Kindness goes a long way. Thank you 😊 💓

That's what I was thinking.

Back when I could walk, I took my dog around the block. When I saw a house looking like this I thought the neighbors just didn’t know how to keep it organized and picked up. I used to scour the area next to the street pick up papers sticks. I didn’t go full blown and redo their yard. I wouldn’t have thought of that I would have thought that I would get in some sort of trouble for trespassing. Did anyone else have the same concern. Backspace?

It's not anyone's fault really. I'm a 72 year old widow with health problems... asthma with serious acerbations. That means frequent asthmatic bronchitis. I am not able to mow, especially in heat above 100° and Texas humidity that's been in the 98% range. My yard hasn't been mowed in a year and some of the weeds are more like trees at 7'. I've been waiting on my son to come mow, but with 4 young boys, a full time job with 12 hour days, and his own yard and house to take care of, he just doesn't have a lot of time. It's not his fault. It's just the way things are sometimes. People have their own lives, family, and homes to maintain and sometimes they just run out of time and forget to look around. My yard will get done at some point, but his time with his kids is more important than some grass. I'm glad there are people like Steve, Kevin (Juggernaut Lawn Care), Kevin's Dad (Cabin on the Hill), Spencer (SB Mowing and SB Power Washing), Brian (Top Notch Lawn Care), Al (Bladez Lawn Care), and AP (Clean the City). These are just some of the great guys out there and they are greatly appreciated! As Kevin says, he just goes where the Lord sends him! Thanks again to Steve and all the guys for the great and selfless work they do!

@@dragonmaster4429 Back when I could walk, I had two lawn mowers. I had one running and one in for upkeep. As time went on , I hired a small local company and they charged $35/week. They continue to do the work weekly. My neighbors have never offered to help in any way, not even when I asked to hire their kids. I have thought to ask the neighborhood women to help and also to post a sign on my front door. At one point I called local churches. I remember once perching my toddler on a blanket on the front yard and pushed my gas powered mower around. One neighbor asked if I needed someone to babysit. I answered no that I needed a man to mow. No one helped. Dragon Master I hope one of the fine men you named will help you.

This looks to be Australia. House value and human value is not measured by the grass in your yard. Grass can be cut in an afternoon. A person grows over a lifetime.

You are so correct Ms Lutz. I have a nasty autoimmune system disorder that is triggered by sulfur. I live in the Pacific Northwest where wildfires have become normal each summer and they give off huge amounts of sulfur. Long story short I become a hermit for 4-months living on stored food and filtered air. As such the yard looks great early spring and late fall but in-between no so nice.

@Warren Peterson I’m sorry you have to live with this and pray that someone reaches out to you when you go through those rough episodes.

You are 100%!! I can’t get pass my aversion to trash. 🥺 Anything but trash….

You never know. There are so many things ppl go through, and reasons that could result in their property going into decline ...including sheer laziness.

@@warrenpeterson6065 l am eighty years old and hope if l can’t do my lawn anymore my son will be there for me.

You are a God send sir!!

I agree…would love a coffee too lol…..

Really looks so much better! Can understand why you made the owner and neighbor happy on this one! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Very thoughtful, very commendable.

Yes, a crisp edge makes all the difference.

I am sure the cats like a bit of wilderness better 😄

Having a right doesn't mean you have to do it.

Husband helped a neighbor out a few times with their yard (free) when it started getting tall again that neighbor came over telling my husband his yard needing mowing again. My husband was stunned yet mowed one more time and told neighbor that was last time. This person was NOT elderly or disabled!

@@scarter8137 Time for that guy to sell and get an apartment.

Perhaps the neighbor got tired of doing it for them and begging the trashy lawn neighbor to take care of his own yard!

Unfortunately today people are limited to only their needs and daily life. Never thinking of their neighbors. I bet the person next door had no idea his neighbors names. That’s a big part of what’s wrong with society today. Selfishness. Awesome job, Gods blessings to you.

Exactly!!!

Oh come on, that's years of neglect. Did you see the junk laying around the section. These people had no intention of finding a way to rectify this eyesore. Sorry. The neighbour has absolutely no responsibility to right the wrong of this despicable sight.

That's not very fair of you to expect that from someone when it's not their responsibility

Very nice job. Now if only the neighbors would pitch in and help keep it up for who ever lives there.....😊

Props to you

I need to go do mine. I am not sure exactly how to use the weed eater to do it, but I need to just go out and muddle through.

@@triciac1019 I used a manual edger and then once it was cut I rolled it like carpet. Like sod. Good luck

@@triciac1019 Quite a few videos on her showing how to do it.

@@deebrown3708 thank you for your advice!

After a windy day where I am located a surprising amount of trash can end up collected in the bushes and other spots. And I could see where it would built up if you left it, like in spring with the snow melts there is always trash. Shopping carts not so much.

Indeed many reasons grass can get out of hand. One of those many reasons is laziness.

Lazyness is not a cause, it's a symptom. Here; have some compassion.

@@88marome Believe it or not ...some people are actually just lazy. Again, there are indeed MANY reasons that are the cause of neglect ...that list does not exclude sheer laziness. Stating facts is not a sign of lacking compassion. Laziness can and does exist all on its own without being a symptom of a greater problem.

​@@susansmith493 we have been in a pandemic for a few years now. The homeowner may have long haulers/long covid. They may not physically have been able to do the yard. They may be going through chemo. They may ne spending 24/7 taking care of a loved one. My grown daughter was in a horrible rollover car accident about 8 years ago. We had a hospital bed in my livingroom. I was her main caregiver. I had no time or energy to do my vegetable garden at all that year. She would wake up in terrible pain day and night, and neither one of us slept much. You don't know their circumstances. It is not nice to judge.

Somebody has to clean it. Why not U❓Everyone should help.🙏🏾

@@camillewarren3615 where are you Camille? Why didn't you help?

Thank you, and yes she did, video of the backyard is out soon. Must watch transformation!

Thank you

Thank you

@@mowingwithsteve Wow!! I just watched the incredible job you did in the second video!! All I can say is "Wow"!!! Now I am waiting with anticipation for number three!!! Please tell me there will be another lol :)

@@mowingwithsteve I watched both parts and you certainly are a blessing to these people. If she has children or grandchildren they can now play in the yard. I especially love to see you remove junk and trash. I hope you will continue to find yards with junk. Just wondering if you are in Australia or Michigan or where?
