  • I drove past this bloke's house and noticed it was a significantly overgrown. I knocked on his door, had a chat, and offered to tidy his yard at no cost to him. Thanks to everyone who continues to support this channel, which enables me to do this work!

    Sean, this was a lot of work. When I see videos like this, where the grass has grown over cement and driveway, it helps me understand how ancient cities get lost. If you don't maintain your environment, nature will take it back. GREAT JOB!! I can hardly wait to see the other half.

      I "hear" so much about SPIDERS😱 and other critters😬 that can be venomous😖 but have yet see as much as a BEE in your videos! Is it simply that they're found all or mostly in more rural/outback locations? And WHAT is the name of thst AWFUL, LONG grass? You have to mow it seven ways from Sunday to FINALLY get it short?! My grass here in Mississippi, US, takes one mow in one direction. I'd hate to imagine the cost of having to cut grass of that kind! Thank you for serving your country in your military capacity and also serving your fellow citizens with your selfless, HARD WORK.

    Sean it must be so fun and satisfying to work on uncovering driveways, garden paths & borders, sidewalks and streets! I had to laugh when you pulled out the long string of roots from the drain…in my head I heard Ollie from @Drain Addict saying "All good mate" and giving you a Tim Tam and Coke. I wish it was in my power to substitute all of the Kikuyu in your lawns with St. Augustine. But you always take it down and give it your signature edging perfection. Can’t wait for Part 2. Prayers that you and you family are okay ❣️🙏❣️

      In the US, newspapers and anything else not sent through the mail are not supposed to go into the letterbox, so many people have plastic boxes with the name of the newspaper imprinted on the side right next to their mailbox, but otherwise are on the driveway, the stoop or sometimes on the lawn. Sometimes the newspaper boxes are different colors to alert the delivery person. I’m not sure if they’re provided by the specific newspaper to their subscribers but it seems a better idea than having them scattered elsewhere.

    When driving by unsightly yards/property it’s easy to assume homeowner lazyness. It’s great to see someone dig deeper and validate that sometimes people are just in a bad place and or have had something happen to prevent them from proper yard maintenance. This must have been life changing for the homeowner. Awesome Job.

    It must be incredibly satisfying, not only for the home owner, but for you as well to see how amazing the yard looks again. And to feel good inside about helping others out. I love that feeling too❤️ great job!
