I got a tip off email about a house that was getting super overgrown in this neighborhood. So, I ran to my truck and drove over there as quick as I could. Low and behold, there was this abandoned home that looked like it hadn’t been mowed in quite some time. I spoke with the next door neighbor and he didn’t know much about it but as I was working the neighbor who sent me the email came over to say hi and he knew a lot more about the house. Turns out an older lady used to live here but ended up having to go into a nursing home. She couldn’t keep up with the taxes or the payments on the house, so it went up for auction and the city ended up buying it. The neighbor said the grass never gets cut anymore and he sometimes sees the fire department come over and do drills in the attic. So I thought I could at least get it looking better for the neighborhood again and clean up the sidewalk, making it usable for the neighbors.

City gives out tickets for not mowing your yard. Yet when they bought it, they don't keep up the yard either.
They didn't buy it they stole it with the laws they don't follow themselves
That's city politics for ya they promise you one thing but do just the opposite of what they agreed to do
. That's why I don't like city officials!
Politics or civil service is the art of determining the least amount of effort that will not result in job loss.
another classic example of rules for thee, not for me.
So typical for local governments these days. It's not about the tall grass, it's about the money!
Exactly the same way for this website!
He doesn't care about doing a good job, just making a quick buck!
All he typically does is mow and go!
no trimming, minimal, if any, edging, zero raking/catching and lots of patting himself on the back!
Never trims any trees or removes any trash.
But Hey! He's helping people!
Just ask him.
@@Kinann
Let's see U do a better job. OR jump in & assist him while he's cleaning up for the neighborhood.
@@theresafradette37 THAT tired argument again?
ANYONE could do a better job than this guy. I used to mow lawns as a business, what did YOU do? I'd help any of them. Except this guy.
@@Kinann You are the typical lying leftist, who lies to defend statism.
There should be no governments.
Somebody needs to make some noise. They can't enforce code violations if they don't take care of their own! Neighbors can show up at city council meetings, embarrass them, what a disgrace. Great for you Spencer, AWESOME AS ALWAYS!!!!
Or a neighbor could maintain the lawn every couple of weeks.
If they did Spencer wouldn't have a RUclips channel. Let the man do his transformations. He's a Beast
The city should pay you for this. Them not doing their duty. How sad. You are such a good person.
@melissaszuch1560 Re the city should pay him: The city probably doesn't have it in their "budget" to pay for man hours to have the lawn mowed. And I don't understand why the neighbors close by cannot coordinate a lawn mowing schedule to maintain the tall grass. C'mon!
Hes making yoo toobe money.
@@awilliams5007 He's still making people a favour by doing so, lol.
@@awilliams5007He'd make an awful lot more doing real customer lawn care! RUclips relies on a lot of work! By the time the camera equipment is paid for and all the hours that editing takes is added up, his real lawn and cement washing would pay more!
@@jaykb6587 Trust me, no he wouldn't make more running his own real lawn care business. He's making millions a year making these videos along with his merch and sponsorship. With over 2 millions subscribers and people often watch his entire videos his view time has gotta be insane. Trust me. I'm not very big but I've been making content for over 8 years. My guess is he makes easily 2-3 million a year (could be a lot more) between both this channel and his Power Washing one. Also, he has no employees, he edits his own videos. To run a lawncare business that would generate this much income he would have to hire employees and that means insurance and a lot less total income for him. He never tells the people he wants to do this for free because the video will generate thousands of dollars because it looks bad on him I guess. Spenser is a great guy for doing this and he absolutely deserves to make every dime he earns doing this but don't be fooled because he makes a fortune on RUclips.
The city should issue a fine to itself.
LOL!!! I agree 🤣
💯
I agree
@@fbj73 yeah....
Exactly my thoughts! And they should really be ashamed of themselves.
Okay neighbors! Next time someone gets a lawn notice, take it to court and show this video!
Great video and super work Spencer! Kudos to the neighbor who contacted you!
Exactly!
I sent him the email so he would have content. Getting views gets him the recognition he deserves after everything he has done for the different communities.
The city owes you payment for this outstanding job!!! ❤❤
Hes getting paid.yoo toobe
Not Bagging the clippings?
@joannemitchell2529 🤣🤣🤣Good luck on that.Although I totally agree with you.👍
Do you really think that he wants to get involved in this conversation with "the city"?
Man. What a difference! I can imagine how thankful the neighbors must be now that they don't have to look at that mess. Great job, Spencer!! 🎉🎉
Sounds like the government. Do as I say, not as I do. Laws for us but not them. God Bless you for helping the neighborhood. Looks much better.❤❤❤❤❤
That whole area becomes a hazard for the neighborhood. The city should be held accountable!
Exactly!!!!
Even these foreclosed homes no upkeep on them - bank owns it ! They need held accountable too ! Someone always owns it .
Yeah....8 YEARS?? wow----Thank you for your Service, Spencer! Although, I don't think that the feral kitties are going to think much of your handywork.
The city always in a rush to fine the homeowner, but when they take possession of the property, suddenly nobody cares what it looks like. Of course, the city isn't making money on fines anymore so they simply don't care. That's just how it works. Thank you for improving the entire neighborhood, tenfold.
Do you realize the city makes money from taxes and taking the house eliminates taxes on it?
Wow so even the city won’t send anyone out to keep it clean. Thanks for helping the neighborhood out by cleaning it up. Great job Spencer! Have a great weekend with Ms. SB!!
What are they going to do, fine themselves?
That is a beautiful house. Its a shame that the city doesn't do anything with that property. A nice family could rent the house, with the option to purchase it. You did a fantastic job Spencer. Have a great day my friend ❤️🙂⚘️🚜.
I have never heard of a city purchasing a house. Worse thing is they did purchase it but don’t maintain it. They will have to post that it is not livable and demolish it. Sad. Just sell it city. Don’t be selfish. City does not need it; if they did, they would have done something good with it already. Great job on the mowing and cleaning it all up. Yay! You are awesome!!! 🙏🏽😃❤️
The sad thing is that they used taxpayers' money to purchase it
@@rosemariemello6675Right?
I would be surprised if the city bought it. Cities aren’t in the business of owning properties. What typically happens is the owners stop paying property taxes. After at least five years of unpaid taxes, the property goes on a sheriff’s sale. If no one bids on it, then it automatically reverts to the county. Likely the county has totally forgotten that they own it.
Agreed that the structures are beyond repair and should be condemned and torn down. Clear the property and sell the lot to a builder that wants to improve the neighborhood. Nice work Spencer!!
Shame on you City!!!!
Ironic. City complains about tall grass but can't maintain it when the now own the property
How sad yet another house empty there are so many people who could use a house the city should auction it off
Their's a housing crisis in the U.S., but the problem isnt we don't have enough houses/apartments. It's that the banks owns the houses, and won't release their holding on it to sell.
The city bought the house at auction?
Probably a situation where only the land has value. The improvements are so unmaintained that the building will probably have to be torn down. That’s why at the original auction nobody bid on it. Making it habitable will cost more than the value of the building.
It's amazing to me that these places aren't taken over by the homeless! At least that would get some people out of rain and snow...
@@jaykb6587they would just trash the house further. And when they try to keep warm they end up setting the house on fire. Its lose/lose situation.
It is crazy to me with how small those front yards on all those houses are, that none of the neighbors can take 15 minutes while they are mowing their own yard, to mow the front of that yard too. Absolutely ridiculous. They would rather have their property value go down than take a little of their own time and gas to do it. If the city could fine the former residents, then the neighbors should be able to fine the city for owning a house with a nuisance yard.
Live at the beach and have no yard.
I used to live in a town home community. EVERY time I cut mine I also cut the other 5 houses in the same group. Now they were townhouses with small yards, BUT it didn't take much effort or time to do all six. I just felt like doing it. At my current house, I was cutting mine and the two houses on either side. Much more grass and time, but I wanted to do it. I agree with you. Only a little effort and time.
Thank you! Could not agree more. Ridiculous they would rather do nothing and live next door waiting on the city to do something.
I think that this was the first time I have seen a BUSH being taken down by a weed-whacker. I did not know you could do that. But then this is Spencer and he uses a lawn mower on TREES. Good job, and thank you.
Someone should take the issue before the city council, and ask them why they are not taking care of the property. And, why they bought it in the 1st place.
Exactly. Did the politicians ask their constituents if they could buy the property? Nope, they just blow money because it’s not from their pockets and no accountability.
Unfortunately my job was eliminated today. But watching your video reassured me that there are still great people in this world
Why does the city buy these places, become big brother hypocrites and do the exact thing they fine people for and board up said houses to rot? Anyone knows it's harder on homes to set vacant than be lived in.
So true someone should fine the city they would deserve it.
SHAME ON THE CITY FOR NOT MAINTAINING THEIR OWN Property! Your are doing all of the neighborhoods you clean-up a GREAT service. Hopefully your generosity will inspire others to spent some of their own goodness to help others.
I never realized, until I started watching video of guys like you that cleanup vacant yards, how many homes are just abandoned. It is such a same. I am Canadian and many of our cities have adopted a Vacant Home Tax (which is significant) to help combate homelessness. I hope more communities start doing the same thing so more people will have homes. Great job Spencer❤❤❤
Yeah they can keep that in Canada, I don't want the government to tell me what to do with my property.
Spencer, you turned this one around to look so much better!!! It was a nice gesture that someone put a cat box home for the cats in the area. Hopefully, they are getting the cats spayed & neutered as well. Spencer, have a great rest of your week, too!!!
Typical.Laws for thee and not for me.😒🙄
Yup well said smh
All of the neighbors to these houses should go to the city council meetings & demand that these houses are taken care of or sold to some one who will take care of them.
❤
Most municipalities operate like this. Not surprised at all.
Keep up the good work
The neighbors must be so grateful to you! As a side note….never change your “trademark” SB Mowing, out. No matter how many times I see your videos, that always makes me laugh!
The local residents MUST COMPLAIN ABOUT THE CITY'S LACK OF MAINTAINING THIS PROPERTY. The lady's family should sue the City for harassment and forcing them to sell, just so the City can buy the house for a very cheap price, and then continue to neglect the property.
Kudos to the man that brought this yard to Spencer's attention -- what an improvement for the neighborhood!!
Cant the neighbors serve the city with mowing notices? Several years ago our county was having a bad infestation of thistles. The county was sending out notices to farmers all over the county. Even after they had tried to keep them down. One farmer got mad and sent the county notices to clean their ditches because they were causing the problems to get worse by not mowing. Took a notice or two but they finally started mowing and spraying the ditches. It was a win win for all, not just the county, as them doing their job helped the farmers do their job (better)
Wow that city should be ashamed that they fine people but then do not take care of the property that they own. The city should pay you for cleaning that up on top of what you would make from the video, Great job as always Spencer.
You know, that sounds just like the city to do something like this!
Hey Spencer! I'm ready for my SB MOWING FRIDAY 🎉🎉
Again you out did yourself. Great job. Have a wonderful weekend. Peace out
Have just recently discovered SB Mowing. In all the episodes I have watched not once has a homeowner ever offered Spencer a cold drink, hot drink or even a cookie or two. When he has spoken with a neighbour of an abandoned house not once have I seen the neighbour offer Spencer anything. Have people in your country forgotten how to show kindness, generosity and gratitude? I find it quite disturbing.
I would. It is disturbing I agree
It's typical of our current American culture, unfortunately
Just because we don't see in the video, it doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't happen. These are all edited, so he may edit that content out.
I saw one where a lady gave him a cooler full of snacks and drinks and told him he could use the bathroom while he worked if needed i forgot which video it was but there are kind people out there
My Mum, a wee Scottish granny used to make sandwiches, tea,coffee or soup depending on the time of year for any workmen in the street. A few years ago we were having some major work done on our house in November, we had to move out of the house, and there was my Mum making food and drinks for all the “workies” each day, sadly you don’t see much of that happening these days. She was totally awesome! I asked her why she did that, her reply was It’s nice to be nice . Miss her everyday ❤
I think that was the best commercial ive ever heard, delivered by a youtuber. Dude you do amazing work. Thanks for leading the way.
Send the city a bill for unkept property. Disgraceful they fine residents but fail to maintain their own property 😡
It's not likely that he wants to get involved in THAT hassle...
@@GuyWithTheDogs I was more thinking the other residents as they're the ones affected. Do it as a fine as a passive protest.
It’s great watching these yards you do Spencer, go from trashed, to treasured. We thank you, even if the city doesn’t!

Great job! 👍👍
It's interesting that the city will fine people for not maintaining their lawn..... yet NOW that the city OWNS it they don't mow, etc. and I'm sure they're not being fine. Hmmmmm...
If the neighbors know the situation, why couldn't they take turns at least of keeping the sidewalk clean? Great job!
Should be city’s job . They own it. Neighbors need to band together and ask what is being done here ! How much longer do we have to put up with this ?
@@junedimond1693Absolutely! If they will fine any other homeowner for it, then the same law should apply to homes owned by the city!
@@junedimond1693 Yes, I agree. However, if the city hasn't taken care of it in 8-9 years I would at the very least make sure the sidewalks are able to be cleared and safe to use.
City has nerve giving her a notice clean up yard ! Now that they own the property- they let it get out of hand. Neighbors need to post a notice on city hall - list address of their property they own and tell them they have 30 days to clean their property they own !!
Absolutely correct
Have you ever thought about doing a video going back to an abandoned property you done back in the day to see how it's holding up now? I think that would be interesting to watch. I've always wondered how those properties look after a couple of years.
I guess judgmental people would enjoy such a thing. Others, not so much.
@@GuyWithTheDogs I guess some people will find any reason to be insulted these days but to each their own. Also I like your dogs got a pit myself.
Thanks Spencer, incredible transformation. You did what a city could not! Saved another house from drowning in overgrowth. The life guard of lawns!🌿
Yay a afternoon watching Spencer doing another terrific job
Spencer truly embodies the concepts of "community care" and "neighbor". The City should be paying him! I subscribed and joined.😊😊
One of the best in awhile. Such a benefit to the neighborhood. Well done.
"The city owns it and does nothing." Others get violations notices. Great job Spencer. The neighbors will appreciate it.
Good Morning Spencer! It is so great that you continue to find the strength and stamina to continue your quest to help clean up these neglected and abandoned properties! Thank you for all you do! Be safe, stay healthy! Wishing you and Mrs SB a very pleasant day! 💕
Is it a bad thing that sometimes I drop off to sleep while watching these videos? I used to be able to do yard work and I loved it! I had almost 3 acres of yard so I'd put my headphones on, climb onto the ride-on mower and sing at the top of my lungs. I'm disabled now with a tiny lawn that my landlord ignores. The sounds of lawn machines put me to sleep. 😆😆😆
The city should fine itself for not mowing
Spencer you continue to amaze me and restore my faith in humanity. I am so very proud of you.
When, Spencer always says, “If you’d like to help me just a little bit further,” I always envision him saying, “get off your lazy asses and cut your grass and clean your driveways once in awhile. I can’t clean all these dumps up by myself!”
Oh my ! That’s hilarious!!!!
Lots of love for you and for everything you do for others... A 70 year old mother...
Awesome transformation. 😊😊 Great job making the neighborhood look better!
It looks sooooo much better Spencer! Thank you for giving a hoot when so many haven’t for a very long time!!
Much love and hugs to you and Mrs SB!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Sadly it's so typical of a town ,county or village to do just what they've done. The neighbors on the block should get together and sue the city for neglence in a class action law suit for devaluing their properties. Everyone wants to complain but no one wants to take action. A yard like this brings drugs, squatters, rats, mice and snakes to the neighborhood.
Exactly!!!!
Or if it’s foreclosed, a bank owns it. They need to have the same thing done !
( well put !)
@@junedimond1693Nope, family couldn't keep up with the mortgage and fines after putting mom in a nursing home & it went up for auction. The city bought it at auction. The city needs to be maintaining it, just like any other homeowner is required by law to do!
Thanks Spencer for cleaning up an 8yr.mess. Even boarded up, it looks so much better. I know everyone living close by is very grateful. Thanks for all your blessings,& hard work. Stay safe out there.💯👍🏾😀🫶🏾💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
I look forward to my Friday mornings - thank you!
Good thing a caring neighbor reached out to you. Sad cities don't contract with decent lawn care services like yours!!!
Happy Friday Spencer. GREAT Transformation as always. Be blessed and stay safe ❤️🙏🏽
Have been watching your video's for a few years.....The abandon properties are great transformations, but real peoples homes are much more satisfying when you are actually doing peoples lawns who really need help with their yards.
You have a wonderful soul. Job well done 👍👍🙏🙏❤️💯💯❤️🙏🙏
Spencer, thank you for your hard work and sweat doing this transformation! The yard was horrible. God bless you and your family! You are an inspiration to not only the younger generations but also us older ones!❤🙏
Thank you Spencer for all you do ❤❤❤❤
You are a remarkable young man. What you do has to lift the spirits in the neighborhoods as the people pass by your beautiful work. God Bless you and your family. ❤
Awesome content
Love all the hard work
Another great transformation. Thanks Spence
Spencer, you are one of the truly good guys. Thank you.
Yes... it's too easy to create laws and to apply a lot of fines!
What's doing with the amount of all bucks from fines?
Who knows?
What a HUGE difference. Now the cats may not like it, but the neighbors should be ecstatic! Excellent transformation SB!
Perhaps, the city will now be able to keep up with mowing and trimming.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 the City will keep up the Trim just like how Kamala is the Boarder Czar… 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Great job Spencer. Thanks for all you do for the communities you bless.
Wow, 8 years this has been going on. There have been some city elections during that time, maybe the neighborhood needs to come together to oust the city council.
Or get the city council to tour these neighborhoods BEFORE Spencer or anyone else cleans them up.
This house is no longer a revenue source for city. The city is setup to collect local taxes and levy fines against local home owners and spend the money on whatever they think is important. There is zero incentive for the city to do anything with this property. No money left here.
Spencer, you never fail us with these lawn makeovers. The neighborhood must be thrilled.❤❤❤
Keep up with the good work love watching your videos on RUclips God bless
You did an amazing transformation on that one. The neighborhood looks better because of people like you. The city doesn't care what happens but someone is going to smile down on you and your family for all you do. Thank you. God bless you and Mrs B.👍🤗
Your a kind soul that deserves all the best, your a hard working man. Be well be safe always. SJ. Wish I could work with you one of these days.
❤
You are awesome Spencer! Another great job!
I just always think how much the neighborhood must appreciate your work. It not only look better but safer also. The sidewalks are safe to walk down again. Great clean up!
I always stay til the end Spencer ur great!!!!
Wish there were more people like you. Really great that you are helping our community. ❤😊
Oh yea, that's a big improvement. Lucky City Hall.
I like the little chair you sat in to put your boots on at home😊
Good work Spencer!
❤ My son and I love what you do for our community ❤️ we thank you. You are such a blessing to Wichita Kansas. I do think it would be nice if the City of Wichita would pay you for doing the lawns that need it. 😊
Yay the weekend is starting with sb mowing!
When you clean up those houses it says someone cares it cuts down on crime and other things. It’s called the broken window syndrome. People picking up trash etc it all says someone cares. You enhance the neighborhood with your great lawn transformations. Your edging work is fantastic. I told another mowing channel about the ergonomic assist you use on your shovel and weed eater and that it can be bought at Walmart. Now they have one. Many blessings to you and yours
Hi Spencer 👋 from Sydney Australia…
You seem to be the only account who picks the worst overgrown sidewalk which also thr longest in your other videos. Then again your the best of them all. Guess there isn't any task you won't tackle Spencer. Making the neighborhood look better. Your a blesssing.
Good job! The town is slacking on their responsibility.
The transformation is always the best! It’s clear to see all the work that gets done!
Woo hoo SB Mowing Friday 🎉
So sad about the lady. The city didn't have a heart. God bless you for helping.
Please let the ads run. Great job, Spencer, as always 👍
You said it best-fostering community!
I don’t understand why the neighbors couldn’t come together and work in the yard as a group.
Get to know each other.
Learn from each other as you go along.
Finish it off with a cookout , order pizzas or have a huge block party with loud music and dancing.
Do it again next month.
Maybe help each other with your own yard work.
I hope someone will take the initiative , following SB’s lead .
Happy Friday, just in time with my coffee ☕️
I'm sure this will put a smile ... big smiles to passers by ... not feeling creeped out as they pass by that house at least for a while. Thank you for mowing the lawn. ❤❤❤
20:10 that brick is something I FEAR when doing an overgrown yard
& he’s mowing this unknown yard with the chute completely removed. Neighbors are lucky they didn’t catch a rock to the forehead.
