This yard tells a story. The owner had tried everything and eventually gave up. She poisoned the entire lawn because she just couldn’t deal with it anymore.
In this Free Mow Friday, we tackle a tough one. The grass is dead. The weeds are thick. But there’s more going on here than just an overgrown yard.
Watch the full transformation as we try to bring this space back to life.

Hi! My name is Tim The Lawnmower Man and I love to clean up overgrown yards and make fun videos doing it. I’m able to do them for free as these videos have ads on them and the revenue from that enables me to cover my cost.
I’m always looking for the worst yards around. Sometimes I drive around looking for them, sometimes viewers send me suggestions.

So, I poisoned everything. I can tell I can tell the the brown is the bit of the [Music] [Applause] giveaway. The lady’s done the uh chemical mowing. We are not able to move this car. She’s not too fussed about it, but we’ll be as careful as we can. Oh, that’s going to be a bit messy there. [Music] Welcome back to Freo Fridays, where we turn wild yards into something a little less terrifying. If you’re new here, Freo Fridays is where we clean up seriously overgrown lawns completely free of charge. All made possible by the people who watch and share these videos. So, thank you for watching. This one actually was suggested by a neighbor who is a subscriber or a viewer of the channel. I always love when a local throws a yard our way. The lady who lives here is a little bit camera shy and that’s totally fine. I never want anyone on camera if they’re not 100% comfortable. I didn’t actually ask what happened or why the yard got like this. I just said we’d take care of it. There’s another unmovable car to mow around this week. And of course, because the universe has a sense of humor, a couple of wasp nests in the garden for good measure. So grab a snack, chuck your feet up, and watch me square up to a wasp gang, tango around a prehistoric car, and somehow turn this backyard catastrophe into a suburban miracle. Hello. Hi. How are you? Have you heard of Freo Fridays? No. My name’s Tim. I clean up overgrown lawns um at no charge. All right. I’m sure there’s a catch. No, the I just make videos of the cleanups. People find them satisfying to watch. That’s the catch. That’s all it is. Oh, okay. Yeah. So, we go around looking for um Yeah. lawns like this that need a bit of attention. We clean it up, do all the edges, make it all look nice and pretty. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I think your cat wants to come out. Um what’s the backyard like? I don’t have any grass in the backyard. No grass in the back. So, it’s just the front. Okay. All right. Yeah, we can get this tidied up for you in probably a couple hours. It’s not too bad for us, actually. We normally do worse. Okay. Yeah. So, I poisoned everything. I can tell. I can tell the the brown is the bit of the giveaway. But yeah, just as long you can fill up the bins with the grass. Oh, we take the grass as well. You don’t even need to worry about that. All right. Yeah. Only thing I would ask is that your car or would you be able to move it on the street just so we don’t I don’t want to whip a snip and get stuff all over your car or So, you’re going to do that now. Is that all right? Yeah. And the other car, I’m assuming, doesn’t move or Yeah, that doesn’t move. Okay. So, but you don’t It doesn’t matter what happens. I don’t care what happens. We’re going to be very careful, but um No, it’s fine. Yeah, no worries. All right. All right. So, we have a little uh front yard here. No grass out the back. So, this is the whole yard. This nature strip needs a bit of tidying. We’re going to edge that up nicely. Reveal this path. The lady’s done the uh chemical mowing. You can tell by the color. We are not able to move this car. So, we’re going to She’s not too fussed about it, but we’ll be as careful as we can. Oh, that’s going to be a bit messy there. That’s probably going to be the hardest bit. That side there. It’s going to look pretty different pretty quickly. This is Freo Fridays. We go and knock on random doors, try and find overgrown lawns that need a cleanup. Sometimes we get a lot of suggestions, too. This is one of those. And I was very nervous coming here because I like to check out these places before we start, but didn’t get an opportunity with this one. So, came in blind. Found out when we got here there’s no actual backyard. If they’re nasty out the front, they’re normally even worse out the back. But only a front yard here. One of the neighbors sent me this one as a suggestion. They are a follower of the channel. So, I do appreciate you guys when you do send me suggestions. Does save me a lot of time. Now, the reason I can do this is cuz you guys watch these videos. The lady asked what was the catch. That’s the catch. So, been doing it for 4 years and it’s been working out okay. Wouldn’t be able to do it though without your support. So, if you are new here, maybe consider subscribing to the channel cuz that’s definitely what helps make this happen.

He’s doing all right. I gave him a bit of a challenge to start with because grass here or weed, whatever you want to call it, it’s so clumpy. So trying to get through it on these edges here can be a little bit tricky, which I will tidy up with the wine trim when I’m finished. But just getting through [Music] it. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat.

What [Applause] do you populate the stuff growing through that is some sort of weed that we um there’s only so much green waste we could take with the trailer and all the gear. So, uh we’re going to do what we can with it, but uh if I lived here personally, I’d be cutting that stuff out and trying to reshape that. But, uh we’ll just make it look tidier. That’s what we’re here for. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] Yes. Ah, well, yeah, you went here when we found it at the start. So, that’s something we always have to be mindful of. hose and gas. Generally, it’s just the water, but they’re always hiding on the property line somewhere. Yeah, we try and uh identify it and cut it out beforeh. All right, I’ll get you guys mowing.

Thanks to Managed Waste Service and Northwest Recycling Center. We are done for another Freeway Fridays. Uh that wasn’t as satisfying as I’d like. I hope you guys enjoyed watching it. That bush was a bit of a onion, as we call it, on the channel. Each layer you peel back, it just got worse and worse. The boys worked very hard. So, very appreciative of their efforts as always. The car though, the car can get out if it if it could drive. I’m sure some people will be asking why we didn’t move it. Um, it doesn’t go and I don’t think she’s got the keys. And the lady’s not currently here. She did go out. So, I’m sure she would be extremely thankful for our effort. Looks much tidier than when we got here. And that’s kind of what we do. We’re not landscaping. We’re just trying to make it look tidy, get it in order. Jaden had a crack at the blade edger. Was good. Um, yeah, it was good to let them sort of go with this section. Obviously, I had to come and tell him what I needed. uh the more that they can do, the more I can just set up a camera for them and do a section and then I can go go and do my own thing. So, thank you guys for watching. Really do appreciate it. Please consider subscribing cuz it’s the best way to support the channel. We have so much coming up. And like I said at the start, if you like tools, equipment, projects, check out my other channel, Turf and Tools. It’s not as dirty as this. It’s trying new equipment and uh all the projects I do at my place. So, until next time, see you later. [Music] [Music]

Nice job.
Your the best you guys so thoughtful 😊
Wow🎉
I tell you, you are very respectful individual, plus all that your crew is very well trained. You guys work hard.. Much props good video.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You have a lot of patience and it’s great you’re teaching them how to. I think the tree/bush looked pretty good. I enjoy the reveal music at the end.
Wow that was a lot of grass, it really did not look like that much. Greg did a job as usual. I'm glad you can help this person. She really needed you. And many others to come 🚜
Harvest time😅
looks great!!! carry on.
New subscriber I am glad to see you all are wearing respirators breathing that chemical killer on the grass is deadly. Thank you for taking it away and not just blowing it on the yard and neighbors yards
Thank you for providing a service to people who for unknown reasons get behind in the care of their properties.
Welll done again
Mental, care for the environment. Its God world and He created.
Why put all that poison into the land..Neighbours need to help neighbours and help each other out.
Looks so much better guys 😎👍🏼👌🏼
There are so many judgmental people in the comments 😒 Kindness and understanding is free. It feels like the ones who judge are also the ones who wouldn't bother to offer a helping hand to a neighbour in need.
Tim and team, you all did an amazing job as always.
Chemical mowing is a managent idea when buying a😢 mower, or paying for a lawn service isnt in the budget.
Great job fellas 👍✌️
I wonder why she poisoned it? Cry for help or maybe she just doesn’t like green or grass. I had an aunt who completely cemented her front lawn 😮 and she loved it. She painted it green. 🤷♀️BUT You, Greg and Jayden did an amazing job with what you had to work with. I wonder if it will ever grow back ?🤔? Hats off to you! 🤗 ~Becka
Détruire l’herbe chimiquement est complètement stupide,déjà ce n’est pas beau en plus quand cest sec,il y’a un risque d’incendie…
Cette voix robotisée en français dit n’importe quoi et qui ne veut rien dire dire 😢
Hello Tim, I love you your videos and enjoy, Blessings from 🇲🇽
Nice job!
it's better not to have someone to help. if ever, never noemalize the speed of the video. i'm sure viewers will get irritated. stay healthy. God bless
Good job.
I’m lowkey sad — I kinda liked the jungle vibe 😅
The bushes directly in front of home should have been removed but other than that ❤ & I'm sure that there is grass in the back yard that she doesn't care about either 😮
job well done 👍💯👍Look forward to part 2.
"Wow, what a powerful and emotional title. It really makes you think about the challenges people face with maintaining their spaces — sometimes giving up feels like the only option. Curious to see what led to that moment!"
Why do people use mowers without bag collection? Then have to pick the waste up by hand?‽?
Well done on this small 1/2 backyard Tim, Gregg & Jaden.
You need to get a real leaf blower instead of that kids toy
I love, love, love that no trees were cut down. Kinda wished you'd "painted " it for the lady. Was it you, who did that once in a while?❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
Such an improvement!
Chemical mowing 🤣 I had a neighbour who liked the fire mowing, yep he would set fire to the grass (and our fence), the lawn was so small he could have just used scissors
The 3 amigos!
poor woman well done amazing job
Alrighty then!! What a huge difference. I totally related to the homeowner's frustration and surrender to her yard. I'm sure you've restored some sort of relief and taken a load off her shoulders. You guys always do such a great job – going above and beyond. Thanks for being you!!
I don't know what the owner has said at the end, but, at the begining, just" okey" not even a "thank you "! You've done a great job!
