- Here is Part 2 of this yard makeover. I am now 9 hours in on this project and I've done the front yard and two sides of the house. This is a MAJOR project and I can't see myself doing half-donkey job.
Please give it a "like" and leave a comment.
Hi friend, I suggest add a plant App to your phone, and then you can take a picture of questionable plants for immediate identification. 😊
Oh Boy what a Job !! I'm glad you got to cut down the spot up front where the owner first said to save the poppies. Some of these jobs your tackling are a nightmare but you got it done and did a Great Job !! 🤗 Bless You & Take it Easy in the Heat !
The vine growing on side of house with the orange flowers are called trumpet vines, the bush on side of house with the big white flowers is called a snowball plant. Both are very common in Michigan especially up north.
Beautiful..I love ❤️ Farm 🚜 houses 🏘
Looks great! Quite a daunting task! Thank you for a wonderful video. Keep them coming!
You’re a hard working man!! Great job!!!
@@OMW1962 Thank you!!
Straw hat with tail on back works awesome along with a cooling towel light color 👒
Hard work, progress seems slow, but you have made such a difference to this home. Please be safe. Bless you! 💖💖
Good job. That yard was a mess. The green and white plants are not weeds, they are for ground cover or sometimes used to surround the taller plants. There is a plant identification app should consider putting on your phone, all you have to do is scan the plant and it will let you know the name and type of plant you are dealing with. Some are free and some are not. They are a very good tool to have when doing yard work.😊❤
Thank you for all your hard work helping others and may God bless you and your family.
Thank you!!
Great job. It was extremely overgrown. Better for the homeowner to start from scratch. It looks so much nicer now!
Thanks Susan.
Yes sometimes " less is more"
I think its best cut the overgrown stuff down they are well established and will come back next year and will look better, big job, enjoy the videos
I have NEVER seen dandelions grow that tall! WOW
Not dandelions, wild lettuce.
Great job man. Pretty stunning different view. Cheers man. 👍💪👊👍
I kinda liked the charming neglect of the before on the flower beds. 😉🤣
You're a savage!! 😂😂
You’re very kind to help out this home owner. I’m sure they understand that you don’t know what’s what. Some may grow back
Great job 👍🏽
Yes that circular centre garden Needs to go
Great job, hydrangeas will grow back, hopefully those tall bushes/weeds won't. Ground really needs digging over. The owner can now access the house to do any maintenance/painting.
Love the Jamaican attire 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Looks SO much better!
Great effort , yes agree needs bit clean out time to breath and start again
The green and white plants are snow on the mountain ground cover…grows like crazy…
That's good to know, thank you.
Great job UNMD ..can I suggest to make your life easier have the tarp out ready to throw your green waste onto to save double handling...❤
Looking “IRIE” nice song grand job 🌺🍍🌴🇺🇸✝️❤️🔥🤙🏽
@@margaretckamaka5552 Irie! 😂😂 That's awesome!
Looks like trumpet vine growing up house. Highly invasive flowering vine. Will definitely grow back. Great job!
yep, I was coming here to say that. Definitely trumpet vine, although trumpet vine is not invasive, since invasive is a term referring to non-native plants that are causing harm to the environment, and trumpet vine is a native plant. However, it is highly AGGRESSIVE, and will absolutely take over.
I don't think I've quite seen that form of "losing the front steps" before. Thanks for the rescue. There isn't really a way around doing a near clear-cut when things are let-go this much. It is good for being able to see "what is really there" as far as needed repairs, conditions. You earned your victory.
I appreciate it! I agree.
Great job God will bless you
You do a beautiful work 😍
Looking good so far. Great job!!😊
Looking very, very, very good😊😊
You are making great progress! I think the homeowners would be wise to just grow grass where that center circle of ? Plant was located. It will look nice and be easier to maintain. They obviously mow regularly. Can not wait to see the next chapter. Stay hydrated. Liked the hat. 😊
Awesome job!!
You’re a lot better man than I. The first time they suggested that they wanted to keep that mess of weeds and grass “plants” I would have said “fine, have at it”, loaded up and moved on. Not sure where their heads are at. They can’t take care of it now.
She has A LOT going on. She only wanted to keep the poppies up front, everything else I had full control of. It wasn't the homeowner that gave me grief for what I was cutting down, it was some people watching the video. :) It's all good - we're making good progress and the homeowner is thrilled with what's been done. She's been great.
@@UpNorthMowingDude good to know. You are doing folks a big favor and I just hope that they appreciate it and you. It’s hard work.
Love watching your channel. The flower beds around the house are probably the same age as the house hiven the types of flowers in the beds. You fid the right thing cutting it all back especially since snow on the mountain and trumpet vine will take over.
Thanks Karen.
The " pom pom flowers " are hydrangeas, and can be replaced easily by cuttings of origanal plant
Excellent work! WOW!!!
Thank you!
Yep, it needed to b done.😅 Now 2 put a fresh coat of white paint on there. Next Spring it will b beautiful again.
Your Oregon Viewer. We r expecting 82° this August 6th.
That is such a wonderful old homeplace. Must have been a great place to live! Good job🙂
Looks good!! Glad you mowed that patch in the front. She would have had to cut those Poppies down in the fall anyway . I like that you're doing a full transformation in a series. This place is a beautiful old farm and should be returned as such!!❤❤🎉🎉😊😊
Thanks Lynn. Yeah it's gonna take some time but I like the thought of doing it thoroughly. Around the cars and barn should be interesting. :)
I like that this is totally different than the regular houses, you'll do a great job and I'm thoroughly enjoying this transformation!!
I’m with you, all that old overgrowth around the porch should be cleared and set some nice containers in for color. Something they could maintain. A nice tiller job and some wood chips would go a long way.
Great transformation
Beautiful place. Great work.❤
Awesome job. You can really see how the beds encroached on the lawn. Were the two flowering shrubs you cut back Hydrangeas? They can take a hard prune but next year the flowers may be fewer in number. It will thrive though and now you’ve cleared round about it, it will be better for it. If the customer wants an easy to look after perennial to fill the beds, I would highly recommend Campanula portenschlagiana. It is low growing and spreads but isn’t invasive. It is also known as Russian Bellflower. The flowers are a beautiful blue colour and it has a long flowering season. You can trim it back and it doesn’t mind. I have loads of it in my garden because it is my favourite. Mine have still had blooms in the depths of a mild winter and I am in the north of Scotland!❤
Wow, now that's a transformation! This could be a beginning of a new look for this home. You don't disappoint.
I appreciate it!!
Couldn't avoid the hydrangeas, they were too long, hopefully they will come back but if they don't maybe she can get a couple new ones. Makes you feel bad I know but they were neglected. Made some progress today. :) Thank you for helping her.
Thanks Mary. Yes there was so much dead matter in those hydrangeas. Nothing wrong with new ones. :)
In the spring when all the flowers come up, if someone mulched, the hydrangeas would have a chance to thrive. The only thing you could have done for them at that point was trimming them back.
It keeps looking better and better!!
👏👏👏 Excellent job ❤
Looking good!
Wow, amazing transformation indeed! You did awesome with that front yard, and I know the homeowner is truly grateful! Keep up the amazing work and I can't wait to see what you do next!
UNMD, Doug here, never let anyone say: your old, you're "well seasoned" with life's experiences! Hey, I turn the BIG 6-0 in early November! Great work on the front yard! 🤓😇😁👍🥰🐻😀Doug, from the Royal Oak area of Michigan.
I refer to myself as mid century modern. 😜
That is a classic response! Just like a guy who is 6'8" tall-saying he's 5'20" then walks away leaving them to wallow in their stupidity. By then, they'll have figured out that 6'8" and 5'20" is the same measurement! I need to tell my sister of the "mid century modern" as a "bad dad" joke!🙄😵👍😁🤭 Doug
Great job like always you got this !!
Thanks Gary! Cheers.
People don't realize the amount of work involved in one of these clean-ups. At 17 minutes 50 seconds I thought you were going to show us Bucky Badger propping his head up on his bent elbow, laying on his left side. Ditch the plastic leaf rake. Your energy is better spent using a round tine thatching rake. You'll get twice the clearing with half the input. They fit the sweet spot between the bow rake and a leaf rake. They're not expensive. Unless lost or mowed over, they will last long enough to fit into your coffin when the time comes.
Looks great.
Wouldn’t it be nice if someone would pressure wash her house for free! The house is lovely!
Looks better! 😊
Looks so much better. Now the house needs some paint.😂.
It needs a lot. Wood is rotting, wiring exposed - it would be a costly fix.
That is what we call Trumpet Vine, Campsis Radicans, non-poisonus
Why not use a tarp to take all your clippings out to the road instead of carrying small loads...our instructor in nurses school said " use your head...save your feet"....glad you have power drinks on board...hope they help with the leg cramps.💕👍🌷🤗
Nice job as always❤
❤ Hey BUDDY, Looks like it's going GREAT, I'm NOT sure how much more you have planned for on this property but so far everything is turning into a NICE finished product, so just keep Hydrated, Cool and I will CYA SOON NEXT TIME BE SAFE and OFCOURSE KEEP CUTTIN IT UPPPPP BROTHER 🚜🌞✌️👍😁😎🔥🔥🔥💯
Thanks Deion! Cheers!!
Pena das Hortênsia terem que sair, mas ficou lindo o jardim ...perfeito parabéns ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I would suggest going to your county extension office and picking up a pamphlet on what plants are desirable and undesirable. This will tell you what to remove completely and when and how to prune desirable plants. Good luck!
He did good tho, considering what has overgrown for too long. It totally was looking like a jungle! Now it can start over with a fresh look. A job well done, Bless Brent!! 🙏😇🙏❤️
💚💚💚
The sun is out where is your hat? 😂 Sometimes you got to take it back to bare bones and start over.
Better the existing overgrown plants get a big haircut than to try and make do by minimizing and not giving the plant what it needs. The variegated white and green mounded plants in the front of the beds looks like what i have always known as "Hills of Snow", (common name), Glad you left some plants intact, (like the ferns). Great clean up.
OMG...I had to skip most of this video. My heart couldn't take all the flowers being completely taken out. It's a clean slate now and you can see the large porch ❤
The flowers were totally neglected, overgrown, and in terrible shape. Severe neglect requires extreme measures.
Because … that looks like crap!!🤣🤣 I was thinking the same thing!
✨🏆✨
Oh..sorry..I see you were using tarps.
A weed is just a plant growing where you don't wish. Remember bees love dandelions. Just saying as I never usually make my opinion known. 😂
Cool!
👍🏾
Dont forget to go and plant some of those plants in the backyard in order to always stay active 😆 i am joking 😆 you should take my suggestion of shaving your beard and also eyebrows. If you do all the shaving as i suggest, you will get more spanish/latino viewers on here 😆 also, after you complete a small task, dont forget to yell out oralé. 😆 i am joking about all i said 😆
ruclips.net/video/PEqivf7Sz-Q/видео.htmlsi=1p5M_mAB_CcKp2W_ < song 😆
I do agree you need to find out more about the plants you are dealing with.
I think I preferred the before but as I don't know your weeds I have to bow to your knowledge. I'm afraid I'm not a fan of the house yards I see from the US. No one seems to have real gardens.😢
@@isabelkerr712 Plenty of real, very nice gardens in the US. Keep in mind in these types of vids we're dealing with overgrown properties so yards and gardens won't look that great.
This total clearing is SO NECESSARY and long overdue. The lovely jungle jumble has been blocking access to every form of maintenance. The old house has those olden days windows, wherein the "storm windows" of glass are put on in fall for winter, then come spring they are removed and replaced with wood framed screen windows. A really awful job, especially on a two-story house. Plenty are broken, fallen from the grasp of the ladder climbers. Wood rots over the many years. Complete window replacement (including frames) is a necessity, but a great cost. House requires cleaning, repairing, replacement of all rotten woods before painting. (At the least). Foundations DO crumble and require qualified repairs and sealing/caulking. AFTER A LIFETIME of following "professional landscapers" really crap for planning and advice, going with the generational trends of how to "look good" with "no maintenance" etc. I WOULD ADVISE to never plant anything next to foundations. I prefer sidewalks, brick paths or cedar mulch at least 4 foot out. I was stupid and put in decorative rock. DON'T DO IT! Breaks windows, siding, vehicles and people and pets as will get flung by mowers, snow-throwers, etc. forever.
Yes, some of these perineal planting could be dug up and moved outward or elsewhere. I would FIRST "Call before you DIG" as there are ALWAYS various types of utilities buried entering around every house. Some are natural gas, many others propane. People OFTEN think their phone lines are one of those many wires from a pole, but more often they are under ground, even too rural! Some places have buried electrical lines. (You never know what some DIYer may have planted!) Therefore, having it roto-tilled could be deadly!
The old house needs attention. Keep it cleared, hold a clearance path. No more "out of sight, out of mind, out of luck, out of duty of care." No more "nobody told me"!
[To keep the way cleared, I might spray with roundup, cover with thick plastic and have successfully used outdoor rubber mats (without the fuzzy carpet). Mulch, not rock. If you have digging dogs, they might ruin your various landscape fabrics and NONE allow the soil to be even naturally supplemented. Do not plants deep rooted plants by foundations! QUIT looking around and following bad examples!
Thanks for listening to tried and tested FAILURES proven false. Old ladies often know way more, especially when they did it all while guys "looked good". Take care there, Mowing Dude"! The good old days are while one still CAN. :) Kris of MN
Dang man, surgery without anesthesia. What makes you think it will be properly maintained in the future?
I don't think it will be maintained properly in the future.
Evidently this man doesn’t know much about flowers! He just butchered the front of this house! Hard to watch the slaughter!
I know I said this last week but it bears repeating. This is not a 1 man job. Please get some help. All for free? I commend you.
Thanks. Not too many people want to work in this heat, especially at 8am on a Saturday. 🙂 I don't mind doing it myself, and yes it's all free. Just meant to be a blessing to others.
But why can't the home owner, maintain their property, especially when I see them driving a 60...000 dollar vehicle, but I digress.
I mentioned that already - she's working 16 hour shifts as a nurse and taking care of her ill father. I'm not sure how much energy you'd have after a 16 hour day but I wouldn't have much.
Use a hedge trimmer
Is that what you use when you do free yard makeovers for people?
@@UpNorthMowingDude yes it is
I would suggest that you learn your weeds from bedding plants/flowers & ground covers. .. you removed more than you probably should have. My mom would have kicked your butt! Lol
There was as much grass as there was flowers/ground cover. Flower beds should be "beds" of soil. Ground cover isn't really supposed to grow in lawns.
@@UpNorthMowingDude, not true my friend, ground cover is used in front of garden beds all the time. They just needed to be cut back. The good thing is, she was happy and can now plant other shrubs or flowers. Taking the middle garden out was wonderful, made it look so much better. You did a great job. Hydrangeas just needed to be pruned, I have 8 of them throughout my yard. Love your channel.
@@carolgadles7045I love his channel also, he does a Great Job !! 👌❤️🤗
LOL, "trying to be careful not to cut down the flowers" ...ya could'a fooled me...like an elephant in a china shop. Otherwise, good job.
I was being careful around those particular flowers I was working around. The other ones had to go. That elephant in a china shop had to hack through a decade of neglect.
@@UpNorthMowingDude Well, I know what you mean, there does come a time when the only thing to do is to start over. I just so love these old flower beds.
@@23Josilee If it was my house I'd dig up those flower beds, get some nice dirt in there, and re-plant. Could be really beautiful.
Those are not dandilions! Please learn more about flowers, and flowering bushs
It's people like you that make me not want to do this anymore. Thankfully the homeowners I'm helping don't give a crap if I name a weed wrong.
TOO LATE, YOU CUT DOWN MOST OF THE FLOWERS ALREADY!!! YOU WERE NOT VERY CAREFUL!
@@FlatulEssence Zzzzz
@@UpNorthMowingDude you did good!! 👌 After the neglect of this yard not being taken care of for so long, I definitely would have told you to just hack it all down! Lol.. You did a Great Job and a job well done! 🤗
@@GoldenNugget. Thanks Clare!
sure wouldn't want you doing my flower beds as i am sure you don;t have a clue what flowers are what. Not saying you don;t do a good job
I think he did well with the overgrowth he had to deal with. It will be good to start over now with a new fresh look. Also there are much needed repairs that the home owner can now see and tackle. Bless him for his kind deed of helping these people. 🙏😇🙏
