She said that this would be an IMPOSSIBLE Clean Up!

Impossible yard clean up, you say - well if I can lift it I can fix it! This one was actually recommended by Dave (Jim's Mowing Glenorchy), so thanks for that mate if you're watching. This property is actually his cousin's house, and she definitely needs some help with things. The owner is a single mother and, between work and the kids, finds it hard to maintain the property. She does mow the lawn to keep it down, but the remainder requires some serious work. I will only be doing the front of this property. All up, I spent around 11.5 hours on this clean up and went to the landfill 2 times.

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.

Q: What happened to Nick?
A: Nick was offered a full-time position at his other job as a Political admin.

Q: What happened to Brent?
A: Brent quit at the start of August 2022.

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 are you cutting so close to your employee?
A: I'm not cutting too close to my workers, they are standing too close to where I am working! All of my workers have been told numerous times about standing too close to the tools and about the hazards involved!

Q: Why do your workers do all the lifting and carrying?
A: Basically, they are employed to carry things and I pay them well, to do the job required.

Q: You work so well together, how do you do it?
A: That's the magic of editing. My workers are basically given instructions on what to do, I just edit it all out, so the videos look seamless!

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 happened to your workers?
A: Because the work is so hard and I expect high standards, most have quit over time. The only exception so far is Nick.

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 Australia.

Q: Why do you have 2 channels that seem the same.
A: Quick Cuts (my orginal channel) has music in the background. Quick Cuta V2 is for those that like just machine noise and dosent have musi

    My organizer's heart cheered when you tackled the wood pile 👌 I think often people get demotivated to clean up their yards because they don't have the proper tools. But that wood pile just took some time and effort and made a huge impact on how neat and functional the space looks now. Great job!
  • @nshively
    Kindness does not require a certification. Nor does excellence and hard work. You are a legend at what you do. Never forget that.
  • @faithm9284
    People really asked if you were qualified!? I dont see them pitching in! You have a good heart, a good back and that works for most of us who are grateful! Thank you 'Community Hero'!

    Hello George, Jeff here from North Carolina, USA. I like your channel so much better without a helper. I watch several guys with yard maintenance which all are great and I honestly do not have a 1 favorite but you stand out to me because of your constant perfection in every job. I remember years ago you commented on doing a little at a time instead of everything at once and I realized you were able to show more instant gratification, taking smaller steps. I have noticed more guys spinning off your idea. You also stand out in perfection triming trees, shrubs, plants, flowers while educating your audience which tells me you are well trained and educated in gardening. KUDOS TO YOU.
  • I heated my home with firewood for 25 years. You taking the time to clean and stack the wood will mean so much to her. Let alone the beautiful work you always do. I wish I had someone like you where I live.
  • He was cleaning a jungle,lots of hard work for one person . My hat off to him.❤❤❤❤
  • @Gretchen-vh9xt
    What I love is how you really clean up a property. You are the best lawn care channel to me because you address all issues of the property from trash pickup to tree trimming and removing all the green waste. Great job.
  • @JH-uv3qx
    He didn't only do the mowing job. He also reorganised the wood pile, move the old objects, cleaned the yard and pressure washed. Amazing job.
  • @gail8494
    Awesome job, George! You went above and beyond by re-stacking that wood!
  • I don't care how you package it, music, mower sounds or people talking, you always do a great job! You are a fine editor and videographer, too. That property was a mess. Now looks like a home!
  • @PLS.54
    The pride you take in your work, is stellar! Your extra mile traveled, is an honor to your dedication to make a difference in people’s lives. Beautiful job.
  • @bettymynatt7339
    I am so happy you found this lady to help. The yard was a disaster but you did an amazing job. I hope she appreciates what you did. Tackling that wood pile was above and beyond the call. Thanks for helping her. God Bless you ❤❤❤❤❤
  • @ellierennes9043
    University of Life George. You got your PhD - great work as always 😊 I love the methodical way you go about things
  • @dogwhiskers8
    Whoever gets your garden services is privileged. You do such detailed work. Very considerate.
  • @melissaroyle4967
    So happy you got the power washer out. To go through all that hard work and leave that path wouldn't have been as satisfying. Great job George.
  • @nancyadams2309
    Ok, George, there is no one on earth that cleans, cuts, organizes or restores better than you. I knew the yard would drastically be improved, but when I saw that woodpile, I started laughing. I absolutely knew you wouldn’t let that pass. And we were all rewarded by the stacked and organized wood pile…..and dispersed sand pile. Thank you for helping that little family. You and your wonder mower are the best! To be a little sarcastic, taking an other hour, you could have rebuilt the wall, painted the house and built a new deck and stairs. Bless you!
  • @user-fz6vs4de9m
    From San Diego, California, Don't worry about formal qualifications. You have them. Unlike many others today, you are not afraid to get your hands dirty, mess up your hair or sweat. Enough said. You go mate!
  • @bettyallred8883
    You go far beyond normal yard care. Your work is excellent. Thank you for helping those on need. May God richly bless you.
  • @jerryschramm4399
    What a great job. Especially the care you took with stacking and re-stacking that wood pile to make sure there was enough room to park the car under the covering. You made the yard look much better, and helped out someone in need. Your attention to detail and the extras, where you name the plants and trees is always a very welcome addition. You are a good man, and one of the top three lawn care channels on YouTube.
