Sidewalk Almost Completely Covered From Years Of Neglect - Fall Cleanup Start To Finish
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 окт 2024
- I got this job from one of the ads I posting on facebook trying to help people out. These are some new renters that just moved in and the landlord was supposed to have the yard cleaned up but didn't. Obviously we said we would come get it taken care of.
There wasn't much grass on this one but the sidewalk had a ton of dirt that had been washed over it. I would say more than half of the sidewalk was covered. This job took about 2.5 hours to complete start to finish.
00:29 shovel work front curb

08:50 edging front lawn
10:54 shovel sidewalk 1 more time
11:30 blowing debris back into lawn

Edging! Edging! Glorious edging! LOL Wish I could have been there to help you with that! The blowing looks like you gave everything a bath! LOL I'll bet the neighbors are saying "Well, I guess I'd better get busy with our yard!" Would love to see grass planted now, would look awesome! I loved watching this process so much, thank you for all you do!
lol 😂 thanks lorie 😊 appreciate your support
Grass would be lovely in this yard you did an awesome job if nothing else put in turff
Yes, grass would be nice. Can't believe how the curb and sidewalks were. So MUCH better! 👍👍
Unless they cut back the oaks and keep the leaves raked, no grass will grow. The soil is too acid right now. They need to put lime down, wet it, let it soak in, then in the spring, plant grass.
🙏🏾
Leaf debris looks good for composting 🍃🍂
Yes 👍👍
Good afternoon everyone hope you are having a good day
Good afternoon 😊☺️
That will make shoving snow much easier. You know what’s weird? I kind of like the sound of the shovel scraping the concrete in fast forward mode. 😂 Thanks for sharing what you do. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Renee glad you enjoyed it. I like the sound too
Great observation about ease of snow shoveling!
Based on the condition of the property, I suspect the resident spends about as mich time shoveling snow as they do on lawn care. Zero!
@@andrewgee241 You might be right!
@@andrewgee241 They are new renters...the homeowner never followed through with his promise to take care of it...
May God bless you, for your giving heart, and protect you from those who would take advantage of it.
Thank you so much for the kindness
Brian, edging is the dirty job few are willing to do. I know neighbors who use a lawn service just because they hate to edge. The fact that you focus on edging and take pride in this difficult part of the yard is tribute to your dedication & professionalism... well done as usual!
Thanks Justin I think it’s hard to beat the finished look!!
really i think getting the edging right is so satisfying
maybe im weird but im the opposite. edging is good for my OCD lol
Very nice clean up! Now maybe the grass will grow!
Yes! Thank you
That walkway was an archaeological discovery, great job!!
lol 😂 yes it was!!
That was an unusual type of "fall" cleanup but you sure earned an excavation award. Needed doing. Hate to see most of the leaves have yet to drop... Quite a change, it is now prepped for seeding or other progress. You two did good work.
lol yeah never know what we’re going to get when we get a clean up!! Seed would definitely help! Thanks Robert
Wow, this is so labor intensive! I had to dig out my driveway like that, and I used the dirt to fill low spots in my yard. But wow, it was so hard! What a fantastic transformation!
Yes it’s always good if you can use the dirt to fill in! Appreciate the support thank you Valorie😊☺️
I love that you pick up everything rather than just mulching it in. What a pleasure it is to watch you guys work! Thank you.
Keep up the Top Notch Service! I love the videos!!
Thanks darrin 😊 appreciate your support!
You did it again, making America beautiful one yard at a time 🏠🏡🏘️🏠🏡🏘️🏠🏡🏘️ great job uncovering the hidden side walk.
👍👍 Trillion thumbs up
Lol always appreciate your comments Rhonda and always fun to uncover a hidden sidewalk!
I most enjoy videos with your awesome son helping you. I think every dad would like to have his son(s) work with him at some time. You and he are blessed my friend.!!
I always love having Tyler with me! However in this video my helper is Justin he’s a former worker he’s been coming back to help me
glad you have help....
Yes! 👍👍 thanks
good to see your assistant helping you out..
Yes glad to have him

Hi 👋 Carole always good to hear from you 😊☺️
@@TopNotchLawns enjoy the rest of your day ‼️🙋🏽👍🏽
Goood job Brian and assistant. Looks like a whole new house.👍
Thanks darrell always appreciate your support man
Oh the raking of leaves. I do not miss it at all. Making the lawn nice for the snow to be dumped. Lol. Then in the spring, rake aaagain. It's a cycle of the seasons. Yes that's what people do here in Maine... Love watching the edging. I now look at yards while driving. I know I'm not alone at this 🤣😂🤣😂 Thank you for your time doing good things. 🇺🇸💪🇺🇸
lol 😂 that’s pretty funny I appreciate the support jlo 😊☺️
That was amazing, Brian. You guys sure transformed the front of that property. Super neat clean up 🌟🌟🌟
Thank you Andreas always appreciate your support 😊☺️👍
@@TopNotchLawns It is well deserved, Brian. Quality of work, work ethics and dedication/consideration for your clients are outstanding 🌟🌟🌟
Great job Brian and team. So very good to watch the professionals doing it the right way . Thanks & God bless🎉❤
I need that rake.. have soooo many leaves...love the edging...there was a lot of dirt..another amazing job....👍🏻
Thank you Elli ☺️ yes it’s a great rake!
I love these short videos. 15 to 20 minutes is quite enough. I admire people who are engaged in manual work, who are skilled and hardworking. Who want to invest in tools and gadgets in order to be more efficient. Thank you for your work.
First class service all the way five ***** service all the way !!!
Thanks mike
It's a beautiful fall day there, and I'm sure you are grateful for the better weather to work in. Got your excellent helper today! Work goes better with two people.
Yes! So glad to have Justin back helping me
so much hard work ...so much dirt to shovel and get rid of ...so generous ...so inspiring to get others moving ...you guys are fantastic ...thanks from Aus.
End result is one to be very proud of for both you amd the renters! Landlord should be very grateful (as well as humbled by the labor spared him\her). Beautiful transformation. The camera\video footage excellent and very professional! Well done.
Thank you so much Debbie appreciate the support and kindness
Nothing like the satisfaction of a weed wackier.
I agree!
Yep
Another great job. The 'whole picture' reminds me of one of the first homes I rented after marriage. Your work enabled a caring owner to plant some grass with a reasonable expectation of it germinating and growing. Just a wonderful thing you are doing.
Thanks for sharing your experience Kevin appreciate your support 😊
Great dirt for a compost pile. Couldn't believe how thick the overgrowth was on that sidewalk. Great job as usual.
Like always looks Awesome I enjoy watching your videos many many blessings to you and your family👍❤️
Thank you Kathy always appreciate your kindness and support 😊☺️
Good cleanup! I’m glad to see you have help. No one should work around power equipment alone, accidents can happen. Keep safe & healthy.
I remember some time back someone having a pop at your size, well all I can say is you sure can work hard for someone who’s supposed to be on the large size.l think you have great stamina and you must be super fit doing this work day in,Love you attitude and you deserve all the success in the future.l hope all works out for vision for the future off your projects
Lol well everyone is entitled to their own opinion right😂 I appreciate the support man 👍👍💪💪
That was sooooooo satisfying!
Thanks glad you enjoyed it
As always you over done yourself. Excellent job. Keep up the great work. Tim
Thanks so much Tim always appreciate the support
This makes me happy to see that you have somebody helping you this time my dear it’s good to have a helper with you have a great day hugs
Hugs back ☺️ yes good to have my buddy back helping!
That's some major back breaking crud removal Brian. I think I would have had a sweat on just looking at the job. 👍 who was your helper ?
lol 😂 yeah definitely sweaty! That was Justin
Great job!! So satisfying! Hi to Justin!! ☺️
Thanks yes good to have him
Always looks great when you're done ☺️
Thanks so much Jennifer
😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
Wow, that was one hard sidewalk job. At first I thought that was your son helping but then I saw the tattoo on his right hand but it wasn't until I saw his face that I recognized your former employee. Glad to see you're getting some help with your projects.
Good catch barb ☺️ yes Justin is helping me again
Yes im bck home. Well i call it home i love working with brian he s a very greatful man an icon to look up to. Doing what we do makes it so much easier to sleep at night .
I was skeptical on this one at first, but once again it just goes to show how edging will improve the look 👌 nicely done ,come next spring hopefully they'll throw out done grass seed.
Yes grass seed would be great! And I agree edging always helps!
You are amazing Brian your family and community should be proud of you. Kudos on another beautiful job well done❣️
Thank you so much Heather appreciate the kindness
I think that you did a wonderful thing by cleaning up the yard. I just wonder if it looked a little better with all the leaves covering the ground. Now it looks like a well edged slab of dirt.
Kim, I was thinking the same thing! It breaks my heart to see such good dirt going to waste, and in the spring if nothing is done it will be covered in horrible weeds in no time flat. Mother Nature abhors a vacuum, She'll make sure there's some "green" covering that rich dirt - but it won't be the kind of "green" anybody really wants in a residential setting!
You do,just a great job on these overgrown yards. Thank goodness you care. All the best to you.
Amazing clean up, just still surprised how mother nature can take over when not taking care of the yard.
How many times I see it it’s always amazing!
😲All the leaves 🍁 Gud job buddy ☮️🌎
lol 😂 thanks and they are just getting started here!🍁🍂
I'd like to have all that dark rich dirt!
Probably filled with earthworms and good living organisms. Black Gold!
Yes definitely good dirt!
Luv how you clear street right away and bag it. No sewer stress here!
Looks so good!!! You always make a yard look groomed.
Thanks so much 😊☺️
There was a lot of dirt on the curb and sidewalks. What an amazing job on the edging. That was a very dusty blowing job. Thank you for another awesome video and helping out another person. 😀❤🇨🇦
Yes! Alot of dirt!! Thanks Ray always appreciate man
I would be interested to know what kind of work you do over the winter time if it's not gardening work. You would certainly need a rest. Best wishes from Scotland.
Hi 👋 in Scotland Jemima We do fall cleanups as long as we can. This year I might travel a little further south a few times to warmer weather
@@TopNotchLawns dont come to Los Angeles for work... they are paying us to remove our lawns due to the drought. you are welcome to come for nice weather and fun activities!
This was some hard work! Raking and edging are so labor intensive. All said and done and the "lawn" is just dirt.
I wonder if a metal snow shovel would have worked better along the street and sidewalk. It makes a much wider path
I found they either get too flimsy or too heavy🤷♂️🤷♂️
How wonderful to have your assistant with you! You work well together!
Thanks 😊 yes it is good to have help!!
I haven't seen any rakes like that. Mine keep falling apart or the handle arches. They also don't pick up those big old oak leaves very well. Can you tell me where you found that one?
I bought a big one like that at Home Depot, it came with a mini-version attached. Trouble was, it was TOO big for my no-grass yard, and I gave it away to an admiring roofer when I had new shingles put on! But I kept the min-version, which works great in and amongst my plants!
What a transformation with the edging and leaf removal! Great job. Good helper!
Thank you so much Linda
Landlords are notorious for making all kinds of promises to get renters into theirs properties. Then they seem to have mental block when it comes to actually fulfilling those promises. I have a rental next door and it was empty all summer. Took getting code enforcement involved to get the almost 2 ft high grass mowed. Just sad how a lot of them neglect their properties. Only interested in collecting that rent money!
Oh man that sounds crazy! Thanks for sharing your story
Landlords make money by not spending any. They are notorious for putting folks at risk. Many landlords are jerks.
Glad to see someone helping you with the camera and yard work. Good Job as always
Thanks this is Justin glad to have him helping me
Goodness, that sidewalk!! My back was hurting just watching you!! Another great job guys!
Lol yes this was quite an excavation!
wow well done , you have totally transformed this garden. night from day .
The clearing of the sidewalk was satisfying. Great work!
Cool video. Your cleanup gives them the chance to lay some seed and actually have a lawn next spring. Well done!
God bless you ! You worked hard to make this yard presentable ! All that dirt on the curb and sidewalk wow ! Well done Brian !👍
Thanks Laura appreciate the kindness
Totally AWESOME work Justin and Brian🙌 KUDOS to you BOTH 🏆
Boy oh boy that landlord has some 'splainin' to do. You moved a heck of a lot of dirt and leaves. So glad you had Justin there for some assistance. Nicely done. It's now time to relax in the Lay-Z-boy with a warm cup of cocoa after a good massage. You sure make this world a better place.
Thanks Kerry. Yeah happy to have Justin back helping me out. And yes so much dirt at this one!!
That landlord(lady) just made a few bucks taking advantage of you. The property did not get that way in a few weeks...just saying. Another example of why many people consider landlords(ladies) skunky people.
Its awasome to be bck with brian .fells like im home agin an doing this type of work with him can only make a man feel increadable about him self i love paying it forward an help n the ones in need . its what the world need more ppl to spread gd deeds .
All I can say is Wow! You work miracles.
You are such a hard worker, you deserve all the rewards you earn.
First fall clean up Brian you got all them leaves up and made that property look better keep up the amazing videos
Thanks man always appreciate
When I did garden maintenance during autumn, struggling with tons of leaves, I used a snow shovel in combination with a rake. As soon as you have the hang of it, putting leaves in baskets, bags or whatever, it is a verry efficient tool working with.
Yes that’s a good tip a little harder when the leaves are really wet
Crazy sidewalk. Back breaking. Watched the whole thing. Great job.
Thank you appreciate the support
It was great to see how you combed the leaves until everything was clean. It's like removing knots from a ball of wool. But when time lapse made you work with the shovel at high speed, I was out of breath! I was gasping for air to imagine the effort to remove all that dirt. And there was a caterpillar on the edge, a blackened grass caterpillar!!!. Thanks for showing it to me. Thank you for the work, time and effort you dedicate to others
Oh LOL. Thanks Maria that was a great analogy and ha ha blackened grass caterpillar!😂
What an amazing yard, sidewalks job! You are truly a good soul , awesome job
Thank you Melonie appreciate the kind words and support
Wow......top job !
Thanks 😊👍👍
Edging is the icing on the cake. I hope the landlord sees the nice job you guys did and reseeds this lawn this fall or in the spring.
I agree! Yes seed in the spring would be good!!
Another "TOP NOTCH" job guys...cleaned up real nice
Thanks 😊
What a beautiful transformation in this video! You have to be the hardest working man I have ever sen
Thank you so much Mike appreciate the kind words
Going to look great for this couple just moving in .🤗
Your extremely hard work paid off big time. Looks great!!
Hi Brian,another awesome video & transformation!That was some back breaking work & so nice you had a helper!Take care & God Bless your family!!
Hi 👋 Linda yes always easier with help!! Appreciate your support
I have done lots of this before and without any recognition. I'm very particular to pick up every single leaf, twig, trash, etc. too. I love how it looks after doing al of that hard work. It is quite a workout with the spade too. The neighbors there love you. lol Great job.
That’s awesome you are out there doing that work!!
Fantastic, congrats on your continued success! You do an honest day's work & your lovely son's sincere effort makes it enjoyable to watch!
This was a different helper. His name is Justin but Tyler should be joining us next week. Thank you so much for the support
@@TopNotchLawns Thank you for that! You're a GREAT man and incorporating assistants including your son is good experience for them. Your work makes such an improvement. Its inspirational to all of us. Could metal shovel be much lighter? Seems a very heavy implement. Thanks again, all fun to watch!!
@@coro599 People suggest snow shovels a lot but usually they’re either too flimsy or they get too heavy. So glad you enjoyed them thanks for the kindness
60 years ago I was old enough to use a scissors to cut the grass under the fence line, rake leaves and use a broom to sweep the dirt back onto the lawn.
Same as all neighbors in my subdivision.
Edging was unheard of back in the day of push mowers. No air or noise pollution, either.
Great job helping out the new tenants!
It sure doesn’t bode well for reliance on the landlord.
I hope the tenants watch their back and keep great documentation on everything.
😊👍👍
Good advice. This is how landlords keep their money: do nothing, let the neighborhood and sidewalk safety go to hell, spend as little as possible, and then let charity do their work. Sheeeesh!
Fall! Less grass to cut more leaves clean. Nothing better then to watch a hard worker working hard!😌😉
Thanks for the kindness yes lots of leaves!😊🍂🍁
looking good
Thank you 😊

Looks great 👍
Thanks as always Kristy Bird 😊☺️
Man oh man Brian and Justin, great job. I do not miss that annual chore. My back hurts just watching you from my comfy recliner. 😁
Hi 👋 granny ☺️ lol glad you get to enjoy this chore from your comfy recliner!
Another great job. If only you was local as I would try to be with you on each job. Helping people plus a before and after so satisfying.
Thank you David I appreciate your support! Definitely rewarding work!
That's a big ole dirt patch for a lawn. Maybe now the grass will grow back in spring. Looks heaps better now! 👍
Yes a lot of dirt! Always appreciate your support man
Hi top I see you have your special helper today, that's great. Great job on the cleanup. Be safe
Hi 👋 Gail This is actually an old buddy who’s come to work for me again. Hopefully having Tyler in a video next week
Even with out grass it looks good! I dont understand why people cant take care of there yards and maybe some people cant! Thank you for what you do!
Thank you Marilyn appreciate your support
. Edging makes it look so much better. Well done.
I agree always love a finished edge!!
That was a LOT of work 💪! Good job making it look so much better! 😀
Thanks ☺️ always appreciate gretta girl ☺️
I just hope the owner appreciate how much work went into this ...and they keep it tidy ...
Oh it must be nice to have help. Thanks Justin.
Yes!!
While that was a very dirty job it looks great! I just love that rake!
Of all the yard video's I watch, you're my favorite!!😊💯👍
Thank you so much Rita.
Wow! That property needs some serious love. Start with a good arborist to thin that canopy to allow some light through. Amend the soil, its drained of nutrients, plant a good fescue. Love love love!
Nice job
Thank you Sandra 😊
