A follower from facebook contacted me to see if I could possibly have a look at her daughter's overgrown yard to see if I could help out with a free cleanup. Her daughter actually suffers from a debilitating disability, and is on disability pension. Not only that, she is a single mother who really struggles with her yard. Initially, I didn't think it was quite bad enough to do a makeover, but I decided to go ahead anyway just to help out, all for free. All up, this job took me around 11 hours to complete, including 3 trips to the landfill.

FAQ's:

Q: Where are you located?
A: I am from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 🦘.

Q: Do you worry about snakes?
A: I have never even seen a snake in over 5 years on the job.

Q: Which equipment do you use?
A: Mostly STIHL power equipment (battery and petrol) and commercial Honda self-propelled mowers.

Q: How much do the jobs cost?
A: Sorry, I prefer not to talk about costs.

Q: Why don't you use tarps instead of bins?
A: Tarps are too difficult to move through small spaces and lift into the trailer. The same for wheelbarrows, they are only good for unloading the trailer!

Q: Why are the hot water cylinders outside?
A: I would say it's because Australia had a temperate to tropical climate, and therefore it doesn't matter that much if they are outdoors. To me, though, it seems a bit inefficient to have them outside in Tasmania with a temperate climate (coldish for 3 - 4 months per year). But that is industry standard down here 🤷‍♂️

Q: Why don't you have help?
A: I've had many problems with employees in the past, so now I work alone.

Q: Why don't you have a ride-on mower?
A: Well, there are a few reasons.
1. I don't have the right trailer for a ride on, considering I always take away the green waste.
2. I don't have anywhere to store it, as my shed is too small.
3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can't actually get a ride-on on to the properties.
4. I don't do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k AUD on a stander, but it would be nice to have one!
5. I will get one as soon as my transport and storage problems are solved.

Q: What types of ladders do you use?
A: The large one is a Gorilla Adjustable Platform 150kg and the small one is a Gorilla Mighty 19. They are both adjustable.

Q: Who/what is Jim's Mowing?
A: Jim's Mowing is a franchise business. The Jim's Group is the biggest home services franchise in Australia.

Q: Why do you have 2 channels that seem to be the same?
A: Quick Cuts (my original channel) has music in the background. Quick Cuts V2 is for those that like just machine noise, and it doesn't have musi

    You always make these transformations as if you were the person living there! It’s called heart and soul! Thank you for sharing the makeover! ❤

    George-"The back yard is for the dog, it doesn't have to be perfect." Also George- works like a mad man on the back yard,till it's perfect...😉
  • @user-bt6kn2gn7f
    You might think it is not a big job, but it will mean the world to the disabled lady ❤
  • A viewer-satisfying makeover doesn't have to involve a jungle or a rubbish dump that's bigger than a previous episode. Watching your technique and knowing that your heart is exactly in the right place makes for a pleasing experience. As usual, you transformed the garden with compassion, respect, and empathy -- three of your finest tools that you expertly bring to every episode. Thank you, George.
  • I liked the black cat peeking out from behind the curtain! He would like to help, but he has little paws... Or maybe he was just monitoring the work, like an inspector? ))
  • You've given the dog much more room to play around! Well done as always.
  • Your workmanship and the pride you take in your work has never changed. You always give 100 per cent to each and every job you do, that's why I enjoy watching your videos. You're a legend George. Blessings to you and your family 🙏👏👏👏
  • So true that it don’t have to be a massiv overgrown yard. So nice of you for doing this job for the lady so her yard looks as good as her neighbors (but since it was you who did the job her yard is now the most perfect one). I truly enjoy watching your perfection in every single detail. Thank you!
  • @sharonhughes588
    I wonder if she had any idea of just how good her yard could look? The thing about you, George, is that you make the place look homey.....that is the best compliment I think you could get.....and it's the best.
  • @Michele_Williams
    Not only tidy, but pretty again. I appreciate your eye for aesthetics as well as creating a functional space. Worth the wait, and happy to see you get stuck in after your holiday 👏👍🙌🫶
  • @trishabanks942
    Please don’t think it has to be the worst lawn for you to video as you are an immaculate lawn care person. That’s what we enjoy that you do not leave one stone unturned. I enjoy it so much so satisfying all the way from North Carolina.❤️
  • "Backyard must not be perfect." But you always make everything perfect, George! ❤😊👏😘
  • @kyralaebredi1264
    It may have been a small job for you but a huge moral booster for the owner. I speak from experience that having the lawn mowed and bushes trims is a boost to your overall feeling of well being. Bless you for doing this work!
  • @Astrid-om6tg
    A „nice little cleanup“ 😆 For your fans a great job and a big favour for the lady ❤️
  • @Kate-gs6jp
    The attitude to work, the quality of George's work and the result are wonderful! It can be recommended as a master class.
  • @user-qp2ec2od3y
    Kindness in action George, and that is priceless! Thank you for helping this woman.
  • @annkoler3705
    It’s about time you took on a lawn that isn’t a mega-catastrophe. You are a hero.
  • @lynnjasen9727
    The before always looks much worse at the end, when we can see the after! Another very satisfying rehabilitation of an innocent yard. The only way I would find it more satisfying would be if I had done it myself. Also, you were a huge hit with the client’s cat, who spent time supervising both the front and the back yard work. So, two thumbs up from both me and the cat! 🇨🇦💕
  • @jodidavis6595
    I love your choice of music. It makes watching you work so much more peaceful. You always are so kind and giving to your community George. Great wrk as always.
