Welcome back folks, I hope that you are all having a great morning, day, or evening wherever you are in the world. I was down at my local hardware store purchasing some lawn care equipment when I bumped into an old friend. We got into a bit of a conversation and eventually, we got around to youtube and garden transformations. My mate said that his mum's place really needed some work and I should go around a and have a look and see if I could help. This job is outside of my normal work area, but I was willing to travel for an old friend. The plan was simple - remove all the bushes and trees to allow more light and heat into the house. As you will see, the side garden area of this house has been neglected for many years. The pittosporum along the fence were originally planted as a screening hedge, but they have grown into considerable trees and all they do now is block light. All up, I spent around 12 hours on this job, including 5 trips to the landfill.

FAQ's:

Q: Where are you located?
A: I am from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 🦘.

Q: Do you worry about snakes?
A: I have never even seen a snake in over 5 years on the job.

Q: Which equipment do you use?
A: Mostly STIHL power equipment (battery and petrol) and commercial Honda self-propelled mowers.

Q: How much do the jobs cost?
A: Sorry, I prefer not to talk about costs. But most of my recent jobs have been done for free.

Q: Why don't you use tarps instead of bins?
A: Tarps are too difficult to move through small spaces and lift into the trailer. The same for wheelbarrows, they are only good for unloading the trailer!

Q: Why are the hot water cylinders outside?
A: I would say it's because Australia had a temperate to tropical climate, and therefore it doesn't matter that much if they are outdoors. To me, though, it seems a bit inefficient to have them outside in Tasmania with a temperate climate (coldish for 3 - 4 months per year). But that is industry standard down here 🤷‍♂️

Q: Why don't you have help?
A: I've had many problems with employees in the past, so now I work alone.

Q: Why don't you have a ride-on mower?
A: Well, there are a few reasons.
1. I don't have the right trailer for a ride on, considering I always take away the green waste.
2. I don't have anywhere to store it, as my shed is too small.
3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can't actually get a ride-on on to the properties.
4. I don't do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k AUD on a stander, but it would be nice to have one!
5. I will get one as soon as my transport and storage problems are solved.

Q: What types of ladders do you use?
A: The large one is a Gorilla Adjustable Platform 150kg and the small one is a Gorilla Mighty 19. They are both adjustable.

Q: Who/what is Jim's Mowing?
A: Jim's Mowing is a franchise business. The Jim's Group is the biggest home services franchise in Australi

    Kitchen may be a bit hot in summer but the light the rest of the time will be wonderful, especially in the morning

    A clean slate to replant or leave as is. I love options. Amazing, as always! Thanks George😊❤
  • @janababuljakova2534
    It looked more like a house in the woods :-) Now you can finally breathe freely there and more light shines into the house. A friend and his mother can be satisfied !!! 👍👍👍Jana

    Looks amazing, George! If I were this homeowner, I would leave the alleyway open and free of trees or shrubs. Great job, George.
  • @jeanmariemclain2836
    Beautiful. Now they can replant with different varieties and a mix of heights and densities. She can enjoy her yard again. Thank you.

    That was a lot of work but it's a shame some of that greenery could have been kept just reduced. It’s such an industrial, brick heavy area that the greenery, although out of control, still gave it depth and elevated the property value.
