    Our first home was in a poorer neighborhood. The first spring my husband went out and swept the gutter and street in front of our house. Soon all the neighbors were out doing the same.😊 I was planting my garden spaces and offered neighbors plants I was thinning. Soon our whole block was lifted to a space filled with friendship and beauty! All it takes is someone to start!❤

      We just moved I to a poorer neighborhood and people started seeing us clean and mow and now they are doing it too. They told our next door neighbor we had the nicest places in the area. So glad they are following suit

    A company needs to sponsor a wood chipper for you. You can return all the mulch back into the trees. Save you some money. And maybe even provide some mulch for the community gardens at the same time. Come on corporate America. This man needs some equipment.

    • @AdamBragg
      @AdamBragg 7 месяцев назад +76

      That's a great idea! Also, putting piles of dead wood into the forested area increases the risk of brush fires, so having a wood chipper to mulch the trees would be better on several fronts. Hopefully some manufacturer or seller sees this and steps up.

      @@fjklfdasdf You are correct, but as with many things, it is only good in moderation. Typically, these channels show large amounts of dead wood being removed from the cleaned up area. If all that wood is being "relocated" (ie. dumped) into a single location, then the risk of it starting a fire becomes greater than the benefit.

      Haaa haaa haa it's actually peaceful and calming for someone to clean an area that has been neglected. Mentally, clutter is not good for the soul. The job he is doing is hard work but at the same time feels good to accomplish what he set out to do. I use to do this for my neighbors when I was a teen and it felt so good when my work was done. 🥰🥰🥰

      This is Metro Detroit. The population has been constant for 50+ years, but the size of the metro has grown (doubled in area? I don't have exact figures). The city in this video is one that has emptied out in favor of outlying areas, losing tax revenue in the process. Pretty typical of Midwestern cities, a fairly constant population migrating outwards, leaving older cities to fend for themselves. Metro Detroit has some older suburbs that have flourished. I happen to live next to one. This one needs help, and I'm glad to see it happening.

    • @Wheel_Horse
      @Wheel_Horse 7 месяцев назад +23

      In some cities, keeping the sidewalk clear falls on the property owner. It's not clear if the city owns that property, or if it's some 3rd party. It appears that at one time there may have been a home on that lot since there is apparently a driveway apron. If there is a 3rd party owner, it's clear that they've abandoned the property. BUT, in any case, the city should still be responsible at the end of the day, either finding the property owner and compelling them to maintain the property or biting the bullet and at LEAST clear the sidewalk.

    Sean, I find myself watching your videos more than any of the others in this lawn makeover space and I thought I would let you know why. First, you’re doing the hard work of shoveling and raking and removing the debris; others have stopped doing that or never have done it. You’ve even done some pressure washing and minor repairs! Second, you are happy about it and have a positive attitude and that always seems to be on display. Whatever the revenue you receive from RUclips, it is well deserved.

That is some backbreaking work. Clearing away dirt, grass and garbage for kids and anyone who wants to use the sidewalks is really making it better and safe.
