This lady reached out to me on facebook to help get her lawn back in control. Earlier this spring we had some crazy rainfall and they weren't able to get out with their push mower to cut it down. It got out of control and they didn't have hundreds of dollars to pay someone to get it fixed.
So I went and checked it out and it was BAD. There were spots over 8ft tall. Luckily, my Hustler Super S cut it down no problem. The unlucky part, is that my weedeater threw a rock at her glass back door and cost me a lot...

Good morning Spencer 🌞 ☕️
try it! you won't be sorry! best meal delivery service ever!!!
600 bucks a window!!!! That's a lot. How much would you ask for doing this job by paying you? I dunno but 600 hundred just that glass is like too much...
@@alaplag Have you contracted out to do anything recently?
Add up the costs:
1. Basic service call fee for a company to come out and measure it.
2. Tempered glass door as well. It's not just a sheet of glass. It's an uncommon size I think, so they have to replace the whole door.
3. Labor
4. Sales tax
@@mrcryptozoic817 well if it's tempered glass and they come home to do it, perhaps it's ok. I thought that it was a common glass from a window, had to view the video again to double check it.. didn't notice it was a door. Tempered glass is expensive.
This was my yard, I was embarrassed of how over grown it was, but out riding mower broke down and it just got to hard to try to maintain with our push mower, I saw an ad on Facebook and reached out, Spencer was great!!! So polite, as soon as that window broke he came and knocked on my door and immediately offered to replace it and we had it scheduled for replacement the same day. Spencer was a god send, I will never let my yard get that bad again! Thank you again Spencer!
I understand the embarrassment feeling but seriously who amongst us hasn’t had something in our life get out of hand at least once.
You have a great backyard!
Properties there are huge! The patch i mow is 10'x16'ish if i had to mow as much im sure i wouldnt be doing it quite as often and for sure i'd buy one of those riding mowers, i watch these guys because i like to learn how to work more efficiently and because i just love the before and afters
I would turn that backyard into a grow bed plaza, a food garden.
Good kid that one
@@anacervantes1946 I’ve watched hundreds of lawn care videos, and the way Spencer takes care to do a section and clean as he goes is the most efficient way in my opinion. The way he details, cleans, reinspects his work before moving on, this is why I keep coming back to him. I love his standards. I loved mowing, so I live vicariously through Spencer.
Spenser you did the right thing by telling the homeowner what happened, then you paid for the replacement window. That’s what sets you above the rest! You are an amazing person, and the work ethic you keep goes to show who to trust and call upon for reliable help. Keep up the good work. You did a great job on the yard! It looks so much better than before.
Thank you so much, it means a lot!
@@SBMowing I did the same thing weed eating around my landlord's meadery tasting room, one whole layer of the double pane glass pane door. He never made me pay for it, even though I offered. From then on in I leaned a piece of light plywood up against it when I line trimmed around it, especially if it was dry and rocks and pebbles would fly.
Accidents are going to happen Spencer and we all have them. We all know you did the RIGHT THING by paying to get the window fixed. You are a doll for doing this for her and I’m sure she was very thankful. I want YOU to be careful too. I worry about critters ie snakes, spiders, and of course that dreadful poison ivy you come across sometimes, I’m sooo thankful you know! You did ANOTHER AMAZING job and have Blessed sooooo many others by giving your time, talent and gifts. Take care and may God Bless you and keep you safe. “God Blesses Those Who Bless Others.” 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
That’s pretty funny ….god
@@jgage2344 what’s so funny?
Great comment Alice! Nothing funny about it in my opinion.
@@troyfortune4124 Thank you ❤️
Thank you Alice! It always feels good to do the right thing.
'My wife'...so sweet how you said that with such loving pride and adoration in your voice. ❤️
Oh man that was a rough one. Accidents do happen and it sucks, but your attitude is everything. Great Job Spencer & Hello Mrs. SB Mowing, what a lovely lady. You two are adorable.
Thank you so much! I'm lucky to have her!
Her homeowners insurance should have covered it.
@@0001-r3o I would think his business insurance would cover it. And he did the right thing by owning up to it and getting it replaced. Even though he did a free job his character came thru even more by dealing with it. LOL, God notices these things... he brought a smile to God.
@@woolval52 how can a non-existing being notice anything, let alone smile?
@@iambadatnamingthings3547 Like the song says, "Let it go, let it go." What this world needs is more smiles.
Ohhhh look how cute you and your bride are!!
So sorry about that door but the way you handled it was perfect…integrity!! This property turned out super nice and May you be doubly blessed for doing it for free.
Thank you so much, it means a lot to me!
What an amazing change from the before to after! I respect how you immediately saw to it the glass was replaced, it speaks to your character. I have to say, your wife is beautiful and so sweet to bring you lunch.
Thank you so much Deb!
Thats nise😊❤❤
Spencer, you are a really good person to do this free for people and even nicer to pay to repair their expensive glass sliding door. You are the example of what we all should be.
I just discovered your videos. Your kindness will be returned to you many times over. Some of these people can't keep up with their yards through no fault of their own. You are not only saving them money, you're helping them emotionally and mentally. You're giving them back their self worth... I wish the world had more people like you...
You are a stand up guy. Well done and handled with that freaky accident. Your wife is adorable.
Nice to meet your wife and sorry about the window...have a great day and take care!!!!
Thanks, you too!
Anyone else amazed on how big this back yard is? All I can think of is a dog running the length of fence line living his best life! You did amazing! 😀
All I could think about was where I would put the pool!!!
Yes- big yard!
Where I'm from we have alot smaller yards too. I always think, wow they have such big back yards! Haha!
Spencer, I was delighted to see you cut down those random volunteer trees growing up the fence line, such a professional job!
Sorry to hear about the broken glass door.
FYI: Beautiful wife! But you already know that! 😂
She really is! And what a sweet wife to bring him lunch with a cool shake on a hot day.
@@frostyangelz209 Yes, I used to do the same when my husband and I were young! 😁
She is amazing!!!
@@SBMowing Ahh, that is so sweet to hear a husband say that about his wife. Nowadays, we mostly hear complaints about spouses.
Good for you Spencer! Keep it up.
I’ve been married 50 years last September, and my husband still says the nicest things about me.
Oh shucks! That sucks that her window broke! Mistakes happen, so don't feel bad Spencer! I can't believe that window pane was $600! Thank you for taking the time to film yourself doing good work for your community! That was a huge back yard and it looked like the nice lady really needed your help to get it contained again! You always seem to find poison ivy on every job, it's like the poison ivy is there just for you, haha! God blessed you with a good heart, don't ever stop being a kind and good person. You are a role model to thousands of people sir, so thank you! God bless!
It was a glass door
@@marylosee5626 And multi-pane. That ups the price a bit.
Yay! Omg she’s adorable! Nice to finally meet you Mrs. SB Mowing!🎉 amazing transformation as per usual. So sorry about the unfortunate rock vs window mishap.
Haha things happen! Thank you for watching!
There needs to be more people like you in this world! What you do is wonderful...
Awesome job! Your wife is so beautiful and sweet. Treasure her. ❤👍
I am definitely lucky to have her!
Ahhh we finally got to meet Mrs. S.B. …. Lovely Lady!
Another great job, Spencer. Many years ago I worked as self employed handyman. I had several customers that lived along the edge of a golf fairway. Had so many broken windows along there that I kept pieces of glass their size at my house. Once I had just finished replacing one glass and was standing outside talking to the customer. She shouted, "oh no " as we heard a golf ball coming through the tree leaves and sure enough it hit and broke the window I had just replaced. Sometimes stuff just happens.
Bet the golf club doesnt contribute to window replacement!...buyer beware.
@@jeanwoodhouse8899 Right. That particular customer said it was in the covenants that the home owners adjacent to the course assume the risk. Same situation if they have EFIS ( Dryvit ) and get a ball strike that causes a hole. Kind of makes you wonder about the intelligence of those owners, to willingly take that risk.
If i was the homeowner i'd just get windows made of some security glass on that side! Must be shitty to replace windows all the time.
@ Dallas Arnold I'd replace the vulnerable windows with Lexan. No more glass panes.
I think I’d install a huge net over that side of my yard! 😂
Ever since I subscribed to your Mowing and Pressure Washing channels, you have been consistent in the meticulous way you do your job. Anyone who hires you will always get their money's worth. Your integrity is one selling point for me. Thanks for allowing us to meet your beautiful wife. She is one asset that makes your life and work more meaningful. Sadly, I don't live in the U.S., so I will just settle for the awesome videos you post. 😊 God bless you both, Mr. & Mrs. SB Mowing! 😁
We are lucky to have people like you in the world. Hi to the wife👋🏻. Great transformation 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
😊 thank you
This is not only cutting the grass, or making the front yard presentable. This is a whole landscaping operation!!! You are doing way more than beyond expectations, even if you were getting paid.
Thank you Spencer for such a loving and giving heart. You and your wife are so sweet. This lady needs a riding lawnmower, that's a huge lawn to push mow.💯❤️
That transformation was amazing! The before and after almost looked like they weren't in the same yard. Your attitude is the best with the struggles of the day. Sorry it was so rough. I sure missed you on Wednesday. 😉
It was crazy for sure!
Mrs. SBMowing was terrific for bringing you a nice lunch! Sorry about the glass, but I also love how you jumped in and took responsibliltiy and fixed it. The yard lookd amazing!
18:34 "No, I look like crap" Funny, my first thought was "wow, she's beautiful".
your first pass was not so much mowing as it was haying.. wow. watching you do this is so relaxing.. i get my best sanding and carving done while watching you do what you do.
Máš vynikající stroj na sekání tak přerostlé trávy. To už byla horor zahrada. Ty si víš se vším rady a tak i tady jsi vytvořil zázrak a posekal jsi paní zahradu jak by to sama nedokázala. Mohla Ti to rozbité sklo odpustit, když jsi toho tolik udělal, Jsi výborný a já ti děkuji za toto video!!!💯👍👍🌿
"horror garden" lol
Wow what a transformation. So much usable yardspace. Sorry about your misfortunes on this one. You are a stand up guy for getting the glass door fixed right away. God bless from Baltimore
Thank you, Brian!
Hi Spencer
Nice to see your wife.
That yard was messed up. But you fixed it up. I like how you pay attention to detail.
Getting those trees of the fence line really transformed the total look of the yard.
Bummer about the door, but as you said it's part of business
Be blessed as you are being a blessing.
Stay healthy and safe
Awesome that you do this service. I hope you get the appreciation you deserve, and some increased business as well.
I appreciate that!
You do a great job. Thank you for helping people out so much.
Your an awesome lad mate, i love watching your content, and i never thought i would watch one in it's entirety, but i have watched several because they are a super cool progression from a huge mess turning into a beautiful finished yard.
So happy to your beautiful wife! The yard looks fabulous! Your one hard workin’ man with amazing integrity!
Thanks so much!
Watching what you do helps restore what little faith I have in humanity. And the OCD part of my brain salutes you!
Another incredible job on a very overgrown yard. That was a lot of work. That's a shame about the broken door. You did the right thing. I can't help but wonder why she didn't do the right thing and just turn it in on her homeowners' ins. You really did a lot for her for Free. Nice to see Mrs. SB. She must be very proud of the man you are.
Yikes that’s scary. Glad no one was hurt. You’re a good man Spence. Your bride is adorable. Nice she took the time to bring you lunch.
Hello to your beautiful wife! This was another amazing video. I am always impressed with your work. This was a huge blessing for the home owner. Once again, you knocked it out of the park.
Thank you so much, it means a lot!
That backyard was massive. Great job cleaning it up. You have a beautiful wife. What a sweet gesture bringing you lunch.
Great job at getting that lawn taken care of and also for getting the window fixed, Accidents do happen but you did the right thing. I would also like to point out just how tall and
thick that grass was by the number of times that it stalled out that mower and how you worked through the hard times and got the job done. Once again another great job.
Thank you! Have a great thanksgiving!
Spencer, your attitude was really wonderful about the window, 😊 maybe, while in your truck you were worked up about it, not on camera at all, and I would be surprised if you were in your truck! But, you showed what true accountability looks like! Truly inspiring for your viewers! If the whole word were like that, who knows maybe there'd be no more wars peace everywhere? What a wonderful idea hmmm? Loved the adorable Mrs SB Mowing! ❤️
I totally relate to it getting out of hand. Time can slip away, and it just gets overwhelming. Incredible job, the before and after photos are a stark improvement 👏
Yes! Thank you!
Love ❤ your content, and congratulations on your wedding and beautiful wife! My question is: do you ever combine your mowing and your pressure washing at one house? Sort of a complete overhaul of the outside thing, maybe with a 2 parter, 1st mowing, 2nd on your power washing channel.
I still really enjoy your pay it forward attitude. Thanks for your time!
Watching from Philippines,so inspiring your act of kindness...love to watch your video so satisfying the before and after transformation 💖💖
And I saw how much you love what you doin😍😍
You do amazing work mate. The transformations you do are so well done, and the fact you do them for free, for people that really need the help is truly awesome.
Keep up your good work
Spencer that was a bit unfortunate. Accidents do happen. You handled it very well ! Hope you have insurance to help to cover this. It is a lot of money and so unexpectedly. Lovely to meet your wife. She’s takes good care of you 😂. Keep safe! Love to you all! 🇳🇱🌷🍀❤️😘
You are such an awesome guy. That was a fantastic transformation. I liked how you handled the shattered glass. Honest guy that you are. So nice of your sweet wife to bring you lunch. Can't hardly wait for the next video.
Perhaps the next time you could see if the glass company would give you a discount if you promote their business in your video. Thanks for all your hard work in helping these people with their yards.
Good Morning Mr. Spencer. Nice job there. That little yellow rider mower can eat up some grass !! We could use some sunshine today. It is overcast (-4c) and snowing here in Montreal !! Happy Friday.
What a great transformation Spencer! You have a great attitude and work ethic.
Just a small donation to recoup cost. Great work you do for your community and TH-cam followers..
Thank you so much, you are too kind!
I commend your nobility 👍❤️ handling this situation with the window after you graciously cleared their lot for free. I think you should have passed on this one, but another great job you've done 👍✅.
You didn't need a lawn mower - you need a wood chipper! Hope you enjoy Thanksgiving with family and friends, Spencer.
PS: Nice to meet your wife! Also - what happens to these overgrown lawns? Can they possibly re-bound?
Lol @ wood chipper
They can rebound but a lot of people are able to keep up with them after I do the initial clean up
@@SBMowing Yeah, they look so dead, but the root systems must still be there. It was nice to meet your wife. Good day for her to come, when extra positives were needed.
Wow ! Look at the difference. It’s an amazing transformation . You must be as thrilled when you stand back and see what you did. Great job as always.
I enjoy every video you put out I try not to miss any of them I'm really appreciative of all the work you do shows that you're a fine person to make good on the accident keep up the great work and thanks for sharing
Thank you for the support!
Sorry about the bad luck you had on this job. You don't deserve to suffer any consequences with all the kindness you share. God Bless!!
Wow! You sure have a beautiful ❤ God bless you Mightily.
Spencer, what happens to all of that brush? That was quite a stand of volunteers! Sorry about your added expense. (Keep those sponsors coming!)
BTW, Mrs. SB is lovely! I wish she could see how the majority of us likely look at home in our sweats (or whatever) watching your videos. I'm for team comfort! 🙃 Almost Thanksgiving so (as industrious as you are) I'm halfway expecting you to go out and get a snow-blower, etc. for ANOTHER channel! 😃
P.S. I really love that you set an example to us viewers not to judge people until you've walked a few miles in THEIR shoes (and *you know* how lawn maintenance ...or life can go sometimes).
Great results! Great content, including the broken window, which looked like a fantastic art installation piece, by the way. Altogether enjoyable. Sorry about the broken glass and your broken drone, though.
Hey Spencer, Look at the bright side, we got to meet your lovely wife! She strikes me as fun loving and even tempered. I'm sorry about the glass door, but you both have a lot to be thankful for in life. I wish you and your wife all the very best!!
But, we could have met the wife any time.
Sucks re the Window.
The homeowner could have paid for it. Duh
Thank you so much!
@@SBMowing My pleasure! Thank you for both enjoyable channels!
I hope you and your families have a great Thanksgiving!
It was lovely to meet Mrs. SB mowing. She is so cute. You make a cute couple. Accidents do happen. You did a great job on this yard. The owner has to be so happy. God bless you all for everything you do.
Its not a bad idea to have a 4x8 plywood to cover those glass doors when you’re using the weed eater. You have a long bed single cab so it should fit right in!
Has to be one of his best transformations yet. Unfortunately it was costly. But what a stand up guy. Keep at it Spencer!
It's insane that she doesn't watch TH-cam :) Anyway nice going with the mowing as I watch this. Looks good and on to the bushes and trees ...
I've done something similar twice this year myself with windows. Aim the trimmer in the right direction and slow down the RPMs and something still gets broken. Just plain bad luck I guess :(
What a long yard! It looks beautiful. And thank you for your example of being honest! Too many people aren't these days. ❤️
Thank you! Have a great thanksgiving!
No good deed goes unpunished! You do great work, it is a shame that you were doing the job for free and lost a lot of money in the process.
There's no way Spencer lost money on this one. He makes crazy bank on these videos. Has has more than 415,000 subscribers and the ad revenue is WAY more than most people realize. I would hate to speculate on a number, but let's not pretend anyone does this for charity. It's VERY profitable.
@@billtruttschel I should do videos. I have about 5 people in my neighborhood that I do their lawns for less than half of what a landscaper would charge that all owe me money. I've come to realize that people with tall grass and poor landscaping have it for a reason........they are too lazy to do it themselves and won't pay someone to do it.
@@billtruttschel In case you haven't watched, a whole lot of homesteaders are making their living off TH-cam. A lot of them gave up regular jobs. If TH-cam crashes at some point, all those people who solely depend upon it for income will be hurting and have to go out and find regular jobs. Spencer works his regular mowing job, as well as do a lot of others who mow for free also. They are working hard and deserve the extra income.😀😍☺
@@louisec3595 I don't deny that Spencer and other youtubers are working hard. But they are also pulling down 6-figure incomes. They are not doing it for charity. They are doing is for crazy amounts of money. Much more than a one-man lawn mowing service would otherwise make.
@@billtruttschel I agree, hope you don't begrudge them for making lots of money. All the money and income should not go to the wealthy or 1% who are the richest.
Spencer, loved the way-at the 18:30 mark, you showed off your wife, Mrs. SB Mowing, to us viewers, as the asset she is to your life!👍! You've won major points with her for that! Thank-you for the approval of her hearts intent to help you do a great job! Doug❤️⭐⭐⭐😇😁🤓
Wow, that was crazy. I’m surprised you didn’t run out of gas or break a blade. Nice job. Oh, and great meeting Mrs. SB❤️
Spenser, you are a good man. Doing the yard, paying for a new windor, and having such a wonderful attitude. God is going to richly bless you.
Great job! Sorry you had some bad luck, but unfortunately it will happen. It was super nice of your wife to bring you lunch. Carry on, and keep doing good things.
Thank you so much!
Huge lawn deep lot and so much tree growth. What a pile of wood. Great job and a good wife.
Hello
I was just strolling through my account and somehow came across your pg, and I must say that you have such a high spirit towards helping those that are highly in need of your service. In this episode, I felt so bad during your service that it cost you, but you know what there's nothing that God can't repay in a spectacularly way when you least expect it.
May God continue blessing you.
Amen 😊
❤
Get some old moving blankets (might could get old used ones for free or donated from a moving company) and put them over any glass or breakable items before using any tool that throws out rocks or glass-breaking debris. The blankets could be taped right at the top of the glass. The blankets would also be good for covering cars you have to work around and yard statues and pottery and garden hoses.
That is a very Looong backyard! So sorry those things happened to you but you took the high road and did good! When you do the right thing you’ll find you’ll get it back. You do amazing work! - watching from Lake Wales, Florida
Thanks for watching!
Spenser I love how you do all the finish work on these jobs. You could be like some of them and just mow the lawn. But you do the sweaty hard work of edging and clearing the gutters, clearing grass out of cracked driveways and sidewalks. You do it all and it’s always quite a transformation.
What a tragic turn of events. Sorry that happened. You still did a great job as always.
Now that was a really great transformation! What a jungle you started with and the end result was so nice and clean! Wow an amazing job Spencer. Also nice to see your bride in the video! Sweet to bring you lunch! The sliding glass door, not so nice. You had it repaired though and that's pretty nice of you! Til the next one!!!
Awesome 👌 job Spencer! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!
Happy thanksgiving to you as well!
Your so remind me of myself before a major surprise health condition caused me to become disabled at 35. I used to live to cut my grass and took such great pride in my yard, flowers and my garden. I miss it so much, so your videos bring me joy. Thank u.
Perhaps, someday you'll get to meet this old lady and rehabilitate my jungle of a yard. I try not to be too hard on myself about it, but somedays I don't even want to look out the window and see what used to be, oh well... it's life! Keep on doing what you do. I'm sure that there have been jobs that seemed like a regular job to you, but have meant more to that homeowner than you'll ever know. Bless you and your family!
Hey, Spencer! Love your content and the great work you do for your community. How're things with the veteran you helped a few weeks ago? You did a good thing, helping him.
Looks great! Thanks for showing the broken window. I watch many of these types of videos and they never seem to have any issues. I had a lawn company for years and I have broken car windows with a weedeater throwing a rock, ran over pipes, or items people forget are in their overgrown yards. Thanks for keeping it real.
That sucks about the window
But like you said things happen
That yard looks great
Another great job !!!
Thanks man!
you are so awesome for helping people ... accidents do happen so what you can do is when someone wants to pay you even though you refuse to take the money you can always put it aside for accidents like what happened to the ladys door
You are so sweet for helping that lady out like that I,m 71 years young, and my backyard looks that bad but I,m just too old to clean it up wish you lived near here in Gainesville Ga
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support!
That mower literally mows down trees 🌲. I think you have one of the best mowers. It’s insane.
Love your work Spencer. You’re such a good guy.
Your wife is cute as hell!!!
What a jungle that yard was!! It's amazing how much different the yard looks after you were done !!!!! Thank you for being a stand up guy concerning the window!! That was sweet of your wife to bring you lunch!!
Love all ur videos just started watching about a week ago when. U came on my feed now I can’t stop ur work is amazing 🇨🇦❤️
Thats awesome! Thanks for subscribing and welcome!
The Mrs is adorable Spencer. You're a lucky guy. Keep up the awesome work you do. We appreciate these video's.
You have a good wife. She seems lovely and very supportive. Keep her happy!
You did an amazing job, Spencer! And you corrected the accident. No one could do better!
Great job Spencer! You are a giver and ultimately will be abundantly blessed. ❤
You, Spencer, are such an honorable man! I think that’s #1 reason I watch your channel! God Bless you!
She's so sweet to being you lunch and beautiful too. God bless both of you.
Great job again. It is refreshing to see you take ownership of the broken glass. Definitely sucks. But you rock
Mrs SB … cute! I always wonder if you take down “trees/weeds” that you decide needs to go or if you discuss with homeowner first.
You always do an amazing job!
She's lovely Spencer!!! Congratulations again. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Fantastic job Spencer. Accidents happen and you were kind to sort it. 😊
Bummer on the glass door Spencer! What a transformation!!
