- I have to clean up overgrown grass when I see it in this Random Act Of Mowing.
I've seen this nature strip a few times now and today I finally cleaned it up of the long grass. It's an oddly satisfying reveal.
Thank to all the Legends that support the channel!

Who Are You?
I’m a part time mower guy from Sydney, Australia and I enjoy making videos of yard transformations.
Why do you do...?
I haven’t been doing this forever and I don’t profess to know everything.
Happy to hear alternate methods and efficient ways of doing things.

Thank you
where did you find that type of hedge trimmers for the grass with and extended pole like a weed wacker?
Again, another great job. Some people are of happy u less they are griping about something, ignore them . Keep doing your GREAT work. Thank you.🙂
Least you didn't finger Corey Hines like Charley Sheen 💥💥💥
Your attention to detail was GREAT!!!!
Ignore those who gripe! Tall grass attracts critters who can harm people. Keeping the yard next may stop squatters from taking over. You do good clean work! Be proud!
Not to mention a fire hazard being on a main road. La Niña only lasts so long, it’ll be a drought again soon enough and that’s all potential kindle!
It seems like your camera is to far away. Didn't see any closeups when triming.0
I came here to say exactly this! Keeping a property from looking abandoned keeps the riffraff from thinking it’s available to them.
What you do only helps. Don't understand why anyone would complain. Unless they don't live next door. Beautiful job! 👍👍👍
citys job thats what they get paided to do
I still don't understand why people object to your taking care of an abandoned property. It cleans up the neighborhood, makes it safer from rats and snakes and might even get someone interested in the house.
I agree. I don’t understand it either. He is trying to help out the neighborhood.
Fully agree with you. Makes your neighbourhood looks better
Talk to a lawyer. Maybe they can explain it to you 'll.
it's also safer for fire fighters..if they had to go put out a fire. The fire fighter can SEE what they're walking on. ( trash such as broken bottles, nails on pieces wood
that might be laying in the tall grass..ect)
It's just safer all the way around for everyone.
Plus increases the value of all the homes in that area
Don’t let anyone give you crap for doing what you do. Your doing it for free and you do a hell of a job. Your a blessing to your community. Thank you !
He's not doing it for free. He gets money from RUclips. How stupid are you?
Free? Too bad he doesn't monetize it via YT.
@@vashon100 Free = not charging a customer.
I totally agree with that sentiment. He does good work.
Who cares what people on the internet say. If I lived next door to that obviously abandoned property I would be so appreciative if you cleaned it up. Overgrown yards become a risk for vermin and snakes. Keep up the good work!❤️
💯👍👍
My Grandma used to say “ You can’t please everyone. If you try you’ll be unhappy.” Tim you do wonderful helping others. You do things the way you feel comfortable with. Thanks for the video.
I loved how you used the hedge trimmer to take care of that tall grass. It worked like a sickle mower that farmers use along ditches here in the US. Our neighbor came in and cleaned up 2 acres of pasture; watching that 6'tall Canadian thistle drop like dominoes was so satisfying! Once he had done that, we were able to maintain it with our bushhog.
As for people on the internet giving you grief, tell 'em to kick rocks. It's your business, not theirs; therefore it's your risk. I know the neighbors are probably thrilled with the cleaning up the nature strip, but they'd be delighted if you conquered the yard. So many snake and other pests hanging around in there.
As always, good job Tim!
Your comment about some viewers being critical of you for working on vacant properties reminded me of something I read years ago. It might apply here. It was a poster that said, "If you continue to whittle yourself down to meet other people's expectations, there will soon be nothing left."
If more people would do a little kindness and clean up in their neighborhoods, it would be a better place. 🙂 You do a fantastic job, Timber .
Tim, For every job that is done, there is a couch potato there to tell you how to do it better. Keep in mind, if they could do it they would. You do a great job and you make a difference. Keep up the good work.
I believe you are capable of making your own decisions about how and when to cut and what tool is used.
Loved seeing the improvement. There's no question the garden would benefit from being tidied up, the neighbours would benefit, the neighbourhood would benefit, the new owners would benefit and even society in general benefits from the inspiration of people doing kind acts. So, go for it 😉
Where's the city
Don't listen to those who gripe! Taking care of vacant property is important. Helps control the creatures who live in the tall grass, etc. Also might stop the squatters who take over empty houses! You do good necessary work! Be proud!
I agree with your post! The people who give others like Tim crap for cleaning it up are lazy jerks! I have gone out at 5am in the morning to a busy intersection that is an an entrance to my neighborhood and picked up trash and pulled up weeds jetting between the cracks in the sidewalks. I have reported to either the city or county many times of overgrown vegetation on non-residential property as well as to my neighborhood code enforcement about neighbors overgrown vegetation, cars that have been sitting for months on the street, etc. I am tired of people who seems to be unaware of the mess that they live around it and yes, it attracts low life and crime and it's ugly!! right on Tim The Lawnmower Man!! If I were a guy (and younger) I would be cleaning up the area more
The people that give you a bad time about going on to property that you don’t have permission for, they must not live next-door to anybody that has backyards that are just terrible front yards also. I do and I would be most grateful if somebody would go in and clean them up. You do a wonderful job, keep up the great work.
The problem is that he is solely doing it for profit of RUclips revenue to get views.. either way it's still trespassing and believe it or not since he has no permission destruction of property..regardless if he's cleaning it up or not
What you did is very commendable,night and day.I’m sure locals appreciate what you have done,making it easier to travel on the sidewalk.if you are concerned about mowing badly managed yards and concerned about liability,contact your local constabulary,or police,whoever.and ask them what they about you going in and cleaning up the yard.or go online to property service and find out who owns the property and contact them.might get a new customer out of the deal.great video.keep doing what your doing 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Tom, thank you for your very well meant, useful/helpful tips for Tim and the readers as well.
WONDERFUL ✨😍✨😍
Deep Appreciation from 🇮🇳.
I think that going into those abandoned places does 2 thing's - 1 it helps make the neighborhood look nicer, 2- it gets rid of the hiding places for mice and snakes. That is a very good thing. Nice job!! Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Next time go "old school" try a scythe hehe. Used hedge trimmer the same way a few months ago in my sisters backyard former dog kennel.. It works great, saves trimmer line too
Hey Tim👍🏼💕 I love that you tried using those hedgers but I like the way you usually clean up the grass. Just do what you do best🙏🙏🇦🇺
Looks like the hedge trimmer is a lot more effective and faster than the whipper snipper. Nice job!👍👍
Looks really nice. great service to the community. I'm sure the people who use that sidewalk are grateful. I would be.
Well said
I still prefer seeing you use the whipper snipper. You're so good at it it's always fun to watch.
I've never seen anyone use hedge trimmers to cut down tall grass! From what I see here, it seems that the string trimmer/edger works better and faster. I think mowing first works best. Good job on the nature strip, and the break. I'd say ignore the grouches, and do the yard! I'm sure the neighbors would appreciate it!
When you showed the "open for inspection" sign I wondered why you didn't contact the real estate firm to find out what was going on. Maybe they would have employed you to clean up the yard, but then I thought maybe the house is already sold and it's going to be demolished and the new owners don't care about the overgrown yard. Great job on the nature strip though, I bet the walkers going past are very happy to not have to dodge all the high grass.
Turned out great Tim, forget about those that give you grief over what you do, as long as you get no push back from the land owners , dont worry about anything else.
You just do you! Great job!
You do a great job for those in need. I no the people on both side would have appreciated you cutting that yard to keep the bugs and critters back. You do great work in the community. Don’t let people on the internet stop you from helping others. Pray for people and move on. Great job Tim👍
Seriously, I love that there are people like you Tim. Such amazing work you do!
I like that you give those kind of jobs the extra attention. Makes you stand out and that much more satisfying to watch! Thanks for the videos
For what it is worth, I think you did a fantastic work on this sidewalk. It somehow makes even the overgrown house look better. I don't see what harm it does to keep the grass cut back on abandoned houses. You aren't hurting anything and it does discourage break ins and vandalism plus it keeps the mice, snakes, spiders from overrunning the place and getting into the neighbors yards. All of which makes it a safer place for the people who live around it and their children. I don't know why anyone would report you to the police for basically trespassing if all you are doing is cleaning up the grass???? Any how, I think you did an awesome job ;) Keep up the good work and congrates on the TV thing lol
You can talk to the city or realtor (if there is one) about getting permission to cut the lawn. You could always talk to your local government if there is a way to help out with vacant lots like that.
Thumbs up on what you do for people!👍🏼. A fan in the US!
What you did for the neighborhood was just wonderful. Looked so nice when you did your detail.
I saw this cutting/trimming of the hayfield - and was instantly - "YUP !" This makes more sense than having an entire load of mulched cuttings. Easier to rake and pile for eventual hay wagon (and lawnmower trimming).....
I think the end result on both halves/methods looked great, so for me, the question becomes more about efficiency. I thought the mower did a quicker job of slashing than the hedge trimmer. Was there any difference in ease or time to pick up the slashed grass vs. the mown grass?
As to the mowing without permission issue, I think you're doing everyone a service by keeping the lawns under control, for all of the reasons that others here have already mentioned. In my area (Knox Melbourne), we are required by the council to maintain the nature strip and keep the footpath clear of trees, hedges and grass. Residents can also be instructed by the council to clean up their yards. If the 'mowing without permission' becomes a bigger issue, can you liaise with the council to get their permission, and then tidy some of those yards?
Love your work and videos, keep it up 💪👏
@@willbass2869 I agree, we have gone too far down the path to being a 'Nanny state' :)
Might be a good resource to create a connection with social workers that can connect with people who are struggling.
Please do what you want to do and how you want to do it! You are the expert, using your time, equipment, etc. As for this abandoned property, it doesn't do the neighborhood any good with the property appearance and potential health, rodent, hazards. You always do an incredible job. It looks great!. Your work is always a "WOW." Congratulations on the TV show, You deserve the recognition.
Tim: I'm just going to do the sidewalk area…
Tim: Man! I can’t stand how bad the yard looks inside the fence….I’ll just clean up the fence line inside.
Haha….I was surprised you didn’t just do the whole front yard! I could tell you wanted to real bad! Haha!
The sidewalk area looked GREAT afetr you finished, and I am glad you id along the fence line inside the yard…. It looked so much better!
Awesome service you do! Keep on mowing and caring! G’day to you mate! I always enjoy your videos.
Great trimming on the fence! You make it look easy. 🙂 Congrats on the TV show spotlight. Looking forward to watching 👍🏼👏🏼
Cheers mate
You asked if trimming down the grass first was a good idea. As long as your mower can handle the tall grass, I think this is an unnecessary step. The second half went faster without the whacking down the grass first. Fun video.
You go and do what you do best Tim. Clean up overgrown yards. Don't listen to the naysayers. They just look for a problem to every solution.
Excellent job, as always, Tim! The edging is what sets this lawn apart from others in the neighbourhood.
That came out Awesome! It was different to see you using the trimmer tool, reminds me of the old sickle bar mowers. It will be interesting to see the next one, Congrats on the upcoming news report! This is one of those things that people do not realize how long it takes to make something look that good. In my eye's, do what you want (including the rest if YOU want to) versus seeing neg comments in this section. You do great work, do what you enjoy
Good or bad you will get grief from someone You can't please every one. You do excellent work.
well fuck every body let him cut the grass.
💯👍
So true & Lincoln said it best!
Hey Tim, hope your doing GREAT, another nice job, I would think as long as it is no one on the internet that is a LAW OFFICIAL, I wouldn't worry about what they said or thought 🤔 your doing a AWESOME SERVICE and you do it EXTREMELY WELL, so I wouldn't let that STOP you unless someone of the LAW told you to STOP OR LEAVE the PREMISES, but you are the BOSS of the channel and if it bothers you then I can understand that as well, bandut I think you do A SPECTACULAR SERVICE, like AL, A P ,. JUGGERNAUT, TOP NOTCH, JOSH, SPENCER LAWN CARE and so many others that have your UNIQUE SKILLS, CYA SOON on your next video and BE SAFE 🚜🚜🚜🚜😎
Hi, Deion.
So glad to read All those names among the mannnny Lawn-carers I diligently follw.
Everyone of them are icons.
Cheers, mate.
Nothing wrong with the method of choice to tackle tall grass. A 4 cycle string trimmer would have been my weapon of choice. I know you're using battery powered equipment but I don't have that kind of budget for the battery powered equipment. Long live the combustion engine. Hasn't failed me yet. At any rate it's your show. Do what works for you. Great job
Awesome job as always..! I knew you couldn't resist the growth on the other side of the fence..! 😁👍
That moment of hesitation and you looking at that tall grass on the inside of the fence….It was bugging you as bad as it was me!! 🤣🤣🤣 I knew at that point you said “I’m going in.” Love it! You did an awesome job, Tim. So glad for you about the recognition by the Today Show! Congrats!
I'm new to your channel, but I've been watching the US mowing and power washing channels for a while now and we LOVE it when our guys go to the abandoned homes and tidy up the yards. It's great for the neighborhoods; brings up property values, keeps snakes and mice and wasps away. Not sure why your viewers have been giving you a hard time over it. I'd understand if someone lived there and they said, "No." or you tried to do the yard w/o talking to them, but since the place is abandoned I don't get the problem. You're doing a community service! lol Our RUclipsrs get thank you from police and city workers.
There are plenty of videos of people cutting abandon overgrown yards. Ignore the few that think there is a issue with it. If that is what you want to do than do it. Most of us love them videos.
I think it is great when these overgrown properties are cut, but he could be liable to a fine if he enters a property without permission.
Glad to hear you are getting the recognition you deserve. This looks lovely and the detail is why I watch your channel. Anyone can do sloppy work.
Good on you, Tim. Nature strip looks much better as does the narrow break at the fence line.
Looks great Tim , would have really enjoyed seeing what you would have done with the rest of the lawn.
Love your podcasts. Always something different and unusual. Great transformation as always. Thanks so much!
Looks amazing Tim as always. Congrats on the new show taking notice of your good deeds, well deserved. I hope it Leeds to even bigger and better things for you.
I have never seen anyone use what looked like a hedge trimmer to cut the grass before. It worked but wouldn't just a string trimmer work as well. But it worked and you make things look great. From Texas, good work.
It seemed to me like the hedge trimmer worked great for cutting the tall grass down. What did you think of it? I laughed when you went into the yard to trim the fence line after saying you wouldn’t go in there. Fine by me because it sure helped it look so much better.
I think you should go ahead, and mow all of it. You're doing a great job helping keep the neighborhood clean. Who cares about grief from people that just watch RUclips.
Great job Tim! I hope you are given permission to cut the grass of the abandoned home, it will help the community out a lot!
Mate, love to see that you have a go to different tools to tackle that overgrown lawn...this give us (the viewer's/followers) a number of options 👍
I can't imagine the misery of folks griping *on the internet* to someone tidying up lawns. You produce outstanding results, Tim. Keep it up, and thanks for your hard work!
Great job as always Tim, the hedge cutter work very well, it's another option in your arsenal for those crazy over grown lawns 👍👍
Bless your heart! You couldn’t stand that fence line, could you? Me either!! 😂😂 Tim, don’t listen to naysayers. You help the neighbors and the neighborhood when you clean up abandoned properties. I know I enjoy seeing it cleaned up. You be you!! ❤️
Slashing the grass first makes the finished lawn look so much better. No grass laying over. Looks great. It’s obvious you take a great deal of pride in your work.
Tim have you thought of doing a video using a scythe to cut down tall grass like that? It would be interesting to see how it compares to a hedge trimmer and string trimmer! Great work as ever! By coincidence I used my string trimmer to cut an overgrown ivy hedge on my allotment this week just to see how it would work. It was fine!
Love the details! Looks so clean and tidy!
Great job. Love what your doing for everyone
I’m so pleased that you are getting more advertising from the show💜💜💜👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🇦🇺
First time I've seen someone cutting grass with a hedge trimmer. Good job.
Doing it the right way is always the right choice. Great job!
Tim, you cutting vacant house lawns helps the neighborhood. It’s not a bad thing! You may not be helping anyone in the house, but the neighbors are certainly being helped with their property value! I say, do the yard.
Great idea to use the clipper attachment! Great and generous job, as usual😀
Very nice! I know I would feel more comfortable walking along there. Before I would be a little afraid of something teach out or slithering out in front of me!! So for someone half a world away, but feels like next door, thanks for helping that neighborhood! 😁👍🏻🇺🇸
As we said before…ignore the haters. There is always going to be some. As the neighbors and city about this place and then do what you love and that we love to watch. No harm in cleaning up the yard. Great job as always Tim.
What a great job and great service to the community, Tim. Awesomeness.😀
I'm sure neighbors won't complain. Do what you do and ignore negative people. God bless.
I love how you do an exacting job on the edges! Ok, you gripers, we have a process here; city gets a complaint, sends out and posts a citation, fail to clean up the city bids it out, you don’t pay, they lien on the property, if costs over percentage of value, they auction the property! I guess that’s what you want🤦🏻♀️ why do you watch these videos then?? Go away gripers! We enjoy the cleanups Tim does!👍🏻💚
Slashing gives you a chance to find the hidden rubbish / bricks / stumps before it gets shredded by the mower (or damages the mower)
Doesn't seem like the Ego tool with the brushcutter blade is good as an edger... must have been jumping out of the groove too often...
Broke you're own rule, didn't you? - entering the property... The hedger might be an ally in such situations... being able to get under the fence panels a foot or more to help clear the grass from the inside face of the fence - if there is enough of a gap, of course...
Tim as always you do an awesome Job. Cleaning up Properties for free on your own time. Whether it is helping someone out or Cleaning up a bad lawn at an empty home. Your the best .
Hey Tim, another job well done. Good experiment with the hedger. The down sides I can see are the wear rate on the hedger blade due to being close to the abrasive effects of the soil and the likelihood of the hedger blade running into hard rubbish or a mesh fence. Otherwise, a good try mate, don’t worry about the keyboard no it alls. Cheers.
Great EDGE FENSE trim cut forest sidewalk! Hidrotic job!
Tim - I've never commented on your videos but really enjoy them. I have often wondered why you didn't cut the really long grass first with a hedge-trimmer type device and rake it away while it is in long pieces, so this video was great for me to watch! I had hoped this might be a new tool you would use in the future, but at the 8:55 mark you seemed to have jumped over the fence (which I did not expect based on your opening comments!) and reverted to using the string trimmer to cut the really long grass, and then you went back to the nature strip and did more of that with the string trimmer, so maybe you already decided not to use the cutter bar any longer? I guess I'll have to keep watching your videos to see if you use it again.
WOW ! ABSOLUTELY NICE TIM EDGING, the mowing, cutting, and the cleaning was super 👍 GREAT 😊
Great job 👍
I think there are definitely more pros than cons in regards to vacant property clean ups.
I bet the neighbour’s have voiced their concerns. It looks like it’s possible public housing, so no doubt the concerns have fallen on deaf ears.
No one should give you grief about anything. You are doing a great service.
I think the hedge trimmer saved you a little bit of time. You did a great job here. I knew you were gonna go on the other side of the fence, lol, dont worry about the haters, you just do what makes you happy, you just cant please everyone. Have a great weekend!
Got to admit, that’s the first time I’ve seen grass trimmed with hedge trimmer. A fun vid 👍🏻
Great job Tim. It looks so much better. I don't understand why anyone would have any issues with cleaning up abandoned/empty properties. It makes the neighborhoods look cared for.
I love watching the lawn care transformations! It's great that with a comment too and a like it can support the channel to grow. Amazing work!
If the world was like this young man it would be a better place. Nice job
Saying hello from Killeen,TX. U.S.A. Your doing a great thing by cleaning up those eye sores. Helping keep the neighborhoods safe. Abandoned houses attracts criminal activity and vandalism. How can anyone not see that? God bless you Tim and best wishes to you always.
That was a clever way to cut the grass with a hedge trimmer. You achieved a lot more with a lot less action.
Weedeating inside the fence made all the difference! Looks fantastic! Wish you could get permission to do the yard.
Deine Technik den Rasen mit einem abgewinkelten Hecken Trimmer zu entfernen ist grandios.
Allgemein Spitze Arbeit 🌿🌟
Always go overboard because you never know when you will be judged. Always be a cut above the rest 😌. Thanks for your excellent work 👏. Keep up your services.
This transformation. Don't let people change what you are and who you are or what you do. You do it well.
It’s none of people’s business if you go into a vacant lot. You aren’t there to vandalize. You are helping! Keep doing what you do. Majority of us enjoy it! Clever of you to use the hedge trimmer to cut that long grass. It worked well!!
TIM I BELIEVE YOUR ONE OF THE BEST ON LAWN VIDEO'S THERE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
I think that was a good idea to slash when grass is so long, less stress on your mower too! Having said that your utility mower went through the second section like a knife through hard butter! To the people who say you shouldn’t enter abandoned properties, I think it is much better if they are cleaned up rather than harbouring snakes, mice and rats! Anyway, great job as per always. 🤗🇦🇺
Don't listen to the haters. What you do is a kind helpful gesture Tim. We appreciate you !
The finger mower is an interesting bit of kit… remember using them on tractors 30 years ago and were forever clogging up..
Great use of the hedge trimmer. I would never have thought of using it that way.
tim do it the way you want theres nothing wrong with doing vacant houses every bit helps
Unfortunately he could be accused of trespass if he enters the property without permission, and if something is damaged or stolen he could be accused of that if someone has seen him there.
