Al - You have a great way of dealing with people. You helped the homeless guy out with cutting the rod and offering him water. I noticed that you picked up your water but kept the cutters on your arm. So although you help people you’re cautious and aware of your surroundings.
You showed Jesus to the man in black. I imagine if he had not so good intentions God let him see an army of Angels surrounding you! God loves His Children.
He's so pitiful in that hot black outfit looking like a magician 🎩 At first I thought he was up to no good but I think the "drumsticks" made him really happy, poor soul might have mental illness 😢
I hope you do not mind a few questions. Do you get poison ivy when cutting the lawns and shrubs? Do you ever run into snakes or other critters? Do you have a place you take the debris? God Bless you for doing the work you do.
@Al Bladez I had to comment to let you know of a special viewer of yours. His name is Jake he’s an eighteen year old corgi dog who cries when we leave him home alone. We ran across your videos about nine months ago and since then we leave your videos playing on continuous play when we are out. He’s calm and isn’t afraid nor stressed when we return. Thank you for being there and for all of the people and *Animals you help. Take care and be well.
@@debbyshoemaker2053 We always leave the tv on for our dogs when they are alone, which is rare. We did when we went to my daughters and had it a little loud because it was in July and I was afraid they would hear someone letting off fireworks. Which we life in the country with houses acres away, well we came home early and I walked in and what was playing, the fireworks 😮😮 My poor babies were hiding in the bathroom. They are terrified of rain, thunder, gun shots when it’s hunting season and FIREWORKS! 😢
Al I'm not going to pretend I wasn't scared for you. Especially when that guy was sharpening his sticks. You were very kind and even gave him water. God bless you.
Yes! I was on pins and needles thinking he would or could try to stab someone 🤔. Just never know these days. But Al was cool calm and collected. God bless and keep you Al 🙏
I'm glad code enforcement is reaching out, but, if they're sending you into sketchy neighborhoods, they need to check on you when you're at these houses. Thanks for all you do Al. Stay safe.
I like seeing our older population getting help with their yards. People don’t realize how good it makes them feel knowing someone cares enough to help. Thank you Al.
People are strange - and you never know if they're mentally balanced or not. The abuse and struggles that many folks are subjected to makes for desperate actions. Sometimes a kind word and a simply act of being nice can change a person for the better.
Al is endlessly kind, but needs to be cautious. Don't turn your back on someone acting sketchy, especially when they have so many places to have something dang hidden on them. Help, but don't put yourself in danger.
When yards are overgrown and unkempt, no matter the circumstances, the homeless and addicted persons are attracted. If they think no one cares, they think they can trespass and/or camp out. Your service to older vulnerable homeowners is invaluable and much appreciated. I’m sure it’s a tremendous relief to them.
Al, because you don't distinguish who you help - you just help, I realized that after watching this video your safety can be at jeopardy. I thank you for your good works and I also pray for your safety and that no harm will come upon you. You are an amazing human being!
Yes he definitely needs someone with him to watch him and his things. The criminals have no respect or morals. The trash is always making it hard for a working man .
being worries about safety in this video, is just a cop out because you fear homeless ppl. Come on, face it. However I am exactly the same. so stop your BS and realise you can react differently to homeless ppl... this is what I learned watching this video and now i gotta rethink how i act towards them. cheers.
That guy was thinking while he was drumming. He noticed you held that piece of equipment. He noticed that you stood your ground. You have good instincts. I was amazed that the mower could handle some of the brush you cut. I thought you hit a large rock. Yard looked so good with the trees and bushes trimmed. Prayers of protection over you and your equipment and your family. Another super job. 🌟🌟🌟
Actually, I was so nervous watching that guy with the robe, especially when he was sharpening the metal rods? I was praying nothing will happen to Al so, good thing it was just a harmless dude.
You are an amazing guy. The world needs m ore people like you. Having someone tidy their yard means the world to senior people. You are truly an inspiration. 👍💕

After having something stolen from your truck I hope you looked into locking your equipment up so they can't take any more. Stay safe! Keep up the great work!
😳 It’s almost as if you needed a guard to do this job. Just by doing her yard you have made her feel safer in her own home and neighborhood. Well done Al, well done😊
Al, it is so nice of you to be such a caring person but please be careful. I know at least a couple of those guys checking out the truck you didn’t see until you edited the video and the bicycle guy came back around from the other direction. You have a family and a child who needs a daddy around for a long long time. Love you Al!! 🙏🏻😊
Al, it shows what a genuine person you truly are. You treated that gentleman as a human being and not as a freak. Yet you were aware of the surroundings. What a wonderful person you are. You are the greatest. Can't wait for your videos every week. In Arizona so they come on at ten. I'm 85 and try to keep my life. Experiences positive. You are awesome.
I can just imagine the relief this 92 year old lady felt when the yard was brought back to life. You are a good man. God bless the Code Enforcement Officer for getting her help instead of giving her a fine. God bless you Al for doing the job. ❤️🙏🙏🌟🌟👍👍❤️
I am a 70 year old senior who is just getting over triple bypass surgery last year, love your show, gives me faith that there is kindness and concern for others out there. Keep up the good work.
I hope that you are making a full recovery from your surgery. That’s a scary one!❤ Hoping also you have people to help you while you heal. I realize this is 2 months ago, so you’re probably doing much better now. My mom has had two open heart surgeries and it’s definitely a long healing process. Sending love from Texas. God bless you.
Al you taught me today the way you handled the sketchy guy to be cautious and caring things don't have to be met with aggression in today's troubled times. We need more people in the world like you ❤🫂
Be careful out there Al. Lots of crazy things happening now & some poor souls are very lost and disturbed. I'm always praying for God to watch over you as you continue to show others love by helping them out. You're a good man Al, God Bless you brother! 🙏🥰😇
I saw you on the Boring Channel and you guys are both my hero's. The help you give these homeowners is much more than a yard and house fix-up, I'm sure it helps their self-esteem and feelings of self-worth. Bless You!
We live in a world with ‘colourful characters’, stay safe out there. You handled the situation really well & better than most of us would have. You’re one of only a few earthly angels.
I am 60 years old and loving watching you do these yards! I still run a weedeater like no one else with trimming ect. I love clearing the worst lots! I work for state of Florida! Ranger I am! Before that worked with my dad clearing VA and hud houses abandoned best times! I love the way you do not care about being clean cut or what people think about your appearance! Way to go blades! Your awesome!
I love the partnership you and the code enforcement officer have built. You guys are like a super hero power combo!…and it’s really heartwarming that he’s looking to help those who really need it. He’s not just cruising around looking to heartlessly write citation after citation, he really takes the time to understand why the homeowner isn’t getting the yard in order; which is so commendable. If I didn’t live across the country I’d bake you both cookies😊Please let him know how much we appreciate him and notice how beautiful of a heart he has. Al, I know you’re going through a rough time and I pray you get back to your old self soon. Surrounding yourself with people like this could be so uplifting and help you ease back into what you clearly love doing; plus, you’d know you’d have the backing of a city employee who can vouch for you and steer you to those who will really appreciate it and not have a meltdown over stupid gardenias that will grow back because you and AP merely cut them and didn’t pull the roots out (ridiculous). I myself have had a rough 4 1/2 years; first with a serious neck injury and now with two extremely large abdominal growths that have been difficult to see a surgeon for. I handled the neck injury horribly and pretty much shut all my emotions off and shut myself away from everyone. I knew that wasn’t healthy, so I’ve made a conscious effort to handle this new, terrifying, diagnosis the complete opposite way. I let myself feel all the emotions, cry when I need to, but also allow people in to help support me, and take comfort in God’s presence, know he has a plan/reason…I just haven’t figured it out yet. He has the same for you and He will sort this all out in His time; which often doesn’t align with what we want, but will all make sense in the end. You got this! I believe in you.
Very nice job Al! I was worried when that man in black approached. Thanks for taking care of that 92yr. old woman’s property. I’m sure she felt blessed by your generosity, kindness,& hard work. Please stay safe, healthy, productive,& hydrated.”Cut it up!”💯💕👏🏾💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
God blessed you Al. You are truly blessed. Compassion and kindness is a pretty rare trait for people today. You are a 'faith restorer' for sure. Thank you Al.
I’m feeling this overwhelming emotion for this lady who has to look out her windows and go to bed at night scared of those people who wonder the streets especially at night. I saw a window boarded up and felt deep compassion for her. I don’t want to be that old and live alone. Great job as usual Al..
Al, you have the kindest, most loving heart. I would not have been willing to interact with that Darth Vader guy and you showed pure loving kindness, even helping him with his drumsticks (!?) and giving him water. You’re actions and moral compass are very inspiring.❤❤❤
Al, one reason of many for my following you is that while there is sketchy people, you seem to understand that everyone has a story. You have a way to try to diffuse situations before they escalate. On top of that you do great transformations. 👍
Al you are a real great guy! You even offered that sketchy dude a water. That act of kindness probably saved your life! Who knows what he might have been planning!
A few years ago I had a woman ask for help and it was a setup with the second person in the background waiting to pull off the old switch and bait. It involved money that she claimed she couldn't put in a bank ... well, I told her I could take her to the police station as well as the personal message I told them straight from God's lips to their ears! They were shocked and then scared and took off never to be seen again. The moral of the story is to be cautious, trust God and never let your guard down.
Amen to that I'm 62 years old and a veteran who has had 2 back surgery s in 2years and now I can hardly walk being former Marine it's always been hard to ask for help instead I helped other's but now uuuuhhhhgggg disability doesn't I repeat doesn't pay crap I get 545,00 a month and my wife and I still have our youngest son staying home cause he's only 16 last month
You know most code enforcement officers don’t really about the circumstances. This guy who has been directing you to homes really seems to have a heart for people who need help.
We need more Al's in this world. Al you always go the extra mile, not just the lawns but the people you encounter reap the benefits of you. God bless 🎉
Al that guy in black looks like he could have really been sketchy! 😳The way you treated him with dignity, respect and love was quite impressive. You truly have a good soul. Bless you and keep at it!
I found your channel awhile ago and I love that you help people. From a mother who use to do it all to a PMS woman who can't stand and walk much anymore without falling over. It restorers my faith that there are still people like you. My 24 year old son helps me and it is so nice to see there are others out there. God bless you and all you do. From a person that knows not to take life for granted. Thank you for all you do!!!!!
Thought sure it was a rock but you said it was a log , I like how even after someone stolen something from your truck your still helping people no matter where you are , way to pay it forward Al ! Keep up the great work !!
Many thanks to the code enforcement guy. Helping this 92 year old elder, was so appreciated I’m sure. You did a fantastic job on this property. I’m sure the neighbors are happy as well. PS. Have you heard from AP? I haven’t seen any videos from him lately. I hope all is well. Blessings to you and your family🥰
Hi AL, you handled the situation with the people well. As I am a fan of what you, AP, and others do to help people, I miss AP. I hope he is alright and that he will be back soon.❤
Al, firstly I would like to thank you for cleaning up this elderly ladies property. Don’t know where that was but I was very nervous regarding that man with the rod, what was he sharpening them for? You handled the situation with calm, good, there are so many aggressive people around. Regards to you from Australia 🇦🇺
Must say Al the wizard in black would have received a totally different reaction from me, I dare say a 92 year old woman on her own seeing him rummaging around her property would have a totally different take on it ,but you being you ,you always see the good in people Im not sure I could do that ,but hey no harm done he jogged on
You handled that guy with kindness but with awareness. I was so worried about you. Please be careful. I know the elderly home owner was very grateful. I will pray she stays safe as well.
@@joanlovelace7338didn’t sound rude, he was just stating that it was stated in the beginning of the video. Some people skip intros or have it sped up. Do you feel better for being rude?
It is amazing how hard work and a kind, generous person like you Al can really turn not only some very neglected properties around but at the same time share some love. The folks that you help are getting a gift of peace of mind knowing someone took the time to ease their stress while getting an emotional boost.
You really need a TV SHOW! It would really open a lot of people’s eyes as to how hard many people have it and what they are going through. Plus, it would go along way to show how helping others is the way to go! Stay Safe out there! Another great video! 😁🔥💕
Al, Stay Safe and Keep your stuff LOCKED as always! GOD watch Al, that he’s helping a lot of most especially the elderly yard works! GOD BLESSED ✝️🙏🏽🙏🏽
I always love the critter cam we get each week. I was edgy just watching this weeks. I watch Al and SB mowing, and I've always wondered why they don't park their trucks in front of the house they work on, or in the driveway. Stay safe Al.♥
Me too! I also watch Spencer of SB Mowing and I noticed they both do it... Sometimes there's not enough room to park in the driveway, but sometimes there is. But, at the very least, park right in front of the house so you can see your truck at all (or most of the) times...
My husband loves watching you and your friend do these yard makeovers. He always says he wishes he could get out and do all that again. Andwishes someone around here in Aberdeen, MD did this sort of thing. Be safe and keep up the good work!
It would be so great if there were more kind people in this world, and if cities and towns would stop punishing people for when they're not able to take care of the basics like yard work. It seems the only way to 'help' folks is give them citations and laugh at them on social media - as if that is going to make it better. Also I hope you stay hydrated in this hot hot hot weather.
Our town only gives them to people who are just sloppy and choose to have disgusting yards. Everyone else that needs actual help gets it before code enforcement even notices there’s a problem. Pretty normal way of living in the southern states outside of the metros
I get what you're saying, but not taking care of a property leads to blight. No one wants to live next to a blighted property. I know it's hard, but many times, those owners refuse help from neighbors because they are embarrassed, or neighbors are unwilling to help due to time constraints or other reasons. That said, people like Al are a godsend, for selflessly helping others in need.
@@Dusk1962 Nothing BS about it. As I said, they might not ask others, whether it be family or neighbors, for help. Often times, these properties still have occupants who are unable to cut their own grass or take care of their yards, or even themselves. There could be mental health issues, or people are just embarrassed and stick their heads in the sand, hoping the problem will just disappear, when instead it gets worse! I'm sure you've seen episodes of "Hoarders" where people have really gone off the deep end. Who knows why? There comes a time when people should help others, and Al is doing a great job of that! I think he has also inspired others to do the same and help people in need. It only takes a moment to help someone else. So maybe instead of saying other people's comments are "BS", you can have some humility in your life and learn what is right and what is wrong.
I hope that guy wasn’t making tools for nefarious purposes or weapons. Al is such a great guy. Hate that he has to deal with sketchy people-like that guy in a previous video. If I remember correctly, this “passerby” was trying to steal out of the inside of Al’s truck (it was locked) so guy just made off with a weed eater that wasn’t locked down. (Forgive me if I don’t have the facts 100%) Keep up the great work, Al!
You are blessed with an "engaging personality " Al which enhances your interactions with people. It's clearly a gift. God bless you man. The love of God shines through you strong!
I dropped my jaw when you cut up those trees with your mower. I have my 72 birthday coming up. I've always wanted a simple little riding mower. I live alone and do all my own yard work. I love your channel. I had no idea UA-cam pays so much for your videos. WOW!! The new things I've learned watching you. Well God does bless you son. Paying it forward is the right thing to do. 😊 Keep doing what your doing. 😂🎉🎉❤
I used to cut grass in the biggest mobile home park in Madison County, Illinois, when I was about 26 and up. I enjoy watching you work and helping people out. Reminds me there is still kindness in the world. 😊 Awesome job. Thanks for caring and sharing.
Hey Al, great job on the yard. I'm sure the lady really appreciate your kindness. FYI: Next time (hopefully not) be aware that when a person sharpens the end of a stick is to make a weapon. Drum sticks are sharpen by beats and rhythm not a sharp end. If possible have AP with you when you go back in the area. God bless and be safe. Hawaii 🌺🙏
Al, I have nothing but respect for you for the work you do and the kindness with which you do it. I love that you not only demonstrate it, but you challenge your viewers to also go and do likewise. Much love and blessings to you, Al! ❤
Man please be careful. I know you have a good heart and seem to be very trusting and helpful to these people, but please keep your wits and safe distance. Always trust your gut and protect yourself first so you can continue to help others as you do. The world needs Al Bladez around a long long time!
The channel is growing because God is blessing you for all the good works you're doing !!!! And I, for one, am grateful you are blessing us all by sharing this incredible, rewarding adventure with us.
AL there's many people be lurking around. You may not always see them. But they see you. Stay ready so you won't have to get ready. Do whatever you need to do to protect yourself. Any means necessary. Keep your truck and all equipment locked up. I'm so glad I found you. I enjoy watching the videos. I have the utmost respect for you! And your partner. Because y'all an inspiration. You all inspired other's to do a good deed for other's. God bless you always. Keep reaching your greater is near 🙏
The homeless man seemed to have mental health and boundary issues. I hope he can find peace in this life. Nice to see the little chainsaw at work, it's a cool little tool! I said the same thing when I saw it in the preview, "What the heck did he run over", lol! Stay safe out there Al! Another beautiful transformation!!
Great job Al👏🏻👏🏻 law enforcement and fire dept must appreciate you cutting down all trees, schrubs, grass junk around the houses you clean up. Get rid of all hiding places around abandon properties.
Stay safe out there. I'm glad you were able to hook up with the code enforcement officer. That is very considerable of him to help these ppl out. Great job!
So sweet of you to give that dude dressed in black water and not tell him to leave - I don't think I'd feel safe enough to deal with him. And I appreciate how you help out people!
Respect to that code enforcement officer for trying to get some people help rather than just citing everyone.
I like that to working together. Makes things better
Here in Canada, attempting to advocate for Canadians as a RCMP officer, ends you up in Jail. We are under complete Dictatorship under Turdo.
I agree it's refreshing to see people work together than against each other
yes.

Al, it shows what a genuine person you truly are. You treated that gentleman as a human being and not as a freak. Yet you were aware of the surroundings. What a wonderful person you are. You are the greatest. Can't wait for your videos every week. In Arizona so they come on at ten. I'm 85 and try to keep my life. Experiences positive. You are awesome.
Totally agree😃
looked great, but please be careful out there! we sure don't want anything to happen to you!!
I can just imagine the relief this 92 year old lady felt when the yard was brought back to life. You are a good man.
God bless the Code Enforcement Officer for getting her help instead of giving her a fine. God bless you Al for doing the job. ❤️🙏🙏🌟🌟👍👍❤️
Hello France how are you doing today
Hello France how are you doing today
I am a 70 year old senior who is just getting over triple bypass surgery last year, love your show, gives me faith that there is kindness and concern for others out there. Keep up the good work.
I hope that you are making a full recovery from your surgery. That’s a scary one!❤
Hoping also you have people to help you while you heal. I realize this is 2 months ago, so you’re probably doing much better now.
My mom has had two open heart surgeries and it’s definitely a long healing process. Sending love from Texas. God bless you.
Your such a good bloke , the way you were with that homeless guy showed what a kind person you are, I wish you blessings .
Al, you're helping this lady out really does help the community. It lets the rif raf know that somebody is looking and watching
Hello Stephanie how are you doing today
Al you taught me today the way you handled the sketchy guy to be cautious and caring things don't have to be met with aggression in today's troubled times. We need more people in the world like you ❤🫂
so your nice to the guy and 20 minutes later he's made off with your $650 blower...
Be careful out there Al. Lots of crazy things happening now & some poor souls are very lost and disturbed. I'm always praying for God to watch over you as you continue to show others love by helping them out. You're a good man Al, God Bless you brother! 🙏🥰😇
I saw you on the Boring Channel and you guys are both my hero's. The help you give these homeowners is much more than a yard and house fix-up, I'm sure it helps their self-esteem and feelings of self-worth. Bless You!
We live in a world with ‘colourful characters’, stay safe out there. You handled the situation really well & better than most of us would have.
You’re one of only a few earthly angels.
Stay safe out in the sketchy neighborhoods bro Al....God bless and protect you!
Al, helping the world, one yard at a time. Good job Al!
The way you handle and treat strangers is what makes you special my friend
I am 60 years old and loving watching you do these yards! I still run a weedeater like no one else with trimming ect. I love clearing the worst lots! I work for state of Florida! Ranger I am! Before that worked with my dad clearing VA and hud houses abandoned best times! I love the way you do not care about being clean cut or what people think about your appearance! Way to go blades! Your awesome!
I love the partnership you and the code enforcement officer have built. You guys are like a super hero power combo!…and it’s really heartwarming that he’s looking to help those who really need it. He’s not just cruising around looking to heartlessly write citation after citation, he really takes the time to understand why the homeowner isn’t getting the yard in order; which is so commendable.
If I didn’t live across the country I’d bake you both cookies😊Please let him know how much we appreciate him and notice how beautiful of a heart he has.
Al, I know you’re going through a rough time and I pray you get back to your old self soon. Surrounding yourself with people like this could be so uplifting and help you ease back into what you clearly love doing; plus, you’d know you’d have the backing of a city employee who can vouch for you and steer you to those who will really appreciate it and not have a meltdown over stupid gardenias that will grow back because you and AP merely cut them and didn’t pull the roots out (ridiculous). I myself have had a rough 4 1/2 years; first with a serious neck injury and now with two extremely large abdominal growths that have been difficult to see a surgeon for. I handled the neck injury horribly and pretty much shut all my emotions off and shut myself away from everyone. I knew that wasn’t healthy, so I’ve made a conscious effort to handle this new, terrifying, diagnosis the complete opposite way. I let myself feel all the emotions, cry when I need to, but also allow people in to help support me, and take comfort in God’s presence, know he has a plan/reason…I just haven’t figured it out yet. He has the same for you and He will sort this all out in His time; which often doesn’t align with what we want, but will all make sense in the end. You got this! I believe in you.
You really got to get AP or someone with you when you are in sketchy areas. Help watch your stuff and watch your six.
Totally agree
Very nice job Al! I was worried when that man in black approached. Thanks for taking care of that 92yr. old woman’s property. I’m sure she felt blessed by your generosity, kindness,& hard work. Please stay safe, healthy, productive,& hydrated.”Cut it up!”💯💕👏🏾💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
Si todos fueran como Al, el mundo no tendría dificultades, todos ayudándonos a todos. GBY!🙏😊
i LOVE the use of capital letters to get us in here. Then blowing us away with great wholesome content. U rock AL.
God blessed you Al. You are truly blessed. Compassion and kindness is a pretty rare trait for people today. You are a 'faith restorer' for sure. Thank you Al.
I’m feeling this overwhelming emotion for this lady who has to look out her windows and go to bed at night scared of those people who wonder the streets especially at night. I saw a window boarded up and felt deep compassion for her. I don’t want to be that old and live alone. Great job as usual Al..
Al, you have the kindest, most loving heart. I would not have been willing to interact with that Darth Vader guy and you showed pure loving kindness, even helping him with his drumsticks (!?) and giving him water. You’re actions and moral compass are very inspiring.❤❤❤
Darth Vader guy 😂❤
Al, one reason of many for my following you is that while there is sketchy people, you seem to understand that everyone has a story. You have a way to try to diffuse situations before they escalate. On top of that you do great transformations. 👍
Hello Phyllis how are you doing today
@@NelsonAnthony-xs7fd Heiio Nelson
Good Job, Al. You are a blessing to the people. Prayers going up.🙏
Doesn't cost anything to be kind. Way to go, Al!
Al you are a real great guy! You even offered that sketchy dude a water. That act of kindness probably saved your life! Who knows what he might have been planning!
A few years ago I had a woman ask for help and it was a setup with the second person in the background waiting to pull off the old switch and bait. It involved money that she claimed she couldn't put in a bank ... well, I told her I could take her to the police station as well as the personal message I told them straight from God's lips to their ears! They were shocked and then scared and took off never to be seen again. The moral of the story is to be cautious, trust God and never let your guard down.
I agree, I really do!
You're a good guy Al. We should all be helping the elderly and disabled.👍👏👏
Amen to that I'm 62 years old and a veteran who has had 2 back surgery s in 2years and now I can hardly walk being former Marine it's always been hard to ask for help instead I helped other's but now uuuuhhhhgggg disability doesn't I repeat doesn't pay crap I get 545,00 a month and my wife and I still have our youngest son staying home cause he's only 16 last month
You know most code enforcement officers don’t really about the circumstances. This guy who has been directing you to homes really seems to have a heart for people who need help.
I love how Al works so fast & doesn't keep stopping & talking because actions speak louder than words❤
We need more Al's in this world. Al you always go the extra mile, not just the lawns but the people you encounter reap the benefits of you. God bless 🎉
Al that guy in black looks like he could have really been sketchy! 😳The way you treated him with dignity, respect and love was quite impressive. You truly have a good soul. Bless you and keep at it!
Congrats on 1M Subscribers Al🎉 Thank you💯💚
Hi my friend how are you doing today
Great job Al for helping this 92 year old woman!
I found your channel awhile ago and I love that you help people. From a mother who use to do it all to a PMS woman who can't stand and walk much anymore without falling over. It restorers my faith that there are still people like you. My 24 year old son helps me and it is so nice to see there are others out there. God bless you and all you do. From a person that knows not to take life for granted. Thank you for all you do!!!!!
I'm glad you cleaned up her place. So nice of you Al
Hello Diane how are you doing today?
Mad respect to Al, considering the major heat and humidity we've been having in FL this year. Heart of gold, my man.
Thought sure it was a rock but you said it was a log , I like how even after someone stolen something from your truck your still helping people no matter where you are , way to pay it forward Al ! Keep up the great work !!
Many thanks to the code enforcement guy. Helping this 92 year old elder, was so appreciated I’m sure. You did a fantastic job on this property. I’m sure the neighbors are happy as well. PS. Have you heard from AP? I haven’t seen any videos from him lately. I hope all is well. Blessings to you and your family🥰
Hello Joyce how are you doing today
I have been wondering if AP is okay too , he hasn't put anything up for about a month , hope that he is ok.
@@docdonsmith Oh I see that's okay I'm Nelson
@@robinhays1011 What's your name
Hi AL, you handled the situation with the people well. As I am a fan of what you, AP, and others do to help people, I miss AP. I hope he is alright and that he will be back soon.❤
Al, firstly I would like to thank you for cleaning up this elderly ladies property. Don’t know where that was but I was very nervous regarding that man with the rod, what was he sharpening them for? You handled the situation with calm, good, there are so many aggressive people around. Regards to you from Australia 🇦🇺
You’re a class act Al. God bless you and keep on keeping you safe. This was such a nice deed to help this senior lady. 🇺🇸❤️✝️
Must say Al the wizard in black would have received a totally different reaction from me, I dare say a 92 year old woman on her own seeing him rummaging around her property would have a totally different take on it ,but you being you ,you always see the good in people Im not sure I could do that ,but hey no harm done he jogged on
You handled that guy with kindness but with awareness. I was so worried about you. Please be careful. I know the elderly home owner was very grateful. I will pray she stays safe as well.
It’s scary knowing that this elderly lady lives by herself. Praying for God’s protection.
She does not live there. She and her late husband own several properties. Seems that Al made that clear in his opening remarks.
@leecarey4645.
Obviously, she missed that but do you need to be rude about it, make you feel better!
@@joanlovelace7338didn’t sound rude, he was just stating that it was stated in the beginning of the video. Some people skip intros or have it sped up. Do you feel better for being rude?
I doubt that she lives here. She has several properties and this is one of them.
Do you?
@@Laura-ps9ik
Never turn your back, on people that looks shady. Stay save out there Al ❤
It is amazing how hard work and a kind, generous person like you Al can really turn not only some very neglected properties around but at the same time share some love. The folks that you help are getting a gift of peace of mind knowing someone took the time to ease their stress while getting an emotional boost.
You really need a TV SHOW! It would really open a lot of people’s eyes as to how hard many people have it and what they are going through. Plus, it would go along way to show how helping others is the way to go! Stay Safe out there! Another great video! 😁🔥💕
With over a million subscribers I think he is getting the message of compassion to the masses.😁
Al, Stay Safe and Keep your stuff LOCKED as always! GOD watch Al, that he’s helping a lot of most especially the elderly yard works! GOD BLESSED ✝️🙏🏽🙏🏽
I always love the critter cam we get each week. I was edgy just watching this weeks. I watch Al and SB mowing, and I've always wondered why they don't park their trucks in front of the house they work on, or in the driveway. Stay safe Al.♥
Me too! I also watch Spencer of SB Mowing and I noticed they both do it...
Sometimes there's not enough room to park in the driveway, but sometimes there is. But, at the very least, park right in front of the house so you can see your truck at all (or most of the) times...
My husband loves watching you and your friend do these yard makeovers. He always says he wishes he could get out and do all that again. Andwishes someone around here in Aberdeen, MD did this sort of thing. Be safe and keep up the good work!
You're an excellent human being, Al.
I think I would get the driveway clean,then park my equipment there,might keep someone from stealing it.
Hello Nancy how are you doing today
It would be so great if there were more kind people in this world, and if cities and towns would stop punishing people for when they're not able to take care of the basics like yard work. It seems the only way to 'help' folks is give them citations and laugh at them on social media - as if that is going to make it better. Also I hope you stay hydrated in this hot hot hot weather.
Our town only gives them to people who are just sloppy and choose to have disgusting yards. Everyone else that needs actual help gets it before code enforcement even notices there’s a problem. Pretty normal way of living in the southern states outside of the metros
I get what you're saying, but not taking care of a property leads to blight. No one wants to live next to a blighted property. I know it's hard, but many times, those owners refuse help from neighbors because they are embarrassed, or neighbors are unwilling to help due to time constraints or other reasons. That said, people like Al are a godsend, for selflessly helping others in need.
@@BradM73You do know elderly people can no longer care for their yards and may not know where to turn for help. Therefore your comment is BS.
@@Dusk1962 Nothing BS about it. As I said, they might not ask others, whether it be family or neighbors, for help. Often times, these properties still have occupants who are unable to cut their own grass or take care of their yards, or even themselves. There could be mental health issues, or people are just embarrassed and stick their heads in the sand, hoping the problem will just disappear, when instead it gets worse! I'm sure you've seen episodes of "Hoarders" where people have really gone off the deep end. Who knows why? There comes a time when people should help others, and Al is doing a great job of that! I think he has also inspired others to do the same and help people in need. It only takes a moment to help someone else. So maybe instead of saying other people's comments are "BS", you can have some humility in your life and learn what is right and what is wrong.
Good job Al helping that older person, big garden for her to look after❤❤wilts🇬🇧🇬🇧
Yes! BLADEZ 2024 Al, you're such a joy, thank you for the wonderful generosity you give to the world.
Hello Kim how are you doing today
I hope that guy wasn’t making tools for nefarious purposes or weapons. Al is such a great guy. Hate that he has to deal with sketchy people-like that guy in a previous video. If I remember correctly, this “passerby” was trying to steal out of the inside of Al’s truck (it was locked) so guy just made off with a weed eater that wasn’t locked down. (Forgive me if I don’t have the facts 100%) Keep up the great work, Al!
Al you are a good person. Protect yourself. Mental health and substance abuse are everyday issues in all communities.
You are a very trusting person....be careful out there, especially being by yourself. Great videos!
You are blessed with an "engaging personality " Al which enhances your interactions with people. It's clearly a gift. God bless you man. The love of God shines through you strong!
Al & AP's early mowing videos emphasized helping people in need and not judging on just what you see. He's still doing the good deeds.❤
I dropped my jaw when you cut up those trees with your mower. I have my 72 birthday coming up. I've always wanted a simple little riding mower. I live alone and do all my own yard work.
I love your channel. I had no idea UA-cam pays so much for your videos. WOW!!
The new things I've learned watching you.
Well God does bless you son. Paying it forward is the right thing to do. 😊
Keep doing what your doing. 😂🎉🎉❤
I used to cut grass in the biggest mobile home park in Madison County, Illinois, when I was about 26 and up. I enjoy watching you work and helping people out. Reminds me there is still kindness in the world. 😊 Awesome job. Thanks for caring and sharing.
It is so refreshing to see that there are still some good people in the world. Thank you for caring.
Hello Barb how are you doing today
Hey Al, great job on the yard. I'm sure the lady really appreciate your kindness. FYI: Next time (hopefully not) be aware that when a person sharpens the end of a stick is to make a weapon. Drum sticks are sharpen by beats and rhythm not a sharp end. If possible have AP with you when you go back in the area. God bless and be safe. Hawaii 🌺🙏
Hello Stephanie how are you doing today
Stephanie, I agree with you...
@@dannab3660 Hello Danna
Al, I have nothing but respect for you for the work you do and the kindness with which you do it. I love that you not only demonstrate it, but you challenge your viewers to also go and do likewise. Much love and blessings to you, Al! ❤
I’m trying to imagine that there was a day when this house was once brand new and filled with life, love, and joy.
Man please be careful. I know you have a good heart and seem to be very trusting and helpful to these people, but please keep your wits and safe distance. Always trust your gut and protect yourself first so you can continue to help others as you do. The world needs Al Bladez around a long long time!
The channel is growing because God is blessing you for all the good works you're doing !!!! And I, for one, am grateful you are blessing us all by sharing this incredible, rewarding adventure with us.
You’ve got a kind soul. Very good deed for offering water and not judging. Be safe out there. Another great job !
Hello Lynda how are you doing today
I was worried the whole time about someone stealing off your truck. You are so kind to help everyone. As always great job!
You rock Al, your caring for others is amazing! God bless you! ❤
Thank you for being so kind and helping 😃
AL there's many people be lurking around. You may not always see them. But they see you. Stay ready so you won't have to get ready. Do whatever you need to do to protect yourself. Any means necessary. Keep your truck and all equipment locked up. I'm so glad I found you. I enjoy watching the videos. I have the utmost respect for you! And your partner. Because y'all an inspiration. You all inspired other's to do a good deed for other's. God bless you always. Keep reaching your greater is near 🙏
The homeless man seemed to have mental health and boundary issues. I hope he can find peace in this life. Nice to see the little chainsaw at work, it's a cool little tool! I said the same thing when I saw it in the preview, "What the heck did he run over", lol! Stay safe out there Al! Another beautiful transformation!!
Great job Al👏🏻👏🏻 law enforcement and fire dept must appreciate you cutting down all trees, schrubs, grass junk around the houses you clean up. Get rid of all hiding places around abandon properties.
The guy with the long black trench coat looked like the grim reaper. Thank you Al for CV helping out that old lo lady! Your Awesome
That red machine is amazing. It cuts through branches and everything. Be safe Al. Lots of loonies out and about!
Stay safe out there. I'm glad you were able to hook up with the code enforcement officer. That is very considerable of him to help these ppl out. Great job!
Hello Michelle how are you doing today
I really hope you have a way to protect yourself
Two words…The Happening 🤪
You ever had your face weed eatered? Me either, bet it hurts.
@JJPHILLYLG M. Night is a messed up cat but makes a good film.
Especially with the craziness going on nowadays
Meth is a hell of a drug
So sweet of you to give that dude dressed in black water and not tell him to leave - I don't think I'd feel safe enough to deal with him. And I appreciate how you help out people!
That was sketchy for sure but am glad you stayed safe and even helped him out. Bless you for being a good soul
Hi Al!! That was a great transformation. Keep doing what you are doing for others. Have a beautiful day. 😊❤
