transkript: I will carry out this project predominantly by hand with only small machines. I'd like to show you how to do such a job at a manageable cost. Alright then let's get started, because there is a lot to do. First of all, the entire area of approximately 1000 square meters has to be mowed. For this, I use my Stihl brush cutter FS350 with a brush knife. The entire above ground overgrowth is cut and shredded. Not just the long grass but also the blackberries, stinging nettles and everything else that’s growing here, has to go. It’s also important that you cut down the matted layers of overgrowth that has accumulated over the years. The lower you cut everything off, the easier the following work steps will be. It makes sense to carry out this work in the cold part of the year, outside of the growing season. In summer, the blackberries will be especially problematic. Their long, green shoots can wrap themselves around the knives, jamming them up. In winter, preferably during a frost, is the best time to chop them. So I work systematically throughout the entire area. If some places are particularly overgrown, you can go over it twice. The advantage of the brush cutter, is that it can also be used on bumpy terrain. Once the area has been trimmed down, all the clippings must be removed. This is done by hand with a rake, fork and wheelbarrow. We bring the shredded matter to a desolate area on the property. And since it doesn’t have to be driven off to a different location, it saves on cost and effort. It also ensures that the plant seeds in the biomass can re-establish locally. Even for small animals and insects, the layer of shredded mass is a welcome habitat. And this is how the area looks like. Next, the fence is dismantled. It is a chain link fence with recycled plastic posts. I will disassemble the fence in such a way that it can be used again. Saving and reusing materials saves resources and protects the climate and your homeland. The advantage of these recycle posts is that they are very durable and do not rot compared to wooden posts. The wire mesh is coated with plastic and durable for decades. Ok the fence is removed and now I mow the lawn as short as possible. Now the tiller comes into the picture. I have an old Agria 1800. This machine is very old, but also stable. The heavy design makes them a bit unwieldy. The working width is 80cm. Newer tillers are much easier to operate. I would advise you to borrow a tiller. You can also buy one, but beware, cheap models will quickly reach their limits on harder soil. Regardless if it’s new or not, these machines are to be used with caution. The strong tilling machines are very dangerous. In any case, get detailed instructions on the machine when you buy or borrow one. For safety reasons, I’m wearing steel-reinforced safety boots. But letting a specialist do the tilling, is probably in most circumstances, the best solution. So I go over the surface multiple times with the tiller, until the ground is nice and loose. The biggest problems in this case are the long roots from the wild blackberries, which frequently get tangled around the knives. I have to stop the tiller a few times to remove the roots from the knives. #backyardtransformation #lawn #landscaping - Авто та транспорт
Did I search for this video? No
Did UA-cam recommend this? Yes
Did I watch the whole thing? Yes
Oh i searched it
Me too.
Do I own a lawn? No
Are you alone in this situation? No
Did we all watch it all? Yes, of course.
Did we like it? Yes
someone tell me why i found this so entertaining?
I kinda of was not liking the robot like voice, random cuts and different long breaks.
We are drawn to any expertly executed reversal of entropy as an escape, however feeble, from our unwavering and relentless march towards the inevitable heat death of the the universe. Also it’s so pretty 😬
Idk
You like what you like
Because we're in quarantine and anything is entertaining
This is the landscaper you want, thinks about the environment first. How to redistribute the land and life to benefit it in the future for not just the people but the animals that live there too.
shame he uses a diesel mower though..
omg what a liberal turd.
@@daniellettry4430 a cows fart is more toxic than that mower
@@bloopnation Why are you so negative, Cheer up mate, no need to be like that go outside and smile.
Not really. He destroyed the biodiversity of a huge area in order to create a high-maintenance, water-wasting, utterly boring, monoculture American lawn.
When your dad asks for your help for a minute:
A whole weekend later...
Honestly
Jake Knight joatnh
hahahaha so true, best comment.
Its the oposite way round for me. Dad pops over to bring his chainsaw. Ends up comutting 10 trees down litrally
You are the first lawn guy here on YT to drop a few words on the environment and the animals. Great to hear at least a few people still care.
After watching this, I just want to drop everything I'm doing and start a landscaping business.
the grass definitely made house worth more. good job.
A lot more
He sounds like he would narrate How Its Made or a BBC documentary.
Yeah. I think he will do better narrating How Its Made
Yeah it’s really peacefull to watch. Just watched every second of the video quietly staring at my screen
I would suggest watching Lemino, he sounds similar and does some amazing videos
its the music as well
Or "How To Basic".
I love how well thought out and detailed this guy's process is. I would have simply thrown the cut brush into the garbage.
Where I used to live in Ca we had the regular trash totes/cans that they pick up once a week, and also ones for greenery. So like tree branches, weeds, lawn clippings, so on.
dang i want someone to landscape my yard and i dont even have a yard
your profile picture matches your comment.
Exquisite me too!
Same 😞😣
“In winter, especially during a frost, is the best time to chop them”
Excellent advice.
I cannot conceive the mind of a person who dislikes this video. I'm a car guy but I still find this video really useful and interesting.
You clicked the video and got a landscaper doing his job nothing is to be disliked because you clicked this for that reason
There are many reasons for disliking a video. It's not hard to conceive if you open your mind to possibilities and look for ways that a video could be different or better. Maybe the person wanted more before/after photos. Maybe they felt the video focused too much on something, or was too long, or didn't show enough of something they wanted to see, or the creator didn't explain something or provide enough information. These may all be immaterial for you, but you are not these people. I don't conceive of a world where 100% of people agree with me, and it's really troubling how many times people leave these kind of comments. "I can't believe some people in the world disagree with me." Just say that out loud.
@@michaelscott-joynt3215 I know that but I am saying from most veiw points you got what you want
@@michaelscott-joynt3215 that's why comments exist you can ask questions about something you didn't understand .
And I wanted to share my thoughts about this video.
@@michaelscott-joynt3215 also i have thought about the reasons to dislike before i wrote the reply so it would make sense because mostly to brighten peoples days i have had an open mind i made the reply because most people would not put to deep of thought into it, it is for entertainment because i can do this to see my effects on peoples days i like helping people laugh because i have depression i like to forget i have it no matter how much happens in my life i like to change others make them happy so i can forget sorry for the long rerereply and sounding like half the stupid "depressed" 14 year olds so dont get mad at this reply i am just writing my thoughts btw i like your reply helping others open thier mind.
As the Aretha F. song goes, R E S P E C T. I have done this before and it's not easy work. However it's relaxing to watch someone else do it. Now that I'm getting older 52, I'll stick to the heavy machinery performing these back breaking task.
I just did a similar job in my son's yard. I did so with a rake, small pruning shears & twine. I raked the leaves & debris out of the way. I then pruned raspberry bushes gone wild & I tied them up to train them to stay up after years of being flattened & entwined in the rubble. We've had some steady rain in the days since this project was started & I'm hopeful we will have a beautiful area this summer!
Oh wow, first of all the lawn is so beautiful but the most beautiful thing in this video I saw was your wonderful kind soul, so so wonderful to see
thank you
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 67 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 🖤
This is so relaxing to watch and listen to! Also - Carl leveling the ground by stepping all over it is ridiculously adorable.
I did a similar job on my old house years ago, the only difference was I dug it by hand and I left it bare for 3 months and sprayed twice to kill all the weeds that grew back, it was full of prickles and burs so had to be done. I then put down compost and hand planted a buffalo lawn made from cuttings I took from my neighbours yard with their permission. After 3 years of careful tending and weeding regularly by hand it was easily the best lawn in town with zero weeds, I used to get compliments about it all the time. 10 years later and I live in a new house but my old lawn is still very impressive and Ive started to create a new one
I did something similar to my old lawn and now when i drive past the old house i feel like i'm stalking! Thinking to myself, '' I see you enjoying that beautiful lawn i put in, perhaps you could give your dog a bit of brewers yeast to rid your lawn of burn spots''.
Thank you for your care and commitment to the environment. You are doing a good thing by spreading this message. People are listening 🌏🌎🌍
Very satisfying to see the catch bag used on the lawnmower.
This was so helpful, thanks. Every landscaper has told me removing 30 tonnes and replacing the soil is the only way. Just goes to show
glad if this helped, good luck with your project
I like how you narrate in your videos. It's relaxing like Bob Ross!!! Happy Trees!!
everybody needs a friend
This makes me want to become a gardener - Designing and re-shaping yards is very satisfying, and you’re also able to use creativity to some extent!
I dunno why this was recommended, I’ve already watched it once about 6 months ago... Did I watch it again? Sure I did, a master at work 👍🏻🤣🇷🇴🇬🇧
That old tiller was very cool. Older machines were made to last.
I love how environmentally friendly he is! It really makes me think that some people do care about our habitat (and animal habitats too!)
Whyre you the father figure everyone in the comments needs? You’re so calm and inviting! 😭🥺
I've always believed that hard work is its own reward, but this has taken that to a new level. Other than the videos of little guys in the Amazon building swimming pools by hand, I have never seen such labor intensive activity.
Amazing! Beautiful. I love before and after. The narration wasn't irritating. Very confidant and soothing.👍
Wow!
That is amazing.
I really like your attention for environment. No poisons, reusing things etc..
Great job done here!
I went from watching hours of draining street drains to watching this video.
Get help
Same
same my guy
you came from post 10 huh
@@Wrld-ce3rc yep, too addicting
Thank you for explaining why you don't need poisons and anti-weed chemicals. The consistent mowing helps control the weeds and unwanted growth. Amazing!
As a single parent I wish I had someone to do this to my lawn so my child can play safely in my backyard
I was not expecting it to be pretty much all done by hand. I was expecting huge machines! awesome job
ur voice is so calming🥺 also i love that u care for the environment and don’t just put aesthetics first ❤️
Yeah Engelbert-Strauss Pants 👍 Greetings from Germany.
This video is pure platinum, waaay waaaay better than gold🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you! This helped a lot but when you said you wasn’t worried about the roots for this project…… that’s my main issue to remove then I can do everything else you taught me. Thanks for the great details!
Good old sweat equity, hand tools and time. That's how I'm about to have to attack my back yard. This was a great video. Thank you!
Even though I have no interest in the video, I can clearly see this is Dedication to Carl. Brilliant work, Carl.
Holy crap your voice is so calming, it felt like I was watching a documentary or something. Really well done!
My dad did this at my sister's place then planted potatoes. They aerated the soil, and when they came up, the lawn went down. Was a great lawn.
This is exactly what I came looking for - thank you!
why am I watching this? I live in a third floor apartment....
it was quite informative tho...
This came in my feed, didn’t search for it but i watched the whole thing! It was awesome! 👍
Rando recommendation. Watched every second. Completely stunned. The effort and time this took in this short video. I need a beer after this. 😲🤜🏼🤛🏼
No you didn't because you blinked
It’s nice that you recycle.
finally a normal speed nice video. tired of those 80x speed trash videos. thanks
Thank you for posting... this is exactly what I needed for my property..
I'm glad to hear it, good luck with your project
Excellent video and narrative. Well done‼️🤗🤗
Gotta love the auto carpet created by nature to make it nice.
this is the kind of video that you know right off the bat it's worth subscribing for.
Brilliant! I especially love your eco-friendly efforts - you re-use materials, use the compost to fertilize nature nearby and improve animal habitats! These small consumption reductions can really help reduce the strain we are putting on our world!! Excellent! Subscribed!
never thought i would end up watching a video like this
but here i am, and i enjoyed every single second of it
Nice to have your own personal dump in your backyard
Thanks for sharing Carl. I've learned to mow or chop off regrowing weeds instead of using poison. A great tip, cheers.
Carl is a great landscaper! It's a lot of hard work! And I really like your reflections.
This is what quarantine has drove me to
We just did exactly this in our garden, except we only had a patch of 60sqm, kudos for doing it by hand on 1000sqm!!
What a video for the most Manual labor possible to do a landscape job
Nur wer selber diese Arbeit getan hat, weiß welche Leistung du erbracht hast, Hut ab.
Only those who have done such a job themselves know what work you have done, hats off.
Brought here at 1am and love what I saw buying a few acres this week and want to level the clear area of it without heavy equipment. Loved the constant environmental consern in this video!
thank you, glad you like it and hope it helps, good luck with your project, take care
This is a wholesome video
I don't know I got to this video, but I don't regret watching it. Great job mate.
Carl has a lot of spare time. I think this is carls place.
You did a good ass job. That’s a lot of work you made look easy. I’ve Donne the same thing on my bald spots on the lawn and it laughs at me telling I’m not growing nice try!! Yet you do it to a football field and in two week....green for miles.
Cleaning out my dad back yard it’s this plus tons of heavy trash this is exactly what I was looking for!!! You made it so informative and doable. Sometimes I think it’s to much work cut out for me. Thank you!
My brother I love this video , I didn't even realise i had liked it and subscribed before :-). Great video delivery and i love your planet friendly philosophy. You are a great guy nuff respec'
I love how you saved and recycled everything . It looks beautiful. And I learned a few things, thank you. All very interesting.
Didn’t know landscaping videos at 5am is so satisfying
Thank you for being environmentally responsable! Your videos are so informative; I’ve learned so much about landscaping.
Seems a bit silly to comment on it, but thank you for wearing ear protection. I have a bit of heating loss from working in the commercial printing industry. Ear protection was never addressed.
Great job, I especially like you did it without using big, expensive machines and without using any herbicides. 👍👍👍
thanks youtube, this is wholesome
Well done. Such a hard working man and all that sweat paid off. Thanks for sharing and stay blessed ✌️
why was this so satisfying
Welp I’ll be doing this now that I had some trees taken down and yard pushed back yesterday. Thanks for the video
Gosh, so simple without heavy equipment.Can’t wait for sping when i can try it on my 60000 square meter yard :)
This is exactly what I was looking for. We have some sloped areas overrun by thistle and I want to get it into more usable shape. So many of the videos I found were about seeding lawns in subdivisions. I wasn’t sure how to go about taming the bushland. Thank you!
This reminded me of How its Made. Thank you for such a relaxing and informative video.
Carl ,GRACIAS GRACIAS!! Saludos desde la hermosa isla caribeña Puerto Rico!!🐸🐦😄 el vídeo me gustó mucho. Bendiciones!!
.
muchas gracias
Is the government spying on me? I just did this to my backyard today and I find this in my recommended
Yes
I did something similar as well today, and lo' n' behold, here is this video on my recommended...
Oh my god! At first I thought you were doubling your yard, but than I realized you more than TRIPPLED it! You're lucky to have all that land! Your yard looks beautiful. Makes me want to get some grass seed for all the dirt patches in my tiny front yard.
I love your deep voice tbh, like a professional voice actor
Useful video, I liked that you’re respecting the land and avoiding unnecessary poisons and heavy gear. Some shots linger a little too long, but actually these slow videos really have their own charm. Cutting at the right moment should be a skill you’ve mastered though, eh?
The tiller may be old, but she's a workhorse!!
Very nice! You worked hard, systematically, and with patience and perseverance, achieved marvelous results.
Thank you very much!
Splendid! It must be so gratifying to get the intended result of our work. Thanks for the video. I will try this with my yard.
Wow, it looks so good! Great job!
All that patience paid off in the end, amazing job.
Thank you for being 🌎 friendly
omg if I succeed in my venture to get a house in a few years this is the video I need! Though instead of grass I'll be doing a thick layer of local clover.
Awesome video. I love how it's mostly manual and that's it not 100% perfect.
This is the most patience I have ever seen in a person
thanks for posting this, gives me inspiration to get our lawn back to looking normal. You make it look, not easy, but definitely possible.
was starting to like this guy but he's one of those help the planet people
was starting to like you but you are one of those "i dont care about the planet" people ;-)
Good job, grettings from Russia.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great informative video, this reminds me of a video I seen in 5th grade on how to do something beneficial...what a hard working man!
Incredible work. Am so inspired. Wastelands to a haven of beauty.
1 word, goats! They love the weeds
