This Garden Disaster was an Overgrown Jungle | Yard Makeover

Believe it or not, there is a house under all of this mess. Watch me transform another almighty garden disaster from a jungle into an easily maintained yard. This one is a continuation of a job I started a couple of episodes ago out the front of the property (link below). As you can see, the ivy and vines are really taking over the side of the property, and it's probably worse than it was out the front. The owner offered to pay me for this job, but told him too just cover the tip fees. All of the labour and a trip to the landfill was about 7 - 8 hours worth of work done for free. Now, I know some of you are going to say, why didn't you do the whole job for free! Well, the simple answer is simple - I need to pay the bills. My channel is small, and I don't get millions of views like some of the bigger channels, allowing me to do all free jobs. Having said that, this channel does have the potential to do all free jobs and I would love to grow into that type of content. A big thank you to all of my members, subscribers, and also regular viewers (but you should subscribe if you haven't already 🙂). This part 2 of 3.

FAQ's:

Q: Where are you located?
A: We are from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 🦘🦘🦘.

Q: Do you worry about snakes?
A: I have never even seen a snake in over 4 years on the job.

Q: Which equipment do you use?
A: We use 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: What happened to Nick?
A: Nick was offered a full-time position at his other job as a Political admin!

Q: What happened to Brent?
A: Brent quit at the start of August 2022.

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'm not really sure to be honest, maybe something to do with space & maintenance, but either way, it really is poor heat efficiency!

Q: Why are you cutting so close to your employee!
A: I'm not cutting too close to my workers, they are standing too close to where I am working! All of my workers have been told numerous times about standing too close to the tools and about the hazards involved!

Q: Why do your workers do all the lifting and carrying?
A: Basically, they are employed to carry things and I pay them well, to do the job required.

Q: You work so well together, how do you do it?
A: That's the magic of editing. My workers are basically given instructions on what to do, I just edit it all out, so the videos look seamless!

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. Currently, I don't do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k on a good ride on mower.
2. I don't have anywhere to store it.
3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can't actually get a ride-on in there.
4. I don't have the right trailer for a ride on, considering we always take the green waste away.
5. I will get one as soon as all of the above are solved.

Q: What happened to your workers?
A: Because the work is so hard and I expect high standards, most have quit over time. The only exception so far is Nick!

An infinitesimal speck of the universe is again clean, neat and shiny, thanks to one caring, thoughtful man. Txs for sharing.

Your one of the few channels I hit Like before I start watching the video. Never seen you do shoddy work, always first rate.

I would have never asked why you didn't do the whole job for free; you do deserve to make a living, just like everybody else. Yet, this job would have cost over a couple of thousand for any other company, and that's if they would've even taken the job. I can't imagine, regardless, how if the homeowner could pay, why hadn't it been tackled sooner? You did an extraordinary job and I can't wait for another continuation. 👍💖

Watching George cut his way through the ivy jungle with only a machete...I mean hedge trimmer. Good job, George!

Removing all that ivy was tedious and time consuming, but you hung in there. Excellent work George.

With just that side cleaned, it made a major difference. The pressure washing also made it stand out. Great job.

[joycesingleton]

Great job clearing that jungle, and so glad you saw that power line to the hot water. Power washing too!

Brilliant job George, I love how methodical you are.

Terrific improvement. Nice newish fence. I can imagine what the old one died of. There must be so much light coming into the home now. Great job.
