Will we be able to Rescue this Catastrophe | Unbelievably Neglected Garden

What did I get us into this time....what a mess! I was talking to one of my casual pruning customers and mentioned that I had a YouTube channel that does transformations. After she watched some of our videos, she mentioned that she had another property that may fit the bill in terms of massive cleanups.....and she wasn't wrong. I went up and had a look at the property, but it was just much too large (1300m2) and much too neglected to do a full yard cleanup. In the end, I said I could help do a section and make a start. In the end, the job took us around 8 hours (plus 2 trips to the landfill) to complete, and I have made the video into 2 parts, this is the first episode!

Workers on this job: George (long pants) & Reece (Shorts).

FAQ's:

Q: Where are you located?

Q: Do you worry about snakes?

Q: Which equipment do you use?

A: Sorry, I prefer not to talk about costs!

Q: What happened to Nick?

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

Q: Why don't you use tarps instead of cans?
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!

The view over the fences priceless beautiful cut all those trees and everything down so you can see it wow

[olgapaulus]

Wow!! This net was hard to remove. You did an excellent job removing it. Nothing stands in your way. Can hardly wait to see it completely done.

Hi George and Reece, you're "awesome"! Popularly we say this in Brazil 🇧🇷 : "He's not afraid of getting his hands dirty" or "Always ready and willing", that is, they work hard and with the purpose of an excellent result! Congratulations!👏🙋🏻🇧🇷

Olá George e Reece, vocês "são demais", ! Popularmente dizemos assim no Brasil🇧🇷: "ele não tem medo de meter a mão na massa" e " não tem tempo ruim", ou seja, trabalham com afinco e com a finalidade de um excelente resultado! Parabéns!👏🙋🏻🇧🇷

That yard had not been taken care of for a long time. What a mess. Your hard work is what is needed. Great job guys. God bless.

[flipsforfun]

Believe it or not I find your videos both relaxing and motivating at the same time. Love watching you in the morning while drinking coffee getting ready to start my day. That netting is a nightmare but you two handled it. Thank you for starting my day

I know every country has its beauty and lord knows the United States has it own beauty in each state but my goodness what a sight to behold where you were on this massive project. Well done. Stay safe. Watching in South Carolina at 7am ☕️🇺🇸

[irenefitzpatrick]

What a job! All that netting is a nightmare! Glad that birds can’t get trapped in it any longer. An excellent piece of hard work! 😊

[sharonlawson]

Wow! What a challenging project. I’m assuming the net was to keep the birds off the fruit trees? Loved part 1, can’t wait to see part 2. Awesome job!

This reminded me of the 1976 famous, American movie, NETWORK. Peter Finch, a British actor has a very famous quote in the movie, “I am mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore.” He won an academy award for his performance. George, you deserve an award for your amazing landscaping talent. Your NETWORK would win in the Disaster category. I enjoy your superb skills and professional attitude when you tackle these horrific yards.

Excelente trabajo que hacen, los felicito

[veronicahartman]

I am exhausted watching you clear that land!!! Take the fence down! View being obstructed! 🧡

[carmenrivero]

Unos genios y con prolijidad, quiero la segunda parte....saludos desde Uruguay

[nancyjenkins]

I can see how hard and frustrating this job was but these are my favorite transformations! The view from this area is beautiful.

[skmarrama]

I saw the netting and knew it was an orchard. Apples? Cherries? I’ve seen netting over cherry trees. I’m just starting so will add to my comment. Again I see the handrails and the steep slope that comes with coastal communities. You have your work cut out for you. It makes me a little sad when I see properties that were once productive go to neglect when the owner becomes too elderly to maintain a beloved garden. It reminds me of my father. Looking forward to part 2. Thank you George and Reece!

[olikarpe]

Que trabajo más duro el de ese jardin...demasiadas redes, alambradas pequeñas, barras de hierro...
Deseando ver la segunda parte¡¡¡¡

[joselitomalillin]

[marieK]

That net was a nightmare. I wonder what they used to grow that needed such a long and wide net . Tough job, hard day ...
