    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,

    I watch you doing yard restoration all the time. During meal time, relaxation and even during my workout. Lol I can’t stop. You do the best work I have ever seen. I’m so impress with your work ethic 😃. Thank you George. Btw I enjoy yard work too. We have a beautiful yard, in my opinion, and I do most of it 😂.

    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! 😊❤

    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.

    I don't know how you find all the "distressed" yards you deal with, George, but this one was an absolute peach! It had literally everything: tree trimming, garden bed weeding (by hand, no less ... yay, for you!), lawn mowing, whipper snipping, hedge trimming. It even had a garden hose to be untangled and neatly re-coiled (I just loved that bit). Not to mention all the pallets and stuff needing a new home at a recycling facility (heh ... or the landfill, eh?)! Talk about one heck of a satisfying yard restoration ... perfect along with breakfast on a lazy (for me) Saturday morning. Just one question for you: the small trees with the red fruit ... would those be pomegranates? Thank you so much for the terrific work that you do! 😊

    • @QCV2

      Hi Pat, thank you, ill need to get back to you on the red fruit. The owner did tell me, but I've forgotten, i will find out today. They are some type of exotic, but ill update later 🙂

    • @patkcalifornia924
      @patkcalifornia924 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you, George. What I’m finding is that Hobart and other Australian coastal cities have climates similar to that in San Francisco Bay Area. So if I see something in your videos that looks interesting, chances are that it might grow here as well.

    Awesome that the shrubs and trees weren't soo far gone... and you were able to weed or trim around them and then just shape them to look good!

The tree on the side of the house against the neighbor’s white wall is in a ridiculous location. Who plants a tree where there’s practically no walking room?

    I love that you fix things that you find broken. in this episode it was an edge of the garden bed but I've seen you repair gates and steps too. My Dad was like you, he'd be doing work at someone's house for his job but would run across something unrelated that would only take a few minutes to fix and he would do it. People who can't (or don't know how to) fix things really appreciate it when someone who does makes that little bit of extra effort to help them out. Most companies won't come out to do such little jobs since it isn't worth their time but it's still something that needs to get done. I think it's great that you make the effort ❤

    I was enjoying the process of refinding the yard when you hit the heavily overgrown back corner. That became massive ivy, Blackberry brambles.... You have been regaining space, form, design. Taking out the tree stump was a nice extra. This went from a Tidy-Up to a Restoration. You gave back the space and form. Thank you.

    You do an amazing job, I love the way you explain what you’re doing and the plants and trees you’re trimming! Again, thank you for the detailed work you do, I’m sure each homeowner appreciates the job you do! I’m from the states so it’s fun to watch people across the globe doing the same work we do here (I’m in Kentucky)
