      So many people can't handle yards anymore because they are old and don't have the money. I don't know if this is the case, but perhaps it is. I'm so blessed because I have the money to get someone to take care of mine. I'm 74 and a semi- invalid. Can barely pick up a pressure cooker anymore.

      I agree with you. We also need to check on our own family members. I am 69 years old woman and I don’t have the help from my own three grown adult children. I do all the yard work myself. If I can’t keep up with the work I will eventually have to pay someone to help me. Sean is a blessing for those who need the help.

      I agree with what you mean, it's definitely not normal. But I think it's not out of laziness, it's something psychological related to hoarding. They see some potential in a thing although it's broken or unused at the moment so they collect it and put it aside for "when the time comes". These people can be very defensive and even agressive if you try to point out that they live in a pile of trash. I'm genuinely surprised that people with some hoarding habbits can just accept someone to come and clean out all the trash.

      mental health is a thing we tend to ignore. I hear people asking why didn't the neighbors help? My parents have a neighbor who is taking care of her daughter and special needs sister, we help out a few times a year to clean things up, but none of the adults in the house are what you would consider mentally healthy, and that went back to the parents who lived there when I was growing up. Makes it hard to help them since they tend to latch on and on a whole they're not people you want in your life, too much drama, petty crime, etc.
      But the neighborhood shouldn't suffer because of it.

    This is more than lawncare & landscaping. This is showing other humans that there are people outside their immediate lives that care and feel like they matter. That's important. An unkept property is often a sign of something more serious (for the people that live there.) This is similar to not cleaning, or doing laundry, etc. when you're depressed or overwhelmed. This is helping people, at the human level. We may not owe each other anything as strangers, but we owe each other as fellow humans. Balance is harmony.

    This kind of property makes the case that when the time arises in your life that you can’t or don’t want to maintain a lawn and upkeep a neighborhood property, you look for alternative ways to live, such as a condominium, an apartment, tiny home, etc. My husband and I are 70 and 65, and realize that the time will come when we cannot keep up with our extensive gardens and maintain our three level home. Realizing your physical limitations is actually freeing, and keeps you from getting overwhelmed by things. There are so many options for people, you just have to find the right one that works for you. Maybe this makeover from a kind stranger is the indicator these folks need to show them the path forward.
