- This backyard was in bad shape. There was trash everywhere, overgrown grass, a broken fence, bricks, rubble, weeds, a tree that needed to be removed, not to mention the dog poo everywhere. Overall, we took out over 3 tonnes of rubbish, bricks, rubble, metal, plastic, grass, and everything that needed removing, and the job was done over a day and a half. Anything that was left in the yard was needed by the homeowners, and they were very happy with the final result. This is part 2 of 2.
Part 01: • This Place Looked Like...

FAQ's:
Q: Where are you located?
A: I am from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 🦘.
Q: Do you worry about snakes?
A: I have never even seen a snake in over 5 years on the job.
Q: Which equipment do you use?
A: Mostly STIHL power equipment (battery and petrol) and commercial Honda self-propelled mowers.
Q: How much do the jobs cost?
A: Sorry, I prefer not to talk about costs.
Q: Why don't you use tarps instead of bins?
A: Tarps are too difficult to move through small spaces and lift into the trailer. The same for wheelbarrows, they are only good for unloading the trailer!
Q: Why are the hot water cylinders outside?
A: I would say it's because Australia had a temperate to tropical climate, and therefore it doesn't matter that much if they are outdoors. To me, though, it seems a bit inefficient to have them outside in Tasmania with a temperate climate (coldish for 3 - 4 months per year). But that is industry standard down here 🤷♂️
Q: Why don't you have help?
A: I've had many problems with employees in the past, so now I work alone.
Q: Why don't you have a ride-on mower?
A: Well, there are a few reasons.
1. I don't have the right trailer for a ride on, considering I always take away the green waste.
2. I don't have anywhere to store it, as my shed is too small.
3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can't actually get a ride-on on to the properties.
4. I don't do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k AUD on a stander, but it would be nice to have one!
5. I will get one as soon as my transport and storage problems are solved.
Q: What types of ladders do you use?
A: The large one is a Gorilla Adjustable Platform 150kg and the small one is a Gorilla Mighty 19. They are both adjustable.
Q: Who/what is Jim's Mowing?
A: Jim's Mowing is a franchise business. The Jim's Group is the biggest home services franchise in Australia.
Q: Why do you have 2 channels that seem to be the same?
A: Quick Cuts (my original channel) has music in the background. Quick Cuts V2 is for those that like just machine noise, and it doesn't have music.
You can tell that this yard was once part of a happy situation with big ambitions. The beautiful decking, garden beds, privacy fencing. And then life got in the way. Gardening shows were always my favorite to watch on TV. Great job! Watching from Utah.
Yes, I too feel it was a happy garden once. You can see all the possible intended projects. People's situations can change at the blink of an eye. Maybe that's what happened here.
If ever a video disserved a thumbs up it is this one....great job well done.
This cleanup should make you candidates for hardest workers of the year.
I noticed that you hired workers to do this job .
I don’t understand what the point was to remove that healthy tree, a good trim would have sufficed and also maybe a trim back instead of complete removal of the shrubbery along the side.
Because the customer wanted it removed
The backyard looks great on part 1 you did a whole lot of work and then part two it looks much better I hope that you guys get part 3 out soon for more of that backyard cleaning
You mean they don’t complete the redo? Dang
How come you stole my avatar? 🤔
I wish I knew the backstory of this yard. It is obvious that the person that lived there loved gardens and wanted a beautiful yard. They just didnt know the right way to do it and became overwhelmed with everything. Great job on the clean up.
I was thinking the same thing.
I'm wondering if they became ill. Someone cared at one time, for sure. A friend of mine died and was found face down in her garden but she had family who found her and they were there to take care of her home.
Judging by the kids bikes and toys, I get the impression of a family fractured by divorce or loss.
Looks like a foreclosure. Dreams to dust
@@LeoInAMillion M:ooo
As Betty Davis would say " What a dump" and " Fasten your seatbelts, we're in for a bumpy ride". Well done men, hope you got paid good for that one.👍👏👏👏👏
My grandmother just passed away at 94 this year. She would always say sit down and put your seat belt on! She would say it when she had big news or juicy gossip! She was born in 1926, maybe she got it from the other Betty. Her name was Betty too. 🤣
Outstanding job guys! It’s nice to see two people working together. Makes the job less drudgery. Well done!
Talk about a monumental task…….I think part 3 is needed.
that yard definitely needs a part 3 and probably 4 and 5 too, what a total mess. much respect for your effort guys.
Chances are, the homeowner is probably disabled!
I'm wondering, an approximate, what would this job cost?
Great job on this gentlemen 💪💪💪
Or 6 ,7,9 100 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My OCD is triggered. I need for that old lattice to be pulled down.
😄
@@vickijohnson264 truly. why leave that fallen over piece? They did a terrific job otherwise.
Looks like that had once been a much used back garden of a vibrant family……and then something happened. Illness, death, change of the family dynamic (ie divorce), something. Thanks for helping them get that part of their life back…..or at least cleaned out.
It is potentially a beautiful space- really nice deck.
Yeah someone had liked gardening, the raised garden beds and remnants of various other gardening projects could be seen.
Aside from being elderly, disabled or depressed/mentally-ill, nobody has an excuse to let their yard get like this: this is LAZINESS. You guys did an outstanding job, and the homeowners should be grateful, and embarrassed that they allowed things to get to this level. They need a part-time gardener to keep things from getting out of hand again. Jeez!
If it is one of those, I think I one totally understand. I’m 73 and I cannot walk on uneven ground. I cannot push a lawnmower either I have to rely on someone else. I don’t like to ask either. It’s not laziness, it’s difficult I become overwhelmed with the worry of yard work. And paying someone on limited income is stressful (depressing) enough. Two hundred to mow my front yard, and more for my back yard. Try to understand where people are coming from. Hard times, illness, no one to help. or age. Thank you for sharing. Its been enjoying. I had a Good Samaritan mow my yard once. So thank you or your kindness. Have an awesome day!
Ugh shut uupppppp
Part 3 is where you both sit back and have an icy cold beer 🍻 in this backyard 😁👍
😄
@@QuickCuts I think more than one ice cold beer is in order!
Amazing how much stuff was in that yard. Just mind boggling! Fantastic job, guys!
The grass looked like spaghetti, it was that long. Well done, what a huge job that was.
The deck was beautiful against the eyesore yard. Homeowner did seem to have an organized mess. I hope they call you every now and then, to maintain the yard. You are one of the most productive and proficient lawn care professionals.
Thank you :)
You are the bushmaster! I just love how seamlessly you two work together. So meticulously.
It saddens me that at one point this was someone’s dream 💕
I totally agree, those raised veg beds are on my wish list. A very complete clear though, well done lads.
as times goes by, probably anything can happen which may not fulfill our dreams as we are normal human beings..hope we will be lots happier in the hereafter
That should help reduce the amount of creepy crawly critters in the neighborhood
whatever you charged for it, i'm sure IT WAS NOT ENOUGH. lots of respect to you both. not enough people have a clue how demanding this job is.
That's true !
i really like the way you do your job, you are not just cutting grass and trees but you take the initiative of cleaning and taking out the garbage, debris,stuff that are trashed and doesn’t belong to the beautification of the yard. Not like others who only cuts but not making the yard as cleaned and beautiful. Keep up the good work 😊😊😊😊😊
The owners had a beautiful deck but did not care what their yard looked like. Sad. Great job guys!
This is the most satisfying clean-up I've seen in recent months. I can't believe how much junk was hidden under weeds. Seems like this poor yard was abandoned for a very long time.
You can tell this yard was once loved very much. The garden beds, the trellis' of vines etc. Beautiful cleaning it up. Hopefully it can return to its glory one day.
A lot of work, who lets their yard get like that 😙
That’s exactly what I was thinking…
People get sick or disabled or financially drained in many ways. Don't assume laziness automatically.
Older people, like me, on a fixed income, with no external support system.
@@robineast6446 - You don't know that.
Okay for those of you saying, old, sick, disable….that can explain an overgrown yard, but will not excuse a trash filled yard.
This yard appears to have gotten the way it is because of pure laziness. It was disgraceful!
You guys have done an amazing job in cleaning it up…Thank you so much!
Cheers
With all that growing over the fence from the neighbors maybe you could get a bid on their mess.
Well done. I watched part 1 and thought wtf, new looking deck with that mess. You definitely brought their stress level down. The yard has great potential, I hope they can see it and put together a plan to bring them peace.
Yes!!😊
Except for the healthy and expensive plants that were destroyed and could at least has been transplanted by someone who understood their value
The side yard now looks like a disaster. With those rocks in place the owners obviously want to put back a garden again. Could have kept some of those healthy plants in place.
Awesome job! It was great watching all of the different tasks you do and I appreciate you taking the time to separate the loads, there's too much waste out there already 👍🏼👍🏼. Loving this channel!
Welcome 🙂
You did a great job. I hope the people who allowed this to become a disaster don't make it another disaster in 3 months. Good job guys!!!!!
They are a regular customer now, so we will keep it looking nice
Thanks for getting Part 2 out. Appreciation to the owners facing the overwhelm and to you for doing an incredible job of cleaning-up. Liked your showing what tools and maintenance on the tools that you used and the job of sorting the waste, as into metal, and other sites.
Thanks for watching :D
where is part 2??
@@paula1979ps This is part 2.
Im sad about the Acanthus, but know it will grow back. The roots go deep.
Yes! My heart broke when they used the weed eater on them... I would have been devastated if someone cut up my acanthus... I hope they will come back, I've never had mine cut to the ground like that before. The home owner didn't really have them in a good spot, it was a little too narrow for them... but they were still beautiful
I was wincing. I hope it does come back.
Idk what tree was that but sameee. He cut it way too muchh
They wanted it all cleared ready for landscaping! Our company has a work guarantee, if we do something the customer doesn't want, or we make a mistake, we fix it, at our own cost. Do you guys really think I would do something without being asked to do it?
Amazing clean up job! Your hard work and expertise is evident in the results. So enjoyable to watch!!
What an amazing transformation you gents did with that place. Now the homeowners have a place to go outdoors and not be so overwhelmed like they were before you two got there. You gents worked so well together, maintained a sense of humour and great to see what equipment/tools you were using and as well as refilling and replacing parts as needed along with a few closeups. Well done!! :)
Love your music choices. Relaxing while watching such hard work awesome 🤩
That must have been a beautiful & gracious back garden at one time. Clearing it out was awesome but sad.
That was a crazy mower blade.
I hope you got paid well. This is an insane amount of work 😢
That was a mammoth task.The pair of you did a great job and must have been shattered afterwards.
Зачем так кардинально от кустарников и деревьев избавляться??? 😲 Без них же в саду совсем пусто и уныло... 😕🧐 А в остальном, молодцы, чистенько! 👍
Thanks for the comment
It must have been nice at one time. Garden boxes , flower boxes. They did get sick or too old to work.
I was thinking the same thing.. Looks like they tried.. raised beds.. but, the shovel was just sitting there abandoned.. looks like they ‘died in the garden’.. It must have just gotten too much for them. I know the feeling..!! LOL
I would have loved to have those raised bed containers that got dumped at the recycling. 😂 I'm sure that garden was probably lovely once. And can be again. 👍
Foreclosure?
Just busy lives I would say with a young family
Big job
Shame the ladies bike 🚴 and kiddies bike could’ve been put on front lawn so someone could’ve had them instead of the top
I hate the waste
Some people just don’t care about stuff
Great job
Hard working guys Great channel
I’ve enjoyed watching
Cheers
What a fantastic job you did!! It was such a mess and I loved all the hidden treasures you found! LOL!! This yard has tons of potential now to continue your good work!!
That was an epic cleanup. I could watch you two all day..hard work at it's finest..
As my dad jokingly says; I love hard work, I could watch it all day
Just watching how well the two of you work together, each anticipating what the other is doing and doing what needs to be done next. I worked like that at my last job with another gal. It was fluid and very productive.
That was an Archeological Exploration from hell to say the least. Looks 100% better but owner needs you guys to really put some polishing touches on it....good job fellas
Love that deck. Will be beautiful again with a little landscaping. Need to see a part 3.
I told you I was eagerly awaiting part 2 .. LOL .. and here I am .. looks like it just hit the "tube" .. This was a crazy big job ! Awesome work . ! : ]
You were eager, Thank you for your support :D
Looks like my neighbors yard. Wherever they sit it, it stays . No matter what it is.
INCREDIBLE JOB!!! WOW ....and thank you for having nice music to listen to as we watched this transformation.
Well done
Loved watching you cut down the tree and go over the fence also removing the sides on the once vegi garde. Huge mess to clean up, hope you go back for more. Great job guys.👍
You guys are amazingly hard workers and pulled off nothing short of a miracle. I don't understand how someone trashes out their yard like that. Makes one wonder what the interior of the house looks like.
You boys sure know how to give a yard some TLC ❤️🌿 Good on ya.
Hola... debería vivir en ya en un departamento sin patio y alquilar semejante casa....busquele la vuelta y viva tranquilo.😅
I love these videos they're so Great! The only thing that would have made it just slightly better is if the whole place got a pressure wash. So cool.
Tremendos patios de tierra...y no los aprovechan...estos patios si los tuvieran los chinos estarian llenos de verduras para comer.
Hello! I'm a new subscriber from Kalamazoo, Michigan. So satisfying to watch how both of you bring everything back to life again. Very satisfying to watch. The activity brings order and peace to your mind.
And, mmmmmmm. Men at work who care enough to give their best to the task is a real turn on.
Most "men" these days don't compare to your work ethic. Thanks for sharing! 😀👍💗
If people took better care of their yards and plants, this beautiful tree wouldn’t have had to been cut down.
I shouldn’t be so judgmental. Maybe it was an elderly couple who lived here and couldn’t take care of their yard. Or a disabled person. It’s times like these I would hope the community would see the need for help and do something.
Whatever the case, the yard is coming along great.
Absolutely amazing, jobs well done. ‘Sure hope the owners paid for the dump runs. God bless you both for your kindness🇨🇦
I know this was done a year ago, but I sure do hope they paid you guys well.
There is lawn care and then there is backyard junk clean up. BIG difference! Lol
Great job guys!
thinking that quick cuts has never seen what it looks like when a bomb actually destroys something
Thank you owner for the dirtiest yard, bcz of you we are watching a fantastic job.. Great skilled work.
I've been waiting for part 2 all week! Watching your video- what a great start to my Sunday morning! Thanks
You guys did an amazing job. Now that's what I call a yard clean up. Hopefully the homeowner keeps the yard clean. Sowing some grass seed in the bare areas would be nice.
Honey…he just found the shovel
Thank God they’re finally gonna get to have their family reunion after 200 years lol
So much potential in that yard, but they let it all go to waste! I love greenery and trees, but the awful mess that was almost made me cry~
I hate to see the grounds denuded like that, but it's a nice, clean slate to work with now.
people that cant maintain a yard as small as that one should live in condos. How embarrassing for them.
We have NO idea of the circumstances that were in play to let it get to that state. If it was just pure laziness, then yeah, I'd agree......we just don't know. 😕 Hard graft & Great job @Quick Cuts👌👍👏
They probably should, thanks for the comment
got dayum! y'all worked y'all azzes off! I half expected you to find a dead body under all that.
Wow. That was a lot of hard work for the two of you. I’m very impressed with the results. It looks great!
At 10:45 I laughed so hard at the wheelbarrow falling over. I’m sorry lol but I have the exact same wheelbarrow and that exact thing happened to me this arvo except I fell over with it lol so I was mostly laughing at myself again not you blokes but thanks for a great video! You two are awesome workers and make a great team.
So much visual noise going on, and a beautiful transformation.
I hope what ever the owners were going through, this made them feel a lot better.
From personal experience, I had someone come in when I was in the darkest part of my depression and do the very same thing. Now they come on a regular basis.
You have given them the greatest gift.
That yard was horrible. Why would anyone let a yard get like that !!!!!! Trash dump.
Awesome clean up job.
Well done lads, Time for a cold beer. Love from Ireland. 🇮🇪
You must feel so accomplished and tire each and every day.👍🏻
That was a super professional job. Good work 💪
Well done. I could only imagine how exhausting this kind of job would be. I just wish we could see what became of this place afterwards.
Wow! They hired the right crew for this job! Congrats!
I just think wow, the neighbours must be so relieved to get rid of that eyesore!
Get rid of the rocks. Otherwise, they'll just create another big mess.
Hi Diane, they wanted to keep the rocks for landscaping
You both did sooo much great work! God bless you both.
Really enjoyed the vids, thanks.
Não canso de ver os vídeos de vocês, os dois nota 1000
Good job! Years of neglect. Like your music also. 😘
Good job! But I'm shocked that someone can have a garden in such a state, maybe that's not even possible.
Maybe they are elderly & couldn't keep up with it after a while.
Never take down a healthy noninvasive tree, thin it out of branches.
I understand now why certain areas have HOAS.
Одно мне не понятно😱
С одного места перевезли в другое, и также ""удачно"" ЗА-ХЛАМ-ИЛИ. В чем прикол?
Всё не по-хозяйски👛🤔
Thanks for the comment!
Wow, I couldn’t stop watching, great job.
Thank you :)
Forgot to ask b4, where is this? One of my biggest worries in this situation is... what kind of critters are hiding in there? Always leary about that sort of thing, maybe just paranoid??? I've come across a snake or two, I try to be cautious and dress with that in mind!
We only really see small skinks and bugs, maybe the odd spider. Never seen a snake, thankfully, but I have come across a couple of blue tongue lizards
I hope the homeowner enjoys their new space. It's rough getting all those dream projects done when you have kids and life gets hectic. Happy planting in the future.
Hello from California! You all did a fantastic job! So much work and finding things under all that grass and weed mess, looked dangerous. I hope you didn’t go home smelling like poo! Lol… I see you did this in June, is that your Winter season? That’s our Summer season in June here in the states. We have a fantastic gardener for the last 17 years but my husband and I like to keep our front and backyard clean and looking nice during the week and we just had a new backyard patio, a new pergola with a ceiling fan to use on hot days outside and new patio furniture added and a new propane bbq grill, so we can enjoy sitting outside and now have more friends and family come over. My older brother visited Australia when he was in the Navy, he said he met the nicest people there. I would love to visit Australia someday! 😁💖
Hello, yes, June is the first month of winter down here 🙂✌
I would be so scared of finding a brown snake.
scared of finding a dead body!!!
@@maryjanecleland1731 dead body not gonna bite you
Spiders, rats and mice!
I have an understanding with the snakes - I leave them alone and they leave me alone 🙂
@@QuickCuts 😂😂😂
They are great workers. I can’t get over that they threw away the tall plant in the square pot. A lot of people would pay for that succulent. Oh well.
Outstanding work. All that accomplished in a day and a half is amazing. I can't help but think within a year's time it will look much the same. I fear there are serious issues issues with the property owner.
What a job.. lots of hard work on this one.... appreciate the vids, the work, and your vid skills...
Cheers 🙂
Got to ask. You removed some of the trellis but stopped at the broken bit. Was that a customer request?
Removing the lattice wasn't part of the quote, the bit we did was extra for no extra charge :)
Shocking there is a family actually living there. I thought it was an abandoned house. Unbelievable state that yard ! You guys are brave souls taking that on! Great work!
Thanks for showing the tools you used...and those you found! 😀 I had no idea there were raised beds in that yard! Nice work!
What a bloody awesome transformation guys, love your attention to detail.
If the same people live there the yard will be back to the same crap condition in about 3 years.
Thanks for the comment
You two work very hard and you work Great as a team. Awesome job you’re doing.
