New Mum Needs Help With Her Garden! TOTAL OVERGROWN jungle | Of course I said yes | TRANSFORMATION

  • A new mum with a three month old baby asked for my help to clear up her garden, she's only weeks away from moving in. No way could I say no to this job, she sent me pictures and called for my help, I said yes without a second thought.
    I was limited to time during the initial tidy up, the weather forecast was grim to say the least. I estimated 3-4 hours to get this job to some level of completion, I hope its enough.
    I knew lots would still be left to do, but without knowing where the garden is underneath all the brambles and trees there wouldn't be much I could do.
    Hope you enjoy this little overgrown garden transformation.
    Thank you so much for watching,
    Martin The Garden Guy.

    I'm so sad that she was going to have to move in with the garden like this, it must have been really overwhelming for her, especially with a new baby. Well done to you for not only creating a nicer space, but for taking some of that worry off her shoulders! ❤❤

      Honestly, I was quite concerned as well. I moved my work diary around to get this one in really quickly. And traveled a lot further than I normally do to 😅
      But I'm glad I did. It was quite a bit of fun. You never really know what you're gonna find in a garden like this 🤣
      And the job seems far from done yet.

      The big clearance was the easy bit really 😅 there is no finesse in bulldozing the over grown bit. But it's is enjoyable 😁
      Took me two more days just to do the rest of the bramble removal and sort the trees out as well as the corner climbers (aka The Cave Of Wonders) 😉
      Next time is day 4!

    In the first place the sellers or real estate people should have cleaned up that place. I wouldn’t have accepted anything that looked like this. I know the lady must be anxious to move, especially with a new baby. That patio and other pavement would really benefit from a good power washing! I’m looking forward to the next segment of this clean up. Thanks for sharing and God bless!

    • @martinthegardenguy
      @martinthegardenguy  Рік тому +1

      Oh hi, thanks for the comment 😊 Unfortunately the previous resident had passed away, and apparently, the garden had already been "let go" before this. In the UK, estate agents don't have anything to do with the condition of a property. They just simply sell the place, and there is still lots of competition to buy properties.
      I've already done a second visit and third planned for this week, so 🤞 it'll be done 😁 part 2 should be ready by the weekend.
      Wow, it's been a tough one though 🤣
