Who Are You?
I’m a part time mower guy from Sydney, Australia and I enjoy making videos of yard transformations.
Why do you do...?
I haven’t been doing this forever and I don’t profess to know everything.
Happy to hear alternate methods and efficient ways of doing things.
I'll never understand folks using their yards to dump rubbish. It makes no sense. Good job guys.
Overwhelmed homeowner? If even some of the rubbish could be removed… great job & effort!!!
You two are fantastic! The fact that you both persevered with smiles on your faces means as much as the mowing job! I don’t think a dethatcher could even handle it! And, no snakes or deceased wildlife…
What an amazing undertaking! Such hard work and I'm so glad to see your mate helping out.
Great to see Carthic assisting you today! As per usual a good clean up ( halfway there) . Love your vids.🤗🇦🇺
The whole yard needs cleaning out & taken to the tip. You did a great job. Very hard work
Pity the rubbish wasn't removed for you before you started. Great job guys. This is a tough one for sure !
That’s about a 4 part job, and that’s to just get it under control 😮💪🏼😱
Tim, you and your mates are amazing!!!!
One word to describe this yard: INSANE! Thanks for sharing the video Tim. I’m looking forward to seeing the next video. Well done so far guys.
What a pig pen area.... debris, trash, old laundry sturne about...yikes it's a daunting task indeed..indeed..... get rid of all that garbage junk...... obviously home owner isn't using any of it....snake pit centeral...oh my word..... but you both did a fabulous job on its tidy up... hopefully owner will keep you coming back and paying you going forward.... I can't imagine the interior of house now, I'm shaking my head...ughhhh
I'm surprised your city council didn't fine her for its unsightly condition. It was beyond A LITTLE BIT OVER GROWN....
Both of you guys worked on the yard together and folks are Blessed
When I saw it was Carthic that was going to help, I did not know how he would do since he is used to manicuring lawns and that is not even close tp an option with the awns you do on here, but he was a champ. I would hate to see the inside of the house after seeing the outside (glimpses thru doors seems to indicate that it is just as bad - if not worse - inside). You are brave men to take that on.
Great to see Carthic assisting you today! As per usual a good clean up (halfway there). Can’t help but think, aren’t there any free waste removal businesses who want some publicity and who could remove waste such as in the yard of this house? If you can do it once a week there must be someone who can remove waste! Things can get out of hand for the elderly, disabled or ill people. Shout out to local waste removal business to help! 🤗🇦🇺
The homeowners needs to get all that trash out of his yard nd help them with either the cutting or the cleaning. U young man do an excellent job at transforming that yard into a beauty. Keep up the good work nd GOD will always bless those helping others.
Just a point if you had life difficulties it's the worst thing to say to anyone "You need to, this or that ".
Try to practice some gratitude for what you have and some compassion for humanity.

Loved the intro. Carthics yard needing a mow? 🤣 Was awesome for him to help you again. Loved the collab! You two did a super job taming the yard beast. Well done!!! **edit** Tim, why is kiuku grass so popular if it's so wretched like that? Those runners are insane. Surprised that Buffalo or Rye isn't used more often. Kiuku just seems like such a bad choice for a lawn. 🤔🤷♀️
It’s a hardy lawn and looks good when kept short and is drought tolerant, having said that, I hate the stuff
@@debrapotts2685 thanks for the explanation. 😊👍
If builders are using kikuyu to finish new builds then not only the good properties of the plant but also is prolly cheaper to use, thus not cutting into bottom line of build profits?
very popular in South Africa, especially in the northern summer rainfall regions. soft and pleasant to play on. but must be maintained
Hahaha! I thought Carthics was going to pour the petrol on that horrible grass & light it up! That stuff should be outlawed within the city limits. It's a nightmare 😫. I have a friend in the USA that used it on a steep hillside to help with erosion. It worked for that application. But NOT for a lawn. That's crazy.
You two guys are heaven sent thanks for all that you do for people nice transformation job Tim and charthy
Just wow! I have to credit both of you for giving it your all. I see a storage shed there too. No telling what's hiding in there. There's a snowman and Santa Claus in the window watching you lol. Looking forward to the next episode!
After watching a lot of your videos, I am wondering what the inside of those homes are like. Have you ever been inside one of the homes of the yards you've done? Is it as bad inside as it is outside?
nice to find people who care about a lawn like you do.
The length of the runners is insane! It looks like it wove itself together as it grew.
This might be a stupid question but wouldn’t it be easier to move all the debris in her yard out of the way??
By the way you do awesome work!!
Maybe next time someone can get a huge dumpster or bin and clean up all the gunk and trash in the yard and make it up look better. You guys always do a great job.
Good morning Mates..not to seat in judgement...BUT could they at least throw the trash out?
I think kikuyu grass must have been ivy in a previous life! 😄
Great effort and result! Amazing what you have done so far. Glad you have Carthic working with you!
Part 1

Check Out Carthic's Instagram instagram.com/obsessivelawnie/?hl=en
Please someone get a dumpster in there to take away the non-green waste! Your good work will not be complete if that stuff stays. Great job, Tim and Carthik!
Just think of all the bugs, snakes, and rodents living in those piles.....
@@saragreen4578 definitely not Green with envy over this yard. it's taken me about 2 years to get my disorganised yard back to something I'm now more proud of and it's the support from my new husband that keeps me going with the improvements.
You guys might have stood a chance if the rubbish had been removed first. Excellent effort as always 👏
the owners new he was there ? they should of got off there asse and moved it lol
@@lskilling1 Go back and see part 1, that'll give you some perspective and answers 👍
Wow, that was surely a mess! The grass is almost like ivy vines if unmowed. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Sorry, but I would have noped out on that one after seeing all that rubbish piled about. It will look like that again in no time I suspect.
Sometimes, you gotta mow a path and a workspace just to clear the junk out, before you can properly tackle the foliage~
Love it! You ask him if he wants a lawn makeover but he has the best lawn I’ve ever seen. Glad you got him to come back on a video with ya. Great job guys.
Hopefully the family can arrange a skip to remove all the rubbish when you have unearthed it.. great job!!
That yard must do Carthic's mind in. His lawn is like artificial turf but alive and you bring him here to just blow his mind. Fab job🎉 Same time next week?
You guys could use a drum flail mower or a scarifier/dethatcher to chop up those runners.
This is the first time I really got to see how thick the grass gets from the long running grass. Looks like layered grass from what I see. Heavy going. Good job
the start was hilarious. I loved Carthic's reaction "wtf's wrong with you......." lol great job.
Swamp grass is what that is. It's a real bugger to get rid of also. I literally hand dug it out of an area of my yard because it was taking over the normal grass. You really got your hands full with that type of grass. Good to see you invited a play mate to help this woman with her jungle.
Uh oh, starting to get a glimpse of the back! You guys are doing superhero work!
You're right. That's a real jungle. Wouldn't small animals be living in that? Amazing job guys!
I'm glad your detail-minded friend was willing to come help. Already you are refinding landscaping features. ( Have been watching the "runner" problem for a while. So far, what might help would possibly be "dethatching machines", which seem to work by using a bunch of small blades/knives to cut things up. Maybe some are available for rental, once basic mowing height is re-established.) With the front bed dimensions re-appearing, along the house, I was comparing the shrub diameter...they sure are past bounds at this point. At 12:30, between the two of you you restored order in that one small side overgrown section. Quite an accomplishment. When that grass gets out-of-hand it is something. With all the rain you had for months, I'll bet some people never got a real change to mow. I remember Sean cutting something like five levels of mowing, criss-crossing on bad lawns. As many tough places you've included us on, that one is a workout. (One good thing, you have a patch cleared for the small dog to be able to get around in...) And we now have a "new standard" we can agree on, a "brown lawn is a good lawn" after disaster mowing.
Tim, thanks for that from the UK, if I could I'd be there helping you. Hopefully for part 3 all the stuff is moved so you can get a good proper job done, great on seeing you've got some help, looking forward to Part 3 - The Lawnmower Strikes Back. 🤣
It is great to see other people helping you. Hopefully that will encourage motor people to help others
beautiful content, we all love lawns , thats what we spend most our day here in Calgary- mowing lawns 16 hours every day.
Crikey 16 hours, must be the long twilight season?
Man, that Kikuyu must be an absolute paradise for pests and vermin.
Wow... do you ever find some overgrown yards. Good thing because I sure enjoy watching you clean them up.
The state of someone backyard tells you the state of their home life
The thumbnail got me - I thought he was standing. It reminded me of a property I helped mow once that was of similar consistency. Except there was a 1m retaining wall drop that wasn't visible until after we sent the mower over it. Was looking forward to something similar here but I see it was an illusion haha. Sometimes these lawns can be fun!
its crazy how that grows but you always make it look good nice job tim
You really dragged the guy with the BEST LAWN on TH-cam to work on an insanely bad yard??? Carthic must be having heart palpitations!!! But seriously, it's great he came along and helped. What a nice guy!!! Looks great and keep up the teamwork!!!
Oo
Making such a difference to have a buddy to move the camera 📷, rake the sections up and trim the edges, a great time saver 🙌
It’s good to have friends. That backyard would’ve been daunting by yourself.
You two are so brave! Great collab!
Nice to see the team back using your talents to smash through anothe disaster. Great job guys
They need to invent a regular push mower with an upturned rake welded onto the front, to lift that grass before it cuts. That's alot of work. Bad grass. Nice job!
Actually a mower is supposed to raise the grass by air force as the blades swirl over the top of it lifting it to be cut evenly. Kikuyu of course is having none of that and will stubornly lay there in defiance (it's heavier than other grasses).
But I like your thinking on a practical solution. It'd have to be some sort of cutter as a rake would jam in seconds. You'd just lock the front of the mower into a bind even if it was self propelled. I regularly crash my mower to a dead stop by hitting a small bump and launching into a thick patch of kikuyu just on 3 weekly cuts. The engine stops spinning instantly it's that strong! (Tip: don't do that. It's really bad for the crank shaft.)
Amazing work thank you for your helping keep our plant beautiful
You both got your aerobic points in today!
PS - local green waste bins look ultra large! Does everything grow bigger / faster in Australia?
PS2 - looks like you destroyed some perfectly good rat habitat!
When you have to whippersnip the whippersnippings, you know it’s bad!
Glad we don't have that grass in Wa State USA. Nice job men. 👍👍👍
You do like to pick the interesting yards don’t you,your partner in crime was probably saying to himself what the hell did I get myself into.definitely a transformation.to bad family or friends or neighbors did not reach out to homeowner to offer help.both of y’all deserve a big thank you.just keep doing your thing and carry on.👍👍👍😎😎😎
Going to call these collaboration videos MATE DATES , great to see you having another hang out day 🇦🇺💜🖐
Funny intro! That unchecked kaikuyu is just crazy. It looks nice when it's kept after, but this lawn has really been let go. Excellent job, Tim and Carthic!
👍🏻 job Tim. It’ll be 👍🏻 when it’s eventually finished
Very Good JOB you Two!!!
I enjoy your videos and these home owners have to appreciate all the hard work you guys are doing. I know this yard has been a really tough one. Thanks for doing these videos.
As always fantastic job. Loved the intro.
Witam... muszę przyznać , że praca w Pana wykonaniu jest super ... Jeżeli dotyczy partnera to ma ona wiele do życzenia : bez planu , haotyczna i nie dokładna 😊 ... pozdrawiam!
As always, it looks much, much better! Hats off to Carthic for joining you to help tame that wild yard. I don't have an Instagram account, but if Carthic gets a TH-cam or Facebook account, I'll sub/follow him too. I can't wait until the next one.
Just wondering, would a dethatching blade cut through some of those runners or are the runners too thick & tough?
Anyone who comes and does a heavy cleanup like that for free is amazing- not obligated to have to clean up the rest of the stuff - remember they are helping clearing the overgrown vegetation out for free - not many get anything for free these days- I know 😔 - 71 yo female that recently had to pay Au $ 1500 to clear my property that wasn’t even a 1/4 as big but I did have some high shrubs cut down and some on Body Corp area outside my property as management wouldn’t address it even though it affected my property 😤 - 5 hours work 😞
Doesn't seem too much, including factors such as qualified staff, fuel ⛽ prices, for travel and equipment, rubbish removal, maintenance on equipment.
I used to run a garden business and I couldn't make money at the prices I used to charge for low income folks.
Professional rates as at 2022 should be $75-$100 per hour for basic level services. I used to charge $15-20, only 15 years ago.
A plumber currently is a $100 call out fee just for $30 minutes only.
Prices and money are relative to your budget and cash flow. 💸 💰
@@AnitaSouthall - I agree but 1/3rd of my clean up was on Body Corporate gardens as it was affecting my property, and it was a cash deal as I’m a Pensioner - it could have cost me a lot more - the Body Corporate over growth has damaged my fencing in places - the By Laws state we have to pay 50/50, so now I’m up for $1530 for my share of the fence replacement now - so as a Pensioner, total bill to get my stuff sorted is $3030 😔
I see that's a hard grass to deal with. Good job. From Minnesota USA.
Couch and Kikuyu are hard wearing but that's a bit pointless when it gets out of control and nobody walks on it anyway . I think I'd roundup that grass and start again with something a bit more user friendly . Good job though guys , hard yakka there .
Os entulhos acabam atrapalhando a limpeza. Parabéns rapaz!
Great opening. Guess Nicole has been promoted. To director and set designer. Love when you work together with Carthics.
That yard needs a sod cutter!! Go over it a few times. It would get rid of the roots and lower the yard about 5 to 6 inches. Then reseed with some good grass seed. That is a crazy mess. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Tim it's great to see Carthic helping you out again. Tim I think you need to invent a special mower that will cut right threw that kooch grass. Great job guys, looking forward to the next part.
I have never seen such long runners. You are awesome for taking the challenge of this yard !!
Hi Tim and Carthic, Wow you could go over that lawn 10 times to try and make a difference. It didnt look that thick until you's started. Your work is cut out for you with this 1. Cant wait to see the next instalement. Stay Safe ❤🙏👶❤🙏👍🤗
This was just absolutely crazy. Kudos to you guys for tackling it! That grass is just insane. I'm guessing it's a love hate relationship over there.
GREAT duo job!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
SO much work done and SO much more to do. Hat's off to you both for the great start! I wonder...if you used a tree trimmer and/or an edger blade on those stringers in a crosshatch pattern if it wouldn't help get through the stringers and help aerate the soil at the same time?
WHHHAT THE JUNGLE HECK 😱😱😧😧😲😲. I feel for you Tim that's RIDICULOUSLY CRAZY 🤪 😜 😳 😢
Nice job. Looked exhausting.
What a pair of legends!
These guys need a skip and some family to help grandad with this stuff.
You guys do good for whatever that vegetation is. It doesn't actually look like grass, but I guess it is in that area. Thumbs Up!
It's kikuyu. A grass with an attitude problem.
Reall struggles for humanity 👌🏻👌🏻💕💕💖😘
Poison the lot. Wait 3-4 weeks till its dead and dry then smash it out. That looked brutal. Good effort fellas!
They'd still have the same problem. The runners are sitting under where the mower can get to them even if it was dead. Besides, the grass itself is fine it's just too tall.
Loved all of the vid. Thank you
I have a feeling that poor little mower isn't long for this world with jobs like this.
Those poor dogs looked like little ants in that grass!! Great job so far guys.
Love the funny intro! Y’all have some crazy grass there in Australia. If it’s kept mowed it will be thick and green? Y’all do good work. - watching from Lake Wales, Florida
Thank you!
need people like you here in nz know dose anything like that here so many people are un able but there are heps that are able body but to lazy like stroke victims i one of them but i keep fighting and do it myself lawns etc
Small time Kiwi mower here. Thing is you need the right gear to tackle something like this lawn and it isn't cheap. Plus disposal costs. Plus the actual physical effort required. I've considered trying it but I really think it'd kill my old mower - which funnily enough is Australian (love the old Rovers).
Carthic was a good sport to come help with this.
That is one nasty property - kudos to you!
Good job, as always.
really hard work 4u guys but look awesome 😅😅😅😅
I remember that fella's yard in a previous video, it is indeed pristine!
Nice work on this!
Geez, i didn't reckonise you. No green shirt. I had to look twice.
It was nice to work together I think for both of you gentlemen.
That utility mower is a beast! Does Carthic find the overgrown yards overwhelming? I imagine he would need to change from his usual techniques.
Yikes, Tim! I hardly recognized you in the red shirt! I'm used to the lime-neon green!
Good job men👍👍👍👍👍👍
How about after the first pass with the mower if you use the edger on the back yard making a criss cross pattern to cut the long strands of kikuyu grass and then mow?
What a tangled mess. But you always persevere.👍👍👏
Are there any old unkept cemeteries you could mow there? I like to see them taken care of.
