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 β€œtidy 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 πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

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 Australi

    It is so nice to see someone actually gardening, pulling weeds and not cutting the grass to the dirt. Knowing which plants to leave and not denuding the garden. Nicely done,

    You get the reward for the most meticulous yard guy ever! So detailed. You're worth whatever you charge. The fact you do this for these people in need for next to nothing makes you quite a blessing. Thank you!
  • It was good to see you hand weeding and taking such care in the garden. I’ve stopped watching gardeners who just go in and annihilate everything. It looked great when you finished! I’m sure the homeowner was thrilled! Great work! Look forward to seeing you next week! 😊❀
  • I love how you are prepared and willing to fix broken things in your customer's yards. Way above and beyond what most would do. Thank you!
  • @barnie7457
    I think that is how professional gardening should look like. Very impressive. There's no detail left behind.
  • @nemledda
    Thank you, George, for regularly uploading satisfying contents for us. You are the only one whose video on cleaning that I never fast forward nor skip some parts because it is very satisfying to watch the transformation. I love the way you tidy up the place and remove/arrange the clutter aside from mowing and trimming the plants. Your FREE service is as good as your paid projects. More power and all the best to more subscribers here in your QCV2 channel. I prefer this over the one with music.

    What I like about you is you're not afraid to get down on your knees to clean up the flower beds. Great detail!
  • Once I saw your yard transformations it has become impossible to watch other lawn care people. My favorite thing you do is haul away the junk and all the yard waste. Pristine. ❀️
  • George another fantastic job! I seen you; trim trees, remove trees, edge, mow, get rid of rubbish, power wash, and even repair stuff! You're the man!
  • I really like how you fix things that you don't have to, I'm sure the customers really appreciate it!!
  • @jeanyoung8874
