Gardening is one of those time-consuming jobs which can often get the better of us. If left unattended, your garden space could start to get difficult to maintain.
Your lawn could turn ‘rusty orange’, while that lavender of yours might get bushy fast if you don’t act immediately. Now one man has been praised online for his incredible selfless gesture.
Landscaper Mark Marshall often shares his remarkable transformations with 1.4million followers on TikTok. Recently, he nearly made a woman break down in tears after unveiling his work which he put a lot of energy in to.
The video begins with a countdown from the number three where a woman is taken out to her garden space with her eyes closed. Seconds later, she opens her eyes and exclaims: “Omg.”
Then the clip shows the incredible transformation where “hero” Mark was praised for his job – and he even offered the work for no fee at all.
It shows the workers’ kicking off their task by digging the ground and removing the woman’s grass before turning their attention to the shed at the back of the outdoor space.
More digging is done before a white sheet covers the entire garden, while gravel and cement is then laid down. The men start laying bricks around the garden, along with a concrete floor.
There’s a wooden frame which is placed at the back of the garden before being painted black. Plants are added to an area of the outdoor space, while fairy lights are hung up on the pergola which was built from scratch.
And finally, the last touches begin. The grass is laid down while batteries in the lights are added before the furniture is placed into position.
The final shot shows the incredible garden space with a gorgeous lawn and plush seating area which was a far cry from what the area looked like at the beginning.
Since it was shared, the video garnered 76,200 likes and nearly 1,000 comments. One said: “I love the stone, well done.”
Another added: “Watching your transformation gives me hope that maybe I’ll start my own transformation one day!”
A third gushed: “The transformation is unbelievable! Well done guys! It took us ages to save up and have our garden revamped, cost us thousands, the bloke worked hard and did an OK job.
“Sadly within a few years, the flags are loose and all the points are breaking up, not good and becoming a bit of a trip hazard.”
The person added: “Need a team like you to put it right some day!”
A fourth commented: “I love how unique each garden is.”
