I agree with you that it all needs to be taken out and started over. You could only do so much with what you had to work with. I think you did a great job.
You can not worry about what viewers are going to say!! Do what is best. First, it’s a mess and needs to be taken out! Second, home owners are not able to maintain it. There will unfortunately always be HATERS!! ❤️🙏😎
You have done a wonderful job of getting this older property back in shape. The work you did around the house will make it safer for entry and exit too. Thank you for helping this hard working family. Stay safe out there.
Great job..lots and lots of hard work...those lazy folks that offer negative comments on how other people should do the job wouldn't get out of their recliners to help anyone...ever!!!...you will surely be rewarded someday for your kindness !!!! God bless you.
For what it's worth, I agree with your assessment that the "flower beds" are too far gone to simply be trimmed. They need to be razed and started over from scratch.
What a beautiful quaint older farmhouse you did it you brought it back to life and don’t let people be the ones to tell you to save this to throw that out you did what was right for the owner. You cleaned it up good job. Thanks so much more videos, please😊😊
Just an amazing transformation. Many thanks and admiration for everything you did for this family. You can tell it was once loved and taken care of. Thank you for bringing it back to a place where they can remember the good times ❤❤❤❤❤
Ya, I'd cut down everything in those beds too. They've been neglected to long to do much of anything with. Charming neglect only goes so far. Id use the grass clippings to mulch those beds and keep the weeds down until such time as they can spend the time to care for them. Thanks for the video.
All the people with negative comments could come and weed it! You are doing a great job!! If they could have and wanted to weed it, they would have. It would look the same in 6 months tops! People that have gardens KNOW it is about 2 weeks of constant weeding to do around the house and then weekly upkeep. You are right, it does need to be cut down and totally redone! You are there to help, not to be someone's personal gardener
Astounding job - such a big job! I'm one of those who sometimes cringe at what is being pulled out or cut down but I totally understand the reasoning. It always comes out looking fresh and clean. Keep doing what you're doing!
You are doing a great job! Be proud of your massive accomplishment so far. In another note for the daughter/caretaker: I was the caretaker for my late husband during his 8 years on dialysis, and I care and understand what you are BOTH going through. Dad is on a tough road and it takes a monumental will for continued treatment, and continued care is so hugely needed and difficult. I commend the both of you for doing whatever it takes to get through, 24 hours at a time, sometimes 1 hour at a time. I feel for you both tremendously, and I am praying for strength and wisdom for both of you. Take care of yourselves…. God bless and comfort both of you ❤
Great job! You don't have to excuse anything you do, you do your job as you are the one who spoke with the owner, not the haters. Thank you for sharing!
It looks like the vine at the side of the house with the orange flower is a trumpet vine. Unfortunately, it will send up suckers everywhere for a lifetime. I know this from personal experience.🇨🇦❤️
I think you did a great job for the parameters you were given! Personally, I think ground cover is good only for those with lots of time, good health and plenty of energy. Poison ivy thrives in that stuff.
You can take it all down, that way if they want to plant more flowers and decorative shrubs and plants they can. You are doing wonderfully with this place! I soooo look forward to seeing whats next!! Keep it up and do what you do best!
That yard is so large I understand why she is overwhelmed! Even if she didn’t work 16 hour shifts and look after her father. Maintenance of that place is a full time job.
Great job! You are bringing some order to the chaos. The homeowners must be so happy to have you doing this for them. I agree with your idea to take it all down and start fresh.
U did a fine job. handled that overgrown flower bed just right! U pulled the weeds & shaped it up. Brilliant!😅 That swing also looks like an inviting spot now that it's all cleaned up. I really like your channel. I'll b tuning in again. Your Oregon Viewer. We r expecting 75° this August 12th.
Don't worry about landscaping. Given the situation, reducing the lawn care to rider mower clipping only seems to be the best resolution. Eliminate the flower beds for something requiring no or very low maintenance. Priorities. You are appreciated.
It just needs to be re done. The flower beds have just gotten overgrown over the years. At some point, I would want to replace or repair the windows and paint the house, so it will be nice with nothing in the way🙂 You're doing a great job!
When you have garden beds that are so full of weeds and grasses, there isn't much you can do but cut it all back. Much of it will come back. Cutting it back is better if the homeowner has a hard time, (or simply can't), take care of those beds. I can tell you off hand the variegated leaf plants you see are commonly called snow on the mountain, (don't know botanical name), It is used as a ground cover or low growing border plant for the front of flower beds. Let those who don't like your clearing those beds volunteer to come keep them up.
No. I'm not concerned with what each plant is. I'm only concerned about what looks good and what looks bad...and fixing the bad. Having a nice plant in a bad spot doesn't do the nice plant justice, especially if there isn't other nice things around it.
You know it's not your fault it is so overgrown. Some plants will come back but some are so overgrown they need to be cut back. You can only do your best and others will have to accept it.
I would just take it all down. Start fresh. She doesn't have time to maintain it so the less there is the better it is for her plus it will look neater and cleaner. Great job!
❤ Hey BUDDY, yeah I AGREE, that whole thing NEEDS to be torn out of there and start from scratch, CUT in in a Brand NEW edge, and pretty much put whatever in the flower beds that they are wanting, But it's so tangled up like it is, there is NO real way to SAVE what is there now, I'm really Surprised they haven't had issues with the AC UNIT since ALL those weeds and other things were not letting that UNIT BREATHE, lucky it didn't Burn it UP, I would say that the ONLY thing in any of the flower beds that looked DECENT were those WHITE bunch of flowers in the corner that you didn't have to cut SO, was this your last part down, everything else was in pretty BAD shape. You have really got this project going in the right direction, your only doing what they want you to do, but I think they are going to need to end up taking some of that other stuff out like you were talking about before it will look right, But it's up to them, YOUR part is looking AWESOME 👍 so was this your last part at this house 🏠🏡 OR was there something else they wanted you to do farther back on the property?? Anywho, another good episode, turned out AWESOME, CYA SOON NEXT TIME BE SAFE 🚜🌞✌️🥵☀️😎
Thanks Deion I appreciate it! I'm going back one more time to do the front of the barn and go back to that fence line. I won't do the back of the yard where the dogs go - too many "shoe bombs" back there if you know what I mean. :)
Absolutely Amazing job you did 💯👏! Looks so much better. People planting everything all together and never trimming or maintaining is the problem, this is what you get. Way to much stuff planted together in my opinion and the plants don't do well it just looks horrible. If you don't cut back every season the perennial thing's they get to be sticks with just flower on the top, if you cut back the whole plant or bush it will look full and healthy every year in my experience. Hydrangeas were the plants with the balls on end they need cutting back every end of year. You do what you think is best don't worry about people complaining otherwise you have a mess like this yard was . Thanks 👍❤🎉 Georgia Fan 🙌
@@UpNorthMowingDude Did you see any snake's etc in all that stuff around the house? This is one reason to keep the area neat and cleaner around the house. I love yardwork and I am told my yard/plants look beautiful. Yes, I can relate to getting older and the heat as well lol, I am 56 and a female doing my yardwork. Drink Gatorade it has extra things you need in the yardwork business to survive 👍🙂. Have snacks as well. I have killed four snakes this summer so far. 😳
I understand the lady is doing her best. I am sure it's been hard for her to maintain everything and do everything. I hope someone keeps this yard maintained now.
@@choosewisely6994 No snakes so far. I keep my eyes open as I HATE snakes. But up here in WI they're not poisonous....just creepy! I drink LMNT which has electrolytes and is better for you than Gatorade as it doesn't have all the sugar. Good stuff if you've never tried it. :)
Everything needs to be trimmed down. It’s been neglected trimming down is good for the plant. I trim all my plants down in the fall and I have a beautiful garden. These people that are giving a hard time about trimming things down they don’t know the first thing about gardening.
It certainly looks so much better. It may also make it easier to fix the house now they can see the problems. Be proud of all your very hard work. ✌👍👍👍

eye protection safety glasses when trimming🙏 good day from Denmark 🇩🇰
awesome! if her concern was only saving the poppies, then dont sweat the rest. my question is if its just the 2 of them, why so many cars! lol.
I hope the viewers with their negative comments have the day they deserve! Cut it down it will grow back and most times grows back better!
Thanks! I agree.
Great job on this property. Your work is amazing. God bless you
The more you do the better it all looks! Good work!
The owner is so very Thankful in what ever you decide to do,great work your doing 🌺🍍🌴🇺🇸✝️🤙🏽❤️🔥
Thanks Margaret!
I have to agree, I bulldozer is not required, ,the garden beds are you wide by far!. Just rake and mow. Let the resident decide what is to Be kept
Just getting better and better after every visit. Awesome job❤❤
Thanks Julie.
They need to work beside you and help you figure it out 😮
You are doing a great job! Things are looking much better
Just do what you have to do. A lot of it will come back next year. They need to get a professional gardener next spring. No worries 👍🌺
Great transformation
You're doing great work and meeting a need for this family. Have a great week.

@@themiddegetboy123 Hey Hunter! Great to hear from you, and thanks again for hauling all that brush away. Great to meet you!
Nice!
It's coming along great! When it gets this overgrown you might as well take it all down and start from scratch. Looking forward to the next one!! 😊😊❤❤
Great job ❤❤❤❤
Looks really nice!!! 😊
Great job 🎉
good job .💯👍👍

Thank you Susan. Yeah it's the best thing to do.
You did a perfect job 💚
Aw thank you!!
The homeowner has input I am sure.
She did but very little. Just wanted me to save the poppy's up front but allowed me to cut them back. No worries about anything else around the house.
