After all the years we have lived here and my husband helping neighbors with many yard work related jobs, NOT ONE offered me any help. I finally found someone to do it, but he didn’t do it near as nice as Al does these. Most times it looked pretty bad. I just found someone that knew my husband and he said he would do it for the rest of the season for FREE. He just started yesterday, and it is beautiful! I am very happy !

      its obviously been that way for many months. I made the mistake once of helping a neighbor when he has an emergency. I mowed his lawn the next week, then the week after. waited 3 MORE weeks and no one came. then on the 5th week I mowed it again and nothing. It ended up looking fairly like this guys did until the city came and fined him then ended up after a year or so took his property as abandoned. Literally mowed his lawn 5 times altogether and for what? He ended up having it taken anyway. I dont think he ever even planned on coming back. I just merely delayed the action a few months.
      With that said though every situation is different. Some ppl will be very grateful you mowed it, some maybe not. Its still a nice act and in this videos case the act is more for the neighbors than the owner.

It was not an easy mow as the yard was in rough shape and i had a small push mower. I also painted her house one year. I got to know her well and she became a surrogate grandmother.

They didn’t have to but they did it for her because they knew she couldn’t do it herself. That’s what good people do for their neighbors. ✅

      Good for all of them! I became widowed with an infant and the only person who helped me was the 85 year old lady next door who became my dearest friend. But she would try to mow and shovel my driveway. I would have to throw my body in front of her to stop her. There were young family men all over our neighborhood, as well as people with teens. I take care of myself and I didn't expect anything out of anyone, but it's pretty sad that nobody even offered. And now, 20 years later, my dear friend is gone, and the men still go by and wave when I'm out there struggling with something.

    My grandfather retired from farming when he was 80 and they lived in the suburbs. His next door neighbor was older as well - he took care of his yard but couldn't operate an edger. So one would mow both yards and the other edged both yards. It allowed both of them to maintain their dignity and pride in their own homes, as well as be neighborly. The neighbors directly behind my grandparents had a fairly steep rear driveway to the alley, where the trash was picked up each week. They had the large covered trash cans and could roll it down to the alley but weren't strong enough to pull it back up to the garage. I found out later that my grandfather helped them with that each week. It wasn't a nuisance and it helped another older neighbor live in their own home and maintain their independence for that much longer. He lived to be 91 and I'll always be encouraged by those acts of thoughtfulness. Everything doesn't have to be a big deal. 5 or 10 minutes here or there can make a HUGE difference in the quality of someone's life by removing a worry from them. Plus, it's another way of checking in and finding out quickly if there is a health crisis that requires greater assistance.

I wish there were people like you in this aera. All we have here is 'gas blowers' , and that is all they do, they call themselves gardener. God bless you and be safe.

      I know this is the unpopular opinion, but it isn’t the neighbors responsibility, no matter the situation, to maintain his neighbors lawn. That’s a shitty out look on things, and that neighbor should expect the same in return if something happens to him, but he doesn’t have to help.

      If you have ever interacted with anyone offering any sort of "service" for such a large job, it's very important to be absolutely CLEAR as to the terms and conditions before hand. The neighbour did the right thing. It prevents the situation of someone coming back and knocking on his door afterwards asking for a payment. Not everyone is as nice as the person in the video.

    It took me all of 2 seconds to understand that this was the rt thing to do. And I loved it. 54 now, mowed the lawn hundreds of times and cutting hers is the ones I will always remember.
