Awesome. If I were that neighbor, I'd watch too. Heck, I watch mowing videos makeovers all the time - I love the transformation. You do great work and I KNOW it made his day. Thank you for giving this neighbor some piece of mind and probably will help cut down on pesky mice and snakes too.
Josh do not let the others get to you! You did the job and it looked fabulous when done! Each one of you guys have your own ways of doing things. It’s the end result that counts! Thanks for what you do! 💕 🇺🇸
First time I've seen your video, I am impressed! I haven't seen anyone else clean up all that mown grass or take their time with the flower beds as you did. What a great video, I'm really enjoyed watching!
As a senior citizen, and widow I struggle getting the lawn done. I’m embarrassed as I used to have one of the most attractive yards in the neighborhood. Having just over a half acre it’s more than I can handle in a day. Plus I’m desperate for a better riding lawn mower. Bless you for what you do!
I’m at that age where I don’t want to do it anymore and I do it full time for my regular job so now I hire to have my yard cut hahaha to dam old to do it on my own time! 😂
Absolutely beautiful job! I am so impressed! A complete transformation, and it now fits in so nicely with the rest of the neighborhood! Fabulous cleanup! I loved how you got up all of those clippings! Thank you for a wonderful video
What a monumental effort you put into this lawn and garden cleanup! You are one of the few that actually rakes up the grass clippings, instead of leaving them to suffocate the remaining lawn. You left that home looking well cared for instead of the sad state it was in when you arrived.Bravo! I subscribed to your channel. ❤️🇨🇦
I have a suggestion that might be a benefit. When I used to cut such high grass, I would take half a swath, always throwing the cut grass to already mowed area. I hear your mower laboring under the load it's cutting. Three things I observed when using this technique. One, a half swath reduces to some extent the load on your engine. Two, on a sunny day, cut grass begins to lose its moisture as you are cutting the tall stuff. Third by shooting the cut material where you have already mowed, your mower isn't fighting the resistance of downed material while tackling the tall stuff. Hope it works for you. This equipment isn't cheap, nor are repair and down time. Your results look great!
I used to have a very able bodied friend who used to let her lawn get like that. She was divorced, and it was a constant argument - between her and her two also able bodied teens - over who would mow the grass ?! While they had the weekly argument, the grass would get longer and longer, and become UNmanageable, just like this lawn got. I helped her about 3 or 4 times - with the cutting, raking etc. It looked great when finished, the way this lawn does. After the fourth time of doing all that work, and knocking myself out, I decided I was being taken advantage of, and nothing else, since they NEVER kept it up.... I never offered my help again - it was NOT my responsibility ! After all, I had my OWN large lot to look after, at home - and I always have done so !
Those guys are the best, I gave one guy a chair, umbrella, and some of my drinks. He said he felt like he was in the vip section of a ballgame. 😂 Good job Josh, you da man
Your are so kind to do this! I understand the neighbor watching you mow it all. That grass was so tall and unsightly for the entire neighborhood; especially for the man living next door. You’re an angel!! 😇😇😇😇👍👍
You did a fabulous job. Thank you for picking up the grass clippings. It always makes a job look finished. That was definitely very high and thick grass. That was sure a lot of drainage out on the street in front of that house. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos thank you.
Did all the neighbors donate their wheelie bins so you could dump all the grass clippings? We used to do that in our neighborhood, if someone was cleaning up their yard and our bins were half full, we'd let them put their yard waste into our bin so the cleanup would be easier than making a trip to the dump.
It should be against the law for any bank that foreclosed on a property to let it get into that condition. This video should be sent to the City Attorney for the city this property is located in, hopefully accompanied by a petition signed by neighbors of this property asking that the bank or financial institution that holds this property be held liable for maintaining it. This is disgusting.
Wow! What a transformation? You turned a wasted Green-acre farm into a liveable homestead again. What a pity no-one lives in it to have the appreciation of your hard labour. Never mind, you did magnificent. Well done.
Beautiful job !! Interested in the back story on why the yard was allowed to grow out of control. Did any of the now happy neighbors offer to help before you stepped in ? Looks like all the other yards are manicured. I'd like to think if this was my neighbor and they needed help I could easily run my mower over their lawn as I am maintaining my own lawn. Weird concept in 2023 being neighborly. Helpful. Selfless.
That grass is tall and thick. Wow. Any time you start something like that, raise your blades to the highest setting. Mow it once then go back over with the setting at 3 or 4. That will keep your mower from struggling to cut. I heard it a lot. Great job on the law
In the spring I get busy and part of my yard gets this tall. It is better to start with a scythe. Saves wear and tear on the machine. I make hay, rake up the hay and then mow it.
A hay baler wouldn't have been out of place on that yard. LOL. Thank you for what you do and listen to that guy that said mow HALF SWATHS in such tall grass (hay) lol. Your mower will last much longer.
If I watch it during the day, I will turn it on at night to run before sleep...if I wake up any, I peep, see where he is in the yard, know what part he's in, and fall back asleep so then I know I haven't missed anything..lol❤
Mostly concrete, and I don’t really like going in backs without permission anyways. Don’t expect me to go into to many abandoned ones backyards, unless there is just a super wide opening with no gate
❤I've never seen your channel before but GodBlessYou for being such a kindhearted spirit Whoever owns that home & especially the neighbors to that house can't TY enough You put life back into that property WOW!❤ SUCH A GOOD JOB Can you come do my backyard too 😊
Thank you for helping the neighborhood. A tip i have learned from one of the othe gentleman i watch is to use the leaf blower to blow the heavy greass into piles rather than using a rake. It looks easier for the back.
The only issue I have with most of these ride-on mowers, is they tend to flatten the grass rather than straight cut it. Which means having to go back over the same spots twice. I wish there were ride-ons that were compact enough, but utilised those horizontal helix-shaped cutting heads, that way the grass doesn't get flattened as much. It's the style of mower our local council uses and means they can cover far greater ground (or more jobs) in the same time period. All the same, you do an excellent job with the equipment you have - and the results really speak for themselves!! Just a shame that neighbours helping out each other seems to be something of the past these days. They'd rather complain and cause violation notices to be sent, than get their own equipment and tools out and spend an afternoon cutting someone else's lawn. It's frustrating because often you can _see_ that their neighbour is clearly struggling and could do with a hand. And if they're elderly it can be very difficult for them to _ask_ for help when they need it - they were brought up to be self-reliant so sometimes you just need to go round and offer, or even do it first and _then_ inform them (sometimes asking for forgiveness is better than asking for permission).
Wow! You went into really tall weeds not knowing if there was any trash, but you went slow, that was smart. You'll be making this neighborhood look 100% better. Good job on finding this yard to do. Thank-you for helping out the homeowner with this yard makeover. God bless you stay healthy my friend!
Always sad to see a property owner that has lost there home to foreclosure...having been a victim of a predatory lender myself everything you have worked for is lost. Surely every situation is different as to why it was loss. But it's nice to see someone reaching out to clean up these properties. Should be done by the bank but we see here how that goes. Amazing job 😎👍
There is a bank-owned house in my town that has sat vacant for many years. It's wild, overgrown and the house has fallen in. I don't know why the bank didn't put it up for sale years ago.
This might sound weird but after a busy or bad day, to watch the grass being mown and becoming beautiful again I find very calming.
Me too
I agree waching it is calming. .so relaxing to watch...
It is very calming.
ASMR
I agree I watch several channels
If that yard would of been next to me. I would of cut it before it got that long. That was one BEAST of a lawn.
Amen, what a few more minutes riding your mower? Nothing nothing at all
I can't understand why the neighbors wouldn't help. Thank God for you.
@@leavingayeye5198 It's sad.
Exactly what I was thinking!!! WHY haven’t his neighbors mowed for an elderly man?!?!??
maybe they just don't care
@@mamabajahanna Exactly

Loved your invisible helper that delivered the trash containers!!
Josh do not let the others get to you! You did the job and it looked fabulous when done! Each one of you guys have your own ways of doing things. It’s the end result that counts! Thanks for what you do! 💕 🇺🇸
Thank you, I already know. It’s impossible to please everyone
This is the first time Ive seen some one rake up the clippings on a disastrous lawn. This will help in recovery. Good job sir.
If the front yard looks like that I can imagine what the backyard looks like
First time I've seen your video, I am impressed! I haven't seen anyone else clean up all that mown grass or take their time with the flower beds as you did. What a great video, I'm really enjoyed watching!

Me too now I can't even get maintenance that I will pay for ..
I hired a lawn service about 7 years ago. I live in Missouri. He is so wonderful . I am 71
❤
I know how you feel! I sold my dream house last year because I couldn’t take care of the yard like I liked it to look!
I’m at that age where I don’t want to do it anymore and I do it full time for my regular job so now I hire to have my yard cut hahaha to dam old to do it on my own time! 😂
I love the birds hoppin' around checking out what you're doin'!!! Hahaha They are funny!!!
They're eating insects and this man gave them a FEAST😮
So awesome of you!! I’m sure all of the neighbors are thrilled!! Great job 🎉
Absolutely beautiful job! I am so impressed! A complete transformation, and it now fits in so nicely with the rest of the neighborhood! Fabulous cleanup! I loved how you got up all of those clippings! Thank you for a wonderful video
Thank you
Awesome job. God bless you
Those two birds seemed to enjoy watching you.

TRUE, TRUE.
As did this elderly man . . . well done.
Was nice to see him help out a bit.

Hope it works for you. This equipment isn't cheap, nor are repair and down time. Your results look great!
Yes and this stuff was tall and wet, rained an inch that morning.
That was good advice, the inch of rain just makes it more difficult.
Great job, well done
What depths can the soil deal with to ín órdér to take in the décomposítíón of the plants adding to the soíl there?
Such a Great job. Lessons for your kindness!
I give you an A++ on that job.😊😊

Very well done! Glad you didn’t wreck your mower on that serious rock. I can’t believe the negativity in the comments. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I really love to watch these guys work at the end of the day it is so fulfilling ,bless their hearts ❤️
Those guys are the best, I gave one guy a chair, umbrella, and some of my drinks. He said he felt like he was in the vip section of a ballgame. 😂

They were all there already
That is inspiring! I'll bet the neighbors were SO HAPPY!!!!
It is So Nice & Beautiful even The Birds❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ it Too!!!!
Absolutely remarkable. Wonderful transformation
Your performance is always better with a intrigued audience, take a bow :)
Good job Josh! Them birds sure were in hog heaven gettin them bugs! 😂
Stunning. We don't usually see mowers on these videos using grass catchers and raking. Good for you!
Wow what a beautiful difference! Great job!!!

You probably best entertainment neighbor had in awhile. It pleased him to have his nighborhood look better.
❤great job 👏 👍

God bless you& yours, you are a gift from god. Rodents breed disease & live in that high grass. You are filled with grace.
EXCELLENT! Your good deeds are being recorded.. Where is counts most! May God protect you in your work.
Now it has some curb appeal hopefully it helps the house get sold than it can be kept up
Just a tip,using your leaf blower to stack the grass you need to p/u saves time & less use of your arms.Stay at it,you're doing great.👍🏻👍🏻
I’m gonna get a stronger blower next year
It would definitely require a powerful blower to push those clippings!
wow nice make over that lawn was long enough to bale it for the animals. Keep up the good work. Thank you for what you do.
You bet
Bravo! What a wonderful thing to do for this person. Great job.
Great work. the yard looks so good now.
The robins were not very happy with you. As always, you did a fantastic job on this property.
Hopefully they got some of the grass clipping to make nest with
Crows
That grass was so thick! Great transformation. Bet all the neighbors were happy!
Wow fantastic job! Looks like a nice house in a nice neighborhood!
Great job
That grass is tall and thick. Wow. Any time you start something like that, raise your blades to the highest setting. Mow it once then go back over with the setting at 3 or 4. That will keep your mower from struggling to cut. I heard it a lot. Great job on the law
I didn’t even drop the deck to begin with.
Good job 👍
Thanks 👍
This front yard was this bad I can only guess at how bad the back yard is/ was.
Job well done sir.
Mostly concrete
The neighbor was happy, great job!
You are a "Real" great and generous mower - right in "Time" ! The world thanks you.
Wasn't sure in the beginning, but nice job dude! House looks 5000 times better than it did. GOD bless you 😊.
In the spring I get busy and part of my yard gets this tall. It is better to start with a scythe. Saves wear and tear on the machine. I make hay, rake up the hay and then mow it.
I want to get one of those, I have a great idea for a video
Looks good. The grass and weeds look like they were dry and tough to cut down.
They are
Fabulous job 🎉
Beautiful job 👍🇺🇸✌️
Awesome job…what a job! Well done
Great jot. The house now looks as if someone lives there. Much better to look at. Bless your heart. ❤ Good job. 👍
A hay baler wouldn't have been out of place on that yard. LOL. Thank you for what you do and listen to that guy that said mow HALF SWATHS in such tall grass (hay) lol. Your mower will last much longer.

I bet he did enjoy 😉 it the smell of cut grass is wonderful
Looks wonderful. One good rain and it will green up since you removed the thatch. Excellent job!
Did a great job 👍 you must ran of time for the back yard.
Mostly concrete, and I don’t really like going in backs without permission anyways. Don’t expect me to go into to many abandoned ones backyards, unless there is just a super wide opening with no gate
Thanks for sharing.
Great to see simathetic prunning rather then clearance to ground a tough job on tools with such lush grass.
This is an Exellent recovery and Beautiful outcome! ❤❤❤
❤I've never seen your channel before but GodBlessYou for being such a kindhearted spirit
Whoever owns that home & especially the neighbors to that house can't TY enough You put life back into that property WOW!❤ SUCH A GOOD JOB
Can you come do my backyard too 😊
Yes! Fabulous job. Nice to see all that grass cut down and the nice edging work! The neighbor shold be pleased now!
What an amazing difference! I would hire you in a heartbeat if you were in my area to take care of my mowing.
Very methodical and very nice job. Thank you for getting all the cuttings put away. Stellar!
Lovely job and nice you had someone to watch it and put in a little helping hand. It was a mess.
Dude, that was some nasty grass. Awesome job…
That yard was a beast! You did an amazing job…looks wonderful. 😊
Well..we sit and watch you..why wouldn't he? Hes got a front row seat too.😊
Fabulous job on the lawn. Amazing on the transformation Dude
Great Job. Sure it was appreciated so much ,njoyed watching .
First time watcher and you did a fabulous job. I just subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to more videos.
Thank you
Job well done , great video .
Thanks 👍
Thank you for helping the neighborhood.
A tip i have learned from one of the othe gentleman i watch is to use the leaf blower to blow the heavy greass into piles rather than using a rake. It looks easier for the back.
I need a stronger blower, thinking the echo 9010, it’s twice as powerful.
It's rewarding to watch you give back to the community, May you be kept safe from Harm, or Wrong doings
Very nice work you did there.

Whew, I'm tired for you. That was one heck of a yard. You did an amazing job for that neighborhood. I bet they drove by just to see it😊.❤❤
