Stunning Autumn Yard RESTORED to its former GLORY!!!

Publicado 2024-06-08
I was driving around looking for a neglected yard to transform for free when I came across this property that I used to maintain on a regular basis. I knew the there was an elderly lady living here and her daughter, who is her full-time carer. When I knocked on the door, the owners daughter told me that the garden had pretty much been neglected for over 2 years since I did the last big cleanup. Her brother had been helping out by mowing the lawn every now and then, but the garden and bushes hadn't been touched since then. She also informed me that she had just been in hospital having a back operation and was out of action for a few months. Now, this yard doesn't look that bad, but there was quite a bit of work here, and it was nice to help the family in a time of need. All up, I spent around 10 hours on this job, including 2 trips to the landfill.

Original cleanups done over 2 years ago:
-    • Atrocious Laneway Mess Rescued | Over...  
-    • Crazy Garden Restoration | Old Timers...

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

  • I remember this catastrophe yard George. Amazing job again!
  • I remember that yard and garden. Thank you for helping the family again. I bet they were thrilled to see you come back.
  • Je vidět že majitelé byli velmi spokojeni a tak si tě pozvali znovu. To je dobrá vizitka. Ale tenkrát tam bylo daleko víc práce a to jsi ještě pracoval s asistentem! Opět jsi skvělý! 👍👍🌿Jana 🌿🏆👋🌹
  • I’m an Aussie living in the USA and came across your channel. Love it so much. Love seeing “home” again
  • Hey, George. I am from the USA and I appreciate you telling us the plants. Some are the same as here but many are those we use annuals or houseplants.
  • Помню этот двор. Работы было тогда много! Всегда интересовало, ухаживают ли владельцы сами после Вашей уборки. По этому двору видно, что нет. Как всегда прекрасный результат!
  • 🏎️💨🧹 Beautiful job George! 💪👏🏼☺️🤩
  • Отличная работа Джордж 👍 👍 👍 Я думаю, что для собак нужен на участке туалет, а то по всему участку какашки, не очень то и хорошо, хотя есть примета - дерьмо всегда к деньгам!!!! Джордж ты супер умничка, приятно смотреть на твою работу, всё очень аккуратно и профессионально. До встречи в следующую субботу Елена 🫶 🕊️ 🤗😉🙋

    I remember this place. It was the first vlog of yours that I watched and I subscribed back then too. I bet she was delighted to see you. Hopefully she will recover soon xx

    That's a beautiful garden area in the back. Too bad they aren't able to utilize it.
