This format is what I'm looking for. Love how you covered loud machine sounds with a good tune. You chose the right music to go with the enchantment of that garden. Thank you
@@FlawlessCleaningServices it's tough to please everyone. Some like the machine sounds, some don't. Some like just the sounds of raking, shoveling, clippers, digging. Some like music some don't. 🤷🏼 You have a tough job. ☺️
I’m a gardener who has spent 25 years cultivating the mosses in my garden. Sure, remove it for safety’s sake on walkways, etc but mosses and ferns are huge contributors to that magical fairy-tale garden feel.
Well said. I cringed when he mentioned removing the moss from the wall. Then he went and cut out the entire fern. Mind you, ferns grow at an alarming rate, so perhaps he had that in mind.
What an effort to make this garden usable for the owner again! The only pity: the mossy stonewalls were beautiful, sad, that the moss is gone there....
I was going to say the same. I am a gardener in a less lush environment and I would pay money for moss that prolific and lovely! Funny world, isn't it?
I am a landscaper and moss on stones is gold in my book😱just cleaning the walking surfaces to make it safe, keeping ferns coming out of dry packed walls(so beautiful) …please keep sides intact next time❤️
Я полностью с вами согласна! Мне было жаль очищать камни от моха и папоротников.... я хоть и не ландшафтный дизайнер,но некоторые участки не нарушала бы!
Loss of the ferns is no problem as they will regrow quite quickly (ask anyone who's tried to get rid of them completely.) The moss will regrow too but at least now it will be possible to control it so that it doesn't get everywhere which it will quite happily if left to its own devices.
I imagine it is because moss spreads quickly and I know at my workplace it's deadly. I have some mild mobility issues and it is the devils work to tame it. While I agree the ferns and moss are aesthetically pleasing, at least they can actually get into the garden safely now.
I wouldn’t say that people not wanting moss on their walls equals them thinking “life is ugly.” People just have different preferences and that’s completely fine.
I believe this RUclipsr is learning as he goes and will take our experienced gardening tips to heart for future “clean ups”. He and his dad appear to have the best intentions but just may not know the extent of the moss eco system!
Hi, one thing I'd suggest, unless the moss is impacting people's safety I'd leave it alone, it's an incredible microsystem of tiny plants and insects and in stone walls like those it actually helps to hold them together. By jet washing it out from between the stones you could affect the structure of the wall making it unsafe. I live wild gardens like this, perfect havens for hedgehogs, badgers, small creatures like voles etc so it's lively that you've made it accessible to the property owners again. Thank goodness we still have gardens like this and they haven't all been turned into carbon copies of the "hinch" style gardens.
I loved the mossy walls too, but he replied in another comment that the homeowner asked for the walls to be cleaned, so that's what he did. Sad. They were beautiful.
It was good to get the walkways clear, but I actually liked the moss on the walls - gave it more of an enchanted feel. It's a beautiful property that you've helped the homeowner rediscover. Kudos to you for your kindness.
Agreed. Some of the moss on the face of the steps and the plants growing on the face of the rock wall looked pretty cool. I think some of those plants were keeping the rocks secure 🤣
Omg I love the before. It’s like an enchanted Succession of plants and it’s wonderfully gorgeous. That moss on the steps and wall is everything I want in my life!😍
Normally I'm right there with you loving the results but I gotta say, this one broke my heart a bit. I think I loved all of the moss and ferns and the whole secret aged garden look. But, if Steve loved it, that is ALL that matters, God bless him and you two guys.❤
That’s okay to like it that way, honestly Steve wasn’t that great on his feet and told us exactly what to get rid of, he is so excited for the rest now. Thank you for dropping by and leaving a comment 😊
It has to be said that the ferns are not much of a loss as they will regrow. I like the moss covered walls but the trouble with moss is the same as ivy, if it's not controlled it gets everywhere.
While I quite understand the reason for this cleanup it’s good to know that Mother Nature will take back her own when we leave her to her own devices. Great work boys, as usual. 💐
The before pictures showed an intriguing and mysterious garden, but also dangerous. The cleanup was great, except I hated to see the ferns pulled out of the wall. They were beautiful there. Thanks for what you do over in England!
You are such a good, kind man! And your interaction with your boys is so sweet. It is amazing the good you are doing in your community. Your choice of mission work blesses so many people. I wish you and your family many blessings. All the best from the southeast of the US.
I can see that at one time the folks there enjoyed tinkering in their yard! It has lots of sitting spots to enjoy all aspects of their property! We all wish we could stay young to be able to do the hard work required to maintain our yards! Thanks for helping them!
I loved the wild higgledy-piggledy garden, even the green stone-pile walls. I bet its a haven for wildlife and bugs etc. So much so at first I thought, "No! leave it be!" But those steps looked a hazardous and you can appreciate all the nooks and crannies, the stone walls, etc now you can see them. So happy to be wrong. That looked such hard work. Well done both of you. 👏
Definitely, super wash the walkways but go gently on the beautiful enchanting walls especially leaving ferns, etc. alone. You are a gift from God to help those who cannot do it for themselves any more.
Thanks for having me along on one of your adventures Ben, I got a lot out of this time with you. We all should help each other more these days and to watch what your doing is an inspiration! Keep up the amazing work mate i look forward to future blessings
I loved the overgrown look of it at first, but I guess it's different when you have to live with it. The poor owners probably didn't know where to start! It looks gorgeous so far! Excited for part 2!
My grandparents have a home in the countryside and they have this concept of keeping a few routes clean and proper and also mowing a few walkways in the grass but leaving the rest of the garden to grow and be by itself. (Unless it‘s dangerous like rotting trees of course etc.) I have never seen a more beautiful garden than theirs.The amount of wildflowers that bloom and all the small animals you can see at all times, it really feels like a secret paradise. This garden slightly reminded me of theirs! Great work ❤
That sounds like my perfect garden, I live in a 60's council bungalow, luckily back them they had reasonable sized gardens, but mine can never be big enough. I've packed it with trees, shrubs, perrenial plsnts and a small wildlife pond. No grass that's too much like hardwork, the birds love my mini jungle.
What an awesome, magical garden!!! Loved every minute of this video and can hardly wait for more! My hat is off to whoever designed and created that lovely space. Hugs to your precious little ones, they are adorable!
How precious the outro with your boys. I personally would have left the moss on the brick wall, it looked more enchanted ✨, but the staircase really looked great cleaned. Keep up the great job Ben.
I'm gutted that you removed all the moss and ferns from the walls. It took away the fairy Glen look. I can understand you cleaning the steps and walking surfaces, but would have left the growth on the walls for the wildlife. A good job on the paths and stairs though
One of the saddest truths is that as one becomes increasingly elderly and infirm, the first thing to go is usually the garden. Gardens bring such solace and joy to older people, and to see it become neglected and overgrown must be heart breaking. To know that it does so only because one can't look after it one's self must really lower self esteem. How lovely that you guys have restored the beauty that a garden can bring to a life.
It looks wonderful! I live in the desert in the southwest USA, and the climate is hot and very dry. Moss is unheard of. I'm amazed at how the steps were disappearing rapidly. Now they're clean, beautiful, and safe! You're so generous to do that for this person
That's quite the project. I would still rather listen to the tools and scraping than the music. What you do is magic. It doesn't need background. Thank you for your deep kindness for doing this work. So appreciated! So magical! You are creating new dreams as you spray away the moss and rake the debris up. Bless you!
That was a cool garden, I can imagine now it's clean and safer Steve's grandkids are going to love the garden. Well done for that huge effort to get it tidied up and cleaned - garage cam up great with a bit of chemical! Well done to you both.
I’m from America and just found your channel. I am so impressed with you and your work in giving back to communities and people. You are a true Angel on Earth. Nice job on the garden makeover. I can’t wait to see part 2. I also loved that you showed a small part of your your family. They are beautiful children. I’m a Grandma of two with more on the way and I loved your Christmas elf little gifts. So many people go over board on the holidays and you kept in simple and sweet. Letters and kind words are so important to children growing up. The fact that you are exposing them to letters at a young age, will help them Love it as they get older. They are more important than material gifts. Well done Mom and Dad! Keep up the amazing good work raising your family and showing them by example with giving back to others.
What an amazing transformation Ben, together with your friend the garden will be a magical place when you have finished. Ben, I must say I love your little boys. They are adorable. You and your beautiful wife are doing an amazing job bringing them up. The love that shines in your family is a true pleasure to see. Thank you for sharing these little snippets with you all together. May this holiday season be filled with love and light for you and your beautiful family. May god bless you all and keep you safe........Sylvia, Canada.
What an amazing transformation. Looking forward to seeing the next phase! 😎😍 Ben, what a blessing it is to see the love you have for your children. God Bless you and your family. Cheers
Thank you. You are bring peace and kindness back to our planet. The moss was lovely. I don’t get moss at my place. Brilliant yard. Y’all have brought a smile to my face. Hopefully in a few weeks. Texas will get some rain and get down into mid 90F. I can get out in the yard. I would love to see this yard in the spring. Plus love to see his grandkids running about. Nice picnic family reunion. Romance afternoon tea. Treasure hunt. This is not a yard. It is forgotten land of kindness.
That was not an easy place to sort. Love the teamwork. The steps re-appear, a beautiful hedge is now apparent and you were braving rain to do it all. I like this yard as you work on it. We get to see what nice ideas were thought of and are being recovered and renewed. On the second day, as you start on power washing, it reminds me some of having a black and white movie that is suddenly in color. The colors in the stone, brick, etc. are coming alive and not just algae green or black. That is a fascinating yard. Must have taken many years to create. Little places to sit, views, pathways and even grass meadows, as if you were in the forest. You two are doing a great job. Biocide was a good thought, will brighten the colors and keep off a speedy return of algae. How nice of you to do the house walls too. At 18:33 (joke) we see we are now at a completely new property... Thank you to the owners for sharing. Looking for January pictures. At home, you and your wife sure enjoy making surprises for your kids. Reindeer footprints and Advent calendars, etc.
As me as and Chris were doing the work we spoke about how much effort it was to build the steps and how long ago it was all built etc we found it so fascinating to uncover it all
Вы всегда беретесь за интересные проекты,вот и на этот раз вы показали двор ,за которым хозяева уже не могут ухаживать,но когда то в него было вложено много труда и заботы.Но не в этом суть,а в том ,что придя домой хотя вы устали ,но у вас золотое время всегда отведено вашим любимым ангелочкам,вашим детям и это привлекает вашего зрителя еще больше.Здоровья Вам и вашей семье.Привет из России.👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
I don't know how to express how much I admire you. You have a lovely family and I know your boys will grow up to be like their Dad. Although I live in America, I truly admire you and respect your dedication. Thank you for all that you do.
What a wonderful garden! It is beautiful and seems endless. What a lot of hard work by both of you! definitely one of the most amazing gardens Ive seen. Would like to go there.
Another beautiful job performed. It was wonderful spending time with your wonderful family during the live chat. Hoping Sir Theo feels better, and Sir Arthur is enjoying his marshmallows. Until the next blessing....Thank you for sharing. ❤❤🎄🎄
Thank you so much for joining us, I hope to try and do another one soon. Thanks fully we think he’s starting to feel better he’s been off school all week and up the hospital most of the day in the week. Arthur was easily pleased with a lollipop and some marshmallows 😅 have a great weekend
This is the sweetest channel that I have ever seen. The children are so beautiful at the end. I'm an old grandma, so it just makes my heart smile! I've always wanted to go to England, but I never had the chance. It looks amazing!
Such a stunning yard. You are both so beautifully generous with your time. I’m partial to the gorgeous mossy rocks. 😂😂 You are such a gorgeous soul Ben. Your family are beautiful. You and your lovely wife are raising such wonderful little men. ❤
so lovely! 🙏🙏💗💗🤗🤗🥰🥰 and i know its to each his own. i would have left moss on side walls because it gives softer look & charm to the yard, on steps i understand, slipping hazard.
Oh my word... yikes thats a mess. For a senior to walk, yup dangerous indeed.... it was beautifully designed at one point. Very whimsical. Terrific task you two have gotten into!!
I have been SO touched by your videos! You do such hard work and the end result is MAGICAL!! This enchanted garden reminds me of the book called The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. My favorite book from my childhood! 😍Thank you for giving me that sense of surprise waiting to see the end result! I didn’t want this video to end! It is soooooo MAGICAL!!💖 Thank you!!
What a transformation, what a massive job!!! that is some garden...really wanted to see it at the time but was at work and the signal was no good. brilliant job you never fail to amaze, lovely outro too.
I’ve only just discovered your channel Ben and honestly I love it! I’m disabled and to see someone like you help people in need is just amazing I just wish I had someone like you in my town to help me do my garden and make it more accessible and safer for me to use Keep doing what you do coz you’re a heaven sent legend xx
Oh, it's so beautiful! You've done wonders with the place. It's a Narnia garden! Or somewhere in Middle Earth! What shall we find when we turn the next corner?? Nice of Chris to help you!
Just found your channel! First off, your boys are adorable 🥰! This video had me in tears from the beginning. What a truly magical place. It reminds me of growing up at my grandparents house. Grandpa had stone pathways and steps everywhere. Flowers, various plants and trees, birds and insects galore! Mixed all in there was vegetable gardens. My grandparents are gone now; one of my sisters owns the house. I am grateful for my memories of the paradise my grandfather created. I have some of grandmother's Lily's of the valley at my home. I loved the moss covered stones at this gentleman's home but I do understand for safety reasons it had to go 😢. Thank you for this beautiful video; I am looking forward to the follow up. Sorry about the waffling 😊
Hi Ben A shout out to Chris. You both did an amazing job 👍 It looks like a lot of work originally went into creating this garden. Thank you for bringing it back to it's glory days. The layout and colors of the rocks are so awesome. This has to bring back a lot of memories and a smile to Steve. Can't wait to see the next phase of this project. Always enjoy watching you interact with the boys. They love their daddy. Everyone that sees this comment. If you haven't clicked the free subscribe button. Please do so . Help make this a great Christmas gift for Ben. So that he can share his gift with more people in 2023 Thank you from a very happy subscriber.
Thank you so much for the in-depth comment and appreciating the effort me and Chris put into it. January is going to be huge, thanks again. Have a great weekend
This is the most incredible video yet ! Once someone digs out all the stumps and dead trees, this is going to be an amazing transformation. I'm surprised that you found as many walkways and walls there. I'm sure there are more hidden. Great job! Thank you to everyone involved. Love to all.
Stumps of dead trees are vital for the ecosystem so shouldn't be removed. Same with the fallen leaves. They're meant to rot down & add nutrients into the soil whilst providing a home for vital bugs & animals. With the amount of stuff removed from here, it won't take long for the established plants to run out of nutrients and die off themselves. Kinda sad really.
Glad the moss got a going over. It will come back in its persistence glory. Plus it will love the clean steps. A broken neck there, could be waiting. The resident certainly needed a lot of help. I wonder where the family, if any, is doing to help!? Families can be varied, but who are we to question. This young bloke always does a good job and he's jot another bloke with him. I am waiting for fairies and elves to appear. Great work chaps. Thanks xx
All that rockery must’ve taken years to build so perfect. It really is an enchanted garden but I personally would’ve kept as many of the ferns as I could but I realize not everyone likes them . I’ve only found your site awhile back so I’ve been trying to catch up and thoroughly enjoying each and every one. Your little boys are the cutest little fellas and so well behaved . Your dad is a cutie too but not always well behaved. Ha ha ❤ A wonderful sense of humour and a great workman. Keep up the good work. 🇨🇦🦋
Wow! What a magical, better yet, miraculous transformation of a "Once Upon a Time" garden you and Chris transformed for Steve and Jenny. Ben, your channel is the one I very much look for every Friday, for you never fail to make my heart sing! So lovely the downtime with wife and the boys! May all your blessings return to you all a thousandfold!!!
I clicked on this restoration because I liked the look of the garden. I then realised that this was in the UK (yay). WOW!!! I am hooked. I've subscribed to you channel because I love what you have done so far and cannot wait to see Part 2. I'm so pleased to have found your services here in the UK because I usually watch the USA ones. Stunning job to far.
Part 2 has just went live if you'd like to see more of the garden! ruclips.net/video/k0zfj6Ja5qI/видео.html

Thank you
I find trying to get the balance of everything so hard. So I really appreciate that comment

I agree, some of that moss adds charm
Exactly! And is it really necessary to use chemicals?
@@d00dl3s.d1d0pe I do have to agree, Clean the steps but leave the sides they looked lovely.
Well said. I cringed when he mentioned removing the moss from the wall. Then he went and cut out the entire fern. Mind you, ferns grow at an alarming rate, so perhaps he had that in mind.
Ferns are perfectly acceptable shade plants. But the lower wall is mostly covered with algae, which I don't find desirable.
When he pulled the fern out of that beautiful moss covered wall.... My heart broke
likewise when they strimmed through the dogwood branches.
What an effort to make this garden usable for the owner again! The only pity: the mossy stonewalls were beautiful, sad, that the moss is gone there....
I was just going to comment this, it looked like something from Lord of the Rings, so quaint!
Moss can be quite invasive though, so if they left it there it would just start growing outwards onto the walkway again
@@wb624 moss grows slow af tho

Also keeps the runoff from going everywhere.
I clicked on this video just to see how far he’d go. So sad😭 I’m a garden gal and patina like that takes years.
All those cracks in the stone wall reminded me of a video I saw. Strawberry plants were stuffed in them and I thought that was a brilliant idea.
I love moss covered stones, I was sad to see them go, but I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. You guys did an amazing job!
Same. I understand removing it from steps for safety but I loved the moss covered walls :(
I thought the moss was charming too
More like some people lack taste
I'm sure in those conditions, it'll grow back quickly.
agree, they could have left the dykes with lichen and moss as it's not a comfort or safety issue
the mossy stone walls were so beautiful and full of life. Such a pity people think life is ugly :(

So appreciated! So magical! You are creating new dreams as you spray away the moss and rake the debris up. Bless you!
That was a cool garden, I can imagine now it's clean and safer Steve's grandkids are going to love the garden. Well done for that huge effort to get it tidied up and cleaned - garage cam up great with a bit of chemical! Well done to you both.
Cheers Ched, yes can’t wait to more of it in January, have a great evening
You deserve an award for how amazing you all did on this. I'm still in awe.
Love the children with their advent calendar! So wonderful
I’m from America and just found your channel. I am so impressed with you and your work in giving back to communities and people. You are a true Angel on Earth. Nice job on the garden makeover. I can’t wait to see part 2. I also loved that you showed a small part of your your family. They are beautiful children. I’m a Grandma of two with more on the way and I loved your Christmas elf little gifts. So many people go over board on the holidays and you kept in simple and sweet. Letters and kind words are so important to children growing up. The fact that you are exposing them to letters at a young age, will help them Love it as they get older. They are more important than material gifts. Well done Mom and Dad! Keep up the amazing good work raising your family and showing them by example with giving back to others.
What an amazing transformation Ben, together with your friend the garden will be a magical place when you have finished. Ben, I must say I love your little boys. They are adorable. You and your beautiful wife are doing an amazing job bringing them up. The love that shines in your family is a true pleasure to see. Thank you for sharing these little snippets with you all together. May this holiday season be filled with love and light for you and your beautiful family. May god bless you all and keep you safe........Sylvia, Canada.
Hi Sylvia, we are also a saunders family. Thank you for he comments they are much appreciated. Have a great week
I love the stones. Now that the moss is removed, one can see their beautiful colours.
Fabulous job ! You gave the owner back a magical garden area. Can hardly wait to see the next installment ! Love your sweet boys ! ❤️
Oh How I would love that wildlife, wilderness, moss and fern covered garden😍
Beautiful piece of property. A perfect area to transform. You did a great job as always.
I feel this garden has been really wonderful and cared for in it's time. It still seems to haveg
Sorry..great character I'm love mossy walls too but s great job gentlemen.
What an amazing transformation. Looking forward to seeing the next phase! 😎😍
Ben, what a blessing it is to see the love you have for your children.
God Bless you and your family.
Cheers
Appreciate it thank you
Thank you. You are bring peace and kindness back to our planet. The moss was lovely. I don’t get moss at my place. Brilliant yard. Y’all have brought a smile to my face. Hopefully in a few weeks. Texas will get some rain and get down into mid 90F. I can get out in the yard.
I would love to see this yard in the spring. Plus love to see his grandkids running about. Nice picnic family reunion.
Romance afternoon tea. Treasure hunt.
This is not a yard. It is forgotten land of kindness.
love that you share your family with us, thank you
Incredibly clean from black hole . God bless you 4 your kindness.
That was not an easy place to sort. Love the teamwork. The steps re-appear, a beautiful hedge is now apparent and you were braving rain to do it all. I like this yard as you work on it. We get to see what nice ideas were thought of and are being recovered and renewed. On the second day, as you start on power washing, it reminds me some of having a black and white movie that is suddenly in color. The colors in the stone, brick, etc. are coming alive and not just algae green or black. That is a fascinating yard. Must have taken many years to create. Little places to sit, views, pathways and even grass meadows, as if you were in the forest. You two are doing a great job. Biocide was a good thought, will brighten the colors and keep off a speedy return of algae. How nice of you to do the house walls too. At 18:33 (joke) we see we are now at a completely new property... Thank you to the owners for sharing. Looking for January pictures. At home, you and your wife sure enjoy making surprises for your kids. Reindeer footprints and Advent calendars, etc.
As me as and Chris were doing the work we spoke about how much effort it was to build the steps and how long ago it was all built etc we found it so fascinating to uncover it all
❤ what a transformation, 😮 🥰
Вы всегда беретесь за интересные проекты,вот и на этот раз вы показали двор ,за которым хозяева уже не могут ухаживать,но когда то в него было вложено много труда и заботы.Но не в этом суть,а в том ,что придя домой хотя вы устали ,но у вас золотое время всегда отведено вашим любимым ангелочкам,вашим детям и это привлекает вашего зрителя еще больше.Здоровья Вам и вашей семье.Привет из России.👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
You are such a down to earth person so good you help the elderly good on you and your dad
Beautiful job! Love the colors revealed after the power wash. Very pretty peaceful garden❤🌿
I don't know how to express how much I admire you. You have a lovely family and I know your boys will grow up to be like their Dad. Although I live in America, I truly admire you and respect your dedication. Thank you for all that you do.
Beautiful transformation. Lots of hard work. Very treacherous.
You are amazing!!
Cheers Florence thanks for watching it’s much appreciated
What an amazing amount of work thank you so much for doing this
What a wonderful garden! It is beautiful and seems endless. What a lot of hard work by both of you! definitely one of the most amazing gardens Ive seen. Would like to go there.
Yes it was wonderful still so much to uncover
I don’t know how anyone, even in the best of health could expect to keep up with a garden that size. What an amazing job.
Thank you for everything you do it’s so awesome to see kindness xxx
Cheers dawn much appreciated as always
Excellent job - impressive!
Another beautiful job performed. It was wonderful spending time with your wonderful family during the live chat. Hoping Sir Theo feels better, and Sir Arthur is enjoying his marshmallows. Until the next blessing....Thank you for sharing. ❤❤🎄🎄
Thank you so much for joining us, I hope to try and do another one soon. Thanks fully we think he’s starting to feel better he’s been off school all week and up the hospital most of the day in the week. Arthur was easily pleased with a lollipop and some marshmallows 😅 have a great weekend
I truly think how you seem Ms your vedios with family time is so precious and special. Building memories that will endure the test of time.
Fantastic job as always. That really was a stunning transformation! Give the boys a hug from Grandpa Bobby in Texas
Cheers Bobby thanks for watching the boys say hi 👋
This is the sweetest channel that I have ever seen. The children are so beautiful at the end. I'm an old grandma, so it just makes my heart smile! I've always wanted to go to England, but I never had the chance. It looks amazing!
Thank you so much!
Great job as usual Ben! Glad to see Chris working alongside, what a team 🙂🇬🇧
Such a stunning yard. You are both so beautifully generous with your time.
I’m partial to the gorgeous mossy rocks. 😂😂
You are such a gorgeous soul Ben. Your family are beautiful. You and your lovely wife are raising such wonderful little men. ❤
so lovely! 🙏🙏💗💗🤗🤗🥰🥰 and i know its to each his own. i would have left moss on side walls because it gives softer look & charm to the yard, on steps i understand, slipping hazard.
Such a gentle touch, very respectful. Love it.
That garden is massive mate looking good and seeing the lads face when they got their advent calendar is priceless
Can’t have been too far from you in Manchester, have a great weekend
@@FlawlessCleaningServices about 40 mins mate you could of called in for a brew on your way past 😂
I’ll try in January mate! Find me a blessing and i’ll rent Colin for the night

Ah mate legend! Hope I can find one up your way now
Cray cray
This videos make my soul cry out loud
Time and love 💗
Can make things Bella
It's sooo heart warming to see you enjoying your family..
What a beautiful transformation!!! Enchanting still! Love the beautiful rock! Your children are a delight! It's a joy to see their delight!!😊
Oh my word... yikes thats a mess. For a senior to walk, yup dangerous indeed.... it was beautifully designed at one point. Very whimsical. Terrific task you two have gotten into!!
I have been SO touched by your videos! You do such hard work and the end result is MAGICAL!! This enchanted garden reminds me of the book called The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. My favorite book from my childhood! 😍Thank you for giving me that sense of surprise waiting to see the end result! I didn’t want this video to end! It is soooooo MAGICAL!!💖 Thank you!!
What a transformation, what a massive job!!! that is some garden...really wanted to see it at the time but was at work and the signal was no good. brilliant job you never fail to amaze, lovely outro too.
No problem Jo, will do another Live stream very soon! And always going to do premieres from now on. Appreciate you trying to join
I’ve only just discovered your channel Ben and honestly I love it! I’m disabled and to see someone like you help people in need is just amazing I just wish I had someone like you in my town to help me do my garden and make it more accessible and safer for me to use Keep doing what you do coz you’re a heaven sent legend xx
Well done Ben and Chris! That was thoroughly enjoyable. Very nice to see green...very snowy here in Alberta's prairies.
Thank you. We’ve had a bit of snow this week over here. Have a great week
You are beautiful human beings. I watch you each time you do a garden for free. There arnt many people like you out there
Oh, it's so beautiful! You've done wonders with the place. It's a Narnia garden! Or somewhere in Middle Earth! What shall we find when we turn the next corner?? Nice of Chris to help you!
I’d love to see what it look likes I’m the snow ❄️
What beautiful children and a wonderful father
From Cape Town and enjoy your videos very much!
Appreciate you taking your time to watch
Just found your channel! First off, your boys are adorable 🥰!
This video had me in tears from the beginning. What a truly magical place. It reminds me of growing up at my grandparents house. Grandpa had stone pathways and steps everywhere. Flowers, various plants and trees, birds and insects galore! Mixed all in there was vegetable gardens.
My grandparents are gone now; one of my sisters owns the house. I am grateful for my memories of the paradise my grandfather created.
I have some of grandmother's Lily's of the valley at my home.
I loved the moss covered stones at this gentleman's home but I do understand for safety reasons it had to go 😢.
Thank you for this beautiful video; I am looking forward to the follow up.
Sorry about the waffling 😊
Ben & Chris that was the best Christmas present you gave Steve
Keep up the great work
God bless you and your precious family!❤
Hi Ben
A shout out to Chris.
You both did an amazing job 👍
It looks like a lot of work originally went into creating this garden.
Thank you for bringing it back to it's glory days.
The layout and colors of the rocks are so awesome.
This has to bring back a lot of memories and a smile to Steve.
Can't wait to see the next phase of this project.
Always enjoy watching you interact with the boys.
They love their daddy.

Thank you so much for the in-depth comment and appreciating the effort me and Chris put into it. January is going to be huge, thanks again. Have a great weekend
Hi Ben and Chris, you did an amazing job on the pathway. I love when you give us a glimpse of your family life. 💖
I wouldn't even know where to start. Brilliant woek.
Thanks for watching
This is the most incredible video yet ! Once someone digs out all the stumps and dead trees, this is going to be an amazing transformation. I'm surprised that you found as many walkways and walls there. I'm sure there are more hidden. Great job! Thank you to everyone involved. Love to all.
Stumps of dead trees are vital for the ecosystem so shouldn't be removed. Same with the fallen leaves. They're meant to rot down & add nutrients into the soil whilst providing a home for vital bugs & animals. With the amount of stuff removed from here, it won't take long for the established plants to run out of nutrients and die off themselves. Kinda sad really.
Glad the moss got a going over. It will come back in its persistence glory. Plus it will love the clean steps. A broken neck there, could be waiting. The resident certainly needed a lot of help. I wonder where the family, if any, is doing to help!? Families can be varied, but who are we to question. This young bloke always does a good job and he's jot another bloke with him. I am waiting for fairies and elves to appear. Great work chaps. Thanks xx
All that rockery must’ve taken years to build so perfect. It really is an enchanted garden but I personally would’ve kept as many of the ferns as I could but I realize not everyone likes them . I’ve only found your site awhile back so I’ve been trying to catch up and thoroughly enjoying each and every one. Your little boys are the cutest little fellas and so well behaved . Your dad is a cutie too but not always well behaved. Ha ha ❤ A wonderful sense of humour and a great workman. Keep up the good work. 🇨🇦🦋
Wow! What a magical, better yet, miraculous transformation of a "Once Upon a Time" garden you and Chris transformed for Steve and Jenny. Ben, your channel is the one I very much look for every Friday, for you never fail to make my heart sing! So lovely the downtime with wife and the boys! May all your blessings return to you all a thousandfold!!!
Thank you, I love my blessing Fridays. Im hoping to go up to 2 days a week with 2 blessings a week just trying to find the best day to release
@@FlawlessCleaningServices Then we all shall be twice blessed! ❤❤
I clicked on this restoration because I liked the look of the garden. I then realised that this was in the UK (yay). WOW!!! I am hooked. I've subscribed to you channel because I love what you have done so far and cannot wait to see Part 2. I'm so pleased to have found your services here in the UK because I usually watch the USA ones. Stunning job to far.
Love how it turned out! Also, what a lovely family at the end. God bless ❤
Whenever i wnt to b calm nd relax i watch ur videos,it not only makes me happy but i felt very satisfied thnks for doing a wonderful job👍👍👍👍👍
I LOVE this garden! I think it's my favorite one I've seen you do 😊
Defo one of my favourites so far too
