- This is ONE OF THE WORST easements I've ever seen! This around 3-4 years of untamed brush growth and it is a NIGHTMARE! I got most of it with the MTL XCT but we ended up having to get MUNCHIE TOO! It turned out GREAT!

An easement is a reserved right of travel/use on otherwise private land. Typically in most easements the property owner still needs to maintain the land. Changing of easements usually requires going through a re-zoning by the city/town/county and public hearings. This could have been spawned by anything from a complaint, a city inspector noticing it, a change in policy enforcing something that was ignored before, or a utility company giving notice that next month they are running fiber through here and need everything in the way cut to the ground.
The most common forms of easements are Utility easements. This is where you own the land with the exception of the rights for a utility company to enter to run or maintain their utilities through the land. Drainage easements are reserved for culverts or channeling water. Sidewalk easements are reserved for public pedestrian use. Each easement will have restrictions and rights specified in the deed or zoning records (and usually there is one line buried in the sale of property agreement saying you agree to all posted easement restrictions).
Restrictions can be things like: no buildings/structures, cannot limit/block access, aerial (height), no digging, requirements to maintain clear pedestrian access; in some rare situations where you own land surrounding another property you may have an easement allowing a road to the other property through your land.
Ok wow, I literally just learned a ton on easements! Thank you for the informative comment Nick!
This needs to be a pinned comment because so many people here are complaining about this video and don't know the first thing about what they're complaining about whether it's animal habitats, nature, or easements. 👍
Yup, I have two easements. I am responsible for both
I grew up in a neighborhood thats was built in the 1910's-20's....There was a 4 (6) ft easement between all the back yards..well over the years 98% have been taken over by the homeowners, so alot of folks got a 6 foot deeper back yard.
@@1voiceofstl in reality though that isn't theirs so if someone finds those records and comes through to claim that easement and the homeowners have built fences or sheds on that easement they will get fined and either have to move it or be charged for the removal. If it's a utility easement they don't always let the homeowners know before they go through and tear things up.
I can’t believe no one is out watching this!!! I’d be out there with a bowl of popcorn!!! Awesome job!
LOL yeah it can definitely be fun to watch!
Yep, definitely! Where I live you’d probably have to fence it off to prevent all the kids (and nosy or know-it-all dads) from getting in your way or accidentally getting mulched themselves. And any ice cream truck owner would have an absolute golden day if he’d stop and stay near the job site
I think these guys out there cutting grass for free using their own equipment, gas,time and especially caring for others should be recognized for their hard work. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart and God bless each of you!
Al Blades is n ow a millionare.
You and that brush hog did a great job, I would be interested in the neighbours reaction, I guess they would be happy to have it cleaned up as it would harbour rats n snakes etc, but it also left there back yards very exposed. Did any of them have any comments ?
Would've been nice to see a drone flyover of that area BEFORE & AFTER all that overgrown vegetation was removed. Now ALL those homeowners can ban together & hire a land surveyor to FIND each of their property lines & BUILD themselves each a privacy fence!
If I was one of those neighbors I would have been thrilled to see this done.
Hell Yeah !!!
I've watched a lot of these videos lately of people mowing lawns and stuff and I've never seen a comment section so filled with haters. Some people should stay off of RUclips. Especially if a video like this bothers them.
I agree. This is only the second one of these videos I have watched and the comments are horrid. If they could do a better job they should get out and do it. lol
I agree ☝️
I think all you men and women are angels. All you are required to do is the best you can do. It may not be perfect but it's a lot better than it was. So in spite of the negative comments I think y'all are beautiful people and keep up the good work.
So there haters because they have there own OPINIONS?
@@coreysim2811 no, it’s because their opinions are hateful.
Technically, an easement (i. e. public right-of-way) does not give the government legal ownership of the property. It gives them and the public the legal right to use the property to build roadways, put in pipelines, power lines, etcetera.
An easement does allow the owners to use the property but restricts what they can use it for. A residential street for instance may have a 60 foot easement but they may only build a 30 foot wide road, leaving 15 feet on either side that the owner can use.
But they can not build any permanent structures, put in a substantial fence like one made of concrete or bricks that would be hard to remove, and these days any trees that will grow over a specified size. Generally things like grass, sidewalks, flower gardens or decorative bushes are okay. And most cities require the resident to take care of the excess easement and keep it looking nice.
But there are always those who decide that if they can not do whatever they want to do with the property that it is the government's responsibility to take care of it. That normally does not work for them but in this case it appears to be an easement for something they thought they were going to build a road through but never did and the property owners on either side got away with never taking care of it.
Now that the government has decided to build the road or run something through it, they are paying to get it cleared because of their failure to enforce the owners to maintain it. Which is a good thing. Although there may be a bureaucrat who decides to tack the cost onto the two owners property tax bill that they will send out in the next couple of months. Even if the current property owners are not the ones who originally let the easement go wild and grow a jungle.
Never seen this type of equipment. Fascinating.
That was a beautiful video. I am a 76 year old farm girl and have spent many hours with a bush hog on the back of a tractor keeping the hay fields from growing in on the edges. And along creeks. I could sure have had fun with your Mini. and the Skid Steer having the bush hog on the front makes it better visibility and easier on tires not running over things you can't see. Keep doing what you are doing. It final product is wonderful and so is watching the process.
LOL. I had to take a second look at your post. You have the same name as my ex-wife. But stuff like farm girl, bush hog, tractor, and hay fields aren't even in her vocabulary.
We get called out several times a year to clear easement and right a ways. Love the end result and the huge improvement when they are that bad. Keeps you on the edge of your seat too wondering about wire and fence posts
I thought I saw a car tire close to one property. It's amazing what people dump on others property. My moms house needed mowed and when I went down to her property there was 8 TRUCK tires sitting by the curb of her house. I called the sanitation department and they knew they were not there the week before and they kindly came and got rid of them and did not charge her. Grrr that made me mad. A neighbor said they got the first 3 digits of the truck plate and gave them to the police. My mom will be 90. Dumping on a 90 year olds property, really? I'd make them pay $1,000 or spend an entire day cleaning up a mile of the highway.
I am amazed at how much labor is saved by the use of that machinery. Can you imagine if it was like 1940 and two people had to clear that lot? IT would take weeks.
What powerful equipment you used. No lawnmower would have been able to tackle this job. I guess you need to sharpen your cutting blades frequently with all those stumps, soil and rocks. A job well done!!!
Wow!! That was some serious brush cutting/ wilderness mulching going on. It was fun to see both of your machines used on the same property…could really tell the differences between what they do. Turned out seriously great & I pray this customer gives you an annual contract so you can keep it looking nice. Also that your machines didn't sustain damage from all the concrete, rocks, bricks, etc.
Wisteria strangles/kills trees!
Great job clearing that jungle!
Wow - that's not just over-grown, that's a jungle! I kept expecting Tarzan to jump out. I got hypnotized by the video being kinda the operator's point of view. I'm sure the residents of the adjoining properties were pleased to have it gone. That much foliage would have held hordes of mosquitoes and who-knows-what creepy crawlies.
You did a fantastic job. If owned a home that bordered that wilderness I would be so appreciative. That looks so much better it’s indescribable.
Violation, city wants it cleared. Good on you for clearing this. If people wanted a nature easement maybe they should approach the owner. Don’t blame the contractor
that needed to be cleared for those peoples back lawns. You did such a great job!
At least it's nice to see there are people who take pride in where they live and they go out into thier community and clean it up and make it look really nice when they are done like lawn care with juggernaut and Al bladez I enjoy thier videos as well
I work in our General Services dept of my city. We use a mini and a flail mower (mulcher) a TON. Great pieces of equipment that save us so much time. Great job!
I knew once you got ole hungry Munchie in there things would be looking up in short order!! Fantastic cleanup!! Thanks for sharing your videos!!
Very pleased to see good cleaning out going on. Great job. Thank you.
Totally impressed with that muncher attachment! Our county sure could use that on the tamarack’s. Great post.
It doesn't matter which one you use . Big Munchie , little munchie or baby munchie , you always do an awesome job 😊😊😊 !!!!
I hope the neighbors are liking your work. You have improved their sight lines immensely!
I agree with Jennie, I’ll get my bag of popcorn & Join you.😅😅😅😅 Awesome machine by the way.😊
great work, reminds me of when a friend bought a piece of land that he wanted to live and build on, so a group of us friends went out with him to clear a path for a road onto the property and we had all the equipment we would ever need, started with clearing an over grown ditch to clear and put a culvert in and rock/gravel over it, we then walked the property to see where he wanted to put the road in to where the shop/house site would be and our jaws nearly hit the ground when he stopped about 600 ft or so into the walk we took, we had 6 people , 6 pieces of equipment and chainsaws, etc, etc, 🤣 and he thought it would be done in an afternoon, 2 full weekends, first 2 days was clearing everything for the road trees, rocks, etc, the next was smoothing out the high/low spots bringing in just under a $100,000.00 in stone and gravel and that road bed mat to stop erosion in the end it was 4 full weekends and 8 and sometimes 9 of us there helping him out, and it has turned out to be his home with a shop most of us only dream of owning and has become a bit of a getaway and only 70 miles away in a quiet area, place to disconnect to reconnect with yourself 👍
Love ❤️ love this machine ! So happy you cleared this area for people with children that live next to it, for so many reasons. Keep doing what you are great at and clear areas like this 👍🏼😎.
🙏🏼🌟🌹😊
Get the On-X Hunt App, it will show you property lines and ownership info. Also, I always cut the "questionable jungle - first cuts" with the mini excavator with mower head on it. Have hit a ton of buried treasures and found plenty of holes that would swallow a skiddie. Good Work!
You don’t need an app, every state has a GIS website that shows that and more. It’s where that hunt app gets info.
@@zfilmmaker of course they do. The app uses your gps as well and shows where you are in relation to property lines as well, which is very helpful in the field. Last thing you want to be doing is trespassing or cutting on the wrong property.
@@kipsterchi7418 I can understand why the app is good for hunting but for someone sitting at a computer wanting to know more info about a house or land, GIS is the way, not that app. And btw I’ve used that app before and it doesn’t always work.
@@zfilmmaker cool story, used the app three times today mulching for a customer and it worked great to show where we were and where they wanted us to go. Something else to remember is not all counties update GIS on a regular basis. GIS is very detailed for some of our counties and is a good tool as you mentioned for ownership info and for a plethora of other information. Working on land you are not supposed to be on is not a good thing in our business.

Watching from California. I recently started watching about a month ago with al blaze videos that linked to this one. I’ve watched some of your older video where you were only using regular lawnmower, weed whacker & blower. I’m so impressed with the new equipment. So happy for you guys. That is a BEAST! God bless you both for your great humanitarian efforts, may the Lord keep you & your families safe. May your nonprofit flourish as well.
Al Bladezis also a great person and asset to the community.
This was SO MUCH FUN!!! Felt like I was riding! I love your talent in this line of work...❤
This is the most satisfying tree cutting that I’ve seen. I used to do landscaping years ago but I never came across any machine like this. Love from Canada
wow, never seen such machines that does what they do. cleaned up really good. I live in AZ so we don't have an greenery. Drought is killing us.
Man, am I impressed. Great mower/cutter/trimmer, whatever, "cleaning the stables" . Wow. Congrats, man.
Watching these videos puts me into a happy, peaceful, hopeful future. As these young men show the path to receiving blessings from a little hard work without needing money. Giving a hand up to many. As your raising children to follow in your footsteps. You are a throwback to a couple of generations ago. Thanks for all you do
Looks like my property when I bought my house. Wish I would have had a machine like his! Great work, guys! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What a bummer to go off to work one day then come home and grab a beer then proceed to the backyard to relax only to discover the greenbelt behind the house that made your house feel special and sort of secluded is now gone and you are left with a nice panoramic view of all your neighbors backyards! Welcome to the city?
Agree. What was a visual and sound barrier is now gone. These lawn guys are great when it helps people but this doesn’t fit that bill.
I would've been in shock myself ..but we all know it's gonna grow back in a year or 2
It's zoned as an easement right of way, if it was maintained it would have never had more than some cut grass to begin with.
I do love sitting here watching you work you do a really good job
Gee, I haven’t encountered these before. It’s neat however it’s a difficult job . Needs a lot of patience. Kuddos to you man. What an awesome job you did.
I myself love watching all videos like this, plus it makes my heart flurried that so many young people r getting into helping others other than themselves. GOD bless u young man nd all the rest of them making a difference in our lives.
This was awesome! I have never seen this in action before.
WOW! That's a lot of work to mow MEGA overgrown grass, branches and weeds! U did an awesome job! 👍🏻😁 Keep up the good work!
Great job! We have some kind of property behind our house that is for an ally or road if needed. We don't own it. We used to have a garden on it. We've maintained it all these years because it added a lot of space for the kids to play and made our property look huge!
Cant believe this jungle in the city! Loved the mow, can't believe we didnt see a single critter or snake! Of course all that greenery is awesome to see, we dont have that where I live. Thanks for the ride.
It would have taken a week or more with regular equipment. All the haters should try to do this by hand in a couple of hours.. Sir you know how to do your job with no property damage 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
I remember when GA used to have "chain gangs" that would go out into some inhospitable conditions. When done, it looked almost like a golf course groundskeeper had cleared the area. They would rake up & dispose of everything they had cut.
I've never seen a machine like that! Wow, very satisfying and calming. Thank you so much for sharing! Wow, I can think of a LOT I could do with a piece of land that large! The owner doesn't want it, sell it to someone who does and can make it into a lovely home!
Wow, great job. I'm glad you didn't find a car or a boat in there. My dad had property for 27 years, and just let it grow. There were six boats hiding in the back of the property. You could not see them from the road.... what a mess. Glad you are safe.
As a neighbor I would be happy this was cut. If anything, just put up a fence. But I think it looks amazing 👏
I love watching those machines at work!
That machine is awesome, why am I enjoying watching this, strangely relaxing
Wow! I've never seen anything like these cutters. The man running it is very proficient with it, too. Would have loved that machine at the farm to get rid of the Poison Oak!!!! Thanks! Fun video. 👍🏻👍🏻
Oh WOW!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, I'VE NEVER seen anything like this and I'm 70 yrs. young.😮
I watch your videos I like seeing that people are helped with their yards it's nice to see when it's finished and how good it looks like a brand new yard great job
I don’t see why they hatin that makes no sense. Keep up the good job you rock!
I really didn’t enjoy that over growth. Insanely thick!! Really like watching those machines. Thank you 🌹
That machine is a beast! 100% destruction and 0 snake bites! Awesome and interesting. Love the channel.
Took the words right out of my mouth!! Can't believe how powerful those machines are! And the operator is spot on!! Kudos!
From the view it reminds me of a locomotive.
Haters are all over RUclips. I respect these people cleaning these freaking properties. We have a code enforcement employee that does not do anything about here.
I saw a video once where they were clearing a path to run electrical lines. They had the big brother of the shredder you used on the excavator. They raised it up to the top of the pine trees and turned the trunk into wood chips all the way to the ground in about ten seconds.
I enjoy these videos and others like them. I did my lawn maintenance for years but can no longer do it. I can Almost Smell the clean cut grass, trees & brush. Ummm, Brings back Good Memories.
There was a property like this years ago behind by mates house he was the last one at the end before his big meadow. He approached the owner a few times to purchase and never heard back. Few years later the wife called and said he died and did he still want to purchase! So yep went ahead about a mile long and 30’ wide. Cleaned it up fenced the whole strip and gated each end, added stone all the way down! You should of heard the complaints from the neighbors who had encroached and use some, it was a nightmare! To this day they still cause trouble! But it’s nice a clean lol
Bet the neighbors were happy to see that mess go
Yes they were!
Wow!! This was a Fun and Wild ride along with you!! It's so satisfying watching the progress of each pass!! Keep the great work! 👏😊
Great machinery you have. Well done! I suggest the manufacturer could provide sponsorship of some kind to you for promoting their machinery. Cheers!
I found this awesomely cathartic to watch! Cool machinery. I get a kick out of watching before and after vids of lawn mowing makeovers but this beats all!
Bet you scared the neighbors surrounding this easement. Kids probably thought a dinosaur was coming through. Loud roars and crashing branches. I loved it. Thanks from Minnesota.
That was INSANE!!!!! I HAVE TO SUBSCRIBE!! 😆 loved it!!!
If that is an easement, then the two properties probably DO meet in the middle. They just can't build on it. An easement usuallly is in place to give access over someone's property to another property or for some sort of utility line. People often confuse a RIGHT OF WAY, which is owned outright with an EASEMENT, which isn't.
In Texas those are like our easements for our Main power lines in the housing areas. We have power poles in my neighborhood with no easement for the power companies. They have t ask for permission and we have to put our pets in the house while they trim trees or do repairs to the transformers that fail.
Wow good work. That looked like a crazy job.
Animal and bird sanctuary...gone. But I'm sure the neighbors are thankful to be rid of this snake haven! Amazing machine...mesmerizing to watch !!
I'd think the nighbors would be happy to see all that brush cleared out. After awhile it gets out of control and encroaches on your property and pushes your fences over. Will cut down on vermin living in there.
I live in Wisconsin,and they cleared out the brush in the state forest that I hunt. It’s an amazing process , and I love learning about the equipment being used. Great video.
That was some uncontrolled growth - and your machine is a killer (probably also literally!). Amazing. thanks a lot!
Man it’s nice to see all the great tool you have & use.👍👍👍
Maybe someone could build a house facing the busy street with the longest back yard ever?
Man you have a MAGNIFICENT piece of equipment. I would love to have one just like that. My old neighborhood is needing a lot of cleanup and I could use it.
As a property owner ( see trampolines kids toys) I'm glad this was done..opned it up to who knows what could be secreted in the overgrowth.. bit of breathing space for sure..hope his incentifies resdents keep on keeping on to maintain property..
The coolest pieces of mowing equipment I've ever seen 😍
What astonishing machines! Never seen anything like it.
That was so interesting. I’ve never watched a big machine like that mowing. Awesome job. Looks good.😊
Wow that machine saves so much muscle. Great job to help clear away rubbish and vermin...neighbours wont like you for a few weeks. The rats etc will head to the houses. Those people who dont like your work should watch someone else. Plenty of other channels out there. Keep up the great work. 😁😁😁
Imagine the homeowners coming home from work to a whole new backyard...
Imagine being in that blue house and not knowing what was going on and all of a sudden you hear this ripping through the woods. I'd be freaking out!
I am sure people were notified. This guy did a great job!
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"
Too funny loved your comment and I read it twice...thank you I needed a good laugh today. God bless.
"Faulty Towers" with John Cleese !!! - loved it.

hey IDigIt4 . Amazing video . Love the MTL XCT & Mini Munchie Mulching machines . Super cool . Just subscribed . Much respect . Mark (Toronto) 👍😎🌴
Hey Mark! I appreciate you watching and subscribing! Glad you're enjoying the content!
I have an alleyway behind my property and keep it trimmed and mowed every time my landscaper does his work, no weeds no trash!!
Wow this was so cool. I bet you spent a pretty penny on that equipment. Fun stuff
This is amazing! Great job with your machines ! It was like something out of jurassic Park!😂👍🏻
I thought it would look like a feeding dinosaur if it were green or brown!
Da-ummm!!! What BEAST is he using??? So impressed!!! Turn in my Kitchen Aid for that puppy!!
When I was a young bachelor I rented a ramshackle house for $100 per month. It had a huge overgrown back yard that with much work I turned into a beautiful vegetable garden. One day I returned home to find my garden had been asphalted into a road. I didn't know it was an easement, or what we call a "paper street."
Oh dang, that makes me sad!
Oh dang, that really sucks to hear.
Awesome job 👍 have a beautiful day to you and yours. 🤗🌻
Thank you! Cheers!
My friend had a small green space near her place. It was filled with milkweed grown wild. Someone cut it all down, who ever they were didn't look or didn't understand....the signs that said 'No Mowing', or maybe took them down....and never noticed the milkweed was heavy with Monarch Butterfly cocoons. Monarch and other Butterflies are endangered now.... and, a few hundred less will be born now. They were once so populous that you could see their migrations on radar, now....and far too soon..... Monarchs will be as rare as Ivory Billed Woodpeckers.
That happened here as well. It angers me so much. I grow milkweed in my gardens and I haven’t found a single egg. This is the first year I have been unable to raise any.
Near HER place. Not at her place. Someone mowed THEIR property. Nothing more
can't believe how thick that brush was. I am thinking my battery powered string trimmer may not have cut that as quick as you did.
This was fun to watch. I hope there is more on the channel. Great job!
Great video, Devin. Absolutely love watching your channel.
I always enjoy watching your videos and especially enjoy the big munchie ones but I wanted to write you in the hopes that you are doing okay dealing with the pain of losing someone you loved. Please take care of yourself and remember not the death but of the years of joy you shared. It does make life a bit easier. You are in my prayers and god bless!!
Is it wrong that the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this was "Welcome to the jungle"? Also just ignore stupid comments. You aren't destroying nature. All I see in there is invasive weeds, invasive vines (wild grape vine which doesn't actually produce grapes), and a very invasive bush sumac. Pretty much everything had to go.
As I'm in Florida, my first thought was: " Wow, vegetarian alligator on the loose!" 🤪🤪
Properties like this are often former railroad right-of-ways.
I like that you left a little buffer that give them a little backyard privacy... Keep on the good jobs you do
Oh Davin, what a diverse mix of comments? The usual positive & supportive ones, helpful ones, funny ones & then just…ummm…the opposite of what I just said🤔🤣 Criticism over the time of year you did it, it will just grow back in a few years, not dealing with the fallen tree, not cutting a path “through” the fallen tree, more like 150ft not 900ft, now thieves can do their bad stuff without any protection of cover. My personal favourite one though, could’ve been done with a “simple trimmer”🤦🏻♀️ Legend has it that this particular person can still be seen out there “trimming”🤣 Great job as usual Davin, tag teaming the MTL XCT with the Mini & Munchie. Take care & cheers🐨🦘🥰
A simple trimmer? Yea, a battery-powered one at that!
