City Ignores & Allows SIDEWALKS To Go To WASTE So I Cleaned Them Up For FREE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- I decided to revisit an old sidewalk that i've kept my eye on over the years. I always thought the city would get them cleaned up. However, as you can see, it has never happened! Out of curiosity, I decided to check the old google maps photos of this corner. I was shocked to find out that these sidewalks, along with the ones around it, have not been touched for over 15 years. I'm not too sure what was on this land before, but I assume by the stairways, it could have had 3 homes on it, or a possible park? Not too sure. Either way, they both will look like new soon. Hope you enjoy this one! The other side will get done as well. Have a great day, and be a blessing to your community :)

Who's responsible for sidewalk maintenance in your city?
property owner adjacent to sidewalk
Great question
Public property is supposed to be the ‘communities’ responsibility
However- where I live I take care of walkways and boulevard- trees are left to be trimmed by the wind
Otherwise- empty lots - depends on ownership and over here- it doesn’t matter- small town dive like a ghetto - over here in Sk Canada🇨🇦
* I’m NOT a ‘home owner’ neither
In Shreveport, it seems to be no one's responsibility.
Town
That premier thing you had, is an automatic cigarette roller. You put tobacco in that chamber and then pull a handle (that is missing) and it stuffs the tobacco into an empty cigarette tube.
Awesome job as always. Love the videos!
Thanks for the info!
Yep, just going to say this. My late husband preferred to roll his own (with a brand of loose tobacco to avoid "additives") and used one of these. It's called an "injector".
@@GraeMatterz My mom had one just like that too! Wow memories!
I had to look it up but yep, a cigarette machine.
Cigarette Injector Machine retails for $46 on A-zon.
We applaud your community sprit. My girlfriend and I are kayakers, and we collect garbage on the rivers, lakes, and streams we paddle on. You are an inspiration for all of us. Thank you.
Thank you for helping clean the world :)
Though I do not live where you are, Thank You because you too are doing a service!! If everyone pitched in we would have some beautiful communities!!
@@fillslawncare hi, what is so excellent wide brush device at your electric trimmer, what is a brand and type ? Never seen such brush. Does your facemask nicely defend your face of all work dust ? And - you are really nice worker 👍
You deserve a commendation from the city for your work in my opinion…
Very nice work honey , your a good man
They'd probably just fine him for disturbing the peace
@@Freezinggreece2 they'd call the police for a suspicious person loitering and the police would come and pull their guns fearing for their lives that it looked like he had a weapon. 🙄
@@pamjarvis2601 definitely
He should get paid
Medals dont feed you
U r my kind of people. I keep my neighborhood clean. I'm 65 now, & still doing it. So glad u r helping in your neck of the woods. It looks so much nicer! Your Oregon Viewer.
I’m glad you came along to help this neighborhood. For neglected areas, people may feel that no one cares. I’ve lived in the older downtown neighborhoods. Makes me wish I had the resources to restore it back to a former glory!
Unfortunately neglect breeds neglect, and trash attracts more trash. I really appreciate the kind of community work this guy does, and hopefully people will have more respect for this area now it's been cleaned up.
More landscapers need to use that rotary brush. They too often even resort to using a power washer and the mud is crazy. You've done an amazing job 😊
I'd imagine a grand old house used to sit on that lot so many years ago, and the walk ways in good condition. At least you've made them accessible to the neighborhood. Wonderful! Keep spreading the love! ❤ 34:15
That brush roller is awesome, Fill! Absolutely love watching you clean up the nasty curbs and sidewalks!👍🏻💙💚 Here, all sidewalks are the responsibility of the property owner; spreading the liability! If your tree damages the sidewalk, you are responsible for the repair AND here the repair must be an approved contractor, no DIY.
That brush is doing a great job of getting the leftover dirt off the sidewalk! Well worth the cost & makes it look so much better! Really a nice outcome!
R' S mom 80 years old.04/07/2023. Watched your video Fill. Truly glad you remembered to wear your gloves.loved that brush you used on the curbs,sidewalks and street.must be they don't have a city street brush for their street pavements/ roads..definitely a wow transformation. Your hands must thank you for wearing your gloves.be safe Fill.Iam a subscriber. Your working for free shows your kindness. Keep yourself and family safe.
Another awesome video, Fill. Speaking as someone who works for a city, we don’t have enough employees to take care of our own property, like all the parks, cemetery, airport, and ditches. Historically, in the summer we hire seasonal maintenance workers for all the extra work like nuisance properties when people won’t mow and take care of their own. We can’t get enough full-time people let alone summer help now. In our city sidewalks are the homeowners responsibility. Unfortunately that kind of thing falls to the bottom of the list when it comes to what’s the most important thing to do for our city.
Thank you for sharing, Stacey. This information is very helpful. Although, I know each city is different.
The list needs to be revised because as it exists now, its failing.
You are a great asset to your community. Good thing the soil was moist otherwise it would have been tougher to shovel it off. Nifty sidewalk sweeper. Blessings/peace
I find it so gratifying to see a great trim job.
Thank you 😊
That brush attachment is the bomb! What a back saver as well as a time saver cleaning up all the dirt that collects on the sidewalks & in the curb areas. That section of sidewalk looks great! 👌 👍👊🤟
We have a crew that works for our city that mows all city areas and sidewalk areas, but I notice a lot of homeowners take on the areas in front of their houses because they want to or their lawn service does it. Our city is good about trimming trees or whatever if you call them for city property. First time I’ve seen a brush attachment on RUclips! Great job, but a big job! - watching from Lake Wales,Florida
Great clean up and restoration! I really like what the brush can do--it's hard to get everything with just a shovel. You did a super service for that community. The city should follow your example!
what a jewel you are. I never realized how much clearing a sidewalk made everything look so much better. Keep it up, you are a good man
You are absolutely meticulous. I love the work that you do. Thank you for setting a wonderful example on how to care for your community. ❤
Appreciate what you do especially with the trash litter is one of my biggest pet peeves. I make sure everyday I pick up at least ten pieces of trash while on my walks.
Thank you for doing good deeds for your city :)
@@fillslawncare nope thank you what I do is next to nothing and I should always do more. But seeing litter always upsets me as it should everyone
God bless you Fill for making a difference in cleaning up the city! Just think of the difference we all could make!
That was some excellent shoveling Sir. And that brush does work great on that compacted dirt. Well done. And it will be appreciated by the walkers. And there are obviously many of those. Thank you for the service and picking up garbage.
Thank you for doing that clean up! I don't live anywhere near you, but I will say you are one thoughtful man. To take it upon yourself to do all that work is so kind of you. Love the power brush, really does a great job!😊
I just love the big brush! It’s like the best thing ever to clean up sidewalks. I’m a big fan.
That brush attachment makes for an amazing tool!
Yes it does!
Wow what a huge difference you made to the neighborhood, and what a great tool the brush attachment is! It keeps the amount of dust in the air to a minimum. And all that trash you picked up, unbelievable. 👌💪🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love the sidewalk cleaning videos. I think it's also a wonderful thing to do for the people in the community that use those sidewalks on a regular basis. It not only makes them look really nice, it also makes them safer for people to use, especially people who may have a disability or difficulty walking. I really hope that, in addition to the lawn videos, you continue doing the "sidewalk series" too. Very satisfiying to watch. Good job and look forward to the next video! Take care!
Never seen a brush attachment but it was really awesome how it helped clean the street and sidewalk. Great job!!! 👏 👏 👏
We have a problem with old ordinances and laws. As our city has developed and expanded with new neighborhoods, they now require sidewalks. They didn't used to. So now we have a bunch of "sidewalks to nowhere ". They don't connect. It's still not fixing the issues for the disabled, or another forgotten bunch, the people for whatever reason that don't drive. I like your power broom. It seems faster and more directionally precise than the blower. Better than blowing dust every time. Nice to have that choice.
Thank you for sharing, Jackie 😊
Damn. That brush attachment was awesome. Super cool and I haven't seen it before in other lawn care youtube channels. Really satisfying results on camera too!
You're the one who's amazing! As you see the need, you go out & make your community better. Thank you for all the hard work you do.
Awesome clean-up, nice to have someone like you in that city. Empty lots can equal trouble, but keeping the area clean helps. Koodos!!
Couldn't help but laugh when you went back for your gloves!
Almost forgot! Lol
I have add another comment and that is the brush attachment that you are using. You are the only lawn care person that has used that attachment. You showed just how great that attachment is! Many thanks
You made a world of a difference just by cleaning up that side walk. Thanks for picking up the trash for the neighborhood.
That brush is amazing! It cuts through packed dirt like butter. I loved the dirt rooster tail flying off the side!
Fill you have taken on another difficult job, it’s got to be so energy consuming. God Bless you for it. No one else cares and that’s the problem we are having in this society. Love you for your efforts. 🙏🙏❤️
So many things to say but first thank you for caring, for doing and for showing that we all have the ability to make a difference in our communities. People will benefit from that cleared sidewalk and trash removal. And that brush is going to be on everyone’s must have list. ❤
Great job Fill! I love the attachment. Thanks for helping out the community and for sharing the video.
Thank you for watching and the support 😊
I got you figured out now Fill, you love snow shoveling so much you just can't quit come springtime 😊
Beautiful workmanship 👏👏👏
I feel for you , Shoveling puts a strain on your back , You did a great job , I like your broom , looks like it does a good clean-up
Thank you Jerry :)
My son worked for landscaping companies for 12 years and never saw one of those wire brushes. What an awesome tool for your 'arsenal' ! I love these videos of city properties being cleaned up and the 'guesswork' of what used to be there. I vote for mansion--one of those big square ones with all the gingerbread and the 'widow's watch' at the very top!! Also-I don't know what the garbage collection is like in that city, but we have regular trash and recycling with those giant plastic bins that get emptied with a truck. Well, on garbage day, they go around on their route and eventually they have to dump the front bin. When it lifts up, if there is any wind at all, a bunch of stuff blows all over the place. That is the source of alot of our litter in my city. Maybe there, too.
The square metal item you found is a cigarette roller. The top has lost its arm.
Je od vás hezké a obetave že takhle pomáháte městu, když sami nejsou schopni. Přeji vám hodně štěstí a Božího požehnání. 👍👏🌿🌹
Amazing work fill! As always! I'm looking forward to the next video! This is truly hard work and your body must be really sore but it's definitely appreciated.
Love your work! I’ve missed seeing your videos lately for some reason! You
are one of my favorite lawn maintenance videoers! (Is that a word?). 😀
Wow, thank you! Mean a lot to me 😊
WOW... that brush assessory is wicked slick! Loved this transformation!!
Amazing clean up...yes why do people throw their trash in public areas...keep up good work.
Do not know that one, always thought if there was a trash can at the end of the blocks, people would throw their trash in it. But having worked at a gas station, needing to clean the parking lot at night, I have seen people changing their babies dirty diapers. not even walk just a couple steps to put it a trash can, that was not even half full, they just threw it on the ground right were they were standing got in the car and drove away, that is how lazy or just entitled alot of people are.
I totally love the work you do, I have the up most respect for you and all the work and effort you put in to helping the communities within all the area to provide this free service for... So from me to you on behalf of everyone whom gets to enjoy your labour thank you a million
Thank you for sharing your work. You are making a difference in your community.
Thank you for watching :)
Amazing! Community has got to love it. Wonder if property owners just pay the fine instead of paying someone to do upkeep? Bless you-it looks great!
That was an epic transformation. The brush tool is fantastic too !
Great job! I love the tool you used to clean up the gutters and sidewalk. It certainly makes it easier instead of all that shoveling!
The city or local council as we call it in the UK don’t care either. There are also soooo many potholes in the roads that need mending. We need more Fills in the UK!
Thank you 😊
Great job! Your doing something for the people that live in that neighborhood. While city workers are leaning on shovels, you are using one!!
That REALLY looks nice now Fill. Love that Brush attachment. Yes...I agree with you 💯 percent. Littering is DISGUSTING!❤❤❤
LOVE THE WORK YOU DO 🥰
Thank you!! 😊
How many people drove by and said that trash is someone else's responsibility....Really sad that people don't care . I work at a county landfill and I'm a scale operator ...weighing in commercial trucks and other vehicles and in the summer I cut ALL the grass for this site as well as picking up the trash that isn't able to be put in the right spot that most people just look at and say " "It's The Landfill who cares where it blows to and goes " " ...I know that what you're doing what you know in your heart is right by doing and going above and beyond maintaining these properties is GREAT but Not Many People Will Say W O W ""Fill"" Did This!!!...I'm Proud To Say I Know You're The One Who Is Doing This In Your Area!!! WTG Fill Your Awesome In Everyway,...Just Wish More People Knew!!!!
Thanks John. You're amazing!
These types of videos are my favorite to watch of yours, the edging. Btw, you’re also my favorite lawn care guy to watch… I like your attention to detail and how you remind everyone to go out and be a blessing to others. 😁
Great job, Fill! That sidewalk made a huge difference in the neighborhood. Thank you for leaving your bloopers in the video. Sorry, but I laughed out loud when you stepped on the shovel. 😄 Love it! By the way, the Premier Supermatic is a roll your own cigarette machine for loose tobacco and tubes. That one looks like it needs a garbage can in the worst way. Keep on doing what you do best. You made my day! ❤️
You are my favorite lawn channel because you are so good at shoveling
It actually looks like that area of town could use some love. Sad when places neglect certain areas vs trying to restore them 😤
Amazing transformation, but do you get any recognition for all of your hard work doing this kind of thing? Is the city aware of how much money you've saved them by doing this for them? I think you should be commended for undertaking such a task!!
I get good comments from you guys. And sometimes people walking by :)
A big Wow for that brush that you use. It is the most useful piece of equipment that I've ever seen. The street looks beautiful. Too bad the backdrop is an empty lot. Thank you. God bless you for the work you're doing for Him.
Awesome job Fill, it looks so nice now. I think a house used to be there. It seems people litter more now days than when I was your age. I don't understand that attitude. Thank you for cleaning it up. ❤
Great job. I agree about littering. When my mom was alive she lived in a very nice neighborhood. She had a small ditch running along the road in front of her house. There were always soda cans and bottles in the ditch. My mom was 87 years old! Why do people think that it is ok to throw trash out the window of your car into someone's yard? Great reminder. Thank you.
Homeowners and businesses are responsible for sidewalks, city employees take care of drainage and maintenance. Good work!
I have never seen anyone else use the brush attachment before. Great tool.
I love I'm the UK and it's the local councils responsibility to maintain all sidewalks and public areas.
A man amongst scholars. All i can say is "perfect "!👍🏻💯 yes, the City should give you an accommodation for the phenomenal work you do for the city.
Thanks for caring and making a difference.
That looks like it may have been a park. What a shame that kids can't even use it!. What a great job you've done for it already!
What a backbreaking job! My back started to hurt just watching you. But it looks amazing. You are such a good Samaritan to pick up all that trash and I agree with you, I hate to see people throw stuff on the ground (especially dog poop). I look forward to the next part of this makeover. You do awesome work; it looks 100% better. Lastly, that brush you use is an awesome tool.
Lol that's a cigarette roller! Also be careful just reaching into the leaves like that. Needles are everywhere!
You are a kindred spirit! I agree there is too much apathy to pick up all the trash! God bless you!
Great job! I have never seen a brush like that. Pretty amazing. Such a great investment. Also, I'm with you on the littering. I'm not able to pick it up but I decided a long time ago that I was not going to contribute to it. Way back in the early 70s they ran a PSA on TV that featured a Native American named Iron Eyes Cody and came to be known as 'The Crying Indian'. It was an anti-littering campaign and it was very effective. I wish more people were aware of the impact of their actions in that regard. Once again, great work. Keep it up. You're making a huge difference for these communities.
Greatings from The Netherlands, again with big respect for your effort and the amazing result. The community and city can only be proud that someone is taking care of those situations.
Please continue with what you are doing. Stay save and have a nice day. Regards, Paul
❤Never seen that brush attachment before. Awesome addition to your tool shed. Bet we'll start seeing it often.
That looked like an old antenna box for the top of the tv, up step up from the old rabbit ears. That power broom sure does a great job with those packed down leaves and dirt. The trash is a maddening, I live on a main road and try to keep my property nice, never fails that folks driving by seem to delight in throwing trash out the window for me to clean up.
That brush attachment was cool! Great that you picked up the trash, littering irritates me as well. Greetings from Sweden!
I really like that brush attachment. I hvnt seen it on any other channels. Pretty Cool 😎
What a spectacular piece of work! That brush attachment 8s a marvel!
First time seeing the brush attachment, awesome tool! I'm so glad to see your video pop up on my feed. It seems like forever since I've had one. The before and after pics are great. You are amazing!!!! God bless you and yours.
I was surprised by number of people that walked by on that block. Your work will be appreciated by many in neighborhood.
Fantastic job! I'd like watching you clean-up the entire block and vacant lot (one video/day at a time!). 💪🏽🍃🌿🌱💪🏽.
It looks so much better. I like that you wear a mask and respirator. Be careful picking up trash. You never know what you might put your hand on. Awesome job 😊
City don't care
Yep
Great job! Hope the city would give you some recognition for your hard work.
Part 3 should be mow the lot! A job well done sure makes a difference!❤
Excellent One Man Clean up Crew versus the City Officials. There no such thing as "Free" when citizen pays their Taxes for City Officials to clean up and upgrade Sidewalks and Public Parks; yet, one Local man end up doing it because it's the responsible way to do for his community well being. Kudos.
If I was staying anywhere near the works you are doing, I would definitely come and thank you personally. Keep up the good work. May God bless you manifold in return
Nice job Fill! That brush attachment is a handy little do-dad!
Your love of our earth is so heart warming❤
Love that power brush. Great job as usual. My back hurt just watching you shovel the sidewalks
You did such a good job and it looked so hard. God bless you and what you do. My brother used to go out in his wheelchair with a grabber and pick up stuff from the street in front of his house. He got stuck one day and two women came by and helped him get out
Totally understandable. I've always despised littering. Even when I was younger. I just don't understand why people can't get their trash in the trash! This earth is not for us to make a mess of 🤦♀️ so I truly applaud you for the work you've done, with the sidewalk & the cleanup 🙏
You’ve made a nice tidy job for that community
Well done 👍
My favorite tool is the brush attachment. Something about it is very satisfying =) haven't seen any others use something like this. You got my support!!
My city does nothing in my sixties I had two feet of snow did my sidewalks took about six hours because he couldn't see the curb when he turned he covered my sidewalk. I have a corner lot. The city threaten me with a ticket for not doing the corner. You do wonderful work. Your electric broom works a treat.
I bet a beautiful house sat on that corner at one time. Every little bit helps to improve a neighborhood. Good work!
I really love that brush attachment you have. It doses a nice job. I’m enjoying your videos. You do an awesome job on the edging. It always looks so finished 😊
I have never seen that brush thing before- that's pretty cool!
