Neglected Yard gets an Amazing Transformation | Overgrown Rescue

You won’t believe this remarkable yard transformation video. So I went around to this customer’s place to do a quote, and she basically asked me for a bit of a “tidy up” of her yard to get it looking ok for spring and summer. But when I saw the backyard, I then realised that it needed much more than a tidy up, it needed some major renovation. I did a quote, but as seems to be happening a lot lately, it was just a little too much for the customer. Once again, I offered her a deal that she couldn’t refuse – a discounted price for a full yard cleanup! The young lady in question is a busy school teacher and just hasn’t had the time over the winter to get out into her yard on the weekends, which is fair enough. That’s where I come in, I’m here to get it back into shape, and hopefully, she will have it all under control moving forward. I spent around 12 hours on this job, with over 2 trips to the landfill included.

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: What happened to Nick?
A: Nick was offered a full-time position at his other job as a Political admin.

Q: What happened to Brent?
A: Brent quit at the start of August 2022.

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 are you cutting so close to your employee!
A: I’m not cutting too close to my workers, they are standing too close to where I am working. All of my workers have been told numerous times about standing too close to the tools and about the hazards involved.

Q: Why do your workers do all the lifting and carrying?
A: Basically, they are employed to carry things and I pay them well, to do the job required.

Q: You work so well together, how do you do it?
A: That’s the magic of editing. My workers are basically given instructions on what to do, I just edit it all out, so the videos look seamless!

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. Currently, I don’t do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k on a good ride on mower.
2. I don’t have anywhere to store it.
3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can’t actually get a ride-on in there.
4. I don’t have the right trailer for a ride on, considering we always take the green waste away.
5. I will get one as soon as all of the above are solved.

Q: What happened to your workers?
A: Because the work is so hard and I expect high standards, most have quit over time. The only exception so far is Nick.

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.
