I’m a retired firefighter. This video reminded me of the time our crews responded to a heart attack call, which a man had while mowing his yard. The ambulance crew took care of him, and other firefighters finished mowing his yard for him.
sure but first ask them if they want to give up all their other taxpayer funded benefits. if it is a low income neighborhood, I bet they would say No in a heartbeat because they are getting out way more than they put in.
So nice to see the kindness of people stopping by to give support....picking up debris, dropping of chicken sandwiches.......love the kindness....makes the world go round 🙏🥰👍
Not only do the kids not have to go out in the road, but if they had used the sidewalk and were hidden from the street by all the tall grass, nobody would have seen and been able to help if something bad happened. Thank you, Al.
It’s amazing how one man, a trimmer, a shovel, and an edger can make such a profound difference. That city should be ashamed. Thank your friend Trey for standing guard.
If I lived next to that property, or near that property, I would have uncovered at least that sidewalk a long time ago, before it became too big a job for anyone to want to do. There is so much "not my job" energy here -- that is how this situation happened. Owner absent and neglectful, not a priority for the city, neighbors stand around and complain but don't take a mower or trimmer into their own hand, even though they can take care of their own yard. Sheesh.
@@MyFiddlePlayerfacts, people use “not my problem” like it truly benefits them in anyway other than not having to actually physically do something about it. The worst part is that they say “I’ll be wasting time that I could be using to do other things” but then proceed to sit in their house on tiktok for hours.
The city workers were using that as an excuse to not cut that lawn. If they were really scared, they could of had a cop stand by while they cut it. Great job as always Al!
I call BS on the city worker part, sounds like they where just being lazy not wanting to really work. I see that side walk as dangerest for adults and kids. Thank you Sir for taking on that job when the city would not.
Every commenter is correct. The city is just making a BS excuse not to do it. That is a clear-cut dereliction of duty and everyone from the top-down need to be disciplined appropriately. A police escort will always be provided to ensure the safety of the city employees. Props to Trey for having Al's back and thanks to the locals for being so kind!
This is true. I purchased a property in this type of neighborhood once ( l didnt last long there… but that’s a whole other story) Anyway, I heard a story of local utility workers having cops actually standby & watch while they did work in the area. It is pretty pitiful that some ignorant people that like causing trouble would even make that a necessity but it shouldn’t be used a reason to stop workers from coming in to make an area safe and habitable for the other folks forced to live in those types of areas
If the city fears for the safety of its workers in that area, you need to ask why? I imagine there have been incidents of violence that lead to this. Behave better people and you won't receive this kind of reaction. Al is brave, but even he needed a "bodyguard ".

The government isn’t here to help us. It’s the community that must come together and look out for each other. Thanks for what you do man, you make huge differences in peoples lives!
We need to step away from Government and take on the responsibility for things that affect us. Stop waiting for your government to care about you. They only want your vote and money. When you have a problem, light up their phones every day. Get others to call in for the same thing. Remember the squeaky wheel.
Biden has ZERO to do with your property taxes. You need to look at who is running your state and local government. Don’t be throwing shade in the wrong direction.
@@copperpenny0209the best part about property taxes are that they go to nothing that isn't already paid for by other taxes, and you continue to pay them after you own the property. Every other item in your life stops charging taxes after you own it except that. The property taxes are SUPPOSED to pay to upkeep city sewers, pay for emergency services, and schools. Then they tacked on the "general projects" title to it. So, city sewers are all horribly unkempt and in disrepair all over the country. Most of them are the original structures that were placed when we first made the system. Emergency workers are all paid out of the gas tax as well as federal income taxes. Schools are paid from property taxes and federal education budgets that come from the income tax. The best part of that is thy you get to pay for schools even if you have no children. The general projects taxes pay for VERY IMPORTANT things, like (here in Tennessee) the Nashville Sounds semi pro baseball team, the Tennessee Titans (14k per day to clean the arena, in addition to paying part of the ticket costs, player pay, and arena upkeep), and the Nashville Predators. We don't get tickets to games or jerseys, but we pay for them. This is why all government funds need to be audited and refigured. Neighborhoods like these need to be cleaned up by the city. Cops get paid to keep places safe. If this area is "dangerous", then th le cops in that area need to stop getting a paycheck. They're supposed to live in the areas they're employed in to being with.
There are a lot of good people living in "bad" neighborhoods. Thanks for investing your time and efforts in this neighborhood where the good people are often invisible.
These transformations really do impact the neighborhood and the community it is located in. Now all the kids are able to use the sidewalk safety the things we take for granted.

Hey Al! Thank you for being with us, and actually enjoying doing these transformations. Not only transformations, but doing it for the good of communities is an awesome thing. Keep on riding the YT wave for as long as you feel happy doing it. Cheers!
Al this is why I watch your videos. Your amazing to think about the children walking to school, and not being able to walk on the sidewalk because of the over grown grass and weeks. That city officials should be embarrassed. Bless your heart for doing what the city wouldn't.
Go to a city council meeting videos about your community service job and watch every person attending give you a standing ovation. Maybe the city will hire you for some of the other work they're afraid of doing. What a crock. They probably just hired lazy workers. Kudos for all the good work you do for others, Al and Trey. You're the Good Guys.
Nothing prevented the parents of those kids forced to walk in the street from cutting the grass themselves to keep the sidewalk clear. Yes, the City should have none it, but they didn't. Thankfully Al came to the rescue, but who will keep it accessible from here on out?
@@robineast6446 "No he didn’t. He just fixed the sidewalk and by the street…" And the main problem was the children not being able to use the sidewalk to go catch the school bus and needing to walk along the side of the street, and just a general nuisance for everyone else who lived there and needed to use the sidewalk. So, yes, he did fix the problem. Now the children can safely use the sidewalk and it will be a lot easier for everybody else as well.
@@oldtimefarmboy617 Al cannot come and take care of it all the time. He solved the problem for some time. Soon it will grow back, and they will have the same problem.
@@katarinas3361 "@oldtimefarmboy617 Al cannot come and take care of it all the time. He solved the problem for some time. Soon it will grow back, and they will have the same problem." Sometimes problems get out of hand before people realize that it is a problem and it becomes more than they can handle. Now that they know the problem the overgrowth can cause, since they obviously take care of their own lawns, they can do a little extra and one or more of them can make certain that area along the sidewalk does not get that way again. The solution to most problems requires knowing what the problem is in the first place. Now they know and they can easily prevent the problem from occurring again.
Thank you Al Bladz for the sincere and honest work you do. Beyond the lawn care…thank you for exposing the dysfunctional city council. Be Ashamed city council you earned it! 🇺🇸🦅❤️
A huge increase in the safety of the kids using the side walk instead of the road, and everyone else. Plus a big improvement to the general appearance of the neighbourhood. It will not go unnoticed by the community.
45 minutes made a lot of hearts happy and the whole street looking fresh the city should be ashamed they couldn't take 45mins to go out there themselves. Thankfully they city got your amazing heart helping
@gordbaker896 di you not watch the video...literally says in the video they called the city and had a whole fight on fb about who's job it is to clean it....this guy fixed the cities issues in 45mins so thank him and don't ask questions if you don't even watch the video like they clearly called the city bro
Typical neighborhood mentality also! If I lived next to or across the street from this I would’ve cleaned it up! I take pride in my community and myself!
What a wonderful makeover! Like you said... NIGHT AND DAY! Now the kids can walk safely on the sidewalk as can the rest of the community! Beautiful job! You have a heart of gold!
Good job Al and Trey for standing guard for him, and for helping the neighbors live a little safer in their neighborhood. The homes around this area are very nice and clean homes, I think the city should recheck their decisions, same on who makes that decision 😒
There you go again Al...doin' GOOD and CONNECTING with people to form' Community' from the brokenness that is our there = Victorry! Keep on keepin' on! Thanks 4 sharing...health and blessings! xo :)
Al your so kind and very much loved by your supporters. What a man there’s not many men like you. Thank you for setting an example for others. God bless you and your family and friends who help you. Have a very blessed life
Fantastic job!! The city should pay you, and be ashamed for not going to help this neighborhood. If it’s so bad then shame on their police department. They also are not doing their job. The kids need to be safe!! You’re a blessing Al. 😇
Who knows maybe if they impose fines and if property taxes go unpaid as well they can legally place a lien foreclosure on property & sale it 🤷🏼♀️ City/County profits.
I am so glad to see you again online, you have been missed❤️ You are truly a blessing to people in need, even if there is possible danger. Hopefully the neighborhood will improve because of your cleanup.
@@chriswilford3576 Ir may not be "right', but there is a lot of truth in it all over the world. Ya et things slide and when you do get around to the area the neighbors off load a ton of resentment, Circular logic why not ask folks in Crickewood or some other spots in London about it for example.
@@chriswilford3576dont listen this color bs! That’s the typical let’s play victim response and take zero accountability. Why haven’t any of these people done anything to help?? That’s the real question. Peace Chris
The transformation and the work it takes is always fun to see. Trimming back the trees and then recutting to mulch the grass is such an added bonus to make what you have done look even better and last longer. Thanks for the entertainment!
You probably just saved a child or two from getting hit by a car or truck!! Thank You Al for taking this on when the City wouldn’t!! Thank You Trey for helping out and having Al’s back!! God Bless You Both❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
The city won't come into the "black neighborhoods" to cut the grasses, but they have no problem collecting the "black neighborhood's taxes!!!!🤔🤔 Blessings to you, Al!😊❤
That pick up by the trash truck didn't seem to be on a route. I think the guys stopped because they saw somebody actually doing something to help and were good with it.
You are one of the nicest men I’ve ever watched on UA-cam. Thanks for helping this neighborhood and the children who walk anywhere on this sidewalk. I hope you’re doing better and we love you and the family and your videos ❤️❤️
Yes, he is extremely nice - too nice! If you truly care about others, you allow them to do for themselves and their loved ones instead of letting things get bad, and then just letting someone else do the hardworking.
Oh brother. And now we all know that you voted for Biden. Why do you on the left never feel it's the responsibility of the homeowners to take care of their yards?
@@ronkistner2672 Because thats what city taxes pays the city to do to vacant homes. It's literally their job. You dont see citizens fixing potholes in the street do you. We dont pay taxes for fun.
@@2kt2000 you and your attitude are what's wrong with this country. Besides, fixing potholes takes special equipment; bags of cold patch from Lowe's don't cut it. Apples and oranges.
It was so satisfying to see the sidewalk cleared and available for the safety of the neighborhood. When the lady said “in the black areas the city does not come through” it made me sad and mad at the same time !! Now, thanks to your hard work and dedication the kids now have a safe place to ride their bikes. The community looks a lot better and everyone can enjoy walking safely. Thank you for all the great work you do!!! Blessings !!!
One thing about his buddy, he isn't scared of work. He'll sit right there and watch him. LOL That's a good friend to watch over him to make sure he stays safe. There are a lot of people that are grateful for what you do. Keep up the good work and we'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers that God continues to watch over and bless you.
Wow, Al. Of all the many great makeovers you have done, this one is special. How much safer have you made this neighborhood. I can't imagine the little kids having to walk in the street and you may have helped turn the neighborhood's prospects around.
7:53 Hey Al, I love your content. I think I'm almost all caught up. Watching this one is amazing. You are God's blessing. Even tho it's not my yard, I want to thank you for all the hard work and your enormous heart❤
What a beautiful transformation! I can just imagine the smiles on the faces of the children when they realized they didn't have to walk on the busy road anymore. It looks like that house beside the sidewalk could use some good lawn care also.
In all fairness to all the people blaming the neighbors for not doing this, it's doubtful they have the powerful equipment he has to do the job. Love watching your videos and your caring heart!
What's even more disgusting is the mindset of that woman blaming them for not coming out because it's a black community. Cities let a-lot of properties go in all parts of the city, unfortunately. A call isn't going to do anything, attend board meeting for your communities, making a presence is how things get done.
So I live in Australia and we have councils who maintain roads, collect garbage. We pay rates for garbage, levies for other things that the council decides in. I live on small acreage and the council expects us to maintain the grass verges but are supposed to come and mow 6 times a year. I go for walks and the grass was taller than me and it was not safe to walk on the road. So I went to the council, then sent an email to my division councillor. No reply so I emailed the local news station and they came out and interviewed me. The day after it was on the tv they came out and mowed. Haven't walked there for 18 months as I had an accident and face planted on the road so have to drive in and walk with a friend. The grass out here is so long again and nothing gets done
@@idriveaxj5670 Waste your time going one of them meetings they look out for themselves and nobody else. I don't know when people going to get they don't care.
@@judyboast4020 here in the US if there's a lawn on city property in front of your house you mowe it, the city doesn't go around cutting all the lawns between the sidewalks and your house. If the "community" was so disgusted by it why didn't they come up with a solution so the kids could walk freely on the sidewalk, they obviously are just a community of complainers amongst themselves. That's why we have people like AL, no complaining just do it.
What's sad, is that the city won't come out to that area, but the neighborhood looks nice and decent and the only people you met were super nice and friendly. It's the worst case scenario of where a few bad apples spoil the barrel.
Very often, it's just an excuse. I was once told some services weren't provided in my neighborhood anymore because it was a so-called bad neighborhood. I've lived here for more than 30 years and felt safe even at night all this time. But there aren't any rich or otherwise influential people living here and there's a lot of social housing.
Hey❤ Good to see you. I know the neighbor going to appreciate this . You made it much easy for the kids and safe . They don’t have to worry about getting hit by a car or anything else. Thank again for helping those that need help. God bless you and keep you safe and out of harm’s way
Thankyou to all the neighbors kind words to Al and trey for all the hard work. Thankyou Trey for being Al's bodyguard. And the ladies that bought them food, that was so thoughtful. Al, you worked your fingers to the bone on this one. Kiddos to you.. you certainly have a very big heart. God bless you and your family.
Thank you, Trey for being Al's guardian angel, and Lacey for feeding these gents! WAs that an empty lot or vacant house? Either way, wonderful that you cut it down to size so the community can use the WHOLE walkway and feel safe!
So glad for the community and the children, that you were able to come and help solve this huge problem. The area looks nice and the children will be safer now not being forced to ride bikes or walk alongside of traffic. Wonderful team work guys!

Hey Al! Thank you for being with us, and actually enjoying doing these transformations. Not only transformations, but doing it for the good of communities is an awesome thing. Keep on riding the YT wave for as long as you feel happy doing it. Cheers!
A mere man, putting an entire municipality to shame. Al even tackled a tree. Thank you, Jesus! Exceptional!
Al this is why I watch your videos. Your amazing to think about the children walking to school, and not being able to walk on the sidewalk because of the over grown grass and weeks. That city officials should be embarrassed. Bless your heart for doing what the city wouldn't.
IKR? Plus, toooo scary looking for kids to pass by that property. Every kid has that one place they don't like to walk by! 😉
Go to a city council meeting videos about your community service job and watch every person attending give you a standing ovation. Maybe the city will hire you for some of the other work they're afraid of doing. What a crock. They probably just hired lazy workers. Kudos for all the good work you do for others, Al and Trey. You're the Good Guys.
Nothing prevented the parents of those kids forced to walk in the street from cutting the grass themselves to keep the sidewalk clear. Yes, the City should have none it, but they didn't. Thankfully Al came to the rescue, but who will keep it accessible from here on out?
yea I walk through the valley of grass I will fear no evil when al bladez makes it safe for all
You are a blessing, thank you for showing kindness and love everywhere you go.
The rest of the houses on the street look so nice. I’m sure they hated this one being such a mess. But Al Bladez fixed that problem! Go Al!
No he didn’t. He just fixed the sidewalk and by the street…
@@robineast6446
"No he didn’t. He just fixed the sidewalk and by the street…"
And the main problem was the children not being able to use the sidewalk to go catch the school bus and needing to walk along the side of the street, and just a general nuisance for everyone else who lived there and needed to use the sidewalk.
So, yes, he did fix the problem. Now the children can safely use the sidewalk and it will be a lot easier for everybody else as well.
They didn't hate it looking like a mess, if so, they would have gotten together and cleaned it up!
@@oldtimefarmboy617 Al cannot come and take care of it all the time. He solved the problem for some time. Soon it will grow back, and they will have the same problem.

"@oldtimefarmboy617 Al cannot come and take care of it all the time. He solved the problem for some time. Soon it will grow back, and they will have the same problem."
Sometimes problems get out of hand before people realize that it is a problem and it becomes more than they can handle. Now that they know the problem the overgrowth can cause, since they obviously take care of their own lawns, they can do a little extra and one or more of them can make certain that area along the sidewalk does not get that way again.
The solution to most problems requires knowing what the problem is in the first place. Now they know and they can easily prevent the problem from occurring again.
I dont know why, but it is so relaxing to watch you clean up the yards, and listening to it also calms my nerves! Thank you for posting these!!
Watching someone create order out of chaos is very soothing.
@@jankirschke7425And satisfying!
The city should award you a medal of honor!
Reimbursement
Thank you Al Bladz for the sincere and honest work you do. Beyond the lawn care…thank you for exposing the dysfunctional city council. Be Ashamed city council you earned it! 🇺🇸🦅❤️
And excepting the SALARIES in Lue for jobs not done they should choke on their food.
A huge increase in the safety of the kids using the side walk instead of the road, and everyone else. Plus a big improvement to the general appearance of the neighbourhood. It will not go unnoticed by the community.
Absolutely agree!
Best response 👌
Hope the neighbors keep it up.
AND WHILE COULD’NT THE MEN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD MOW THE OVERGROWN LOT. THEIR CHILDREN PROBABLY HAD TO TRAVEL THROUGH THAT AREA THAT AL MOWED.‼️
I have a feeling the kids are more in danger from the people in that community than they were walking down the road.
Thank you.
For everything you do just remember you are special.You are important and you are so needed.Thank you
Always good to see when the neighbors are thankful for what you do.
The world need more good people like you. keep up the good work.
45 minutes made a lot of hearts happy and the whole street looking fresh the city should be ashamed they couldn't take 45mins to go out there themselves. Thankfully they city got your amazing heart helping
Why not call the City and demand cleanup?
@gordbaker896 di you not watch the video...literally says in the video they called the city and had a whole fight on fb about who's job it is to clean it....this guy fixed the cities issues in 45mins so thank him and don't ask questions if you don't even watch the video like they clearly called the city bro
Typical government mentality response in this case: "It's not my job."
Typical neighborhood mentality also! If I lived next to or across the street from this I would’ve cleaned it up! I take pride in my community and myself!
@@jimw1615if lazy people like you cleaned up your neighborhoods, you wouldn't cry so much.
What a wonderful makeover! Like you said... NIGHT AND DAY! Now the kids can walk safely on the sidewalk as can the rest of the community! Beautiful job! You have a heart of gold!
I wonder if they will, even that lady at the end said she still wasn't going to walk over there. lol
Good job Al and Trey for standing guard for him, and for helping the neighbors live a little safer in their neighborhood. The homes around this area are very nice and clean homes, I think the city should recheck their decisions, same on who makes that decision 😒
It's awesome that you gave them back their sidewalk! What a great transformation. Way to go Trey for finding a great project for the channel
😊
So happy for the kids' safety. Very satisfying to watch. Thank you, Al, for your sacrifice.
There you go again Al...doin' GOOD and CONNECTING with people to form' Community' from the brokenness that is our there = Victorry! Keep on keepin' on! Thanks 4 sharing...health and blessings! xo :)
The world is better with you in it. Thank you.
Al your so kind and very much loved by your supporters. What a man there’s not many men like you. Thank you for setting an example for others. God bless you and your family and friends who help you. Have a very blessed life
Glad to see you getting back out there we missed you ❤
Fantastic job!! The city should pay you, and be ashamed for not going to help this neighborhood. If it’s so bad then shame on their police department. They also are not doing their job. The kids need to be safe!! You’re a blessing Al. 😇
Sadly, I (due to paranoia) wonder if the city hopes if an area is left alone long enough that someone like Al will do it for free. 😢
Who knows maybe if they impose fines and if property taxes go unpaid as well they can legally place a lien foreclosure on property & sale it 🤷🏼♀️ City/County profits.
@@scarter8137 that's what they want.
Yes then they call cops racist for doing their job. They can’t win either way. People forget about blm. Wasn’t long ago.
For such a bad neighborhood, not one police car went past. Not one person bothered you.
You’re a good man…we need more people like you in this world. Thank you!!
You are a blessing to so many..you are a good man and do excellent work...we love you 😊
I am so glad to see you again online, you have been missed❤️
You are truly a blessing to people in need, even if there is possible danger. Hopefully the neighborhood will improve because of your cleanup.
Give Trey a BIG thank you from us for taking care of you. I know it’s nice just to have company, especially for you right now ❤
😊
@@Treyseverythingadventures you and AL make a great team!
What an amazing thing you did for that community! If more people were like you, this world would be perfection!
Always a pleasure to watch you work! Shame on the city for being "afraid" and not doing their job!
There not afraid they don't like the color of the people !
@@lindac6416that’s disgusting, I’m watching from Australia and I don’t understand how your city councils work, but I know it’s not right
@@chriswilford3576 Ir may not be "right', but there is a lot of truth in it all over the world. Ya et things slide and when you do get around to the area the neighbors off load a ton of resentment, Circular logic why not ask folks in Crickewood or some other spots in London about it for example.
@@chriswilford3576dont listen this color bs! That’s the typical let’s play victim response and take zero accountability. Why haven’t any of these people done anything to help?? That’s the real question. Peace Chris
@@TC-dw6wgThey help by paying taxes, yet receive unequal treatment.
Al.......I admire you for heart and caring for others. Getting that side walk open was so helpful to the community and the kids. You are the best. 😊
That was a big transformation! They should give you a “ Key to the Community “ award!!
Thanks Al! Glad to see you laughing!
The transformation and the work it takes is always fun to see. Trimming back the trees and then recutting to mulch the grass is such an added bonus to make what you have done look even better and last longer. Thanks for the entertainment!
Thank you so much for helping clean that walkway to keep the kids safe. Your the best ❤ And thank the lady who feed them, Tre for helping out again❤
Your ❤heart is in the right place, I admire how everyone that cuts free yards grass helps each other out 🙏🏽
Al maybe you should keep doing yards in these neighborhoods and show them some love, btw you and Trey make a good team.
Yes not only that blessing other neighborhoods can help him expand this channel even more, good job AL & Trey 👍
He does!❤
Beautiful! Just beautiful! And that mower is a MONSTER!!!
Thanks guys
Great job Al !!
Thank you for having such a kind heart. And good job to Trey for watching over you too. 🌞
Do your thing, AL BLAZES ! You will be blessed !
Stop reading negative comments and stay away from negative people 😊.
You probably just saved a child or two from getting hit by a car or truck!! Thank You Al for taking this on when the City wouldn’t!! Thank You Trey for helping out and having Al’s back!! God Bless You Both❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
So glad you are back we've missed you kindness. You make my heart happy. Thank you for doing good. You are awesome.
The city won't come into the "black neighborhoods" to cut the grasses, but they have no problem collecting the "black neighborhood's taxes!!!!🤔🤔 Blessings to you, Al!😊❤
That neighborhood looks pretty normal. That first house we saw looked nice.
It’s always interesting to see the trees, shrubs and maybe even noxious weeds…so very different from the Pacific NW.
That pick up by the trash truck didn't seem to be on a route. I think the guys stopped because they saw somebody actually doing something to help and were good with it.
@@angelachouinard4581 I think you might be right!
Another example of being black in America. The U.S. treats these people like shit.
Shout Out to TREY!!
Glad you have Al's back. You are a good man.
God bless you Al and all your helpers!! Making the neighborhoods beautiful again!
It absolutely broke my heart to hear the city would not come cut it.
Thanks for all you do.
Bless Lacey's heart for the food & for Trey having your back! Great work Al, you're awesome!
You are one of the nicest men I’ve ever watched on UA-cam. Thanks for helping this neighborhood and the children who walk anywhere on this sidewalk. I hope you’re doing better and we love you and the family and your videos ❤️❤️
Yes, he is extremely nice - too nice! If you truly care about others, you allow them to do for themselves and their loved ones instead of letting things get bad, and then just letting someone else do the hardworking.
Shame on that city! They are to represent everyone!
If the kids can walk to their bus stop an adult can cut the grass in that neighborhood. Thanks for breaking barriers! You show hope for humanity.
Oh brother. And now we all know that you voted for Biden. Why do you on the left never feel it's the responsibility of the homeowners to take care of their yards?
why didnt the neighbors mow it before it got so out of control
@@ronkistner2672 Because thats what city taxes pays the city to do to vacant homes. It's literally their job. You dont see citizens fixing potholes in the street do you. We dont pay taxes for fun.
Not necessarily. Outsiders can be treated very differently than neighborhood residents.
@@2kt2000 you and your attitude are what's wrong with this country. Besides, fixing potholes takes special equipment; bags of cold patch from Lowe's don't cut it. Apples and oranges.
It was so satisfying to see the sidewalk cleared and available for the safety of the neighborhood. When the lady said “in the black areas the city does not come through” it made me sad and mad at the same time !! Now, thanks to your hard work and dedication the kids now have a safe place to ride their bikes. The community looks a lot better and everyone can enjoy walking safely.
Thank you for all the great work you do!!! Blessings !!!
So much safer for the children!! Thank you!
Evidently, the parents of those children did not care enough to do what this guy did.
I'M SURE GOD HAS A SPECIAL PLACE FOR YOU ❤
TRYING TO KEEP THE CHILDREN SAFE, AND MAKING A COMMUNITY BETTER ❤
GOD BLESS YOU AND THE CREW ❤
I am just imagining the surprise on the school kids' faces when they can walk on the sidewalk & not in the street! Great job!
They'll probably walk down that part and not realize it's the overgrown spot till they get by it.
But the adults won’t go there....
One thing about his buddy, he isn't scared of work. He'll sit right there and watch him. LOL That's a good friend to watch over him to make sure he stays safe. There are a lot of people that are grateful for what you do. Keep up the good work and we'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers that God continues to watch over and bless you.
Damn man, EVERYONE respects the work. Who needs the damn city anyway, we need to start following this guy's example and doing what we can ourselves.
They generally collect their share in taxes, great with the fines, just more ways to extort money from people.
There's a guy who got arrested for mowing a playground and the city tried to prosecute him
What a difference you've made Al! Hope you and Trey enjoyed your chicken. Thank you for helping this community, both of you. Much love ❤🇬🇧
Wow, Al. Of all the many great makeovers you have done, this one is special. How much safer have you made this neighborhood. I can't imagine the little kids having to walk in the street and you may have helped turn the neighborhood's prospects around.
7:53 Hey Al, I love your content. I think I'm almost all caught up. Watching this one is amazing. You are God's blessing. Even tho it's not my yard, I want to thank you for all the hard work and your enormous heart❤
What a beautiful transformation! I can just imagine the smiles on the faces of the children when they realized they didn't have to walk on the busy road anymore. It looks like that house beside the sidewalk could use some good lawn care also.
This one was amazing and all of the neighbors seemed so grateful! ❤
Great Job done, Al.
Thanks Lacey for feeding the guys!
In all fairness to all the people blaming the neighbors for not doing this, it's doubtful they have the powerful equipment he has to do the job. Love watching your videos and your caring heart!
If the neighbors had started in on this yard BEFORE it got so bad, mowing it would've been an easy fix. I know--I've done it myself!
And they could take turns OR each take a small area bi-weekly. Got your mower out do a few extra passes.
Thank you, Lacey, for buying them lunch. What goes around comes around :-)
Mr. Bladezzzzzz it’s so great to see you doing what you do so well. Thank you for your commitment to your viewers. We love you and your family.
Absolutely disgusting that the city doesn't cut that grass , no excuses. Thank you for doing a great service to the community Al and Trey
What's even more disgusting is the mindset of that woman blaming them for not coming out because it's a black community. Cities let a-lot of properties go in all parts of the city, unfortunately. A call isn't going to do anything, attend board meeting for your communities, making a presence is how things get done.
So I live in Australia and we have councils who maintain roads, collect garbage. We pay rates for garbage, levies for other things that the council decides in. I live on small acreage and the council expects us to maintain the grass verges but are supposed to come and mow 6 times a year. I go for walks and the grass was taller than me and it was not safe to walk on the road. So I went to the council, then sent an email to my division councillor. No reply so I emailed the local news station and they came out and interviewed me. The day after it was on the tv they came out and mowed. Haven't walked there for 18 months as I had an accident and face planted on the road so have to drive in and walk with a friend. The grass out here is so long again and nothing gets done
@@idriveaxj5670
Waste your time going one of them meetings they look out for themselves and nobody else.
I don't know when people going to get they don't care.
@@judyboast4020 here in the US if there's a lawn on city property in front of your house you mowe it, the city doesn't go around cutting all the lawns between the sidewalks and your house. If the "community" was so disgusted by it why didn't they come up with a solution so the kids could walk freely on the sidewalk, they obviously are just a community of complainers amongst themselves. That's why we have people like AL, no complaining just do it.
City won't spend money they save it for there self
Thank you for cleaning the sidewalks so that people don’t step into the road and get hit! Thank you for making it a safer walkway!😊
Good to see you back, happy and healthy! God bless you for all you do for everyone!
This guy is the “Yard Angel.” Bless you, my friend. We reap what we sow!
He is a good guy, how are you doing today?
What's sad, is that the city won't come out to that area, but the neighborhood looks nice and decent and the only people you met were super nice and friendly. It's the worst case scenario of where a few bad apples spoil the barrel.
Also no trash like some areas.
Very often, it's just an excuse. I was once told some services weren't provided in my neighborhood anymore because it was a so-called bad neighborhood. I've lived here for more than 30 years and felt safe even at night all this time. But there aren't any rich or otherwise influential people living here and there's a lot of social housing.
Awesome transformation Al and you have blessed this community. God Bless You !!!
Al is a local and national icon! A true gentleman with a huge heart and a kind soul.
Hey❤ Good to see you. I know the neighbor going to appreciate this . You made it much easy for the kids and safe . They don’t have to worry about getting hit by a car or anything else. Thank again for helping those that need help. God bless you and keep you safe and out of harm’s way
I’m watching your videos while recovering from 6 week’s radiation treatment and 2 chemo. I’m all done and the pain has just decreased some.

Thank you, Trey for being Al's guardian angel, and Lacey for feeding these gents! WAs that an empty lot or vacant house? Either way, wonderful that you cut it down to size so the community can use the WHOLE walkway and feel safe!
This is more than mowing lawns ... this channel is a blessing. Be well sir🙏🏼
So glad for the community and the children, that you were able to come and help solve this huge problem. The area looks nice and the children will be safer now not being forced to ride bikes or walk alongside of traffic. Wonderful team work guys!
You have such a kind heart Al !! Now the kids can stay on the sidewalk and be safe !! 👍🏼🙏🏼
