HARDEST Yard Makeover EVER! Roots, MEGA-VINES, a Decade of NEGLECT!
Ойын-сауық
I appreciate you checking out my latest yard makeover. This nice woman in her 70's just gave up - she said it got out of control and there was nothing she could do.
I actually mowed the yard across the street the week before and looked over and saw this one and said, "I gotta do it." I didn't really know what I was signing up for. Vines and roots everywhere, half of her driveway covered, even with help from a friend it was a massive task.
I continue to look for people I can help - people I can be a blessing to. It's back-breaking work but very satisfying. If you'd like to help be part of the mission by donating I have a "buy me a coffee" page. It is very much appreciated and the funds go right back to the into the projects I do for people. Here's the link: buymeacoffee.com/upnorthmowin...
You all are the best. Thanks for your kind words and encouragement. It really means a lot.

I live around the corner and saw you out there making the amazing transformation. Saw the KZread decal on the truck and subscribed right away. House looks amazing and how cool that I get to watch the process on video. Thank you for all of your hard work!

Oh wow that's so nice!! It's really cool to hear from a neighbor. I really like the thought of not only helping the homeowner but giving the neighborhood a more orderly view as well. All the best!!
I am not sure if I might’ve commented on this before but a tip I have seen elsewhere. The guys do when they have a whole Lotta Brush that they’re piling up as first of all get a tarp, but second take a small rope or a bungee cord with two ends that have holes (or tie ends up)and then use your mower tractor, to pull the branches to where you wanted to finally go saves a whole lot of walking and extra work. Especially at our age.!!

I didn't have my mower - needed the room on the trailer to haul the branches away.

THAT was a ton of work! Note to self....call a lawn guy BEFORE it gets like this. Nice work.
I really appreciate the historical little bits, and the fact that you’re honest about how long a quality job takes! You’re a one- man force! 😅

I really like that you tell us about the different plants as you work. Everything is looking very nice, you certainly do a good job.
I enjoyed the information about the flowers. As a senior citizen myself I can attest to the fact the yes, grunting helps 😂. Those were some really large roots on that tree stub. Good job.

That tree was amazing. It must have completely blocked out the sun for the roots to grow so close to the surface.
I LOVE watching yard and garden transformations...especially helping the elderly. I'm old (83) and used to do all my yard work, but of course not any more...but I sure enjoy watching you guys and gals who are out there doing this fantastic work...to me, working with plants and trees just made me feel good. I appreciate your meticulous work. P.S. and yes, keep telling us about the plants you work on...nice touch and educational.

Excellent!! Great work!!
Lots of tree roots like that where we live
I'm lovin it😊😊😊😊
WOW, You had your work cut out for you with this one. Great video.
Delightfully ginormous make over! Outdoors with Eric (and son) mentions scooping under the turf encroaching the pavement edges with a shovel to free it for easy edging. Using this technique he easily produces magnificent turf boas. Fear not, your boas are steadily improving.
Outstanding!
Awesome job ❤
Great job!
Iv'e done that, used old cowboy boots ad planters 👍
The first part of this lawn transformation is AMAZING. You did so much trimming,edging & shovel work. The house looks so much nicer, can't wait for next episode. Take care & be safe.

That's very nice, thank you. And you get extra credit points for weaving the word "ginormous" into your comment. Brilliant!!
Really good start to the transformation. 🙂👏🏻👏🏻 Look forward to seeing the rest. You may want to check out Spencer with SB Mowing if you haven’t already to check out the tool he uses to attach to shovels, trimmers, rakes, and just about any other straight shaft. It helps give more leverage and make it easier to shovel more stuff. The tip about using a tarp is a good one too. I’ve been doing that a lot myself.
great job
Looks fantastic so far
Skuller, thank you for the amazing work on part 1 of the yard transformation! I really appreciate the history behind the Lily and Lilac bush; it's a fantastic idea! Happy Independence Day 2024. God Bless America

To get rid of that stump,take a large drill bit and make a hole in the top as deep as the bit will go in then make one on the side to hook up with the hole ,that is an air hole,as big as that stump is you might do it 3 or 4 times around it then burn it in the holes.

You need a Darwin grip for your trimmer, sure would save your back.

So I was wondering about that. I assume those grips make it so you don't have to bend down as far? With me being tall that would really be helpful.
The sounds of the lopper was so satisfying. 😂 The edging had a dramatic result. I'll tune in again soon. I liked it. Oh yeah, I SUBSCRIBED! Your Oregon Viewer

I figure you are like me, on the line where you qualify as either a Boomer or GenX. I am technically the end of the Boomers but identify as an X-er, ha. Metallica tees and "golf stride" sure sound latchkey, raised ourselves, came home when it got dark and drank from the garden hose generation. Great job. I would love to see a picture of how big that tree was, considering the stump and roots. I was going to try to help out my landlord because he mows but is hit and miss on edging but I could not find a weed eater that I could lift for any period of time. I ordered a small hedge trimmer that I am hoping will be good enough to get in the edges. My yard is pretty small, it should be good enough. I am an oldie with a reel mower, no battery, no gas just me going over the same area 3 or 4 times. My neighbors think I am crazy. Probably they are correct.
