I'm so sad that she was going to have to move in with the garden like this, it must have been really overwhelming for her, especially with a new baby. Well done to you for not only creating a nicer space, but for taking some of that worry off her shoulders! ❤❤
Honestly, I was quite concerned as well. I moved my work diary around to get this one in really quickly. And traveled a lot further than I normally do to 😅 But I'm glad I did. It was quite a bit of fun. You never really know what you're gonna find in a garden like this 🤣 And the job seems far from done yet. Thank you so much for your comment It's truly appreciated. All the best, Martin.
Haha, I'm glad I could help. Although, cleaning a kitchen is much like gardening, the job just needs doing again at some point 😂😊but what else would we be doing with our time.
That was one rough job!!! I don't know how you kept your spirit up to keep going! Someone let that place go for way too long....and you were a darling for tackling it!!!!
Oh thanks 😊 most kind of you. It was a shame, if you look closely, you can see how loved the garden had been in the past. Bird houses, bug hotels, a gate leading to the horse paddocks. It's much have been lovely. Hopefully, I'll make it so again 🤞 Thanks again for the kind comment Much appreciated 🙏 Martin
It can be hard at times for older folks to trust others as they hear so much about people taking advantage of them. Thank you for baking it safe for him.
I totally agree 👍 Fresh air and an outdoor space, it's the best 👌 😊 I'll be finishing off the garden next week to make it totally baby proof 🤣 if that's even possible. Thank you kindly for the comment All the best Martin
I absolutely love videos like this where it is all so overgrown that everything in the back yard is a discovery! She is going to have lots of places for a sandbox and play yard in the future, thanks to your work!
Yeah, I love it too. I feel like the great David Attenborough sometimes 😂 I always rescue plants if I can, as well, I think they deserve it after surviving some of the overgrown gardens I deal with 😁 Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it. Martin.
What a difference! You did a great job on this place. I would love to see you finish it up. This has tons of potential. Thank you so much for helping this new mother. She is going to have her hands full for a while. Now she can bring the baby outside. This is so great. Thank you again. You did an excellent job clearing all the vines and baby trees! ❤️
Oh, hello, Texas 👋 great to hear from you. Glad you liked the video. I'll be doing quite a bit more in the coming weeks. I'm still formulating a plan 🤣 happy to hear your thoughts. I've got a 2 & 3 year old son and a daughter and they love our garden ❤️, so hopefully I can get it ready for her baby to enjoy. My two wouldn't be without their garden Thanks for the kind comments, as always. Martin.
@@martinthegardenguy that’s awesome! When I was little, I spent more time outside than in. Kids need dirt and sunshine to thrive! Enjoy those little ones, they grow fast! ❤️
Thanks Bill, much appreciated. I've still got to remove all spikey bits and do a bit more work. But it should be fit for purpose by the time I'm done 😁👍
Totally agree 👍 but like a Muppet I'd brought the brush cutter blade head but not the hex wrench to swap it over 🤣 Live and learn 😁 Thanks for the sensible comment though, much appreciated. All the best Martin.
Another great video ! You worked very hard on this garden , you must of had some sore muscles . Like your funny bits also . New mom will be overjoyed to have such a special place ! Live in Kentucky USA😀
Oh, thanks for this lovely comment ❤️ really appreciate it. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. Hope you had a great Christmas, best of luck in the new year. All the best Kentucky, from Nottingham ❤️
My Oh My....what a mess...Good thing you had Plan C.🎉 Well, you have sure made a hit with the brambles!😂 Take care, Becky 🎉 You are doing a bang up job.
Cheers Becky 😊👍 I ended up on plan G by the end 🤣 I'd not got a lot of my kit with me, so I had to keep being creative 😆 And it's still not finished. Thanks again Martin
Thank you so much. I totally appreciate it ☺️ Hopefully, you think it looked ok, it was a race against the weather so I had to move quickly. Thanks again Martin
Oh, thank you 😊 I really appreciate it. I thought I'd bitten off too much with this garden, but it's starting to come along nicely. Just need some nice weather now 😅 Thanks again, Martin
Hello, thanks for subscribing. Much appreciated. 😊 Part 2 is now delayed until next weekend unfortunately. I've been back already to continue, but there's still quite a lot going on. I've got to somehow find a path through the back gate 🤣 it'll be fun. Thanks again Martin
You're not wrong 👍 😁 it's needs a good blast, even if it's just to clean out the joints before it gets re-pointed with sand and cement. Anything to stop the weeds growing through 🤣 Thanks for the comment 😊 Martin
Fair play to you that was an epic. Threw every makita garden tool at that😂. You put your head down and waded in a chunk at a time. Well done it pays off in the end. Good idea to use the hedge trimmer,s. Great to see a tidy garden. Instead of a jungle.❤Ruth
Haha, honestly, I didn't know where to start either 😂 you'll probably notice I was darting around a little. And I've been doing this for over 25 years 😂 Dreaded Blackberry bushes is a pretty good description 😁 I only like them for one month of the year. I've seen one or two of George's videos, seems like a cracking bloke. Very hard worker. And he works in Tasmania, I've considered emigrating there a few times over the years! 😅 Thanks for the comment. Martin.
I agree 😂 I used to be flawless with my eye protection. But since running backward and forwards to the camera on the tripod. I forget to put them back on. My new-year resolution, to stop doing this 😂
Amazing transformation !!!! I search this guy today . And now i am a follower !!! His job is great !!!! As people job who clean houses . This transformations give owners healthier life !!
These episodes are my all time favorites! I would love to know about the person who created this garden. You can tell a lot love went into it. I am so impressed with your work bringing it back to life! ♥️♥️
Thank you ❤️ 😊 very kind of you to say. There's going to be a part 4, 5 and 6 on this garden if I'm not careful 🤣 It's turned into the never-ending garden job 😁 always something to do in such a small garden.
Hello, and thank you 😊 Part 2 is already out 👍 part 3 on the other hand is still waiting to get done 😅 its been quite a big job 😂 Hope you enjoy. And thanks again Martin.
This is going to be a total gut job....clean the whole thing out and start over??? The slate patio and brick sure needs a pressure washer cleaning from that mold and moss especially with a small child. WOW you made it through some of the jungle and did a FANTASTIC JOB. The home owner will be happy for sure. God Bless you and your gifts. Great video.
Excellent suggestions, I'm sure these things will be done. Especially pressure washing and pointing up the patio again to stop weeds growing through the slabs. Anything that can be done without her needing to spend much money as I think funds are a bit tight. I'll definitely make some more time available to help her out. Check out part 2 😅 even more fun. Thanks for your lovely comment. ☺️ All the best Martin
This is the hardest I've ever seen one guy do on this type of channel!!!! What a horrible mess with all those stickers!!!! I'm subscribing and giving you a like! Good on you from the US!!!
Oh yeah, I agree. They'd be lovely if they were cleaned up and re-pointed. A lot of them were very wonky and needed some work to fix. But after that, they'd be loads of room for plenty of containers ☺️
Hey, thank you. I'm glad I could help 😊 it feels amazing to get a little bit of order and tidynes in the garden 😅 Best of luck with yours 👍 Thank you Martin
If you were brave enough to tackle this garden, I’m in. I will look for future videos. I hope you return to this garden soon. Nice job. The hedge trimmer worked like magic. ❤😊
Thank you, that's very kind of you. It was a lot of fun. But next time, I'll remember my gloves without holes in them 🤣 Thanks for watching, I'm quite new to filming my work, but hopefully, they'll keep getting better. I do quite a few jobs like this one, so keep an eye out for them. Thanks again ☺️ Martin
I would have cried when I saw what was behind that back garden gate. Yikes, what a mess. You made great inroads in one day and that little patio was a lovely discovery. I can’t imagine why that was left for a new tenant to deal with, but I’m surely glad you were able to help her out with this cleanup. 🥇🥇🥇
Thanks Debbie, there are some paddocks beyond the brambles. I'll try and add a shot to the next part when I go back. It looks lovely, or would when all the brambles are gone 😅 Probably would have been a lovely little garden in its day. I found bird houses, bug hotels and some lovely plants. I shall try to get it back to what it once was ✌️ Thanks again Martin
This could be such a beautiful property. The flower beds full of flowers and the yard free of weeds and green. I’m glad you’re helping the mom up, but someone has to do the maintenance once you’re done.i have to say babies never stopped me from house and yard work. I’m glad you’re helping her out. You’re a good man.
Your strategies were awesome! You did everything right for a great looking result! I hope to see video of more work on this property and the reaction of the new resident. Watching in the state of Michigan near Detroit in USA
Hello Michigan, greetings from Nottingham. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for the comment. I'll definitely be filming part 2 at some point this autumn. Thanks again for watching All the best Martin.
Oh hi, thanks for subscribing. Glad you enjoyed the video ☺️ I've actually already done a second visit to this garden, but I still have more to do. There are so many hidden parts to this garden, so hopefully part two will be ready by next weekend 🤞 Thanks again. Martin
In the first place the sellers or real estate people should have cleaned up that place. I wouldn’t have accepted anything that looked like this. I know the lady must be anxious to move, especially with a new baby. That patio and other pavement would really benefit from a good power washing! I’m looking forward to the next segment of this clean up. Thanks for sharing and God bless!
Oh hi, thanks for the comment 😊 Unfortunately the previous resident had passed away, and apparently, the garden had already been "let go" before this. In the UK, estate agents don't have anything to do with the condition of a property. They just simply sell the place, and there is still lots of competition to buy properties. I've already done a second visit and third planned for this week, so 🤞 it'll be done 😁 part 2 should be ready by the weekend. Wow, it's been a tough one though 🤣 Thanks again Martin
Does that mean the new Mum will get to keep the pots? A couple of them with new mix in and some silverbeet seeds, swiss chard to you maybe, would give fresh greens for the wee one.
@catherinefromchristchurchn6508 I think that's a great idea 👍 I love the way you think ☺️ My kids still love running outside to get strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. from our garden. I will definitely suggest this to her and give her a hand setting up. Chard is a brilliant plant for them to start with 👍❤️
Me to, I'll be back to make it sound for her to keep up to a good standard. I'd like to clear the gate out properly so it can be used to get to the fields behind 🤞
That is wonderful news. Her baby will be running around before she knows it, and having a back garden to play in and access to the fields for walks will be lovely im sure
Haha, yeah she did indeed. I cant complain though, I do love my job. Even when I'm not getting paid 😁 you should see part 2 🤯 Thank you for the lovely comment, truly appreciated. Martin.
Hello, yeah, my gloves were ok.....right up until the point one got a hole in it 🤣 Fortunately, I was quite careful 😊 but I still got prickled a few times.
What a great job you did and what a relief for a new mum to be moving into a tidy garden instead of the wilderness that was! You’re a good egg Martin, the world needs more like you 👍💕 have liked and subscribed 😊
Thank you so much, I certainly try to be a good egg 😁 I mostly succeed. I'm glad you like the content. I hope only to improve and entertain more 🙏 So thank you very much for the kind compliment. Martin.
Indeed, she will. You're right. There is still a lot to do. I'll be going back next week to finish off 😁 hopefully I'll upload the finished result by Friday night. But I'm still coming up with a plan 🤣 I'm glad you liked the video. I much appreciate the comment 🙏 Martin
Thanks 😊 I don't even know I'm doing it sometimes. I just like mixing it up and varying the job I'm doing. Instead of doing all the strimming first. I'd probably get bored 🤣 Thanks for the comment, I hope you enjoyed the video. Martin.
Parabéns pela ajuda a essa mãezinha que irá morar aí! Você sempre mostra ser uma homem solidário e compreensivo. Seu trabalho é muito valioso!!! 👏👏👏😂🇧🇷
Hey Wiltshire, I hope the weather is better down there than up here 😁 It's a good start, but still quite a bit to do. Those brambles are going to need pulling up. But thanks again so much for the lovely comment. 🤗
I certainly hope someone enjoys it. It took enough work! 😂 Can you see how this garden would have once looked? I bet it was beautiful in its heyday 😊😍 Thanks for the comment 👍 Really appreciate it. Martin.
Haha, yes, indeed. A brushcutter would have helped. I actually have two of them, but unfortunately, I didn't bring them on this job. So I improvised 😁 It was far more fun. Thanks for the comment 👍 Martin
Thank you 😊 hope you made it to the end 🤞 it was a fun little clearance. Albeit a spikey one, with all the brambles and wild roses 🤣 bad day to get a hole in my thick gloves.
The big clearance was the easy bit really 😅 there is no finesse in bulldozing the over grown bit. But it's is enjoyable 😁 Took me two more days just to do the rest of the bramble removal and sort the trees out as well as the corner climbers (aka The Cave Of Wonders) 😉 Next time is day 4!
Oh yes, it's was about as full of brambles as could even fit into the garden 😅 they were the nice thick ones with large thorns, too! Ouch. Thank you for the comment, I really appreciate it. It's turned out to be quite a fun job. And it's not even finished yet, we're having quite a lots of rain so it's delayed me finishing. All the best Martin
Thank you 😊 hopefully part 2 will add the finishing touches of finesse this garden deserves. Plus making it safe for a young baby 👶 🙏 Thanks again Martin.
Indeed, many, many years 😅 and so far its take me two and a half days to get it back into some resemblance of a garden 😂 Thanks for the comment All the best Martin.
Excellent point my friend, I'd got the blade in the van but unfortunately I didn't take the hex wrench with me so couldn't swap it over. So I had to improvise 😂lesson learned. Glad you still liked the video 👍 Thanks Martin.
Look! This is my 1st time watching u on youtube nd I gotta say u do b doing a great job at cutting nd trimming as well as removing ur clippings. GOD BLESS U YOUNG MAN nd keep on helping others as u might someday need to b helped urself.❤❤❤❤. BTW I am watching u from OHIO here in the USA.
Greetings Ohio, great to hear from you. Thanks for the awesome comment, very much appreciated. 😊 Hope you enjoy the next videos as well. Thanks for watching. All the best Martin
Hello to the lovely Whitby. It's one of my favorite spots to holiday (or get away) in the UK ❤️☺️ Thank you so much for the compliment. Always appreciated. Martin.
Hello Seattle 👋 nice to hear from you. Greetings from Nottingham. Thanks for the lovely comment. Part 2 will put all the finishing touches on and make it beautiful again....Hopefully 😅 Martin.
Oh yeah, I think the inside had been done to a point. Looking through the window, I could see a new kitchen and floor being fitted. It should look quite nice when it's all finished 😊 Although the inside couldn't have been any worse than the outside 😂 it'd have been condemned 😅
Over across the pond have twice as much work with chopping all the greenery. Just sucks too see that extra work on your end. God bless and awesome job. Beautiful.
Danke schön. Ich finde immer, dass es hilfreich ist, alles zu zerkleinern, um Platz zu schaffen, wenn ich Abfälle entsorge, insbesondere bei Dornen und stacheligen Dingen 😊👍 Plus ist gute Bewegung 😂
Yeah, that's the plan 👍 also going to have to figure a way to stop them coming through the back fence where the gate is. It'll be fun 🤣 hopefully will be done before next weekend 🤞 Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated. Martin.
Thank you, I really appreciate it 😊 glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully, I'll be finishing off next week, I just need to come up with a plan 🤣 If so it'll be uploaded to RUclips on Friday night 🤞 Thanks again Martin
Nice. Really nice. I’m sure she will enjoy the space immensely. Good job.
I'm so sad that she was going to have to move in with the garden like this, it must have been really overwhelming for her, especially with a new baby. Well done to you for not only creating a nicer space, but for taking some of that worry off her shoulders! ❤❤
Honestly, I was quite concerned as well. I moved my work diary around to get this one in really quickly. And traveled a lot further than I normally do to 😅
But I'm glad I did. It was quite a bit of fun. You never really know what you're gonna find in a garden like this 🤣
And the job seems far from done yet.
Thank you so much for your comment
It's truly appreciated.
All the best,

@@martinthegardenguy you're very welcome, I look forward to the end result. 😊
This motivated me to clean the kitchen 😁👍🤗

@@martinthegardenguy Wonderful. I am certain he is glad for the company.

Such a difference! It really will help the new mom to be able to step outside for a breath of fresh air. Makes all the difference in the world!

Absolutely gorgeous ! You did a excellent job on this!
Thank you 👍 😊 🙏
I loved watching you make this garden so beautiful! I look forward to seeing more of your videos! May god bless!
Instead of a string line, try using a Blade head. It will cut Bramble easier and mulch it quicker for you to remove.
Totally agree 👍 but like a Muppet I'd brought the brush cutter blade head but not the hex wrench to swap it over 🤣
Live and learn 😁
Thanks for the sensible comment though, much appreciated.
All the best
Martin.
@pietlammers1580 thank you 😊 really appreciate it.
Totally agree, it is a blade, so can cut better .
Your right
Big blade must be used in that kind of lawn...

The transformation on this one could really be impressive! What you've done is massive! I was so surprised by the back gate and size of the patio! ❤
Thank you so much. I totally appreciate it ☺️ Hopefully, you think it looked ok, it was a race against the weather so I had to move quickly.
Thanks again

That property is a huge undertaking- but your determination and hard work are paying off. Bless you for your kindness toward the mother and child. 😊
That's a lovely comment 😊 thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

I've got to somehow find a path through the back gate 🤣 it'll be fun.

At last a man that understands you have to dig out bramble roots! 👏👏👏👏👏
I dug most out, but not all 😅 I have plans to deal with the rest of them 👍
That was quite an undertaking! Great job! Can't wait for part 2.
Looks like the patio could use a good power wash. Great job! Thank you. ❤💙💚💛💜
You're not wrong 👍 😁 it's needs a good blast, even if it's just to clean out the joints before it gets re-pointed with sand and cement.

Thanks 😊 yes, I was like a whirling dervish with the hedge cutter. I'm lucky I haven't lost a finger 😂👍
George, our favorite guy from Quick Cuts in Tasmania, calls them the 'dreaded blackberry bushes'. Great job--I wouldn't begin to know where to start!

Consider wearing eye protection on your eyes! Great job!
I agree 😂 I used to be flawless with my eye protection. But since running backward and forwards to the camera on the tripod. I forget to put them back on.
My new-year resolution, to stop doing this 😂
Get yourself some suspenders and you won’t have to constantly pull up your pants. I got some and I love them.
I've got some 😅 I just forgot to wear them. Also, we call them braces in the UK, suspenders here are the lingerie that women wear 😂

Martin, great job, see you on the next video
Boy, I bet plenty of us wish we had a nice stone patio like that in our yards. It has so much potential, especially for a container garden.
Oh yeah, I agree. They'd be lovely if they were cleaned up and re-pointed. A lot of them were very wonky and needed some work to fix.
But after that, they'd be loads of room for plenty of containers ☺️
I’m really glad you clarified that it wasn’t actually finished. Great job so far! 👍🏻😁
Haha, yeah, this garden felt like the never-ending job. Strictly speaking, it's still not finished even now 😅
Thanks for the comment 👍
This was inspirational. Clearing up my own garden for Spring suddenly seemed much more achievable. Thank you.

Oh hi, thanks for the comment 😊 Unfortunately the previous resident had passed away, and apparently, the garden had already been "let go" before this. In the UK, estate agents don't have anything to do with the condition of a property. They just simply sell the place, and there is still lots of competition to buy properties.
I've already done a second visit and third planned for this week, so 🤞 it'll be done 😁 part 2 should be ready by the weekend.
Wow, it's been a tough one though 🤣
Thanks again
Martin
Does that mean the new Mum will get to keep the pots? A couple of them with new mix in and some silverbeet seeds, swiss chard to you maybe, would give fresh greens for the wee one.
@catherinefromchristchurchn6508
I think that's a great idea 👍 I love the way you think ☺️
My kids still love running outside to get strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. from our garden.
I will definitely suggest this to her and give her a hand setting up. Chard is a brilliant plant for them to start with 👍❤️
What an amazing job you did here. The young lady should be real pleased.
Oh, thank you 😊 she was happy, although still a heck of a lot left to do.
Ther eis definitely going to be a part 2 🤣
Thanks again
Martin
That back garden is one solid hedge. Lol
Haha, yeah it was. I big spikey hedge at that 🤣😅
I really hope this lady keeps on top of her garden she has got a wonderful start ❤❤❤😊😊
Me to, I'll be back to make it sound for her to keep up to a good standard.
I'd like to clear the gate out properly so it can be used to get to the fields behind 🤞
That is wonderful news. Her baby will be running around before she knows it, and having a back garden to play in and access to the fields for walks will be lovely im sure
The Lady really does need help. You are so kind. Great job. Thanks. God bless
Haha, yeah she did indeed. I cant complain though, I do love my job. Even when I'm not getting paid 😁 you should see part 2 🤯
Thank you for the lovely comment, truly appreciated.
Martin.
I have learned from you that clipping up the cuttings to go into the recycling bags really helps me get more into the bag. Thanks for that!
Blackberry bushes are the end. Hope you have good gloves 👍
Hello, yeah, my gloves were ok.....right up until the point one got a hole in it 🤣
Fortunately, I was quite careful 😊 but I still got prickled a few times.
What a great job you did and what a relief for a new mum to be moving into a tidy garden instead of the wilderness that was! You’re a good egg Martin, the world needs more like you 👍💕 have liked and subscribed 😊
Thank you so much, I certainly try to be a good egg 😁 I mostly succeed.
I'm glad you like the content. I hope only to improve and entertain more 🙏
So thank you very much for the kind compliment.
Martin.
Definitely needed your Oregon blades on this one.
I would like to see the finished product . It looks great what you have cleared, but the new Mom will still need more help with this garden(?)
Indeed, she will. You're right. There is still a lot to do. I'll be going back next week to finish off 😁 hopefully I'll upload the finished result by Friday night.
But I'm still coming up with a plan 🤣
I'm glad you liked the video. I much appreciate the comment 🙏
Martin
I really like that you do one section at a time! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️
Thanks 😊 I don't even know I'm doing it sometimes. I just like mixing it up and varying the job I'm doing. Instead of doing all the strimming first.
I'd probably get bored 🤣
Thanks for the comment, I hope you enjoyed the video.
Martin.
Parabéns pela ajuda a essa mãezinha que irá morar aí! Você sempre mostra ser uma homem solidário e compreensivo. Seu trabalho é muito valioso!!! 👏👏👏😂🇧🇷
Thank you 😊 🙏
Cool little garden.
Wow that was a hard job but you did it, and what a difference looks great. You’ve made the lady very happy well done ❤❤Wiltshire
Hey Wiltshire, I hope the weather is better down there than up here 😁
It's a good start, but still quite a bit to do. Those brambles are going to need pulling up.
But thanks again so much for the lovely comment. 🤗
Great start …… there’s definitely potential for a beautiful place to relax and have your morning coffee ! 👍🏽🏋🏽♂️💗💗💗
I certainly hope someone enjoys it. It took enough work! 😂
Can you see how this garden would have once looked? I bet it was beautiful in its heyday 😊😍
Thanks for the comment 👍
Really appreciate it.
Martin.
Oregon mulching blade would be perfect here . Fair play it would be easy to get overwhelmed with this one
Indeed 👍 unfortunately I'd forgot the hex wrench to swap the strimmer head over to the blade! 😂 so I improvised with the hedge cutter.
You need to get the tools that Ben From Flawless Cleaning uses on Brambles. Great transformation though.
Haha, yes, indeed. A brushcutter would have helped. I actually have two of them, but unfortunately, I didn't bring them on this job.
So I improvised 😁
It was far more fun.
Thanks for the comment 👍
Martin
Hard work , you've done well
Much appreciated 🙏 ☺️
OUTSTANDING ❤❤
Wow. What a nightmare 😮 You did a fantastic job bringing back to a usable place❤
Wow, thank you 😊 🙏
It's definitely a start anyway, a wee bit more to do. But I have grand plans 😁
Thank ls again
Martin
Awesome job keep up the good work and bless you for helping this woman out!
Thank you, that's really appreciated 😊
Martin.
Awesome work - can’t wait to see the finish 😊
Thank you 😊 hope you made it to the end 🤞 it was a fun little clearance. Albeit a spikey one, with all the brambles and wild roses 🤣 bad day to get a hole in my thick gloves.
I cannot believe you did all that in one day. Awesome.
The big clearance was the easy bit really 😅 there is no finesse in bulldozing the over grown bit. But it's is enjoyable 😁
Took me two more days just to do the rest of the bramble removal and sort the trees out as well as the corner climbers (aka The Cave Of Wonders) 😉
Next time is day 4!
Discovered your channel today. Enjoyed your video - excellent job. Now a subscriber.👏👏👏
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍😊
I like your method Sir,clean as you go 👍
Thank you 😅 hopefully you managed to see the finished result. I still have bad dreams about this garden 😂
Thanks again
Martin
Huge Kudos to you, that was a lot of hard work 👌
Thank you 😊 yes it was, and very spikey 😂 but a great deal of fun also.
Thanks for the comment.
Martin.
What a mess you walked into!! Oh for shame!! That would have been terribly depressing for the new mother. Thank you🌹
Oh yes, it's was about as full of brambles as could even fit into the garden 😅 they were the nice thick ones with large thorns, too! Ouch.
Thank you for the comment, I really appreciate it. It's turned out to be quite a fun job. And it's not even finished yet, we're having quite a lots of rain so it's delayed me finishing.
All the best
Martin
Bravo, good work! Rudi.
Much appreciated, Rudi 👍😊
Wow what a lovely big transformation sir.. 👏 see in your next video..😊
Oh great 👍 I'm glad you enjoyed it. There should be plenty more on the way this season 😁🤞
Thank you for watching
All the best
Martin.
What an incredible job you have done
Oh, thank you 😊 I appreciate it.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks again
Martin
This looks so much better
Thank you 😊 hopefully part 2 will add the finishing touches of finesse this garden deserves. Plus making it safe for a young baby 👶 🙏
Thanks again
Martin.
Brambles look as thou they've been there for a good few years.
Indeed, many, many years 😅 and so far its take me two and a half days to get it back into some resemblance of a garden 😂
Thanks for the comment
All the best
Martin.
Just added a pop up container and it has made clean up easier 😊
Awesome job. I kow how hard some of those jobs are, especially clearing brambles! Look forward to more vids 🙂
Thanks so much, yeah brambles are a pain. I only like them for one month of the year 🤣
Thanks again for the comment
Much appreciated
Martin
Excellent job done waiting for the next video of complete transformation...❤
Thanks so much, lovely of you to say.
Fingers crossed part 2 will be ready by Friday 😊 🤞 day 2 was even worse than day one 🤣
Thanks again
Martin
You might want to add an Oregon mulching blade to your arsenal for the brambles like that. Great job. Thanks for the video.
Excellent point my friend, I'd got the blade in the van but unfortunately I didn't take the hex wrench with me so couldn't swap it over. So I had to improvise 😂lesson learned.
Glad you still liked the video 👍
Thanks
Martin.
Excellent. Job 😮❤
Thank you 👍 😊 🙏
Look! This is my 1st time watching u on youtube nd I gotta say u do b doing a great job at cutting nd trimming as well as removing ur clippings. GOD BLESS U YOUNG MAN nd keep on helping others as u might someday need to b helped urself.❤❤❤❤. BTW I am watching u from OHIO here in the USA.

Love this - brilliant job can't wait to see it finished 🌿☘️🌱 am in Whitby 🇬🇧
Hello to the lovely Whitby. It's one of my favorite spots to holiday (or get away) in the UK ❤️☺️
Thank you so much for the compliment.
Always appreciated.
Martin.
Great video felt like I was there watching the beautiful work you do. Bonnie from Seattle,Washington
Hello Seattle 👋 nice to hear from you. Greetings from Nottingham.
Thanks for the lovely comment.
Part 2 will put all the finishing touches on and make it beautiful again....Hopefully 😅
Martin.
Fantastic job! Very hard work but it looks great. I just hope the house has been kept up better than the yard.
Oh yeah, I think the inside had been done to a point. Looking through the window, I could see a new kitchen and floor being fitted. It should look quite nice when it's all finished 😊
Although the inside couldn't have been any worse than the outside 😂 it'd have been condemned 😅
well that was amazing. great job, great video!
Thanks so much, its truly appreciated 🙏
I hope part 2 of this job will be as entertaining 😄
Nicely done!!❤❤
Thank you 😊 🙏
Great job--that little mower is a beast!
Haha, thanks 😊 poor little thing didn't enjoy it, though. I had to sharpen the blade after this 🤣
Next time, I'll rake up first.
Brilliant job thanks for helping ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Oowww, thank you so much. You're always very kind ☺️
Lovely job looks nice 😊😊😊
Thank you 😊 🙏
Wow! Excellent job. Well done!
Thank you so much. Kind comments like this never get boring 😊
So, very much appreciated.
Martin.
Over across the pond have twice as much work with chopping all the greenery. Just sucks too see that extra work on your end. God bless and awesome job. Beautiful.
Thank you 😊 🙏 very kind of you to say.
I really appreciate it.
Martin
Super Arbeit! 👍
Ich schneide auch immer alles so schön klein wie du. 😉
Danke schön. Ich finde immer, dass es hilfreich ist, alles zu zerkleinern, um Platz zu schaffen, wenn ich Abfälle entsorge, insbesondere bei Dornen und stacheligen Dingen 😊👍
Plus ist gute Bewegung 😂
Great job Martin👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Oh, thank you 😊 you are most kind ❤️
Мартіне, дуже вдячна вам що ви таки взялися за цю надскладну роботу і виконали її надзвичайно добре! Я була вражена!!!
Чекаю продовження.....
Thank you ☺️❤️
Much appreciated 🙏
Waiting for far back and part two.strip everything back to fence and bricks. Bramble will have to be dug out anyways.
Yeah, that's the plan 👍 also going to have to figure a way to stop them coming through the back fence where the gate is.
It'll be fun 🤣 hopefully will be done before next weekend 🤞
Thanks for the comment.
Much appreciated.
Martin.
New subscriber 👍 great work 👏 …love your first thought RUN 🤣 but fair play you stuck at it . Would love to see the finished product .
Thank you, I really appreciate it 😊 glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully, I'll be finishing off next week, I just need to come up with a plan 🤣
If so it'll be uploaded to RUclips on Friday night 🤞
Thanks again
Martin
