The Backyard of Death: Bringing a whole new meaning to Garden Catastrophe!

- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- So some of you will probably remember this property because I've already done 3 episodes here. Back then I decided not to clean up the backyard and some of the front as it was just too crazy. Well, I've had a change of heart, and I'm back to finish off the whole lot. And when I say this yard is crazy, i mean CRAZY! It's full of blackberries, rubbish, old trees and what's left of the garden beds. To get this property back up to scratch, I would say it going to be quite a few episodes. I'm going to do the best I can here, as the homeowner really needs the help. I'm also going to go back over the work I've done, as I could have done better! I hope you enjoy the episode and stay tuned for the biggest transformation I've ever done - What a challenge! All up, I spent around 11.5 hours on this job, including 3 trips to the landfill. This is episode 4 of 11.

FAQ's:
Q: Where are you located?
A: I am from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 🦘.
Q: Do you worry about snakes?
A: I have never even seen a snake in over 5 years on the job.
Q: Which equipment do you use?
A: Mostly STIHL power equipment (battery and petrol) and commercial Honda self-propelled mowers.
Q: How much do the jobs cost?
A: Sorry, I prefer not to talk about costs.
Q: Why don't you use tarps instead of bins?
A: Tarps are too difficult to move through small spaces and lift into the trailer. The same for wheelbarrows, they are only good for unloading the trailer!
Q: Why are the hot water cylinders outside?
A: I would say it's because Australia had a temperate to tropical climate, and therefore it doesn't matter that much if they are outdoors. To me, though, it seems a bit inefficient to have them outside in Tasmania with a temperate climate (coldish for 3 - 4 months per year). But that is industry standard down here 🤷♂️
Q: Why don't you have help?
A: I've had many problems with employees in the past, so now I work alone.
Q: Why don't you have a ride-on mower?
A: Well, there are a few reasons.
1. I don't have the right trailer for a ride on, considering I always take away the green waste.
2. I don't have anywhere to store it, as my shed is too small.
3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can't actually get a ride-on on to the properties.
4. I don't do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k AUD on a stander, but it would be nice to have one!
5. I will get one as soon as my transport and storage problems are solved.
Q: What types of ladders do you use?
A: The large one is a Gorilla Adjustable Platform 150kg and the small one is a Gorilla Mighty 19. They are both adjustable.
Q: Who/what is Jim's Mowing?
A: Jim's Mowing is a franchise business. The Jim's Group is the biggest home services franchise in Australia.
Q: Why do you have 2 channels that seem to be the same?
A: Quick Cuts (my original channel) has music in the background. Quick Cuts V2 is for those that like just machine noise, and it doesn't have music.

Please read the FAQs in the description before posting a question. I answer many common questions there.
You have a compassionate heart and should not cease assisting them if you can especially those in need.
Love the music❤❤❤ had to watch it twice because I fell asleep!😊 was fighting against Ivy today...😂
♥️
You look good with the beard. I really enjoy your videos😊
Great tip 👍🏻
I am so pleased that you decided to go back and finish sorting out the back garden. This family certainly deserves the help, what a horrible illness for them to try to cope with. I am sure the Mum will have a weight lifted off her shoulders after all the work you have done. Thank goodness you met the postman that day.
You are truly a blessing to this family 🙏🏻
I watched Flawless Cleaning yesterday Ben uses a machine like yours to cut down the brambles I think the one with the blade.
He also helps in his community in England especially older people.
How unfortunate this family struggles to get peace. Always chaos. This work you are doing is way more than lawncare. THANK YOU!!
Thank you so much for helping those people. Greetings from Spain.
Hey George
Yet another epic transformation
This one is epic, or will be epic 🙂
It’s amazing the wonderful job you do. I’m enjoying the series. Bless you r a great man of generosity ❤
Well done George!!!❤💯👍
Excellent job 👏👏👏🦘🐨
Work perfect
😍I’m here 😍
You are a good man George, many people point out faults but in reality do nothing to rectify them. You have a kind heart Sir, and I commend you for your strong work ethic and professionalism.
Is it just me, who sometimes thinks, the whole world consist of one GIANT bramble bush? 😱 Very well done George, reconsidering and helping this family out in the end. I'm sure, they really appreciate, what you did! Absolutely love your videos!
so right about that bramble bush! it's a curse in my garden as well.
Don't forget the IVY, the world is a tangle of brambles and ivy! 😄
Man I watch Flawless Cleaning as well; he’s up in Manchester and. I swear I was thinking back in the medieval days the UK must have been one huge island of brambles.
Obrigado, são também minhas as suas palavras. Parabéns Jorge
Some states on USA have vines. They along the ground, weave onto trees and on to your roof. Then there is Kudzu...king of vines. The ferns you have in your area grow in my state of Florida. Pretty in small clumps or pots. They grow everywhere.
So glad you decided to go back and help this family out again. What a difference you’re making.
Hello George, thank you for changing your mind and helping the lady and her son! When i hear about the background story of this family it brought me to tears. God bless you 🙏 Take care ❤️
This cleanup may actually have saved lives. The two doors shown in this video were completely unusable before you cleared away that vegetation, so neither the residents nor firefighters could have used them in the event of a fire. I hope that someday this lady's son finds a successful treatment so that they can enjoy spending time in the garden. Sunshine and plants are very therapeutic!
I’m glad you posted this, as it was my thoughts too, no egress, if there was a fire, unlikely they could get out..thank goodness George has the eye for detail and the shear fitness to get this lovely lady and family their peace of mind and safety back.
Firefighters could get in, of course, but it would not be quick.
It must be such a relief and a joy for the mother to have such fantastic help to restore her garden and give her access to the stairs again. Massive job! You are fantastic!
I'm glad you decided to do the backyard for this woman. The hardship she's had to endure most of us can not fathom. I'm certain this tremendous love gift has renewed her spirit, George. I can feel her burdens lifting with each episode. What a blessing for us all!
I sure hope she can get her son to a facility to get the help he needs! I worry about her safety!
George you are a true miracle worker. You are head and shoulders above everyone else. I do look forward to Saturdays, and watching your videos. Watch each one a few times during the week. Thank you.
Nice, thank you. I hope you like the episode 🌞
Thank you so much
Good for you for going back George! We longtime viewers are with you! I dont know if you know Flawless Cleaning and/or Midwest Magic Cleaning? This backyard fits right there with those even though one is indoors. No judgement, as the saying goes ‘ there but for the grace of God go I’ I hope the woman has community support services for her son and herself.
Been following Ben & team (Flawless Cleaning) and MMM for as long as they have been making YT videos. Along with George, I call them, "My 3 Angels on Earth". They really give me hope for humanity.
@@luannvondracek439 gives me hope as well.
anyone dealing with a loved one with schizophrenia is a special person in my book. They need all the help they can get. That is a very difficult mental disease to deal with. Thank you for helping!!
Yes so heartbreaking.
Knowing how you hate brambles, we know that this helping hand is a sacrificial action of love for a battling family. Thank you, George, for your unselfish support of your community. 🎉❤
Greatest
Love watching you...I'm sure there are many of us who just want to jump in that video and help...there is so much "worthless" garbage on TV these days, that I search for something to watch that still reflects human kindness and work ethics! You are definitely an example of that
sir! May God Bless You !!
Exactly, George always doing everything himself is nerve-wracking sometimes, I want to help him!
Hello George: Thank you very much for helping out this mother. I hope that her son will get the help he needs. Looking forward to all of the other episodes. The yard is looking better already.
People whose family includes one with heavy needs rarely can get out of the financial pit. I love that you came back, knowing the extent of their property. You are making a huge difference to the mother, who, I’m sure, deals with issues we know nothing about. Love to you and to them!
I remember the earlier videos is this series and wondering about the story. Thank you for sharing the background. There are so many people overwhelmed by family members who have mental illness. It's debilitating, but as a parent myself dealing with a daughter with mental illness, there is not much support out there. It seems to be less as time goes by. Your help here, I know, will be a gift of unmeasurable proportions. Thank you so much for your work, helping those who feel helpless and stuck in their situation. By giving them a garden, for even a little while, will give them room to breathe, space to think and in nature, it's so much better than being stuck inside, feeling like there is no escape.
Yes, the homeowner was talking about the light and feeling of space now 🥰
I wonder what the inside of the house looks like if the yard is this bad. I hope this woman has a husband that supports her handling her son if he doesn’t take his meds. Such a sad situation. I hope she’s not in danger and not you either.
This will be such a blessing for the lady. She won’t have it on her mind anymore. You are working your magic one garden at a time. You are amazing George. ❤
Every Saturday, I brew a big cup of coffee, sit in the living room with my iPad, and search for Quick cuts. This has become my Saturday routine. I just loooove George’s videos and how he works and cleans along the way, clearing paths and garden. Amazing as always George
George is always my first video to watch, he's always there first!
He's my favorite too.
So glad you decided to help her.... sounds like she needs it ! It looks great so far.... can't wait for the next ones 😊
Oh my gosh George! There is no medal big enough for this one! Battle with the Blackberries is on! We cannot imagine what that lady goes through on a daily basis caring for her son. That is so tough. By clearing this out, you will give her some peace and her son will have a calmer environment. Blessings!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Death to life again! That takes a special heart, yours George! The family must be beyond appreciative! God Bless you!💚🌿☘️🌱
Thank you 🌞
You George, father and son Paul, Ben in the UK are the very best, guys with heart and soul, this lady needs help big time, but having a son who breaks up her home, she needs help from outside, she might be getting it, no judgement, but all this could affect her health..
Well done George!!!! You have transformed yet another unsightly yard👏👏👏👏👏
I'm sure the resident of this property is absolutely grateful for everything you are and have done to restore her property back to a beautiful state. You're definitely a blessing to these people and your community. Keep up the awesome work George. Blessings to you and your family.
Hello George. I've been watching your videos for years and I think this project is your best so far. My respect for your commitment to people and the quality of your work. Greetings from Germany 🥸
🙋♂️🍻
Agree hello from Canada
I bought a coffee for you, in lieu of an award and a holiday. I am so proud of you for helping this person who is clearly in need.
I'm glad you came back to help close this property. I understand the owners anguish she's dealing with. George thank you. I see this yard identical to my family members life. Chaos, fear, anger. Where do we as patents, stop loving our children, we don't. They fall between the cracks of life. Her struggles are not alone. I truly hope she can help her son and get assistance for his demons that has a hold of him.
Dejligt at se ,at du er tilbage ved dem der har mest brug for din hjælp. Det viser at dit hjerte er på rette sted, og du har genoprettet min tro på dig og godheden i dig. Tak George.🥰🥰💖
Hey Rose, thank you 🥰
Você só responde os membros e dar joia??
@@gomes.3563 He's responded to me before, and I'm not a member. A customer wanted an overgrown beautiful flowering bush cut out, and I asked if it grew in zone 6A-he said uh I'm in Australia, I said I know lol. He probably thinks I'm a crackpot, but it was so pretty, I couldn't believe they had it cut all the way out...?
George, you do help them not only by cleaning the yard, but also by the much more friendly and nicer aspect of their backyard. Don`t underestimate this psychological benefit. Good man.
Thank you for fixing this situation that no one else would help with you hero
🙋♂️
Good on you George, for deciding to do all of the yard. It must have been an extremely hard job. Having a child with mental illness is a lifelong challenge for their parents. Good on you for restoring this property for the mother. I am sure that she is extremely grateful.👍
I can’t imagine the stress and heartache of having a child with that horrible condition. I truly hope she has a good support system. It is so important that she has someone to talk to and to lean on. Thank for helping by giving her a lovely clean garden.
Remember you said no to the backyard. Just glad you decided to, no one does a nicer job on a wayward lot. Especially with those dreaded bramble/blackberries. Mighty fine job George! 🤢😂 ♥️👍
I can’t imagine having a loved one with such a mental condition. It much take all your strength just to hold it together day after day. Thankyou for your compassion George.
GEORGE YOU ARE THE MASTER OF TRANSFORMATIONS ❤❤❤❤❤❤I I LOVE ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING YOU DO. ❤❤❤❤❤ YOU ARE AMAZING
George, thank you for going back and taking care of this disaster. I understand why you needed a vacation before tackling this bramble hell. I am sending a small token to help with the tip fees. Take care and I hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🌞💜🍀
Thank you. I'll get the place looking nicer again 🥰🌞
@@QuickCuts I know you will. You always go the extra mile (or more) with your clean ups. That’s why I love watching your videos. ☺️
Your compassion and kindness is a joy to behold. Continued blessings to you and the homeowner.🎉
Amazing job George. You are rocking that beard by the way😊
I loved how you described the reason for the rear property being so horrible. Your compassion in asking people listening was kind and I am sure appreciated by all family members.
George you are a marvel,you always leave these transformations in immaculate condition.Ahh my nemesis the dreaded brambles. You have done a Fantastic job 😊❤
Saint George....excellent job. I'm sure the lady who lives here is extremely grateful. Bless you.
Seeing you work in long sleeves makes me remember that y'all are in winter.
It was 101 degrees F here in Texas today. It's not climate change. It's just Texas.
I'm thinking it's because of protection from thorns.
My goodness George that's a lot of ways to be carried away great job thank you for helping that family
How do we know what goes on anyone family , unless you walk in their shoes. George thank you
Blackett brambles are the bane of my life too😭👏👏👏👏. Amazing
Such a blessing for a family in need, very generous of you to extend your help in time of need. Indeed the lovely lady has her hands quite full, a challenging situation to say the least. My heart goes out to her and all affected.
OMG, what a mess. You don't even know where to start. Hats off to you for tackling this mess and coming back, there's no sign of a garden, I'm already looking forward to the result. In my estimation, it's going to be great. I can't imagine anything else with you.
George, there is a special place in Heaven for you. We will keep the mother in our prayers and her son.
*THIS* is love for your community in action. Empathy, understanding, support is what everyone needs at our very core. To paraphrase John Donne, 'no person is an island'. Keep up the fantastic work, George!
You have a very compassionate heart, George. Thank you for taking on the yard for this special family -- in spite of the brambles nemesis! Excellent music choices and editing. We who live on the other side of the globe really appreciate learning the names of the plants and trees you encounter. Thank you!
George, you do absolutely brilliant work and help people without prejudice. 💪👏🏼🤩🏠☺️
There are few everyday heroes left in the world but you are absolutely one of them mate! Good luck on this journey, I will be watching all the way to the end!
Спасибо что помог женщине, у тебя огромное доброе ❤ Наконец то у этой женщины будет чистый и красивый двор! Джордж ты умничка,самый лучший и самый крутой на ютубе. Невероятно тяжёлая у тебя работа, но зато сколько радости ты приносишь людям. Музыка 🎶 🎶 🎶 супер. Обнимаю 🤗 Елена 🫶😉. Естественно миллиард лайков 👍 🙋
Thank you for going back and helping this lady❤
Great job❤😊
Ahhh early Saturday morning with George!!! Positive it will amazing 👏
Morning 🙂🌞
Good morning
It’s a relief on how much you’re just done so far 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
I am blown away! I am always so impressed at your work. I am amazed how you uncovered hidden & buried sidewalks, pond, gardens, walls, stairs, two doors that haven't been seen & used in years! ❤ The difference is shocking! Looking forward to the next episode!
Heartbreaking story about this lady and her son. I feel that You are a tremendous blessing to her in many ways, making a huge difference in her life.
Being a psychiatric RN, I completely understand the lady’s issues with caring for someone with schizophrenia. It can be quite a challenge.
It is 4 30 a m. where I live in the U S, I woke up early just because. I checked my phone to see the time and had a notification of your latest video. I haven't watched yet, but Im going to sit down with some coffee and enjoy my very favorite yard transformer! Nobody does better work than you, George😊 Reading some of the comments, I am thankful you are there to help❤❤❤
Mental illness is cruel. I'm so glad you went back to finish. I 🙏 peace for the woman and her son😢❤
I watch so many people who clean up places but I have never seen anyone who does it as well as you... you go above and beyond to get the right job done. This world is a much better place with people like you... thank you so much for helping her.
God Bless this family 🙏🙏🙏 Mental health illness is so debilitating. No one can possibly imagine how heartbreaking this is essentially your child 💔💖💖💖
You are a good caring man George😊
Amazing! George pulled out a patch of garden from under a carpet of rubbish, soil, blackberries and other greenery! And how much more work is ahead on this garden...))
I had a feeling that you would go back to complete this project. You are just too kind, George, and I'm sure it's very hard for you to say NO to anyone. This will be your greatest challenge, and your greatest accomplishment. I will be here, in America, cheering you on as you push through this nightmare. I know the family will love what you have already done. I wonder how many years it took to get this bad. It's a shame, but I understand completely that her son and his medical needs are far more important that yard maintenance. I wish her and her son peace. Thank you George, for everything you have done for so many people. You are a blessing to all of them, and to us, your viewers.
Hugs for you and prayers for the lady and her family.
What a blessing you have been to this family ❤.
Looking at the years of broken rubbish piled up tells a really sad story. Now that the son is a young man maybe the mother can check into a 24hr group home for him and she can visit with him daily or weekly, also he can meet friends and do different activities. This will give each of them a sense of peace and rest especially for the mom also she can ask for help in getting much needed repairs so that she can be and feel safe in her home. My sibling was mentally ill and when he moved out and got help I could see relief on my mother’s face and she was able to rest. 🤷🏽♀️
Hey George, l love when you don't have to wear your hat, l finally got a look at the Handsome guy doing all the Fantastic work, l was wondering if you might tell us how many hours you put in each Episode, lm sure others have wondered that too, l for one was amazed at the change of the first episode you did, looking forward to the next one! Thanks!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, George you are a legend, and a cutie as well! x
G’day from Cleveland Tennessee USA
Absolutely NO judgement for folks in situations like that!!! We don’t know what’s happening on the inside to make the outside look as it does!!
God’s blessings on you, George! Also on that family!!!
This property cleanup is epic. Only one man for the job, fearless George. Blessings
So glad that you decided to continue working on this property. It must be difficult for this mother to deal with someone with a mental illness. Hopefully this major cleanup will lift her spirits. Thanks for the good work you do every time, George. Blessings to you from central Georgia where a decent rain fell after several weeks of scorching heat.
Thank you for going back George. The Bible says to put yourself aside for others and that is what you have done. God will bless you for it.
What a gracious thing you did for this woman in dire need. Glad you decided to go back and help her out. Sure did need it. Can’t wait to see you next week.
I am so glad you decided to tackle this back yard. This poor lady had no way to do it herself. Thank you, George!
I’m so glad you came to the rescue for their yard. I’m sure just getting through each day is challenging enough without the worry of a yard full of rubbish. Hope all good things come your way. Great job, and always great tunes to watch with!
Love the blackberries getting whipper snipped!
I know you hate them George but long sleeve shirts pants and gloves 🧤 helps !!!
Well done 👍
Great episode !!!
I love the rubbish getting picked up the best
Cheers 🥂
Thanks for another fantastic episode
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
As always, absolutely stellar. Kudos for you going back, seems like she really needed the help. I hope she is safe. It can be really scary living with someone who can be volatile. Hopefully the son is receiving on-going medical and psychological help. Thank you for making my Saturday! Looking forward to the rest of the episodes. Blessings on this mom. Hope she has someone to encourage her and stand by her. Thank you again for going back. You are wonderful. Love the slightly bearded look and the glasses. Hmmm, is that a little grey on your chin??? LOL!
hehehe, must be the light reflecting 😂
ONLY A FEW PEOPLE CAN DO WHAT YOU DO, GEORGE. YOU HAVE AWESOME SKILLS.
Thank you George! You did the right thing by coming back over to help this momma! Enjoyed from Texas!
I have really enjoyed this series and look forward to more episodes. I once heard some elderly parents talk about trying to deal with their mentally ill adult children. It was heartbreaking. They love their children and want them cared for at home but it is a challenge, to say the least. Cleaning up her yard so that she can enjoy it again is one less bit of stress in her life and I'm sure will help her immensely. Thank you for all you do.
George you are amazing, and a true blessing to this family.
Thanks for helping another person in need, great job!
Метр за метром отваевываете территорию,потом одно удовольствие смотреть на чистый сад,хоть и устали очень.Да благословит Вас Господь и придаст Вам сил.
Haha..I will have more to say, but wanted to say I’m so happy you went back to this yard! Let’s get hella Stuck In 💪💪
hahaha, it's goin to be a crazy one 🌪️
@@QuickCuts OMG it was! The last before/after shot is amazing! Digging out paths, and full trailers to take away. I’m super jazzed to watch the progress on this yard. The barking dogs on sped up playback Do sound like chickens🤣 and it always makes me laugh. You are the Tasmanian Devil going through this yard 🌪 and I couldn’t be more happy that you are helping this family. Excellent start to the back half of this property👏👏👍👍
Есть такой девиз: Бороться и искать, найти и не сдаваться!
Your vision and strategy are awesome! You uncovered things that were not visible to our eyes. You take on the hardest jobs. I absolutely love your work ❤️. Please keep doing what you do, but also, take care of yourself.
She must have felt so trapped in that house.. no where to go to just breathe. I am a 24/7 care giver and if I did not have the porches and yard to breathe in I would be less sane. Great job. ❤❤❤
Schizophrenia is so sad. The medications are very strong, often turning the patient into a zombie. Many patients refuse to take them for that reason, but then they deal with altered reality. Tell the mom she’s a saint. P.s. I knew you’d do the back….. blackberries not withstanding. (You’re a saint too)
I regret that often there isn’t enough recognition to the people that give care to those with mental illnesses. I feel like if it a choice between giving the needed care and mowing the lawn, well, very reasonably, the lawn will be the one that gets put on the back burner, not by want but by necessity. Thankfully there are people like George that absolutely Will make the yard a much better place and relieve the mom from that burden!😊
Thank you for deciding to continue helping her. Maybe when all is restored, she can find some “me time” out there. 😊❤
George you are so incredibly kind to go back to this place to tackle the backyard. The front was bad enough! I just can't believe what you achieved in this episode! They couldn't even use that back door up the stairs! Having an exit blocked is not safe! Now they'll be able to use it, and they will get a lot more light in the loo and bathroom since you removed all that growth up the wall. When I saw the old rock pool I felt quite sad. It seems that there was an effort made at one time to beautify the yard and that somewhere along the way all hope had been lost, but now you have come to the rescue like a shining knight in a fairytale. I'm sure the mother will be feeling this way. I feel so sorry for the young man, and for his mother. Schizophrenia is a horrible disease. I hope his caseworker and psychiatrist are making sure he is on the right meds and dosages so he doesn't fly off the handle. Thank you so very much for this. I can't wait to see how it looks when you finish, and maybe/hopefully it will be a nice place for them to relax, listen to the sounds of Nature and maybe indulge in a bit of gardening - but not blackberries!!!!! Hahahaha.
Заросший двор, заваленный мусором погружает в состояние тоски и безысходности. Хочется надеяться, что наведя в этом дворе порядок, Вы, Джордж, подарите хоть маленькую радость людям, находящимся в тяжёлой жизненной ситуации. Как же хочется, чтобы все были счастливы!
You did a great job for the lady George, love your caring work. 🥰
Love the way you contextualize each project. You never say too much or too little - just the right set up each time. You position your camera for the best angles. Your modus operandi is spot on - you show every step of the way in such a fluid and satisfactory manner in real time and time lapse. And you do have lots of competition on RUclips, but your presentation outshines them all. Plus your generosity and kindness of heart is just the tonic the entire planet needs right now with all the vitriol and hostility being put forth towards one another. Power to you my friend. KBO as Winston Churchill use to say = "keep buggering on"
