👏👏👏👏 a true community effort.

You guys are awesome!!

Your Amazing.

Aww! That was awesome. Great community spirit from the firefighters. ❤👍🔥🇺🇲

That's awesome! ❤😊

I call BS on the city worker part, sounds like they where just being lazy not wanting to really work. I see that side walk as dangerest for adults and kids. Thank you Sir for taking on that job when the city would not.

Every commenter is correct. The city is just making a BS excuse not to do it. That is a clear-cut dereliction of duty and everyone from the top-down need to be disciplined appropriately. A police escort will always be provided to ensure the safety of the city employees. Props to Trey for having Al's back and thanks to the locals for being so kind!

This is true. I purchased a property in this type of neighborhood once ( l didnt last long there… but that’s a whole other story) Anyway, I heard a story of local utility workers having cops actually standby & watch while they did work in the area. It is pretty pitiful that some ignorant people that like causing trouble would even make that a necessity but it shouldn’t be used a reason to stop workers from coming in to make an area safe and habitable for the other folks forced to live in those types of areas

If the city fears for the safety of its workers in that area, you need to ask why? I imagine there have been incidents of violence that lead to this. Behave better people and you won't receive this kind of reaction. Al is brave, but even he needed a "bodyguard ".

The city workers scared...not that I remember. Sounds like bs, and if they would cut it every month it wont be an issue

The city is a private industry which serves private interests. It's chasing profits, which is how we want it.

@@jedahn Don’t be ridiculous. Sovcit mumbo jumbo bs. Cities are not profitable.

Exactly

It's the leadership, elected officials. They don't care about the community. Career politicians only care about getting reelected.

Oh brother. And now we all know that you voted for Biden. Why do you on the left never feel it's the responsibility of the homeowners to take care of their yards?

why didnt the neighbors mow it before it got so out of control

@@ronkistner2672 Because thats what city taxes pays the city to do to vacant homes. It's literally their job. You dont see citizens fixing potholes in the street do you. We dont pay taxes for fun.

Not necessarily. Outsiders can be treated very differently than neighborhood residents.

@@2kt2000 you and your attitude are what's wrong with this country. Besides, fixing potholes takes special equipment; bags of cold patch from Lowe's don't cut it. Apples and oranges.

Amen to that !

Props to Lacey❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Yes...Thanks Lacey! That was super nice!😊

Black eyed peas and collard greens with ham hocks. Sure tasted good!

Totally awesome! So much safer for every one! Glad Tre was looking out for you. Night and day!

Oh 😢I really love your sweet comment 🙏💞

🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

I would stop paying tax.

Isn’t it funny how often that happens? We pay all these taxes and we don’t get equal return for them.

They ought to call it “AT’s Corner” for AL and Trey!

Absolutely

I think it's better if he has NO affiliation with ANY govt. entity. Watch this: Where's your liability, workers comp., bond. We need a full employment app., but we don't take part timers, (&some don't take independents so they don't po the unions) here's the fifteen pages of regulations, & what insurance plan, witholding....never ending bs. We got a complaint about the noise from gas operated equipment, you will have to use electric. However if he's ever paid, he might get whacked by AB5. BLESS YOU SIR.

He is a good guy, how are you doing today?

Yes not only that blessing other neighborhoods can help him expand this channel even more, good job AL & Trey 👍

He does!❤

Beautiful! Just beautiful! And that mower is a MONSTER!!!

Thanks guys

Great job Al !!

So nice he is helping the kids stay safe. Kudos to Al.

Great job, AL. Now, the neighborhood is a lot safer. I thought everyone seemed thankful and grateful. With a few colorful characters there. 😊😊😊

Yes, you’re right 👍

Wow. I don't think I've ever seen grass this high around a sidewalk before. Glad you had someone watching your back, Al.

Tax dollars not being allocated properly....just because someone was too lazy to go back to the shop to get a brush cutter

Bad neighborhoods are basically neighborhoods with a lot of desperate people. Not even doing the basic maintenance only makes that worse.

No he didn’t. He just fixed the sidewalk and by the street…

@@robineast6446 "No he didn’t. He just fixed the sidewalk and by the street…" And the main problem was the children not being able to use the sidewalk to go catch the school bus and needing to walk along the side of the street, and just a general nuisance for everyone else who lived there and needed to use the sidewalk. So, yes, he did fix the problem. Now the children can safely use the sidewalk and it will be a lot easier for everybody else as well.

They didn't hate it looking like a mess, if so, they would have gotten together and cleaned it up!

@@oldtimefarmboy617 Al cannot come and take care of it all the time. He solved the problem for some time. Soon it will grow back, and they will have the same problem.

@@katarinas3361 "@oldtimefarmboy617 Al cannot come and take care of it all the time. He solved the problem for some time. Soon it will grow back, and they will have the same problem." Sometimes problems get out of hand before people realize that it is a problem and it becomes more than they can handle. Now that they know the problem the overgrowth can cause, since they obviously take care of their own lawns, they can do a little extra and one or more of them can make certain that area along the sidewalk does not get that way again. The solution to most problems requires knowing what the problem is in the first place. Now they know and they can easily prevent the problem from occurring again.

If I lived next to that property, or near that property, I would have uncovered at least that sidewalk a long time ago, before it became too big a job for anyone to want to do. There is so much "not my job" energy here -- that is how this situation happened. Owner absent and neglectful, not a priority for the city, neighbors stand around and complain but don't take a mower or trimmer into their own hand, even though they can take care of their own yard. Sheesh.

@@MyFiddlePlayerfacts, people use “not my problem” like it truly benefits them in anyway other than not having to actually physically do something about it. The worst part is that they say “I’ll be wasting time that I could be using to do other things” but then proceed to sit in their house on tiktok for hours.

The city couldn't do it because they would have to send six men, and there was no place to park the six city trucks.

​@@MyFiddlePlayermy sentiments exactly

The township isn't the one's committing violent crimes and robbing Sanford.

@@MLFortes426 oh yeah blame the establishment, the white man, blah blah blah. It couldn't possibly be bad chooses, unfounded victimhood, no interest in education, fast money with little effort mentality and voluntary segregation could it? The only "they" is the one looking back at you in the mirror.

And what did they learn? To always depend on others to take care of their own responsibility. And no, Jesus was NOT a liberal!

@@riverduck3using Jesus for your political agenda is nasty work. I’m not even religious and I know that’s sinister

@@tyreek.6815, "sinister"? The very values on which this country was founded are values from God and His Son.

Do you know what the name for Trey's channel is? I want to watch his pressure washing videos but Al Bladez doesn't mention any channel or even directions as where we can watch Trey's content....

@@aye3678 Didn't realize he was another UKposts'r.

I'm here guys.. I've been busy and have quite a few videos coming soon

@@TreyseverythingadventuresDamn bruh, you had me fooled for a second 🤣

@@TreyseverythingadventuresI subbed, I’m #99. 🙂

The homeowner neglected the yard for years, and the result was the grass grew over the sidewalk. This isn't the failure of the city, it's the failure of individuals taking personal responsibility for their own property like adults.

Why don't homeowners take responsibility for their own yards?

@@riverduck3money is tight

I agree. Shady government and bank collusion.

It doesn't look like a neighborhood that makes a lot of political donations

@@riverduck3 money is tight

Sadly, I (due to paranoia) wonder if the city hopes if an area is left alone long enough that someone like Al will do it for free. 😢

Who knows maybe if they impose fines and if property taxes go unpaid as well they can legally place a lien foreclosure on property & sale it 🤷🏼‍♀️ City/County profits.

​@@scarter8137 that's what they want.

Yes then they call cops racist for doing their job. They can’t win either way. People forget about blm. Wasn’t long ago.

Just trash acting like trash.

I wonder if they will, even that lady at the end said she still wasn't going to walk over there. lol

Why not call the City and demand cleanup?

@gordbaker896 di you not watch the video...literally says in the video they called the city and had a whole fight on fb about who's job it is to clean it....this guy fixed the cities issues in 45mins so thank him and don't ask questions if you don't even watch the video like they clearly called the city bro

Typical government mentality response in this case: "It's not my job."

Typical neighborhood mentality also! If I lived next to or across the street from this I would’ve cleaned it up! I take pride in my community and myself!

​@@jimw1615if lazy people like you cleaned up your neighborhoods, you wouldn't cry so much.

😊

​@@Treyseverythingadventures you and AL make a great team!

Me, too. I would never have guessed when I first started to watch this highly energetic man mowing lawns over a year ago, that I would become so captivated. He is a super hero doing good.

Watching someone create order out of chaos is very soothing.

😊

What's even more disgusting is the mindset of that woman blaming them for not coming out because it's a black community. Cities let a-lot of properties go in all parts of the city, unfortunately. A call isn't going to do anything, attend board meeting for your communities, making a presence is how things get done.

So I live in Australia and we have councils who maintain roads, collect garbage. We pay rates for garbage, levies for other things that the council decides in. I live on small acreage and the council expects us to maintain the grass verges but are supposed to come and mow 6 times a year. I go for walks and the grass was taller than me and it was not safe to walk on the road. So I went to the council, then sent an email to my division councillor. No reply so I emailed the local news station and they came out and interviewed me. The day after it was on the tv they came out and mowed. Haven't walked there for 18 months as I had an accident and face planted on the road so have to drive in and walk with a friend. The grass out here is so long again and nothing gets done

​@@idriveaxj5670 Waste your time going one of them meetings they look out for themselves and nobody else. I don't know when people going to get they don't care.

@@judyboast4020 here in the US if there's a lawn on city property in front of your house you mowe it, the city doesn't go around cutting all the lawns between the sidewalks and your house. If the "community" was so disgusted by it why didn't they come up with a solution so the kids could walk freely on the sidewalk, they obviously are just a community of complainers amongst themselves. That's why we have people like AL, no complaining just do it.

City won't spend money they save it for there self

Midlife and Al are my heroes ❤❤

You two are the two men that go the extra mile for the places you work on. Thank you both!

And it was kind of you to feed them

You rock Lacey❤

How thoughtful to get them lunch!!❤

❤❤ Much love to you for getting them lunch, Lacey!! You're a dear!

@laceylaird1243 that was so nice of you missus lacey and I am Jaxon and I do the same thing for my dad seans lawns sometimes with my gramma and mom so yes you are so very nice and cool thanks byeeeeee

Also no trash like some areas.

Very often, it's just an excuse. I was once told some services weren't provided in my neighborhood anymore because it was a so-called bad neighborhood. I've lived here for more than 30 years and felt safe even at night all this time. But there aren't any rich or otherwise influential people living here and there's a lot of social housing.

My thoughts exactly! Not safe, and no one is doing anything about it except complaining.

11:43 apparently the city only cuts in all the white, Asian, and mexican areas. 😂 Some people blame racism for the weirdest shit man

There not afraid they don't like the color of the people !

@@lindac6416that’s disgusting, I’m watching from Australia and I don’t understand how your city councils work, but I know it’s not right

@@chriswilford3576 Ir may not be "right', but there is a lot of truth in it all over the world. Ya et things slide and when you do get around to the area the neighbors off load a ton of resentment, Circular logic why not ask folks in Crickewood or some other spots in London about it for example.

@@chriswilford3576dont listen this color bs! That’s the typical let’s play victim response and take zero accountability. Why haven’t any of these people done anything to help?? That’s the real question. Peace Chris

​@@TC-dw6wgThey help by paying taxes, yet receive unequal treatment.

IKR? Plus, toooo scary looking for kids to pass by that property. Every kid has that one place they don't like to walk by! 😉

Go to a city council meeting videos about your community service job and watch every person attending give you a standing ovation. Maybe the city will hire you for some of the other work they're afraid of doing. What a crock. They probably just hired lazy workers. Kudos for all the good work you do for others, Al and Trey. You're the Good Guys.

Nothing prevented the parents of those kids forced to walk in the street from cutting the grass themselves to keep the sidewalk clear. Yes, the City should have none it, but they didn't. Thankfully Al came to the rescue, but who will keep it accessible from here on out?

Yes, he is extremely nice - too nice! If you truly care about others, you allow them to do for themselves and their loved ones instead of letting things get bad, and then just letting someone else do the hardworking.

Hello Mary how are you doing

😊

Why would anyone be a threat to someone trimming a sidewalk?

😊

😊

😊

Yes so glad he shortened it!!

Great transformation. And Trey is a good friend

Absolutely agree!

Best response 👌

Hope the neighbors keep it up.

AND WHILE COULD’NT THE MEN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD MOW THE OVERGROWN LOT. THEIR CHILDREN PROBABLY HAD TO TRAVEL THROUGH THAT AREA THAT AL MOWED.‼️

I have a feeling the kids are more in danger from the people in that community than they were walking down the road.

I hope your health continues to improve and your pain goes away.

Prayers for healing 🙏🙏🙏

@@EJLily686Thank you

@@carolgadles7045Thank you very much

@@carolgadles7045 Thank you

Bless you Al.Now the kids can use the sidewalk and stay out of the street. The city needs to come cut this property.Thete could be snakes or other animals hiding in that tall grass which is also dangerous.
