think it's much more fluid. Thanks again. ☮️🧚♀️💜 From California USA.
" Loved the outcome ....plus you got paid for your hard work 👍👍.. bring on the next one."
It's those little things you do George that bring joy to people . Because it's unexpected.
This was a particularly satisfying video to watch because it was obviously a garden that someone had loved when it was planted. It had good bones and just needed a thorough tidy up which it certainly got. The before and after shots were lovely and you did a fabulous job, not too little, not too much. You have a knack for knowing how much to trim, and the balance is always spot on at the end. Bravo George, enjoyed this one. 🥰👍
I hope she was thrilled with the results! I know I would be. Great job George!!
Love that you give info on the screen like "asked neighbors first" Good luck with your channel
You have much to be proud of. I love watching you work. Well done.
You always do an excellent job George!
Heck of a job George! I’m in the US. It’s a pleasure to listen to you talk & see the differences in landscape & yards.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ the video with you giving your client a discount 👍👍👍💯💯💯
you even unraveled their hoses, what extra work you do is amazing.
You always motivate me to mow my grass!❤
Absolutely wonderful result. I know you can’t do everything but it’s a shame all those bushes growing all over the fences couldn’t be removed permanently. The tree on the side of the house against the neighbor’s white wall is in a ridiculous location. Who plants a tree where there’s practically no walking room?
Loved this video
I love the way that when you work on a section of the garden, you clean up as you go. Very tidy indeed. You know your plants 🪴 shrubs and trees 🌳 😉. God bless you 🙏 George. Keep up the good works. Máire from Connemara, Co. Galway. Ireland 🇮🇪 ☘️ ☘️ ☘️
I love the methodical way in which you work, one smallish area at a time. You do a wonderful job.❤❤
I find it fascinating that you know what to cut and what not to cut. You have a great eye.
This is one of the best that you've done. It was a little bit of everything going on. Great job, George
