When this customer's bother unexpectedly passed away, her sister was left with the almighty mess to deal with. And considering she lives in another state, that's when she called me. The brief was to clean up, mow, and remove everything, ready for a house sale. As you can see, this place is well neglected and has a lot of junk laying around. The customer said I could do whatever I needed to do to get the place back into shape. In the end, I decided to take all the useful, but old, stuff up to the tip shop (landfill reuse shop) and donate it all to them. They were pleased, and the customer was happy with the cleanup and result. All up, I spent around 13.5 hours on this job, with 5 trips to the recyclers and landfill (There was a lot of driving and sorting of useful stuff).

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. I don't have the right trailer for a ride on, considering I always take away the green waste.
2. I don't have anywhere to store it, as my shed is too small.
3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can't actually get a ride-on on to the properties.
4. I don't do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k AUD on a stander, but it would be nice to have one!
5. I will get one as soon as my transport and storage problems 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

    I watch a lot of yard makeovers. Some guys don't bag clippings, some guys don't trim trees and bushes, some guys don't have different channels for different speeds, some guys don't take stumps to ground level, some guys don't haul away green waste or fix things like fences and etc, but George, YOU DO IT ALL!!!! I LOVE your videos!!!
  • @kimburke575
    The orange plant is a Clivia. It comes in many shades from white, yellow, orange , red and all shades in between ☀️
  • @brianpyle3839
    Here in California, you’d need to contract two different businesses, one to do the landscaping and one to haul away all the trash and the donations. You did a good job there, George. 😇
  • @rexievanwinkle9978
    George, I love watching your videos especially seeing the finished product. If you ever decide to come to the States, especially Texas, I would look forward to put you to work in my yard so I could say "WOW". I still say you are very handsome!
  • @robertshrewsbury5067
    Enjoyed seeing the design reappear. You did a great job making it look pleasant. Plant may be Clivia, my grandfather had some in pots.
  • @darlalinn6216
    Great Job! I just love how you go the extra mile and nail a board and remove things that get in the way.
  • @markwhite5638
    That was a classic "kick-ass" clean up, George! Terrific job!

  • @terrywereb7639
    All those nice raised beds. Makes me wonder what happened to the gardener for the neglect to take over.
  • @lorischellenberg3219
