EPIC Lawn Makeover for Abandoned House with TRAPPED dogs and BABY Raccoon Rescue

  • I stopped several times trying to catch someone at this massively overgrown property. Neighbors informed me that the home owner had passed away, and they believed the home was in foreclosure. With the house being deemed "uninhabitable" I was very SHOCKED to learn there were still residents inside the home, BUT not what you would expect. During this lawn cleanup, part of my family stopped to offer a drink. WHAT MY DAUGHTER FOUND WAS CRAZY, (and we were even able to find a loving home for the little guy she found crying outside). Even though I couldn't get into the backyard, I was able to mow, trim, edge and vacuum up that tall grass in front. Truly a STUNNING transformation with several surprises along the way. Check out the end of the video to see information on the Grayson Grace Wildlife Rehabilitation and Rescue.

    Also a new subscriber. You’re the first one that doesn’t use a zero turn mower from what I can tell that I’ve been watching over the past year about it does a different lawn restoration people. I enjoy them and I enjoy your work. They’re all hard workers just like you!
    By the way, that big knife suspiciously looks like a short machete. I’ve seen a couple of other lawn care people use them for chopping down, big weeds and small trees along the fence line.
    Also, a little tip I’ve seen from other videos, get one of those big green bags for Lawn waste. Be easier to haul off. 😁

      ​@@LeavingAMarkOutdoors ...Couldn't animal control be called instead, and let them know there are dogs living inside a vacant house? I would think they would/should act upon something like that to try to rescue them, or at least investigate to see what's going on. I don't know what neighborhood services is, but by the sound of their name, do they even have any legal authority to do anything about or with the dogs? How long would they monitor them, and then what would they do? It just doesn't sound right to me, but I don't know that much about that kind of thing.

    Fairly new sub here. Great job on this property. My only complaint is the click-bait title. Yes the homeowner is deceased, but it’s not like they are still in the home rooting away as the title of your video implies. Please do better. I understand you do it for getting views, but really? Let your work speak for itself. Finally, animal control needs to come and get the dogs. That is one thing that you should push back on the city. That is animal abuse. Treat the dogs as well as you treated the baby raccoon.
