But city interstate property across the street is cut every 3 weeks. Wait, there's more. My neighbor 5 houses down from me is the guys who controls the lawn maintenance department. He has to pass that corner lot every day to enter or leave the block. I am 6'4 wearing my work boots. The grass now on its 2nd growth this year is well over 8 feet tall. I use to cut it when I was in my 20s and 30s. Turning 60. Yeah, body too old for that stress.

Hi Tim I live in a new estate and it is up to the developer of land. Unfortunately they did not care nor take any effort in maintaining the land. All the neighbours get together on one day as a community and maintain the area our self. This is so kind of you, it really makes a difference to the people.

So much better, Tim. On behalf of the people trying to walk through that mess...thank you so very much. And, yes, as a woman trying to navigate this world in a powerchair, this is a much appreciated game-changer.

Councils don’t usually bother doing anything for anyone unless it results in lining their own back pockets….(bung).

Some people have no shame... or no idea, or no sense of the larger community they live in and making a contribution back by maintaining their common areas... it's worse with vacant blocks, owners are not there to care... (if they do at all anyway...) Until the property is built upon, and occupied, councils should be able to charge a quarterly levy that goes directly to this kind of thing (and if it is council land, it should be managed properly... keeping footpaths from being a hazard (tripping, fire, vermin etc), forcing kids to ride bikes on the road, or dog walkers onto the road, or collecting the rubbish that blows around in the long grass or that is dumped there by others, being sources of weeds that can spread and blocking drains and gutters because of the lack of maintenance and making sure that services and utility pits can be easily found and accessed... Good work Tim!

The council should be on the real estate people or the builders and put a fire under their kiesters to take care of it or pay you to at a premium wage.

Hi Tim❣ Looks like they maintain that area like our area gets maintained. Let's not weed eat or mow, instead we'll just edge and call it done. Sad they leave it for others to do. Over had to invest in my own cheaper items to maintain my own area. Now all I need is a bush trimmer. Our bushes are supposed to be 4ft tall, they're almost to the top of my 8 foot iron post and my hummingbirds, Orioles and catbird are constantly shaking their heads hunting for their food lol Serious! They should take jail inmates and take 4 of them to areas to keep up places like what you're doing. I know when I lived in Mississippi, inmates put a lot of landscaping businesses to shame. Free labor, and they always want to get out, so use them I say. Have a great week as you're already there or near there❤❤

You'd think the development would realize how bad it makes their development look. Thanks for the video.

Hey TIM, I SEE that the ONE MAN WRECKING CREW ( You ) has been uncaged again for this HUGE PROJECT, looks AWESOME. If that cities working crew would even do HALF the job you do, it would be a MAJOR improvement, but I'm SURE it's like mine and several other cities, they would rather Ride around in the company vehicle and collect there checks and only do the BARE MINIMUM to get by, and actually, you make them look EXTREMELY BAD, especially because there is only one of you and you do the work of probably 4or 5 of them, it's just sad they don't take care of business and let it go like that, Great Job, CYA NEXT TIME 🚜😎

I remember hearing or reading somewhere that you can bill the council for that sort of thing.. maybe you should make a video going back, completing it and giving the council a ring and collecting some money, might give others some incentive to not wait for council as they're useless.

You do find important things to work on. That looked like a narrow footpath through dirt. The end result was quite different. Thanks for making the sidewalk viable to walk. This is so bad, a hazard for collecting rodents and garbage, and time consuming to clean in this poor condition, that it would perhaps work to break the work down in to smaller sections for available time. The outer grass could be mowed next and finally the inside slope next to the fence Trimmed. I recognize that the owner is "making no money" on land not yet being built on, but the least contribution, as far as responsibility to the community, might be for gas, trimmer line, green hauling and a meal. Perhaps, being in construction, they would know solutions and have something like an available dumpster/bin. Nice work Tim.

Would it be possible to get a followup report, and let us know whether the council took it's responsibilities more seriously after you showed them what these places could look like. But the residents would ultimately have to tell them: clean it up, or we'll clear you out!

If only for the somewhat newly poured sidewalk that isn't all cracked up with overgrowth. Good job Tim. 👍

Well done Sir, fantastic transformation. Nice to see that the man who alerted you to this came up and said thankyou. Sometimes just that make the effort worthwhile. There's a new park where my mum lives in Banbury, UK. When the housing developer had finished a new housing estate, they started building the park but they wouldn't officially allow access to anyone as they kept that Harris fencing all around the site until it was officially signed off, despite the grass was immaculate. (especially one piece whichwould have been football stadium standard) Everyone was using it getting through the gaps. Now its been finished, although most of the grass isn't up to knee height yet, just the large increase in weeds gives it an unkempt feel. The really smart part of the grass now has "baby heads" clumps on it so its now not the easiest for kids to play footy on. The council may take it on but they're no doubt too busy looking after the boroughs dignitaries gardens!!!

I used to live around the corner from this water retention pond. Forced onto the streets when going for a walk. Snakes, mice came out of the grass. People just dump excess concrete, building rubble old lounges etc. Spoke to Blacktown Council they replied via letter stating they don’t have the budget to maintain these areas or the footpath surrounding them. They also said its up to the adjoining property owners to maintain these areas. Great job Tim for assisting the community. This is 1 of about 18/20 around that area.

Funny that you should raise this Tim. My local council here in London has given up mowing the nature strip outside our homes for cost cutting reasons. I have taken to doing the bit in front of my house and the four adjoining houses on myself, as has another neighbour for the next three houses along. Outside the other houses no one cuts the grass and it now looks like a wheat field! Very ugly and a fire risk in drought conditions. Can also encourage vermin and eventually overgrow the pavement. Good job mate. I guess Im doing the same thing on the other side of the planet!

The councils should be responsible for maintaining footpaths and nature strips. Vacant land is either awaiting development or is waiting for owners to build. You’re in NSW Tim, I’m in Victoria, if a vacant block/strip looked like this the council would contact you to clear; if you don’t they do it and you get charged the cost. Thank you Tim for caring about footpath, it’s best to use whether elderly or young, no one should have to use the road. Blessings

The mother of an amputee, from the States. Thank you for giving all, ALL people a safe place to stroll. Seniors, children, physically assisted everyone. If the fence would come down and benches up, that would become a nice little park

The homeowners in the neighborhood would be concerned if lightning struck that dried out grass and caused a fire that was headed toward their homes. All that dry grass is such a fire hazard.

That path was insane. I bet everyone will be celebrating as they most likely had to walk on the road but now they can be safe walking on the footpath. Fantastic job Tim.❤️

What a fantastic service you are providing Tim. I’m sure there are people that are able to use that very footpath that probably didn’t or weren’t able to.

Tim, you made that look so good that now the tall grass on the sides will never get cut. I would take your video to the city or whoever is responsible, show them the video and give them a bill for your work. If they would pay you, which I doubt, you could always donate the money to charity.
