- TOWNSHIP THREATENS FINE towards ELDERLY GRANDMA for Overgrown Yard, Who's Behind this?
This Elderly Grandma was contacted by the Township and they threatened to fine her if she didn't have her Overgrown Bushes cut. I stopped over and took care of the overgrowth then the unthinkable happened, the neighbors recognized me. Later on I found out who may have turned her in, wait until you hear this.

Thankyou Erik, and your crew for helping this elderly lady.. ..Is some real mean folk out there, with some false sense of authority, like the post lady.. Who does she think she is?? You did a fantstic job there, and i know she would be very greatful for all you have done. THANKYOU xx
I think both the township and the mailperson were out of line. The mailperson could have spoken to the homeowner, and would have found out she was elderly and she could have just encouraged the homeowner to get the hedges trimmed. She did not have to file a complaint against the homeowner. The township should have come out to the homeowner's house to assess the nature of the complaint and suggest how she could make her hedges neater, or options in lawn care companies. It would seem that people are too quick to cast judgement and think the worst of others before finding out the reasons for someone's behaviour (or in this case, a lack of upkeep). Humans, we need to do better by and for each other.
I'd file a complaint with the postmaster and on up the chain of command about the mail lady trying to be the ordinance police instead of just doing her job. Probably wouldn't do any good but I'd do it anyway.
That may have happened if anyone cared about each other and that's the problem lack of caring for each other
Amen!
Comment of the year righht year! God bless
Amen!
You are very kind to help the lady. You are an inspiration to many to be mindful of their surroundings and to help as you have. My son helps in this way in our village when time permits and people appreciate it as much as I appreciate you. I wish you good health and strength!💯👍👍
APpreciate you
Great job Erik. The people need you
I need all of you
Yes out of line she can’t get out there and do all of that you are a great guy keep up the great work
Thanks my friend, hope you smashed that subscribe button!
No the post person is out of line. Township should work with the elderly.
Amen
These communities are horrible. Why don’t they organise to help the elderly and disabled instead of filing complaints. One part of the USA I wouldn’t be proud of for sure.. great job 👍
Totally agree with you. Americans used to help each other, that's how America became America. I guess we are just afraid somebody going to shoot us. 🤔
Amen
amen
It’s amazing what a little bit of kindness will do
The world is such a messed up place where people complain as apposed to helping or showing concern! Good on you Erik! The world needs more people like you ❤️🙏
Instead of harassing her they should of been trying to help her you did a fantastic job Looks fabulous
Thanks my friend, feel free to share
These videos make me realize how blessed I am to live in a relatively small town. Their neighbors, as well as local churches, help the elderly and disabled to maintain their property. I appreciate that you help the people where you live. You make a difference! Thank you!
Love hearing from you!!
very well said! bless
I wish ppl these days would give more compliments than complaints. Thank you for your help!👍👍
Amen to that! Complaining is just easier
I just do not understand how those hedges had anything to with mail delivery. It doesn't appear that they are blocking the mail box in any way. Good thing you found out about this situation! You were able to trim the hedges very nicely and made an elderly lady's day better😀💜
Hello oralee
They need a new mail carrier! Or one that can talk to the lady to help her understand why the bushes were an issue! SMH!
Communication is everything, I agree
What’s next? The mail person doesn’t like the color of her house? So she has to paint? Ridiculous. I will say that Erik did an amazing job. Thank you Erik for caring. You are the best.
Thanks my friend, feel free to share
What is wrong with the bush height? It’s no different than if evergreens or even trees were growing along there. I don’t understand unless it is impeding the sight for traffic.
Me either!
It's truly ashamed that the neighbor's don't help out, when necessary, this is what neighborhoods should do, if they want their community to look a certain way! HELP OUT WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS cannot AFFORD to hire the professionals, needed to maintain her yard!
Appreciate you, not sure it was on the neighbors, but I agree Neighbors should help one another but folks also need to ask
@@OutdoorswithErik You are so RIGHT ON, but some individuals find it VERY HARD to ask .... and I am one of those individuals! What's so weird is that when I see someone in need or need help with something, I automatically offer! Truth is, there are NOT many good people around like you who GO UP, KNOCK on a door & ask if its OK to take care of their overgrown yard!
By the way the last time I ask, they said that I would have to pay a price that I could NOT afford! ) - ;
God bless you ❤
You are doing wonderful things for people. I wish more people around the country would help those who need it like you do.
You are so kind!
I never understood this rule, its their yard so why should they get fined for having overgrown grass in THEIR PROPERTY?
Completely agree
Why can’t people just let others alone?
Beautiful job.
I remember my dad standing on a picket board between 2 A frame ladders trimming 100 year old privet hedge. He sure would have loved your tools. 😊
Hi Erik
As always another great video. Surprising how a simple trimming produces such amazing results.
Again thanks for being such a blessing to your community.
I can't do things to the extent that you do. But you encourage me to do what I can.
I had a neighbor who's A/C guit working and I was able to give her a fan for the few days it took to fix it.
Kindness is always a plus .
Praying strength for you to be able to keep doing what you do.
I've been telling others to check out your channel.
Will be looking for the next episode
Thanks so much, thanks for helpiing your neighbors!
The township was tripping on this lady for nothing. If she is not in the town she can let her hedges grow as long as she wants. Nice trimming Erik as always. BTW I realized your was not helping you, but he is back in school now. 🙂. Take Care and Stay Safe and Hydrated 💦
He was at football practice
Three are some many issues with what is happening now in our society. We seem to have lost a great deal of simple communication and compassion for and with others. Eric is an example of what people used to be, a neighbor/person that would be there to put away trash cans left by the curb, help if a dog got loose, look out for those who need help. There are people out there like Eric and we need to hear more about people like him. Stay well and thank you Eric.
Instead of this grandmother’s neighbors complaining, why didn’t they get out and help her? I have some in my neighborhood who will sit outside in chairs and watch me do my yard. And yes I’m a grandmother too on a fixed income and will be 75 in a week. I have had some health issues but no one has ask if I needed help. So shame on these complainers.
AMEN, Brenda!!!😊
Damn that is crazy
I think they were way out of line, gone are the days when someone would just ask if everything is OK, and does someone need a hand, rather than just complaining to the township, we never know what someone is going through, unless we ask. You guys have done such an amazing job here, and you can tell just how thankful she is for what you've done, so well done.
Looks great ! Thanks for your hard work and paying it forward to those folks in need.
Really brilliant transformation job Erik thanks for the video and helping out your community
My pleasure!
Eric, you're doing a great job on those bushes.. Thank you for helping out another Elderly person. I wish that more people were like you. God Bless you for helping others.
Thanks my friend, hope you smashed that subscribe button!
Huhu, vídeo novooooo 👏👏👏...BOM DIAAAA.... Grande abraço do Brasil 🇧🇷💚💛💙🤍🇧🇷👏👏👏
We are so proud of you for helping that lady thank you God bless.
Blessed you stopped by
I agree. Of what authority does the mailperson have to complain about someones bushes? If she has to deliver packages and doesn't feel safe within the area, then she should leave a card to that affect. Sheesh. Just like an HOA. NOT.
It looks good. Most places do not want anything taller than 4 ft in front of your house and I think it's because they want to be able to see your address on the house and that's probably what the case was here cuz it is like a fence. It looks good keep up the good work
Thanks brother, didn't think of that
Great video and great job.
Must be some corruption at town hall if a rural route mail carrier has enough clout to cause that to be a violation.
Keep up the fantastic work you do Erik.
Thanks my friend, hope you smashed that subscribe button!
It Might be a Height Limit similar to have some Towns/ Cities will only allow a certain Height fence in front yard. Like alot of Towns or Cities will have a Fence in Front yard of max of 3 or 4 feet. Anything Higher you can get fined and ordered to correct the Height or Remove the Fence. But it would also include Bushes and hedges as well.
Yes. That’s the rule here in our town
Then thhey should say that
I think the mail person was out of line. It's a sad state of affairs when public service sticks their nose in where it doesn't belong. Good job Erik, keep on doing what you do!
Thanks my friend, feel free to share
I live in a small town too and here's what I still haven't been able to figure out. People like this elderly woman are being harassed about the height of her hedges and their yards. But you can look all around the town and see city property some of which the city has taken away from the owner. The grass, weeds along with all the other trash is hundreds times worst but no one says anything about that. Within a four block area less than a mile from my house are no less than 12 homes that have burned and should have been torn down two or three years ago. But because the city owns them absolutely nothing has been done. Kids play in and around these properties and have been injured but still nothing has done.
What happened to help your neighbors. Sad that the elderly and disabled people are always left out. Thank you for all you do for them.
Thanks my friend, hope you smashed that subscribe button!
Well you did an awesome job on those bushes. They look great! You inspire me to look around my town to find someone that needs help, don’t have to be a next door neighbor. - watching from Lake Wales, Florida
Appreciate you!
Nice to be a true friend of your fellow neighbors
Beautiful job Eric. Your good deed for the day. God bless you and that nice lady. ❤️🙏❤️
Awesome seeing you again!
Hi Erik, you are putting the finishing touches on that hedge! I didn't think it looked that bad to begin with. Postal Carrier complained? Maybe he or she could have come by on the weekend to help this woman? When I was growing up there would always be teenagers going around knocking on doors to ask if someone needed anything done. Like cut the grass etc. Aren't they out there anymore? My arms would have fallen off in the first 5 minutes Erik. You just kept plowing through like it was nothing! Great job!
LOL, thanks, my arms were sore
I recommend to use jeans or any type protection for your leg. If you using the brush cutter, sling type especially, in the event there is any sharp object (metal or etc), it may cut your leg big time. Talking from experience. Nice work done.
Good feedback, did take a rock to the ankle
He did an amazing job. That was a lot of work. And yeah the county was out of line.
👏🏻❤️
Great job ! This guy is one hard working man, such a blessing to so many.
Totally agree with Ms Johnson. Erik is show neighborly concerns. He is a wonderful example to all. Thank you Erik
Appreciate you my friend
The lady's yard looks well maintained..
Surprised the only complaint was the bushes..
Ehh oh well at least a semi easy job for you!
Good work!
Yard wasn't bad
Nice of you Erik to help this Elderly Lady with her bushes, which more people would help rather than complain, we have lost that giving a hand to other’s over the past few decades.
Amen
Helping is always nice , I can see the mail person concern any one could hide in those bushes and attack them while they were working in today's world it's nice to know they can be seen by the people living there should they need help. Great job !
Thanks my friend, feel free to share
If it’s rural the mail person stays in the truck or car and doesn’t walk house to house
hi from Amsterdam, love your work❤
Thanks my friend, hope you smashed that subscribe button!
Hey Eric, another great JOB thanks, just a thought you might want to trade that gas powered trimmer out for another one that works better sorry I dont know which one is better, but the electric one you have is way more better,,,,
Oh I agree, I HATE the gas powered one, it's junk
Well done. Thanks for helping out your community and thanks for sharing the video.
Appreciate you being here
My grandmother was cited back in the 1980’s. I was right out of high school and I called and asked who complained. According to the law you have the right to know. It was her next door neighbor that knew her forever and knew she could barely walk. We confronted him and he tried to deny it. We said why didn’t you just come to us? You know we would have taken care of it! Never did like that guy!!
I think they were definitely out of line. You did an awesome job. Thanks for helping
Thanks my friend, feel free to share
You are truely amazing, god bless you and thank you for all you do!💙🙏🏻🌳🏡⭐
You are amazing!
When pruning hedges, it is always like this, how much time does it take to prune, then cleaning the greenery takes almost the same amount of time😉
Took a while for sure, love how iit turned out
@@OutdoorswithErik Sure, great job!
Well done you. Shame other ppl dont help.
Thanks my friend, hope you smashed that subscribe button!
Nice job Eric,your awesome to help out the elderly,thanks.
Great job Eric,looks great.
My ex-neighbour was the laziest man I’ve ever known.
Here in the UK the pedestrian paths run flush with the edge of your property.He had a huge,thick hedge flush with the pavement.Honest to God it was about 15 foot high and hung out over the pathway by about one and a half feet. I’m 5’3” and had to duck to get past it.
He came storming to my house one day to say that the council had received complaints about it and said it was a hazard to the public and he had one week to cut it back or they would take action.He accused me of reporting him even though I had never complained to anyone about it.He supposedly had a back injury and couldn’t work so received Social Security Benefits every week.His wife worked in a very low paid job.He was shouting that he couldn’t afford to get it cut,and what he was going to do to the person who reported him when he found out who it was.He was a nasty piece of work.His wife confided in me one day that his back was fine and he was just milking the system for money because he was too lazy to get a job.(She’d finally had enough and was divorcing him,he used to knock her around too).After the divorce she told the Benefit people he was faking it.Apparently they put him under surveillance and caught him doing things he said he couldn’t because of his back.They stopped his benefits.(God takes His time but always punishes wrongdoers).
After a week the council visited him and said he either cut it back and paid a hefty fine,or they would remove the hedge completely and he’d have to pay them for removing it.He was incandescent but was forced to let them remove it and pay.
I later discovered from a close friend who worked for them that it was the Association for Guide Dogs for the Blind that had reported him as our road was one they used,and still do,to train blind people who had just been paired with a newly trained Guide dog,as it was quiet and safe as a “starter road” for them to get used to each other.
If only he had kept it cut back it wouldn’t have been a problem.Even people with strollers often had to walk in the road to avoid it hitting the child.
Why and when did so many people lose the sense of consideration for others?
I was so glad when she kicked him out.She is a lovely woman and the house was bequeathed to her when her parents passed.
I have similar bushes at the front of my house. They get quite sparse in winter but once spring hits they get out of control quickly!
I get that it doesn’t look neat but I don’t see what the issue was? It’s odd the mail carrier would complain seeing as it looked like they had clear access to the mail box.
Maybe she grew the hedges like that because she wanted privacy, granted they are a little wild & could use a little trim. Shame on the mail lady for being the yard landscaping police instead of doing her own job or hey maybe go talk to the he owner to find out what's going on instead of complaining
Looks much better. Don't understand why mail lady would complain and guess we never will
The mail lady was not very nice to do what she did.She could have spoken to the home owner and asked her to trim around the mail box.She may be in the same position one day and I don,t think she would like it.Keep up the good work as it helps so many people
Another beautiful job, Erik. People can be so petty - you certainly helped to defuse the situation. Thank you.
Thanks my friend, hope you smashed that subscribe button!
@@OutdoorswithErik Absolutely I'm a subscriber! Have an amazing weekend. 😁
I believe that they were out of line. Sad that the neighborhood didn't help out. Thank you for helping her.🇨🇦😊👍
Glad to help
Great job Erik on the hedges! Looks great! What a blessing you are!
Hey great job as usual
I noticed that your hedge trimmer attachment on the stiel the blades need to be sharpened your small hand held trimmer was cutting it like butter it must of been a struggle with the big trimmer
Keep up the good work
I also noticed that your becoming famous
Like famous Amos the Chocolate chip cookie guy lmao 🤣 😂 😆
See people really do appreciate what you are doing out there👍
LOL, that big cutter sucks!
@@OutdoorswithErik ya I seen you just a struggling with it but try sharpening the blades on it and it will be alot better mine did the same thing to until I started sharpening it regularly lol 😆
Grate job, thanks for helping the lady out.
God bless you and all the people that does things for people God's blessing on you
Sounds to me like the mail person didn't like the tall bushes bcuz they couldn't be nosey and see what was going on, you can't have bushes for privacy anymore bcuz people want be nosey and see what's going on, I would have taken the bushes down and put up an 8ft fence, then said how do you like me NOW! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
LOL love it
Sounds like this whole town including the mail person are all Karens & Kevins they can’t even lift a finger to give this beautiful elderly person a helping hand. So very selfish full of themselves.😢
Thank you so much for helping this woman out. Excellent job.🎉❤😊
Far as I know this type of thing happened in my country.
Huge improvement. Great job.
THanks Joe
You're a Hero to all those you so willingly help and to us! Thank you for your kind service.
Thanks my friend, feel free to share
That MAIL-Person needs to apologize for the way they handled this issue. So rude! Mean and impolite. At least meet the lady and APOLOGIZE!
I understand that sometimes the mailboxes may be hard to reach, BUT in this instance, I didn't notice the overgrown hedges were obstructing the mail delivery. We sometimes need to ask ourselves if their is anyway we can help mankind instead of being quick at complaining about an issue, we don't know if that homeowner had a hardship and had been unable to trim the hedges........Thank God we have people like you to help out, bless you❣️
I wish you had subtitles as I an deaf 🧏♀️
You could have just trimmed around the mail box but you did everything. My mail lady said there wasn't enough room between my car and the tall bush. I'm able to walk through with the biggest waste garbage/recycle containers and they're huge so maybe she needs to go on a diet. People complain about everything these days.
I love your videos Eric, keep them coming.
Glad you like them!!
What a difference. People that complain about other people's property usually has property that's not that great themselves.
Thanks my friend, hope you smashed that subscribe button!
You need new blades on that hedge trimmer. You shouldn’t have to struggle so much. You are such a kind, caring man. Don’t put so much stress on your arms and shoulders. Take care of yourself. Work smarter not harder. I enjoy your videos an worry about you sometimes.
Wow, what a big difference...thank you for helping this lady out. Keep doing what you love!!
I think the mail person that turned her into the Township should have just put a note in her mailbox. That was a pain the butt job though lol Government agencies are always good at being bullys. What do they care, they don't know the person. You did a good job.
That's a wonderful job and your remarkable person for helping people in need. I think it was very much out of character for the male person in a township. Knowing that she was not able to get out there and do it herselves. Maybe they should have taken a weekend and come out there and trimmed it for her for free. Shouldn't we be helping each other rather than complaining about each other trying to bring somebody down ..
I think they should have told the mail carrier to mind their own business and do their job because the home owner is elderly and handicapped!!!!!! And if it bothers the mail carrier then they should have fixed the problem themselves and shut up!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see that your gas powered trimmer sucks at cutting tall branches of those bushes, but your electric ones work excellently. You should just use the gas powered trimmer for the ending touch up. Also I think you should have just taken the cuttings away with you, those are just going to be a smokey mess when she tries to burn them.
I don't think you noticed the yard across the street as you were ending the video, but the grass at the road was really high. Maybe they could use your help too.
Great job Erik, I don't understand why anyone would have a problem with these bushes as the rest of the yard looks fine, and this is an elderly woman who lives here....
Super job! You made a huge difference. Focus on the positive. Don't let mean people get you down.
How about talking and asking if she needs assistance. Neighbour's don't want to talk anymore
Folks are afraid, world has gone bonkers
Here in Australia the Councils can organise mowing and gardening for the elderly. Should do that in the U.S.
great job! those were some out of control bushes but now look so pretty. You do excellent work and always inspire me to get moving on my projects around the yard
Wow you opened them up and see through them I would and left them thick for privacy and tried them in shape but now they shut up for awhile and they grow back into shape
Elderly???? She’s not elderly!!! Looks like she’s in her fifties…that’s not elderly!!!
I wonder who else the mail person has put complaints on,I bet she doesn't have a perfect home herself ,just remember mail person karma is a bitch.
Wow! That looks gorgeous! 🤩😍💖💗💘
Nice job Erik, glad you were able to help this lady out. Absolutely out of line Erik, I have seen worse and towns does nothing. 👍👍👍👍👍😉🇺🇸
I didn't think they were that bad!
What is wrong with these people. Don’t they believe in helping their neighbours instead of complaining.
much better, I guess she didn't want those tomato plants anyway.
Tomato plants are fine, only lost 1
stupid neighbours in every town just got nowt else better to do wonder what they going find complain about next
Why isn't there help from the cities and townships for people in need? That irritates me !🤥🤥🤥
Your number one best friend and brother thankyous ✌️🙏😇🥰🎶
I’m not sure why it is the mail persons place to complain. Like unless it is keeping her from doing her job then be quiet.
What a gentle soul is yours !
Hey Eric, Bizarre is an understatement! Has the Mail Lady got nothing better to do with her time? I think complaining about someone's bushes on their property, way out in the countryside, by the Mail Carrier is a bit PATHETIC. 🤨The Mail Lady was probably a "KAREN" with an overinflated sense of Self Importance & Superiority due to her having the Mail job - Prejudiced Power Tripping and Plain Harassment if you ask me - IMO.
What a Fabulous job you've done Eric. 🤩 The Hedges look Great!
Hopefully this will shut down that "Miserable Mail Karen" and the township can just back-off
from their Petty Harassment of this Homeowner.
No idea, didn't even think it was that bad!
