Well, we have finally moved back into the front yard, and we are on the home straight. Those of you that have been following along will know this property by now because I've already done 8 episodes here. This has been a massive cleanup and the biggest I have ever done. And when I say this yard is crazy, I mean CRAZY! It was full of blackberries, rubbish, old trees and what was left of the garden beds. To get this property back up to standard has taken a lot of hard work and effort. I've done the best job I can on this yard, as the homeowner really needed the help. Sit back and enjoy another episode on the biggest cleanup I've ever done! All up, I spent around 13.5 hours on this episode, including 3 trips to the landfill. This is episode 9 of maybe 11, could be 12.

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: 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 Australia.

Q: Why do you have 2 channels that seem the same?
A: Quick Cuts (my original channel) has music in the background. Quick Cuts V2 is for those that like just machine noise, and it doesn't have musi

    We aren't watching this video. We are experiencing this with you and the lady. This is what one man can do to better another persons life through a LOT of hard and dedicated WORK. Some come close but noone does a transformation like you George. This is a monumental task on your part. I hope you are very proud of this achievement so far. Thank you.
  • @anneh3705
    Your attention to detail and willingness to do it is incredible. No “bare minimum” mantra for you.
  • @kazzy1056
    Oh George… we’re all behind you in spirit 😅 I look at the start of your videos ( especially big ones like this) and think “where the hell does he start” Keep doing what you do, I know it’s been said many times but you’re an inspiration. 😊😊
  • @suedoe4543
    This is truly a marathon cleanup, there will be nothing left on this property that you haven't touched when you are finished. You, George, are an inspiration not only to me, but to many around the globe. I'm cheering you on from afar. 🥰❤
  • You gave this woman hope and probably her life back. Thank you George.
  • @janeblack7880
    as much as one can love some complete stranger on the other side of the world, I do for what you have done for this lady.
  • @SFHCommish_1
    It’s not just the great work that I really like watching you do especially since I’m here in the states and we have a completely different look to our lawns and flora, but I really enjoy you putting descriptions, which is what as far as the trees, bushes and plants are concerned.😃
  • George, I watch all your videos while listening to audiobooks in the evenings. Thank you for the visual engagement with your beautiful way of working. I love how you work on sections at a time, it is teaching me a few things 😊
  • You treated that yard as if it were your own. Fantastic job!
  • George, you are a good man. You have done above and beyond what most people would do. Thanks for not leaving this lady high and dry. Nine visits you have done on this one property and still you don't stop. Thanks for doing such a great job. God will Bless you and you have added another Star in your crown. ❤❤❤❤❤
  • Hi George!! You have really made a HUGE difference in this yard!! It’s looking SO much better!!
  • @M.Rutherford
    Hallo George, es ist wirklich bewundernswert, dass du nicht nur die Gärten wieder schön herrichtest, sondern, dass du auch noch den ganzen Müll entsorgt. Schön, dass es dich gibt . 😊
  • @jonbishop1385
    George, You are a Machine ! Most people would take one look at a property like that and move on, look for something less stressful ,Not You Nothing is too difficult for You, Your videos are an absolute Joy to watch, Thank You for sharing Caring and Inspiring
  • @BibiFromSpain
    It looks so much better. Very kind of you darling, offering her your future help if needed. That poor woman is probably exausted only of taking care of her disabled boy.
  • @meghaffer
    You've really brought this property back to life. I'm glad that the owner is inspired to get back to doing some of it herself. I'm sure it was too overwhelming before you got your hands on it and made it manageable again
  • I'm so happy the lady if the house has a renewed interest in her garden. It would be lovely to see how this garden comes along if she calls you in the future, even if we only get to see a couple of pictures as to how it's progressing. Thank you for bringing us along on this epic restoration. It's been a pleasure to watch it week by week.
  • I am glad to hear the lady of the house is feeling more like getting out into her yard. I think that being out and in the dirt will make her feel so much better. Great job!
  • It’s kind to have given her some spray and offering help if she needs later on. There are so many beautiful trees in your area, and getting those succulents cleaned up made a huge difference. So glad you get stuck in! 👍
