Another good video. It would probably be a good idea for this channel as for all the other wonderful landscapers on YT, to register with local law enforcement, explaining the nature of your YT giveaways to unsuspecting homeowners. It may save someone from being at the wrong end of a 12-guage shotgun some day. They may also give you referrals on potential code violations, creating a win-win for the communities.
Yes. It's sickening how people prey upon seniors. I get tons of scam calls usually from over seas from people pretending to be Amazon, FBI, IRS and texts from people pretending to be the bank. I'll take the calls and occupy their time just to keep them tied up and unable to do it to someone who might not know better.
I take care of my mother whose pushing 80. The amount of scam calls she gets, scam mail, scam text messages, and scam knocks at the door is incredible. I knew seniors were prey for financial predators but holy shit!
@@lennybrewster4673 You don't know how many times I've walked in on my father while he was giving his credit card number to someone over the phone. "They called and said they could refinance it!" Then, when he sees videos like Scammer Payback, he says, "How stupid are these people?" Umm, well, I did catch you giving your credit card number 2 weeks ago.
@@lennybrewster4673, Put up a NO Soliciting sign and don't answer numbers you do not know or are not expecting. I've cut out tons of stress just doing those two things.
This homeowner wasn't wrong for being sceptical. There are crooks out there that scout out victims doing things like this. You are one of the good ones SB
Common scam is to tell people it's free then make some excuse for why they have to pay for it after the work is done and the person feels obligated and/or threatened, so they pay.
@@MrCaptainTea Sort of. But this is mostly done in person. Like a shoe shine will drop his brush when he sees a tourist walking by, and if they pick it up and hand it to him he'll offer them a free shine. After he's done, and demands payment, if the person refuses he'll start causing a scene so the tourist feels obligated to pay so as not to escalate the situation.
@@MrCaptainTea online, I'd compare it to those sites that offer a free shipment of cosmetics to "sample" saying there's no risk, just enter your credit card info. In the very fine print it'll tell them that they'll be charged hundreds of dollars monthly if they agree, and since it's mostly seniors that fall for that they're less likely to notice it on their statements, if they even check them at all. Had to deal with it all the time when I would process those claims for the bank, but even though technically they agreed to the terms we'd just chargeback the money from the "company" that scammed them, which in the long run will generally put them out of business. Felt good.
Tbh this is great to hear. Too often elderly people are scammed because of their naivety so it's refreshing to see someone take appropriate steps to protect themselves.
Exactly, not just elderly but it best for anyone to be better safe than sorry. The fact that he only went as far as to stay safe and not like some who immediately become aggressive due to simply being skeptical is nice to see.
I was really impressed by the homeowner's thoroughness in checking Spencer out. Spencer not being even slightly bothered by it made the situation 1000 times better. High five both of them!!
If they get scammed it's usually over the phone and they give their bank account or credit card details to some random person on the phone, or they straight up send money via Western Union or some such.
He is making a ton of money from TH-cam and Patreon with these videos. Nobody has any idea and he looks like the good guy. You have all been scammed once again.
@@phattjohnsonpeople who scam elderly people with cruel tricks because they’re easy prey are definitely evil, yeah. imagine thinking someone was just going to do something nice for you and then getting slammed with a huge fine for trusting them. It’s a good thing that SB is one of the few genuine ones doing good in his community, and it’s sad that scammers are so common that people have to stay on their toes and suspect free goodwill to stay safe.
@@dragonblade4125 This. Thanks for explaining what i was going for! Sales people aren't there to be friendly or respectful, they're there to make the transaction happen legally, including legally shoving them into it.
I think it's better to see an overly cautious elderly person than an overly trusting one. I see it happen too often where they get taken advantage of. At least we know this gentleman is taking precautions! Thanks for taking care of him Spencer, and showing him there are nice people!

@@johnqdoe yeah and he has to pay for that expensive equipment, maintenance, gas, transportation, and all other working expenses, plus his home/car/bills/food. He could have accomplished all that the normal way, but instead he took it to TH-cam so we could pay for all of it without spending a dime, and he could help some people that need it and show that there's still people that do nice things. Ffs man, sometimes he does a 2 day job and hands THEM $300! He is a wonderful guy, and I'm sorry you're such a pessimistic person that you think having people watch videos FOR FREE so he can take care of people's lawns and driveways FOR FREE is a scam. I've never heard anything that ridiculous.
@@johnqdoe if you don't think we know that people make decent money from YT and Patreon then idk what to tell you. We are aware. It's a job and they deserve to be compensated. This guy deserves every penny he gets and then some
@@johnqdoe Everyone knows, viewship/Patreon covers his expenses and can be seen as the "fee" for the job. Hell if he really was a bad guy, he'd do the video AND charge the homeowner
I don't mind this model in certain circumstances. For example helping out people in need who are in poverty. However when Ur knocking on doors of big houses with big yards and taking business from other local businesses I just don't like it. There are plenty of neighbourhoods he can visit where people genuinely would be able to afford these services so I think he should focus on those.
@@theunit659 You don't like it, so EVERYONE must agree with you? You sound like a MAGA, or a Pwoud Bwoy, or an Oath Breaker, or DonOld Poopy Pants himself.
"you keep that, pay it forward to someone for me" Made my day! I struggled a lot this past year, and every now and again, I see a true act of kindness on YT. I know it's not much, but - it's a wee thank you from far away - (Scotland) for you to enjoy a wee something that you truly earned!
@AlternativeAnglez It's not selfish to help elders when the city won't do it. Who cares if he makes more than the guy was gonna give him. Simply by him taking time out of his day to help someone else's house look better isn't "selfish," that's called *kindness.* Where I'm from, it's also called a work ethic.
@AlternativeAnglez 30k per lawn is a gigantic stretch. More like a couple hundred. Anyways, I don't see why you got your panties in a bunch over him helping people out. Money isn't always the reason.
@@DeepDownInTheOcean Going by the number of views and typical TH-cam CPM, the channel owner would stand to make at least $5000 from this video, many times more than the cost of the work. And then you have people like you who say look how generous this guy is for forgoing $50 from the end customer, when in all likelihood the extra views from people sharing "look how nice this guy is" more than make it up. It ain't a charity, it's a business. A very good business strategy, and props to the channel owner, he's come up with a smart idea and deserves his success. But be assured, it's done because it makes him a lot of money.
@Alternative Anglez dont see you being charitable now do i thays like saying "the man down the road is selfish because he gives money to people" in that sense, charity is selfish, which it is the com-pu-leete OPPOSITE of.
I’m so glad you showed an excellent example of how a Senior can investigate to see if something is a scam or not. It’s such good due diligence in this day and age. Kudos to you Spencer for not being offended in any way by it. I just love watching your channel.
Yeah, both sides were actually doing almost perfect in how they responded to the situation. The house owner went to check to see if any reports had come in or anything like that because people doing something for free is almost exclusively done with something nefarious in mind in some way. Meanwhile someone like Spencer should actually expect this behavior instead of getting offended by it. Sad as it is, it is the actual good people that are in the minority, and the ones actually getting offended use emotions as a way to shake up their victims to get what they want (if they got something nefarious in mind). All in all, a very good action and response by both sides here in this screwed up world of ours.
Lots of people do things for free without any malicious intent. Shitty people exist to test your faith in humanity. Thus the solution is trust, but verify. Give people the benefit of the doubt, but don't commit to anything beyond what is polite and expected of civilized society-unless you have evidence or reason to not doubt their good intentions.
This homeowner will never forget the kindness you paid him and the fact that you refused anything in the end. I'm glad you asked him to pay it forward and I hope he does. This is how it starts, it only takes one person to make a positive change and then it spreads to others. Thank you for your work!
He is making a ton of money from TH-cam and Patreon with these videos. Nobody has any idea and he looks like the good guy. You have all been scammed once again.
@johnqdoe i think everybody well knows that he earns money with that and thats exactly the reason why he is able to offer something like this for free you completely missed the point
Unfortunately I think we can all agree that this Homeowner didn’t overreact. He was just being safe. Thank you Spencer for taking the time to explain. 👍❤
@Matts Opinions So Maria has now become Matt. Everyone please report this scam to YT. "Maria" was widely reported and that's why it's now "Matt". This is just a bot designed to elicit a response and to part you from your hard earned cash. It is NOT reality.
@@rbaran6668 Which is what explains why you wouldn't be out there knocking on doors and doing good deeds to start with. That requires a certain amount of respect for others and consideration for their feelings and their property. It requires an ability to understand that others have all rights to make decisions regarding themselves and their property and to understand that if that decision is contrary to what YOU want, it's not personal or about you. In other words, Spencer didn't react this way because he's an adult man and conducts himself as one.
@@rbaran6668 Well, if you're pressure washing paint, when you said you were gonna do his driveway, sidewalk, brick mailbox, and curb....you deserve it.

Outstanding job and nice to see that seniors do check and see if it’s a scam. My 85 year old mom is very vulnerable to saying yes to anything and very frustrating. You’re such a blessing to so many!
@@lok6314 well, technically it is her fault for never adapting to the social environment. Malicious, manipulative people have existed in abundance since the beginning of time. It isn’t necessarily that there are more od them, but rather that the internet has provided the, with a more efficient means of scamming.
The fact you reassure that this isn't a scam and then tell them to check out the final results at the end AND always denying any money, saying to pass it on someone else instead... instant subbed. It's such a good act of kindness that you do. A clean driveway may not be life-changing but your attitude is. *edit:* save your sanity and don't read the replies to this comment. People are missing the point of a free service AND getting TH-cam to pay for it. It's still a good deed at the end of the day. You're giving your time away, making the homeowner happy, and giving us free content. Keep at it!
@@ligma7057 point being? He made an old codgers day, week, and probably months better, without charging the bloke, and then got duly compensated for his effort not just in the work, but also in the editing, camera work, etc, which is time consuming as well. What have you done?

See ? This why I love you. You were not in the least offended, did the same awesome job as always AND you let us in on how the owner and you handled. You understand whereas some people wouldn't. Owner did his due diligence and YOU once again, were a kind, caring young man with only good on your mind. Have a wonderful day sir !
In the beginning, the homeowner was in a 'better safe than sorry mood,' in the end, he was lovely , even sweet, and appreciative. Beautiful work. Wonderful results.
There are so many scammers that prey on older people, I'm not surprised he's a little paranoid. Thankfully there's folks like you who are actually good folks that help people out. Good work.
@@kiriakoz I was surprised when I called into a browser tech support. They not only didn't fix the issue that I was having, but then also tried to charge me after the fact when I never agreed to any arrangement of the sort in the first place. It makes me wonder how many people get duped by those types of scams that seem reasonable at first glance.
I’m glad he realizes that seniors don’t usually stay abreast of the latest technology and scams are thus prime targets. Good on him. I try to teach my mom this all the time.

@@johnqdoeTH-cam pays probably 2-3k per million views, which is nice, but it goes quickly due to mechanical upkeep, fees, costs, gas. And Patreon is fully voluntary and no one is being forced to pay. And by the way, what you despise so much about him, (him being paid by the website so he can continue), you are contributing to by commenting and watching, have a good one.
Nowadays one can't be to careful, I'm glad he checked you out. The Elderly or anyone can be talked into any situation and get taken for great sums without receiving the product or service they paid for. But at the end, he was very happy and appreciative of your hard work. Transformation was awesome!! And so is your integrity.
Dammit Spencer, you got my eyes leaking over a frickin' pressure washing video. When he comes out at the end, you can hear the gratitude/emotion in his voice and then he tries to pay you (which all knew you wouldn't take). Good stuff dude.
@@johnqdoe of course he makes money via YT and Patreon. It's not a secret. He also has to do all the physical work and then edit the videos, etc. Who hurt you? Ha.
@@firecaptain103 I'm thinking that johnqdoe is just jealous because he can't do the work (for one thing) that SB does, and also because he isn't making money from youtube, so he feels he has to put others down who are doing much better than he (johndoe) is.
Good for the homeowner for protecting his home and his family. And good for you for showing him that not everyone is a scammer. I hope he keeps checking on people who come to his house. And I KNOW you'll keep doing a great job!
good for the homeowner for protecting his home and his family? and you hope he keeps checking on people who come to his house? you must live in constant fear like this guy does. a person shows up at your door and the first thing you think of is "I gotta go to the cops," really? I hope you don't own any guns.
This is such a pure interaction. They get skeptical and yeah they often offer money because the work is indeed unbelievable. But the simple communication expresses it all. I’m sure this guy paid someone forward for this. The simple act of giving someone a hand for nothing in return restores people’s belief in good! Thank you for your work, Spencer!
The USA seems such a sad place to live. Fancy checking up with the police when someone offers you a free service. I can watch from afar but you do this out of the goodness of your heart. Very generous but people don’t trust you.
@@cooked.gaming not where I come from. We help each other out all the time and anybody that we know of. It’s the nature of things in country Australia. No questions asked.

Homeowner did the right thing. Took action to make sure he wasn’t being taken advantage of. Good for him. Spencer does an amazing job, and seems like a lovely person. Everyone was in the right here.
Obviously today in 2023, too many scammers passes by and ring at your door to offer you this and that and most of the times you get scammed and loose a ton of money to these people. This elderly man did the right thing, he protected himself and to my opinion, everyone should do the same. You know that you're one in a million that is honest out there. Keep up the good work Spencer !!!
The way I see it, he wasn’t reticent, he was hesitant. Reticence would mean he hid his thoughts, which he did not do, at all. He was actually very clear about being afraid of a hidden catch and we respect him for it. Some initial skepticism is a healthy trait.
@@jaym7494 I think there are different ways to use the word. It can also mean inhibition and distance. It did initially only have the meaning of being uncommunicative/silent, but over time it evolved to being reluctant. Just as all words do, they evolve. Reticent, though, even after many years of the word evolving, is still a pet peeve to some people. Language is ever-growing and that’s the beauty of it. 😊
You are a true gem. As others have already said, we live in a time of dishonesty and corruption. I'm thankful you had the opportunity to restore a little faith in humanity for this man. There are still many good people in the world. The work you did for him is beautiful. ❤
Not only was this amazing to watch as a skilled worker and transformation. I live the fact that he went to the 5-0 out of precaution and you were cool and he let it go. I'm at 15:50 so far so I haven't seen the end but hes going to be soooo happy with the work. Not only that but the world is scary for the older generation. So not only did you give him the gift of the service.... you gave him hope and happiness that there ARE STILL.GOOD PEOPLE OUT IN THIS WORLD... THAT JUST WANNA HELP just to help! Restoring that faith in the old man's heart is ABSOLUTELY amazing to think about. Kudos my mann!!!

No one is being scammed it's good content. Yes he makes money doing it but is putting in labor for that money both with the pressure wash and the video itself. @@johnqdoe
I truly never even thought about this service until watching these videos. I have been amazed bc I didn’t even think about it. It rejuvenates the look of the house. ❤
This one really hit me in the feels. That was one dirty driveway. It's SO satisfying when you get the grass in the spaces between the concrete. What a sweet man. I'm so happy for him. ❤
If watching this video and liking it is the price for giving people needed services like this, then I'm all for it. Good thing you're doing here, and great job!
I love how this all turned out. Spencer, you did another amazing transformation! This man was unsure about you and went to check things out. I think that it was good for him to do that. I'm sure it made him feel better. He did appreciate all you did. Thanks for doing what you do, Spencer.
I love how you're also bringing more attention to homeowners of the benefits of hiring a professional instead of letting it get out of hand like this. When they see the difference they know they want to hire someone in the future.
You handle people with such professionalism and tenderness…it’s really amazing to see someone so genuine, sharing his talents so abundantly😊 Thank you for being you and your sweet wife who supports what you do she must be as kind as you are♥️
Beautiful transformation and interaction between this kind soul and the home owner, i don't blame him for being cautious coz no one does anything for free, i hope to be as generous as you spencer🌹❤

@@mandapannts It is a scam if they say they are just doing it for free. If they are honest and say they are not charging the homeowners because they are getting paid by TH-cam then okay. His older videos would not say how he was getting paid but his newer ones do.
@@johnqdoe receiving whatever money the video makes does not make this a scam. The homeowners still arent charged. And are you stupid - money from patreon comes directly from people who support him... people willingly paying. Making money is not bad. Everything costs money. He wouldn't be able to do this stuff without making anything, because how the hell would he be able to afford equipment? Is that what you would prefer? Nobody getting cleaned driveways etc just because the man could make something back from his hard work? You don't know what scam means.
I love how you can see what needs to be done so easily and are polite about it. The skepticism makes sense, especially in tougher neighborhoods, suburbs off of large cities, etc. We lived in a nice little neighborhood near a very large metropolis for a long time, and you wouldn't believe some of the hijinks people would get up to, including but not limited to people looking in windows of our house, rv, car in all kinds of different ways.
His driveway cleaned up so nice. What a difference! I'm glad you are able to help people who are even dubious-you must be explaining yourself really well. It is understandable that people are suspicious. It's not often that you get something for nothing.
this really moved me because the fact that the owner just couldnt understand why a stranger would do something so nice for him along with his reaction at the end i feel like it kindof restored his faith in humanity a little bit this experience is something hes really going to remember and process and may even inspire him to help a stranger too doing these transformations is more than just cleaning a yard it has a bigger impact. i also just think this is great way to use a youtube platform making a channel than ultimately gives back to the community. i hope to see more content like this on youtube. thank you for doing what you do.
The issue is he comes from a time when people were kind as this (and still are in rural areas). In recent years elders have learned to distrust and rightly so.
It's not a matter of "not understanding why a stranger would so something so nice". If someone knows that this is how scams actually work, he understands perfectly. After they finish the work they demand pay. If he was a typical scammer he would do the work and then demand payment.
What you do for others is absolutely amazing. Helping people beautify their lawns and driveways, for free, is so very generous. You do amazingly beautiful work. God bless you young man!!!😊

@johnqdoe nobody has been scammed. If you have watched his videos, SB is very transparent, and he let's us know that he is able to bless others because is gets compensated by TH-cam. I don't know what Patreon is, but it doesn't matter. If he's being paid, he is paying it forward. I just don't understand your point. At any rate, you be blessed!!!
@@sherrycanada892 His point is that it's not as altruistic as it seems, since he's not doing it for "free", he does get paid, just not by the person he's doing it for. And many people don't see that part, just the surface level of the video (where he offers to do it for free) and assume it's entirely selfless. Although johnqdoe is being incredibly cynical about it, for some reason, as It's far from a scam. Also just an FYI for you, Patreon is an online company that allows people to crowd fund people. For example, you give him 5 bucks a month to support his content, and you'll get a little bonus in return (I dunno about him specifically, but a lot of people have behind the scenes videos non-patreon pledgers don't have access to, putting their name in the credits of videos, etc.)
@Eidlones Even if what you say is true, I am sure that the recipient of his work, as well as the neighbors are happy with it!!! I, for one, don't pay for any of these videos. If subscribing to the channel gets him paid, so be it. I stand by my original statement. He could, in all honesty just keep the money for himself and ride by and ignore these homes that take away from the beauty of the area. There are always going to be naysayers on any situation. FYI, I don't really need to hear from them. Spencer, keep doing what you do and helping people wherever you can!!!
It’s fascinating isn’t it? So often in our lives, we can be oblivious to our own problems, not even acknowledging a problem exists. It sometimes takes a caring person to open our eyes to something we ourselves do not see. What’s important is, that we are open to constructive criticism from others. It’s often too easy to think they’re being judgmental or mean, when all too often, it’s actually an outreach of love extended because they CARE about us. It’s sad when people falsely perceive love as anything to the contrary just because we don’t initially like what we hear. I understand this individual might have been reserved with skepticism because how many people offer such a service for FREE? This said, we need to open ourselves up to receiving love when it’s offered, still of course being cautious of the reality there are indeed scammers, but when someone explains in detail why they’re offering something for FREE, that there’s truly no strings attached, I find it overreacting to call the cops. This said, it’s such a joy that the homeowner was finally able to recognize the truth. It’s amazing what LOVE can do when it’s shared! Love isn’t love until it’s given away! ❤
dirt accumulated a little bit everyday over time, you won't notice the massive differences, just like how you won't see the grow of the people that you see everyday, but you can tell the grow of friends who you haven't seem for a few years in an instant.
Well done Spencer. It’s understandable in this day and age for people to be skeptical. Thanks for helping out the community you visit and for sharing the video. God Bless.
@@yorilala5011 He didn't do it for free. Well, he didn't charge the homeowner, but it benefits both Spencer and homeowner. Homeowner gets free service, Spencer gets ad revenue.

I am sure you understand why he was skeptical. So many who try scamming others out there. Don't stop what you do. You restore faith in humanity. You are more than just a video maker, pressure washer, and landscaping guy. You are a very special person who gives back to the community.
Ty for the video Spencer an absolute pleasure as always. Not only do you help people in a materialistic sense as far as their property but also the fact there are still great, kind, caring and generous folks as yourself still around. Keep up the great work Spence.
It’s totally understandable that the homeowner is sceptical. Good on him for exercising due diligence 😊 great job and thanks for explaining the situation SB ❤

Beautiful video. The difference was dramatic. I loved that the homeowner didn’t realize just how dirty it was until it was cleaned. You can get used to anything. I really loved the mailbox. It looked like it was brand new. I was very impressed by the man checking you out to protect himself, with all the scams going on.

Fantastic! so glad you took the time to speak with him and didn’t take offense to his skepticism. the elderly are often scammed, but he could sure use the help.
As skeptical as the homeowner was, certainly hope he appreciates what you did for him because it is absolutely a magnificent transformation. Am sure his neighbors appreciate it too

Hey Spencer. Great job. I'm glad you did this job even when he hesitant on getting it done. You were able to show him that there are still honest people out there.
@@jonascazares153 not all the time once the work is done he could demand money at a higher rate than what it would cost. He could threaten to get cops and legal involved as well since there's no proof that the customer has that said he'll do it for free.
You are one of the few sparks of kind hearted life in this dark world we live in. And sparking others lives by your presences is always wonderful and beautiful to see. Keep up the great work❤❤
The work that you put into cleaning people's driveways etc. is amazing and you do a wonderful job! Keep up the fine work helping people. It's sad that people have to be so cautious but that is the world we live in. I'm glad it does not stop you from continuing to help people!
Great job! First time watcher for this channel. He seemed like an older gentleman, so to be fair, the older folks are being taken advantage more then ever, with scams and what not. It's a really super great thing, what you do for people. Including younger folks with disabilities and not just older folks that can't get around very well. I appreciate you and your work. It's so good to see that there are some decent and kind hearted people left in this world.
You are a wonderful person. It’s so nice to see someone doing good and making an impact on the world but it’s a shame that it’s so rare that we can’t believe it to be true.
Curb appeal went through the roof and also saved his concrete that was about to start cracking!! Another great job, also I understand why the man went to the cops, hell with the world today, something Free sounds so fishy! Great Job, Spencer!
Ah that was a sweet one, but you know older folks he'll anyone has to be careful. We all are used to free costing us a lot. Thanks for helping to make free, free again! Great job Spencer
⭐️ WANTED ⭐️ Spencer of SB Mowing, A.K.A. "Spence" For mowing yards, edging, tree trimming, and pressure washing all for FREE, while wearing a smile on his face. Then having the audacity to post those exceptional skills on TH-cam for the enjoyment of others. If you see this man, get a picture with him quickly and thank him for all he's done for many communities. Can you imagine? Lol 😁
Unfortunately that is the world we live in now where there are scam companies that offer work for free and then when they are done they present a padded bill for the homeowner/tenant. I don’t blame this gentleman for being safe and feeling “good” before proceeding at all. Good for him and I hope ALL people do the same. It will stop all scammers in their tracks Having said that, another fantastic transformation Spencer!!🎉 His mailbox looked so sad before you cleaned it. The entire property is just beautiful now! Just in time for spring and summer!
Your videos are therapeutic and AWESOME!!! I wish you INFINITE blessings sir! You are the man and do very important work for communities! You are directly standing in the gap for people and their property value appreciation!!
I am now binge - watching someone mowing and power washing for free 🙂 This is such a great thing you do! Wow! Your work ethic is amazing and your jobs always look great when finished! You take pride in your work and you leave behind a refreshed and restored yard and a better looking community! 🏆
I love the little flags you have on your letter boxes, such a great idea especially in the winter months. You have done a wonderful job, for this man. 🇦🇺👏
Unfortunately, they work the opposite way. They aren't to alert you when your mail has arrived. They're to alert the postman that you have outgoing mail in the box (I suppose in case he had no mail to deliver so he doesn't pass you by). When I lived in a cold, snowy (over 90 inches a year), icy part of the country, I always wished there was such a system. It's a royal pain to get all outfitted for the trip to the box only to find out he hadn't bern there yet!
Spencer accomplished a lot through this video and a whole lot of time and effort expended. Property looks amazing! Did a good service for someone who probably couldn’t do this for himself. Encourages other people to get involved and see the needs in their own community and do something to help. I can only see wins.
Help support my work by picking up a hat or T-Shirt - sbmowing.com/shop
Such a massive difference - amazing result!
Another good video. It would probably be a good idea for this channel as for all the other wonderful landscapers on YT, to register with local law enforcement, explaining the nature of your YT giveaways to unsuspecting homeowners. It may save someone from being at the wrong end of a 12-guage shotgun some day. They may also give you referrals on potential code violations, creating a win-win for the communities.

Good for him for being cautious. Too many scams for us seniors. Great job SB
Yes. It's sickening how people prey upon seniors. I get tons of scam calls usually from over seas from people pretending to be Amazon, FBI, IRS and texts from people pretending to be the bank. I'll take the calls and occupy their time just to keep them tied up and unable to do it to someone who might not know better.
I take care of my mother whose pushing 80. The amount of scam calls she gets, scam mail, scam text messages, and scam knocks at the door is incredible. I knew seniors were prey for financial predators but holy shit!
@@lennybrewster4673 You don't know how many times I've walked in on my father while he was giving his credit card number to someone over the phone. "They called and said they could refinance it!"

@@rdot980, 👍🏻 I love it! I'd just take the phone set it down and let them chat away until they discovered no one was listening. 😂

This homeowner wasn't wrong for being sceptical. There are crooks out there that scout out victims doing things like this. You are one of the good ones SB
Common scam is to tell people it's free then make some excuse for why they have to pay for it after the work is done and the person feels obligated and/or threatened, so they pay.
@@johnr797 Sounds just like those indian tech support scammers
@@MrCaptainTea Sort of. But this is mostly done in person. Like a shoe shine will drop his brush when he sees a tourist walking by, and if they pick it up and hand it to him he'll offer them a free shine. After he's done, and demands payment, if the person refuses he'll start causing a scene so the tourist feels obligated to pay so as not to escalate the situation.
@@MrCaptainTea online, I'd compare it to those sites that offer a free shipment of cosmetics to "sample" saying there's no risk, just enter your credit card info. In the very fine print it'll tell them that they'll be charged hundreds of dollars monthly if they agree, and since it's mostly seniors that fall for that they're less likely to notice it on their statements, if they even check them at all. Had to deal with it all the time when I would process those claims for the bank, but even though technically they agreed to the terms we'd just chargeback the money from the "company" that scammed them, which in the long run will generally put them out of business. Felt good.
Yes he is.
Tbh this is great to hear. Too often elderly people are scammed because of their naivety so it's refreshing to see someone take appropriate steps to protect themselves.
Exactly, not just elderly but it best for anyone to be better safe than sorry. The fact that he only went as far as to stay safe and not like some who immediately become aggressive due to simply being skeptical is nice to see.
I was really impressed by the homeowner's thoroughness in checking Spencer out. Spencer not being even slightly bothered by it made the situation 1000 times better. High five both of them!!
It's a hope for good and a trust in people in a world that is sad and broken.
If they get scammed it's usually over the phone and they give their bank account or credit card details to some random person on the phone, or they straight up send money via Western Union or some such.
He is making a ton of money from TH-cam and Patreon with these videos. Nobody has any idea and he looks like the good guy. You have all been scammed once again.
I love the wholesome and warm-hearted feeling you created for this man. He opened his door expecting evil and was met with love. Keep going Spencer!
I don't think he expected evil. He just expected trying to be sold something
So salespeople are evil now eh Kenny? 🤣
@@phattjohnsonpeople who scam elderly people with cruel tricks because they’re easy prey are definitely evil, yeah. imagine thinking someone was just going to do something nice for you and then getting slammed with a huge fine for trusting them. It’s a good thing that SB is one of the few genuine ones doing good in his community, and it’s sad that scammers are so common that people have to stay on their toes and suspect free goodwill to stay safe.
@@dragonblade4125 This. Thanks for explaining what i was going for!
Sales people aren't there to be friendly or respectful, they're there to make the transaction happen legally, including legally shoving them into it.
If a Texan thought there was evil at his door it would be the last door you knocked on!
I think it's better to see an overly cautious elderly person than an overly trusting one. I see it happen too often where they get taken advantage of. At least we know this gentleman is taking precautions!

I don't mind this model in certain circumstances. For example helping out people in need who are in poverty. However when Ur knocking on doors of big houses with big yards and taking business from other local businesses I just don't like it. There are plenty of neighbourhoods he can visit where people genuinely would be able to afford these services so I think he should focus on those.

@AlternativeAnglez It's not selfish to help elders when the city won't do it. Who cares if he makes more than the guy was gonna give him. Simply by him taking time out of his day to help someone else's house look better isn't "selfish," that's called *kindness.* Where I'm from, it's also called a work ethic.
@AlternativeAnglez 30k per lawn is a gigantic stretch. More like a couple hundred. Anyways, I don't see why you got your panties in a bunch over him helping people out. Money isn't always the reason.
@@DeepDownInTheOcean Going by the number of views and typical TH-cam CPM, the channel owner would stand to make at least $5000 from this video, many times more than the cost of the work. And then you have people like you who say look how generous this guy is for forgoing $50 from the end customer, when in all likelihood the extra views from people sharing "look how nice this guy is" more than make it up.
It ain't a charity, it's a business. A very good business strategy, and props to the channel owner, he's come up with a smart idea and deserves his success. But be assured, it's done because it makes him a lot of money.
@Alternative Anglez dont see you being charitable now do i
thays like saying "the man down the road is selfish because he gives money to people"
in that sense, charity is selfish, which it is the com-pu-leete OPPOSITE of.
I’m so glad you showed an excellent example of how a Senior can investigate to see if something is a scam or not. It’s such good due diligence in this day and age. Kudos to you Spencer for not being offended in any way by it. I just love watching your channel.
@Greg Honest you saying hi to every ....😂😂
Hilarious how my post is about spotting a scam and then there’s Greg being all 🚩🚩🚩 city all up in my comments 🤣
i thought the same thing dude! good vibes from Argentina
Yeah, both sides were actually doing almost perfect in how they responded to the situation.
The house owner went to check to see if any reports had come in or anything like that because people doing something for free is almost exclusively done with something nefarious in mind in some way.
Meanwhile someone like Spencer should actually expect this behavior instead of getting offended by it. Sad as it is, it is the actual good people that are in the minority, and the ones actually getting offended use emotions as a way to shake up their victims to get what they want (if they got something nefarious in mind).
All in all, a very good action and response by both sides here in this screwed up world of ours.
Lots of people do things for free without any malicious intent. Shitty people exist to test your faith in humanity. Thus the solution is trust, but verify. Give people the benefit of the doubt, but don't commit to anything beyond what is polite and expected of civilized society-unless you have evidence or reason to not doubt their good intentions.
This homeowner will never forget the kindness you paid him and the fact that you refused anything in the end. I'm glad you asked him to pay it forward and I hope he does. This is how it starts, it only takes one person to make a positive change and then it spreads to others. Thank you for your work!

@@rbaran6668
Which is what explains why you wouldn't be out there knocking on doors and doing good deeds to start with. That requires a certain amount of respect for others and consideration for their feelings and their property. It requires an ability to understand that others have all rights to make decisions regarding themselves and their property and to understand that if that decision is contrary to what YOU want, it's not personal or about you. In other words, Spencer didn't react this way because he's an adult man and conducts himself as one.

Beautiful transformation and interaction between this kind soul and the home owner, i don't blame him for being cautious coz no one does anything for free, i hope to be as generous as you spencer🌹❤
Spencer, once again I am so impressed withe the kindness & grace that you bestow on humanity! Keep up the great work! I enjoy all of your videos so much!♥️ Kindness always wins!
I love how he does things for free. What a nice young man. He deserves recognition. We need more people like him. I wish I had my own lawn mowing business so I could help people in need. I’m also going to get my own pressure washing business.
He is making a ton of money from TH-cam and Patreon with these videos. Nobody has any idea and he looks like the good guy. You have all been scammed once again.
@johnqdoe right, he makes money here so that he can afford to do this for free for people. It isn't a scam, and he's still a good person for using his platform to fund a legitimate act of kindness!
@@mandapannts It is a scam if they say they are just doing it for free. If they are honest and say they are not charging the homeowners because they are getting paid by TH-cam then okay. His older videos would not say how he was getting paid but his newer ones do.
@@johnqdoeI don't think you know what a scam is.
@@johnqdoe receiving whatever money the video makes does not make this a scam. The homeowners still arent charged. And are you stupid - money from patreon comes directly from people who support him... people willingly paying. Making money is not bad. Everything costs money. He wouldn't be able to do this stuff without making anything, because how the hell would he be able to afford equipment? Is that what you would prefer? Nobody getting cleaned driveways etc just because the man could make something back from his hard work?
You don't know what scam means.
I love how you can see what needs to be done so easily and are polite about it. The skepticism makes sense, especially in tougher neighborhoods, suburbs off of large cities, etc. We lived in a nice little neighborhood near a very large metropolis for a long time, and you wouldn't believe some of the hijinks people would get up to, including but not limited to people looking in windows of our house, rv, car in all kinds of different ways.
His driveway cleaned up so nice. What a difference! I'm glad you are able to help people who are even dubious-you must be explaining yourself really well. It is understandable that people are suspicious. It's not often that you get something for nothing.
Thanks Spencer for helping persons who couldn't take care of their own lawn and driveways ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😊😂😊😂😊😂😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
this really moved me because the fact that the owner just couldnt understand why a stranger would do something so nice for him along with his reaction at the end i feel like it kindof restored his faith in humanity a little bit this experience is something hes really going to remember and process and may even inspire him to help a stranger too doing these transformations is more than just cleaning a yard it has a bigger impact. i also just think this is great way to use a youtube platform making a channel than ultimately gives back to the community. i hope to see more content like this on youtube. thank you for doing what you do.
The issue is he comes from a time when people were kind as this (and still are in rural areas). In recent years elders have learned to distrust and rightly so.
@@RunninUpThatHillh its sad
It's not a matter of "not understanding why a stranger would so something so nice". If someone knows that this is how scams actually work, he understands perfectly. After they finish the work they demand pay. If he was a typical scammer he would do the work and then demand payment.
America moment
What you do for others is absolutely amazing. Helping people beautify their lawns and driveways, for free, is so very generous. You do amazingly beautiful work. God bless you young man!!!😊
Making these into videos is genius. He gets his revenue from these vids which enables him to be able to do all this for people for free. Brilliant.
He is making a ton of money from TH-cam and Patreon with these videos. Nobody has any idea and he looks like the good guy. You have all been scammed once again.
@johnqdoe nobody has been scammed. If you have watched his videos, SB is very transparent, and he let's us know that he is able to bless others because is gets compensated by TH-cam. I don't know what Patreon is, but it doesn't matter. If he's being paid, he is paying it forward. I just don't understand your point. At any rate, you be blessed!!!
@@sherrycanada892 His point is that it's not as altruistic as it seems, since he's not doing it for "free", he does get paid, just not by the person he's doing it for. And many people don't see that part, just the surface level of the video (where he offers to do it for free) and assume it's entirely selfless. Although johnqdoe is being incredibly cynical about it, for some reason, as It's far from a scam.
Also just an FYI for you, Patreon is an online company that allows people to crowd fund people. For example, you give him 5 bucks a month to support his content, and you'll get a little bonus in return (I dunno about him specifically, but a lot of people have behind the scenes videos non-patreon pledgers don't have access to, putting their name in the credits of videos, etc.)
@Eidlones Even if what you say is true, I am sure that the recipient of his work, as well as the neighbors are happy with it!!! I, for one, don't pay for any of these videos. If subscribing to the channel gets him paid, so be it. I stand by my original statement. He could, in all honesty just keep the money for himself and ride by and ignore these homes that take away from the beauty of the area. There are always going to be naysayers on any situation. FYI, I don't really need to hear from them. Spencer, keep doing what you do and helping people wherever you can!!!
I dont know how cleaning your sidewalk free is a scam. But whatever.
Another grest job. You've got a heart of gold.
This guy does a better job than 99% of these pressure washing businesses and he does it for gratis. (TH-cam) views. Great work.
He didn't realize his place was so dirty until he saw the final result! Great job, Spencer!!!
It’s fascinating isn’t it?
So often in our lives, we can be oblivious to our own problems, not even acknowledging a problem exists.
It sometimes takes a caring person to open our eyes to something we ourselves do not see. What’s important is, that we are open to constructive criticism from others.
It’s often too easy to think they’re being judgmental or mean, when all too often, it’s actually an outreach of love extended because they CARE about us.
It’s sad when people falsely perceive love as anything to the contrary just because we don’t initially like what we hear.
I understand this individual might have been reserved with skepticism because how many people offer such a service for FREE? This said, we need to open ourselves up to receiving love when it’s offered, still of course being cautious of the reality there are indeed scammers, but when someone explains in detail why they’re offering something for FREE, that there’s truly no strings attached, I find it overreacting to call the cops.
This said, it’s such a joy that the homeowner was finally able to recognize the truth. It’s amazing what LOVE can do when it’s shared!
Love isn’t love until it’s given away! ❤
dirt accumulated a little bit everyday over time, you won't notice the massive differences, just like how you won't see the grow of the people that you see everyday, but you can tell the grow of friends who you haven't seem for a few years in an instant.
Well done Spencer. It’s understandable in this day and age for people to be skeptical. Thanks for helping out the community you visit and for sharing the video. God Bless.
No this kind of homeowner is the reason that you Shoud Never Ever help or do anything for free for anyone
@Yori Lala haha funny joke, tell it again. Theres nothing wrong with helping people who are skeptical
@@yorilala5011 He didn't do it for free.
Well, he didn't charge the homeowner, but it benefits both Spencer and homeowner. Homeowner gets free service, Spencer gets ad revenue.
it's so wild that one of the main things that makes neighborhoods look rundown is just build up over the years. Looks like a brand new home with the work you did. awesome video.
I am sure you understand why he was skeptical. So many who try scamming others out there. Don't stop what you do. You restore faith in humanity. You are more than just a video maker, pressure washer, and landscaping guy. You are a very special person who gives back to the community.
Ty for the video Spencer an absolute pleasure as always. Not only do you help people in a materialistic sense as far as their property but also the fact there are still great, kind, caring and generous folks as yourself still around. Keep up the great work Spence.
It’s totally understandable that the homeowner is sceptical. Good on him for exercising due diligence 😊 great job and thanks for explaining the situation SB ❤
A wonderful job, Spencer and the most wonderful thing was to see that "man-to-man" handshake at the end. It makes me realize how much good there still is in the world because of people like you. God bless & Thanks for sharing!
I love seeing 2 guys show the utmost respect. Great video
I just stumbled across your channel Spencer and you sir are a truly beautiful human being inside and out. If more people were to pass on the value of their own benefit to those neglecting themselves and their homes, this world would literally become heaven on earth. 🙏
He is making a ton of money from TH-cam and Patreon with these videos. Nobody has any idea and he looks like the good guy. You have all been scammed once again.
its always awesome listening to the way peoples tone changes before and after. in the beginning they are always slightly cold maybe a little reserved but once they see the hard work and the quality you put in they are way more comfortable and open up a little more.
You are an angel ! Sending good vibes and blessings 🕊️
Thank you so much!
I don't blame him for being cautious. Too many scams going around that seem legit on the surface.He was a standup guy in the end and I'm glad. You did an awesome job and I'm sure he'll follow through with that pay-it-forward. Thanks for sharing!

Best ever scam that could ever happen to anyone!@@johnqdoe
@@johnqdoe What is your problem man? So he earns on YT, so what? People watch his videos because they are entertaining. Earnings allow him to buy equipment and spent time doing what he does. You "pay" with your click. The property owners pay nothing. Where is the scam here again?
@@johnqdoeHe tells the homeowners that he is going to make a video out of their wash for his YT channel. They knowingly agree to allow him to do that and he is consistent in blurring out their addresses and not letting them pay him anything. We also pay nothing to watch these inspirational and satisfying videos on YT. Where is the scam?
Beautiful video. The difference was dramatic. I loved that the homeowner didn’t realize just how dirty it was until it was cleaned. You can get used to anything. I really loved the mailbox. It looked like it was brand new. I was very impressed by the man checking you out to protect himself, with all the scams going on. My mom was not like that at all and we had to keep a close eye on her. Thank you for the awesome job you did, and keep up the excellent work. Blessings to you and yours, and I’ll catch you next time. ❤️
homeowner calls the fuzz on you & you STILL worked for free ! A true gentleman!
But he didn't. He inquired with the police, not called the police to the scene.
The “fuzz”. Classic! 😂 😆
Everyone was right here, I have heard of gardens being done then the next day they come back stating the homeowner owes hundreds of dollars! Love your help days & wonderful attitude SB. Maybe let the local police know via quick call before you start?
Another fabulous job Spencer. That is one big driveway. Keep up doing what you are doing. You are truly a blessing to the people you help.
Fantastic! so glad you took the time to speak with him and didn’t take offense to his skepticism. the elderly are often scammed, but he could sure use the help.
As skeptical as the homeowner was, certainly hope he appreciates what you did for him because it is absolutely a magnificent transformation. Am sure his neighbors appreciate it too
You are right! I bet the old tight ass didn't even offer him a moldy dollar out of his wallet!
@@bigcws4522 that's totally unnecessary rudeness. Seniors get scammed _all_ the time; there's no reason to be offended when they check to see if it's a scam.
@@bigcws4522You didn’t even watch the whole video 💀
@@bigcws4522 try watching the video before passing ignorant comments
@@bigcws4522 says the ass that didn't watch the whole video.
You're a stand up man keeping to your word doing the job at no cost. Good on you sir. Nice work on the concrete as well, it's glowing!
I love how the curb side get all leaned out from the debris of weeds and ect. Something that most people do by hand on hands n knees !
At least he didn't make a scene in his neighborhood about it. Shows he wanted to believe you but still cautious.
A respectable normal reaction. 😊
Hey Spencer. Great job. I'm glad you did this job even when he hesitant on getting it done. You were able to show him that there are still honest people out there.
There's sooo many scammers out there so good for him for checking up and being vigilant, you did a great job 🏡
The thing is, scammers will not actually go do work for you for free. They want the pay upfront or at least half of it. 🤷♂️
@@jonascazares153 not all the time once the work is done he could demand money at a higher rate than what it would cost. He could threaten to get cops and legal involved as well since there's no proof that the customer has that said he'll do it for free.
You are one of the few sparks of kind hearted life in this dark world we live in. And sparking others lives by your presences is always wonderful and beautiful to see. Keep up the great work❤❤
The work that you put into cleaning people's driveways etc. is amazing and you do a wonderful job! Keep up the fine work helping people. It's sad that people have to be so cautious but that is the world we live in. I'm glad it does not stop you from continuing to help people!
Great job! First time watcher for this channel. He seemed like an older gentleman, so to be fair, the older folks are being taken advantage more then ever, with scams and what not. It's a really super great thing, what you do for people. Including younger folks with disabilities and not just older folks that can't get around very well. I appreciate you and your work. It's so good to see that there are some decent and kind hearted people left in this world.
You are a wonderful person. It’s so nice to see someone doing good and making an impact on the world but it’s a shame that it’s so rare that we can’t believe it to be true.
Curb appeal went through the roof and also saved his concrete that was about to start cracking!! Another great job, also I understand why the man went to the cops, hell with the world today, something Free sounds so fishy! Great Job, Spencer!
Ah that was a sweet one, but you know older folks he'll anyone has to be careful. We all are used to free costing us a lot. Thanks for helping to make free, free again! Great job Spencer
Thank you for kindness, especially to our elderly & the amazing example you are that there is good in this world! Keep paying it forward! ❤
I wish you lived where I live because I would really love to work with you! You do good works and have such a sunny smile! Keep it up!
⭐️ WANTED ⭐️
Spencer of SB Mowing, A.K.A. "Spence"
For mowing yards, edging, tree trimming, and pressure washing all for FREE, while wearing a smile on his face. Then having the audacity to post those exceptional skills on TH-cam for the enjoyment of others. If you see this man, get a picture with him quickly and thank him for all he's done for many communities.
Can you imagine? Lol 😁
Sorry Spenser that you have to go through that for just want to do the right thing , for giving back to the community. God is blessing you.
Oh yay new video! Great job Spencer!
Unfortunately that is the world we live in now where there are scam companies that offer work for free and then when they are done they present a padded bill for the homeowner/tenant. I don’t blame this gentleman for being safe and feeling “good” before proceeding at all. Good for him and I hope ALL people do the same. It will stop all scammers in their tracks
Having said that, another fantastic transformation Spencer!!🎉 His mailbox looked so sad before you cleaned it. The entire property is just beautiful now! Just in time for spring and summer!
Your videos are therapeutic and AWESOME!!! I wish you INFINITE blessings sir! You are the man and do very important work for communities! You are directly standing in the gap for people and their property value appreciation!!
I am now binge - watching someone mowing and power washing for free 🙂 This is such a great thing you do! Wow! Your work ethic is amazing and your jobs always look great when finished! You take pride in your work and you leave behind a refreshed and restored yard and a better looking community! 🏆
Words can’t express bro. You are a Saint.
Although I think there’s something up with your videos because they keep making my eyes water.
100❤
I love the little flags you have on your letter boxes, such a great idea especially in the winter months.
You have done a wonderful job, for this man. 🇦🇺👏
Unfortunately, they work the opposite way. They aren't to alert you when your mail has arrived. They're to alert the postman that you have outgoing mail in the box (I suppose in case he had no mail to deliver so he doesn't pass you by). When I lived in a cold, snowy (over 90 inches a year), icy part of the country, I always wished there was such a system. It's a royal pain to get all outfitted for the trip to the box only to find out he hadn't bern there yet!
@@Lucinda_Jackson Thankyou. Well I learn something new everyday. 👍
@@suzanneyoung6273
That gives us something to look forward to and it's what makes each day worth living! 💕
In case you weren't aware: when you put the flag up, it alerts the mail carrier that there is outgoing mail for him in the box.
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!
Spencer accomplished a lot through this video and a whole lot of time and effort expended. Property looks amazing! Did a good service for someone who probably couldn’t do this for himself. Encourages other people to get involved and see the needs in their own community and do something to help. I can only see wins.
