Приєднався 14 бер 2014
Hello. My name is Scott and I live in Columbia, South Carolina. I am a small business owner, father and husband. I want to give advise to others trying to start their own lawn business by uploading tips and other valuable information. Throughout my career, I have gained a wealth of knowledge and insights that I am eager to share with you. In my free time, I enjoy going to church and working on cars and I am always looking for new ways to challenge myself and learn new things. I hope that my content will be informative, engaging, and helpful to you in your own personal and professional endeavors. Also I want to give back by going out into the community and providing free service to those in need. Whether we are cutting back overgrown yards or clearing road hazards we want to use our business to help those in need. Thank you for joining me on this journey!

From Neglect to Beauty // Reviving a Yard for an Elderly Couple's Peace of Mind (Transformation)
Hey there, UA-cam friends! It's been a while since my last upload, but I'm back with an exciting video to share with all of you. I took some time off during the holidays to relax and spend quality time with my family. In our industry, winter is the perfect time to recharge and take a break. However, it seems like we're staying busy year-round these days.
Now, let me tell you about this incredible experience that I want to share with you today. I had already started working on cleaning up an empty eyesore in my neighborhood when I received a call from a subscriber in Georgia. He shared the story of his sister's house and yard, which were in desperate need of our services. When he mentioned that she had been tirelessly caring for her 102-year-old mother, I knew I had to help them out. I was really hoping it would be a good fit for our team because sometimes things don't work out for various reasons. But this job was going to be special.
When we met, I could immediately sense the love and care this woman had for her mother, and her husband's determination to restore the yard to its former glory. They couldn't stop apologizing for the condition it was in, as they took great pride in keeping it beautiful not only for themselves but also for their neighbors. I reassured them that the state of the yard was understandable after dedicating three years to caring for a sick mother. I wanted to make sure their expectations were met, so we had a great conversation while walking the yard.
They were amazed that I was going to do all this work for free. The project itself took around six weeks to complete, not including the additional two weeks of editing and video work. During this time, I took breaks and focused on my regular customers and leaf clean-ups. What made this job different was the amount of debris we had to deal with. We found old chairs, buckets, wires, boxes, sticks, and various other items that needed to be hauled away. Luckily, I have a recycling facility where most of the debris can be disposed of properly. However, some items can be quite expensive to get rid of. In total, we ended up hauling off eight trailers full of debris. This project had the most yard debris compared to any other job I've done so far. I had hours and hours of footage capturing us loading stuff into the trailers, but I had to condense it significantly. The initial footage was around 23 hours long, which I edited down to about 3 hours at a mostly 6x speed, and finally cut to under 1 hour. It's worth mentioning that I still edit all my videos on my phone, which can be a bit challenging at times. But I plan on investing in a better computer for editing this year. It's astonishing how much space these videos can take up!
Alright, enough of my rambling. Sit back, relax, and join me for a few minutes as we help this incredible couple out!

Located just outside the heart of downtown Columbia, South Carolina, this property caught my attention on a day when I was actively seeking opportunities to lend a helping hand and restore neglected overgrown yards. It was in dire need of a complete transformation and clean up! Nestled on a corner lot, the front of the property had years of fallen leaves, tightly compacted and full of thick tho...

Rescuing an 87-Year-Old from a Code Enforcement Fine: A Backyard Transformation! This cleanup mission was suggested to me by a code enforcement officer I had met while working on another overgrown yard. The homeowner, an 87-year-old lady originally from Germany, was struggling to maintain the large bushes and vines that had taken over the borders of her property. At her age, it's understandably...
Transforming a Yard: Helping a Disabled Elderly Lady

Wow. This clean up was by far the most work I’ve done for one of these UA-cam videos. Also one of the most rewarding and emotional at times as well. The house has several other issues with the roof and wood siding that needs attention. These issues definitely need to be addressed and I feel good knowing that at the very least we helped by getting the trees off the house edges and the roof. By c...

I found this yard in one of my regular neighborhoods that I service. I am always looking for potential yards/people to help and just had to investigate this one. I could barely see the house from the road. I was surprised to see the house in such an overgrown state because the neighborhood has an HOA. Normally they will make even a bank owned home keep the yard up. So I went and found out that ...
Nature overtakes yard//vines swallow house. Before and after clean up for free!! #overgrown
Переглядів 369 тис.11 місяців тому
Hey. I am always looking for yards that need some help. I saw this house several times and realized someone was living there. It’s always better to clean up a yard for someone who needs it rather than just cleaning an abandoned lot. I spoke to the homeowner and found out he had a few medical issues that prevented him from keeping up with the yard. Once the yard gets out of control it’s hard to ...
Preview of super/crazy overgrown yard!!
Переглядів 2 тис.11 місяців тому
This is a yard that is super crazy overgrown. You cannot walk to the backyard thru the side due to the overgrown weeds blocking your path. There are piles of old bush clippings and kudzu vines all on the ground. Vines are covering the side and back of the house. The gutters are full of debris with plants growing from them. But that’s ok because we are going to completely clean it up for free. I...

Hey I spotted this overgrown corner lot on my usual work route in downtown Columbia, SC. Corner lots always stand out and I just had to get this yard back to looking beautiful. Some of the homes in this area approach a million dollars. I spent about two separate days working at this property. I did speak to the neighbors and they believe the property is for sale and possibly pending sale. I che...

I was working on another property when I was approached by a older lady. She wanted a price to just remove debris from a small old fish pond and remove invading bamboo. I told her we could clean up the entire backyard if she could wait till the afternoon. I didn’t expect to film this video but I thought the transformation was impressive. Thanks for watching!

After we were done he really c...

Omg that bet yard mate in Australia. Beautiful ❤
Use D2 to clean the stones,no medal scraper plastic only.the cradle grave put plastic on the bottom and marbel stones in the center low maintenance. Over all nice job 👏👏
Great video !!
Amazing work
You gave a wonderful view of the u ca c the bk beautiful seems like u could not even get bk there
Just wonderful luv how u tackle the trees.luvly job keep it up good machinery. You r a bleeding to him and everyone else
God loves those that have this kind of respect for the dead. Wish there were more people like you in this world
Cities should be compensating you guys who do this out of the kindness of your hearts.
Amazing work
What a job you did on this property! I’m amazed at the difference! You did such a good deed helping this couple. If you hadn’t of helped them, I don’t know what they would have done. You are a good man!
So nice that you are not one of those lawn care people that chops down every tree, shrub and flower and leaves the house sticking out like a sore thumb with every fault clearly visible and the only thing that attracts attention! This house looks great now, the bad roof not noticeable on the video.❤
I have watched a LOT of yard transformations! This one was a huge project! Awesome job!
That was amazing! Nice work❤
Water stone - D2 Biologic (approved by the National Cemetery Association) soft bristle brush (preferably plant based) scrub -- rinse -- repeat as necessary. I typically will spray on a coat of Wet it and Forget it (approved by the NCA) when I leave as it continues to work with each rain. Great that you would do this.
Thank you for your kindness.The cementery looks beautiful.Would love to see someone come & reset the stones that are tipping & sinking into the ground
That is a beautiful house. It's a shame nobody lives in it. Wish I and the woman I am caretaker of could live in one like that, but those kind of houses are out of our range and there are not any like that here.
That is what you call a nightmare. No neighbors to help either. Did they not care about their neighborhood looking bad?
Are you telling them you are making a video to post on youtube for $$?
What a jungle! Good job. Looks like you need a bigger chain saw.
Wow! Awesome!
What a hard worker you are. First video I’ve seen of yours and I am very impressed! Great job! A very nice surprise for this man with health issues. Everything you did was awesome! 👏👏
YOU AND BLESSINGBROTHERS say at times they cannot contact the owner of property. BUT, IT WILL MAKE A GREAT VIDEO TO POST ON UA-cam! YES THEY CAN FIND OUT WHO OWNS A PROPERTY-THEY DON'T WANT TO! Fellas, you go to the county courthouse...with the address and ask for an infomration sheet on the property! YOU ARE GREEDY "GRIFTING" MONEY GRUBBERS.
A tough good job!
What a turn around. You guys do awesome work. Cant wait to see the next one.
You did an excellent job. You worked fast . You definitely did a restoration job all around. Job well done!
Wow great job
There shouldn’t be any bushes or trees close to the house the root will work into the underground plumbing
You are such a hard working person with a great heart. Thank you for helping her with that nightmare of a yard. May God bless you and your family.
When you clean up a yard you get right with it nothing stops you great job
Great job 👍
Excellent job
Wow! Just wow... Also helping with the flashing, the gutters, the roof... Such an wonderful thing you did. You can tell from all of that underneath that a person who once lived there cared about the gardening. Each layer you took down we got see planters, top soil, potting materials... I bet it looked nice at one point, so did the deck.
HEY SCOTT THAT PLACE LOOKS LIKE A DAMN JUNGLE

Great job, my brother! This is an amazing transformation. 👍🏾🤗
Amazing effort.
New Subscriber here. Just a Suggestion but why don't you consider wearing something over your nose& mouth plus eye protection others in your field so.think about it ok? Nice work too.Thank You
God bless you for what you do!
I hate thieves and vandals aren’t any better. Jerks don’t need to break the cupboard doors off when they are stealing stuff. That’s just putting them on another level of the low life scale.
Im a newbie a first timer watching your videos and i couldn't believe i caught the first worse yard ever 🙃 this dang yard was unbelievable😳terrible 😢 my heart cries out for this lady "QUESTION" where were her kid's before it got this bad ? But now saying that they will help out now 😉 i couldn't believe what i was seeing with my eyes 👀 I thank God for people like you 🙏 ❤who have a heart ❤️ of love and kindness. Thank you, sir. for lending hands , feet , legs, your mind, body, and soul, i pray blessings 🙌 🙏 upon you 🙏 ❤
What a great job. God bless🙏
This job needed one of those monster ride mowers that crush and mulch. Way too much for one person manually with hand held tools
Huge job accomplished. God bless 🙏
You did a heck of a great job 👏🏽
