In everyone’s vid do there is a lot of dust from the leaf blower, it would be great if it would vacuum it up instead! Bet the neighbors would appreciate it too.
Honestly, you have no way of knowing if the home owner is lazy, or physically, or mentally incapacitated. Maybe you could offer a little kindness and grace. We all could use a little more of that.
Probably a renter...wants the landlord to do the work...years ago, Princess Georgia wanted her landlord to come over to change a lightbulb. LOLOLOL 😃...they do exist...
@LuannCullison he actually walked outside to explain that it rained every other day and the wet grass would "stall" his equipment. Maybe 30s or 40s? I can only imagine what the inside living conditions are..
I hope the homeowner appreciates how you transformed his yard. You took it from a spooky house to a house that now fits in the neighborhood. You went above and beyond and it truly shows. That is an amazing difference. Can’t wait to see the backyard done.
The neighbor talks about his mower won't work when it rains. But you don't hear him offering to help you get it cleaned up now. Some neighbors are all talk. God Bless you for all you do to help places look better. 🙏❤️
Maybe that’s why the guy never mowed…neighbors complaining about noise… and he didnt want to cause trouble. If they were willing to complain at this stranger for doing a good thing… it makes me wonder.
I do the same thing, I just love watching good people do good things for people. It is a true Blessing g. There are wayyyyyyyyy many more good people than bad people in this world. Brian is one of the good guys and we love him. 👍🏻♥️
I once had a large rake like that, but it was too big for my smaller spaces so gave it away to one of my roofers who admired it! My sister gifted me with a small, adjustable width rake that's perfect for many spaces.
@@TopNotchLawns warn you not stay buy the Honda mower why now is scum of scum and now you got tricked why honda gcvx 200 have camshaft gear ⚙ in plastic and with heat gets melted and deformed forever you stole from your money 💰 always and always
Everyone should know their neighbors. It makes for a better community! What you did was a huge job, but it never had to get that bad. If the neighbors noticed if had not been mowed in a while, they should have simply asked the homeowner. They would have found out they were struggling with illness. Bless you for helping them out.❤
The homeowner talked about how he couldn't mow the grass because it kept raining every few days. That yard hasn't been touched all year, I guarantee it.
All the lawns down the street are neat and mowed, so it wasn't the rain that stopped the homeowner from mowing his lawn. Apathy and indifference the likely cause.
Ok, he gave his excuse for the overgrown yard; but that still doesn’t explain the sidewalks, driveway and bushes. 😊❤ Mr Rake, he couldn’t have done it without you!
I was thinking the same thing!! If any attempt to edge had been made it would have looked better. I'm 59 yrs old lady and I mow/edge my own. The homeowner is just lazy! I bet his neighbor's dislike him.
@@TopNotchLawns I’m sorry but if you bought a Honda mower hrx217 you remain deceive why have camshaft in plastic but the plastic is not built for during 2/6 years but only a one day and you scammed from your money

Я вижу, что вам очень тяжело, справляться с этой работой. Пора заканчивать с этой работой. Вы сначала делаете балаган 😂, а потом когда вы заканчиваете, тогда что-то получается. Возраст берёт своё. И уже трудно обрабатывать такие участки. Посмотрите как работает Джордж из Австралии. Вот это работа... Надо поучиться у него. Удачи.@@TopNotchLawns
You deserve an Award for this yard! ❤ Little Yard Big Mess! With all the neighbors stopping by to talk to you! You got too know this yard has been everybody's eye sore for a long time!!! It doesn't look haunted anymore! Everybody's going to sit out in their front yards to admiring the make over! Fantastic Job. Cant wait too see the back yard!! 😂
Looks more like your mowing hay in the lower 40! 😂 On a different note, I’m shocked that a strapping young man of this homeowners age, can stand there and complain to you about his mower not cutting the long grass, to me is unapologetically pitiful. I say this because I am a 70 year old woman who does her own yard work and have for 50 plus years. I weed wack, mow, pick up and burn fallen limbs, I spread grass seed and fertilizer, plant and maintain my vegetable and flower garden, and trim all my bushes annually. I even pick up the neighbors garbage debris that blows into the street after garbage pick up that lands in front of my house. So this young man’s “explanation” holds no water with me. All that said, your work along with Mr Rake, was phenomenal. Beautiful job as always.
I was surprised by that myself. I live on 1/4 of an acre, I'm 65 and female and despite having Fibromyalgia and arthritis I mow, edge, trim and even pressure wash my driveway and walkway myself. My sister laughs about how many lawn tools I have.
@@ilvcountry 😆 I love that… you go girl! Years ago I pressure washed my driveway, trailer pad and front walkway. All that with just a nozzle, not with the rotating surface disk you see all the pressure washers using today. That was a job 🥵 I’m very much like you as I’ve been dealing with a serious hip injury for years making everything I do now, challenging. I was splitting wood on the wood splitter for two days, and it’s taken me three days resting, to cope with the hip pain. 🤣 But… tomorrow, I need to wash down all my patio furniture in preparation for repainting. Ha! It never ends, does it my friend. Stay safe.
Yep, 69-year-old female with a 2 acre yard. I use battery push mower, live in the south where it's hot as hades. I cut one quarter each day, more if the weather isn't oppressive, while everyone else in the neighborhood is riding on their mowers and still don't keep yards up. I like the exercise and being outdoors. All my tools are battery, btw. Chain saw to mower, my favorite is the handheld mini chainsaw. Game changer for trimming bushes and small limbs.
There was a time I did not have a mower. I was on my hands a knees cutting grass with grass shears that I got at a yard sale. Sometimes, finances are part of the problem. Depression can be a factor. Thank you for your time.
Or they may have just moved in and getting it up together. If you do not know the full story you cannot make a reasoned judgement. Spread love, not hate ❤
@@jefhoover The guy stated in this video he has a mower - even made a comment about how expensive it was - and said his grass was always too wet to mow it. Sorry, Kansas just isn't that wet all the time. Let's face it, he just didn't care enough to maintain his yard. I think we have to stop always making excuses for anyone and everyone who behaves like this.
What a great rake. I love how the handle is locked in and you don't have to keep tightening it down. I wish the homeowner volunteered to help with the clean up, moving branches, racking etc.
Now, I alike that Neighbor who said that’s the BEST! He has seen it looked and he has been there for 4 or 5 years. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Cause I was saying to myself Ain’t NO WAY he has been cutting that grass at all. EXCUSES, EXCUSES & Lies 🙄🙄

@@chiquitacraft3645 Cut them some slack. They're probably embarrassed to even go back out there. Some probably feel very ashamed even though circumstances prevent them from caring for their yard. You never know what people are going through.
@chiquitacraft3645 1. maybe they are sick and in bed? 2. not home (left with someone else) 3. car broken down - doesn't run - waiting for tow truck 4. their garage is full of junk, and the driveway already has cars parked on it so no room to park 5. they are online playing solitaire 6. they are just one of those kind of people who aren't aware and observant of things 7. they have no other place to park their car (see #3) 8. they are busy taking care of their children/elderly relative/sick spouse 9. they broke their leg/foot and cannot easily walk outside to move the car 10. all of the above
So, I can understand the owner having issues with the mower. A shovel and a rake work in all weather conditions. No excuse for allowing the sidewalks to be overgrown or the yard filled with trash and dead branches etc. good job Mr Brian 👍
I got hit in the head on car accident 3 years ago. I'm now in social security and a limited budget. I can't afford to pay someone to come help. I'm stuck. I can't use a right or a shovel. My back will just go into complete spasms. I cried just sitting on the toilet to try to pee yesterday. I have an appointment with ANOTHER spinal specialist on monday. You can say it's easy to use a shovel in a rake but that's not always true. It takes back strength to do that. Stop judging people. Especially when you don't know the circumstances.
@@Laurasophiesmith I've mentioned it to the neighbors that I'm going under and it would be nice if somebody would offer to help but they didn't. They can go to church on Sunday but they can't help a neighborhood in need. I've offered the babysit, take care of their animals if they want to go out of town, would do anything for free for the help. No offers. I said you can call my mom. I have passed federal background checks, I have a cwp license, I'm updated on my CPR in first aid certifications, I've been a scuba diver for 38 years, I'm a real good photographer, I just can't handle a shovel or doing physical manual labor with my back right now. It's sad. It's depressing. I haven't given up but I'm not getting any help.
Funny how the homeowner uses the excuse of rain impeding his ability to mow yet the neighbors around him have been able to maintain their lawn. I’m sure they had the same rain as he did. Just lazy. But you are a good hearted man who does the right thing.
We are all doing the best we can with what we've got, at any one time. The last time I compared my insides to someone else's outsides, I made a fool of myself, to myself. That one taught me -- I don't know WHAT other people are dealing with -- we all are so good at keeping up "an appearance", until, sometimes, when someone gets a look at where we reside, day in, day out.
Maybe they never asked because they never saw him out doing anything in the yard. He looked like he was capable of mowing his yard or he could pay someone to do it for him.
You are the hardest working man I’ve ever seen! I appreciate your work having lost my husband 3 years ago and knowing how the yard can quickly overwhelm one. Thanks again!
Great job. You went from super hot, to wet, to muggy. All the neighbors that came by to talk and you were very nice to each one of them. Thanks for the great video!
You always do such an amazing job bringing these neglected lawns back to life I guess the neighbors couldn't believe it was actually getting cut and cleaned up. God bless 🙌👍
Such a dramatic change! So much hard work and persistence at hand... Really enjoyed this and look forward to seeing the (da da dum) BACKYARD! You are brave to do this- I kept waiting for creepy-crawlies to come out of the grass or dirt or trees. Maybe they were there but not visible on camera? Great job and such a blessing to the owner.
You’re a one man wrecking crew! Well done! What makes your channel different is that you take all the cut grass away, blow it out, then bag cut it. That makes all the difference in the end results- which are beyond fantastic!
There are just some yards too far gone to tackle. I think that was one of them. Kudos for the work you did plus cutting the tree too, that was above and beyond the "call of duty". It looks beautiful.
Very good job! The homeowner must be so happy for a beautiful front lawn they have now. I bet their property goes up just by keeping their lawn nice and clean. I hope you got paid by doing it.
Mr rake would not be anything without you Brian. Another fine job you have done with this yard. I cannot wait to see what you do in the back. Don't over do it in the heat. I think you spoke with every neighbor on the block.
@@leecarey4375 I would have turned this property into the city. Maintaining the lawn to at least stay in code is not asking too much. The neighbors all seem to have their properties looking nice and well kept. People like this homeowner are bad for property values. Overgrowth not only looks bad it also brings an increase in bugs, snakes and rodents. So, I agree the owner in a real piece of work!
It’s a joy to watch you work,thank you for for giving your time to help others, you make the world a better place,may you be blessed,live long and prosper,
It's Thursday once again!!! Got through T.S. Debby without any damage here in Central Florida only lots of rain but the Atlantic Ocean is getting busy and we are only in August. What a nightmare to take on Brian.!! God Bless You for another challenging lawn restoration I think you love a good challenge. How wonderful you have a crowd forming across the street of nosey neighbors. Soon they'll be selling drinks and making videos with their cameras. You are such a good man for doing this and you help so many people. Kudos to Mr. Rake!!!!Who doesn't love a GOOD RAKE !!!
That was simply amazing Brian. A big shout out to Mr Rake as well. Bless you Brian, for shaping this phenomenal transformation. Take care and hope you recover. You’ve brought a lot of pleasure to people, including I’m sure, your client 👍👍👍
I've cut my neighbors' grass when they didn't have a mower. All we asked of them was to buy the gas it would take to cut theirs and mine. We even would do the weed eating for them. You would have thought I was asking for $50 for a cut instead of a 5-gallon jug of gas that would last 2 weeks at a time for both yards. Other neighbors we helped out didn't complain at all, they would offer more but we told them to just pay for gas. There was one lady who would cook meals and make goodies for us on top of having a jug of gas for us. We soon stopped helping out the one neighbor who instead of being thankful, would grumble. Sometimes the good neighbors have to end up acting like AH and stop the dependency and entitlement of those who won't help their own selves and expect others to do for them.
@@jeanbruce2676 Why ask the people to buy gas for your lawn too? I can see you asking for them to buy gas for their portion of the lawn cutting but not for yours too.
@@lashawnnelson9257 because my husband and I provided the labor and mower to cut their gas. The other neighbors had no problem doing that as the gas I had asked for cut 4 yards. Which would you rather pay...$50 twice a month or $5 bucks for gas? They got a pro service for next to nothing...hubby and I both did landscaping as work. They wanted something done for nothing...the real world don't work that way
Brian you are such a hard worker. It looks so different now. I like the way you make Mr. Rake work, when he pulls away you push him back and make him work harder than ever before. LOL Hope you have a good weekend. Thanks for sharing. :)
I am not even shocked that we have home owners who don’t give 1 💩 about their house appearance. Take some damn pride in your house. Renter or not…. You got time to be on your phone you got time to get out there and do something to your yard. Either rent the tools or hire someone…
Yes back in the days when I did have to rent ,always treated the place as if it was our own , when we moved on always were given good references for renting somewhere else
Yes I did too. I rented a house for 12 years. My landlord who has many rental properties said I was the best tenant he ever had. Unfortunately I got sick and had to go to a nursing home.
I wouldn't have said anything if I was that renter. People don't have to have a Martha Stewart yard, but mow it when it's wet if you have to. If you are able and have a mower,then mow your yard. He said he has a good expensive mower!!!!!!
I had to laugh, the young homeowner makes it sound like it's been a couple of weeks of rain, and tall grass, the neighbor says it hasn't looked like this in 2-3 YEARS.
What an amazing job you did transforming this almost-covered yard. Thank you for your free services to these homeowners. I'm sure they appreciate what you've done for them and the community. God bless you. ⭐️🙌🏽⭐️👍🏽⭐️💙⭐️💯⭐️.
@TopNotchLawns I was coming to comment on how great you look! Congrats! Excellent job on the lawn. You always go way above and beyond. It truly is amazing!

He Can Out Of Decency & Respect Go Get You Some Drinks & Food. That's A Huge Work There!!!!!!!
I have watched a whole lot of videos on lawn and tree cleanup and YOU WIN the Prize for sure on this cleanup. WOW I imagine you will be tired for sure at the end of this day. The sidewalks and the driveway were a nightmare and took a whole lot of muscle, sweat and energy. God Bless you for doing this job and the neighbors love your work.
That clean-up is quite astonishing. Well done Mr Rake and Top Notch Lawn Care you have both worked hard. It would be wonderful if the neighbours would take it in turns to just keep it nice again!!
My mouth dropped open when I saw the Before & After.!!! What a bloody brilliant job!! Doesn't even look like it's the same house!! I bet you've made quite a few neighbors happy. If he doesn't maintain the lawn then maybe they should get a team going so it doesn't get out of hand again. Maybe you can convinced a lazy side to help. Maybe you can convince the lazy sod to help. Lol 🙂🇨🇦✌️
That was some firewood I would've loved to have for this winter. What a major, major difference you made in this lawn and home. Truly an act of compassion on the owner and neighbors. Hope he can manage to keep it up now.
The home owner looked like he could be out cutting the grass ! Or at least helping you !
Lazy people always make excuses
The person who lives there is just lazy thank God for this man doing the work. Amazing job

@@Laurasophiesmith I've mentioned it to the neighbors that I'm going under and it would be nice if somebody would offer to help but they didn't. They can go to church on Sunday but they can't help a neighborhood in need. I've offered the babysit, take care of their animals if they want to go out of town, would do anything for free for the help. No offers. I said you can call my mom. I have passed federal background checks, I have a cwp license, I'm updated on my CPR in first aid certifications, I've been a scuba diver for 38 years, I'm a real good photographer, I just can't handle a shovel or doing physical manual labor with my back right now. It's sad. It's depressing. I haven't given up but I'm not getting any help.
That’s years of neglect. But it is what it is & you guys have worked your miracle. ❤
Funny how the homeowner uses the excuse of rain impeding his ability to mow yet the neighbors around him have been able to maintain their lawn. I’m sure they had the same rain as he did. Just lazy. But you are a good hearted man who does the right thing.
We are all doing the best we can with what we've got, at any one time. The last time I compared my insides to someone else's outsides, I made a fool of myself, to myself.
That one taught me -- I don't know WHAT other people are dealing with -- we all are so good at keeping up "an appearance", until, sometimes, when someone gets a look at where we reside, day in, day out.
What a transformation!! I love watching you do God's work. It's a shame no one who came up to you offered to help this man. God bless you!
Thank you so much ☺️👋😊 Blessings to you
@@TopNotchLawns if you lived in my area i would definitely pitch in! Lawn work is rewarding in every way.
@@tonylirette8988Me too and I am old and use a walker, but I’m sure there is something I could do to help.
Maybe they never asked because they never saw him out doing anything in the yard. He looked like he was capable of mowing his yard or he could pay someone to do it for him.
Can't tell that it's the same house/property!!! Mr. Rake (and you) did an amazing job!
Thanks!! The most valuable player!
Home owner keep up the good work please maintain your yard be proud of it no excuses
Wow! You deserve every "like" you get working that hard in that heat!!!
Thank you Mr. Rake for all the support you give the workers
Thank you Mr. Rake for helping Brian with the yard he definitely needed it. The yard was way overgrown. Brian your a good guy for helping people.
Wow. What a transformation!! I'll be the neighborhood really appreciates all that you did for them. Now they even have a safe sidewalk.
The lawn and sidewalks are much safer thanks to you and Mr. Rake. 😊
Thanks to Mr. Rake, Mr. Shovel and your back.
You are the hardest working man I’ve ever seen! I appreciate your work having lost my husband 3 years ago and knowing how the yard can quickly overwhelm one. Thanks again!
Great job. You went from super hot, to wet, to muggy. All the neighbors that came by to talk and you were very nice to each one of them. Thanks for the great video!
You always do such an amazing job bringing these neglected lawns back to life I guess the neighbors couldn't believe it was actually getting cut and cleaned up. God bless 🙌👍
Thank you Mr. Rake for the outstanding job you did today and for helping Brian on this incredible transformation! You and Brian "ROCK"!!! Well done!!😘
Such a dramatic change! So much hard work and persistence at hand... Really enjoyed this and look forward to seeing the (da da dum) BACKYARD! You are brave to do this- I kept waiting for creepy-crawlies to come out of the grass or dirt or trees. Maybe they were there but not visible on camera? Great job and such a blessing to the owner.
You’re a one man wrecking crew! Well done! What makes your channel different is that you take all the cut grass away, blow it out, then bag cut it. That makes all the difference in the end results- which are beyond fantastic!

Thanks so much Mister Rake for doing your job without complaints! 😂😂😂
Lol 😆 Definitely!!
Why do I enjoy watching you work. I must be slightly off. But thank you for your kind service
Well I appreciate your offness!! 😆😆 Hope you’re having a great day!
The last five minutes is what most youtubers do! Awesome job. You have saved the neighbours (and the owners) from a real eyesore
This is the only video that I have watched that the landscaper takes all the debris away even the grass clippings. Great job.
JIC you might enjoy watching Midlife Stockman. I don’t know if you watch him or not. He does similar work in the Detroit, MI area.
Great job. I sure hope the homeowner keeps his yard maintained now that he can see how great it can look.
What a difference you have made to this property. Now it looks cared for. ❤
Would like to see it in a year. More than likely, the owner let it go again... .😮
There are just some yards too far gone to tackle. I think that was one of them. Kudos for the work you did plus cutting the tree too, that was above and beyond the "call of duty". It looks beautiful.
Thanks man this was definitely a tough one!! Hope you’re having a great one
@@TopNotchLawns Yes, it looked like you were almost at the "end of your rope" when you were finishing.
God Bless you helping this yard sad it isn’t being kept up Hope and Pray 🙏 they will keep it up
A great big shout out for Mr. Rake !😂
Mr Rake , i don't know if he'd ever get it done without you. Nice job on the front yard.
Very good job! The homeowner must be so happy for a beautiful front lawn they have now. I bet their property goes up just by keeping their lawn nice and clean. I hope you got paid by doing it.
Mr rake would not be anything without you Brian. Another fine job you have done with this yard. I cannot wait to see what you do in the back. Don't over do it in the heat. I think you spoke with every neighbor on the block.
I so appreciate your dedication, but I wonder if the homeowner would not have been better served by lending you a hand?
This property owner is a real piece of work. Making someone else responsible for something he should be doing himself or paying others to do for him.
You don't know anything about the owner to make a comment like that. You have no idea what the circumstances are.
You have no business judging someone you don't know. You have no idea what his circumstances are.
@@leecarey4375 I would have turned this property into the city. Maintaining the lawn to at least stay in code is not asking too much. The neighbors all seem to have their properties looking nice and well kept. People like this homeowner are bad for property values. Overgrowth not only looks bad it also brings an increase in bugs, snakes and rodents. So, I agree the owner in a real piece of work!
If there wasn't home owners like him we wouldn't have these videos to watch and brian would have to find a different job. Let's not judge ❤
@@leecarey4375 you are absolutely correct
Another transformation well done. I love your videos, thank you for sharing.❤
Thanks Bren 👋👋😊 i’m sure I’ve told you before, but I couldn’t do it without you!!
You are an AWESOME person. You and Mr Rake have done a AMAZING JOB. GOD BLESS YOU.......
It’s a joy to watch you work,thank you for for giving your time to help others, you make the world a better place,may you be blessed,live long and prosper,
Wow, Brian! You make beauty out of chaos. God bless you as you continue your ministry.
Thanks so much Pam ☺️👋 Blessings to you
It's Thursday once again!!! Got through T.S. Debby without any damage here in Central Florida only lots of rain but the Atlantic Ocean is getting busy and we are only in August.
What a nightmare to take on Brian.!! God Bless You for another challenging lawn restoration
I think you love a good challenge.
How wonderful you have a crowd forming across the street of nosey neighbors. Soon they'll be selling drinks and making videos with their cameras. You are such a good man for doing this and you help so many people. Kudos to Mr. Rake!!!!Who doesn't love a GOOD RAKE !!!
They “ judge” but don’t help,😢😢😢😢 I was brought up to help thy neighbor .
That was simply amazing Brian. A big shout out to Mr Rake as well. Bless you Brian, for shaping this phenomenal transformation. Take care and hope you recover. You’ve brought a lot of pleasure to people, including I’m sure, your client 👍👍👍
I bet the neighbors are all loving you what a transformation you did a fantastic job ....
Great job Brian! And here’s an applause for Mr. Rake!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Mr. Take you are invaluable! Thanks for sponsoring Brian.
Definitely!! Thanks Penny 👋😊☺️
My word!! 😂
You do such great work, Brian. BRAVO 👏 👏 👏

Hey Texas Nana ☺️👋😊 Thanks so much! Couldn’t do it without you!
It so disappointing that not one neighbor would offer to help this person
I've cut my neighbors' grass when they didn't have a mower. All we asked of them was to buy the gas it would take to cut theirs and mine. We even would do the weed eating for them. You would have thought I was asking for $50 for a cut instead of a 5-gallon jug of gas that would last 2 weeks at a time for both yards. Other neighbors we helped out didn't complain at all, they would offer more but we told them to just pay for gas. There was one lady who would cook meals and make goodies for us on top of having a jug of gas for us. We soon stopped helping out the one neighbor who instead of being thankful, would grumble. Sometimes the good neighbors have to end up acting like AH and stop the dependency and entitlement of those who won't help their own selves and expect others to do for them.
@@jeanbruce2676 Why ask the people to buy gas for your lawn too? I can see you asking for them to buy gas for their portion of the lawn cutting but not for yours too.
@@lashawnnelson9257 because my husband and I provided the labor and mower to cut their gas. The other neighbors had no problem doing that as the gas I had asked for cut 4 yards. Which would you rather pay...$50 twice a month or $5 bucks for gas? They got a pro service for next to nothing...hubby and I both did landscaping as work. They wanted something done for nothing...the real world don't work that way
My thoughts about them also 😮
@@jeanbruce2676no worries, you can't please everyone.
Wow, you did a fabulous job! Mr. Rake, you did good. Lol, that is a transformation
Brian thank you for all your hardwork GodBless you
Man, I'm addicted to these videos like crack. 🤣 Amazing job as always Sir Brian! Thank you for making this video. 😃👍
Oz looks able bodied. Why isn't he out there helping you ?
I agree
Exactly
Job well done as always. Thank you. God bless. Enjoy your weekend
Thanks as always 😊👋 blessings to you and you have a happy birthday as well
Thanks to Mister Rake for helping out so much😊
Mr. Rake did a fine job today. Really makes his tool buddies proud. 😊
Brian you are such a hard worker. It looks so different now. I like the way you make Mr. Rake work, when he pulls away you push him back and make him work harder than ever before. LOL Hope you have a good weekend. Thanks for sharing. :)
😆 lol Definitely! Hope you have a great weekend as well Mary
WOW! Now that’s a transformation. A back breaking 1 at that! Great work 🇺🇸
Thanks Darla! 👋😊🇺🇸🇺🇸
I am not even shocked that we have home owners who don’t give 1 💩 about their house appearance. Take some damn pride in your house. Renter or not…. You got time to be on your phone you got time to get out there and do something to your yard. Either rent the tools or hire someone…
Yes back in the days when I did have to rent ,always treated the place as if it was our own , when we moved on always were given good references for renting somewhere else
Yes I did too. I rented a house for 12 years. My landlord who has many rental properties said I was the best tenant he ever had. Unfortunately I got sick and had to go to a nursing home.
How do people live like this
I wouldn't have said anything if I was that renter. People don't have to have a Martha Stewart yard, but mow it when it's wet if you have to. If you are able and have a mower,then mow your yard. He said he has a good expensive mower!!!!!!
I had to laugh, the young homeowner makes it sound like it's been a couple of weeks of rain, and tall grass, the neighbor says it hasn't looked like this in 2-3 YEARS.
What an amazing job you did transforming this almost-covered yard. Thank you for your free services to these homeowners. I'm sure they appreciate what you've done for them and the community. God bless you. ⭐️🙌🏽⭐️👍🏽⭐️💙⭐️💯⭐️.
Mr Rake you did a great job! I need a rake just like that
Good job Brian I don't know where you get so much energy from that's good
Working on my diet and health has definitely helped!
@TopNotchLawns I was coming to comment on how great you look! Congrats! Excellent job on the lawn. You always go way above and beyond. It truly is amazing!
😮😮😮😮😮 Brian, wonderful Transformation. Top Notch Signature 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊. Thanks for sharing and continue to take care of yourself, stay blessed and cool 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Beautiful transformation Brian, along with Mr. Rake's assistance. Now waiting to see the back yard done!! Get some rest you will need it!! 😊
Mr.Rake thank you for helping Brian do a wonderful job
You🫵🏻 Top Notch is A Beast @ What You Do in All Your Videos!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I've Been Watching You for Years Starting from Shreveport, Louisiana to Back Home in Oahu, Hawaii. I moved back down here After been Up there for Over 20 years. I'm Your 1# Fan For Life Mr.Top Notch!!! May God Bless You in All You Do with Your Family! I hope that Homeowner Pays It Forward!!!!! He Can Out Of Decency & Respect Go Get You Some Drinks & Food. That's A Huge Work There!!!!!!!
I have watched a whole lot of videos on lawn and tree cleanup and YOU WIN the Prize for sure on this cleanup. WOW I imagine you will be tired for sure at the end of this day. The sidewalks and the driveway were a nightmare and took a whole lot of muscle, sweat and energy. God Bless you for doing this job and the neighbors love your work.
Sue Wolfe- You win the gold medal here, Brian! Great job! It doesn't look haunted any longer. 👌💪👍👏😎♥️
Hey Sue 👋👋😊 Definitely brought it back to the neighborhood!! Hope you’re having a great week
That clean-up is quite astonishing. Well done Mr Rake and Top Notch Lawn Care you have both worked hard. It would be wonderful if the neighbours would take it in turns to just keep it nice again!!
What hard work on this property wow poor you
My mouth dropped open when I saw the Before & After.!!!
What a bloody brilliant job!!
Doesn't even look like it's the same house!!
I bet you've made quite a few neighbors happy. If he doesn't maintain the lawn then maybe they should get a team going so it doesn't get out of hand again. Maybe you can convinced a lazy side to help. Maybe you can convince the lazy sod to help. Lol
🙂🇨🇦✌️
You are a legend Brian. 🤜🤛🏆
Thanks man 👍🤜
That was some firewood I would've loved to have for this winter. What a major, major difference you made in this lawn and home. Truly an act of compassion on the owner and neighbors. Hope he can manage to keep it up now.
You could probably have contacted a service organization in your area that would have picked up the firewood.
You mean he lives there?
The transformation is amazing! Great Job to You and Mr Rake! 😊
Tremendous job you needed a helper on this one, hope you have some assistance on the back yard, you are a WORER ❤❤
So much work! What a huge improvement.
I can’t believe the difference in that house. Great job Brain. Love your work.
It turned out amazing, thanks to you and Mr. Rake
I have to give props to Mr. Rake. He's a hard working young feller! Mr. Shovel did a lot too!
I love your videos and mister rake has been really working today he loves his job😅😅😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤
I really like that “Mr Rake”. Going to get my daughter one !!
