Steep, Overgrown, and NEGLECTED: The ULTIMATE Garden Transformation Challenge!

Well, here we are back at another yard disaster cleanup. Last time we did the front of this property, this time we are going to finish the side and the backyard. This one is actually a deceased estate, and I was contacted by one of the daughters to do a cleanup. When I saw the place, I said that I would do it all the labour for free if she covered the tip fees. I think that that's only fair as many mowing men don't even take away the waste, hahaha. All up, we spent around 9.5 hours on this job, including 2 trips to the landfill.

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 music.

I think the comments directly into the camera are wonderful, it's much more personal. You two do a great job, it's a real pleasure to watch.

[leslieb.]

Love that you’re speaking in front of the camera, George! Much more personal! You & Steven are such a great team! Well done!

[pamelacole]

I prefer the harder jobs George, they’re much more interesting and so many secrets are discovered. As long as you and Steve have the stamina that is.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I’m glad you decided to not k_ll your new worker by getting him to go up and down that treacherous hill- I like Steve, he’s a great worker

[bowiefaniamiam]

That is one very challenging garden but, when you're situated on the side of a mountain what do you expect! You guys worked incredibly hard on this one, you're either super fit or super knackered after that 😂😂😂

[paulettecoffman]

I love the views. I'll will never get to see Australia other with your help. Thank you for showing Australia to me.
