Have I got a good one for you today. Now, I don't normally see that many critters on my jobs, the noise usually scares them away, but this one is a bit of an exception. The homeowner was chuffed when I knocked on his door and offered to do a free makeover. When he showed me the backyard, he said - I bet you'll regret taking this on. If only he'd seen some of the jobs that I've done, hahaha! He actually inherited this place from his mother and, as you can see, would prefer to be doing something else, besides gardening. Anyway, this is a good episode, I'm sure it will be a satisfying watch. All up, I spent around 16 hours on this job, with 2 trips to the landfill included.

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 Australi

    I don’t know maybe this is what’s normal where you come from but I am from the United States and you either have a lawn care person that will mow your lawn and pay extra to have bushes trimmed or you find somebody that’s willing to do our jobs to clean up, stack wood, stack bricks, pull out cleanup and then put everything back much neater. Every little different thing you do beyond what they call is normal you get up charged over and over. I’ve had a lot of landscapers I’ve had to pay a lot of extra money to have bushes trimmed in my well I’m 68 so I’ve had landscaper since I was about 23 after my husband was killed in an Air Force plane crash. You did a great job and I applaud you. Thanks for being nice to natures animals/reptiles. ❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

  • Hi George! You did a wonderful job on this yard, it looks great! You deserve a gold star for interacting with that blue tongued lizard. It didn’t seem worried at all about being handled and moved. You’re a good guy George.❤
  • @user-be5xr9zc6p
    If I did this much work.. i wouldn’t live to see the next day.. this is such hard work for any age.. i watch all three of these same programs.. you’re the only one who works meticulously out of the whole garden team of Youtube .. you can retire early for your reward.. how about that..animals & birds are nice in this video.. take care of yourself George.. too much dust .. mask up.. not good for the lungs
  • @rosaochoa9539
    It shouldn't be easy, but you're moving forward. You always work vehemently😊.
  • Hello George! I always admire your work and especially how precise you are. Not every gardener has it. For example, rearranging the bricks or comparing the logs under the shelter. Others would let it go and not deal with it. You are unique in that!!! This transformation was also amazing, including the zoological pacifier, although I wouldn't want him in the garden :-))) Take care and have a nice weekend!!!💯👍👍👍🌿
