A month ago seeing Peggy's overgrown garden was tough, It's not nice knowing people are out there struggling and being isolated from the world. In just a couple of weeks I feel we have made such a positive impact, reclaiming her garden and planning to make it look how it used to be. My boys and wife often stop and say hello to Peggy on the School run, not sure where I am going with this but Thank you so much for watching and being apart of this online community! I feel like we all make such a difference, closing in on Three hundred thousand of lovely bunch. Have a great weekend!
You can tell your dad's a builder! Good job on the fence and well done to all involved!
Do you see yourself operating as a charity run business these days Ben ? I'm being serious
I am certain You're creating a future You didn't foresee for yourself and your People
Just an observation or even a vision, You're deeply involved in something special, that is for sure
You are truly blessings. God bless you all for helping so many people and inspiring others to do the same.
♥️
I look forward each week to watch the videos &your lovely family & funny bits with ya dad xxx
Someone needs to give this man an OBE, such a positive outlook and so well meaning in what he does, if we were all like him, the world would be a better place.
Ben and his Dad 😉💕 The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree 😊
And his dad❤🎉
Absolutely agree! Real community hero’s!
Amen to that
here is how to do that: www.gov.uk/honours/nominate-someone-in-the-uk
This is what true Hero's look like. No capes, no masks...Just big hearts and compassion.
How those gorgeous boys of yours have brightened up Peggy's days. Together with no longer being closed into her own home, she can only go upwards from here on. Well done to you all.
Come on folks let’s show our support for Ben and Paul.👍👍👍👍👍
And all others who have volunteered their time
A neighbour fixing 'Dad's' van is the prime example of one good turn leading to more. Great work guys.
Helder is a legend! Dad also broke down this week and he fixed it for free! The community feel on this street is growing and growing. Thank you so much for watching
@@FlawlessCleaningServices Genuine love for one another is a powerful force. It is very contagious and stronger than hate. You just may create a large movement in that area and affect others everywhere. Very heart warming. God bless
@@FlawlessCleaningServices Do you have any of those 'stop waffling' t-shirts for sale mate? If not, you should get a batch printed up and sell them on your channel. I'm positive they'll sell out in no time. Put me down for a couple. 😁
Me too.
Oh yes I would buy a stop waffling t.shirt 😊
Ben, I can hear the delight in Peggy's voice whenever she says hello to your boys. They are bringing her such joy, not to mention what you and your helpers are doing for her!
It's just heartwarming, trying to explain to the boys that just checking in on Peggy means the world to her. Thank you for watching
@@FlawlessCleaningServices Your boys will remember these people into the life. I still have fond memories of the older people we befriended as kids.
@@FlawlessCleaningServices I hope they will be able to pop in occasionally on their way home from school when you’re finished with her garden. It would be lovely for her to get an odd visit. ❤❤❤❤
The difference in Peggy is incredible! At the start she was so isolated and in her shell that she'd come and go with head down and barely acknowledge the hive of activity. Now she's interacting and smiling and peeking out the windows to watch the progress! (Watch the back door starting at 18:26!) It put the biggest smile on my face!
“I don’t know what I’m doing”- you’re doing good man! Working small miracles every week. We’re all proud to support you in what little way we can.
Thank you Elizabeth appreciate everything you lovely bunch do for me and the people we help 😊
Neighbors helping neighbors! How wonderful! Cleaning Peggy's yard, getting your van repaired, tea and biscuits from another neighbor, kindness is spreading! ❤❤❤❤
It's how things used to be.....helping our neighbours used to be second nature. It's so lovely watching the transformation of Peggy's garden ....well done to everyone involved 😊
thats nearly unheard of these days. where live they are more concerned about people roaming about and theivery and general bad stuff that goes on than helping each other out.
It’s inspiring to me too. I have an email neighbor, last year I helped weed her garden. It’s a reminder that I need to get over there to help this year too.
Jim's emotion brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for helping elderly people, you are an angel.
Jim is a gem! I can't wait for you all to meet him, everyday he has been making us lunch and telling us how grateful he is. I am grateful to have this epic online community, looking after the elderly is what we do and I love it!
Just imagine if there was a fire or some other emergency and Peggy couldn’t get out her back door. You might have saved her life.
You two are getting better and better rescuing people’s gardens. You look more professional each garden.
Ben you aren't just talking about change, you are BEING the change! You're renovating Peggy's garden as well as her life. I can't imagine the joy she feels everyday that Sam and your boys stop to say hello! How lovely you all are! You, your wife and your dad are wonderful role models for your boys and everyone watching ❤❤❤
The change in Peggy is notable! It just shows how important quality of life is for people. She’s much more engaging and seems happier than before, and I’m sure that’s because of all the work you’ve done and the sense of community around her. Well done 👏🏼
I think that she likes it when Theo and Arthur stop by.
The little guys are a huge part of it too. Just wonderful to see. 😊
Peggy's property is overwhelming. You were doing high pressure washing and now you are tackling massive projects like this.
I want to take my hat off to you, your dad, and everyone helping in whatever way they can. All hands on deck, every gesture makes a contribution.
The neighbours making tea for you all, the man who helped with your dads van, etc.
You are tackling this project step by step despite it being exhausting and overwhelming.
Look at how far you have come.
One day, you will finish and it will be a proud moment. It is a team effort and worth celebrating.
No older person should be isolated and neglected, it is an eye opener as to just how bad things can get for people struggling.
Well done for uplifting Peggy, the gentleman who's roof is rotting, and just making a joyous difference.
You, you dad, wife, the children, and everyone helping are incredible human beings that also deserve many blessings. If I could subscribe 100 times I would but alas I am only allowed to subscribe once and give a thumbs up once. 😅
Take time to rest and try not to burn out.
Big hugs from Germany 🤗💖👋
Well said - I agree, wish I could subscribe a hundred times!
I am in total agreement with you they are the best of society, Peggy's life will now be forever richer for the help these people have done for her, I hope those little boys will always too continue to enrich her life with their love and such engaging smiles
iT'S ALSO SAD , THAT THE LOCALS DON'T GIVE HER A HAND , IT WAS THE BRAMBLES SPOILING HER GARDEN THAT CAME FROM NEXT DOOR. tHEY SHOULD OF CUT THE BRAMBLES BACK ON THEIR SIDE. Very unfair .
I love how your raising the next generation of compassionate kind young men❤️
You have literally opened her life up. She was close to being trapped in a world of brambles. When you started she barely had a path to get out of her yard. She must also have so much more light in her house. You are all so wonderful.
Found this channel when you hardly had any watchers. Look how quickly its grown! People need this in their lives. We need this reminder to be better to each other. Thank you
Me too !! He totally is the purest of souls ❤
Same here, and Ben and his dad are so humble, true heroes
It made me giggle when you opened the shed door 🤣
You have ALL worked so hard. People helping people - this is what we need more of.
We are just getting started, the next episode is even bigger! Thanks for watching
What a change. It’s unbelievable how bad her yard was. She was basically trapped in her home. It’s criminal that no one was helping her maintain her property. All of you are heroes. May God bless you all. 🙏👍🏻☹️🧓🏻🇺🇸Texas
the bit where your little boy was telling you how best to handle the butterflies was adorable. I love his little sweet voice!
Kindness is catching, good for the gentleman who helped you out with the van!
Helder is a great neighbour to have on that street, he is very kind and offered to buy Peggy some flowers!
@@FlawlessCleaningServices that’s fantastic of him and all of you angels
I cannot imagine how difficult it is for Peggy all these times. You all pour your hearts out to clear up and rebuild the fences. Simply extraordinary! Respect ❤
Bless her she has so much going on, but I feel with each visit she is more on more positive! Thank you for watching
By opening Peggy's garden , you have opened her world. So wonderful for her and all the seniors you help. We need more people like you and your family ( and helpers).
Come on everyone, recommend Ben's channel to your friends - Ben needs a million subscribers!!!! Surely, he deserves a million subscribers!!!
Leave a like ya all!! Help him out..so he can keep doing the good work..
Those brambles went on forever. That was a huge job. Thank you, gentlemen, for helping Miss Peggy with her garden. Seeing your boys release the butterflies at her home was sweet. Looks like they have an adopted grandmother.
I couldn't imagine how Peggy felt being trapped in her own home. Everyone has done such a phenomenal job of cleaning up the yard and house. Absolutely love the fence. Your dad and crew are experts when it comes to building. I can tell Peggy's spirits have lifted especially when the boys come knocking to say hello. God bless you and your work.
When i was a kid, i would never have imagined that the highlight of my weekend was to wake up with eager anticipation of 30 minutes to myself with a coffee and watching Peggy's garden.
You keep your head up. The progress of community spirit is enormous. You and your company and family support (dad) are changing lives.
I love all of my White brothers and sisters.
@@MikeYork-bn1mt I just love everyone who does good
@@MikeYork-bn1mt what?
It’s amazing to see you go from pressure cleaning to transforming communities. In addition to Peggy, it looks like her neighbor on the other side also has a bramble overgrowth issue and Jim has severe issues with their roof. It made me tear up to see your family making such impact in this community.
These two men single handedly improving an entire neighbourhood and community
they do have other people helping them but yes, they are the catalyst!
From another man who has done this type of work for years to another. Thank you for making the impossible possible. Helping our elderly is the biggest reward one might receive here on earth. Their smiles make all the hard work you do all worth while .Much love and mad respect from across the pond 🙂👏👏👏👏👍
It is difficult to write a post without making it a tome because you guys do so much. Thank you. Kress must be very happy that they are helping you. The tools are amazing.
God blesses us so that we may bless others! Amen
You do not have to thank us for watching you working your backsides off. Well done to the three of you. You are making Peggy a part of the community again. Thank you.
Thank you Ben, Dad, and Bill for spreading more happiness along with the beautiful kiddos!!
Goodness! Theo is growing up quickly right in front of us! 🥰 Taller, glasses, new haircut and a scooter, too! Arthur is still precious.
Beautiful new fencing, and yard!! Thank you, Ben and Paul, and to the third gentleman that’s been helping with the fence. Great job!! ❤
You chaps are my heroes!! Honestly, the most feel-good videos on youtube! I love watching your dad and friend (uncle?) fixing that fence and you are all so good-spirited. Those brambles are wicked! What a lot of work, but totally rewarding and I am SO glad that your dad's van is getting some TLC from another neighbour. Peggy is sounding happier too and visits from the younguns totally pick up her spirits. You are all the most fantastic role models for others. I can't wait to see Peggy's garden revived. Looking forward to Jim's roof being fixed as well. Blessings on all your heads. From Manitoba, spring had sprung and there was NO snow to be found... until today. We have had rains and then it started SNOWING again! Ugh. Hopefully it will be very short-lived. The birds, who are nesting, seemed a bit confused. Happy weekend, all. ♥
Watching the transformation of Peggy has been amazing. She started of very quite and hesitant and now she is smiling and chatty.
You should be proud of the caring boys you are raising.
What I appreciate in these guys is that they actually take the time to remove the cut leaves, grass and twigs when others just shred everything into pieces and spread them all around.
So much safer as far as getting access to the property and home if there is a fire or other emergency for Peggy, and the responders.
Peggy looks like you’ve let the light back into her spirit, not just the back of the house. Thank you for all this hard work helping her and for sharing your delightful little boys!
It is lovely seeing your sons interacting with Peggy I believe her life has definitely been enriched by this, not only in getting her garden back but getting her involved with neighbours. WELL DONE all of you
The new fence will provide a wonderful fortress from other brambles coming into her garden. It’s hard seeing the before/after photos and thinking how sad it must have been for Peggy to see her lovely garden slowly disappear. Then came the best heroes ever to the rescue 🥰🥰🥰
How is it possible that these videos are so short? All the hard work you put into these projects and helping the community is amazing. Love your father, he’s so funny! Love it when you include the bloopers.
I could easily enjoy a full hour or more - my weekend begins with Ben posts 😊
Legend has it that a 3 man SAS recon team were found in the brambles!! ❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂
That fencing is a real woven wonder. Beautifully crafted and installed. Another job well done. A really astounding transformation.
When you clean one property, the whole neighborhood benefits. I love how the neighbors see what you are doing and take care of you in turn with tea and such.
Another challenge, but no challenge is to big for you amazing men.
Peggy must keep looking outside in disbelief that it's her garden. Hard graft, brilliant results.
Love the boys releasing the butterfly's and helping ❤ xx
You and your Dad are so amazing ! You have freed Peggy from her dungeon of darkness from thise brambles. Now she has so much light in her life because of you and your family. Love the butterflys !!
Having the boys befriend Ms. Peggy is absolutely brilliant! ❤
They are not enough words to say how I feel about these 2 very very special people THANKS SO MUCH FOR HELPING THIS BEAUTIFUL LADY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
This episode was fantastic!!! So much progress, guys. And then helping Jim across the way.... mind-boggling. It was wonderful seeing the boys, Sir Theo and Sir Arthur and their beautiful butterflies. Paul and Nick built a beautiful fence. And then one of her neighbors serviced your van???? Astounding!!!! Karma is alive and well in this episode. Much love and admiration to you all. Thanks for sharing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The garden looks way better (obviously), but the whole property looks less depressed and more inviting, especially now the sun can shine in! Well done and thank you!
Still got lots to do! but I totally agree.. it's a lot more welcoming now. Can't believe how big the plot is. Have a great weekend
So good to see the joy on Peggy’s face. You, your dad, and Nick are doing so much in such work in a short period of time, I am amazed. God bless your wife and sweet boys for visiting Peggy. Children always bring joy to the heart.
These guys should be nominated for a Community Service Award at the very least for the work they are doing. The transformation of this property alone in fabulous. I cannot wait each week for a new episode in their next project. This is better than watching television.
Your dad and his friend are amazing putting up fences is not an easy thing.Bless them 💕💕💕💕
I love that y’all are helping the elderly who can’t do for themselves. God bless y’all !
Honestly, its people like you Ben and your Dad, that need to be recognized for your kindness and generosity, not some actor for 5 minutes of charity work.
Kindness repays with kindness. Your unselfish service to others not only influences people but inspires them to repay with kindness as with Paul’s van. You have started something big my friend, and we all benefit from it. ❤
You have brought the light back to her house and into her life, her heart. Thank you! 🙏❤️🙏👏👏👏👏👏⭐️💛⭐️💛⭐️
If in every town, neighborhood or city, there were a handful of people willing to help those who need it out of love, empathy and solidarity, the world would change radically, people would be kinder and happier and seeing this behavior the values of the most little ones would grow up following in his footsteps.
I cannot express in words how good it feels to see that you are part of that handful of good people who give us hope, confidence and faith in the future. From Spain receive all the love from a grandmother who admires you.🙏🏻👏🏻💗.
Bravo Guys 👏🏼👏🏼 So happy y’all were able to help Peggy! Restoring her garden will bring her immense joy. Not all our elders have family, some live far away and others just don’t look after their family members 🤷🏼♀️ Peggy’s smile alone shows her appreciation!
This is how we are supposed to be with each other, neighbors helping neighbors. Thank you gentlemen for showing the world a few can make a huge difference ❤️
So interesting, Peggy must have stuff in those buildings that it seems like she hasn't been able to access for a long time... I hope she finds a lost treasure! Great job! - Your dad is a fencing marvel! He makes it look easy. Love the progress - looking great! You all are so kind! I think Peggy is getting excited - saw her peaking out the back door! I would love to see her have a small garden that she can access, if she would like one. :)
Another fantastic project. Poor Peggy was literally being swamped by her garden and now you have let the light back in to her home. Well done boys you restore my faith in humanity and remind us all to do what we can to help others. Even if it's just a cuppa and a smile x
The neighbourhood must be chuffed with the transformation. A place like that will devalue the street. Good work guys.
No phone this time! So glad you could change her life with this work, and that your boys got to take part! Thanks for wearing safety equipment. This clean up was unreal...years of neglect. Kudos to your dad and Jim as well!
You and your family are a blessing to the community and especially Norman, Sheila, and now Peggy. ❤
I loved this video and didn't want it to end! The property looks so great! I can picture Peggy out in her backyard with a cup of tea this summer with a butterfly or two flying around. So nice to see three generations of your family involved in these projects, and it's so clear that the goodness trickles down through the family through example. Can't wait for the next video!
I’ve never seen a house so overgrown in my life , you and your team are amazing workers . You deserve medals all of you that do all this charity work!
So wonderful to know that people like you and your dad are out there to help those in need. You guys are truly a blessing. Your kids are really sweet.
My goodness, these evoke such a mix of feelings, helplessness, overwhelmed, joy at the progress, innocence of children, amazement at brambles!, happiness and thankfulness when it’s completed ✔️.
Молодцы ребята, всегда жду с нетерпением новый ролик. Здоровья вам и успехов в труде. Привет из России, Москва.🙏💗
That chipper makes all the difference in the world. YOU make such a difference in the world! God bless you richly! I totally agree that you should receive a major award from the crown.
This is a crying shame that people live like this....... where are their kind and caring family to help them?? What a wonderful thing you are doing for Peggy!! GREAT JOB!
💕You’ve changed Peggy’s life by giving her a big Helping Hand & sorting out her garden💕
I have to say, I had tears in my eyes after watching this. What a lot of work and love you have all put in to help Peggy (and everyone else). As a pensioner myself here in a very small town in New Zealand, I would just like to say that you are ALL one of life's true treasures. God bless you.
I donat to this channel every time I’ve got a little money to spare, because I love the work you’re doing with your dad and family and friends. You are amazing people.
(Tongue firmly in cheek.) It's a good thing these take as long as they do. Because if Norman, Shelia, Peggy, and others were able to leave in the morning to get groceries with their little pull-carts and you were able to have final results in a snap. It'd be like "Raiders of the Lost House" They say things like, "Where'd it go, where'd it go? Cuz I'm used to crossing a jungle with deadly dangers in it to reach my front door." It'd be midnight, crickets chirruping in the background, and they would still be circling that same block dragging their pull-cart behind them, around and around - Can't recognize their home.
(Meant to be funny& light-hearted, not critical.) You're doing great work and passing out an enormous helping hand.
What a fantastic transformation you’ve already accomplished with Peggy’s yard/garden and to think you’ve still so much to do! I can’t even begin to fathom how much what you, your dad and Jim have done/will do has improved Peggy’s outlook and mental health. She’s already showing a much more positive attitude from the beginning of the work, when she still seemed uncertain about things. She definitely was looking forward to the work being done but still seemed hesitant in her optimism. I loved seeing her in window watching you clear the brambles from around the back door area! LOL! I wondered what was going through her mind watching you work, how much wonder and joy was she feeling watch the garden being transformed.
Peggy is perking right up. I think the boys are a joy to her heart.
It is so uplifting to see Ben and Dad doing wonderful things for people who need a helping hand! And Mom and the kids are so sweet, stopping by to say hi to Peggy!
It appears no phones were harmed in the making of this video. 😅🤣😂
I wasn't ready for the phone comments on this video, thank you for the laugh
@@FlawlessCleaningServices No problem Ben, you're welcome, keep up the great work.
Oh, these are smart phones! They learned after last time!😮😅
@@lauralake7430 lol
Oh, I'm so glad I stopped by this morning! What a challenge but know you and your Dad and everyone working on this will do a smashing job of it!
What a difference to this home. It would be wonderful if more folks helped the elderly or disabled with their yard work. Blessings to you and your crew.
So much SUNSHINE and fresh air was robbed from her! You gave it back. What a sweet and charming yard you've restored. I'm just sooooooo impressed with your mission. It's just wonderful. Really.
Thank you Ben, Paul, and everyone that contributed physically and financially to helping Peggy, you are true angels.🙏 Can't wait to see Jim and Jean's episode.😊
I hope someone maintains this for her,as it will all come back,sooner than later!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!!
You and your dad are GOOD people, the world needs more of you.
Not only have you restored her environment but you’ve also reunited the little community
What a fabulous thing to be able to do
You and your dad just amaze me with your kindness and hard work. All the people that have helped on your projects are truly wonderful
Honestly, watching you doing these amazing things for people who so need
it really gives me faith in kindness and compassion, at a time when the world feels so broken. Thank you Ben, you’re an angel!
I absolutely love that tool you use to spifflicate the brambles! It’s incredible! And maybe it’s just me, but postcrete going in the ground and being mixed… can’t get enough of it!!
And finally (because I’m waffling), bless your beautiful children. Theo is so like your lovely Dad!
I think it shows a lot about today’s society in that those around this dear lady allowed her property (inside and out) to get in such a state. Where I live, years ago everyone kept their gardens pristine, most today are an overgrown mess. The can’t be bothered society. Well done and thank you for rescuing Peggy from such neglect.
Seeing your baby digging out roots at the end, what can sat, parenting better than that. You are saving the world one garden, one person at a time.
Watching every video you make never fails to warm my heart. Seeing the quiet desperation of these elderly people basically trapped in their failing homes and overgrown yards, with no way to rectify the problems is so terribly sad, yet after a few visits by you, your Dad and hardworking helpers they look so relieved and happy. You lift their spirits tremendously and raise their standard of living at the same time. Bonus for them is a visit by your precious children! Bravo, well done. You have a very kind and compassionate heart. ❤️😘
Look at those two handsome gentleman still rocking hardwork!! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Seeing Jim's house brought me to tears. I think of how much stress that leaking roof must be causing him. I can't wait to see your next vlog! God bless you guys.
Wow! Fantastic..! Don't forget, boys, peggys washing line! I'm sure she'd love that back. See you all next time. ❤️😍😍
You are doing such a fantastic hard work for helping Peggy. I am totally amazed. You even dig up the roots! Thank you so much for letting us follow on your journey!
