  • This garden was so overgrown I had to view it from over the neighbour's fence. i was contacted by the people next door asking if I could help this elderly gentleman. he once loved his garden but has not been able to look after it for years. he is still just able enough to be able to go outside but the garden was completely inaccessible and you couldn't even get out the back door. so my job was to clear it enough for him to be able to go outside and nit be stuck indoors all the time. hope you enjoy. huge shoutout to the guys next door. And to the carers who do an amazing job, and all carers everywhere for what thy do. peace.

    You did such a remarkable job that this older gentleman is going to see that someone who loved gardening as much as he did was involved in the cleaning of his beloved garden. You did a an incredible job. Thank you.

    As an old gardener I can appreciate you clearing space. The owner will remember this the rest of his life. He will be able to sit in his garden or look out his window and watch his plants grow, the bees and the birds visit, and remember when he planted each plant. Thanks for the great work.

      The variety of plants in that garden is astounding and would have been beautiful in its prime. Sad to see, but a necessary one. On the upside, animals will have carried the seeds to other areas around the place, so all isn't lost. Great job clearing the place though, at least they will be able to enjoy it again and stuff will grow back for sure. That soil will be so fertile and rich from all the effort that went into getting the garden he wanted.

      That’s the good part of social media - these yard transformation channels on RUclips pay these creators with advertising dollars, for their time, while they are freed up to help needy families and the elderly/disabled. It’s a wonderful way to give back to the community while creating content for viewers.

    I cannot imagine how much weedeater string you used on this jungle. Whew! Who would have thought there was a greenhouse and well in the backyard. Everything looks so good now. I hope the resident has outdoor table and chairs to sit at and sip coffee in the morning or enjoy lunch/dinner. So peaceful. Shortly as the weather changes, it will have green grass and flowers. ❤😊

    I appreciate your kindness. The neighbors who called you will reap the rewards of not having to look at this overgrown property. Here's hoping the elder who lives there can and will be able to go outside in the warm months ahead. What a shame it would have been for him to live his last days unable to get outside. It is incredible how you, one man, transformed this property. May the powers that be look down on you and bless you for this good deed.

    What a WONDERFUL JOB you have done for this gentleman!! I was a care giver for 20+ years and know what some of these elderly people went through as to being unable to do simple things anymore. On my days off my husband and I would go to their homes and mow lawns, fix simple things around their home for free. They would thank us endlessly. So keep up your GREAT WORK at helping these elderly people, I know they appreciate it. We are now in our 70's and Praise God we can still do our own lawn and things around our home. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! God Bless You ! Love From The USA♥

    I love to watch the restoration of antique furniture and the care taken to preserve the original character of the furniture.
    You have done yourself proud by restoring this garden to its original glory.
    You can clearly see that when the owners were young and able a lot of love and work was put into it.
    It brings a tear to my eye when I remember the love and attention that my late father in law put into his garden and house. An age gone by.
    It makes me emotional and brings to mind the song "Yesterday " written by Paul McCartney of the Beatles.
    I hope the elderly gentleman gets to sit once more in his garden to enjoy a bit of fresh air and natural beauty around him.
    Thank you for making that possibility a reality.

    New subscriber here and this is the first video of yours that I’ve seen and it sure won’t be the last. Not only did you do a phenomenal job but I love that you helped this elderly gentleman. I’m sure that it has meant the absolute world to him to see his garden restored to the point that he can now get out there and enjoy it once again. There are so many people that need help and it breaks my heart that a lot of them don’t get it, thank you so much for doing what you do 🙏

    After a lot of hard work, you made a huge improvement to this yard. Very accessible and pleasant. Maybe a family member or friend can come along and keep it up.
