Thank you for not "hiding" the mental health conversation that you had between yourself and the homeowner (because you didn't have to include it). You have NO idea how many people you have helped just by leaving this part in. We NEED to normalize conversations about mental health and the impacts that it can have on a person's life. That way, others will see it and know that not only are they not alone, but that they are "normal." Thank you for also being open about your own mental health journey. You truly are an inspiration!!

So glad to see you Al and so glad you are doing well. I’ve been keeping you in my prayers. Love your videos, you are such an inspiration. God Bless you. ❤️

She seems like such a sweet lady. Even if you can't really see her face, you can hear the 1000 watt smile in her voice when she sees Al and starts talking with him. And just her concern and gratitude are so big.

Brother i have a small lawn business for 20 years now...ive been where your at 😢plz take care of yourself and have faith 🙏 in God...he helped me the most...your are an amazing person the beginning of your video really hit home with me it describes exactly where i was and how i felt..❤my hats off to you sir may god watch over you and your family.💪💪💪🙏♥️

Al is a true Ambassador of kindness and makes the World he is in a much better place 🎉

I love the fact that her daughter had fun in the yard already since he started the clean up.

Wow! That's incredibly well done Al. And then you say " thanks for letting me do it. " You are one amazing man. Thank you for bringing awareness to mental health and the available care that's available. Everyone could and should seek mental health care, even if you don't think you need it. In reality, I believe we can ALL benefit from it. 💞✌️😊

Mr blades, don't quit Honestly we need more Americans like you. The country will be better off So i pray for you and your Family May he give you strength.

I just wanted you to know that you have a whole community behind you. I admire that you speak about your struggles with mental health lately. I have been in a hole myself. I lost my 21 year old son Jordan 18 months ago. When you talked with this lady about having to stay busy, I got chills. I have to be going 100 mph all the time, or my grief hooks it's claws into me and takes me down-physically as well as mentally. I actually wondered if constantly going and going was a coping mechanism, or if it was an avoidance mechanism, and hearing you say that made me feel "normal" for the first time about it. My son had kidney disease, he was diagnosed at 9 years old. He fought SO hard to survive. He suffered a catastrophic stroke due to his kidney disease, the stroke took out his entire brain stem. He was the middle of my 5 kids, and we desperately miss him. We are all fighting and trying to be present for each other, but our family misses him so so much... Whenever I am having a particularly rough grief day (which feels a lot lately), I find hearts. Heart rocks, heart stains on the pavement, even have some pics of heart shaped drywall mud droplets (we are remodeling our rental 😂). When I clicked on your video and started watching, I was taken aback. At 1:10 the cloud behind you was a perfect heart ❤ Thank you for spreading your generosity, kindness and love. My husband and I own a landscaping and handyman service business, and I know how incredibly hard this work is that you do every day! You always do a beautiful job, and I can tell that you are a genuinely kind human being. ❤️‍🩹

Praying for you and your family 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

Being someone who has suffered anxiety and depression previously, I am so pleased to hear that you are aware of the symptoms of the condition and also of where your supports are….wishing you continued good health Al.

Al, that's truly a miracle that you performed on that overgrown property. I hope this gives the homeowner an opportunity now to maintain the yard (and drive away all the snakes). This is life-altering for this family, and a dream come true for her neighbors. Great job!

My grandmother routinely said: "You can always find somebody worse off than yourself". Al, you find those people and help them. God bless you and I hope you get the help you need.

You have increased the property value of that home immensely by that detailed clean up. It’s actually a nice looking home now. Good job!!

Al, to say you out did yourself would be selling you WAY TOO SHORT!! WOW! There was a whole entire NICE home hidden in a jungle of trees & shrubs. Not only do they have a whole entire front lawn, surrounding security shrubs & fence line again, but they can really get some juice from the sun on those solar panels. Bravo Al, you REALLY DID a terrific job on this one 🙌🏼❤️

What you do is amazing ----- But what you teach & share is even more valuable, than just the mowing. Your gift of generosity, your showing of appreciation just to be able to mow for them, your friendly, calm, kind mannerisms in dealing with people. Your attention to the small details like climbing vines, your respect for animal/bug life. And now discussing your mental health dealings --- brings it into the "average Joe" zone == helps others not to be timid or shy about discussing their issues (as their not alone). Your a walking, talking, helping aide. Well done young man. Take a bow, you've earned it. 👏👏👏👏💞💞💞🙏🙏

Al blaze, I am a 61 year old black man who is in a wheelchair and I’ve been watching your channel for quite some time on television. You are my favorite KZread star and I take care of my own yard from the.🧑🏽‍🦽 but I just wanted you to know that you are my hero in the world really much more people like you. You are truly a honorable man and I’m gonna keep on watching and keep on commenting.

"Do what you can, when you can" is a mantra that I taught myself over a decade ago, despite any Spiritual, Emotional or Physical setbacks there may be, you be you and don't overdo yourself. Keep it up Al, don't feel pressured by this, but you are setting a bar.

Al, thank you for sharing your mental health journey. Many of us who struggle with this are so grateful for you. What an amazing transformation in this yard. I'm so happy the homeowners were genuinely concerned about your well-being and so grateful for what you did to help them. Much love and many blessings, Al. 🌿🌳💚🌳🌿

Thank you for including this conversation in your video. So many people need to know they're not alone.

Another wonderful transformation. With the overgrown trees and bushes cut down by the house, the sun can now come in through all those windows brightening up the inside of the house.

Thank you for being open with your struggles and destigmatizing open discussion of mental health.

That has been one of the biggest jobs you've done, and the fact that the family was so incredibly grateful AND understand the struggle. This yard was very rewarding in so many ways! Great job, Al!! Loved this one!! ❤

I rescue and transport hurt animals in my spare time. There ARE ALWAYS ways to give back. Donating to the homeless, meals on wheels, soup kitchens, cleaning up a local park that might need trash picked up, etc. If everyone took the time to help others, then this world would be a nicer place. It also helps with depression and self worth. If you struggling, help someone in true need and you will get an emotional high from it. Promise 💜

You, the Boring Channel and S&B mowing have done and enormous amount of positive energy in people's lives that are not capable of the overgrowth that has overwhelmed and depressed them over the years. Now they can see clear of their future and have hope for their children as they play or swim in a once forgotten yard. Awesome amount of positive energy that you have created. I love how the equipment store supports your efforts and helps out. It's great to see how their products actually work in all kinds of crazy overgrowth.

Al, you are amazing!! I love how you’re so transparent about your mental health! By talking about it, you are helping others to understand and realize that getting help is so important! Your yard transformation is beyond words! Bless you!!❤❤❤❤❤

Would have love to see AP helping you out on this yard. Especially when it can get overwhelming sometimes when ya not feeling well. AP brings joy and laughter. Praying you are doing so much better AL🙏✨

Can I make a suggestion??? After clarifying that your service is completely free of charge, how about saying that you would welcome their company if it’s not too hot outside. Everybody likes to feel needed and this is especially true of the depressed.

I hope whatever animal or bird that was calling out survived ok. The racoon was sweet. Nice job Al.

Al, I really hope you never get rid of that chainsaw you have now. It is my favorite of the sounds your tools make. It helps my mental health to watch your videos and see order brought forth from chaos. Blessings to you and your family! 😇

Wow is all I can say! I’ve watched all the videos on this yard and what an incredible transformation!! God Bless you Al!

Haven't ng severe anxiety myself I understand how doing high labor jobs can relieve a lot of the emotion. Something about getting your hands dirty and being worn out just works better than therapy for me. Definitely having my dogs help and a continual string of projects

When a yard looks like that it's so stressful to the owner. It's looked at every day and the stress intensifies. You did more than cut down the yard, you helped them mentally. Now maybe they can get help maintaining it so it never gets like that again. What a great thing you did for them!

This world is so lucky to have a person like you. You keep up the good work, man, and keep on that sickness. Everybody has it. Most people don't talk about it .Send in love to you and your family, Al Stay strong, friend.💙💙💙

So glad you're feeling better. If you need a break not to worry we'll be here when you return. God bless you and your family.

What you are doing is such a blessing both the clean ups and more importantly talking about mental health. You are saving people Al.

I do a lot of gardening and working with animals myself. Helps the mental health. Hugs….. property is looking fantastic.

Thank You Al for being the man that you are. Always praying for you and family.

Even Kitty felt the anxiety from you two discussing what was going on, and had to come over to make sure you were both okay. See how kitty first rubbed her owners legs, then had a look up at your face? I'm glad you found such a good homeowner who understands what you're going through. This was a good video on a few levels.

Between the amazing yard transformation and you talking about your mental health this was your best video to date. I truly believe you openly discussing your mental health is a huge help, not just to you but others as well.

Al, you brought back civilization in that yard! It was so overgrown! 👍👍👍

What she says is true!! And it’s not just cuz you make over yards!! Please know that!!

I wish you could physically punch something, chop wood, cry, break something you dont need, loose your temper with anxiety, look at what you have and how you are loved. Everyone needs you. Your family wants you back. Come on Al... you got this.

Thank you for normalizing mental health. This transformation was INCREDIBLE! Now she and her family could have a small garden on one side of the house and cook outs on another side. Best of luck to everyone.

I just realized that she's using the door that you opened up for them, and the garage port! When you were there the first time, she had you use the side door. I loved the chat. Knowing you aren't alone in your feelings and thoughts. You're helping people with all kinds of things. So proud of you. I've suffered through some major issues, but never spoke about it to anyone outside my doctor's office. You have a way to help, just being yourself. We really care about you and your family.❤😊

Al you are so amazing! You transformed that jungle back into a yard that they can access and use! I thank God for you and your kindness,your resilience, and your love for others and the community. May God bless you and your family and all your endeavors.🎉❤

Keep being an amazing human being, Al. I've been there and know you're not alone. The shear dedication you've put into this property for those people speaks volumes to not only your commitment to your work but the passion you have for helping people in general. This was a massive project and, sir, you knocked it out of the park for sure!! Glad you're back!!!

Al,im so happy you are doing better. I get overwhelmed easily. I can only do baby steps. You do what's best for you. We all have some kind of crap we're dealing with. Much love to you. That yard is a huge transformation. Incredible ❤

Creating order out of chaos is a true gift and skill. Not everyone has the foresight, ability and will to do what you do for people. You have my respect, especially for being willing to be open about your mental health challenges. I wish you every good thing for yourself and your family .

Two suggestions. Business cards and yard signs for anyone grateful. Signs could be used for business, KZread or even donations to charities. God loves you brother. Stay strong.

I learned three things in this video. 1. Al is open with sharing his struggles with people and his followers, which will help others who are dealing with anxiety. 2. No matter how hard the work is, if you keep chipping away, something amazing will be the result. 3. I want a domesticated raccoon.

Wow! What a huge difference you made! Imagine the extra light inside the house with all those overgrown bushes being gone now! Fantastic job Al! That was a lot of work!

2 mins and already 200 people have clicked on this. Wow! That's so good bro!

There's a special place in paradise for this guy and people like him. Addicted to the magnificent obsession of helping others without comp.

This humble man that can share with people his weakness but he is willing to work on it we appreciate this Al Bladze

You seem much better. I pray you are taking care of yourself. You are a hero to many people.

Let's show Al some love remember to like and subscribe!😊❤️

Al, you are a BIG BLESSING😊

I am so glad that you were better. I love what you do. My son died December 11, 2023. I had to go through Christmas New Year’s and his birthday January 4 without him. Holidays suck start going back to church. I’m doing Bible study I’m doing counseling but, I am trusting God but I still think I deal with anxiety problems and now grief watching your videos in weird way help me because you were so awesome. God bless you thank you so much Al for showing there is recovery.

That was a beautiful conversation you had with the homeowner Mr. Al.

Garden Work is a good therapy. Being in the Garden and Look after some Plants is my time to calm down from Work.

We love you too Al! My hubby and I thoroughly enjoy watching your channel together!! Thank you for all you do for others. Praying you know how much you're loved!!❤❤❤

I cant believe what a transformation you did to that property!! Omg you are an amazing American sir!! 😃

Glad you're feeling better and moving forward!!! You have made this family so happy!! Keep taking care of yourself and remember that you are not alone in your struggle!! Good on you to be upfront about what is hurting you and working to make it better!!! Just doing that helps others more than you know!!! Take care Al!!! Sending all good things from Ohio!!❤🎉😊

Same Same Al. Same Same. Eat clean, exercise, stay busy. Keys to life.

Love seeing Al back in action. You have the BIGGEST heart ❤!

What a lovely person. She was really concerned for you. Take it easy Al. X x x

This lady is only one example of the people who do know and care how your doing. I am glad you’re taking care of your physical health as well as the mental health aspects, and I know how hard it is to admit you need help and reach out to find that help. I suffer from major depression and abandonment issues, so trusting another person is difficult for me and the other person. I have tried therapy and counseling, but again those pesky trust issues doesn’t allow me to open fully to another. The only way I fight depression is to focus on the positivity around me and not pay too much attention to the takers who make everyone feel bad. Also, walking and talking with my dogs is a major help because they know exactly what I am going thought and they just do their darnedest to bring my joy everyday. Keep fighting and know you’re not alone. We all have been damaged by others and the pandemic. I love your channel

Keep on trying. Don’t give up. Keep on doing the great work you do to help the community

It's a totally new world for the home owner. They can actually see the rest of the world, GREAT JOB AL..............................................

Al, you did a wonderful, beautiful transformation on this property. They were truly blessed to have you. I have dealt with issues my whole 70 years of my life. The last 15 years I find a lot of peace mowing my own property every few days here in Wisconsin for up to 3 hours each time, but I am sooo calm when I am done. Keep on doing your thing!

Al I completely understand when you said it feels like something is over you. May God continue to bless you and your beautiful family 🤗

You are a kind-hearted person refreshing to see.

I’m just going to say that what you add to people’s lives by virtue of your generosity cannot be measured enough. Even to those watching your videos come away with knowing we all can have an impact. Well done on the transformation of the yard and well done to you for opening doors to meaningful conversations.

You are amazing, God bless U and family❤😊🥰😘🤗🙏🏻

So glad you're doing better Al. Amazing job as always. And to the homeowner, you're a blessing to be so thankful and understanding. I hope your mental health journey is doing well too! God bless us all who live with these mental health struggles🙏🏽

We are glad to have you back, Al! Gladyour taking care of yourself. You did a wonderful jobon this yard.

Watching your videos helps me a lot, I suffer from Anxiety with Depression and also now being assessed for ADHD and Autism, but watching your videos helps a lot, your an amazing guy and you do amazing things for complete strangers. Keep up the amazing work and keep pushing forward, poor mental health is a horrid thing but we can get through anything if we truly want it enough.

Bringing mental health out in the open is a very good thing. I suffer from depression, which to me, is a shotgun word. It covers a lot of different things. My depression isn't the sad type of thing, mine manifests in anger. I would get ticked off at the smallest stuff. I finally went in and got it all dialed in. I'm not perfect, but I'm functioning a lot better than before. So many people suffer from depression, anxiety, you name it. There's help out there and there's no shame is seeking help. And be honest with your health care provider. Give them things they can work with, to help diagnose what's going on. Good luck to you Al, and to the lady whose yard you're fixing up!

Hi Al. Welcome back. We've missed you. God Bless.

Great job Al. It looks so much better. You are a real blessing to the people you help AND to us who watch. We love you man...

Much respect to you! And many thanks.

We love you AL!

Thank you Al for the beginning of this video. Your discussion with the lovely homeowner was so important. You made an incredible difference to this yard. Thank you for your honesty about your mental health problems. Much love to you and your family 👪❤️

The family is going to have so much light coming in their home now .

What a sweet woman! There's times where you think no one cares and you and all your troubles are invisible. This just goes to show everyone, there are people who care that you don't even know. I knew you were returning. At the end of your last video, you said you were coming back to finish. You are truly blessed Al. ❤🙏🙂

Oh man you deserve a great life.

Chin up and chest out Al. You've got this!

Absolutely Wonderful Sharing about what you went through. I agree that you just need to talk it out. You KEEP TAKING CARE of you AL. Be Kind for yourself and KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! This yard was a BIG 3 week JOB but YOU DID IT and Did it Great!!!

Thank you, Al, for talking about your path from anxiety-ridden to healthy mindset. I need to hear about the small steps one must take to chip away at the anxiety and depression. The more we sit in silence, not acting or moving, the worse we feel. It IS overwhelming to face the challenges, but we MUST take at least small steps to overcome it. Thank you again! You’re doing a great service to humanity just by living your life the way you do!

Glad you are doing ok glad you are back doing what you love

Please let someone help you with these large restoration projects. It’s overwhelming just watching you go through this amount of work and dedication.
