UNSAFE BUS STOP is Nearly IMPOSSIBLE to Use

- I am so excited to be able to share this overgrown transformation with you. I actually drove by this bus stop and had to make a U-turn because I just couldn't believe how overgrown this was. There is no yard, but there were trees and weeds growing in the cracks that reached over 8 feet tall and with trunks as thick as my fist! This is in the middle of town next to a major road, so you know traffic is going by quick! With your support we will be able to make this bus stop safe for the community to use again!
Wow, sure was close to that speeding traffic. City needs to move that fencing back a few feet for safety for all. Great public service to the community. Respect for you kindness and job we done. Thank you.
Thank you 🙏 I do agree there are some changes that need to be made just for safety reasons!
amen
or lower the speed limit in that area.
Right. Property lines r a certain number of feet from the roads center line. The city should be made to ck this. Property nvr starts where the sidewalk ends.
It would be scary to be standing waiting for a bus there! They need a safety barrier or maybe move the spot? Paint marking on the curb and a large slow down pedestrian sign on that pole! Thank you for doing this!
I needed blood pressure medicine after watching this one. Hahaha you have done a great job and service. Thanks for thinking of others.
Thank you 🙏 for your support
This one actually made me a little nervous as well since we were literally right next to the busy street
Look like the city would be responsible for weed cutting and keeping that from becoming a hazard to people but we all know how that story goes thanks for the service you did for the community looks great and the bus will be able to see people also the cars will also be able to see ❤❤
Thank you 🙏 for your support! I really do love the city that I live in, but this is one that definitely slipped through the cracks 😂 (sorry for the pun I am a dad)
I was thinking the same thing.
The city's really been slacking off. Of course they'd blame the property owners for not maintaining city property. Thanks for the video and your hard work.
You could say this one fell through the cracks 😂 sorry for the bad dad joke it happens lol. Thank you 🙏 for your continued support I really do appreciate it!
@@DereksLawnRescuesomeone should show this to elected officials.
Derek, thank you so much. You are a great asset to your community. I don't understand why the prisons that are setting full of able-bodied people don't have inmates help the community on projects like this while they are incarcerated. They might be able to learn some skills, be productive, and give back to the community.
I am not sure either! I know this one could be too close to a school for that, but there are several places that it would be beneficial. I do know that inmates are able to cleanup trash on the highways so it would make sense to help here as well. Thank you 🙏 for your support I really appreciate it
@@DereksLawnRescueI've only watched a few seconds but I want to say thanks for doing this public space. 🌐💭 This is the first video of yours I'm watching so I hope you do public spaces regularly, if not I hope you will consider it. They are very rare to see cleaned by UA-cam landscapers.
@@Mr.Howell thank you 🙏 I hope you enjoy it and yes I have started to do this regularly
@@DereksLawnRescuethank you very much and I want to commend you for wearing bright yellow vest and the neck and ear protection "vest" to protect from skin cancer. Also wearing shorts is good to keep cool. I don't know how outdoor workers can wear long pants pants 👖 what is 80° +! 😰 I'm wondering if you take Frozen bottles of water to drink? I'm also wondering if you are in California? (I used to live in Sacramento and San Diego) I subscribed ✅
@@DereksLawnRescue As for me, I pick up trash. It's a good feeling to do something for my community without receiving pay. I hate litter.
Thank you for clearing that sidewalk. I’m sure the people who use it will appreciate all your hard work. ❤
Thank you 🙏 for your support! It really does mean the world 🌎 to me and my family.
some citys require the fence to be 15ft from the curb
@@ronkistner2672 I wish they did that here!
@veganhomeschoolmom. People would be out of their minds to use that sidewalk or even try to before that sweet man cleaned it up. Those cars are flying by.
@@ronkistner2672 that is probably true in this area also. it is clear the city is falling down miserably in doing their job. I’ll bet they’re quick to collect taxes though.
Society needs more caring people like you, sir! Great Job!!!🎉
Thank you 🙏 for those kind words!
It's a shame you're cleaning a city sidewalk on a busy street. Thank you for caring more about your town than the city politicians.
Improved the safety immensely for those using the sidewalk.
Thank you 🙏
That wonderful you clean up the area so the bus can see the customer. Great Job 👍
Thank you 🙏 for the kind words and your support! I really appreciate it
you have helped keep the community safe great work and difficult with such a busy road
Thank you 🙏 for the kind words! I still get a little nervous next to a road like this which is why I kept looking at traffic just because I was right there
Thank you citizen. Our cities need.more like you
Thank you 🙏 for those kind words!
😮I can't believe how close you are to those speeding cars!!! Thank you for cleaning that mess up, but be careful!!!! God Bless!!!
I definitely got a little nervous when those 2 box trucks went by! Thank you 🙏 for your support
@@DereksLawnRescue Even tho U did a great job cleaning up that section of sidewalk....I might B still nervous & hesitent about walking there ...some of those drivers came pretty close!!!!......keep up the good work & be careful!!!!
@@user-dx9dw9yv4m I will thank you 🙏
Wonderful job especially considering the dust and the traffic!!!👏👏👏👏
Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate that
Thank you, my young brother, for taking on that dangerous job!! Well done! 🤗👍🏾
Thank you 🙏 for your support!
You saved your town/city a boat load of money. They've avoided a MAJOR lawsuit!!!
Unfortunately there is a city code that requires the homeowner to maintain 6 feet past the property line. Thank you 🙏 for watching
The streets are clean thanks to people like you. Excellent!
Thank you 🙏 for the kind words!
Thank you Derek...Appreciate whoever helped influence your good heart, and appreciate that you took ahold of the care you were given!😀👍
Thank you 🙏 for those kind words!
You are an awesome person to help change what you can. So many people will benefit. TU

That bus driver will be happy
I hope everyone that uses this is happy! Thanks 🙏 again for watching I really appreciate your support!
Nice work once again, people can finally use the bus stop again!
Thank you 🙏 my friend! I really appreciate your continued support
Thanking for being careful and making safer for everyone else!!
Thank you 🙏 I appreciate your support!
Not the most epic transformation by youtube standards, but in dangerous conditions and very much needed, making a massive difference to the people who use that route. Well done you!
Thank you 🙏 I definitely want to make a difference in my community and I feel like this is a way to impact several peoples lives for the better!
@@DereksLawnRescue Re-reading, that was kinda badly worded on my account - it was an epic transformation of a much smaller area than we usually see, but no less impressive. You are doing great work.
@@Irene-gq4jr thank you 🙏
I don’t mean any harm but those weed bushes looks like Christmas trees, that’s shameful of the city for not doing their job. Derek, thank you for doing an awesome weed out job.
Thank you for your support! I know those weeds grow quick considering they are probably only 3-4 months old, but I completely agree the bus stop should have been cleaned up
I was thinking the same thing. A whole tree on the sidewalk. 😂
Good job!!
@@rosaleeabbey8114 thank you 🙏
I was shocked there was an actual sidewalk you uncovered! Looks so much better and safer. 😊
Thank you 🙏 for your support! I couldn’t believe that the weeds and trees 🌲 grew so large in the cracks of the concrete
Wow, you're practicing risking your life to provide a great service. Keep wearing the safety vest!! Stay safe! I'll be watching....👁️🗨️👁️🗨️
Thank you 🙏 I definitely will keep wearing the vest and will stay safe!
Thank you!😊 I’m so surprised that the city didn’t step up and do this. Thank goodness you did!
Thank you 🙏 for your support. This one definitely was one of my favorite transformations just because I know it is going to help so many people!
What a great gift to those who walk and ride the bus. Amazing job!
Thank you 🙏 for those kind words!
So the song Oh Christmas tree came to mind first lol, then the traffic was nerve racking. Be safe and have an awesome weekend!
😂 right those trees were huge and I really don’t know how they grew that big in the crack of the concrete. I feel safer with the safety vest 🦺 but I still wanted to keep my eye on the traffic because I was right there. Thank you 🙏 for your continued support it really means the world to me and my family
God bless you for making this bus stop and sidewalk safe for the community 🙏🥰🙏 watching you from Victorville California
Thank you 🙏 for your support and the kind words! I really appreciate it
what a difference you made for the safety of those using that walk way.
Well done.
You did good buddy!🇺🇸👍
Thank you 🙏 for those kind words and your support
A much needed transformation in a perilous area.
Thank you 🙏 I hope you enjoyed it
Great job!!
Please be safe while being a blessing to others and the community ❤🙏🏽😊
Thank you 🙏 I will do my best to stay safe! This one definitely had me more nervous because of how close to the road everything was.
What a difference you make on a area that needed it badly, Thank You
Thank you 🙏 for your support
That's supposed to be the city responsibility to keep those weeds down but I'm so glad that you did it so people won't get killed. I truly thank you for your hard work and thinking of others.
Thank you 🙏 for your support! Sadly there is a city code that makes the homeowner responsible for maintaining 6 feet past the property line, and I believe this causes safety issues and I look for situations that need our help!
That was amazing 😍
Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate the support!
Nice job as always💚
Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate the kind words and your continued support!
Derek, at first I thought you were selling christmas trees. Great job on the clean up and making it safe for people to wake on 😊
Thank you 🙏 it is crazy that the weeds got so big growing in the cracks of the concrete
Derek, looks Great, ❤ CYA SOON NEXT TIME BE SAFE BUDDY 👍✌️🚜🌞😎
Thank you 🙏 for your support! It means the world 🌎 to me and my family
Great job!!! I wish the city cares as much about its people as you do.
Thank you 🙏 for those kind words!
Wow, your weeds get big. I thought they were small bushes! In Canada they don’t get a chance to grow that big because in winter the snow makes them go dormant. Nice job, once again. 😎
The scary part is the tree will go dormant, but those weeds are probably only 3-4 months old. There are 3-4 different species that will get easily 8 feet tall if they don’t get cut down. Thank you 🙏 so much for your continued support my friend!
@@DereksLawnRescue
WOW!
You're a good and brave soul and are doing something so worthwhile! Thank you!🥰
Thank you 🙏 for those kind words! I really appreciate it
Hey Derek, I felt very nervous for you, when you were so close to the road...the traffic was heavy and very fast. Thanks for your hard work!
Thank you 🙏 I was honestly nervous when the 2 box trucks drove by. I am going to look into other things I can do to stay safe while helping out the community!
Man I don’t know how you can clean up a sidewalk with cars going by so fast. I’m unnerved just watching them fly last. Stay safe!
I did get a little nervous when those 2 box trucks zoomed by! Thank you 🙏 for your support
Excellent job 👏
Thank you 🙏
I like your attitude. You see something that needs to be done and you jump right into it. We need more people willing to do that. Community.
If every single day people would keep in mind to leave a place better than what they found it then our country wouldn't look like a trash bin.
Thank you 🙏 I agree completely that we should all want to make this place better than how we found it! I appreciate your support
Looks like you were cutting Christmas 🎄 trees..😊great job 👏
Thank you 🙏 it’s crazy how big they were able to grow in the cracks of the concrete
I’m so happy to see you wearing Dayglow clothes on such a busy street. You really can’t be too careful.
I was still nervous when those 2 box trucks zoomed by! Thank you 🙏 for your support
Im so glad u have a yellow vest on. Love the channel u do awesome work
Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate the kind words and the support
You are very good at finding places that need work. That location very much so has poor visibility and little space to walk. 6:53 shows a great deal of improvement already, a long view of the street now exists. Like that you are figuring out how to work in your city area. That is definitely close traffic, with only a little gutter as buffer for multi-lanes.
Thank you 🙏 for your support. I am glad that we are able to help improve the city where I was born and raised! Normally I am completely comfortable being next to a busy road, but you are right the small gutter being the only buffer definitely had me a little nervous on this one.
You have nerves of steel !! Job well done!
Thank you 🙏
How is that a bus stop? My goodness! I bet folks try to avoid that spot at all costs. There are no benches, shelters or anything to protect the patrons waiting for the bus. Not to mention, it is overrun with shrubs and weeds. Thank you for taking the time to help the many you'll probably never meet and helping those that travel way out of their way to catch the bus and avoid that place. ❤
Thank you 🙏 for your support! I am convinced that there was poor planning on the city because it’s a 7 lane road that literally just has a sign and the fence is someone’s property!
Thank you for your kindness
Thank you 🙏 for your support!
You took the weeds down so now people can walk down the street 🤗☺😊😁👍👍👍👍👍💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you 🙏 for your support! With the spray they should not come back as well
I’m sorry Derek you are blessed to even work there next to that fence. The only thing holding it up is the weeds. God Bless.
Thank you 🙏
You have abundantly blessed the people of your city!
Thank you 🙏
Derek you are the man
Thank you for the kind words and support!
Very dangerous road!! Great job😮😅😊
Thank you 🙏
watching your vids I've noticed something - all the power poles seem to be blocking the sidewalks from people who use wheelchairs, walkers or scooter chairs, and there doesn't seem to be any leeway to put additional sidewalk in. How does the utility company and city get away with that?
Honestly now that I have been cleaning up sidewalks more I have noticed that as well. I am going to find out who I need to talk to because you are 💯 right! If you are in a wheelchair this bus stop is still unusable just because of the power lines.
Professional Job. Everything short of pressure washing. Looks neat and clean.
Thank you 🙏
I've had Christmas trees that weren't that big. Yeesh. Pretty certain that's a municipal responsibility and someone really fell down on their job.
Strong work, good sir 💪
Right these 🌲 were huge! Unfortunately there is a city code that makes it the responsibility of the homeowner to maintain 6 feet past the property line. They do issue fines but obviously this hasn’t been maintained all year. Thanks 🙏 for watching
I'm surprised that the city allowed that fence against the sidewalk. Even more surprised that the sidewalk is so close to that traffic. That is super dangerous!😮
I agree because on the other side of that fence is someone’s property so I am not sure how they could move it back. Thanks 🙏 for watching
@DereksLawnRescue I'm not sure, ɓut there may be a code violation. I've never seen a wooden fence against a city sidewalk. Even chain link fencing is set back from sidewalks.
Thanks for making the bus stop safe and visible...
Thank you 🙏 for your support! It really does mean the world 🌎 to me
God bless you! What a difference! You did a great job!
Thank you 🙏 for those kind words
Superb Job---one for the BOOKS!
Thank you 🙏
Even with the cleared Sidewalk it looks very dangerous to walk aside of this speeding traffic. Anyway, thanks for your service to your community. Stay safe!
Thank you 🙏 I am convinced that we need a safety rail or something just to make this safer
Awesome job Derek!! WOW that traffic was close!!!
Thank you 🙏 yes it was close! Even with the safety vest 🦺 on I was still nervous
Thanks for sharing Derek ✌🏼 you've done a great job 👏🏽 I really enjoyed watching your video ☀️💛
Thank you 🙏 for your support! I really appreciate it
You did a great job for something the city should be maintaining. You could consider sending them the video and a bill for your work.
Thank you 🙏 for those kind words
KUDOS' HELLA' JOB YOUNG MAN! THE RIDER S & THE ENTIRE PUBLIC THX YOU!!!! ,❤
Thank you 🙏 for those kind words!
Wow. Huge difference. Great job!
Thank you 🙏
Tumble weeds thanks for all your help cleaning this up 😮
We did have some tumble weeds, ragweed, and actual trees 🌲 I still can’t believe how big they got growing in the cracks of the concrete
It's strange how weeds can grow anywhere without water maybe they'll use the bus stop now 🤔 thanks for caring
@@KaralynSnedeker-lq2wi thank you!
It's the city's responsibility. Call them !
Actually I have started cleaning up a lot of sidewalks lately because the city says the homeowner is responsible for maintenance 6 feet past the property line. Thank you 🙏 for watching
@@DereksLawnRescue Derek that's mighty nice of you. Just be careful !
Yes I commend you for your time and effort. Keep up the good work. Here in the UK is just as bad! It's now getting soo bad we can't see road signs anymore, thank goodness for satnav!
Thank you 🙏 for your support! I really appreciate it!
Was so afraid of incoming traffic as it was too close to you. You made that area safer for individuals using that area to catch the bus. Please stay safe.
First time here.
Blessings from El Paso, Texas

It was nerve racking to watch you !!!! Even though I knew it was a film and you were OK. I still kept feeling like oh my God he could get hurt be careful, my friend.!
I definitely was nervous when the 2 box trucks went by. Thank you 🙏 for your support I really appreciate it
Wow great job
Thank you 🙏
Great job, Derek.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you enjoyed from Texas! You were very brave!
Thank you 🙏 I definitely was nervous on this one! I am really glad you enjoyed it.
Good Job. Get and use one of those fold up stands for your garbage bags. Always FACE oncoming traffic when working beside roads.
I need that stand because sometimes I think the garbage can doesn’t work as good. Thanks 🙏 for watching
Good job young man! Thank you.
Thank you 🙏 for watching!
You need one of those mini chain saws. Inexpensive and really handy. Also, a couple of those orange cones might be useful.
Stay tuned for the video on Friday! We have added a new tool, and it is amazing! Thank you for watching!
Mistur Derek I am Jaxon and my dad is seans lawns and he says you are so good for me to watch and we love watching you so yes byeeeee
Thank you 🙏 for the kind words and yalls support
Many of the weeds looked like a Christmas tree when you cut them down. 😂😂
lol yes those are called giant ragweed and they get huge here! I couldn’t believe how big they were in the cracks of the concrete
That is a crazy dangerous place to have to clean off a sidewalk. I couldn’t decide if I liked not being able to see the cars coming 🫣🫣🫣 or if I would have rather seen them coming. 😳😳😳I kept holding my breath. 🫢🫢🫢 Great job.
I got nervous when those 2 box trucks zoomed by without moving over a lane. Thanks 🙏 for your support
Buen trabajo ❤, y seguro para la población, gracias a Dios pusiste cuidado al limpiarlo el movimiento de vehículo es muy fluido
Thank you 🙏 for your support! I was nervous being that close to the traffic, but I felt like the safety vest 🦺 helped a lot
Very nice job young man.
Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate your support
Excellent job
Thank you 🙏
Nice day to clean things up.
It definitely needed it! Thanks 🙏 for watching
I liked at the end of your video the bus stopped at the bus stop😊✌👍👍
I did as well! Thank you 🙏 for watching the video! Hope you enjoyed it
Thank you 🌹
Thank you 🙏 for your support! It really means the world 🌎 to me and my family
Why isn't the city taking care of this? It's great that you've taken on this job.
Unfortunately, the mayor and whomever else agreed to this made a big mistake when they implemented a city code that makes homeowners responsible for maintaining 6 feet past their property line. What I have noticed is the homeowner will get fined, and it will never be cleaned up. I am just glad that we are able to help make this place better than how we found it!
Brilliant job
Thank you 🙏
Good luck
Thank you
Great work.
Thank you 🙏
Great job.
Thank you 🙏
Wow. Good of you to show what responsible individuals can accomplish when they put their mind to act as compared to city officials who drop the ball. A shame they are unwilling to ensure the safety of people that navigate that stretch of the sidewalk, much less for appearance sake. You did a good thing and should be acknowledged for your efforts by the city counsel. They should be ashamed of themselves, but I highly doubt their pride will allow their conscience to surface.
Thank you 🙏 for the kind words and for watching. I can’t speak for the city officials but this area is good now and that spray should kill off the stumps.
You could use some battery operated pruners. Thank you for your kindness
Thank you 🙏 for watching! As soon as I have the budget for it I am planning on going to buy some!
I read recently that baking soda water, and vinegar water are both natural weed killers. Maybe experiment with them to see what works. Perhaps with a big woody stalk stump, you could drill out the center and fill it with one of them?
I will give it a try! I used a ground sterilizer to kill this one but if I can avoid harsh chemicals I would prefer that
Awesome job, thank you.
Thank you 🙏
Greetings from Cape Town, great cleanup job, good video.
Thank you 🙏 for those kind words!
Great job, be careful.
Thank you 🙏 I definitely will!
