- Today Blake and I went out to help this homeowner with an overgrown sidewalk. I cleaned up the sidewalk while Blake was able to take care of their overgrown lawn. Thank you all for all of your support of these videos. Without you watching, liking, and subscribing to both or our channels, none of this would be possible. We look forward to being able to help many more people with their overgrown lawn and to help keep people from getting city violations.

On behalf of all people who have to use a mobility device, thank you for making this sidewalk accessible and safe.
I was thinking the same thing, such a need for level spaces outdoors for those in wheelchairs and other devices
😂😂😂
Appart from the fact that its probably more of a trip hazard than before now where it has so many holes...
quand on voit l'état du béton, est-ce vraiment mieux que de l'herbe?
👏So true - trying to be independent when you rely on a mobility device especially a wheelchair and its like oh well I'm stuck now.. fuck sidewalks and also fuck snow! LOL
To the immense surprise of many of the neighbours, there was, in fact , a sidewalk in front of the entire house.
Garden archaeology at its finest.
I watch a lot of lawn care videos, but I don’t think I have ever seen one with the sidewalk covered in grass. It was a lot of work but you did a super job on the sidewalk and edging.
I have a couple of those in my neighborhood and when it rains it becomes a muddy mess.
As I watched you, shoveling that carpet of never-ending grass.......I was thinking about your back. That is a back breaking job. You both, did an amazing job. Makes me happy to see you guys helping out others that need assistance. God bless you.
I have never seen a sidewalk over grown like that. I'm surprised the city/town didn't complain about it and take steps to have it cleaned up years ago. You did a fantastic job. Thank you.
You transformed that house. If everyone were to mow and edge they would transform the whole town. Something that simple can change lives.
40:33 smart move.
It's amazing to see the damage the grass carpet did to the sidewalk. You guys did a great job.
On a side note I would've love to seen a power wash to that stone retaining wall. Afraid it might fall apart if it was done though.
Great job! I can't wait to see the whole block's sidewalks edged up and all taken care of, what a difference that will make.
I started to feel sorry for you for a little bit. Nice job guys.
LoL! My back hurt for a few days after this one.
It’s more brutal than I expected....
@@HFConstruction What is that disk attached to the weed eater?
@@wheelie642 it’s called the edge it pro. There is a link in the description of the video if you want to check it out.
@@HFConstruction
Take care of your back because once it's gone everything stops. I know.
Your hardwork will be talked about for weeks!Just seeing the sidewalk exposed is terrific!
Impressed with how good of shape that retaining wall is. Well built. I bet that was a very tidy neighborhood back in the day.
If I were to guess, the city put it in when they decided to do concrete sidewalks and needed a flat surface on one level
fun fact, this area in the video and really the whole town is set on the remnants of a mountain range, so there are a lot of lots with retaining walls because they were partially carved into these super old, low, mountains.
I have never ever seen a side walk ran over By grass in my lifetime, you have done a great job 👏
This was a crazy one for sure. Thank you!
That's a first for me as well, never seen grass over take a sidewalk like that, you did a great job fall river!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍
OMG!!!! I just knew you were getting into an area where the sidewalk was broken and had been taken up. I just kept hearing the shovel hit more concrete. LORD!!!! The corner lot strikes again. Pumpkins on the porch and no sidewalk. Don't know the circumstance but, WOW! Great job.
When we first saw this one we didn’t think there was a sidewalk but after we got out of the truck and took a closer look we were able to see that there was a sidewalk under there.
I love those yellow buckets. Being square certainly helps loading. 👍
They are called the square barrel. www.thesquarebarrel.com
This is what I was coming to ask! THANK YOU! These are so cool!
Thank-you for a great video! The work was so horrendous it was difficult to watch at times. Especially the shovel work which looked like it would break your back. It looks great! Thank-you on behalf of all the people who are unable to care for their own lawns! I most appreciate your patience! Thanks again, George
I hope the local chiropractor will provide you with a months worth of maintaince care for your back. You deserve it.
That would be fantastic!!!
You obviously drew the short straw on this, that side walk was horrendous, looks great now thanks to you. No gym for you today, your muscles got a great workout doing this. 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👌👌👌💯🍺🍺🍺💪💪💪🇬🇧
It was definitely a workout. Still a little sore….
The sidewalk, “I can breathe” 🤩
Whilst watching you removing the grass and soil from the sidewalk, this question suddenly popped into my head: where did that soil come from? It wasn't there before the grass grew over, so how did it get there? Did the growing grass somehow "bring" it over, or produce it even?? Which then made me wonder ... what exactly IS soil? What is the brown stuff ACTUALLY made from? Is it all just dead plant material piled up over time?? My brain can be really weird sometimes LOL
Excellent video! Very satisfying to watch and great result at the end!
When plant life decomposes, it creates soil, which attracts worms that aerate and fertilize it to maintain good health, etc. A ton of living microorganisms live in soil. Dirt is unhealthy soil. So that is why the health of soil is so important to raising good food.
That sidewalk was crazy and labor intensive. What an amazing clean up job !!!
Definitely a lot of hard work but it was worth it when there little kids came out and were excited about having more sidewalk to play on.
God bless ya for sticking with it!!! That's back breaking work!
I have been paying for it for a few days…. lol
That's what I call an excellent job. You made sure that everything was done the way it should. Congratulations.
Thank you!
Wow. That is one of the tough things to do, an overgrown..even lost...sidewalk. Thank you for your work.
It was definitely a hard days work. Thanks for watching and always leaving a comment! 👍🏻
Wow, I didn't think there was a sidewalk there. It seems that whole block is having problems getting their sidewalk cleaned. That was definitely overgrown, you did awesome job and one heck of a workout too. Hope you had awesome time with the family. 👍👍👍👍👍👍😉🇺🇸
That’s some backbreaking work! Looks so much better!!
It was definitely backbreaking…. I have been paying for it for the last few days!
WOW, there was a sidewalk there... I always worry about trick or treaters getting hurt. Thank you.
We were shocked as well. I didn’t actually think there was one there at first.
I still worry about trip hazards for the condition of that walkway. Most places say you are responsible for keeping it clear, not repairs
Wow !! Such overgrowth onto the sidewalks. Look's absolutely great 👍
Very nice, the sidewalk hasn't seen the light of day in years from the looks of it, that concrete is in bad shape for its age, the way it is cracked and broken apart is from when it was originally poured, more than likely it was a too thin (watery) mix, and being less than 4 inches thick and the municipalities not keeping up with its business of maintenance like it should, and yes, it also needs a good power washing along with the stone wall, both have black algae on them, still a great video, thanks for sharing
I’m not to sure how old that sidewalk is but it was definitely in bad shape. Hopefully now that it can be seen the city will come and replace it.
@@HFConstruction by any chance, do y'all do any pressure washing?, I have a really small business doing pressure washing here, along with some yard work, I have a limited production as I have arthritis in both knees and I have a problem with balance, so I have to limit myself to less strenuous labor, I do try to get out every day, just some days are bad, like when it's raining,
@@HFConstruction That extra driveway apron on the side, the one that leads to nowhere, made me wonder if it was intended for delivery trucks. It seemed to line up with the back of the house where I was pretty sure I saw an old coal shoot. If I'm right that would be a clue as to age of the sidewalk. Not many homes built recently with coal shoots. ;)
Beautiful cleaning up job! I bet the entire neighborhood is thankful for using this walking space again! God Bless you for your kindness!👍👍👍
I was wondering why there was no sidewalk near the steps. "Eureka!" You discovered the Sidewalk that Time forgot. This was back-breaking work, unearthing the sidewalk literally. 🔟🔟🔟🔟🔟 The square bucket bin is more practical than round bucket bins for lawn care cleanups. Do you also use the large bags, which would be lighter to tote around? Your method of edging is the most efficient I have seen. You tackle left and right concurrently, even if it is done for the camera POV. Other lawn care professionals may walk for "miles", up and down the sidewalk and curb.
This was my first day of using the square barrels and I love them. No need for a round barrel ever again!
@@HFConstruction Nice job on this lawn care I love your landscaping truck
I thought why is he cutting the grass edge , okay there's a sidewalk under there ! Would not of believed it ! That was some back breaking work , it looked so good afterwards ! Like your handy dandy orange bins , makes quick work of clean up 😊
Wow, that was intense labor on that sidewalk. I wonder, when you do jobs like this, is that it for the day? I mean, it takes a lot of energy to maintain a schedule like that, especially on free jobs, where the growth is "insane." Have to say,thank you and God bless for your time, labor and generosity.
On this one, that was it for the day. We spent about 5 to 6 hours here cleaning everything up.
God bless FRLC
Two videos in one. Time Team archeological dig and Yardman extraordinaire!! I didn’t believe there was a sidewalk under that grass 😳
Thank you for your very hard work to provide such a great gift to the whole community.
Hi Sirs, this was a lot of hard work certainly. This place has a better view. Again, what a huge work you did both. Thanks for all you did.
When the sidewalk needs to be mowed, it is definitely time for an intervention! 🙂 Seriously…this is so much work and time and so many people don’t have the physical ability, tools, or time to make this a priority. Once this is done by you awesome people, it will be easier to maintain in the future!
New subscriber here, love the edger and work ethic you have! great team work and blessings to others. Need more like you ! GOD BLESS 🙌
Holy smoke! Now that's what I call WORK. Good for you. This has got to be one of the most impressive videos I've watched. I now subscribe to your channel because of this video. Great job. God bless.
Super WOW! What a transformation! Nicely done!
Thank you!
The City had really neglected this neighborhood. Those sidewalks need repairing badly. No wonder they let it grass over. YOU did an amazing job. You're a true PRO.
Hi Guys, I'm watching you from "Down Under", and I'm amazed that you have to do the work that should be the job of "City" employees. I can only assume that in the US the home owner is responsible for cleaning the streets outside his property?
Here in Australia, we pay what are called "Council Rates", which is a form of land tax to the relevant city/suburb you live in and they employ people to take care of everything outside of your property, roads, pavements, kerbs, gutters for storm drainage etc. Basically everything that is not on you land.
Just this week I have had surveyors in my street as the gutters and kerbing have been raised by tree roots and so next week they will rip all that up and replace it with new.
Great job.
My 95 yr old grandmother use to say..you can even keep a barn clean.
Your work makes the whole area look better!
Awesome guys! Thank you for your kindness 🙏🏼❤️
Awesome job I'll show this to wife so she can lift up her game with the gardening.
@@maggiemae9099 Oh no she was overjoyed the other day when I sharpened her shovel and spade. She's getting gumboots and a wheelbarrow for xmas.
@@maggiemae9099 Since I retired she is the main earner now running a company with over 50 people. Gardening helps her relax while she has the dinner cooking.
@@maggiemae9099 I am using a small 1.8 ton excavator to clear five acres of gorse turning an eyesore into a meadow.
Thank you for caring for our neighborhoods!
That sidewalk was something! On a more fun note, if you look at that yellow bin just right it has a smiley face.lol
Huge job, HUGE!! Truly, I hope the property owner appreciates the level of workmanship required to initiate reclamation - monumental! From afar, I do - bravo!!
For those of us who can’t do this heavy work any more THANK You for helping!
Boy there not kidding when they say
Home value is big on curb" appeal just by you cleaning the side walk and curbside it brighten up the
Whole corner 🥰👍👍👍👌
Wow mighty fine work men"
Mighty fine!
God bless you both 🙏👍💐
That has to be a labor of love 💗 because that was a lot of work. Appreciate you guys for all you do. Thank You.
You did an amazing job on edging and removing grass that grows in between asphalt and cement. I hate it when it is left undone. Also uncovering sidewalk AMAZING 🤩!!!
Where are you located state or city? Also are you two blood brothers?
🙏🏼👏🏼🌟🌹😊
Thank you! We are located in Hot Springs Arkansas. We are not related just good friends.
Your sunglasses are cool, but what is that awesome, big yellow bucket and where did you get it? 😁 Fantastic work on that sidewalk too! It’s always the corner lots. 😞
Thank you! The bucket is called the Square Barrel and you can check it out here. www.thesquarebarrel.com
@@HFConstruction the Square Barrel should have locking wheels.
@@HFConstruction The square bucket stands out. You can put it onto its side, and shovel the lawn refuse into it, up to a point.
I've watched several different people on UA-cam that help others like you. It's a wonderful thing and my parents always taught me to appreciate everything that someone goes out of their way to help, but.....you are DEFINITELY the best in what you do!!! Thank you!
That sidewalk was very tedious and hard work but what an absolute amazing job! You guys are thoughtful and kindhearted! The transformation is something to really be proud of! God Bless you and your families!

Oh how I love the overgrown sidewalk episodes. So satisfying watching them get cleaned up.🙂
I would have given you a BIG tip!
That work was hard.
Thank you!
I cant even get my grass to grow in my yard and this house has full green grass growing on concrete LOL Hard work, awesome job .
Surely this should have been done by the local council, by leaving the grass to grow so much they will now have to re concrete the path. Great job guys.
You found it. Worst sidewalk I've ever seen!
And this will be a series, even better!
Nice job 🙂👍
WOW! My back hurts just watching this. Fantastic job!
Mine starts hurting again just thinking about this job…. LOL
I like your thinking “Work smarter not harder”!!! 💯 % agree!!
Using your bagger for the sidewalk!!! 💜
You deserve an award for that job....wow!!!!!
Mammoth job, nailed it mate. Love how the bucket sits on your mower.🐨 from Australia
I'd. love to see a Part II with a power washer for the stone wall and sidewalk. Huge effort, I know.
Beautiful stone wall at this cute house that couldn’t be appreciated because all I saw was the overgrown sidewalk. But, in addition to the esthetics is the importance of being able to safely navigate the sidewalk safely. You people are wonderful.
Your work is so amazing, thank you for everything you do to help other people!
Shovel scraping concrete. That's the sound of hard work.
The town I think needs to give you guys the Citizen of the Year Award.
I absolutely agree! You guys are amazing and are transforming a neighborhood
Feel sorry for you? NEVER! you are awesome, kindhearted. I'm impressed. Hard working guys, YES!!!
DAMN! What a difference! That was a mother load!
Can tell you Two been working as a team for a while. Pretty cool
We laughed all the time about how we can communicate on a job site without even talking.
Noticed that. Lol. You stepped back and he stepped down and did the edges.
REAL Friends are hard to find.
You guys are doing an incredible job. This block is a ferocious amount of work needing to be done. You are both going above and beyond by wanting to rejuvenate this block. You will be helping lift a lot of spirits. I have to say this......
I love your orange square topped yet round bottomed debris bins. What a great idea for easier filling. I also love watching your videos. They are so relaxing. Thank you for sharing.
That sidewalk has not seen the light of day in years.
It was crazy to see that there was a sidewalk there.
Love it when someone clean up the sidewalks now that I have to use them .
Wow that really was terribly overgrown. You made an incredible difference that is a positive boost for the entire neighbourhood! Just awesome!
I am and was shocked...when I realized there was/is a sidewalk. I wonder he was edging the grass. After studying and watching more, I couldn't believe it was because there is a sidewalk under all that dirt and grass. OMG....😱
AMAZING, how he brought back the sidewalk. Lots of work put into that and time and energy..👍
Thank you for doing that.
P. S. Have to add, if that wall was power washed--- it would fall apart. It sure needs it. 🤥
Holy cow what a difference that you the neighbors appreciate that thank you for doing such a good job God bless
Wow! Wonderful transformation!♥️
Y’all are kind and generous guys
I have never seen a sidewalk like that excellent job.
I agree with you.
That was a lot of work! Thank you for all your hard work.
That was a doozy of a sidewalk. My back started hurting half way through just watching you clean that thing up. Lol You are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to sidewalks. Fantastic job. God bless
I have reached Nirvana! Mute the lawn work and listen to my favorite stuff while watching you guys work little miracles!!tks!
Here in Phoenix you can be fined for impeding traffic on the side walk. You guys did a great job for this family. God bless.
Thank goodness you didn’t attempt this sidewalk in the middle of summer. The sidewalk looks beautiful now. Lets just hope the neighbor does his part. 👍👍
There is no way I could have finished that in the summer. We are actually going to be able to go back and help the neighbors as well.
Looking forward to part 2 or 3. Great job on that sidewalk. I'm sure the neighborhood is greatful.
We are planning on getting back over there next week to finish up and start on the neighbors.
The power of a whipper snipper and shovel, great job!
Wow that corner gave you a lot of work but it looks fantastic now
power washing the wall and sidewalks would make a great video, you have done a great job so far
I’m hoping we can get over there and wash it at some point.
I would be putting a call into the DPW for them to fix those broken sidewalks now that you have exposed them. My word they're such a mess. Great Job you guys.
Repeat comment given to Blake's video. Loved seeing you both cleaning up the full block. So often see clean up end at one property when the next needs help as well. 💯👍 And thanks to you both. My blessings go with you.
Wow that was a lot of hard work, with the grass covering the sidewalk. Both of you did an excellent job 👍👌⭐
Nice job, looks great, it was a tough one on the side walk. To bad you didn’t have a walk behind skid steer to help out. You definitely won’t need a gym membership after this!!!
Awesome work and so good of you to do this all for free. God will truly bless you for your kind deeds. Now they need someone like yourself in the concrete field to help them get a new sidewalk before the town sites them for that.
Omg, what a back-busting job that was . I think the city needs to step up and replace some of those cracked sidewalks, it could be a hazard, it's so uneven and full of cracks. Fantastic job, bringing that property back to life!!
Thanks for that clean up. I never would have believed there was concrete still there.
Nice job. Once the grass was cleared the damage to the concrete from the overgrowth was really evident. That was several years of growth to get in that condition.
Oh my word!! Back breaking !! It sure is going to be easier to shovel this winter! Thank you 🌹🌹
The city here sends out notices then fines for letting sidewalks get into disrepair. A real problem for big corner lots. Really great job!👍🏻
That looked like a really hard job. Wow! Good work!
I love sidewalk and curb reveals!
May you always prosper in everything you put your hand to!
Great job guys!
