Cutting Overgrown Grass Full of SNAKES

Cutting Overgrown Grass Full of SNAKES
We received a letter from an Anonymous neighbor who complained that our grass was too tall by the creek and causing mosquitoes. We decided to cut the overgrown lawn and it was full of SNAKES!

What a lovely spot by the creek and little waterfall. Snakes are a part of the ecosystem and if they are 'Gartner Snakes' then no real issue. It was only a small natural area as the rest of your property was well kept. If the neighbours are uncomfortable with that then perhaps they are living in the wrong environment. The city may suit them better!

Great job! When you said "snakes" it would have been OVER for me at that point! Lol

[amandaerickson]

It’s ridiculous some neighbor is so concerned about that little amount. They have nothing better to do apparently.

[lizbethlee]

Anonymous neighbor? If this yard bothered them so badly why didn’t they offer to help? One never knows circumstances until one asks.

I'm with you, Eric, get rid of the rocks. Make it easier on yourself. Years ago I decided if plants in my yard can't survive the weather we have in summer and winter then I don't want them. I'm to old to fertilize, water, cover in the cold. You get the idea. I'm a much happier gardener 😁.
I have mostly raised beds and told the man that mows if it's inside the flowerbed then don't bother it. If it's outside the flowerbed then cut it down. Happy, happy, happy.
I also have my share of snakes. As long as they're not poisonous I don't bother them and they don't bother me.
Happy Gardening

If that happened to me I would have fertilized and watered the weeds. That’s why I live in the country don’t have to worry about a noisy neighbor.

Looks 100 times better. Now you can actually see your little water feature. Nice job!

You chopped down a beautiful hosta plant with flowers on it, thats not a weed, a plant you buy at a greenhouse. It could be a nice rock garden, it's a really pretty are and colorful flowers would look good in there. Put a bird bath in there with Shepard hooks for bird feeders. You could put a butterfly bush in there to attract butterfly. The plants in there could attract different birds.

Beautiful creek, I’d take all the rock and make a round cut flower garden, especially if you ever get approved as a wedding venue! What a beautiful place for wedding pictures!

I love Before and after landscaping/yard videos ... Great Job

[juliemelnychuk]

Wow. What a difference. Very nice to see the creek. Ya, mite be a good idea to remove the rocks. Level it out for the mower. Hi, Gryff. By the way, l wasn't laughing at you. You worked hard to clean it up.👍😊🇨🇦

[astrickland]

You are a good
man to help people out. GOD bless you and prosper you.

[sandrawallder]

Keep up the great work you are doing for the community. God bless you

[bethdumont]

I'd say it was the same neighbour in both cases. Don't let them get away with it - get legal advice because sans a HOA this constitutes harassment against you specifically.

[marywrigjt]

For some reason I really liked this video. Now you’ll get griped at for cutting the wildflowers. 👍👍❤️❤️❤️

[johnnelson]

I would remove the stones and that broken retaining wall. Also, I would widen that creek about 2 feet and soften the banks. And finally, I would line the creek banks with landscaping fabric and river washed stones of various sizes. This is an aesthetically pleasing effect that will also control erosion.

[marthafalk]

I’m calling bs on the letter, maybe they knew you went on vacation and wanted to aggravate you when you got back.

[walbertomercado]

Great video on how not to clear growth in your back yard, for one thing I would not dump trimmings into a nearby stream (running water) seeing as that’s your best attribute on the property that is a show case of beauty I would have started from the stream out taking more time but looking much better

[teresab]

Well if you find out who it is let them know long grass is not a felony. But by putting something in your mailbox they committed a felony. Now which do you think is worse

[fredstriker]

How many others had just had the realization that watching a stranger weed eat is better than basically everything on mainstream media
