I agree I do a lot of drainage work in New England as a heavy equipment operator and I have never seen a job that the homeowner was responsible for the site ready for us !
Did anyone besides me notice how careful he was around the house? One false move and he coulda punched a hole in the brick work or smashed a window. Kudos to you guys, YOU DONE GOOD! 🤜🤛
crap work. those bushes would of looked amazingin full bloom they could of easily been pruned back 40% and kept the homes value up. instead they wasted a bunch of time removing vegetation for waht? so we could see a chain link ugly fence?
Your mulching job along the house was masterful. Windows, railings, even a dryer vent, all left totally intact, while clearing out the brush. Well done, sir!
Fantastic job! Opening it up like that keeps the mosquitos and other bugs away from the house! Also makes airflow around the place better! I could use a mulcher around the property here for a couple of weeks! Be well!
That is a really nice tool. I could put that to good use sprucing up my property over a weekend. Interesting how the city has a drainage project so they slap a non-conform violation on the homeowner to save themselves work? It’s too bad, those bushes out front weren’t terrible and might have been pruned to provide some barrier to the road.
This was a fun machine to watch loved how fast it was and how it mulched everything making the yard look so much better. Great job guys 👍keep up the great work. ❤
My mother used to call these dirty weeds. Lol she would have been a munchie warrior for sure.ove watching how quickly you can clean up. Great fun. Made quick work for everyone. 😊
That’s a bunch of crap. Create a violation so the homeowner has to prepare the site for construction. The audacity of the public servants is really amazing! Trim it to code
I am always so impressed at the finesse you can achieve on these mulchers. Even the dryer vent was left unharmed! Talent comes in all sizes and flavors.
In regards to all of the people talking about who is responsible for cleaning the property up for the city to work on it. I don't know this specific situation but I'll tell you my experiance. I own 20 acres in west Texas. The power company, Oncor, has a substation on the back of my property and an easement for the power lines. I cannot build any permanent structures in Oncors easement but Oncor is responsible for all mowing and maintenance on that easement. Oncore also built a road from the main street back to thier substation which they are responsible for maintaining. I do mow the sides of the road once in a while but that's mainly just because I want to, not because I have to. I also have an easement for 5 oil and natural gas pipelines that run through my property. 5 different oil companies share responsibilities for mowing and maintaining thier easement. A few weeks back, Sunoco gas needed to do maintenance on thier pipeline on my neighbors property. While trying to figure out how they were going to get heavy equipment to the pipeline they saw my road back to the substation which leads almost exactly to where they needed to go and asked me for permission to use my power line road to get back there. I said yes and they insisted on paying me for the use of the road because there was a chance that they could damage my fences pulling their equipment through. They did have to take down a section of barbed wire fence to get to my neighbors property because they didn't go far enough back to find the gate but they rebuilt the fence stronger than it originally was. I don't know what's going on with the property in this video but in my opinion, my experiance is how it should go..
Don't think many viewers realize the man hours it would take to clear this much vegetation from this property. A simple York rake will clean up much of the wood chips & since most of the grinding was surface cutting, much of this will grow back. Nature always wins but it certainly cleaned up the lot quickly !
Ummm there’s a problem here… I would have retained an attorney for the simple fact… home owner is NOT RESPONSIBLE for upgrades per city .. and they CANNOT AND I REPEAT CANNOT force the home owner to do nothin other than keeping their personal lawn cut under 9 inches… what city is this in? Because I have something you might wanna hear.. my spouse happens to be the mayor of the city I live in and before then was 2 term city councilman…
Yeah the government in my area has lost its mind too. Property tax went almost 100% up in one year. And that was for everyone. And what timing seeing how this new " aquatic center " was passed without any vote.
That's awesome. I'd love to get my hands on such a thing to reclaim my fenceline.. But then again, if I had access to such a beast, I'm fairly certain I would no longer have a fence and a large repair bill... lol Nice work!
My Grandfather always told me when planting a bush or tree, to put 2 or 3 half inch re-bar next to the trunk, so if a jerk decides to cut it down in the future they will regret it. He was a smart man.
You handle that machine with ease. You are a professional for sure. I would never attempt to go within five feet of a house or fence b/c I would take them out for sure.
Impressive! Live out in the country and looking at one of the mulchers so very curious How often do you have to sharpen and/or replace the blades on that monster? I'm sure the neighbors were very happy that the disgusting yard was cleaned up. Thank you
I heard that part too about the drainage, but I also heard him say that the house had lots of code violations, I imagine for over grown shrubs. Most cities have some type of codes for property maintenance. We had to call to complain about a local rental home that people moved out off and just trashed the yard with everything they did not take with them. It sounds unfair until you are the neighbor living near it.
It hurts me to watch you grind up those azaleas. That's something I would plant. All those needed was some simple hand pruning, preferably with something Felco.
I wouldn't want to live where azaleas have to be cut down. Of course I don't know the whol;e story but I really like flowering azaleas. In fact an hour away in Palatka they have an annual Azalea festival. Why not just trim them back?
If they’re overgrown I guess it would be considered a violation, but yeah, an azalea is a bush that you don’t mulch up. Take a foot off a year until it’s back in manageable size and they’ll be happy again
I was wondering this too. I know he’s just doing what the city asked, but why would the city want him to take out the Azalea’s just because they are overgrown?
I used to put ribbon on every thing the home owner wanted to get rid of while in his presence while videoing. That way there wasn't any question. I've never had a problem then and could always go back to the video.
I can’t believe that they wanted the azaleas mulched they are some beautiful bushes and flowers when they bloom my mom had them in front of her house and every year she was so in awe at how beautiful they were
I started to see your programs and they are spectacular, the work, the machinery, I only ask if you can activate the translations because you explain things at the beginning and at the end that I miss them, a great greeting
The old bird farm Robert could use you guys believe me he has so much listeria and he doesn’t know how to take care of the yard like you guys would try and get in touch with him. I know one thing he sure would appreciate it. He’s a hard worker what is going in circles
Maybe justify clearing for the drainage project if it's for flood control, but denuding all of the greenery around the house - those azaleas - what purpose did that serve? Is the house abandoned?
I find it odd that those azaleas would be considered a code violation. What's the health and safety issue? I could see them being an HOA violation--some people are really annoying about other people's yards.
@@bobbun9630 I'm guessing the fact they were overgrown and the whole place looked like an abandoned drug convention center was the violation, not the plant variety.
@@JoeL-re1dc Yeah, I wasn't interested in the plant variety, and I doubt anyone else in this discussion is, either. I only mentioned the relevant plants as being "azaleas" to identify the specific plants I was talking about. I feel sorry for you if you think that a few large bushes are automatically "overgrown" and make a home look like "an abandoned drug convention center." Get a life. Other people are entitled to the peaceful enjoyment of their property by their own standards so long as they don't intrude upon the liberty or safety of others. Have better evidence of any drugs you want to claim are being dealt than your personal disdain for the bushes before you advocate destroying someone else's property under color of law. It could be your own property at issue someday. You're evidently the sort of person who becomes one of those meddling HOA members I mentioned.
Does that thing have a proximity detector, or are you just really steady with the controls? hydraulics are not very precise and I'm sure I might have blown a hole in the side of that house!
I am also curious where behind the house is the violation ? The area you clear is not on the property of the house in question or the neighbors behind the home. Seems like the city did not maintain the right of way area between the properties and they laid the blame on the home owner to get some work paid by the owner.
@@LambrettaJet200 Fence line doesn't equal property line. Owner could have built their fence to enclose the lawn, and just didn't feel like clearing the brush.
Why are they destroying the shrubs at the front of the house that has nothing to do with drainage for the city. They are up against the home & all it needs to prune a little bit. That's disgusting.
Lacking an aesthetic sense. Destroyed a number of large azaleas that only needed pruning back. I’ve seen too many “landscapers “ clear away beautiful shrubs and trees. I only hope he leaves the dogwood on the corner.
Right? Like what kind of code prohibits beautiful permaculture in favor of European grasses that need dumps of poisonous chemicals one or multiple times a year? Disgraceful. Sure, it could have been tidier. This is gross though.
Wow, I’m impressed!! I kept waiting for a broken window when you were up against the house. Clearly you know what you are doing. Awesome job
If the CITY wants to do a drainage upgrade ....THEY should prepare the site .. not the homeowner !
... and reinstate like it was after they have finished
Why remove the shrubs around the house for a drainage pipe that I am sure won’t be place next to the home?
This is how some city’s operate. Let the resident pay for right of way clean up so they don’t have to. Sad
City SMH
I agree I do a lot of drainage work in New England as a heavy equipment operator and I have never seen a job that the homeowner was responsible for the site ready for us !
It's funny how fast cities will issue out violations but when trying to get
anything completed from the city it can take months...
Did anyone besides me notice how careful he was around the house? One false move and he coulda punched a hole in the brick work or smashed a window. Kudos to you guys, YOU DONE GOOD! 🤜🤛

Seeing how these machines devour the landscape it gives admiration for the original settlers that did all this by hand in only a few years.
Your mulching job along the house was masterful. Windows, railings, even a dryer vent, all left totally intact, while clearing out the brush. Well done, sir!
Fantastic job! Opening it up like that keeps the mosquitos and other bugs away from the house! Also makes airflow around the place better! I could use a mulcher around the property here for a couple of weeks! Be well!
That mulcher kit is a thing of beauty. Makes quick work of it.
This machine and operator are simply amazing!
Um, whomever told these people they needed a $75K machine to remove that little brush in someone's yard is the best salesman in the world.
That looks like an easement and the homeowner shouldn’t be responsible for it
I just stumbled upon your channel and your hat was all I needed to know that I found someone worth supporting.
You handle "Munchie" like you are frosting a cake. Great skill.
Great job I love the transformation you and AL Bladez do great work
That mulching head was a thing of beauty. Very satisfying to watch.
That mulcher is a whole new way to brush hog, very cool ! It’s like a stump grinder and wood chipper on an arm. 💪
Sad that the old azaleas were mulched vs trimmed to maintain curb appeal on the house.
That is a really nice tool. I could put that to good use sprucing up my property over a weekend.
Interesting how the city has a drainage project so they slap a non-conform violation on the homeowner to save themselves work?
It’s too bad, those bushes out front weren’t terrible and might have been pruned to provide some barrier to the road.
Another perfect example of city govt. sticking it too the home owner ! Get a lawyer and send the bill to the city !
Yea, the city is probably charging the homeowners to remove the trees and shrubs in their drainage ditch plan.
This was a fun machine to watch loved how fast it was and how it mulched everything making the yard look so much better. Great job guys 👍keep up the great work. ❤
I don't understand why those azaleas weren't just pruned instead of demolished. What was the violation?
On a different comment, the poster said the homeowner asked him to clear everything away.
The owner wanted them mulched to the ground
My mother used to call these dirty weeds. Lol she would have been a munchie warrior for sure.ove watching how quickly you can clean up. Great fun. Made quick work for everyone. 😊
You use that munchie machine with the precision of a weed wacker next to the house! Amazing!!!
That mulcher attachment is pretty awesome.
That’s a bunch of crap. Create a violation so the homeowner has to prepare the site for construction. The audacity of the public servants is really amazing! Trim it to code
this is a society of bullied children perpetuating bullying, corruption, and harm
I am always so impressed at the finesse you can achieve on these mulchers. Even the dryer vent was left unharmed! Talent comes in all sizes and flavors.
I liked the shrubs. They just needed a trim.
What an amazing piece of machinery , my street was completely over grown and the city used one of these and it looks amazing now

Yes it was!
Great skills, to look that smooth. Great vid, good content and editing too.
I have never seen one of these mulchers before. I watch your videos in amazement.

When you were by the house I kept thinking "watch out for a water spicket" Great Job!
And the old lawnmower also
I have never been so nervous watching one of these yard transformation videos as I am watching you mulch those azaleas right next to the windows... 😂

Hot shot just because the city you live in has that regulation it does not mean every city in the US has the same thing.
Wow. What a difference. Looks Great.
Who made the Decision to mulch shrubs in front of the house? How is that a city violation?
And if making things look nice is not part of the equation, then why are they there at all?
All in all, you boy's did a very nice job on this overgrown yard.
Too bad about the Azaleas, they are so beautiful in the spring. Couldn't you trimmed to 2 ft high and then mulch the tops?
Guys keep the content coming! Love to see Munchie pulverizing thorny things…and all your other videos too by the way… knock ‘em out!
So...in the US - you get a fine if your garden is overgrown? Is that correct? Is it like Nattsii Germany?
What's a Nattsi?

Sounds like an ash hole
Great job it looks a hundred percent better than it did. Have a great day!
If the plants close to the house mulched down to the ground will they get new growth because to did no kill the root system.
Lil munchie definitely in her element on that project. Nice precision work around the house IDig!
You handle that machine with ease. You are a professional for sure. I would never attempt to go within five feet of a house or fence b/c I would take them out for sure.
Thank you! I don't claim to be the best operator in the world but its nice to get compliments!
Congratulations to your brother, and to you and your team on cleaning up that yard.
Your skills are so very impressive!
Pure Artistry!!!!
Beautiful!
I doubt those azaleas were any code violation. So my question is why would the owner want to destroy them? They needed a little trimming is all.
Just came across this video. Its amazing how cutting down all that makes the places look so good.
Yes the property turned out well!
Just had a acre done,,guy did great job,some 4-6 inch trees and brush,, took less than 8 hours,,
I so admire you as you press forward past monumental tragedy! You're in my prayers Bro! Mulch On! Blessings Bro!
I thought you were going to bust a window. You are a great equipment operator.
Mulching machine is a monster well done the lot of yas. What an unbelievable transformation.
Impressive!
Live out in the country and looking at one of the mulchers so very curious
How often do you have to sharpen and/or replace the blades on that monster?
I'm sure the neighbors were very happy that the disgusting yard was cleaned up.
Thank you

If you cut the azerlas about 24" down and fert they will recover and the following they can be trim down 18"
So freaking awesome ! No killing yourself for hours, no Poison ivy, no unfriendly critters. this is definitely the way to go.

OMG that machine is a "BEAST" 👹🤣
Good job and video brother. I like proving people wrong when they think it can’t be done.
Gee I can't imagine why He wanted all the azaleas mulched instead of trimmed oh it hurts my heart to watch that.
Me too, I bet it looked glorious when in flower 😢
Me too!!
Running a flail head 4 feet from the truck & around windows! Balls!!!!

Looks great, that is an awesome machine. I agree if city wants it cleaned they should have to pay to do it or pay for “munchie”.

I'd have tried to save the azaleas, but trimming them to knee height would look ugly for a couple of years compared to new plantings.

A lot of skill to get that close to windows and walls and keep debris from hitting glass. Great job.
