While headed to another job, I turned down this street and drove right by this overgrown mess. So, I jotted down the address and came back later to get it cleaned up. While taking some before pictures with my drone, a homeless man tried attacking me thinking I was taking pictures of him. Eventually he left as I locked myself in my truck, but I had to keep a close eye over my shoulder as I got this lawn looking great again!

Looks like alot of work
Why try to dramaticize every video with someone trying to murder or arrest you? Shit's complete cringe
That mower you stand in looks like sooo much funnn!!!!! ❤😊❤, Dona USA
Love your work. I was wondering where you got the shovel from. My son is a plumber and he's got a new house that needs some gardening so I was hoping you could tell me.
I agree❤
Dear MR Spencer,
i am jacko from the netherlands.
I have been inspired by your work and as from tommorow i am going to clean up a big balcony for an elderly couple who are living in the same building as my 77 years old father.
Just like you i am going to do it for free!
I think ...no i KNOW we can change the world and make it a little bit more pleasant to live in.
Thank you again for inspiring me.
Greetings Jacko
Nice to hear.
You live in a beautiful country. My husband & I lived in Germany (1970's) & my father & family (when I was 4, 1960) in England. Both were in the Air Force. I have fond memories of living in Europe as a child & young adult traveling around Europe.
God bless your heart ❤
@@RuthRankin2175 I have a similar story, living in Germany in the 90s when my father was in the Air Force. We always loved going over to the Netherlands, as it was such a beautiful country with great people (and still is!)
Thank you Jacko
Spencer, clearing and cleaning vacant properties is mor than just the appearance. We had a vacant house next door to us, and it became the home and nest for rats. At night, they overtook my wife's vegetable garden and cleaned it out. They can spread disease and can also spread fleas and ticks to domestic pets. The owner of the house was putting it on the market and discovered it was used by a addict who was squatting there. After cleaning, repairing, and landscaping they sold it to a good owner. The addict actually threatened me and another neighbor for standing in our own backyards. Keep up this vital and much needed work.
carry a bersa. worked for me. it's not my place to deescalate or placate.
I hear you re the neighbours abusing for standing in your own yard. That's what drug use does to people - makes them paranoid!
@@user-yb5bg8im5gWhen I read comments like yours, I'm so glad I live in Canada.
good to know since bersa is a non lethal weapon. in canada, it's illegal to carry bear spray as a method of self protection. what if spencer did not have his truck to seek shelter. what would you do if you were not in canada and was NOT ALLOWED to protect yourself.@@sahamal_savu

😂So am I! We still have our Constitutional rights here in Texas. Have a great weekend
The Christmas lights on the porch are heartbreaking. Someone once was happy in this house.
I love the pair of dogs just chillin in the grass as you’re getting started.
Stay safe out there Spencer! The pup in his red sweater just plopping down on the grass is so cute! Great job for all the hard work!!
I was thinking the same thing.
Riiight and the other dog trying to get it to play 🥰 so cute
A Friday without SB Mowing would be like corn flakes without the milk.
Raisin bran without the raisins
Pasta without the Parmesan ! 😺
Agree 😊
My daughter has her cornflakes with tomato ketchup and melted cheese lol. But I get what you're saying and agree.
Shades of Orange Juice Jones 🤣
Encountering a homeless man at an abandoned home. Sad sign of the times.
You should place a lawn sign outside places you do for free promoting your business. Something like, “this clean up was donated by @SBMowing and TH-cam followers, learn about us and our channel by…” and add a QR have code and your website? For abandoned places you can leave the lawn sign and ask permission of residents when the home is occupied. Just a thought.
In US, many places has HOA, and these are utterly retarded and screech to anything, signs, the size of the fence, the type of fence, the type of mailbox, color and so on, he would get more trouble from such action than positive feedback.
This is a good idea at first, but then he'll either have to come back to get the sign when things get overgrown again; or come back to the abandoned locations and maintain them instead of finding new lawns.
Ah yes, great idea!
He doesn't need to advertise. He probably gets $5k per million views. That pays way more than having clients would ever pay.

Just cleaning the driveway and sidewalk made the place look better. Kudos to you for doing it all
Hi Spencer! THANKS for saving another yard from drowning! "Lifeguard of lawns!" You never let anyone or anything get in the way of the rescue! True Hero ... Kudos to you 👍🌿
He is by far one of the best I have seen at property mowing and restoration. He even takes time to remove trees growing too close to the homes. His work is excellent!
Then he must be the only one you’ve seen.
@@Reviloj Learn to read carefully. I clearly stated he is 'one of' the best I have seen.
Why does he cut the trees down that are growing close to the homes?
@@johnathonkelley5234It’s not good to have trees grow too close to the foundation of your house. Many people make the mistake of planting trees too close to their home.
@@o.p.4254 would it attract rodents and other vermin and cause problems to the house and property around them?
You deserve a community award for city beautification. You are a remarkable person.
Breaks my heart to see so many homes neglected. You do a great service to the neighborhood. I loved the dog popping up in the video. Well done Spencer.
I agree. So many good people living in their cars who would love to take care of a place.

@laceyjoe5933 Rome and protestants are heretics and schismatics since the great schism of 1054
Yea. SHAM the government doesn’t care about ane of this. ONLE mone. If they can’t mak mone, they probable don’t giv a shit 💩
This is truely the new human: at service to each other, helping. supporting. I bless you and thank you for your work.
Just think… at one time this house was someone’s pride and joy, but with all the overgrown grass and volunteer trees, this house deteriorated into a neighborhood nightmare. Your work has brought pride back into the neighborhood. Your life has made a difference in this community and your good will is a testament to all of us to be willing to help others without asking a thing in return. 😀
Doubt it
I appreciate your hard work and giving dignity back to this little neighborhood.
It's a real shame that someone would let this nice place go into such disrepair. Spencer doesn't let grass grow under his feet. He is the epitome of "anti-lazy". God bless you Spencer! Your services will never go unnoticed. FTW! ❤
I always wonder what the circumstances are behind each of the abandoned homes that Spencer works on.
Nice!!!!!❤🙏
Looks like the one next to it is in bad shape too....😊
That would a great thing he could put on a tee shirt, Spencer doesn’t let grass grow under his feet”. Has a nice ring to it! 👍🏻
True, when finished, even the house looks friendly.
Just so you know, in lots of strata in this country “FTW” means f… the world..
It was the remaining Christmas lights over the front porch that made me so sad. This seems like it was a cute, cozy home for folks once. Beautiful job on the cleanup! Wow!
I was thinking the same
Me too
Yeah makes me think someone had to go to the hospital and never made it back home.
I noticed the Christmas lights too. It was a house full of life once. We will never know what happened.
Yeah and at the other homes he's done where there are flower pots and furniture on the front porch, you can imagine someone sitting their greeting the neighbors walking by, it's so sad to see you wonder why no one claimed the home or sold it, they just leave it to fall down.
Times like these, the Phone-a-Friend option is always a goid choice! Never a bad idea to have someone watch your back! What a transformation! ❤
Spencer, I love that the neighbors expressed their appreciation for what you did!
C'mon. This dude reached HERO status for this job.
Another incredible transformation. It’s quite sad to see houses abandoned. I always think about how many people lived in it raising their children, having generations of family stopping by, & holiday celebrations. 😞
You definitely deserve a medal from your community!
City council should consider giving you retribution and consideration for your work.
God Bless and thank you SB Mowing, Al Bladez, Drake Lawn for your work and help in saving these properties! I can see children running and playing. Somebody please save these houses. Families, individuals need these homes!!
What a mess! Slum lords where are you? Such an eye sore.
SB you never disappoint. The neighbors must be so grateful!!
I think the acting is so funny and cute... "Let's see the backyard. Oh yeah, it's all borded up". When he had set the camera beforehand and had already seen the whole thing... You're very sweet Spencer. 😊
I didn't even make that connection.
Living in Southern California on the coast I find it so weird that there are abandoned houses. Thanks for caring for your corner of the world
Me too. We have such a housing shortage where I am that the houses aren’t empty for 5 min before a for sale or rent sign is up. No matter what the conditions are inside.
OMG, What a challenge you’ve picked again. The neighbours are going to love this one. Great job as usual Spencer
I like to imagine as these yards are getting fixed up that little old neighbors inside their houses are slowing starting to open their curtains and clean the windows because the sight isn’t so DISGUSTING to look at outside anymore.
That would be a nice home for a homeless family. I hate seeing houses abandoned when so many of our veterans are homeless. God bless you Spencer for all you do.
💯
A flipper or Habitat For Humanity’s should get in there and rehab it if it’s abandoned!
I think the regulations governing home restoration loans need a good looking at. It strikes me as wrong that a young family can get a mortgage for a "flipped" house but not a smaller mortgage/restoration loan to do the rehab themselves. After all, the flippers make a lot of money off the quick fixes. When my parents got married they bought a 3 bedroom solid brick semi detached house built in 1903. They were the second owners. It needed everything, but it only took them 3 months to make it livable. They took possession in January of 1959 and moved in when the got back from their honeymoon in April of that year. They were lucky in several fronts and could make it work. A young couple now is behind the eight ball.
No running water.. no heat.. probably derelict and unsafe. Lead paint. Black mold etc..
@@michaeltutty1540Taxes are crazy high on property now. Once you put in the work for restoration and your home gets assessed for value and every job gets assessed for value the taxes just go up and up and up. Many are discouraged bc it can take so much money to repair and what if you can’t get your return before the tax bill comes? Banks aren’t loaning fairly. Black rock and others buying up most of America. It’s near impossible to get a loan on land without a structure. The system is designed for the elites to win and for us to lose. We need a systems overhaul
That was a cute little house at one time . I’m glad that you cleared the yard for the neighborhood, it looks much better now.
Such a good thing you do for the community. No wonder the neighbors thanked you. It hard to see houses like that. I just stumbled across you on Facebook and came to your TH-cam. Glad I did!
Hopefully you get more thank you's from neighbors than threats!!! You're a good man Spencer.
I wish humane for habitat could scoop up these properties before they got so deteriorated. So many homeless Vets could move in rent free and be an asset to these neighborhoods. Great job on the clean up.
Absolutely. I feel the same way
They have owners and is the problem, how you tell be nice a someone they have 60 property waiting for the market get good to sale?
Is all greedy people.
These days habitat prioritizes using bare lots for new buildings. Much of the time it's too far gone to rehab existing buildings. That may not be true everywhere, but it was in Kansas when my grandma passed a few years ago. Had planned on donating her home, but they wanted us to pay to tear it down, so my family sold it to a man who turned it into a rental.
That would be great!
Habitat for Humanity.
What a cute dog, in the red coat, that came out from the neighbour’s house to lay on the front lawn at the beginning of the video. He looked like he wanted to be involved. 🥰
This is such a remarkable transformation. You can really see how cute of a house it was designed to be. I hope someone will buy it and restore the place now that you can see it.
Thank you for bing gentle with he homeless man. He may be suffering with some form of mental illness. Thanks for everthing you do, you are a very kind soul. May The Lord continue to protect & bless you & yous‼️🙂
Dude was definitely squatting in that garage/shed building with the door ajar. I'm surprised whoever put up the boarding on the house didn't secure that outbuilding as well...
It’s amazing your mower goes thru that tall & thick grass. You have great equipment, and do a wonderful job.
I just want to thank you for this channel and all that you do from this disabled old guy. Landscaping was one thing that I really enjoyed.
Spencer, what areas are these homes usually located? I’d like to go to the local council to buy a small house like this one. excellent work as always 💗🙏🏼
hopefully by cleaning up this yard, the neighbors will decide to clean up theirs as well and the town will maintain it. Amazing work!
Neighbors should be grateful for all your hard work. It certainly doesn’t go unnoticed by your viewers. From - Illinois - hi. 😊
You made this yard look so much better. Good job! Hard work.
It's amazing how one determined guy with the right tools and the knowledge to use them can make such a great transformation that lifts the entire neighborhood. Thanks for what you do! I'm glad that crazy fella left you alone. Never tangle with crazies.
Wow, i would have never guessed there was a sidewalk to the house!! Another outstanding job!!
Thanks for cleaning this one up, it really needed it!!! From the front looking at the driveway, I thought there was a garage In the back, but it turned out to be another house! That one is no longer structurally sound and should be torn down. The front house might be a fixer-upper. So many weed-trees next to the house, good to get them out of there!!! Great job, Spencer!!!
You often do tougher jobs than others- thank you!
It's like the front house can breathe again. So sad the back house is beginning to fall down. I was surprised how big the lot was. Great job as always, Spencer, and fun to watch all your hard work pay off! ❤
I don’t understand the concept of abandoned houses. Especially a house with a second house behind it. Nice work. When you cut the tree in front of the front windows I was like YEAHHH thank you 😂
As a former police officer, I really admire your determination. I would have left and come back another day so I wouldn't have to keep looking over my shoulder lol. I do mowing every now and again (not to the scale you do) but every time I'm doing a lawn, I carry a little OC spray thing, and a Glock 17. I for sure recommend both, but honestly just having OC spray is good enough for most situations you could get into. Love the video as always. Thanks for some more great content.
As a brit I don't think I'll ever get used to the fact that people in your country are allowed to carry guns let alone a policeman advising someone to do so. I was warned by a police man for answering my door with an empty glass milk bottle, he said it was an offensive weapon and I could be prosecuted opening the door with it in my hand. We always leave our empty bottles on the front step for the milkman to collect. Just don't do it when someone knocks on your door or you risk being prosecuted. Even though it saves a trip doing it later when no one is about.
@@user-xk3ej6jd5h Haha, 'offensive weapon'-that's a new one for me! But hey, I'm going to start using it now. Yeah, gun laws can be all over the map depending on where you are. I'm not out here telling everyone to pack heat, but I gotta admit, having that extra layer of protection for my family is kinda reassuring. But hey, carrying a gun isn't for everyone, that's for sure. I always tell folks, if you're not ready to pull the trigger when push comes to shove, do not carry a gun.
@DanielCravens ...And by "ready", you also mean "are trained on using them", right? 😊❤
@@treeeva Yes, that's implied, if you can't effectively and accurately put rounds on target don't carry a gun, get trained, but I also mean if you know you don't have what it takes to shoot someone, don't carry a gun.
What a wonderful service for the people in this community. Thank you for caring
Having a really tough day but watching this really helped. I don’t know it made me feel hopeful. Thanks Spencer for being you and doing what you do. It makes a difference in ways you can’t even imagine. Thank you.
I'll the owner of the house on the right is now thinking "Great! Now OURS is the worst looking yard in the block!".
But seriously another terrific job Spence. Your parents must be so proud.
There are many people who do not care that their house looks like a dump. They don’t even see it. It totally does not bother them. It is the lazy and classless among us.
@@justme-on7bn Or the ones with chronic physical or mental illnesses. Yes... there are some that don't care/lazy... but there are a lot that just can't. Who are you to decide from a video which type the neighbors are?
Really love watching you do acts of kindness for neighborhoods. Every deserted home has a history and family parties. Sad to see them in such conditions you find them in. God bless you Spencer.
glad you were safe, Spencer - another great job!!
PS I can't wait to see you get to 2M subscribers!
Jesus Christ loves you all so much God bless you all thank you our Lord and Savior God Jesus Christ The Holy Spirit i love you more than anything Amen
My 11 mo old golden retriever just watched all but the last 7-8 minutes of this video. She was mesmerized. LOL
It would be so satisfying to see these properties get a pressure wash after.
A pressure wash would probably demolish some of these houses.😢
As always, an awesome job from a hard-working young man. This cleanup helped the neighborhood with the appearance and safety. Neighbors, we hope all will contact the town or county and property owner with multiple requests for clean up & maintenance.
Wow. The "before" looks spooky and ramshackle. The "after" almost looks like a inviting cottage.
The one "structure" out back looks like the weed trees are the only thing holding it together.
I would have been scared silly after dealing with that homeless guy.
Another terrific transformation thanks to Spencer!🎉🙌👏
It is so amazing seeing how much good is being done in these videos. At the same time it's so sad seeing so many abandoned homes. Such a contrast, we can't see the good, without the bad.
That abandoned property certainly brings down the look of the entire neighborhood - the blue house across the street appeared to be nicely kept. Well done - I'm sure everyone around appreciates the improvement - maybe neighbors will pitch in and keep it clean.
Quite the transformation Mr Mower!!!!! I know the neighbors must be so relieved to have that yard taken care of. Wow, it was really overgrown! Great Job!
Spencer you're a great guy, thank you.❤
SBMowing, Spencer, you made me laugh with all of your wrestling moves. My Dad & our family were stationed at a military base, which closed decades ago, in the Air Force in Kansas City, Missouri. Dad learned to love wresting there & with the KC Chiefs. I graduated HS & got married in Kansas City. Brought up a lot of memories for me. Be safe, stay healthy & still watch in New Mexico. Excellent job on the yardwork.
Another great rescue! I loved getting a glimpse of what this home was once like. You did an amazing job clearing all the neglect and overgrowth. Thank you for sharing all your adventures with us! Stay safe out there! ❤️
You outclassed the neighbors. Great job once again.
Your tireless, on-going volunteer work, Spencer, is a reminder of *the good and the kindness* that DOES exist in our world. Thank you!
It's not really volunteer work when he knows he's gonna get paid for it on TH-cam 😅
@@HellSpartanZWell hopefully he does get $ from TH-cam viewers, but, I believe he'd still be doing this regardless of pay. Also, I would think by now lawn care equipment manufacturers/retailers would be jockeying for his demonstrating their equipment. He's made so many videos and seems to be set on continuing on. Spencer is a brilliant young man, uplifts communities, one lawn at a time, and seems to be a genuine all around good guy. ❣️
@treeeva he's getting paid one way or another mate
There is something so satisfying about seeing a mess be it a home or yard and seeing the transformation as it goes from messy to orderly.
Looks like someone lives there and cares about their home. Great job!!
Poor little home! You really spruced it up. Interesting window with curved top in back of main house. Bless your heart, Spencer❤🎉😊
You are such a good guy Spencer. I don’t miss any of your videos. Thank you for helping out their neighborhood. You did an amazing job💜
Such a shame, because it's a cute house. I remember when these types of homes, were great, inexpensive starter homes. People were so proud of these little 1, sometimes 2 bedroom homes, and took immaculate care of both in and outside. Many couples added additional rooms on, themselves, if they wanted to stay in them, as their family grew. Children played outdoors, on most days, even on cold or rainy days, especially boys, in their yellow raincoats.Thank you for cleaning up the yard.
The Christmas lights that someone put up shows that at some point there was probably a family living there.
I love the before and after pictures you do. Your community is blessed having you in their area. Keep up the good work. You are appreciated. Vernon, AZ
Thank you for writing the subtitles in the intro.. Very pleasant for those of us with poor hearing. Would appreciate them added to your explanation, too! Love the work you do
My favorite part watching all the work you do is the uncovering of sidewalks, driveways and walkways. Just amazing. Another great job. Cheers!
I like how the dog was like "omg look it all this space" and just went off to explore.
Great job Spencer! Was good to hear that the neighbors came out to say thank you. Also, I am thankful you were able to keep safe after your interaction with the man. Keep doing what you do, you're such a treasure to your community!
1:34 the doggies tho!🐾❤️😉
Running theme in Spencer’s videos lately!🙂
I’ve seen several encounters with homeless people/squatters on other mowing channels, and it’s scary. Always glad you guys are recording. Be aware, be safe.😬
Another fine job Spencer.
Superb job Spencer, a tidy garden is a happy garden, I bet the neighbours were well happy with the job you did. 🤟🏼👍✌️⭐️⭐️
Spencer the yard looks awesome, great job. I know the neighbors appreciate the work you did cleaning up that yard making their neighborhood look good. God bless Spencer and Family.
Amazing how many people are so quick to say thank you but are slow to even try to help
I don't know how you can see through all that hay to do the edging! You do a great job. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
What a transformation. I don't think the house itself is worth remodeling. I noticed some Xmas lights still up. So sad to see a house just go to waste. A happy family with kids in the yard once livened it up.
Your videos are somehow quite cathartic and pleasing to see the often incredible transformation from unsightly to orderly!
Hello Spencer, another fine job done on this one. I love your edging it's always so straight and captives the garden just so. This house looks so much better now that it's not overgrown. Well done and thank you for your help around the community. Lots of love to you and your wife.
Well Spencer, you do not lead a dull life. So grateful for your videos.
AMAZING and AWESOME yard transformation work as ALWAYS Spencer🤗
Spencer that looks 1,000 times better now that you have worked your magic on this transformation clean up you go above and beyond every yard you do always looks so nice when you finish you truly are an earth angel helping so many people and communities and neighborhoods thank you for being such a caring person may god bless you . Please take care and be safe I love all your videos thank you for sharing them.
Wow Spencer i am so happy you found this yard and gave it your all!! Wow a total transformation, thanks for sharing!!
Be careful out there, Spencer. When stuff like that happens, do NOT hesitate to call the police. You never know how these people will react or what they might do. Your safety is the most important thing.
Stay strapped!
I'm always curious why the skinny little trees (?) along the fence get cut down. I understand the ones in front of windows, and can think of some reasons to cut the others down, but I'd definitely love to learn the reason it's done in these videos. Lovely job as always though!
This is what I’m always wondering - why are all the trees and shrubs decimated? I understand if they’re dead or diseased, but otherwise isn’t it nicer to leave some plant life intact?
These videos are not landscaping. They're clearing the land.
I wonder the same thing. Some may have been actually been planted or left on purpose. My other question is when cutting down the young trees and bushes, why leave stumps, instead of cutting ground level so they won't trip someone. That leaves a hazard. Otherwise the places do actually look great! Leaving the cut tall grass though can smother out the grass below encouraging weeds and diseases Especially smaller yards like that. Just something to consider. On a good note though, your work is greatly appreciated!
Many times, trees along fence lines are scrub (undesirables).
Looks great, Spencer!! Be careful going to abandoned homes, as you know that they draw in people that could be dangerous to you. God bless you for all that you do!
Thank you for being a friend to this neighborhood. Keep safe.
It irks me that neighbors don't get together and clean up these places....the way we were brought up, everyone helped each other out. Now people just complain about the mess and do nothing about it. Thank goodness you step in to help.
Are you someone who also drives around to find abandoned homes to keep up with yard work? The town or city hires workers to do lots of these chores. The taxpayers pay for it. Shouldn’t the taxpayers deserve to have the city maintain these places. If it’s abandoned then the city should take care of it, or auction off the property. Don’t be shaming the neighbors, it’s not their responsibility.
That slab is just dumping water against the foundation, rottting the house. 😢 17:17
Young man you do a great job. You have a heart of gold. I love when you do the drone instead of just shot, but I like them to😊❤
The before and after shots are amazing. Your work ethic is aplaudable. God bless you.
Love you Spencer! Bless you for dealing with both the cold & an irate homeless dude!! Your next venture should be SB Demolition - that house should just be leveled!
I'm glad that you didn't show the guy trying to fight you!! Promote POSITIVITY!! Btw, great job on the property too 👍🏾
Just when I think I've seen the most insane lawn, you find another and do an outstanding job in knocking it down and making it look great. Thank you for all you do!!
