Our neighbor Bill took amazing care of his yard. He had a stroke a couple of months ago. He hasn't been home from the hospital and care center yet. If he does get to come home some day... He will find his yard in excellent condition and care. Us and our other neighbors take care of it for him. It would break his soul to come home to his yard not being taken care of. We will not let that happen!!!
I hope they make it home, they are probably expecting to come home to a mess, to see it has all been taken care of should do them the world of good, well done to all of you :).
I'm a outdoor kinda person. 2 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I thought my world had ended. BUT I didn't stop going outside. Although walking and lifting became very difficult, it didn't stop me trying to do my yard. Wish I could show you what sitting on the ground with a small shovel trying became. It took 2 years but I made a flower bed. Family bought me a riding mower, so chemotherapy didn't stop me from keeping my grass up. They also got me an electric chainsaw, that I cut a few trees down with. I had 2 years to do something that I could of done in a week. My family is awesome for supporting me. Thank you for taking the time to support and help the disabled.
I share a strip of grass with my next door neighbors and it makes no sense to cut just my side and leave theirs. I always cut it all in addition to their own lawn. They are my parents age and I do for them what I would do for my parents. No big deal. The world needs more kindness!
I am blessed to have neighbors that help me with my yard work 🙏🏼 I don't know what I would do without them. I've offered money and they refused. But, I do bring them over homemade bread and occasionally cookies for their hard work. We just need to look out for one another 🙏🏼
When my parents were elderly, once in a while a neighbor would mow their lawn for them with his rider mower. Never said a word. Just did it & left. So kind. It really touched my heart. Love what you do. Masks...my husband works construction and wears a white dust mask, much like the N95s people have been wearing during Covid. He often wears protective eyeglasses, too. Just clear plastic ones.
It amazes me that people would rather bitch and complain, rather then helping. People have become so selfish and self centered today. Great job and always a fan of your hard work....
I was just thinking that! I would have paid for the initial clean up for this person and gotten together with the neighbors to see who could mow her lawn or take turns, how frickin hard is that? I’m 53 and disabled and I sure hope if it EVER comes down to something that my kids can’t help me when needed, that a good neighbor or friend would.
AMEN, Brother... preach it! Then again, on the flip side of the "help" factor, are watching HUGE segments of society nearly self-destruct right in front of our eyes. Scary thing is, those who are still responsible and caring people are just going about their lives and allowing it to happen. We vote left-leaning morons into local, state, and federal government, who tell people they are entitled to whatever they want, whenever they want it, how they want it, from whomever they want to take it from, and wonder why our nation is sinking into the depths of depravity... and make no mistake about it, it IS! Wake up, America! BTW... I am not talking about people who physically cannot help themselves. This guy is helping people on that front. And he's making things a little better in his own way... doing his part to make things better.
My wife asked me once why they can trim and edge lawns so much quicker than when I do ours. I said they use a revolutionary tool that we can't afford called time lapse.
Seriously though. Same with house cleaning videos! They make it seem like I'm not moving my ass over here. Not really, I just don't have rl time lapse.
You know before neighbors start complaining they should actually go see if the neighbor needs help or is having problems. I’m disabled and live in a small town as in population of 500. Not once has any of my neighbors ever even knocked on my door to be neighborly. When did we stop doing this? I’ve known most of these people since jr. high and I’m almost 60 years old. It’s really quite sad that we’ve become so selfish and too busy to be nice and check on folks.
I think it's technology, when i was a child we would all be in the street playing together, the parents would be in the gardens talking to each other, if my mother needed something from the local shops while my father was at work, first she would ask our immediate neighbours if they needed anything while she was there, and then she would not even close the door never mind locking it before taking us to the shops, now kids are all indoors on their game systems and computers parents are watching tv or on their computers, and you wouldn't think of walking down the street to the corner shop now without making sure all your windows and doors were locked, there are no neighbourhood communities anymore, we used to know every single person in our street and most of the surrounding streets, now we don't know a quarter of the people in our own street.
Even if they don't want to touch her things, they could have made arrangements for a dump truck or two to pick up the trash in the yard. The owner could be so over/underwhelmed, she doesn't know what to do, or where to start.
I totally get it, once I blew my back, couldn’t do the lawn for tree weeks, my dear back neighbor put a complaint on me to the city, if I didn’t do the lawn, 375$ fine! Thanks neighbor 😏, it didn’t look good from her window 🤦🏻♀️
That is so sweet of you and your husband. My parents retired in Oklahoma City. When it got to the point where my dad could not mow the lawn anymore, one week the neighbor on the right would do it for them and the following week the neighbor on the left side it. The neighbors are the people who called us to let us know dad could not find his way home when walking the dog. Thank God for those people who kept him safe until we could hire someone to be with him in his home.
@@marthaandrews441 the same thing happened with my parents. The guy to the left of them mowed their yard for years. My dad passed away in Oct 2020 and my mother moved in with my sister.
It's amazing how 4 1/2 hrs with one person the neighbors could have gotten together in 1 day and completely cleared that out. Good job man it looks alot better.
@@KentuckyFan8181 Can go either way.... Makes you wonder what kind of people live there if nobody is willing to help them nearby or the opposite, what kind of ahole neighbors live around them that they won't help.
My thoughts exactly. Glad I live in my neighborhood where we do for each other. I just did my 80 years old next door neighbors yard. I am 65. Come on people, help each other!!
Amazing job and as always, with heart. I have one set of neighbors who would sit and watch my house burn down. The other neighbors are angels and told me immediately about a water leak, and not only that, fixed it himself while teaching me how to do so the next time if I could, to save the cost of a plumber. They’re always there for me. I thank God for them, and people like you. God bless.
My husband and I mow and maintain our neighbors yard she’s elderly and have had to cut away so much of her over grown yard trees and wow. There’s a back patio. No we don’t charge her. It just breaks my heart her children live near by and won’t help.
I’m 72…..nobody comes to care for my lawn….neighbors don’t offer. I pay somebody to do it. My 18 yo grandson lives with me and would die before cutting the grass. I’m ready to sell this house since husband died….it’s very overwhelming with all the upkeep and no help. I’ve had to replace heat and a/c, rebuild porch, fix the roof, make repairs to kitchen…..still need to fix kitchen and put in new back door, buy new dryer, it just never ends.
@@puddytat30141 sounds like you need to give your grandson a bit of a push. He needs to help his grandmother, no excuses. Not sure why he has gotten away without helping for so long…
I agree. We should help our neighbors if we can. Years ago we had our gardner take care of our next door neighbors house after he had a heart attack. A complaining neighbor left an anonymous note on his door saying they were going to turn him in. He had only missed a couple weeks. So we took care of his yard until he could move out into a condo complex. Much easier for him there.
@@denicecassell9541 it’s so shitty when neighbours think that someone else’s yard is any of their business. Either help, or go stare at your own yard…smh.
The neighbors should be ashamed of themselves, instead of calling her home a dump they should have asked if she needed help. Get out Knock on some doors find out what your neighbors need because one day you might need them
The home IS a dump. Anyone with 2 eyes could have seen that. Trash all over the yard, and the house was falling apart. The neighbors shouldn't be held responsible for cleaning up and mowing her yard. It's a big property, and they have their own yards to take care of. My guess is this woman might not have been too nice to her neighbors in the past, and they don't want to help her. It happens. We just don't know the circumstances, but please don't be knocking the neighbors over her failure to hire someone to take care of her own property.
@@KarenL-qt7dy 'My guess is this woman might not have been too nice to her neighbors in the past, and they don't want to help her.' Or she may be too proud to ask for help, despite her disability. Or she doesn't think they would help, or just didn't think to ask. We *don't* know the circumstances; it's always better to err on the side of kindness.
We’ve helped our neighbor out on several occasions plus WE paid for a new fence down the property line ( they have dogs ) We never asked for a cent! They have a brand new mulching mower with bag, a trimmer, blower. They have a snowblower but seldom use it. We shovel by hand drive and public sidewalk out front. Trim cut and blow our yard every Friday. We sit in our yard and smell dog crap! Decomposing lawn clippings from one of the 3 times he’s mowed! We See weeds and uncut lawn ( 2-3 ft) We rake their leaves, We pick up their cherries , plums in our yard. As they do not maintain anything. Sad! They are younger than us , we have medical issues but get out there and do it! We tried talking to him and he has attitude. Sad that they were blessed to purchase a home but then are letting it rot away, Biggest investment we have I’ll be darned if they will prevent me from selling at optimum price. Pure LAZINESS on their part. I pay extra for pest control, weed and feed, etc. If you choose to live this way , go to the country. It’s lack of respect when you have neighbors!
Seems like the complaining neighbors could look into getting a Boy Scout group or church youth group to spend a day cleaning up the trash, trimming g hedges and bushes and getting her a safer back porch. That being said this poor woman is unable to physically mow them neighbors need to help her. And you young man need to wear a mask and eye protection!
We live on a corner lot. For the past 20 years my husband has been cleaning up leaves & snow from our property. We have NO TREES that produce any leaves, but blow in the wind from neighboring properties. 2 years ago my husband became ill. I have been caring for him. We do have a lawn Service to take care of the grass. Do you think that in those 2 years ANYONE from the neighborhood has offered to help us ? ? NOT 2 Person ! I had to hire someone to do the leaves and Snow. Even though my husband has helped many neighbors out, especially with the snow, because we have a Snow Blower . This is the way of the world, unfortunately.
When neighbors say things like that I think watch what you wish for. The amount of critters living in that overgrown dirt and weeds will coming looking at your yard if this shelter is gone
@@jackiprettyman9687 Those likely are safety glasses. There are safety goggles and safety glasses. The latter usually just look like regular sport-style sunglasses.
I pray that someone takes on a challenge to clear this lawn up for the lady. As someone who is often too limited to do heavy work, seeing piles like this is a constant reminder of what I would do if only I was able 😔. On a brighter note, thank you for coming to this lady's aid. Out here in Australia we would suggest that garden needed to be done with a few teaspoons of cement 🤣🤣. But grass and shady trees look so beautiful out the windows. I couldn't understand why you were dreading this lawn at the start, so thanks for the on-screen notes explaining what a layman's eyes could not see. May you always see your blessings good man, and the blessings that you bestow on others x
I'm about to turn 60 and there's no way I could do all of that. A few years ago, yes, but not now. I'm sure she's very appreciative of your service. It looks great. Looks like the whole house needs work. Getting old really SUCKS! One of the hardest things is not being able to do the things you used to be able to do. It's very depressing and just makes us old folks feel worthless.
Hon, I'm almost 66 and do NOT consider myself an 'old folk'. Yes, I'm slower, but if I let that get the better of me, I'd never get the ckicken yards (on 1 acre of our 4.5) clean, coops clean, eggs picked, nails clipped, weeds trimmed, 40 & 50 pound feed sacks moved or anything else done. Do what you can & keep on truckin'.
Shame, shame, shame on each and everyone of the neighbors. They bitch and whine yet don't lift a finger. What do they think is going to happen after you leave?? Most every city has services to help folks in this situation. I have absolutely nothing kind to say about the neighbors or that city. You are a good man.
i am more mad at the lady. Part of being a home owner is lawn care. If you cant do it then hire someone. If you cant afford it, then you need to find a condo or someplace with no yard
I see a lot of comments about the neighbors maybe knocking on their door and offering to help out. I could not agree more!!! You can help them out instead of complaining. Show a little kindness to people goes a long way.
I just absolutely love how a city can get on a property owner who can't physically care for their lawn and yet can't take care of the streets as can clearly be seen in this video
It's so sad to hear about people who complain about their neighbors' yard, yet wouldn't lift a finger to help them; that's the tragedy here. If I were you, I'd keep a list of these unloved peoples and continue to check on them and help whenever you can.
Pretty F'n arrogant to think everyone around you has nothing better to do than help you, but just choose not too. The world isn't as slow paced as it once was, people have their own fast paced lives to live these days and their own family members to look after.
You really need to be wearing a mask with all that dust and grass blowing around. I always regretted it when I didn't and wasn't ever happy with the resulting sinus infection. When I started wearing a mask to do yard work I felt a lot better afterwards and stopped getting sick. Our dirt is this hard and dusty 9 months out of the year.
This particular corner lot seems huge! The chore of caring for a lot this big must be daunting if the owner is handicapped, older, or on limited income. If we didn't have a riding mowers, our property would look this way, too. Thank goodness for people who care to help others.
Now that the yard is semi-cleaned-up, perhaps the homeowner can contact a local Scout troop to spend some Saturday afternoon cleaning up all the crap in the yard... That could be coordinated with the local garbage or bulk-pickup people, to take that stuff away. The scouts could do a community service and perhaps even get a badge or two out of the deal, and the yard could be returned to a more normal yard that only requires general upkeep!
@@TopNotchLawns maybe you could contact the Boy Scout troop yourself to see if they could do it. Would help the homeowner a lot more then just mowing, weed eating, edging.
There are County help programs, that might help this couple. A County Nurse would know. Services for someone to come in and clean, help with bathing if needed etc. It's a shame that they had to abandon their yard, and then be abandoned by their community. Thank you for helping them as much as you could. May God bless you on your journey in life.
That's the thing that bugs me about all these people Top Notch Lawn Care is helping out - have they done NO OUTREACH to connect with groups or programs that can help them? Do they live in areas where there are no such groups or county or state funded organizations to help disabled and/or elderly and ailing homeowners? Where are the families - why aren't they helping? Have these people NO friends who can help? If the homeowner is too proud to ask for help, then sell the house and move to an apartment, or a nursing home.
I think you are an angel for helping this disabled individual . Like Glenda said, when did we stop checking on neighbors (friends) to see what can be done to help. Thank you for caring for a complete stranger. You most definitely are paying it forward. Much respect from BC Canada.
@ 23:55 you got that bug that was crawling up the wall! Very nice use of a weedeater! What skill! I went back and watched that part a few times! Great work, as usual. God Bless You!
It is a dump, literally. The neighbors who complained should get together and help the people by cleaning up the trash. I swear, I smelled the dust and started sneezing! It looks a lot better. The rest is up to the neighbors that complained.
The neighbors should call the cops on every infraction and get the lowlives to take care of their own stuff or have the city cite them, fine them and do it for them at high costs.
@@Bonzi_Buddy These people are physically not able to mow. The city would never be able to collect. Neighbors should spend a day on clean up as it would be a noble thing to do. They would benefit as well as the homeowner.
@@madampolo Someone above mentioned that all that plaster and lath debris could possibly contain asbestos, making it hazardous materials. It also might just be contaminated with animal waste -- either way, this needs a proper, professional cleanup crew that the homeowner obviously isn't capable of and probably can't afford.
@@madampolo #1: A disability doesn't afford you the right to ignore city statutes and be an irresponsible neighbor. #2: Neighbors bear no responsibility for helping another neighbor who needs slack picked up for them. Bleeding hearts like yourself are insufferable. You know nothing of this alleged person with a disability to make the demands upon their neighbors. People like you disgust me.
The slats are called lathe and what you are referring to as "sheet rock" is actually the plaster that was applied to the lathe. It has the potential to be a hazardous waste as asbestos was often embedded in the plaster mix (and horse hair before that).
@@TopNotchLawns if i attempt to get that sheet rock up i would be in a proper mask and gloves and protective suit i would dampen the pile before moving and bag it up for disposal .
@@gantmj im in virginia theres alot of older homes with this type of plaster it can be a head ache if not taken care properly otherwise it has to be all removed and cleaned up and new sheet rock installed.
@@gantmj Possibly. But when working around piles of the stuff, why take chances? Airborne plaster is a respiratory problem all by itself, regardless of the binder.
I wouldn’t have edged this yard. It would have looked just fine without doing so. So many people don’t edge anyway. But just to save time and money a trim and cut would have been great. You went above and beyond. Thank you for that. Wonderful job.
Yes I agree, as soon as I saw how much dust was being blown all over the neighborhood I would have reassessed and quit with the edging. But if you’re making a video about lawn care you can’t leave out the edging otherwise there’s no wow factor at the end.
You did a great job with this yard. It's hard to work around a lot of stuff. The edging looks fantastic! Keep up the great work and thank you for helping people in need! May God bless you
Wouldn’t it be nice if the neighbors pitched in!?!??? As a family, we’ve cleaned a lot that had not been touched in years. It felt good and was a great lesson of compassion and brotherly love! I’m sure you know what I mean. Thank you for sharing and doing what you do. Blessings
If your seeing that much debris, that house is falling apart inside. I can only imagine the conditions they are living in. Wonderful job turning the lawn around for them.
No question about it! You’re an exemplary man! God Bless you and your whole family, especially your Son, it’s a pleasure to watch him do his best to help you.
i would watch this same lawn once a week. Why dont you get a stake with a sign made that has This lawn supported/sponsored by Top Notch Lawn Care with your RUclips channel on it. It may get you some business.
unbelievable ...you need a medal ...what an amazingly generous guy you are ...and no one to even thankyou ...glad you said your getting mask THANKYOU FROM AUSTRALIA
Again, love that you do this and help people out. I can’t see myself not doing the same if I had the equipment. However I couldn’t help but notice the two bikes parked out front. If they have any able bodied person in that home all of this should’ve been taken care of by them. I could be wrong but if I’m not that’s just sad. Also if I was a neighbor I would’ve taken care of it before complaining to the city, the construction debris is on them though.
The pieces of boards back there are called lath and plaster , my parents had a house that was built in the early 1800’s in Washington state and we had to upgrade the interior walls to drywall and insulation so that’s was a barrel of fun lol I was 14 at the time my first construction 🚧 job with my dad brother and friends !👍🏻😎🇺🇸🦅👍🏻
That’s exactly why you have such a strong following! Your viewers know that you will do the HARD WORK! You bring the right tools and equipment to tackle those neglected properties and bring them back to life. And possibly bring new beauty to an awful site. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! You and your son are truly beautiful people and the world is better place because of people like you.
Hey Brian: 100% better! You're limited by all the obstacles in the yard like toys, lumber, piles of sticks, etc. It really looked good when you finished.
Much improved after the mow and edge. Seems as though there is at least one able bodied bicycle rider living there who could bundle sticks and pick up trash.
Exactly what I was thinking. Whomever owns and rides those bikes either live there or belong to grand kids I imagine. Either way THEY are the ones who should be out there bustin arse to clean up and maintain that yard. Kids are so dang lazy and selfish anymore. smh
I'm always blown away at the quality of work you do. As a home owner myself, I never really bothered to edge or even invest in a trimmer. I picked one up a couple months ago from someone giving it away. Between you and the lawncare juggernaut, you both have inspired me to pick it up and start using it. It had no string, and I've just recently learned how to string a trimmer, and how to adjust the 2 screws for fuel/air and have it running top notch. Question though, how do you keep from getting blisters on your fingers from the pull start? I've got 3 blisters right now from the darn thing!
I know it's back breaking for you but the scraping with the spade really is my favourite part of your videos. Yet to see someone who edges like you. Great transformation!!! Love what you do ,from 🇰🇪
All I can say is WOW !!!! What a great job you did there. I'm guessing this was a non-paying job. What a kind person you are! I sincerely hope that you get a lot of paying work from this. Please keep up with your generosity. Rick.
When I was younger, we did some of this through our church. We didn't care if you were a member or not, an atheist, or whatever. Sometimes if you just call a church, they'll get it taken care of if the people are in genuine need like the folks here.
I did that too, but now I’m older and I notice there aren’t many young people in church anymore. I used to love driving by houses and yards I had worked on. It gave me pleasure to help my neighbors.
@@TopNotchLawns I am 85 yrs old and when I cut my lawn I also include some of my next door neighbors yard. Since Covid I have to be sure she isn’t home when I do it just in case. Just because I am a woman doesn’t mean I can’t still help out where I can. Arkansas is a hot spot got Covid, so don’t come here. Good job on what you were able to do. Do you need some lotion for your face? I have some.🥵
Well, if their yards are maintained then either they are capable of doing it or hiring out someone to do it. Either way, these poor folks have crappy neighbors and I trust that in time, they will reap what negligence they have sown.
After having a second stroke back in Nov/20 and then a fall in that I broke my pelvic bone in three places a couple of months back,,,I am unable to look after my lawns at this time.. Lucky for me I have a great lady next door who loves to mow lawns and she has looked after ours this entire summer.. She's our hero..as I'm sure you are to the many people you have done free service for..
With all the pool parts, bikes, gazebo frame clearly there were littles…. Where are they now? THANK YOU for getting her out of trouble with the City!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
That's some serious work. This brings about good " karma " or whatever you want to call it. What goes around comes around. Nice job. You can't go wrong helping out someone in need it will boomerang back to you.
You was like a tasmanian devil out there while edging,.. being loud, surrounded by a cloud of dust! Could hardly see you there a couple times it was so dusty. 🌪️👿 lol. Great again!
That was an outstanding effort with this Ladies garden. I live in Ireland 🇮🇪 where there is no laws or financial penalties about having your garden mowed or presentable. Folk for the most part make the effort with their gardens, if they don't that's their privacy....there is just no way the Irish wld pay such charges/fines....and there is no way the Irish Govt , esp Local govt wld even think to ask for such penalties.... But can understand with such big gardens front and back an effort needs to be made in America. But there should be exception for Folk with disabilities etc....or the City provide a Lawn Care Service for such needed cases. I use to do such Community and Individual Lawn Care and Landscaping effort in Dublin, Wicklow, Carlow.... so I do know the effort involved, so do take care of your Back and Knees 👍. It is good to see such a capable kindness of yourself in these current times. Take Care and keep up the good work🌻
I think you will find the original saying was "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear." Means exactly the same thing, but with better scansion.
I see why The City stay on the property owner ( I’m sure The Neighbors, are the reason for that, which I don’t blame them) It should be THE LAW if you live on a corner lot, it should be well kept. You’re right you need a mask ( all that dust is dancing on your lungs) well done, YOU did an AMAZING JOB!
I take cafe of my elder neighbors yard if I didn’t it would definitely look just like that sometimes just do the right things I do it for free plus when her house looks goods helps mines look good
Little compassion goes a long way... and we need to think about ourselves too. If we get to the age and physically unable, whom we turn to except for a good Samaritan if our children, grandchildren are unable to look after us even for a single day because they're too far from us. So... indeed neighborhood watch is a Must. Just for a simple act of kindness and humanity... Thank you for making the homeowner happy. God bless..
May i ask who takes care of the financials of a job like this? Is it the neighbour who complained who pays? The homeowner? Or is this by donation by you? That's a lot of time, energy, and expense incurred. Its sad seeing a community not step up and help an elder, especially one who is unable to do this for themself. Good on you for doing such a good job.
Great job. Both retired and can't do yard work. Neighbor 2blocks over saw damage to our big tree. Cut broken limbs for wood & free! Now he's our yard man.
I’m am going to say thank you for caring for the people that will not say thank you 🙏 . You care more then anyone in the world 🌎. Which you the grace and peace ✌️. Rebekah
I have a little suggestion for you. Why don’t you tie a plastic grocery bag to your belt loop for all the small things you pick up, such as small pieces of paper and cans and bottles, etc.?
I have to agree with the commenters who said that the neighbors should have gotten together and helped those people with their yard. If there were 3 or 4 neighbors working on it together, it wouldn't have taken them all that much time to get it done, even if they only did a little of the work per day over a period of about 3 or 4 days (if even that long).
Our neighbor Bill took amazing care of his yard. He had a stroke a couple of months ago. He hasn't been home from the hospital and care center yet. If he does get to come home some day... He will find his yard in excellent condition and care. Us and our other neighbors take care of it for him. It would break his soul to come home to his yard not being taken care of. We will not let that happen!!!
You and the neighbors are Bill's saviors. You're the kind of community we all need to model LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR !!!
What wonderful neighbors!
God Bless all of you
I hope they make it home, they are probably expecting to come home to a mess, to see it has all been taken care of should do them the world of good, well done to all of you :).
That’s so wonderful ! Bless you all , and sending prayers up for your neighbor Bill for complete healing . 🤗🙏
I'm a outdoor kinda person. 2 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I thought my world had ended. BUT I didn't stop going outside. Although walking and lifting became very difficult, it didn't stop me trying to do my yard. Wish I could show you what sitting on the ground with a small shovel trying became. It took 2 years but I made a flower bed. Family bought me a riding mower, so chemotherapy didn't stop me from keeping my grass up. They also got me an electric chainsaw, that I cut a few trees down with. I had 2 years to do something that I could of done in a week. My family is awesome for supporting me. Thank you for taking the time to support and help the disabled.
That’s awesome Teresa. Sounds like you’re a hard worker and overcame a lot! 👍👍
Hope your feeling better Teresa. Admire a spirit that never gives up and continues even when it gets rough. Many blessings and a hug!
I share a strip of grass with my next door neighbors and it makes no sense to cut just my side and leave theirs. I always cut it all in addition to their own lawn. They are my parents age and I do for them what I would do for my parents. No big deal. The world needs more kindness!
🙌✝️🙌
God will bless you a thousand times over
You are very kind!, and so right!
God bless you. May you continue for others as you are doing for your neighbors. God is going to bless you tremendously.♥️🙏🏾🌹
One of my neighbours and I take turns mowing the naturestrip outside each other's house. 10 extra minutes and we're out there anyway. Just makes sense
I am blessed to have neighbors that help me with my yard work 🙏🏼 I don't know what I would do without them. I've offered money and they refused. But, I do bring them over homemade bread and occasionally cookies for their hard work. We just need to look out for one another 🙏🏼
Amen!
When my parents were elderly, once in a while a neighbor would mow their lawn for them with his rider mower. Never said a word. Just did it & left. So kind. It really touched my heart. Love what you do. Masks...my husband works construction and wears a white dust mask, much like the N95s people have been wearing during Covid. He often wears protective eyeglasses, too. Just clear plastic ones.
It amazes me that people would rather bitch and complain, rather then helping. People have become so selfish and self centered today. Great job and always a fan of your hard work....
Great Job....
that is because they want money and have the attitude of what's in it for me instead of helping for the hell of it
I was just thinking that! I would have paid for the initial clean up for this person and gotten together with the neighbors to see who could mow her lawn or take turns, how frickin hard is that? I’m 53 and disabled and I sure hope if it EVER comes down to something that my kids can’t help me when needed, that a good neighbor or friend would.
Exactly 💯
AMEN, Brother... preach it!
Then again, on the flip side of the "help" factor, are watching HUGE segments of society nearly self-destruct right in front of our eyes. Scary thing is, those who are still responsible and caring people are just going about their lives and allowing it to happen. We vote left-leaning morons into local, state, and federal government, who tell people they are entitled to whatever they want, whenever they want it, how they want it, from whomever they want to take it from, and wonder why our nation is sinking into the depths of depravity... and make no mistake about it, it IS!
Wake up, America!
BTW... I am not talking about people who physically cannot help themselves. This guy is helping people on that front. And he's making things a little better in his own way... doing his part to make things better.
My wife asked me once why they can trim and edge lawns so much quicker than when I do ours. I said they use a revolutionary tool that we can't afford called time lapse.
Seriously though. Same with house cleaning videos! They make it seem like I'm not moving my ass over here. Not really, I just don't have rl time lapse.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Now that’s funny 😄
Lol
You know before neighbors start complaining they should actually go see if the neighbor needs help or is having problems. I’m disabled and live in a small town as in population of 500. Not once has any of my neighbors ever even knocked on my door to be neighborly. When did we stop doing this? I’ve known most of these people since jr. high and I’m almost 60 years old. It’s really quite sad that we’ve become so selfish and too busy to be nice and check on folks.
I’m sorry to hear about your struggles Glenda
I agree
I think it's technology, when i was a child we would all be in the street playing together, the parents would be in the gardens talking to each other, if my mother needed something from the local shops while my father was at work, first she would ask our immediate neighbours if they needed anything while she was there, and then she would not even close the door never mind locking it before taking us to the shops, now kids are all indoors on their game systems and computers parents are watching tv or on their computers, and you wouldn't think of walking down the street to the corner shop now without making sure all your windows and doors were locked, there are no neighbourhood communities anymore, we used to know every single person in our street and most of the surrounding streets, now we don't know a quarter of the people in our own street.
Even if they don't want to touch her things, they could have made arrangements for a dump truck or two to pick up the trash in the yard. The owner could be so over/underwhelmed, she doesn't know what to do, or where to start.
I totally get it, once I blew my back, couldn’t do the lawn for tree weeks, my dear back neighbor put a complaint on me to the city, if I didn’t do the lawn, 375$ fine! Thanks neighbor 😏, it didn’t look good from her window 🤦🏻♀️
I’m literally choking on this dust myself, holding my own breathe. This man definitely works very hard!
You worked so hard and long hours fixing her property. You are a good hearted man and I respect that in you. God bless you!!
On a positive note. My husband mows our neighbor’s half acre yard because she’s old and on a fixed income.
That’s awesome of him
Well done for being so compassionate. That’s a kind thing to do
I do the same thing!
That is so sweet of you and your husband. My parents retired in Oklahoma City. When it got to the point where my dad could not mow the lawn anymore, one week the neighbor on the right would do it for them and the following week the neighbor on the left side it. The neighbors are the people who called us to let us know dad could not find his way home when walking the dog. Thank God for those people who kept him safe until we could hire someone to be with him in his home.
@@marthaandrews441 the same thing happened with my parents. The guy to the left of them mowed their yard for years. My dad passed away in Oct 2020 and my mother moved in with my sister.
It's amazing how 4 1/2 hrs with one person the neighbors could have gotten together in 1 day and completely cleared that out. Good job man it looks alot better.
Thank you Thomas I appreciate
@@KentuckyFan8181 Can go either way.... Makes you wonder what kind of people live there if nobody is willing to help them nearby or the opposite, what kind of ahole neighbors live around them that they won't help.
My thoughts exactly. Glad I live in my neighborhood where we do for each other. I just did my 80 years old next door neighbors yard. I am 65. Come on people, help each other!!
I agree if the neighbor is physically unable to do it, what happened to helping your neighbor in need.
Thomas John...my first thoughts too. Not very neighbourly at all. =(
If they gave trophies out for edging, this guy would win the GOLD!
Amazing job and as always, with heart. I have one set of neighbors who would sit and watch my house burn down. The other neighbors are angels and told me immediately about a water leak, and not only that, fixed it himself while teaching me how to do so the next time if I could, to save the cost of a plumber. They’re always there for me. I thank God for them, and people like you. God bless.
Good neighbors are such a blessing and gift. I'm happy about your good neighbors.
You have a heart of gold. If I was one of the people driving by I would stop and help you. Thank you for you are doing for the homeowner.
My husband and I mow and maintain our neighbors yard she’s elderly and have had to cut away so much of her over grown yard trees and wow. There’s a back patio. No we don’t charge her. It just breaks my heart her children live near by and won’t help.
I’m 72…..nobody comes to care for my lawn….neighbors don’t offer. I pay somebody to do it. My 18 yo grandson lives with me and would die before cutting the grass. I’m ready to sell this house since husband died….it’s very overwhelming with all the upkeep and no help. I’ve had to replace heat and a/c, rebuild porch, fix the roof, make repairs to kitchen…..still need to fix kitchen and put in new back door, buy new dryer, it just never ends.
@@puddytat30141 totally understand that. If we were close would definitely help. ❤️
@@puddytat30141 sounds like you need to give your grandson a bit of a push. He needs to help his grandmother, no excuses. Not sure why he has gotten away without helping for so long…
I agree. We should help our neighbors if we can. Years ago we had our gardner take care of our next door neighbors house after he had a heart attack. A complaining neighbor left an anonymous note on his door saying they were going to turn him in. He had only missed a couple weeks. So we took care of his yard until he could move out into a condo complex. Much easier for him there.
@@denicecassell9541 it’s so shitty when neighbours think that someone else’s yard is any of their business. Either help, or go stare at your own yard…smh.
The neighbors should be ashamed of themselves, instead of calling her home a dump they should have asked if she needed help. Get out Knock on some doors find out what your neighbors need because one day you might need them
The home IS a dump. Anyone with 2 eyes could have seen that. Trash all over the yard, and the house was falling apart. The neighbors shouldn't be held responsible for cleaning up and mowing her yard. It's a big property, and they have their own yards to take care of. My guess is this woman might not have been too nice to her neighbors in the past, and they don't want to help her. It happens. We just don't know the circumstances, but please don't be knocking the neighbors over her failure to hire someone to take care of her own property.
@@KarenL-qt7dy for real everyone can see that, that wasn't my point, my point was we should help our neighbors!
@@KarenL-qt7dy 'My guess is this woman might not have been too nice to her neighbors in the past, and they don't want to help her.'
Or she may be too proud to ask for help, despite her disability. Or she doesn't think they would help, or just didn't think to ask. We *don't* know the circumstances; it's always better to err on the side of kindness.
We’ve helped our neighbor out on several occasions plus WE paid for a new fence down the property line ( they have dogs ) We never asked for a cent! They have a brand new mulching mower with bag, a trimmer, blower.
They have a snowblower but seldom use it. We shovel by hand drive and public sidewalk out front. Trim cut and blow our yard every Friday.
We sit in our yard and smell dog crap! Decomposing lawn clippings from one of the 3 times he’s mowed! We See weeds and uncut lawn ( 2-3 ft) We rake their leaves, We pick up their cherries , plums in our yard. As they do not maintain anything.
Sad! They are younger than us , we have medical issues but get out there and do it!
We tried talking to him and he has attitude.
Sad that they were blessed to purchase a home but then are letting it rot away, Biggest investment we have I’ll be darned if they will prevent me from selling at optimum price.
Pure LAZINESS on their part.
I pay extra for pest control, weed and feed, etc.
If you choose to live this way , go to the country. It’s lack of respect when you have neighbors!
@@KarenL-qt7dy The neighbors should have been helping, fact. Yes, I help my neighbors.
Seems like the complaining neighbors could look into getting a Boy Scout group or church youth group to spend a day cleaning up the trash, trimming g hedges and bushes and getting her a safer back porch. That being said this poor woman is unable to physically mow them neighbors need to help her. And you young man need to wear a mask and eye protection!
We live on a corner lot. For the past 20 years my husband has been cleaning up leaves & snow from our property. We have NO TREES that produce any leaves, but blow in the wind from neighboring properties. 2 years ago my husband became ill. I have been caring for him. We do have a lawn Service to take care of the grass. Do you think that in those 2 years ANYONE from the neighborhood has offered to help us ? ? NOT 2 Person ! I had to hire someone to do the leaves and Snow. Even though my husband has helped many neighbors out, especially with the snow, because we have a Snow Blower . This is the way of the world, unfortunately.
I was thinking the very same thing about the safety glasses.
When neighbors say things like that I think watch what you wish for. The amount of critters living in that overgrown dirt and weeds will coming looking at your yard if this shelter is gone
@@jackiprettyman9687 Those likely are safety glasses. There are safety goggles and safety glasses. The latter usually just look like regular sport-style sunglasses.
The problem with that these days is liability issues.
Things are way different than they were 40 years ago.
Way too many lawyers in this country now
I pray that someone takes on a challenge to clear this lawn up for the lady. As someone who is often too limited to do heavy work, seeing piles like this is a constant reminder of what I would do if only I was able 😔. On a brighter note, thank you for coming to this lady's aid. Out here in Australia we would suggest that garden needed to be done with a few teaspoons of cement 🤣🤣. But grass and shady trees look so beautiful out the windows. I couldn't understand why you were dreading this lawn at the start, so thanks for the on-screen notes explaining what a layman's eyes could not see. May you always see your blessings good man, and the blessings that you bestow on others x
I'm about to turn 60 and there's no way I could do all of that. A few years ago, yes, but not now. I'm sure she's very appreciative of your service. It looks great. Looks like the whole house needs work. Getting old really SUCKS! One of the hardest things is not being able to do the things you used to be able to do. It's very depressing and just makes us old folks feel worthless.
Hon, I'm almost 66 and do NOT consider myself an 'old folk'. Yes, I'm slower, but if I let that get the better of me, I'd never get the ckicken yards (on 1 acre of our 4.5) clean, coops clean, eggs picked, nails clipped, weeds trimmed, 40 & 50 pound feed sacks moved or anything else done. Do what you can & keep on truckin'.
Shame, shame, shame on each and everyone of the neighbors. They bitch and whine yet don't lift a finger. What do they think is going to happen after you leave?? Most every city has services to help folks in this situation. I have absolutely nothing kind to say about the neighbors or that city. You are a good man.
Even if they didn’t have time to do it themselves, they should just all pony up and pay for a service.
I’m not aware of everyone’s different situation but I was glad to be able to help where I could
I had the exact same thought.
Who ever did the dry wall could come back and clean their mess up. Or atleast throw it in the trash can
i am more mad at the lady. Part of being a home owner is lawn care. If you cant do it then hire someone. If you cant afford it, then you need to find a condo or someplace with no yard
I see a lot of comments about the neighbors maybe knocking on their door and offering to help out. I could not agree more!!! You can help them out instead of complaining. Show a little kindness to people goes a long way.
I just absolutely love how a city can get on a property owner who can't physically care for their lawn and yet can't take care of the streets as can clearly be seen in this video
🤷♂️🤷♂️
Too worried about lining their own pockets.
I don’t understand why they don’t have an assistant program for basic lawn mowing to keep it in check.
The world is a better place with people like you !
You did a great job. Well done. You’re a good man with a kind heart.
Thank you Bonita
It's so sad to hear about people who complain about their neighbors' yard, yet wouldn't lift a finger to help them; that's the tragedy here. If I were you, I'd keep a list of these unloved peoples and continue to check on them and help whenever you can.
Pretty F'n arrogant to think everyone around you has nothing better to do than help you, but just choose not too. The world isn't as slow paced as it once was, people have their own fast paced lives to live these days and their own family members to look after.
@@marcuslinton310 Interesting response; I appreciate your feedback.
@@missprimproper1022 I appreciate your feedback, thank you.
You have such strong arms! My arms kill after using my little weed wacker for 30 minutes!! 🥴 I love how you help others. 😊
☺️ thanks Gigi glad you enjoyed it
You really need to be wearing a mask with all that dust and grass blowing around. I always regretted it when I didn't and wasn't ever happy with the resulting sinus infection. When I started wearing a mask to do yard work I felt a lot better afterwards and stopped getting sick. Our dirt is this hard and dusty 9 months out of the year.
I completely appreciate all of your hard work towards humanity, especially helping the senior citizens 🙏🏻 lots of blessing you and your son!
God bless you, for all the kindness you give.
It seems that most of the overgrown properties you clean up are corner lots with at least double the edging. Great job as always.
Thanks James yes it seems that way
This particular corner lot seems huge! The chore of caring for a lot this big must be daunting if the owner is handicapped, older, or on limited income. If we didn't have a riding mowers, our property would look this way, too. Thank goodness for people who care to help others.
@@gogrannygo4431 I keep saying back in the day neighbors would all help, not complain. I hate this new complain, don't help generation😔
Now that the yard is semi-cleaned-up, perhaps the homeowner can contact a local Scout troop to spend some Saturday afternoon cleaning up all the crap in the yard... That could be coordinated with the local garbage or bulk-pickup people, to take that stuff away. The scouts could do a community service and perhaps even get a badge or two out of the deal, and the yard could be returned to a more normal yard that only requires general upkeep!
Thank you Donna that does sound like a great idea
@@TopNotchLawns maybe you could contact the Boy Scout troop yourself to see if they could do it. Would help the homeowner a lot more then just mowing, weed eating, edging.
nissan car
There are County help programs, that might help this couple. A County Nurse would know. Services for someone to come in and clean, help with bathing if needed etc. It's a shame that they had to abandon their yard, and then be abandoned by their community.
Thank you for helping them as much as you could. May God bless you on your journey in life.
Thank you Colleen I was glad I was able to help
The youth group at a church
That's the thing that bugs me about all these people Top Notch Lawn Care is helping out - have they done NO OUTREACH to connect with groups or programs that can help them? Do they live in areas where there are no such groups or county or state funded organizations to help disabled and/or elderly and ailing homeowners? Where are the families - why aren't they helping? Have these people NO friends who can help? If the homeowner is too proud to ask for help, then sell the house and move to an apartment, or a nursing home.
Edging makes all the difference, it looks great!
I think you are an angel for helping this disabled individual . Like Glenda said, when did we stop checking on neighbors (friends) to see what can be done to help. Thank you for caring for a complete stranger. You most definitely are paying it forward. Much respect from BC Canada.
@ 23:55 you got that bug that was crawling up the wall! Very nice use of a weedeater! What skill! I went back and watched that part a few times! Great work, as usual. God Bless You!
It is a dump, literally. The neighbors who complained should get together and help the people by cleaning up the trash. I swear, I smelled the dust and started sneezing! It looks a lot better. The rest is up to the neighbors that complained.
The neighbors' houses/cars were probably covered in dust and I hope their windows were closed!
The neighbors should call the cops on every infraction and get the lowlives to take care of their own stuff or have the city cite them, fine them and do it for them at high costs.
@@Bonzi_Buddy These people are physically not able to mow. The city would never be able to collect. Neighbors should spend a day on clean up as it would be a noble thing to do. They would benefit as well as the homeowner.
@@madampolo Someone above mentioned that all that plaster and lath debris could possibly contain asbestos, making it hazardous materials. It also might just be contaminated with animal waste -- either way, this needs a proper, professional cleanup crew that the homeowner obviously isn't capable of and probably can't afford.
@@madampolo #1: A disability doesn't afford you the right to ignore city statutes and be an irresponsible neighbor.
#2: Neighbors bear no responsibility for helping another neighbor who needs slack picked up for them.
Bleeding hearts like yourself are insufferable. You know nothing of this alleged person with a disability to make the demands upon their neighbors. People like you disgust me.
The slats are called lathe and what you are referring to as "sheet rock" is actually the plaster that was applied to the lathe. It has the potential to be a hazardous waste as asbestos was often embedded in the plaster mix (and horse hair before that).
Oh ugh thanks
@@TopNotchLawns if i attempt to get that sheet rock up i would be in a proper mask and gloves and protective suit i would dampen the pile before moving and bag it up for disposal .
That house looks old enough to probably be horse hair and not asbestos.
@@gantmj im in virginia theres alot of older homes with this type of plaster it can be a head ache if not taken care properly otherwise it has to be all removed and cleaned up and new sheet rock installed.
@@gantmj Possibly. But when working around piles of the stuff, why take chances? Airborne plaster is a respiratory problem all by itself, regardless of the binder.
What a blessing you are to this homeowner. Great Job.
You are definitely king of getting corner lots but you kill it every time. Love it
Very sad times when one neighbor doesn't offer to help another.
Looks like it was once a well kept yard. Too bad everyone didn't help totally clean it up. At least it is 100 times better.
Thank you kathy
Fantastic job
Yes Kathy I was thinking the same. Something has gone wrong and it would be nice if the neighbors or a group got together to help and show kindness.
I wouldn’t have edged this yard. It would have looked just fine without doing so. So many people don’t edge anyway. But just to save time and money a trim and cut would have been great. You went above and beyond. Thank you for that. Wonderful job.
People not wanting to edge, is why the so called lawn is taking over the public sidewalk. This is a tripping hazard.
The edging is fabulous - absolutely the difference between a superb job and a hack job.
Yes I agree, as soon as I saw how much dust was being blown all over the neighborhood I would have reassessed and quit with the edging. But if you’re making a video about lawn care you can’t leave out the edging otherwise there’s no wow factor at the end.
@@dianafertig2188 theCity is responsible in my town. anything past the sidewalk.
Edging a yard makes all the difference. Great job.
You did a great job with this yard. It's hard to work around a lot of stuff. The edging looks fantastic! Keep up the great work and thank you for helping people in need! May God bless you
The folks living around there sound like the kind of "neighbors" you don't want to have.
Yeah !!!
If they pay for my yard to be mowed and cleaned up since I was physically unable to. I'd would love the neighbors and probably invite them for dinner
but the neighbors did not pay to have somebody clean up the yard. @@dustinpoe4422
Does she not have family?
Wouldn’t it be nice if the neighbors pitched in!?!??? As a family, we’ve cleaned a lot that had not been touched in years. It felt good and was a great lesson of compassion and brotherly love! I’m sure you know what I mean. Thank you for sharing and doing what you do. Blessings
That’s awesome your family did that it is rewarding
If your seeing that much debris, that house is falling apart inside. I can only imagine the conditions they are living in. Wonderful job turning the lawn around for them.
Yeah, with all those cats and the debris, I'm wondering if the interior is trashed from animals...

WOW, what a great job you did it was really a mess. Apparently, the neighborhood doesn't pay much attention to helping thy neighbor, such a shame.
Thank you JR I was glad to be able to help some
unbelievable ...you need a medal ...what an amazingly generous guy you are ...and no one to even thankyou ...glad you said your getting mask THANKYOU FROM AUSTRALIA
Awesome that you did all the hard work for this lady. I hope the neighbors will think about your kindness & help this lady in the future.
Again, love that you do this and help people out. I can’t see myself not doing the same if I had the equipment.
However I couldn’t help but notice the two bikes parked out front. If they have any able bodied person in that home all of this should’ve been taken care of by them.
I could be wrong but if I’m not that’s just sad.
Also if I was a neighbor I would’ve taken care of it before complaining to the city, the construction debris is on them though.
Thank you
IMO, those aren't 'neighbors'......those are 'people that live next door'
The pieces of boards back there are called lath and plaster , my parents had a house that was built in the early 1800’s in Washington state and we had to upgrade the interior walls to drywall and insulation so that’s was a barrel of fun lol I was 14 at the time my first construction 🚧 job with my dad brother and friends !👍🏻😎🇺🇸🦅👍🏻

Hey Brian: 100% better! You're limited by all the obstacles in the yard like toys, lumber, piles of sticks, etc. It really looked good when you finished.
Thank you jim appreciate
Much improved after the mow and edge. Seems as though there is at least one able bodied bicycle rider living there who could bundle sticks and pick up trash.
Thanks zippy
Exactly what I was thinking. Whomever owns and rides those bikes either live there or belong to grand kids I imagine. Either way THEY are the ones who should be out there bustin arse to clean up and maintain that yard. Kids are so dang lazy and selfish anymore. smh
@@TopNotchLawns S3
I'm always blown away at the quality of work you do. As a home owner myself, I never really bothered to edge or even invest in a trimmer. I picked one up a couple months ago from someone giving it away. Between you and the lawncare juggernaut, you both have inspired me to pick it up and start using it. It had no string, and I've just recently learned how to string a trimmer, and how to adjust the 2 screws for fuel/air and have it running top notch. Question though, how do you keep from getting blisters on your fingers from the pull start? I've got 3 blisters right now from the darn thing!
AndreMarek64: Invest in a pair of heavy garden gloves. It will eliminate the blisters. Happy gardening!
I know it's back breaking for you but the scraping with the spade really is my favourite part of your videos. Yet to see someone who edges like you.
Great transformation!!! Love what you do ,from 🇰🇪
Thanks for helping disabled lady. Your a good man!
All I can say is WOW !!!! What a great job you did there. I'm guessing this was a non-paying job. What a kind person you are! I sincerely hope that you get a lot of paying work from this. Please keep up with your generosity. Rick.
Thank you Rick. I appreciate your support
When I was younger, we did some of this through our church. We didn't care if you were a member or not, an atheist, or whatever. Sometimes if you just call a church, they'll get it taken care of if the people are in genuine need like the folks here.
I did that too, but now I’m older and I notice there aren’t many young people in church anymore. I used to love driving by houses and yards I had worked on. It gave me pleasure to help my neighbors.

That was an outstanding effort with this Ladies garden.
I live in Ireland 🇮🇪 where there is no laws or financial penalties about having your garden mowed or presentable.
Folk for the most part make the effort with their gardens, if they don't that's their privacy....there is just no way the Irish wld pay such charges/fines....and there is no way the Irish Govt , esp Local govt wld even think to ask for such penalties....
But can understand with such big gardens front and back an effort needs to be made in America. But there should be exception for Folk with disabilities etc....or the City provide a Lawn Care Service for such needed cases.
I use to do such Community and Individual Lawn Care and Landscaping effort in Dublin, Wicklow, Carlow.... so I do know the effort involved, so do take care of your Back and Knees 👍.
It is good to see such a capable kindness of yourself in these current times.
Take Care and keep up the good work🌻

If we get to the age and physically unable, whom we turn to except for a good Samaritan if our children, grandchildren are unable to look after us even for a single day because they're too far from us. So... indeed neighborhood watch is a Must. Just for a simple act of kindness and humanity... Thank you for making the homeowner happy. God bless..
May God bless you.
Thank you Dennis I appreciate ☺️
May i ask who takes care of the financials of a job like this? Is it the neighbour who complained who pays? The homeowner? Or is this by donation by you? That's a lot of time, energy, and expense incurred. Its sad seeing a community not step up and help an elder, especially one who is unable to do this for themself.
Good on you for doing such a good job.
Great job. Both retired and can't do yard work. Neighbor 2blocks over saw damage to our big tree. Cut broken limbs for wood & free! Now he's our yard man.
Awesome! Glad someone was there to help you
Obstacle course. Good job considering what you had to circumvent. She must be so grateful. Thank you for what you do to help those who can't.
I’m am going to say thank you for caring for the people that will not say thank you 🙏 . You care more then anyone in the world 🌎. Which you the grace and peace ✌️. Rebekah
I have a little suggestion for you. Why don’t you tie a plastic grocery bag to your belt loop for all the small things you pick up, such as small pieces of paper and cans and bottles, etc.?
Whew....I couldn't handle that job without a mask. COVID doesn't scare me at all, but all that dirt and pollen would have me hacking for hours.
I have to agree with the commenters who said that the neighbors should have gotten together and helped those people with their yard. If there were 3 or 4 neighbors working on it together, it wouldn't have taken them all that much time to get it done, even if they only did a little of the work per day over a period of about 3 or 4 days (if even that long).
I am very impressed with you.. Thsnk you FOR NOT throwing in the towel....
Well done. Looks much better than when you started. Thanks for helping this disabled woman.
