    The lady that owns this home was put in a nursing home some time ago. Her family comes by every now and again to take care of things but the yard has gotten out of control. The city posted a notice in her yard for the grass being taller than 12 inches, trash accumulation, and to keep the sidewalk/curb clean. I've never met this lady and probably never will, but I hope that she appreciates how her yard looks the next time she sees it!

      It should be handled differently. So that indeed your patients and other kind of patients can just focus on recovery. Instead of stressing, and getting a fine + other things.
      Can't the local government just buy a small fleet of those gigantic mowers you can sit in?
      Ours have, works fantastically.

      Instead of taking pictures with famous TH-camrs, the neighbors should have been helping the lady out with her yard. Even if they didn't want to help, I would have taken care of the yard so I didn't have to look at it. My neighbors ran into a similar issue when the husband drove his truck through the back of his garage. No one could come out for 2 weeks to at least stabilize the structure. So I went to the local lumber yard and built a structural bracing wall inside their garage to hold the roof trusses and side wall up because I couldn't see how badly damaged the remaining structure was. Didn't want to poke because the electrical panel was hanging on by a thread.

    I don’t know why neighbors aren’t neighborly anymore. When I was in back in Philly both of my next door neighbors were elderly who couldn’t do the outside maintenance. During the winters I would always shovel their steps and sidewalk while doing my own and in the summers I would always trim their front lawns along with mines. It only took an extra hour but at least they wouldn’t have to struggle for hours to do it themselves. Every single time they would either bring out hot coffee or hot cocoa for me and snacks or an ice cold drink. They were such sweethearts, I miss those days dearly.

      @@ck4181 I understand what you’re saying but at the same time if a house is sitting vacant and no one is keeping up with the maintenance you should at least try to keep it manageable. It affects you and your property, you can’t stay outside because of all the mosquitoes, weeds growing into thick trees on the property line caving your fence, flees/ticks, ect….. now if the neighbor is just a lazy prick I wouldn’t touch it. Just report it to the county or city and let them handle it. Every situation is different but in the case of this video with the owner in a nursing home and or dead I would help out it only takes a few extra mins, had one of the neighbors just mowed the lawn when doing theirs it wouldn’t have gotten that way and wouldn’t have taken so much time and effort to make it at least manageable.

    When I was a young mother and homeowner, we had a vacant lot in our neighborhood that sat empty for several years. It was an unsightly mess until we, as home ownners and neighbors got together and cleaned it ourselves, much as you are doing in this video. We then took turns each week keepping the grass mowed. When the house across the street went vacant, I would mow the grass there, too.
    It was our neighborhood and we all benefitted from keeping things tidy. It amazes me that neighbors will let something like this get so out of control. God bless young people such as yourself! And shame on all the residents around this house for not caring enough about their unfortunate neighbor, and the blight a yard like this casts on their whole neighborhood, to get together and do something about it.

      There’s a lot to this yard mowing story that we don’t know, and the guy sitting in a car doing who knows what can hardly be considered a reliable source. I’ll bet that the “lady in a nursing home”, if she exists, is a renter, not an owner, and that the neighbors aren’t about to help out. If someone owned that house, had lived there for years, and had neighbors who cared, then SB Mowing would have had to find another place to chop up.

    Elderly people would not be living in a house with a garden. At least not one they have to maintain themselves.

    • @Alvan81

      ​ @AccidentallyOnPurpose It's not mandatory that you get ownership. And that process takes many years, assuming it's valid for only front yard only maintenance, not occupancy? Because the city owns the sidewalk & strip..
      More importantly, the neighbors property valuation/livability can be impacted, too.
      I would think even out of selfish reasons an occasional cutback would've been done..

Those neighbors are lazy and selfish. That’s the same reason why they didn’t help that great man that did this incredible work.
      Same goes for the family.
