UNSAFE Sidewalk Blocks Firehouse SAFE ZONE Access
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- In this video, we're tackling a sidewalk that has become so overgrown, it’s almost impossible to walk on without tripping or running into obstacles. The sidewalk is right next to a fire station, a place that's meant to keep us safe, but this overgrowth is creating a real safety hazard. We all know how important it is to have clear paths, especially near places like this. In this video, you'll see how we work to clean it up, and with your support, we can make sure this important area is safe and accessible for everyone. Thank you for being a part of this!
I hope your community recognizes the good you bring to them!
That’s really sweet, thank you! 🙏
Definitely!
It makes me laugh when you say, "We can't have that here." But in all seriousness, more cities could benefit from your saying. Well done.
Thank you 🙏
My wife says it makes me sound extremely southern (which I am) but honestly it’s true, so I keep saying it
I love it when he says, “We can’t have that here.” It’s kinda like his trademark!

It is! 😂 Look at his merch. He sells a coffee mug with this slogan. It's hilarious. 🎉😂🤣👍😎
@@marie_84 you know I had to embrace it!
Wow Derek, you not only beautified that sidewalk and yard, but you also improved the road and Hwy safety. When you removed the proturbing brush, you made the approach to that corner clear and definitive. Such obstacles can be confusing to some drivers and develop excessive braking which could result in collisions. Derek, thank you for protecting your community. Appreciate you
It's a great feeling knowing our work can help make a difference in the safety of our community. 👍 Thank you Pat for those kind words 🙏
Good job Derek. You should be proud of what you do for your community, I know I’m proud of you.
Thank you so much Karen, your support means a lot 🙏
Nicely done - imagine the resident coming home and seeing the yard cleanup!😅
I wish they had shown up while we were there, but I bet they were shocked 😳
It's so sad that busy roads don't have well-kept walkways for pedestrians. Well done yet again!❤❤❤
Right! This has to be a basic necessity to just maintain a safe area for everyone to walk
@@aprilalkire4182 actually I believe this lack of maintenance on streets is everywhere cities are cutting back on things unfortunately the streets and infrastructure are not a priority. I’m glad there are people who see the problem and will help their community appearance.
It's also cities get pissed off at people for helping make the city look better you do anything to city property they give you tickets
Isn't it a myth in USA that people walk around, they never leave their cars!
@@Hairpie69720 I sure hope not, but if they do give me one yall will be some of the first to know about it
Derek! I love that you work on public sidewalks. Can I suggest you take more time showing after shots. You do all that hard work and we don’t see many after shots. Keep up the good work. 😊
I am always looking for ways to improve the videos, and so I will see what I can do going forward! Thank you 🙏
Before and after pics are great
That was fun. I love that you pull up those larger weeds. It helps hold them back. Good job.
Thank you 🙏 I agree that it helps a lot and with cooler weather approaching this should actually allow the sidewalk to remain clean until spring
Pull those large suckers up. Keeps them at bay. Nice work.
Hi Derek
I'm glad you had
another " we can't have that here" moment and got rid of that mess.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Stay safe when you're out there near those busy streets.
I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! 🙏 I keep an eye on the traffic all the time, but promise to keep that up!
I was glad to see you friend, you do a great justice to this sidewalk. Thanks for sharing 👏 👍 😊 😀 🙂
Thank you for watching Terry and I am glad you liked the video! 🙏
That road is very busy! Stay safe my friend!
It is one of the major roads in town so I promise I had my eyes on the traffic the entire time lol
Fantastic job, Derek! I'm sure that homeowner will be glad to have the front yard looking amazing! God bless and be safe!
Thank you 🙏 I wish they had shown up while we were there, but I hope they are excited

What a mess! That sidewalk was awful! Thank you for all that you do to make peoples lives safer and more satisfying. That was both dangerous and depressing.❤
I am glad I could do my part to make things safer 🙏
Very nice work Derek
Thanks John! I appreciate your support

Thank you for your support 🙏 and those kind words!
Im here just to support you! Because the sidewalks you find need it and you need to know we appreciate You❤. Thank you sir!!!
Thank you for your support 🙏! It means a lot to me.
You do keep your eyes out. Love seeing instant improvements, as driver visibility, as you move streetside tall weeds....
Thank you Robert! I do keep my eyes off and have to stay that way to be safe next to these roads. I am glad you enjoyed the video
God Bless the one who made, the sidewalk safe. People can get to the Fire station safer now. The world needs more like him.❤❤❤
You always do such a fine job.
Mary you are too kind! Thank you 🙏
It is so damn good to finally see someone pull out all the big weeds before mowing over them normally they just mow over them and I wondered if they just came back which I thought they did you did a very amazing job.
Thank you 🙏 for those kind words! It does add a lot more work, but since we pulled these weeds I know that it will stay clean throughout winter!
You've done a great job on this sidewalk! Such a busy road! Makes it even more dangerous for you. The people walking along there will really appreciate what you've done. Keep up the good work!
Thank you 🙏 I am glad we are able to help because you know that guy running probably goes the same way every day for his run
Another fabulous job on your part for your city. Glad to see you wearing your mask. Safety and health first.
Thank you for your support 🙏 the mask definitely has helped me with my allergies
Nice Job as usual Derek, you are a blessing to the Community.
Thank you 🙏 for your kind words and support!
Derek, you do such a fantastic job! I look forward to your videos. I'm watching from Coastal Georgia USA 🇺🇸
That means a lot, thank you! 🙏Jean
The City or the County should pay you for the work that they won’t do. We Love your videos. God Bless
I really appreciate your support, it means a lot! 🙏
it's the property owners who are to clean and maintain sidewalks
Enjoy seeing these sidewalks cleaned up...they were an eyesore and a menace. Thanks Derek.
Derek great job cleaning up this sidewalk.
Another amazing transformation. Thank you for what you do. This clean up not only makes it safer to walk it also provides a sense of caring for this community. God bless you. Happy Thanksgiving 🍁.
Thank you!🙏 You are too kind and I appreciate the support! Happy thanksgiving 🦃 my friend!
Well done Derek - watching from England.
Thank you 🙏 for your support!
As usual Nicely Done! Thank You Derek. Now it can be safely USED!
Thank you 🙏 for your continued support! I bet the runner will be excited when he sees it next time!
@DereksLawnRescue Yeah, I saw him, Hopefully he'll think of YOU and SMILE!:-)
There are all different kinds of volunteer or service work that can be done to raise up a community. Back in my day, community cleanups were way more popular. I'm truly sorry that civic pride seems to be falling by the wayside, so thanks for leading by example and taking care of a problem when you saw one!
I am glad to be able to help and support my community in any way I can!
I'm so glad you popped up on my RUclips. I really like the work do. Thank you for making the side walks clean and now people who run and walk will enjoy a clear walk way.
I'm glad you like the work! I appreciate your support 🙏
Nice work Derek 👍
Thanks 🙏
Great job. Watching from Houston Texas
Thank you 🙏 for your support PeggySue!
It was my first time watching you. Thank you for cleaning up the sidewalk. What impressed me the most was your statement that you pull the grass once you can to prevent future growth. I liked that. I also liked the caring personality that shined through.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate your kind words! 🙏
Good job Derek 😇💖💯👍
Thank you for your support, I appreciate it 🙏
I remember that day well, I am so glad that you are feeling better. Stay safe and have a wonderful Thanksgiving
Thank you for your kind words and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving as well 🙏
Great transformation 😊
Thank you! 🙏
You are such a blessing!!❤
You are too kind 🙏
Those cars are scary. I don’t know how you do it with them so close. ❤
It can be, but I stay very aware of the cars and this is why we have to have these sidewalks safe for pedestrians
I used to work on I-95 in Connecticut. You should come out there and deal with the idiots that don't move over and the truckers that think it's sport to blow the hats off the workers
I’m so glad for all of you gentlemen that take on a job that needs done
You step up and hit it out of the park
Wish more people would do this and help others
Thank you for the kind words Sharon!
Those carpets of grass… geez!!! 😅
You are a wonderful person. Thank you for all you do.❤
Cyndy you are too kind 🙏
22:46 looking forward to Part 2. good job brother!
Thank you 🙏 for your support! I am trying to get ahold of the person living there to get permission to clean up the back
Great job you are doing! Thanks for being a good guy.
Thank you for your kind words and support 🙏
this traffic is horrendous so glad you have your bright vest on. Good Job
It definitely is one of the major roads in town
Terrific job Derek,,,
Thank you 🙏
Nice job Derek👍
I appreciate that! 🙏
Great job on the cleanup. A much needed improvement.
like what you are doing just surprised that the city doesn't go after these home owners . nice work
Thank you 🙏 Steven! There is a city code making the homeowner responsible but they honestly don’t do a good job enforcing it
Homeowners are not responsible for cleaning and maintaining public sidewalks and weeds... thank you for your hard work.vreat results
evidently the people are not aware of any codes...
Nice work Derek! I hope you gain some profitable work for doing this act of kindness! Good Luck with your business!🇺🇸
Thank you for the kind words! 🙏
Yes, you make a real difference🙌🙌
You are too kind 🙏
You are awesome person great job You did 🤗🤗😁😁👍👍👍👍👍💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you 🙏 for your kind words and support!
Great work alot of work for one guy lots of respect from Norfolk Virginia 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Sure made that strip of street look a heck of a lot better and now people can use it with better ease 😅😅
Thank you 🙏 it really did need it!
very well done,....and very generous
Thank you 🙏 for your kind words, I appreciate your support!
We need more people like you and keep up the good work
❤❤❤ nicely done

You're a good man Derek. Great job as usual. Merry Christmas!!
Very nice Derek, so much better on the eye..
I think so too! And now it is safe for everyone
Great job young man

Absolut tolle Arbeit! Die Stadt müßte sie entlohnen für die viele Arbeit, zumindest aber belobigen.
Thank you 🙏 for your kind words!
Those weeds where big great job
Thank you 🙏 Sandra! I appreciate your support

Great job mate , keep plugging away 👍 you make a huge difference 👏 🍺🇬🇧
Thanks 🙏, will do!
Awesome work.
Thank you! 🙏
Fantastic job another excellent job helping the community 👏 👍 ❤😂🎉
Thank you! You are too kind. 🙏
Hun please use some red cone , maybe ppl will slow down or change lane . Thank you for keeping your community clean,🙌 from California USA
Thank you 🙏 for your support! I am not allowed to block off the lane next to where I am working, but I can put it on the sidewalk. Do you think that would help?
Question ??? How many Bus stops are on the Road/Street ??? Keep up cleaning the City !!! 😊😊😊
Honestly I don’t know the exact answer but there are at least 3 per side of the street every mile! I will keep it up
Excellent job thank you🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! 🙏 I appreciate your support!
Happy Thanksgiving Derek 😮😊safety first 😊
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 to you too Karalyn, I hope you have a great one!
Nice transformation brother as always!👌👌👌
Thanks 🙏 my friend!
Looks fantastic
Thank you 🙏
Good job Derek!❤. Glad you are careful around the heavy traffic. Try red cones at both ends of the sidewalks you do for your safety to perhaps slow the traffic.
Thank you for your concern! I appreciate it. I am not able to block off the street next to where I am working but I am able to put cones out on the sidewalk. Do you think it’s worth it?
@ totally up to your comfort.🥰
Thankyou for being the workerperson you are and caring about stewardship.of our areas.
Thank you 🙏 for your support Pauline
Derek i often think we are just like larger ants. Our buildings get knocked down we rebuild them just like ant hills. I wonder if ants have their own litter and debris that other ants clean up after. Anyway thank you for making another sidewalk safer. You stay safe on those busy roads!
I honestly have never thought of it that way but I bet they do go through their own version of that
Awesome job. Looks way better!
Thank you 🙏
Thank you 😊
Thank you 🙏 for your support!
@14:15 can you just imagine how long this brush and weeds have been growing there?
A job well done sir ! 😎👍🇺🇲
Thanks so much!
Good job!!
Thank you 🙏 for your support Nancy!
People that use that sidewalk are going to be so relieved. I bet it reduced stress for the homeowner too.
I agree! I went back and left a business card so hopefully they call me so we can do the backyard as well
You have done an outstanding job 🏋🏽♂️🏋🏽♂️🏋🏽♂️👍🏽 I am a new subscriber, you deserve a lot more subscribers, as hard as you work …. I hope you won’t quit …… God Bless You for what you are doing !!! 💗💗💗
Thank you 🙏 for your support and kind words, I'm glad you found the channel! I don’t plan on quitting anytime soon
Clean groomed neighborhoods bring about safe and healthy communities. 💯 % fact. ❤❤❤
Amen! 🙏
Hi It is time for a trim for you curb peal goes a long way. Good job with the clean up of the walk way.
If you’re talking about my beard and hair you will be in for a surprise lol. I have been growing it out like this on purpose because I want to get a specific haircut
Good job Derek, aren’t you nervous that close to traffic? Now that runner we saw in the beginning won’t have to do his dance and hopping.
I agree it will be much better for him now that its cleaned up. I used to be nervous around busy traffic, but I have learned to just pay attention to the traffic on the street and wear the vest so that I am easily visible
