Boy ! Sean you have worked me almost to death on this one! I have helped you push and pull that root ! But it looks wonderfully perfect! I’m a subscriber from Alabama saying thanks for always going beyond what is really necessary.
Honestly, I had tears in my eyes when you got that hug and such appreciation from the woman. She was spot-on in her praise and appreciation, shared by the residents, and those of us watching. Keep up the good work, Sean, you are an amazing person.!
@@sharonbelisle550 I know, thought the same thing, BUT I think she thought it would be best to stay clear, all the cutting equipment, and broken glass, dirt flying everywhere. THE HUG HELPED HIM MORE THEN WE KNOW!!! Stay safe Sharon.😀✌️
@@sharonbelisle550if you listen what she said in the video you would know why she wasn't able to make it back in time and she did really want to help by the time she got there he was done and gone

Doing this helps Sean to maintain or replace some of the equipment he uses because it helps with the UA-cam algorithm to enable these videos to be seen by more people.

You are very inspiring. My boys love your channel and Saturday, without being asked, mowed our neighbors yard. Whoa! U have no idea how that makes my heart grow.
In most cities, the sidewalk is the owners responsibility - whomever owns this lot should have done this - or paid for it to be done. Though it might be different in his city. 🤷🏼♂️
@@jimtalbott9535huh…amusing. In Jakarta, anything past the fence (including the sidewalk) is govt or complex property, so sidewalks are not your responsibility at all. In fact, there are cases where the govvy just reworks it in their own (not necessarily better) way (like replacing a 45 degree entry ramp with a 90 degree entry ramp because they can’t be fucked to keep the old entry ramp in the name of cost cuts for more baksheesh)
That lady was so sweet to give you that hug!! She’s watching your videos just like me!! What nice appreciative people. You made it beautiful. Thank you.
It's great seeing the neighbors taking a minute to thank you and show their appreciation. The girl that wanted a hug was so sweet. She put a big smile on my face when she couldn't get out enough good words about you. !!!!! She is the perfect example of how the world should be!
That looks phenomenal! Not only did you open the sidewalk back up for the people in that neighborhood, you took away a spot of blight that makes the whole neighborhood look unsafe. Overgrown sidewalks, unkempt properties just invite trouble. Study's have shown that crime doesn't like it when it doesn't have places to hide. Clean well kept areas tend to have less crime overall. So you literally helped make the neighborhood safer. It's not my neighborhood, but I thank you all the same.
That area had to be ignored for a long time for that vegetation to get that big and thick. So glad you saw it and did something about it. Not only does it add to the beauty of the area and become usable it might inspire more good endeavors. Thank you! As they say, you are a blessing!
The city should be ashamed of themselves for letting the sidewalk get that way. Great job Sean. You are such a blessing to your community. Much love and blessings to you! 😊
This city remind me Baltimore . " I would like to know where the 1 billion dollars Obama gave to the city between 2008 and 2016 went ? On the ground , I see no improvement ." When we have a leftist mayor , a leftist police head , and leftist top judges ,we know the city is going down . Look at Montreal , now that the mayor , a Soros chouchou is in.
The city is too busy sending out Code Enforcement Officers… as if we live in a communist country.. code enforcement out all over the country. Codes are NOT laws, tell them to get off your property they are trespassing.
Cities don't care! Tgey own tge area from the end of the grass to tge middle of the road. But home owners are responsible for taking care of it. They simply just keep fi ing the person until they can take the property. What is worse if neighbors who complain but won't help.tgey are directly affected by it being overgrown. After he clears it they should keep.it up.
All the people thinking it is such a good thing you’re doing ,but nobody wants to physically help clean it . God bless your efforts in all that you do.
I noticed that most of the neighbors don't edge their sidewalks. Maybe they see this and start edging. It doesn't look finished without edging sidewalks, driveways, etc..... Maybe they don't even know what an edger is.
@medicbabe2ID it does take a while to get your dog groomed because there's certain things that depend on it what breed the dog is and if the dog is feeling Cooperative that day to let the groomer do their work on them. Certain breeds have a lot of undercoat and I know that my mom's dog doesn't like the groomer doing her face and her legs.
@@DailyBrainIQ the city workers get paid and they don't do their job and if they do it's minimal effort, they also get benefits like guaranteed health insurance and pensions. Even then, you shouldn't have to get paid to help clean up YOUR own neighborhood that's just something good people do for free.
Amazing transformation Sean! So many people stopped by to say Thank You for cleaning that all up, you know they appreciated you beyond measure for doing that! Bless You!!❤️
How did you even know there was a sidewalk there!?! Yikes!! That neighborhood needs to thank their lucky stars you showed up!! Fabulous job as always. 😇😎🤗💖
🎉🎉Dude you ARE awesome! The drive, commitment n contrubution to give back to a neighborhood is incredible. I give you a standing ovation👏👏👏👏 Thank you from Texas! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! Another awesome clean-up. I can understand Mother Nature trying to reclaim the city but what I find disturbing is the humans dumping their garbage on a vacant property. They have no respect for their neighbors. Thank you again and thanks to all who stopped by to show their appreciation and support.❤❤♻️🌳
True. I started cleaning a small 3 block area next to my neighborhood last Fall. It was full of lots of trash and broken glass. It took me a long time to get it really looking good and now I go over there a couple of times a week to make sure it doesn't go back to the horrible state it was in. I even bought the block a 32 gallon rubber garbage can with a lid and bags to change out the full can periodically. I'm proud of how it looks now and a few neighbors have thanked me for my hard work. There r some who do keep their property nice, but there r a lot of large apartment buildings on these blocks with very little on-site maintenance or janitors to keep it clean. So many people don't take ownership and don't even seem to notice or care. I find that disheartening.
Why would they? I’m sure every bottle was alcohol and if you’re drinking that while walking, it’s doubtful you’re a taxpaying citizen of the community. The city showed them how to treat the property, they don’t deserve the blame, the city does.
It amazes me that the city passes out fines for your citizen's yards being over grown yet they don' t take care of the city's property - such as this side walk. I have lived in several parts of Europe and Canada and have never seen or even heard of a side walk that looks like this. The city should be ashamed. You are a true city hero for taking care of this for them.
You would think a representative of that district (or any district of any city) would drive their neighborhoods and at minimum have the city run out a crew and take a couple of hours to clean something like this up.
This is the property owners responsibility in every place Ive lived in several states. They really should have sent citations and then the city cleaned this up and put the bill on the property owners taxes or a lien. But this is not something the city would maintain in most US cities
Celebrate Sean and his giant, caring heart…bring the kids to this sidewalk and pass out sidewalk CHALK and let them say thank you by adorning the cement with art, drawings, signs and words of thanks and praise. This neighborhood is lucky to have a Sean living amongst them. You did an amazing, amazing (100 times) amazing job! Thanks for sharing it with the world.😊
@@MaryBurnett-u9iThat's not exactly fair: the average person doesn't have the skills or equipment to tackle a project like this. Maybe someone could lead a grassroots effort through their neighborhood association to tackle problems like this before they reach hazardous conditions like this. Also, helping out the elderly who want to stay in their homes but are challenged to keep up with neighborhood codes. Nice job. I always appreciate these clean ups.
@@nancychiavetta1351 I think that a lot of the time, people don't realize how bad it's getting, how far behind the maintenance is falling, until the problem's too big for someone who lacks the skills or equipment to handle. Once someone like this gem of a man comes in and cleans it up, I hope that the neighborhood can step up and prevent it from ever getting so bad again!
@@MidlifeStockmanHey Sean, My husband and I found your doppleganger on a hiking trail at Glacier National Park in Montana while on vacation last week. We told him to look for you on UA-cam. Who knows? Another potential follower like us! God bless and keep you strong. You’re surely blessing the ppl of your community. Let’s all get to work in whatever way we can to help those who need us. Your dad would be so proud of you. 😊
Hi Sean, you are one of the most tenacious and meticulous lawn man on UTube. When that sweet lady hugged you not only are you a true gentleman but quite loveable. Take care and thank you for your outstanding videos.
I don’t understand why your city doesn’t do this work. If not for you, it probably wouldn’t ever be done. I hope the appreciative neighbors keep an eye on things and keep the sidewalk clean for themselves. You work so very hard and I love watching your videos.
Many towns and cities in Michigan are financially broken and unable to support the infrastructure. Communities could start Adopt a Road campaigns for the residents to volunteer to maintain. It works in Florida.
Thank you, Midlife Stockman. Now kids and everyone can walk safely on the sidewalk again, instead the middle of the street. You can see how many people are happy with the work you do. God bless you, Sean!
I started watching a lot of these free landscape transformations. I only followed you. To do this alone with such dedication to community. I don't see you pandering like some others. 👏🏽 Even the properties you choose is incredible. i salute you sir.
The people that stopped to acknowledge what you do brought a smile to my face. God will definitely put you in the right places and spaces to bring glory to him. May God continue to bless you. Love you and your channel bunches❤🙏🏾
Sean you are such an inspiration! This here folks is how WE make American great again! Taking pride in our own homes, neighborhoods & communities. I appreciate your endless giving ❤
I remember when your channel was hitting the mid 60s and today you are at 255 thousand.🎉🎉 That' amazing!!! I've been following you since you started and you truly are the best yard transformation person on YT. Again, what sets you apart is that you truly care about what you do and that shows in your work ethic. Thank you for all you do!!!!❤️🌞🌻✌️
What a bunch of lovely people living in that neighborhood. Bless them for stopping and saying something nice. The words "Thank you" feels so good and goes a long way in life. The lady in orange was the cutest. You are so loved for the great work you do. ❤❤
I'm so glad people stopped by to tell you how they appreciated you and your work. We are blessed to have you in our world. Thank you for all you do to help others.
Just for the amount of garbage you removed.. thank you!! Bringing back that sidewalk, contributing the well being and safety for the neighborhood.. again thank you! Blessings!!♡
"After a long day I can say WE did it." Thank you for acknowledging our contribution....watching. 😉 I was thinking dynamite was going to be the only way you were going to uproot that stump. Good job, glad the neighbors appreciate your efforts. Everyone should subscribe as small way to improve our world.
I dont understand how this video doesnt have a billion views. The transformation was amazing! And the amount of people who stopped by to say thank you was awesome! You really brought some pride back to that neighborhood. I know those folks are grateful.
Sean, you are absolutely amazing!! The community is really starting to view you as their hero. You are changing the lives of the people that live around your projects every time you take on one of these jobs. Can you imagine how nice that seems for the neighborhood? I think someone had a serious drinking problem and was using the hidden spot in that jungle as a place to indulge and then just discarded the bottles on the ground.
My name is Annette too. I'm originally from Illinois. Have friends that lived in Michigan. I love what you do. I'm on a disability busget with 2 teenagers. I can't donate but wish I could help out. Keep the videos coming. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I guess since there were no vines, there had to be a root. That was one epic root battle! You won! Great job as always, Sean. Bless you for all you do.
The sitting counsel members should be embarrassed by the conditions of these sidewalks. And if a child is hit by a car from walking in the street because of the overgrown sidewalk, who's at fault? Great job Sean...
Perhaps this example of determination will inspire the locals to band together & clean up other blighted sites around the neighborhood & create a stronger sense of community. Nothing like talent, tools, & hard work.
You were correct. That was one of the worst but you did a great job. I know the neighborhood appreciates what you have done. Thank you for helping. God Bless you 😇❤❤❤❤❤
A Utube channel that cleans people’s homes recommended Sean’s channel. I had read about it in the comments before. I don’t remember the name of the cleaning channel.
I let out a loud cheer when you got that root out!🤣 Enjoy your videos. My husband passed in 2022 at 72 yrs old and he was so much like you when he was younger. For 45 years I watched him tackle properties, roots, vines, thorns, fences and numerous stingy things! 🙂
All the people from the neighborhood that came by to show their appreciation is so heartwarming to see. God bless them all and everyone using and enjoying the sidewalk you cleared for them Sean.
I'm sitting here wondering why it is I gravitate toward your videos more than everyone elses... It's your meticulous attention to detail. Your battle with "THE ROOT" is just one example of the pride you take in your work. Hauling away tons and tons of garbage is another. When you take on a property, you take it on for better or worse. And I love those sharp edges and crisp lines that you make with your edger. And I've noticed on more than one occasion that God definitely does work through you. He always seems to put you right where you need to be. You really DO put your heart into each project. Thank you very much for sharing your videos.
I love how that lady knew exactly who you were! Not just a lawncare youtuber, but specifically the gifts you gave the family to help them out. Nice work!
Brother, I gotta say. You are an inspiration to me. I'm in Northwest Georgia. We have a nasty hurricane heading our way. I needed to mow my yard b4 it hits. But I'm on disability and with a kinda bad heart. But after watching your episodes. It gave me the inspiration to get outside and git-r-done 😂😂. Thank you for blessing these families, I pray for your safety. You are definitely a God send , and a true blessing to a lot of people. Thank you for what you do.
Your family and friends don’t forget neighbors are so proud of you. You are THE MAN. Keep doing what you do and keep being Blessed. Stay Strong in what you do. Bless you young man. Big fan from Alabama 😊.
Everyone talking about how lazy the city is for neglecting the sidewalk, but let me draw your attention to that *drain*. That's what really gets me. That drain was unrecognizable and that is stupid. Thank you for giving your time to make such an awesome change in the community
It really rankles me that everybody wants to tell you what a good job you're doing but nobody wants to stop and help! I may be 72 years old but I know how to pick up a bottle!! You're a good man Sean!!!!
This was quite a challenge! But, of course, you did it!! So nice of all the folks stopping by, appreciating what you were doing!! Congratulations!! Thank you Sean!!!
That was a lot of hard work. It is wonderful the local community showed you so much love and appreciation. And to the woman who stopped and gave Sean a hug, thank you.
God bless you Sean. I'm a fan from a very far place, here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. You do it all alone on the road...but of course with big support from your family...your wife for cleaning all the dirty shirts that you bring back, your lovely daughter who doesn't forget to bring coffee (Starbucks) for her daddy, and your son for checking out on you once in awhile on the phone...and take care of your back.
I live in the UK. There has been a recent story - the council have neglected to upkeep the public areas just like this. Locals got together to clean up their city. The council threatened to sue them because they said it was vandalism. The group leader was taking the rubbish home and adding it to her household rubbish. She was told she couldn't dispose of other people's rubbish without a licence and that she would be arrested if she continued to do so. You, and everyone like you, make such a huge difference. You do exactly what should be done by councils.
That's what government wants. They don't want us caring for our own community because when that happens, we realize just how much control they have over us and then we realize we don't need government in every aspect of our lives. We become a threat to their existence.
Sean, the sidewalk looks so good, it was so nice the people in the neighborhood stopped by to thank you for everything you do. It's such a great blessing everytime you clean up and repair property helping people out. God bless you Sean, God bless your Family's
Wow! What a transformation. It's crazy to think that as a kid growing up in Seattle the city workers would come out and trim any overgrowth that covered or blocked the sidewalk and this was before HOA's existed! My how times have changed where the city no longer does this as a safety precaution to pedestrians!
Yeah, that city asking for a lawsuit. I wonder what is in that jungle off of that sidewalk you cleared out? Maybe a lot more garbage and evidence of illicit activities.
Thank you😊, also Thank you to your family for sharing your time with us. Transforming properties is your passion, which gives us pure enjoyment as we watch you transform these properties and bring life back into them.
You do great work!!! I would have been that sweet lady who gave you a hug if I lived in Michigan. ♥️ You work so hard that a better mower could save you lots of energy. I know they’re expensive but in your case would be well worth the investment. ☺️
Midwest Magic Cleaning recommended you on his channel and when the algorithm sent me here, I had to watch. Good job, sir. That job deserves all the thanks it received from the community. I have friends who live in New Orleans East and abandoned lots like that are a blight on the neighborhood and attract crime. It might not be a permanent solution, but they can rest easy for a few years, and that's worth it.
Thank God now the children will be able to walk on a sidewalk instead of the street. You just made it safer for them. Plus the adults too. What a huge difference.❤😊
You won a lot of hearts doing this video doing that sidewalk. You are so blessed right now with the community in that neighborhood, I love it how they show their appreciation
Looks like you need to add an ax to your tools for harder tree removals. The sidewalk hasn’t seen the day of light in a long time. Now makes the neighborhood looks amazing again. Now kids can be safe on the the whole sidewalks.
One of the best things about the work you do is taking care of so much trash. The gardening is great (!!) But the removing of trash affects so much more in the long run. Thank you for that!
Your channel has quickly become my favorite landscaping/yard cleanup channel to watch. I love your energy and can't believe some of the jobs you tackle -- like this one. Your city is lucky to have you. Much love from 🇨🇦.
Sean, like so many others. I have watched practically every transformation you've posted here on UA-cam. But this one I felt was just extra special, in that, I watched it a second time. This has gotta be one of my top favorite channels when it comes to lawn transformations and the like. Keep up the great work We all really love what you do....
Amazing transformation went from a Jungle to a clean sidewalk and safety for the residents of the neighborhood. Thank you so very much for caring and doing God’s work, God Bless you and your family from an ole lady in Texas. So glad I came across your channel awhile back. Love the work you do.
one person reversed years of neglect in just one day. it's amazing what people can do when they care. thank you for caring.
Super ✌️✊️👋
Thank you for transforming the sidewalk jungle!

Nice job. I always appreciate these clean ups.
@@nancychiavetta1351 I think that a lot of the time, people don't realize how bad it's getting, how far behind the maintenance is falling, until the problem's too big for someone who lacks the skills or equipment to handle. Once someone like this gem of a man comes in and cleans it up, I hope that the neighborhood can step up and prevent it from ever getting so bad again!
@@redwitch12Thanks! I think we both just said the same thing!
@@MaryBurnett-u9i Nor offer to help. Even just help drag branches and debris away.
And this, my friend, is why Sean has 255K subscribers! Congratulations to him for making such a difference!!!
Thank you!! Super appreciate the support.
@@MidlifeStockmanHey Sean, My husband and I found your doppleganger on a hiking trail at Glacier National Park in Montana while on vacation last week. We told him to look for you on UA-cam. Who knows? Another potential follower like us! God bless and keep you strong. You’re surely blessing the ppl of your community. Let’s all get to work in whatever way we can to help those who need us.
Your dad would be so proud of you. 😊
We are now at 292k 😀 we are growing
@@nellyaura5439 376k now!
As of today, 383k. Growing really fast
Always a great blessing to watch this great man help his neighbors..God Bless you..
If those bottles were collectable you would be rich. Thank you Sean for making each block safe and enjoyable. God bless you🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi Sean, you are one of the most tenacious and meticulous lawn man on UTube. When that sweet lady hugged you not only are you a true gentleman but quite loveable. Take care and thank you for your outstanding videos.
People see you as a man with a Godly heart!
Why am I smiling everytime someone stops by to appreciate and be grateful of what you do? God bless you!
I would probably run up and hug you, too. You go above and beyond, and you do it mostly alone. Amazing, ❤❤ I have the utmost respect for you.
✅👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
I wouldn’t HUG him knowing he could be getting into poison ivy or something while cutting/mowing stuff lol
@@sarahrawlinson6271 Ha ha ha, yeah give 'remote' hugs! But with all respect!
I don’t understand why your city doesn’t do this work. If not for you, it probably wouldn’t ever be done. I hope the appreciative neighbors keep an eye on things and keep the sidewalk clean for themselves. You work so very hard and I love watching your videos.
Many towns and cities in Michigan are financially broken and unable to support the infrastructure. Communities could start Adopt a Road campaigns for the residents to volunteer to maintain. It works in Florida.
Thank you, Midlife Stockman. Now kids and everyone can walk safely on the sidewalk again, instead the middle of the street. You can see how many people are happy with the work you do. God bless you, Sean!
I started watching a lot of these free landscape transformations. I only followed you. To do this alone with such dedication to community. I don't see you pandering like some others. 👏🏽 Even the properties you choose is incredible. i salute you sir.
The people that stopped to acknowledge what you do brought a smile to my face. God will definitely put you in the right places and spaces to bring glory to him. May God continue to bless you. Love you and your channel bunches❤🙏🏾
Sean you are such an inspiration! This here folks is how WE make American great again! Taking pride in our own homes, neighborhoods & communities. I appreciate your endless giving ❤
You are absolutely right!
I remember when your channel was hitting the mid 60s and today you are at 255 thousand.🎉🎉 That' amazing!!! I've been following you since you started and you truly are the best yard transformation person on YT. Again, what sets you apart is that you truly care about what you do and that shows in your work ethic. Thank you for all you do!!!!❤️🌞🌻✌️
❤
Agree. He truly cares❤
270k!
He gained another 200k subs in the past 2 months!!! ❤❤❤❤
@@cynthiamerryman he really does a much better job than the others
Keeping Michigan Kids safe 1 sidewalk at a time!!!!! Amazing!
That was a tough one. Thanks for all the support from the neighbors!
I’m in awe at how much overgrowth covered that sidewalk
It was really crazy!
What a bunch of lovely people living in that neighborhood. Bless them for stopping and saying something nice. The words "Thank you" feels so good and goes a long way in life. The lady in orange was the cutest. You are so loved for the great work you do. ❤❤
first time seeing Sean without his hat. wow what a looker!
I'm so glad people stopped by to tell you how they appreciated you and your work. We are blessed to have you in our world. Thank you for all you do to help others.
Just for the amount of garbage you removed.. thank you!! Bringing back that sidewalk, contributing the well being and safety for the neighborhood.. again thank you! Blessings!!♡
"After a long day I can say WE did it." Thank you for acknowledging our contribution....watching. 😉 I was thinking dynamite was going to be the only way you were going to uproot that stump. Good job, glad the neighbors appreciate your efforts. Everyone should subscribe as small way to improve our world.
I dont understand how this video doesnt have a billion views. The transformation was amazing! And the amount of people who stopped by to say thank you was awesome! You really brought some pride back to that neighborhood. I know those folks are grateful.
Sean I love watching you. You always go above and beyond when working on a yard. You are truly an amazing person. Many blessings to you.
Thanks for the love. Super appreciate that.
So glad the folks living there stop by and tell you how much they appreciate your work.
Same here, 💯💯💯
Sean, you are absolutely amazing!! The community is really starting to view you as their hero. You are changing the lives of the people that live around your projects every time you take on one of these jobs. Can you imagine how nice that seems for the neighborhood?
I think someone had a serious drinking problem and was using the hidden spot in that jungle as a place to indulge and then just discarded the bottles on the ground.
You are so kind to do all that! Sooo many bottles! THANK YOU!
My name is Annette too. I'm originally from Illinois. Have friends that lived in Michigan. I love what you do. I'm on a disability busget with 2 teenagers. I can't donate but wish I could help out. Keep the videos coming. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
My name is Annette as well. Thank you for helping the neighborhood.
I guess since there were no vines, there had to be a root. That was one epic root battle! You won! Great job as always, Sean. Bless you for all you do.
And at least there were no dirty diapers - sad when that’s the best you can say!
The sitting counsel members should be embarrassed by the conditions of these sidewalks. And if a child is hit by a car from walking in the street because of the overgrown sidewalk, who's at fault? Great job Sean...
Excellent work by wonderful, humble man!!!!
Perhaps this example of determination will inspire the locals to band together & clean up other blighted sites around the neighborhood & create a stronger sense of community. Nothing like talent, tools, & hard work.
You were correct. That was one of the worst but you did a great job. I know the neighborhood appreciates what you have done. Thank you for helping. God Bless you 😇❤❤❤❤❤
Congratulations 🎉 on passing the quarter if a million subscribers Sean, you deserve it 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I noticed him at about 50,000 - seems like a week later he was at 200,000!! Holy schniekes!!
A Utube channel that cleans people’s homes recommended Sean’s channel. I had read about it in the comments before. I don’t remember the name of the cleaning channel.
@@marycook1644 Midwest Magic Cleaning, probably.
@@fieryvale You are correct !! I was just watching another video of his and they said that is how they found this channel ! 🖼️
It's a whole different neighborhood now! Thank you for making it safe as well as beautiful for the kids and community
I let out a loud cheer when you got that root out!🤣
Enjoy your videos.
My husband passed in 2022 at 72 yrs old and he was so much like you when he was younger. For 45 years I watched him tackle properties, roots, vines, thorns, fences and numerous stingy things! 🙂
I am so thrilled that people are voicing their appreciation for your efforts! Makes a big difference in mental attitude and energy! Thank you again!
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G Transformation! I think we all stood up and cheered when you conquered the ROOT. The root drop was PRICELESS!!
We are so blessed to have this handsome man 😍😇
All the people from the neighborhood that came by to show their appreciation is so heartwarming to see. God bless them all and everyone using and enjoying the sidewalk you cleared for them Sean.
Made it a safer option for kids and all pedestrians.. Thanks Again.!!! 👁️👁️ Seanof Midlife Stockman
To bad they didn't band together and do something about it, other than complaining. Community means people banding together for the common good??
I'm sitting here wondering why it is I gravitate toward your videos more than everyone elses... It's your meticulous attention to detail. Your battle with "THE ROOT" is just one example of the pride you take in your work. Hauling away tons and tons of garbage is another. When you take on a property, you take it on for better or worse. And I love those sharp edges and crisp lines that you make with your edger. And I've noticed on more than one occasion that God definitely does work through you. He always seems to put you right where you need to be. You really DO put your heart into each project. Thank you very much for sharing your videos.
Thank you for such a kind comment. Truly means so much!!
I love how that lady knew exactly who you were! Not just a lawncare youtuber, but specifically the gifts you gave the family to help them out. Nice work!
Brother, I gotta say. You are an inspiration to me. I'm in Northwest Georgia. We have a nasty hurricane heading our way. I needed to mow my yard b4 it hits. But I'm on disability and with a kinda bad heart. But after watching your episodes. It gave me the inspiration to get outside and git-r-done 😂😂. Thank you for blessing these families, I pray for your safety. You are definitely a God send , and a true blessing to a lot of people. Thank you for what you do.
Your family and friends don’t forget neighbors are so proud of you. You are THE MAN. Keep doing what you do and keep being Blessed. Stay Strong in what you do. Bless you young man. Big fan from Alabama 😊.
Thanks for those kind words! I really do appreciate it.
Everyone talking about how lazy the city is for neglecting the sidewalk, but let me draw your attention to that *drain*. That's what really gets me. That drain was unrecognizable and that is stupid. Thank you for giving your time to make such an awesome change in the community
You could't even tell a drain was there. You did the neighborhood a big favor to help drainage and prevent street flooding.
It really rankles me that everybody wants to tell you what a good job you're doing but nobody wants to stop and help! I may be 72 years old but I know how to pick up a bottle!! You're a good man Sean!!!!
This was quite a challenge! But, of course, you did it!! So nice of all the folks stopping by, appreciating what you were doing!! Congratulations!! Thank you Sean!!!
That was a lot of hard work. It is wonderful the local community showed you so much love and appreciation. And to the woman who stopped and gave Sean a hug, thank you.
You ROCK Sir... Your Passion for lawns is something I can only hope to strive to be like...I love your work!!! GOD BLESS YOU YOUR FAMILY!!!
I think clearing overgrown sidewalks back to a passable condition for the community are my favorites. Looks 1000% better!
God bless you Sean. I'm a fan from a very far place, here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. You do it all alone on the road...but of course with big support from your family...your wife for cleaning all the dirty shirts that you bring back, your lovely daughter who doesn't forget to bring coffee (Starbucks) for her daddy, and your son for checking out on you once in awhile on the phone...and take care of your back.
I live in the UK. There has been a recent story - the council have neglected to upkeep the public areas just like this. Locals got together to clean up their city. The council threatened to sue them because they said it was vandalism. The group leader was taking the rubbish home and adding it to her household rubbish. She was told she couldn't dispose of other people's rubbish without a licence and that she would be arrested if she continued to do so.
You, and everyone like you, make such a huge difference. You do exactly what should be done by councils.
Your council needs some revision. Hopefully, y'all can vote them out and get reasonable folks to represent you. God bless, and have a great day!
"You got a license for that rubbish?" That's wild.
That is what a total mess society has become. Its quite pathetic
That's what government wants. They don't want us caring for our own community because when that happens, we realize just how much control they have over us and then we realize we don't need government in every aspect of our lives. We become a threat to their existence.
That’s crazy 😮
Sean, the sidewalk looks so good, it was so nice the people in the neighborhood stopped by to thank you for everything you do. It's such a great blessing everytime you clean up and repair property helping people out. God bless you Sean, God bless your Family's
It's a good job you clear these areas like you do, someone could of got seriously hurt with all the hidden glass.
What a profound sense of accomplishment for you...and to be thanked by so many appreciative neighbors, too. Great job, Midlife Stockman.
Wow! What a transformation. It's crazy to think that as a kid growing up in Seattle the city workers would come out and trim any overgrowth that covered or blocked the sidewalk and this was before HOA's existed! My how times have changed where the city no longer does this as a safety precaution to pedestrians!
Yeah, that city asking for a lawsuit. I wonder what is in that jungle off of that sidewalk you cleared out? Maybe a lot more garbage and evidence of illicit activities.
Keeping our children safer one sidewalk at a time. Way to go Sean! God bless you sir 🙏❤️
Thank you😊, also Thank you to your family for sharing your time with us. Transforming properties is your passion, which gives us pure enjoyment as we watch you transform these properties and bring life back into them.
You do great work!!! I would have been that sweet lady who gave you a hug if I lived in Michigan. ♥️ You work so hard that a better mower could save you lots of energy. I know they’re expensive but in your case would be well worth the investment. ☺️
This makes my Monday! I rush to do my morning chores to be able to have my coffee with Midlife Stockman. Thank you, Sean!!!
WOW!!! That root was determined to stay. That was like pulling the sword from the stone.
Midwest Magic Cleaning recommended you on his channel and when the algorithm sent me here, I had to watch. Good job, sir. That job deserves all the thanks it received from the community. I have friends who live in New Orleans East and abandoned lots like that are a blight on the neighborhood and attract crime. It might not be a permanent solution, but they can rest easy for a few years, and that's worth it.
Thank God now the children will be able to walk on a sidewalk instead of the street. You just made it safer for them. Plus the adults too. What a huge difference.❤😊
You won a lot of hearts doing this video doing that sidewalk. You are so blessed right now with the community in that neighborhood, I love it how they show their appreciation
Looks like you need to add an ax to your tools for harder tree removals. The sidewalk hasn’t seen the day of light in a long time. Now makes the neighborhood looks amazing again. Now kids can be safe on the the whole sidewalks.
One of the best things about the work you do is taking care of so much trash. The gardening is great (!!) But the removing of trash affects so much more in the long run. Thank you for that!
Your channel has quickly become my favorite landscaping/yard cleanup channel to watch. I love your energy and can't believe some of the jobs you tackle -- like this one. Your city is lucky to have you. Much love from 🇨🇦.
Sean, like so many others. I have watched practically every transformation you've posted here on UA-cam. But this one I felt was just extra special, in that, I watched it a second time. This has gotta be one of my top favorite channels when it comes to lawn transformations and the like. Keep up the great work We all really love what you do....
I also watched twice and counted the compliments he got, NINE!!
Amazing transformation went from a Jungle to a clean sidewalk and safety for the residents of the neighborhood. Thank you so very much for caring and doing God’s work, God Bless you and your family from an ole lady in Texas. So glad I came across your channel awhile back. Love the work you do.
It’s awesome that the people in your neighbourhood appreciate these transformations as much as we do in UA-cam land. You do amazing work.
WHETHER YOU KNOW IT OR NOT, YOU HAVE CELEBRITY STATUS NOW! I know that hug went a long way my friend!
