She couldn't Believe it when I said YES to this FREE Yard Makeover!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 кві 2024
- A follower from facebook contacted me to see if I could possibly have a look at her daughter's overgrown yard to see if I could help out with a free cleanup. Her daughter actually suffers from a debilitating disability, and is on disability pension. Not only that, she is a single mother who really struggles with her yard. Initially, I didn't think it was quite bad enough to do a makeover, but I decided to go ahead anyway just to help out, all for free. All up, this job took me around 11 hours to complete, including 3 trips to the landfill.

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: 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 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. I don't have the right trailer for a ride on, considering I always take away the green waste.
2. I don't have anywhere to store it, as my shed is too small.
3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can't actually get a ride-on on to the properties.
4. I don't do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k AUD on a stander, but it would be nice to have one!
5. I will get one as soon as my transport and storage problems are solved.
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.
Q: Why do you have 2 channels that seem to be the same?
A: Quick Cuts (my original channel) has music in the background. Quick Cuts V2 is for those that like just machine noise, and it doesn't have music. - Розваги

Amo ver você limpando estes jardins é de admirar.Meus parabéns.Estou sempre vendo os seus vidios.😊❤
You might think it is not a big job, but it will mean the world to the disabled lady ❤
Perhaps not a large problem yard; yet, you put in 11 hours into it! That was a long time for a "nothing" yard. :-))
You always make these transformations as if you were the person living there! It’s called heart and soul! Thank you for sharing the makeover! ❤
A viewer-satisfying makeover doesn't have to involve a jungle or a rubbish dump that's bigger than a previous episode. Watching your technique and knowing that your heart is exactly in the right place makes for a pleasing experience. As usual, you transformed the garden with compassion, respect, and empathy -- three of your finest tools that you expertly bring to every episode. Thank you, George.
Your workmanship and the pride you take in your work has never changed. You always give 100 per cent to each and every job you do, that's why I enjoy watching your videos.
You're a legend George. Blessings to you and your family 🙏👏👏👏
You've given the dog much more room to play around! Well done as always.
George-"The back yard is for the dog, it doesn't have to be perfect." Also George- works like a mad man on the back yard,till it's perfect...😉
I wonder if she had any idea of just how good her yard could look? The thing about you, George, is that you make the place look homey.....that is the best compliment I think you could get.....and it's the best.
So true that it don’t have to be a massiv overgrown yard. So nice of you for doing this job for the lady so her yard looks as good as her neighbors (but since it was you who did the job her yard is now the most perfect one). I truly enjoy watching your perfection in every single detail. Thank you!
Please don’t think it has to be the worst lawn for you to video as you are an immaculate lawn care person. That’s what we enjoy that you do not leave one stone unturned. I enjoy it so much so satisfying all the way from North Carolina.❤️
"Backyard must not be perfect." But you always make everything perfect, George! ❤😊👏😘
It’s about time you took on a lawn that isn’t a mega-catastrophe. You are a hero.
Not only tidy, but pretty again. I appreciate your eye for aesthetics as well as creating a functional space. Worth the wait, and happy to see you get stuck in after your holiday 👏👍🙌🫶
Hey Michele, you just caught me, about to sign off 🙂🙋♂️
I liked the black cat peeking out from behind the curtain! He would like to help, but he has little paws... Or maybe he was just monitoring the work, like an inspector? ))
The suPURRvisor. 😺
😂❤@@sandscottie68
The attitude to work, the quality of George's work and the result are wonderful! It can be recommended as a master class.
Kindness in action George, and that is priceless! Thank you for helping this woman.
It may have been a small job for you but a huge moral booster for the owner. I speak from experience that having the lawn mowed and bushes trims is a boost to your overall feeling of well being. Bless you for doing this work!
When a scumbag can take advantage of a disabled mum, you wonder about the world, however, when the devil leaves an angel appears, all is not lost, there are still some wonderful people out there, like yourself, well done.
I love your choice of music. It makes watching you work so much more peaceful. You always are so kind and giving to your community George. Great wrk as always.
Doing what needs to be done, where it is needed. That's why I love your channel, George. It may not be as dramatic a makeover as the massively overgrown properties, but it is just as meaningful and as appreciated. As always, love the music, this was especially nice.
It's so nice to see you clean up yards for people that are unable to do so, I can imagine how good you make them feel to not have the burden of an overgrown out of control yard to worry about. Thank You.
How bad person must one be to scam a disabled single mum. Really can't believe it. Thank you so much for helping her out. Even if it's not the most overgrown yard in town, this help surely means the world to her. You are an amazing man!
George, thank you for helping this woman. A small job by your standards, a big one from the heart. Nice to see you peppy after your vacation.
Nancy, Ocala Florida USA
The before always looks much worse at the end, when we can see the after! Another very satisfying rehabilitation of an innocent yard. The only way I would find it more satisfying would be if I had done it myself. Also, you were a huge hit with the client’s cat, who spent time supervising both the front and the back yard work. So, two thumbs up from both me and the cat! 🇨🇦💕
Five stars, George. You are an exceptional humanitarian.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A „nice little cleanup“ 😆
For your fans a great job and a big favour for the lady ❤️
Every video you post starts with a property that needs help and ends with it looking better than when you started. Big or small, all these projects are worth my time to view them. I learn something every time. Loved the cat in the window. I appreciate you identifying trees, shrubs, flowers and even the dreaded blackberries. Thank you, George.
You’re a good man. You make the world a better place.
George this yard wasn't as bad as some recent ones but you certainly made her world a better place. ❤
Not only are you a garden restoration one man wonder George, you are a garden angel! We see your true, empathetic character shine through in each of the jobs you do! God Bless you always!💚🌱🌿🍃
Aw, you are so nice doing this for this lady, as a lady on a disability pension, I understand. Thanks, George!
You always make the properties look perfect George. The dog probably hasn't seen his/her ball in a while and will be excited. Thank you for helping this lady. The dreaded blackberry bushes!
Omg George, you R a legend. A GOAT of lawn service. This young lady got the RIGHT PERSON in you, George. That 🌳 tree from next door was crazy. Keep up the good work
Blessings from the UK 🇬🇧 🙏 🙌
What an amazing transformation. I know it was smaller than what you usually do, but your work ethic, and standards shine through. You are amazing at what you do. I appreciate the time and effort you always put forth. It means the world to the home owner, and to your viewers who expect the best. You delivered once again. Thanks George for cleaning up our world, one yard at a time. Continued blessings to you.
From the first bush George, you just are the Very Best.. you never ever move on until that area is totally pristine. Watching you is such a delight. Be very proud of your work. No one out there that does this type of work as good. LOVE your videos. Have watched them all several times.
Your title says it all. As someone with a disability I would have found doing that garden like climbing Mount Everest. You've made a huge difference to someone's life and you deserve an easier one after all the hard ones you do. Thank you
Big or small, all your transformations are amazing 👏. When it's a deserving person such as this disabled lady ❤️ it shows you have the biggest ❤️ heart, and may God bless you. The appreciation, dedication, and helping your community show me why you're above all the best 👍. Thank you, George! Truly appreciate 🙏.
George, you are frikkin FEARLESS. You make me stronger just watching you.
The contractor who didn't finish the job and just took off with the money deserves "a whooping and refried porridge" (Swedish expression)! Good of you to step in and do the right thing for the lady, George! As they say: You the man! 💯👍
I think that was the tidiest ‘dog garden’ I have ever seen! Thank you for helping this lady George. ❤
Once again you have helped a disabled person - jut because it was the right thing to do. To her this was "a big deal" because it looks so tidy now. Hopefully it will raise her spirits just as a decluttering inside a house can change a person' attitude. Thanks, George, for always doing a great job no matter what.
You're quite right George. It's not always the biggest or the worst that need our attention. It's the kindest, like you! ❤ Warm greeting from London UK 💂
Wow, she gained so much yard back. And even if the backyard didn't need to be perfect I knew 😊you would make it perfect.
It may not have been the biggest transformation for us to watch but to her it was gigantic! It was satisfying to watch how much bigger her yard was after you helped her. Thanks for helping her George! It wasn't the largest but you still did a ton of work to get it looking nice for her and her littles. yay for Quick Cuts!
As ALWAYS, a job well done. Sometimes it doesn't need to be the baddest or the worst, it's the need that makes it worth the time. I have never mentioned this before and I have been following you for a long time, but I especially like the music selections you use. They just seem to fit. I also appreciate that your videos are so well edited, so you get an excellent comprehension of the scope and the linear progress as you work towards the end. Great job both as a lawn care person and a video youtuber. See you on your next one. Take care!
Hey Cheryl 🙂🙋♂️
George, I subscribe to over a dozen lawn makeover channels. You are my favorite. I love the descriptions of the plants, bushes and trees you work with and especially the way you fix things that aren't really your job to do. It shows how much you truly care about the people you serve. Every time I watch you, I see nothing you have missed. I recently watched another who left vines hanging on the fence. Yes, I left a comment about it. It may seem trivial to others, but it's a matter of completion and professionalism to me. You are simply the BEST.
Aw that cute cat watching you was lovely, she’s thanking you for all the hard work you’re putting in. Such a lovely transformation for someone who deserves it, you said it didn’t need to be perfect cos it was just for the dog, lucky dog!!
I just started watching your channel and I thought you would enjoy this! I am a 74 year old woman with LPD (lazy procrastination disorder) living in Florida. I have conquered this problem by watching one of your episodes last week when I woke up in the morning. 5am. Ugh. When it was over, I was so inspired I put on my gardening clothes, grabbed my battery powered weed whacker, and went out the door! The possums and raccoons were appalled! I worked for an hour, that's all the battery is good for. That's all I'm good for too.Every morning since, I watch an episode and then go outside. I also have a battery powered lawnmower. 7 days later and the place is starting to look good! Thank you, thank you, thank you! From Cynthia in Florida.
How nice it is to look at nature! Warm, sunny, green! Great job!
And this week we got frosts again down to -13 and a huge amount of snow! Greetings from Finland!
That doesn't sound very nice 🥶.....🙂🙋♂️
Another 👍🏻 job from George who does more than a Quick Cut ✂️ but a Top class cut
I wanna give you a hug George. You are doing the right thing.
A good rain to settle the dust and some growth of grass. Nice tidy property. Good work George.
Thanks for helping her George. I liked that Quince bush, thought it looked nice out front.☺️💚
It will grow back.
I was wondering the same thing...if they're rare, why take it out? I live in NE Ohio so have no experience with quince so I'm happy that it will grow back. I thought maybe George was trying to save her from having to get out and pick the quince. When you don't feel good it wears on you knowing that there's this chore that really needs done. I love George's work.
George you always do the right thing. When said, “the back yard was for the dog so it doesn’t need to be perfect” I thought I was going to miss out on your perfection. 😂❤ it looked perfect to me. Not washing the walks is the only thing that makes it less perfect. 😢
We have a flowering quince in our garden in Canberra. I'm not sure if it's the same as the one that George removed but the flowering quince is awful. It's an ornamental plant that has nice flowers once a year, but it also has large thorns and it sends out suckers that come up in the garden nearby. It's very difficult to remove completely.
@@catherinekennedy6873 I love my flowering quince. It has slowly expanded over time, but I am talking decades. Zero care needs. Midwestern USA
Still love watching you do your wonderful work George, such a perfectionist ❤
Another “feel good” video from you. Thank you George.
Great job!! George, the blackberry slayer!!
'The worst plant on the Planet!' 😅🤣
Some of those shrubs had gone rogue and were hogging too much room on the wrong side of the fence. It’s cathartic to watch you cut them back where they belong 😂. Loved the cameo from the black cat, and boy the dog has a terrific back yard to roam now. Lots of happy music in this video George, and the last song selection was just perfect 🥰🎵.
George, a job that takes 11 hours to complete is worth a video. Heck, ANY job that YOU do is worth a video, and that backyard looks pretty perfect to me. Watching you from the sunny desert of Arizona, USA.
Totally agree about just having to do the right thing sometimes. Horrible to hear she was taken advantage of, I refuse to take payment from my clients before I job is done.
Great work once again mate.
Same 🍺
Big or small it's always a pleasure to see someone being helped ❤😊
Beautifully done! And forgive me, but only someone that has done huge disaster yards would say that was not a big job. LOL. So glad you could help this family so they could enjoy the yard again. Stay safe.
Amazing George, simply amazing! You’re the best! Always look forward to Saturday morning! You did the right thing!
Great job George! You not only tidied up the yard, but you also enhanced her view of the water and mountains. You did a good amount of work on this one, I know how you love those blackberries. 😉 I think it was a good use of a free makeover, your transformations always make a huge difference. I'm sure she was very appreciative. Not to mention, the dog was probably happy too, you gave him/her more room to run around and enjoy the space. 😁 Take care George and I look forward to the next one. 💛
Another beautiful job with purpose. I bet the lady is over the moon with the cleanup. Her back yard looks so big! 😊❤
Your kindness is a wonderful thing. 😊 Tnank you.
Like you said it may not be the almighty garden but you being the person you are you always do the right thing and make a lady's day by your kindness. That is why we all admire you and your hard work. Looks great and I am sure you put a Smile on her face. You're a Good man.
Yes‼️ A good man is hard to find! Someone said that. George is that man transforming gardens and yards🎉
Your right, the small things have as big an impact as the big stuff. You're doing a great job.
You are a very kind and caring person. God bless you🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
You smartened this place right up ! I'm sure who ever owns the place will be pleased. Kudos on a job well done👏
The backyard is perfect, as perfect can be.
Such a great job! What a difference you're making in other peoples lives! ❤😊
Small job or not, there was plenty there to transform. And the dreaded blackberries as well! I loved it.
Excellent job as always. When you mentioned a dog I was a bit worried for you...... people don't always pick up after them.... but it didn't seem bad. The tenant or homeowner must have felt incredible relief when she saw the new yard with all the overgrowth cut down, including the nasty thorn bushes. It's always inspiring to watch you work. 🌻🌻🌻
As a botanist from America, I thank you so much for identifying the plants for us. Very informative ❤
Greetings from the USA to my friend down under in Australia.
George I always enjoy watching your yard transformations on this channel.
Watching you do your magic while listening to some great tunes
Is very relaxing and therapeutic to me.
Sometimes the machine noise can be distracting.
Thanks for giving us the options for either.
I've learned a lot about different species of trees and shrubbery from watching. And look for them while I'm out driving. Before i never paid any attention to that type of thing.
Wishing you the best.
George the property looks amazing you have a big heart and the lady is probably happy about how it turned out.Thanks for the entertainment and enjoyable content, including the music.😊
Again, another great video. Thank you, George for the attention to detail and the great work that you do.🙂👌
You are absolutely the best lawn guy anywhere. I love how you go the extra mile to get it done. Taking all the rubbish away too.👌❤
What a beautiful view this tenant has out back. Excellent work as always 👍❤️
Thank you for you helping someone who need regardless it not the biggest job I have viewed. Your the top in the land down under.
This was an awesome transformation to watch. Maybe the yard was “not that bad” but it is fabulous now! The tenant must be over the moon! Great work as always!
Awesome job - and the backyard IS perfect - even if it’s just for the dog!! ❤️
I’ve been looking forward to your return George.. no other lawncare channel that is on your level..
Amazing work..
Amazing work ethic =
Amazing Transformation 💯👌🏼👍🏼
George, you have a huge heart for people! You do amazing work for people. Thank you and God bless ya!
Exquisite work as always George ❤ you can see the yard breathe from being chocked up from the Neighbors overgrown trees 😊😊
Good day Ladies and Gentlemen. It is 4pm in Montreal, and a balmy 7c. Busy day today, so let's get to todays' What's in the Garden with your host George of the Jungle!!"
It's gonna be a "Feel Good - Do the Right Thing" Kind of day today. So let's Goooooo !!! Such a beautiful view out front of the Mountains !!
Does it seem like when "George of the Jungle" looses his yellow and green, he mellows out quite a bit, is it me or what ??
Me thinks that Quince was not going to give up without a fight, No ?? If you listen closely, you can hear the Elephant in the yard next door !!
Wow Mr. George, you did a really nice job here. Well Done !!
On Monday, for the Eclipse, Montreal sits on the Western Edge of The Path of Totality, as the sun comes across our horizon. We will have a 20 story view on our terrace on the roof.
Thank you for joining us today for "What's in the Garden," with your host George of the Jungle. Y'all come back now, hear !!
Like you say it’s not the biggest or the best but at the end of the day you still have done a garden for someone in need which is lovely and bet this lady is over the moon after you had finished it your heart is in the right place so well done and it was still a lovely transformation to watch knowing the story behind it 😊
Small job? BIG result! You are a Godsend, George. Blessings to you; I always watch right before bedtime because of the beauty you create out of (blackberry) madness! 😅 It's so relaxing! Cheers, mate. ❤
You did another wonderful job. I liked this video as much as some of the real bad gardens. You are the best on UA-cam.
George you are a caring person and a very good detailed lawn care man and clean up junk , transformation KING 👑🎉❤
I love your channel and the beautiful jobs you do to help people in need as well as for the community. It's very inspiring and heartwarming what you do.
Single Mom on disability has to be a tough situation no doubt.
Thanks for your care and compassionate personality and your passion for helping and doing a perfect job🎉😊
I look forward to your videos because the videos bring such a good feeling and a smile for me 😊. Still good people in the world doing good things 🌟💯💥💪👍👏.
Yes it doesn't have to always be a huge transformation situation to be AMAZING. The amazing part in everything you do is helping people ❤ kindness to others.
Shout Out From Your Biggest Fan From Georgia USA 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤😊
Seems like you take the same care no matter how big or small. Thank you
George Of Eden good day. This is yet another great one I've watched amongst the many. I've got a thing about seeing a small yard become so big just because it got the care it needed. Well done.
She a lucky lady to be blessed by you .
I never get tired watching you perform magic
I'm from the US. I haven't been to Oz in many decades - since the '70s, actually. I nearly went to college there at UNSW. Many of the movies I've watched over the decades have been Australian made, and a goodly number of youtubers I follow are from Oz, and not just landscapers.
I said all that, to say this: I posted a picture of the Hills on my FB and told my American audience that that was the national tree of Australia, and that anyone who thought the Golden Wattle was the national tree was mistaken.
My military friends and relatives who've been, and my FB friends from Down Under had a pretty good laugh. Those umbrella types especially are so ubiquitous in every video, they might as well be the national tree. Y'all should take a vote, George.
Yep, the good old Hills Hoist is in almost every Australian backyard. 😃
I like these makeovers as much as the huge ones! The transformation is always satisfying. Also - LOVE seeing the sun on a dreary UK Saturday morning :-) Such a treat.
You are such a kind man and do such an awesome job
Some of the best things in life are free. What a difference, George. Incidentally, do you have to worry about someone stealing your equipment off your truck when it's out of your sight?
Did you notice there was a little black cat watching from the front window for a little bit. Great work. Big or small, I enjoy your thoroughness.
It may not have been the biggest and baddest garden, but you sure were impressive making it utterly tidy and neat, and I'd say that was a lot of hard work you put into the renovation, George! I mean 11 hours is not to be sneezed at, and 3 tip runs means a great deal of waste foliage was collected. Well Done! and a nice, satisfying video to watch. :) Thank you!
