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 to be 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

  • George, this has been my favorite series. You provided comedy, took us with you to the recycling center, took us shopping, invited us to see a glimpse of your home, acknowledged the orange cat, the magpie and council workers, and best of all, helped the homeowner reclaim her out of control yard and driveway. Another fantastic job! You are a true blessing to the community.
  • By helping clean the yard, you are helping the owner to tidy up her own life. I feel like she was stuck as the result of her son's problems. It's now like getting a new haircut and some new clothes. Thank you for your care towards this woman's yard. I feel she needed it. ❤😁👍🇦🇺
  • When this homeowner counts her blessings, she counts you you twice George. Great job. 😊
  • @SoulsJourney
    What you have done for this lady is beyond heroic. Just hauling away all the garbage and old furniture was an enormous help. I'm sure she was overwhelmed trying to figure out what to do with it all, nevermind the actual yardwork. She clearly doesn't have a lot of money to pay anyone and it can add up quickly. You have such a good heart to help people out like this. It looks so pretty now!
  • George you are so kind making a fence, and giving the lady the weed killer, i cant express how proud of you i am with every show you do. You are the best by far. Sandra. X
  • @joannloos17
    Finally, No 10 ft bramble patches. You are winning the fight with this yard. I’m sure the owner is over the moon!
  • @beknic8872
    90 hours! That’s insane! No doubt this woman couldn’t tackle this big of a job, let alone afford to pay. Truly life changing and I hope she enjoys her required adoration for her gardens again 🥰 Well done George 👏🏻
  • @carolemg
    Sometimes, when your life is difficult, you just need a bit of help and feel loved to be motivated back again ☺
  • @Ninja0814
    You work on these properties as though you are the homeowner. Nothing is left undone. Great job.
  • @miriam2909
    There’s no better feeling than to get the crap out of your life and get it in order 😊
  • @eveb446
    Thank you George for doing so much to help this family out. Great to hear that the lady will start taking care of the weeds, with the spray bottle and the spray you gave her. God bless you, George.
  • @genwhite1175
    This made me feel very emotional - in a good way. I don't think there would be very many people who would do so much hard work for someone they barely know, and for free! As you cleared away the junk and cut down the straggly trees I felt so happy. It feels like more light and air can come in and the place can breathe a sigh of relief. It's already looking so much nicer. OMG I almost had tears in my eyes. OK, I actually did. You are an outstanding human being and God knows we sure need people like you!! I liked seeing the magpie and the mynah - we have those too in NZ. I love the sound of magpies so much! I hope the lady can get some new net curtains for her windows, it would make the world of difference. They are pretty cheap at chain stores or even op-shops. I bet she hasn't had so much care and kindness from a decent man in a long, long time. I can't thank you enough.
  • In Deutschland sagen wir zu so besonderen Menschen wie dich: Du bist ein Mensch, mit dem Herzen am richtigen Fleck! Viele Grüße aus Deutschland. 🥸
  • Thank you for working so hard to help this family. You have literally lifted alot of weight from their shoulders. Dealing with mental illness can be very isolating and overwhelming. I am sure your efforts really made a difference. I hope more positive things will happen for this family. Please take care George.
  • @Lovenature255
    It looks like she had a beautiful garden at one time. Now she can enjoy it again ❤️
  • You always go above and beyond, George! It’s such a joy to watch you restore order and fix things. Thank you for helping this family and for sharing the journey with us. Hope you have a wonderful week! 🍀🌞🙏
  • @jodidavis6595
    I can only imagine the pride , joy and self esteem you have brought to this woman and her home. You’re one awesome man George. God bless you and all that you do to help others. 🇺🇸❤️
  • Mornin' George! You not only transform yards, you transform people, and see the potential in all! You have forever changed this family's life! God Bless you!💚🌿🌱☘️
  • I love how you tell us what everything is, even the birds.❤ Great work 🎉
