Is this the WORLD'S WORST maintained footpath? I clean it up for the public to use!

- This was a crazy overgrown footpath which I cleaned up with the Wright Stander B 32 and the new Greenworks 82v Commercial battery line trimmer.
I enjoy making these satisfying lawn videos and some people find the ASMR aspect of them relaxing.

Hi! My name is Tim The Lawnmower Man and I love to clean up overgrown yards and make fun videos doing it. I'm able to do them for free as these videos have ads on them and the revenue from that enables me to cover my cost.
I'm always looking for the worst yards around. Sometimes I drive around looking for them, sometimes viewers send me suggestions.

I wonder if the local news station might do a story on the mysterious masked certified lawn detailer who’s cleaning up grossly overgrown walkway’s because the landowners responsible for the maintenance isn’t fulfilling their obligations 🤔 🤷♂️😉
Howmany times can i like this?.?
It looks like a very beautiful community. The people in the the community need to complain about the condition of the sidewalk. It is not only an eyesore but is a environmental hazard such as fires, wild animals and the beautification of the neighborhood.
Some people tell me I'm so beautiful i could be considered a hazard
Good idea. Some one call the local news about this. You pay taxes that are supposed to help maintain these things and someone's doing it for free. Great.
Perhaps they could start a holiness? The Lawn Ranger strikes again! Last seen at the intersection of...
As a person with mobility issues, thank you for making that sidewalk accessible, that was a huge improvement!
Yes, he is a man of good house not like other person in the world
sidewalk? what's a sidewalk? you mean a footpath?
@@zakcollins987 footpath? what's a footpath? you mean a pavement?
@kozikmasta pavement? what's a pavement? you mean designed path for organics?
As a pedestrian, I agree. Car owners would not tolerate unusable streets.
Isn't it amazing how fast city code enforcement will give a fine to a property owner, but yet they let stuff like this go, what's good for the goose is good for the gander!
💯💯💯 agreed.
Exactly right!
We don’t have city code enforcement in Australia (to my knowledge).
I live in the states. The same exists here. Main example. Next door to me is city owned property. Has not been mowed since last September. But city interstate property across the street is cut every 3 weeks. Wait, there's more. My neighbor 5 houses down from me is the guys who controls the lawn maintenance department. He has to pass that corner lot every day to enter or leave the block. I am 6'4 wearing my work boots. The grass now on its 2nd growth this year is well over 8 feet tall. I use to cut it when I was in my 20s and 30s. Turning 60. Yeah, body too old for that stress.
@@angelabyrne154 From what I read some cities have a city council that if enough people complain then they might issue a fine but no guarantees.
It's a bloody shame that local councils have no pride in their maintenance. Should be a top priority!
they must have rainbow pride
They do if there is an event coming up , but unless visitors are passing by nothing will be done.
Oh they have plenty of pride when it comes to the snobby suburbs. Not a blade of grass out of place in them. Crews walking the streets with trimmers, blowers and street sweepers constantly. I don't get out west much and am new to this whole free lawn mowing thing so wasn't actually aware the councils out there are lazy as heck. Good on you Tim. You should send them and the local news photos of every free council-maintained land you remedy until they have enough to make a montage of shame.
@@jeffmcdonald101 Good point! Combine gerrymandering with partisan politics and you end out with poor suburbs being unable to afford upkeep!
Depends on the suburb. The more money in a suburb, the more likely the council will keep it looking tip top. This is dreadful but happens more often than not.
“Certified Lawn Detailer”? More like “Certified Path Slasher” or “ Certified Turf Magician”. Props for making it safe mate 👍
Great job, Tim! If only the owners of that land could be held accountable. I would think that every neighbor should contact the local authority every day until some thing was done about it. Think of all the critters that area attracts too!
& then you'll whinge about why your Council rates are so high. Not every grass mower has a UA-cam channel to pay their bills.
It's probably the responsibility of the developer. But once they've sold the blocks in the subdivision, they don't care, as they've already got their money and probably shut down the shell company they used.
@@zygmuntthecacaokakistocrat6589then sell the property if you can’t maintain it!😖
How about instead of always relying on the local authority to police things, that people just all gather and clean it up themselves? You know, Like Tim does.
@@lauramitchell6725 No one owns that property yet. It hasn't been developed. see @13:26 and @19:03
Why is everybody so afraid of doing a little work? You’re a good guy Tim and always do great work😊
Exactly who is "everybody"?????
We have the exact same problems in the US. My city decided to use taxes to build sidewalks everywhere, even though this is TEXAS and no one walks cause either it too hot or everything is too far. But now they are built and completely overgrown with weeds. Gotta love government spending.
Not everyone has a car, someone to drive them places, or a reliable bus system. I'm sure the people who do walk appreciate it, if only they were maintained. Plus walking should be encouraged, it's a healthy habit to have.
People shouldn't be walking in the street, so they build sidewalks. But if residents don't care, the city may not have enough money to do it. Gotta love whiners about Gov't spending.
@@debrarenfro1452 you must not be from Texas.
@@markh.6687 love dummies who don’t even understand comment. It’s not that they built them it’s that they are not kept up and no one can use them. Nice try on pretending to care. Typical comment troll.
Someone needs to blast the council and tell them to do thier job properly. As mentioned in the comments, they don't hesitate to fine us for petty violations. Another footpath can now be used by the public, great job Tim, watching from Victoria (Australia).❤
How about the neighbors banning together and cleaning it up themselves? Stop relying on the council/government/government entity to fix things. Yeah, maybe it is someone else's responsibility to maintain that area, but why not just do it yourselves and feel good about helping?
Same here in the states. I call the city to fix potholes, roads, clean the sidewalks, sweep the streets, pick up abandoned cars, etc. I have been successful in getting them to do it, but it's like pulling teeth. I'm very persistent & continue to work to make our neighborhoods better. Thanks for the great work you always do. This is such a nice neighborhood all the residents should call their council to get results. Better if they have a neighborhood association to help solve problems. Blessings/peace
I don’t know about the US, but in Australia they seem more interested in ridiculous climate change programs or building gender inclusive spaces.
I do this also...the key is being persistent and of course, knowing who to contact as there can be different divisions that enforce an area. I also meditate about this, making my wishes known to The Great Universe etc (God, whoever you believe in) and I have noticed other people cleaning up their yards. It's a vibration and it works.

Made for good content and a platform to get your message out there. Hopefully the right people will see and hear it! 👍👍👍
Retention ponds equals critter habitat. And those overgrown paths are just dangerous. Glad to know there are people like you who see a need and take care of it. Certified All Around Good Guy!!!
Very nice job! Hope you will get compensated for your work. Even hope you get awarded a contract to keep it maintained. Do hope the city realizes whoever was hired, isn't doing their job. 👍👍👍
I live in Houston, TX where heavy rains and flash floods are common. These retention ponds divert a lot of water that would otherwise flood the streets or even homes. We have wildlife reserves for “critter” habitat.
Well, that opened up a whole new world. The way it was left was dangerous. Thank you for looking out for others. Job well done.
❤ AMEN TIM!! ❤ Great job! ❤
That was wild. Too bad the city doesn’t take more pride in how their communities looks. Thank God for you. Happy Fathers Day Tim ❤️
While I am sure all Aussie Dads will appreciate the sentiment from others around the world,
Aussie Father's Day is 1st Sunday in September & Mother's Day 2nd Sunday in May.
Hi Tim
I live in a new estate and it is up to the developer of land. Unfortunately they did not care nor take any effort in maintaining the land. All the neighbours get together on one day as a community and maintain the area our self.
This is so kind of you, it really makes a difference to the people.
Shame on the council. They should all be investigated for corruption. You are doing a great service to your community. Expose the council's corruption! Good work man👍
Or incompetence.
For $250K a year, I will take on all the lawn detailing of these water retention locations for that council. 💰
Councils don’t usually bother doing anything for anyone unless it results in lining their own back pockets….(bung).
The Hero of the Hills District, The Warden of Western Sydney...The man who can give you a perfect haircut with a line trimmer. Tim's at it again!
Some people have no shame... or no idea, or no sense of the larger community they live in and making a contribution back by maintaining their common areas... it's worse with vacant blocks, owners are not there to care... (if they do at all anyway...) Until the property is built upon, and occupied, councils should be able to charge a quarterly levy that goes directly to this kind of thing (and if it is council land, it should be managed properly... keeping footpaths from being a hazard (tripping, fire, vermin etc), forcing kids to ride bikes on the road, or dog walkers onto the road, or collecting the rubbish that blows around in the long grass or that is dumped there by others, being sources of weeds that can spread and blocking drains and gutters because of the lack of maintenance and making sure that services and utility pits can be easily found and accessed... Good work Tim!
My goodness, Tim! That looks so much better and safer! If whoever isn’t maintaining the walks and nature strip, then who will maintain the trees that haven’t yet perished?
Wow the amount of work you had to do to bring this side wall back to life was incredible. Great job. Thanks for thinking about the community. 😎
I'm a old lady sick in bed i just enjoy seeing you doing this beautiful work. My husband used to do it but he's sick and old like me and feels tired. We both enjoy seeing you and take care of yourself 🙏💜.
So much better, Tim. On behalf of the people trying to walk through that mess...thank you so very much. And, yes, as a woman trying to navigate this world in a powerchair, this is a much appreciated game-changer.
❤ You'll have to let us know if the shaming tactic works. 😂 Beautiful work!
Hi Tim❣ Looks like they maintain that area like our area gets maintained. Let's not weed eat or mow, instead we'll just edge and call it done. Sad they leave it for others to do. Over had to invest in my own cheaper items to maintain my own area. Now all I need is a bush trimmer. Our bushes are supposed to be 4ft tall, they're almost to the top of my 8 foot iron post and my hummingbirds, Orioles and catbird are constantly shaking their heads hunting for their food lol Serious! They should take jail inmates and take 4 of them to areas to keep up places like what you're doing. I know when I lived in Mississippi, inmates put a lot of landscaping businesses to shame. Free labor, and they always want to get out, so use them I say. Have a great week as you're already there or near there❤❤
You go, Tim. Thank you for your time and effort on this footpath.❤🎉😊
Hello Tim from a rainy UK
Wow! Amazing transformation!
that was one horrendous overgrown sidewalk. You did amazing work
That was some workout for the strimmer (and you!). Shows how far battery powered tools have come on in the past few years. You would have thought that the fire hydrant at least would have been kept clear by the council or fire department.
Our local fire brigades used to drive around once a year to clear and repaint the signage. One neighbour painted his green because the bright white square ruined the look of his grass.. some people.
Tim, You should send an invoice to the council for your time and the excellent clean up up this walkway!! See what happens! After all, they'd go after any homeowner that would leave their walkways in such a mess! Thank you Tim. Excellent results.
You always do a brilliant job, wish there were more people like you
Great job Tim, hopefully someone from the developer/ local council see this and give you some funds to go to your favourite charity. Or a maintenance contract 🙏🏻👍😁
No they ll give you a fine.
That’s soo unfair when Tim is helping the community!
You're doing a great job.
Love your hard work and dedication, keep it up Tim!
Send this video to your local council....should be ashamed of themselves! Great job as alwas Tim😊
Great job !
Looks really, really good. 100% better. Good job.....👍
Good JOB Tim Bless you
I used to live around the corner from this water retention pond. Forced onto the streets when going for a walk. Snakes, mice came out of the grass. People just dump excess concrete, building rubble old lounges etc. Spoke to Blacktown Council they replied via letter stating they don’t have the budget to maintain these areas or the footpath surrounding them. They also said its up to the adjoining property owners to maintain these areas. Great job Tim for assisting the community. This is 1 of about 18/20 around that area.
If someone were injured due to council's neglect they would be liable , then they would HAVE to find awarded damages in their budget . If this were outside a house I'd say homeowner should do the maintenance as is the norm , however this looks 100% council responsibility to me .
You'd think the development would realize how bad it makes their development look. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for all you do for your community!!!!
Job well done 👏
Hey TIM, I SEE that the ONE MAN WRECKING CREW ( You ) has been uncaged again for this HUGE PROJECT, looks AWESOME. If that cities working crew would even do HALF the job you do, it would be a MAJOR improvement, but I'm SURE it's like mine and several other cities, they would rather Ride around in the company vehicle and collect there checks and only do the BARE MINIMUM to get by, and actually, you make them look EXTREMELY BAD, especially because there is only one of you and you do the work of probably 4or 5 of them, it's just sad they don't take care of business and let it go like that, Great Job, CYA NEXT TIME 🚜😎
I remember hearing or reading somewhere that you can bill the council for that sort of thing.. maybe you should make a video going back, completing it and giving the council a ring and collecting some money, might give others some incentive to not wait for council as they're useless. Nobody likes working for nothing, but it this is an option, might help with places like this 👌
All the dust your kicking up is making me sneeze 😂 GREAT WORK AND YOU ARE APPRECIATED.
A job well done Tim 😊
Looks nice 👍🏻👏🏻
The city ought to be Ashamed of itself. Ty for your service.
Great job Tim ❤❤
Thank you Tim, it looks great, hard work.
Thank you 🙏🏼🌹🌟😊
Fantastic job!!!
You do find important things to work on. That looked like a narrow footpath through dirt. The end result was quite different. Thanks for making the sidewalk viable to walk. This is so bad, a hazard for collecting rodents and garbage, and time consuming to clean in this poor condition, that it would perhaps work to break the work down in to smaller sections for available time. The outer grass could be mowed next and finally the inside slope next to the fence Trimmed. I recognize that the owner is "making no money" on land not yet being built on, but the least contribution, as far as responsibility to the community, might be for gas, trimmer line, green hauling and a meal. Perhaps, being in construction, they would know solutions and have something like an available dumpster/bin. Nice work Tim.
Thanks mate 🙌
Can you report this type thing as a city violation to the city counsel? Maybe that might shame them also. Great job, and I LOVE your videos.
We are having the same problem here in the US. What is going on!!??. Where is all the money going?
Beautiful job Tim! Thank you for all your hard work!
Awesome job Tim 👏👏👏
It looks like the council should be reimbursing you for services. The least they can do is replace your line and gas used. Can't believe how much better that area looks. Thanks for being you Tim.
Thank goodness for someone like you Tim❤ fantastic job clearing all those paths, could you imagine a person with a pushchair trying to get through that lot, or a elderly person it doesn't bare thinking about, or they decide to use that busy road instead 😮
Council 😡
Awesome work Tim! 💥
You definitely went the distance on this job 😉
Geez that was a long sidewalk! Amazing job though!❤
Love it!
Good on ya Tim.
Love your heart ,Tim ❤ God bless you !--i already know it's going to look amazing ! Still watching.
Incredible👏👏👏👏☘️☘️
Great job again Tm. For the people responsible for the maintenance of the path SHAME SHAME SHAME..
Good job Tim , much nicer and more usable , I hope the residents appreciate your work . If I lived in that area I think I'd try reporting those overgrown footpaths as a safety hazard rather than an eyesore , and ask council for a report reference number . They don't like the idea of getting sued , once a report is issued they are more likely to act .
Bloody amazing mate. From England. 👌👍👏🥳🤩
Happy Father’s Day
God bless you Tim , you are a great guy .Thank you so much.
You are a blessing for your community Sir.❤️
That looks like it could be in South Africa. Thats great job you've done 😮
What the overgrown mess?
Love it.
It’s great that the world has seen this video. I doubt it will shame the person or entity whose job it is to maintain, but it will certainly make potential buyers disgusted.
Oh my goodness Tim! I cannot believe the owner of the property or the area council haven’t done anything……what a health issue AND also an OHS DISASTER! AS YOU MENTIONED…….SHAME ON THEM!!! You are wonderful, with a caring heart to have done the foot path allowing access to those with mobility aids. Abundant Blessings Tim. ❤️
What a shame that the government won't do their job! I'm glad you did it!!
Wow! You couldn’t even tell there was a sidewalk under there initially. You did an amazing job! ❤
You’re a good man.
Would it be possible to get a followup report, and let us know whether the council took it's responsibilities more seriously after you showed them what these places could look like. But the residents would ultimately have to tell them: clean it up, or we'll clear you out!
This occurs here in Texas as well. They place these beautiful walk paths and then no one steps up to do their part. You’re the Man. Thank you for all you do!,
That has got to be the worst I've seen yet. Shame on the council for letting it get that bad. The neighborhood really needs to stay on top of this and complain. Excellent job Tim as always.
Funny that you should raise this Tim. My local council here in London has given up mowing the nature strip outside our homes for cost cutting reasons. I have taken to doing the bit in front of my house and the four adjoining houses on myself, as has another neighbour for the next three houses along. Outside the other houses no one cuts the grass and it now looks like a wheat field! Very ugly and a fire risk in drought conditions. Can also encourage vermin and eventually overgrow the pavement. Good job mate. I guess Im doing the same thing on the other side of the planet!
I agree. I have a retention basin at the back of my property. I have been maintaining it for 10 years never seen a council worker any where near it. Keeps me fit I suppose.
Good work, Bro
The mother of an amputee, from the States. Thank you for giving all, ALL people a safe place to stroll. Seniors, children, physically assisted everyone. If the fence would come down and benches up, that would become a nice little park
Well done Sir, fantastic transformation. Nice to see that the man who alerted you to this came up and said thankyou. Sometimes just that make the effort worthwhile. There's a new park where my mum lives in Banbury, UK. When the housing developer had finished a new housing estate, they started building the park but they wouldn't officially allow access to anyone as they kept that Harris fencing all around the site until it was officially signed off, despite the grass was immaculate. (especially one piece whichwould have been football stadium standard) Everyone was using it getting through the gaps. Now its been finished, although most of the grass isn't up to knee height yet, just the large increase in weeds gives it an unkempt feel. The really smart part of the grass now has "baby heads" clumps on it so its now not the easiest for kids to play footy on. The council may take it on but they're no doubt too busy looking after the boroughs dignitaries gardens!!!
Wow!
That looks like that has been there a long time.
Beautiful job! The shame of it is the city will think the ones responsible to tend to it did it and they will think the city did it and the true wonderful great Samaritan, you, wont get the incredibly deserved credit!!! God bless you! Your family should be VERY proud of you!!!
If only for the somewhat newly poured sidewalk that isn't all cracked up with overgrowth. Good job Tim. 👍
By the looks of his footwork.. I'd love to go dancing with this guy .. if I were 45 yrs. younger lol🤣
Its really nice when you are done, a little bit of green space!
Great job, Tim. The sidewalks are lucky to have you.
What a fantastic service you are providing Tim. I’m sure there are people that are able to use that very footpath that probably didn’t or weren’t able to.
You look like you're doing the cha-cha when walking backwards while trimming the edges. I just cannot unsee it 😅 great work again Mr T!
I gotta admit. On this father's day, sitting back enjoying a pop. Watching your hard work (and that was amazing hard work) it was relaxing. Broham, you're a man of character. I respect that! 👍👍👍
Thanks!
@@timthelawnmowerman No, broham. Thank you for what you do. You got this USMC respect! Cheers!!!👍👍👍
Well done ❤
Whilst I admire your positivity in thinking the people responsible might feel shame, if they had any conscience at all, it would never have gotten into this state in the first place.
Thank goodness for community spirited people like you.
Tim, you are a ⭐ If there isn't already a World Detailing Olympics, you need to start one
Wow! The city should be giving you a contract to clean all the sidewalks! Amazing job❤
Thanks for stepping up for the local community. You are completely correct
They knew You’d come along and do their job eventually 😉😂 Thanks for caring. !!! Looks great 👏👍
