    I found this crazy overgrown property with a completely hidden sidewalk in the front yard. I knocked on the door but it was obviously vacant, so I thought I would go ahead and get it cleaned up for the neighborhood. The sidewalk going along the front of the property was so covered in dirt that I had to use my wheelbarrow to shovel it into and haul it away. This took me about 6 hours of shoveling and then I spent another 3 hours mowing down the crazy tall grass. A neighbor did come up to me and told me that the person that used to own this property was put into a nursing home and the city had to eventually declare the home as uninhabitable because it got to the point where it was unsafe for someone to live inside.

      It amazes me that anybody would make negative comments about picking up the clippings. I have lived in my house for 38 years. I NEVER pick up the clippings. I have gone over it with a dethatcher a couple of times. But my grass does just fine with no added fertilizer since the original seeding. You should consider getting a mattock to break up such heavily overgrown sidewalks / driveways. Work smart not hard. Great work. A couple of moments there with that beard, neck flap, and shadows, I thought you had AP ( Clean the City ) helping you. LOL

    I can't believe people leave comments about grass clippings. First, as long as they are well mulched, they can be healthy for the lawn and help reseed it. Second, NOBODY LIVES THERE!
    You always do such an amazing job. And yes, I think it would be great to see the rest of the sidewalk cleared off. It's an immense amount of hard labor, but it would look fantastic, and people could use it again. I imagine a cleaned off sidewalk could encourage people to get outside and take walks as well.
    As always, you do great work. I've learned so much from you on how to take care of my own yard and am very grateful. 😊

    Landscaped for 15 years.Grass clippings are probably the best thing for grass.Not only do they decompose and provide nutrients and moisture for the lawn but it also prevents the fresh cut grass from getting burned by the hot sun.Its more about esthetics if it’s an occupied home,I agree.Lots of armchair critics sitting at home not doing the work will never know.

    • @ChrisWhitley-tx1oz
      @ChrisWhitley-tx1oz 2 місяці тому

      Well I noticed you didn’t have any comments. You are right. The grass should go back where it came from. This is sometimes difficult when you have really tall thick grass. That can be hard to decompose on the lawn unless spread out or chopped up. Myself, I’m a bad boy and I steal the grass and make compost for my garden. Now if you are so inclined you can make a compost tea to spray on your yard and replace the grass you liberated.

    Neighbor should want the sidewalk to continue. Gosh the song in the before/after - "We lost track of time."
    PS - The clippings get eaten by the worms that aerate the soil and the decomposing grasses moisten and feed, and the seeds reseed, the lawn.
    Did this with the leaves of old growth trees in the fall on Long Island - mowed them when dryish and let the nightcrawlers consume the broken pieces through the grass and soil.

    That recovered sidewalk really does add to the area, connects it back together. That sidewalk was uncared for for a long time, from the dirt built up. Raising the tree branches was a good visual move. 33:55 I looked back from where you were, on the second section of sidewalk, and the first area already looked completely normal. I've noted your stable wheelbarrow before, with outside tires, it wouldn't be prone to twisting your back all the time, from imbalancing on one tire. Been glad you had it. You did a great job on this place, made it pleasant, connected and safer for the neighborhood.

People on the lake always wanted me to pick up the grass clippings because, Lord forbid, they track it in their $1 million + houses. That is, until I explained to them that the clippings would help put nutrients back into their lawns. Some were ok with it, others not so much. I always said, "you can't please everyone", so there were customers that I didn't take on. I didn't have a mower that had a bagger on it anyway. Keep doing what you're doing! You make a difference in peoples lives!

    You have a mower that can break down the clippings. If no one is living there, it will keep the lawn under control, but also fertilize it as it decomposes. I used to use mine in my vegetable garden. I would get the plastic toboggans out and dump the bag into them, my girls would pull them to the garden and put the grass between the rows of vegetables. Oh my goodness, it kept the weeds down completely, acted like a greenhouse, and had healthy plants with a ton of vegetables and tomatoes. In my neighborhood, if you have extra, you share with the neighbors. My neighbors loved me. Some had enough to freeze and can! My ex-husband loved all the fresh produce as well. He rototills the garden for me, and helps dig the potatoes.😅
