City Ignores & Allows SIDEWALKS To Go To WASTE So I Cleaned Them Up For FREE

- I decided to revisit an old sidewalk that i've kept my eye on over the years. I always thought the city would get them cleaned up. However, as you can see, it has never happened! Out of curiosity, I decided to check the old google maps photos of this corner. I was shocked to find out that these sidewalks, along with the ones around it, have not been touched for over 15 years. I'm not too sure what was on this land before, but I assume by the stairways, it could have had 3 homes on it, or a possible park? Not too sure. Either way, they both will look like new soon. Hope you enjoy this one! The other side will get done as well. Have a great day, and be a blessing to your community :)

Who's responsible for sidewalk maintenance in your city?
property owner adjacent to sidewalk
Great question
Public property is supposed to be the ‘communities’ responsibility
However- where I live I take care of walkways and boulevard- trees are left to be trimmed by the wind
Otherwise- empty lots - depends on ownership and over here- it doesn’t matter- small town dive like a ghetto - over here in Sk Canada🇨🇦
* I’m NOT a ‘home owner’ neither
In Shreveport, it seems to be no one's responsibility.
Town
That premier thing you had, is an automatic cigarette roller. You put tobacco in that chamber and then pull a handle (that is missing) and it stuffs the tobacco into an empty cigarette tube.
Awesome job as always. Love the videos!
Thanks for the info!
Yep, just going to say this. My late husband preferred to roll his own (with a brand of loose tobacco to avoid "additives") and used one of these. It's called an "injector".
@@GraeMatterz My mom had one just like that too! Wow memories!
I had to look it up but yep, a cigarette machine.
Cigarette Injector Machine retails for $46 on A-zon.
More landscapers need to use that rotary brush. They too often even resort to using a power washer and the mud is crazy. You've done an amazing job 😊
That brush is doing a great job of getting the leftover dirt off the sidewalk! Well worth the cost & makes it look so much better! Really a nice outcome!
We applaud your community sprit. My girlfriend and I are kayakers, and we collect garbage on the rivers, lakes, and streams we paddle on. You are an inspiration for all of us. Thank you.
Thank you for helping clean the world :)
Though I do not live where you are, Thank You because you too are doing a service!! If everyone pitched in we would have some beautiful communities!!
@@fillslawncare hi, what is so excellent wide brush device at your electric trimmer, what is a brand and type ? Never seen such brush. Does your facemask nicely defend your face of all work dust ? And - you are really nice worker 👍
You deserve a commendation from the city for your work in my opinion…
Very nice work honey , your a good man
They'd probably just fine him for disturbing the peace
@@Freezinggreece2 they'd call the police for a suspicious person loitering and the police would come and pull their guns fearing for their lives that it looked like he had a weapon. 🙄
@@pamjarvis2601 definitely
He should get paid
Medals dont feed you
That REALLY looks nice now Fill. Love that Brush attachment. Yes...I agree with you 💯 percent. Littering is DISGUSTING!❤❤❤
That made a HUGE difference. You restored some dignity and pride of place along that side 🙌💚💚💚. That whole lot would be a terrific place for a community garden.
That would be awesome. Build some beds and green houses.
You did a great job
We need more yous.
WOW... that brush assessory is wicked slick! Loved this transformation!!
It really disgusts me that the city (or local council as we call them in Australia) doesn’t clean up sites like this themselves, although we all know they would not do nearly as good a job as you do Fil. That footpath is such a trip hazard, they’ll find themselves being sued one day because someone has fallen & broken their neck. You’re an inspiration
In some areas in America if you fix or clean up certain areas the local government will fine you
@@apushman Land of the Fee..
@@apushman For real? Amazing….and how ridiculous! You have to wonder about the mentality of pen pushing council workers who make those rules.
That's a lot of shovel work. Nice job.
I’m glad you came along to help this neighborhood. For neglected areas, people may feel that no one cares. I’ve lived in the older downtown neighborhoods. Makes me wish I had the resources to restore it back to a former glory!
Unfortunately neglect breeds neglect, and trash attracts more trash. I really appreciate the kind of community work this guy does, and hopefully people will have more respect for this area now it's been cleaned up.
В твоих видео не только газоны и тротуары становятся прекрасными, но и ты сам и люди вокруг, видя это.
Appreciate what you do especially with the trash litter is one of my biggest pet peeves. I make sure everyday I pick up at least ten pieces of trash while on my walks.
Thank you for doing good deeds for your city :)
@@fillslawncare nope thank you what I do is next to nothing and I should always do more. But seeing litter always upsets me as it should everyone
I am so happy that winter is over in Idaho so I can watch you work your magic again.
Couldn't help but laugh when you went back for your gloves!
Almost forgot! Lol
What a great bit of kit. That giant, rolly brush attachment sure made short work of the gutter. Keep up the great work 👍 👏
I find it so gratifying to see a great trim job.
Thank you 😊
That brush attachment is amazing! You did a great job! 🤗❤👍
How amazing. Your poor back must be screaming. And I just love the brush attachment. Sure saves how much you have to use the blower. What a surprise when you uncovered the big step! Yes, don't litter. There can be all kinds of natural stuff but human litter drives me nuts. That metal thing you found? I think that's a cigarette maker. I'm so proud of you. The respect you show is heartwarming. ❤
U r my kind of people. I keep my neighborhood clean. I'm 65 now, & still doing it. So glad u r helping in your neck of the woods. It looks so much nicer! Your Oregon Viewer.
Love that sweeper attachment. Seems to make easy work of cleaning things up. Great job, as usual!
Thank you for caring and for your hard work. God bless you.
And that new brush attachment is really cool
I'd imagine a grand old house used to sit on that lot so many years ago, and the walk ways in good condition. At least you've made them accessible to the neighborhood. Wonderful! Keep spreading the love! ❤ 34:15
Bravo chef,good job !👍🏆👍🏆👍🇨🇭
Fill, I enjoy watching you work. To me it’s so relaxing to see you clean up some really ugly properties for free and make them look so terrific like they were never as bad looking to begin with. I’m 83 years old and I must admit that you as a young man, have taught me some new ways to clean up around my house. Keep up your great work Fill, I love to watch you. God Bless you for being so good to people and doing such beautiful work for people for free. Joe Paone
Génial ce système de de brosse et efficace 👍👍👍🇨🇭
That brush attachment makes for an amazing tool!
Yes it does!
That so kind of you to clean the side walk. When the dirt and grass hit the camera, i flinched and then i was like I didn't do nothing i was just watching fam. I rubbed my face like i got dirt on it 🤦 🤣.
Been waiting all winter for the lawns and sidewalks! Great video and I look forward to many more!! Stay safe out there and God bless you for all you do. When our time on this old world is done, the only thing we can take with us is love. You certainly seem to possess a lot of that.
That looks like it may have been a park. What a shame that kids can't even use it!. What a great job you've done for it already!
We have a crew that works for our city that mows all city areas and sidewalk areas, but I notice a lot of homeowners take on the areas in front of their houses because they want to or their lawn service does it. Our city is good about trimming trees or whatever if you call them for city property. First time I’ve seen a brush attachment on TH-cam! Great job, but a big job! - watching from Lake Wales,Florida
Great! So much pride.
Great improvement! I hate to see litter, too. You made it so much safer and cleaner. The brush attachment is great, makes quick work. Thanks for all you do!
Absolutely spectacular 👌 thanks for caring 😅😊
Another awesome video, Fill. Speaking as someone who works for a city, we don’t have enough employees to take care of our own property, like all the parks, cemetery, airport, and ditches. Historically, in the summer we hire seasonal maintenance workers for all the extra work like nuisance properties when people won’t mow and take care of their own. We can’t get enough full-time people let alone summer help now. In our city sidewalks are the homeowners responsibility. Unfortunately that kind of thing falls to the bottom of the list when it comes to what’s the most important thing to do for our city.
Thank you for sharing, Stacey. This information is very helpful. Although, I know each city is different.
The list needs to be revised because as it exists now, its failing.
I really like that brush attachment. I hvnt seen it on any other channels. Pretty Cool 😎
Shovelling all those dirt must be hard for the back. You are so kind and conscientious about the looks of the neighbourhood and labour yourself. Respect to you. Like you said people trash places you cannot imagine
That was some excellent shoveling Sir. And that brush does work great on that compacted dirt. Well done. And it will be appreciated by the walkers. And there are obviously many of those. Thank you for the service and picking up garbage.
You are a great asset to your community. Good thing the soil was moist otherwise it would have been tougher to shovel it off. Nifty sidewalk sweeper. Blessings/peace
That brush roller is awesome, Fill! Absolutely love watching you clean up the nasty curbs and sidewalks!👍🏻💙💚 Here, all sidewalks are the responsibility of the property owner; spreading the liability! If your tree damages the sidewalk, you are responsible for the repair AND here the repair must be an approved contractor, no DIY.
The very first video I ever saw you do was a city street like this--very similar. I think it's a very great service you do for the people of the city. 👍👍 That new rolling tool is so cool! Cuts your labor time probably in 1/2 at least for that type of work! Thank you for all you do! 👼
How many people drove by and said that trash is someone else's responsibility....Really sad that people don't care . I work at a county landfill and I'm a scale operator ...weighing in commercial trucks and other vehicles and in the summer I cut ALL the grass for this site as well as picking up the trash that isn't able to be put in the right spot that most people just look at and say " "It's The Landfill who cares where it blows to and goes " " ...I know that what you're doing what you know in your heart is right by doing and going above and beyond maintaining these properties is GREAT but Not Many People Will Say W O W ""Fill"" Did This!!!...I'm Proud To Say I Know You're The One Who Is Doing This In Your Area!!! WTG Fill Your Awesome In Everyway,...Just Wish More People Knew!!!!
Thanks John. You're amazing!
You made a world of a difference just by cleaning up that side walk. Thanks for picking up the trash for the neighborhood.
Nice job. That brush tool saved you a lot of work 👍🌻
what a jewel you are. I never realized how much clearing a sidewalk made everything look so much better. Keep it up, you are a good man
I’m the one that told you about the shovel like attachment to the shoe of of a landscaper…if you watch their opening shots they use it. M & D lawn care is their website
Yeah, I saw them use it, but I'm not sure it'll work for me.
Great job Fill .. thank you for your work & kindness for what. You restore my faith in humanity ❤
Thank you :)
Love the sweeper action. Thanks for picking up trash.
Thank you 😊
Fill you have taken on another difficult job, it’s got to be so energy consuming. God Bless you for it. No one else cares and that’s the problem we are having in this society. Love you for your efforts. 🙏🙏❤️
Boy, that was some hard work!!! The sidewalk looks amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 picking up the trash was the finishing touch👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That was a challenge for sure. Great brush tool for doing that job. Cities don't seem to care about neighborhoods anymore with vacant lots. If they know the owners they usually put up warning signs to clean up. Apparently that town doesn't or else the town is the owner and doesn't fine themselves. Surprised neighbors don't complain. Thanks for caring and doing that fabulous cleanup. Looks Soo much better.
I admire your work ethics. Nice gloves.
You are an amazing guy! You made the sidewalk safe to walk on and then cleaned up the garbage in the field making the area cleaner, is awesome! Great job! Thank you for what you are doing!
Amazing! Community has got to love it. Wonder if property owners just pay the fine instead of paying someone to do upkeep? Bless you-it looks great!
I just love the work you do! Picking up the trash so needed everywhere and I appreciate that.😊
The houses make the neighborhood look like a historic area. Doing the walkway makes it more taken care of and encourages walking around the area to see the old houses.
That looked like an old antenna box for the top of the tv, up step up from the old rabbit ears. That power broom sure does a great job with those packed down leaves and dirt. The trash is a maddening, I live on a main road and try to keep my property nice, never fails that folks driving by seem to delight in throwing trash out the window for me to clean up.
Glad you remembered those gloves! Thank you for doing the community such a service. Seems we can’t really count on anybody except each other now. You are an example for others to follow! Wonderful job!!
Think it was a cigarette rolling machine n missing the handle on top! Good JOB N GOD BLESS YOU!!! 😁🙏💜
Cool video, thank you for cleaning up after people. All those locals pass that trash by. Most of us do that daily. Sorry I don't do more. Keep it up and keep caring
Ooooh, lemme tell ya a ‘lil sumthin’ bout that brush attachment.
She a WHOOOOWHEEE!
Great clean up and restoration! I really like what the brush can do--it's hard to get everything with just a shovel. You did a super service for that community. The city should follow your example!
Nice to see you using the orange safety cones by your vehicle. I wish there were more like you... I do, however, truly appreciate all of the other people doing such caring gestures... you all are special individuals and should be proud. 😊
I feel for you , Shoveling puts a strain on your back , You did a great job , I like your broom , looks like it does a good clean-up
Thank you Jerry :)
It looks AMAZING after you cleaned it up and the City Council owes you a commendation for your hard work and for the beautification of their city !!
Wow what a huge difference you made to the neighborhood, and what a great tool the brush attachment is! It keeps the amount of dust in the air to a minimum. And all that trash you picked up, unbelievable. 👌💪🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You are absolutely meticulous. I love the work that you do. Thank you for setting a wonderful example on how to care for your community. ❤
Nice outcome would love too see the trees trimmed and that grass cut by you, along with the other side all spruced up. Love your content keep up the great work to keeping all clean
I think this should be a short series. I’d love to see you do something with the trees and the yard. Amazing job!
My city does nothing in my sixties I had two feet of snow did my sidewalks took about six hours because he couldn't see the curb when he turned he covered my sidewalk. I have a corner lot. The city threaten me with a ticket for not doing the corner. You do wonderful work. Your electric broom works a treat.
Thank you for doing that clean up! I don't live anywhere near you, but I will say you are one thoughtful man. To take it upon yourself to do all that work is so kind of you. Love the power brush, really does a great job!😊
I needed a quiet distraction today. I just needed to focus on something else. I have a family member who is on a path of distruction, and if this continues, she may not be here, almost happened three years ago.
Anyway, your channel came up in my news feed, I guess I was meant to watch you today, thank you.
We have a problem with old ordinances and laws. As our city has developed and expanded with new neighborhoods, they now require sidewalks. They didn't used to. So now we have a bunch of "sidewalks to nowhere ". They don't connect. It's still not fixing the issues for the disabled, or another forgotten bunch, the people for whatever reason that don't drive. I like your power broom. It seems faster and more directionally precise than the blower. Better than blowing dust every time. Nice to have that choice.
Thank you for sharing, Jackie 😊
Never seen a brush attachment but it was really awesome how it helped clean the street and sidewalk. Great job!!! 👏 👏 👏
I love the sidewalk cleaning videos. I think it's also a wonderful thing to do for the people in the community that use those sidewalks on a regular basis. It not only makes them look really nice, it also makes them safer for people to use, especially people who may have a disability or difficulty walking. I really hope that, in addition to the lawn videos, you continue doing the "sidewalk series" too. Very satisfiying to watch. Good job and look forward to the next video! Take care!
What a huge difference you made there!
You're the one who's amazing! As you see the need, you go out & make your community better. Thank you for all the hard work you do.
Amen you are a blessings and the Heavenly Father will bless you many many blessings and keep safe and thanks for sharing
Absolutely fantastic transformation! Thanks for your caring spirit and perfect cleanup!
Damn. That brush attachment was awesome. Super cool and I haven't seen it before in other lawn care youtube channels. Really satisfying results on camera too!
Love your work! I’ve missed seeing your videos lately for some reason! You
are one of my favorite lawn maintenance videoers! (Is that a word?). 😀
Wow, thank you! Mean a lot to me 😊
I thought it was a nice improvement when you used the brush and blower. You really made a turnaround on this sidewalk. Litter is preventable everywhere, in every country. God bless you and your family❤
You are awesome man 👌👍love your work ...the roller swept all the dust and made the sidewalk shine... 👌
Thank you Fill! It looks amazing 🤩
Thank you 😊
Great job Fill! I love the attachment. Thanks for helping out the community and for sharing the video.
Thank you for watching and the support 😊
Clearing up that path will be so useful to walkers and people who are older or with disabilities. So much safer. Ty Fill😁😁👍
Great job, it is great to see someone take pride in what your city looks like
It is my first commend on your Chanel and I wanna write you thank you, thank you for your help the city and helping the nature for the garbage plaque, that you really CLEAN UP. I don’t see you in your videos drinking, like water or something like that, hopefully you stay hydrated and drink a lot while doing your work!
Greetings from Germany
Thank you for sharing your work. You are making a difference in your community.
Thank you for watching :)
That power broom is pretty cool!
Looks like you saw a few people already who appreciate what you're doing with cleaning up the sidewalks. (:
I got you figured out now Fill, you love snow shoveling so much you just can't quit come springtime 😊
Beautiful workmanship 👏👏👏
Je od vás hezké a obetave že takhle pomáháte městu, když sami nejsou schopni. Přeji vám hodně štěstí a Božího požehnání. 👍👏🌿🌹
At the beginning of this video, as soon as you stopped I knew what happened. I actually said out loud, "GLOVES" when you said, "GOOD CALL", and held up your hands. Again, I love the sweeper. Makes work ten times quicker.
Good call :)))
@@fillslawncare ; D
That was an epic transformation. The brush tool is fantastic too !
You totally rock!!!
Amazing clean up...yes why do people throw their trash in public areas...keep up good work.
Do not know that one, always thought if there was a trash can at the end of the blocks, people would throw their trash in it. But having worked at a gas station, needing to clean the parking lot at night, I have seen people changing their babies dirty diapers. not even walk just a couple steps to put it a trash can, that was not even half full, they just threw it on the ground right were they were standing got in the car and drove away, that is how lazy or just entitled alot of people are.
You’re a hard working Man, God Bless You for caring!!!! Great job 👏👍
Great job, Fill! That sidewalk made a huge difference in the neighborhood. Thank you for leaving your bloopers in the video. Sorry, but I laughed out loud when you stepped on the shovel. 😄 Love it! By the way, the Premier Supermatic is a roll your own cigarette machine for loose tobacco and tubes. That one looks like it needs a garbage can in the worst way. Keep on doing what you do best. You made my day! ❤️
God bless you Fill for making a difference in cleaning up the city! Just think of the difference we all could make!
