I am from Brazil. I really like your work and your videos. Just a question. In your country, don't you use a hoe? It would be much easier to pull out the grass roots stuck in the concrete than to push with a shovel. Congratulations and keep making more videos.
It really is a different time we live in. He cleans up yards for free, gets ad revenue from TH-cam and invests that money back into his community. A true legend. Keep up the great work.
I wouldn't say he does it for free. He seeks out these properties. This has had 7.9 million views. He has made a minimum of $8,000 on this one project. This far exceeds what he would have been paid to do this. I applaud his entrepreneurship and cleverness, and this is indeed an "everyone wins" situation, but I'm not sure we should be appointing him a saint, which appears to be what most commenters want to do.
I am a disabled marine veteran who once kept everything trimmed and neat but now 66 and many medical issues I hate going out of doors in my yard because I can not do what I once could, there are hundreds if not thousands of disabled veterans like me, this community is blessed to have a young man in their community who does this. Too him and others who give time and effort freely for a good cause God Bless You
Kindness is so rare that people react to it with suspicion, assuming they're being conned. "I'm doing it because it needed to be done" is something no one ever hears.
You need a mask on; I'm a 30 year RN I know what I'm talking about plus all of that dirt, pollen, and poison ivy oil going into your lungs❗It's a wonderful thing you are doing, and I wish I could find a yardman with your work ethics. ❤
I’m old enough to be your mom so I’m sending advice from a mom. Wear a mask to keep from sucking all that dirt in through your nose and ear protectors. My husband (an electrician) is now having to get hearing aids because he never protected his ears a long time ago. Happy mowing.👏👏👏👏👏👏
Well said. I am glad. You wear the ear plugs, hope you will start wearing a mask and goggles to boot. Having had negative experiences with doing jobs when I should have been protective gear, I thought I would offer my suggestions as well.
I never understood why people who own property (that they do not live in, and cannot care for) don't just sell it and allow someone else to fix it up? Too many homes left "abandoned" that could be turned into a nice home for someone else.
Oh, wow, my mom wont sell her moms property either - but she and my dad go mow and maintain it. I just dont ask questions - but that's a thing??? I didn't know that was a thing - where people keep inherited property - jeez, I'm kind of relieved, thank you guys for mentioning
Yeah thats a new one for me but i guess people dont want to see their childhood homes outside of the family. I also think its sad to see the properties go into the abandoned title
Rule # 1, never get angry at a man with a leaf blower. My uncle learned the hard way and lost a hat once. RIP Bass Pro Shop hat, we'll always remember you.
Bro, your community owes you millions. When prospective buyers drive through a neighborhood and see lots like this, they usually cringe and want nothing to do with a home in the neighborhood. Your work raises the property value of the entire community. A rising tide raises all ships. Well done.
Though the neighbour might be thinking that he has now got the extra Greenwaste to clear that I see the gardener throwing ontop of the lawn a lawn is still no dumping ground even if the waste is green and mostly grass and soil it will make the lawn messy lumpy. I see moving one problem and making another, best bit is the gaining of a path but please for a proper job the green waste goes in the bin or for compost and not to mess up/be dumped on the lawn.
@@trevor5485 not only does he not rake he then goes and throws green waste on top from the path. Not at all right for the health and usefulness and beauty of a lawn. Damage of dumped green waste, in the garden, I lot of effort to make a bad garden still.sadly it needs more work I don't see the need to bother if the result is no progress I see no progress here because he has made nearly as much work as the work done as a customer the gardener has not helped me get a better garden he has only done 75%of the job. I would be upset on the deal to me clearing a path does not mean or inc I want waste dumped on my lawn payment is for the path clear not to now have to find someone to clear the lawn to.on camera is interesting here it is probably flytiping on technicality to leave that waste. Mulch is not random waste from path clearance as and when you want.
Keep up the great work! You are a wonderful example and inspiration for people to see just how big of a difference one motivated person can make. You are a great human being.
Do you wonder why he puts a camera? He is smart. 8.8 million views represents $100,000 USD paid by TH-cam. The few hours he invested cleaning, plus all the video editing is worth. This guy is making serious money by being kind. Good for him!!
@@TenisAmador yep it's more like $35,000 but stillllllllllllll... and funny to see donations on top lol, not to mention his company advertising. imagine how much it would cost to reach this many people. all good on him
You did a better job then paid contractors I've hired. His grandmother is looking down on you from heaven, and sending you many well deserved blessings I'm sure.
I'm sure that's a priority on her mind if that was a thing lol. The lawn getting mowed. I'm sure that guy sure appreciated it though. His voice got real soft after he realized there was nothing sketchy going on. Poor dude is just old and it's hard work.
@@BeepBeepJohnny it's not because the lawn is getting done. this guy is doing a good, selfless deed - towards her family too - and that's why they said he will receive blessings.
I wouldn’t really call this a confrontation at all - the guy didn’t know what was going on - and within 10 seconds seemed grateful - overall just very positive all around
Its a confrontation, just not remotely angry. I've noticed a lot of people like to rag on the homeowners. Some of these get framed in a way that he's offering help and everyone else is miserable person. Where as from an outside perspective, it is very bizarre. Imagine having cameras setup on your land without any permission, and its his deceased mothers house. All he seemed was a little confused. Now at the same time, SB Mowing is doing good work, but executes the follow through and framing of titles piss poor. It gives me this weird vibe of arrogance or something. Like I am doing you a favor, how dare you question things that are strange when neighbors call concerned. My audience has my back and ill show you!
The owner might have thought somebody was squatting on his property, which can turn into a real mess including adverse possession. The owner was right to 'confront' the person on his property and good thing it turned out to be one GOOD GUY with a mower and other landscaping tools.
Great man hard work! His videos have up to 12 M visualizations but look at subscribers....very very low numbers. Why? So many People just don't care! Subscribing is not a "corporal effort"... It's just acknowledging and recognizing. Just saying.
I totally agree. If I were to do what he did for the neighborhood (and I am a lazy worm working behind my computer at home all year long), there is a real chance that it will take me a whole week to recover from one afternoon's yard work.
This tugs at my heartstrings. I'm 52 years old and as a man, as we get older, it's hard to ask for help and hard to accept help. We still have our pride. So to see you being so kind and professional to another man really meant a lot to me. You're a special person. I wish you all the success in the world.
@@subhabaskaran1849 Until you learn the value of "pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps" you'll never understand. It's the same principle as "“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”. Having pride is not asking anyone for a fish, but learning to fish for myself.
Or, as he said, thinking it was a city worker there to clean it up and charge him. I'm sure you wouldn't look twice if someone started mowing your lawn.
@Curtis the Moonboy; ABSOLUTELY AGREE. I destress watching these guys doing this onderful service to strangers. THERE ARE GOOD PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I am 71 and recently unusually hi snow levels had the whole neighborhood snowed in for weeks. Like you, a kind neighbor cleared snow from my gas meter to keep my gas flowing. I know firsthand how much a little kindness can mean. Thank you for doing what you do. The mower is also really cool.
That is true, im divorced and closing in on 65 I have great neighbors on each side of me to help with out side work like mowing the weed eating, cleaning gutters etc.
Assuming you're in the sierra nevada area? I'm in Tahoe and the Snow this season was honestly insane!! Super glad to hear that your neighbor helped you all out!
@Tim Cooper Having snow built up around your gas meter can cause problems if the snow freezes around the meter and forms ice. The ice increases pressure on the gas lines and gas meter and there are cases where this has caused damage to the meter. So energy companies always recommend you keep the snow cleared from around your gas meter and any gas lines that are above ground.
You have a great demeanor bro. People get nervous nowadays because no one does something for free. Well you do and that’s a beautiful thing. Keep doing you. It’s so nice to see this.
You're totally right. If someone wanted to do something 'for free', I would be very suspicious and wouldn't let them. There are too many home scams. If they said outright that they wanted to film for their channel, I'd agree.
He isnt going around helping people while not filming is he. While what he does is fucking amazing, it isnt for free. Especially with the intent of monetizing it on YT
You're a good man with a good heart, and with great Christian values. Most people would not do things like this, it's good to see. I Believe in "pay it forward" and this here is a great example of that. I hope you have continued success in your life and that your JB Mowing Company is continually successful.
God Bless you for all that you do. I’m 80 & hardly recognize this America, but you are the kind of person that once made “ America Great”. Keep it up, and maybe others will start to follow your example, maybe not in yard work, but they’ll think of another way to bring America all the way back to where it was, when most everyone gave a darn about the country their men & women fought & died for. They want to have us fighting over our skin colors, but it’s always just been the difference between our characters that really matters. 🙏❤️🇺🇸
Some people don't have any money to move so how could they afford to even do something for free? This has to have direct and indirect costs enough to stop a broke person
this guy is truly a wholesome man. Not only does he take it on himself to clean up the yard. he proceeds to ask what else they want done. Keep it up man. Wish you all the success.
Considering that he made somewhere between 15k to 40k USD just from this video alone... I'm pretty sure he has an incentive to find houses to clean up from the "goodness of his heart"... It's a win-win, I guess.
Would he have done the same in a time where he couldn't make youtube money with it? I HIGHLY doubt it. He's just one of many pseudo altruistic virtue signaling youtube 304 money makers.
@@Mamba-KushFinally, it's nice to see someone else commenting this instead of me! My info is that TH-camrs get about $4K per M views. He's making a killing financially. Good for him and some people get help along the way. But it's good to see some people see the real story.
I am not from the USA and I have a question. Why do so many properties get abandoned or neglected like this? If the owners are not going to live in it, renovate it and/or rent it out, why don’t they sell? It is sad to see places that were habitable just go to wrack and ruin. We have a housing shortage where I live and any house is snapped up when it goes on the market. In whatever state if disrepair, people will buy it and renovate to live in. Thanks for doing such a great job to keep neighbourhoods tidy. ❤
From someone who does live in the US the economy is about to crash. No one really had money and the few who do aren't spending it on repairing random houses because they're too busy buying gold toilets or whatever the wealthy do so their wealth never leaves their own family. The median home price is currently about $450,000 (I don't know where you are or I'd put in the convertion but that's an almost unattainable amount of money for the dwindling middle class and completely unattainable for everyone else) for like 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. A property like this would still sell for $2-300,000 and then you'd have to spend another couple hundred thousand repairing it and there's no guarentee it would turn out right and even if it does you've not spend $500,000 and you don't have any money for furniture or basic nessesities. Most people don't even make $100,000 in a whole year. My husband for instance is considered "well paid" and makes half that and were still living paycheck to paycheck and have no ability to save any money. We're the average situation for the most part. People like us don't even day dream about owning a home let alone fixing one up, it's just impossible with the money we have. Then there's the people that do still live in houses like this. Because of how high the cost of living is literally everywhere in the US people can't always afford to keep up. If they don't know how to handle cutting the trees and bushes themselves they can't afford to pay someone else to do it. Or of their lawnmower breaks it could be months before they have the money saved up to either fix it or buy a new one. It's called being "house poor" which just means you actually have a house and now you're broke most of the time because you're shoveling most of your income into the house and what little you aren't is going directly to feeding yourself and your family. People like that often have multiple jobs as well so when you've worked 16 hours that day you don't really want to come home and mow the lawn and cut the bushes and everything and if you actually have the same days off for both jobs most people would rather sleep in. Basically the situation is really really bad here financially and it's starting to show up in places you don't always think it would. If you go to any city there's often whole neighborhoods that look like this or worse and every house is occupied and lived in every day. SB just manages to find actually abandoned properties for the most part it seems
It doesn't help that mortgage lenders are super picky. I was looking to buy a 70k house. I had a 750 credit score and a co-signer and I was turned down by every single major mortgage company. I could have had 70k in cash and they would have said no. People paying 2000 a month in rent are turned down for 500 a month mortgages. In the end, I found a local bank and a local home insurance place. They can't afford to be picky since they don't do the same volume as the bigger companies.
Bank or companies repossess, then don't want to pay to keep properties up, same with some real estate people. Property valuations are lower for tax purposes. Also sometimes when a property becomes 'blighted' and declared that way by a city, developers get TIF money to redevelope it. Which is basically a corrupt scheme to get tax payers to fund part of their projects.
That is mighty hard physical work. What a fantastic caring person he is. I bet his mother is proud of him. He has been brought up to be a caring person and think of other people. Well done Mum you have a great son there.
@kutatm in order to sell a house, usually, you have to fix the house up to certain standards, which usually means spending a lot before you can even sell
If I was a neighbor I would have taken you drinks and baked goods to show my appreciation for all your hard work to upgrade my neighborhood. You are a absolute sweetheart!!
I often think the same, UK is no "better or worse" than USA but we always offer a "brew" to any workers. Often accompanied by a wrapped chocolate cookie of some kind. I have never seen this on You Tube but I'm sure many people are kind.
i do this for my mowers and my garbage man. I keep a mini fridge by the back door in all my airbnb rentals and when they're there they can grab anything they want from the fridge. a happy worker is a great worker
Sometimes it is hard to convince people probably due to the sentimental value and probably because they don't even know where to start (where to put those furniture and other things that they don't want to sell / evaluate what they should fix and what they should leave to the next owners, etc.). There are cases when the whole situation causes them so much stress that they simply put their heads in the sand. Sometimes these people need someone in their family to organize the whole process for them or have them facing the reality that they need help. Sometimes they do go there to cleanup on a regular basis with a plan to sell it in the future, they just don't realize that there is too much to do and they never going to complete it in their own tempo.
Seriously!!! That’s a Very Nice property for maybe a young couple to come in to and rehab. Great Project home. So much potential. The Son who now owns it Unfortunately has Zero idea of what he is letting go to waste due to his either laziness, or just plain lack of concern for that property.
I don't know why - but this is incredibly satisfying watching you clean up this place. You are setting such a wonderful example for others as well. Thank you !
I’m a 78 yr old Marine vet and still doing my yard…and everything everyone has said is admirable to say the least, so I won’t repeat it all. What I’m most impressed with is your use of the tools of your trade and how in the world do your hands hold up without the use of a good pair of gloves on the whole time…I did see some at the end, though !!?? God bless you!😢
I'm a 57 year old nobody with a serious heart disease and I have to pay people to dig my garden ready for spring, it sux. In Australia nobody does anything for free!
This guy is caring AND smart. He’s inspiring all of us to watch this 30+ minute video of him doing tedious gardening work (and I’m watching as my own gardener is working in my yard while I ignore him!) AND he’s selling commercial space. He’s doing good AND doing well. I love this kid! He’s a genius!
And this is not fun "gardening". He is not digging holes in a mansion to plan thousand dollar shubberies. NO, this is a OLD property, neglected for a decade or more. He is scraping up YEARS of neglect! This is hard work. I have done this on old run down urban tenements
Are the same troll I just responded to or are you another. Why are you obviously angry that someone makes money. How miserable are you that your statement even comes into your mind? No need to show the world what you are. It's obvious .
@@patrciaclemons8183 so youre mad that you provided him ad revenue by watching the video? If no one watched this he’d still be cleaning the neighborhood. He waged his hour of work and free labor against the hopes of getting recognition on TH-cam. That’s admirable.
I was in a wreck 3 yrs ago that left me with injuries I still deal with. So for the past few years my yard has returned back to nature lol. If this sweet person popped up in my yard to help I think I'd cry. Beautiful job btw!
@@GUITARTIME2024 Maybe she can't afford to. There can be a lot of extra expenses when you've got injuries and chronic pain that aren't covered by insurance, and if she's on disability, there's probably not much, if any extra spending money, especially in Biden's economy.
Your heart of service and compassionate empathy is bursting at the seams in this video. I loved seeing the flag appear when you couldn’t even see it. You are showing others how an act of kindness can improve the lives of many, the home owner, the neighbors, and the community walkers. Keep up the greatness you are supplying by looking beyond the possibility of neglect, and just wanting to improve a situation.
I used to help my dad with his lawn care business and I know how much hard work this is! All I can say is bless you for all you do and may it come back to you 10 fold! Amazing work because it’s sad to see what was once loved and beautiful decayed. Thank you. ❤
Great comment… I was thinking the same about the hard work and all the memories made in this once loved home. Also, it’s so nice that SB does this kind of work. “Hard Work” at that. Phew…
@anita miller LOL😄 yup, ole Nosey Nancy across the street can't gossip about how bad the tall grass and weeds are AND how the owner's mother NEVER let the yard look so horrible. Lol😀
@John An overgrown yard invites pests into the area that might not be there otherwise and can have an impact on property values if a neighbor is trying to sell - it can have an actual negative impact on the neighbors. This yard was kind of ugly to look at but not in the category of extremely overgrown in my opinion.
Its not just that you do this freely, but that you do it SO THOROUGHLY WELL... freely. You dont cut corners, you dont half ass. You treat these jobs with the meticulous care and effort as any paying job would demand... from your heart. You sir, are a different breed. We need more like you.
You inspired me to help clean up the beaches near me, specifically Pensacola beach and the Pensacola bay bluffs. I got out on weekends when I can and pick up as much trash as I can cause the county only cleans certain sections but theirs miles of beach line that don't get a glance let alone a second look. I've collected 200 bags worth in 2 weekends so far and plan to keep going
This work is a tremendous example of helping improve a neighborhood. Neglecting yard work and landscape can easily get our of hand and make a neighborhood look bad. You clearly make a difference. Most of us are experienced DIYers, so we know what it takes to trim, cut and edge. Cannot say enough about your good work and example. Well done 👏
Now that it's looking nice maybe the owner will put the property on the market? He said he had been sick. I do all my own yard work and always loved it. Mine got out of control because I had a severe heart attack. I still try my best but I fall short of spending the time working in the yard now that I once did. I pray I can some day be able to do more.
He must be out of pocket as it costs to run those machines, as well as his fuel to get to the property plus time. Hope people contact him and give his mowing company some paid jobs.
Oh my word, you have become my idol over any celebrity. I am a kiwi from New Zealand and you remind me of my son in so many ways, hardworking and never stops til the job is done and has compassion for people just like you. You are indeed a legend! Now on that note, I gotta go mow my lawns lol
I know first hand the various struggles people go through that lead to houses sitting empty. I deeply appreciate your mission. Please apply this towards someone in need. Thank you.
Dude, I was a landscaper all through H.S and college. You're an ANGEL and an asset to any community. You'll be blessed for your good deeds. Thanks for being YOU!
My Man told me he supported himself through his college years doing landscaping and maintenance in sunny South Florida during the summer AND winter months. I showed him this video and when he found out that this was a free labor of love, he was impressed by this boys work ethic. Y'all don't know how much it takes to get that level of praise out my husband. He's a man not easily impressed but this time he truly was. Ya have to be grateful that there are men like this still doing the Lord's work.
Not true. There are people doing good for others every day and most of the people who voluntarily help, who I know personally, are not religious. Many, like myself, are atheist.
@@_Majoras ... So the people who receive his services without charge are not benefiting at all? LOL. K. So what if he has sponsors and individuals donate to keep him going.
This video goes to show that to contribute to society you don’t need to be a fireman, a doctor or paramedic, donate money to the poor or feed the needy. This young man’s act of kindness goes a long way! We need more people like that in the world. Way to go! Great job at helping others!
Did he contribute or did he violate basic property rights ? W/o permission he's an intruder and malefactor. His unevidenced *presumption* that the property was abandoned is pure personally bias - non-factual. Call the city or stop violating other ppl property rights.
@Steve Alexander Did you not catch in the beginning when he said he knocked on multiple neighbors' doors to double-check and was told it was abandoned? So, your assertion that he "assumed" is inaccurate. Go do something positive for someone else instead of being a hater/troll.
@@stevealexander8010 I am alone and I'm now 66 yrs old. I had a heart attack and have very little strength, energy or funds. Some days I look out my window and want to just cry because the yard I've always took such care of and was so proud of is in such poor shape now. I don't want people to think I don't care or don't want to be a good neighbor. I do the best I can. I would thank God for just 1 hour of help like this. I raised my babies here and I'm not ready to move but sometimes I get overwhelmed and the yard work gets behind. This is a blessing this man is bestowing on a fellow human. Maybe now that the property is once again manageable, he'll consider selling? It must be hard to decide that since his folks lived there before? It's not rented out. It's vacant. No matter what the first intention was or was not, both men ended up blessed. That's what counts in the end.
@@stevealexander8010 but did he contribute? The answer is YES HE DID. The city would eventually do that work and would have sent the owner a ridiculous bill and if he didn't pay it they'd probably have put a lien on the property. God usually sends help whether the helper even realizes he blessing someone at first or not.
You young man are an inspiration and a blessing. I stumbled across this in my feed and couldn't believe my eyes! What you did for that elderly man not to mention for the neighborhood is just amazing. I'm a 65 year old woman who lives with my 75 year old disabled husband and we used to take very good care of our 5 acre property until illness forced us indoors and unable maintain it. We struggle to find decent, honest workers, to just weed whack the acre around our house we pay each visit, they're $60 an hour each for 2 to run a weeder and believe me they do nothing else! They go super slow and never touch a shovel, blower or anything. They can't ever do a job under 10 hours in 2 days, where we used to do in 4 hours! We keep having to advertise for others because nobody comes on a regular schedule, just when they need money. Some have used our equipment then left with it! I wish we had honest hard workers like you. God bless you sir.
I bet that house was the best on the block at one time. I bet the owner left feeling good that someone, especially a young person would give back to a total stranger. I've been in those shoes several times with illness and needing help but never asked. It's great that their are people like you that jump into help. Almost looks like an original farm house. The lot is bigger and the homes are on regular sized lots.
@@experienceprecision5406 I really don't understand why people think this is a selfless act. Fair play to him for doing it but he's there to make money.
If that property had a conscience, it'd feel like it's getting a second chance at life. What a gift you gave this man. Big improvement for the neighborhood, too. Every community you touch, turns into gold. You've blessed many people with your time and skills. What generosity and passion in what you do. I wish we could all be so selfless and giving.
Great job! I’m sure that neighborhood appreciates your hard free work even if they might not thank you. I pray that you are not allergic to poison ivy! I am and I could not have tackled this huge job. Thank you!
My husband does yard work as a side job. He’s got a few yards and two churches; so I know all the work you do is very labor intensive, and the money involved in maintaining the equipment. You are very generous, kind, and hard-working! Thank you for sharing this with the world. It’s so satisfying watching an overgrown yard become a thing of beauty once again.

I’m trying to figure out why I find this so satisfying and relaxing to watch. I used to work in construction and loved the fact that you could see a tangible result in a day’s work. Maybe that’s it. I love the progress. And the fact that you’re doing it for the good of the community is incredible. Well done
It's simple, watching people work while you yourself do nothing is satisfying because you are not the one doing the hard work. Also watching someone do any skilled task will be entertaining.
I held onto my parent’s house for years before I could actually go in, clean it up, have a guy come in and sell all the other belongings I didn’t keep. Even then, I did a lot of crying. I grew up in that house and it held many memories. You did an excellent job cleaning up that property.
My Mother wanted the Family Home sold and split between my Brother & I I grew up there with my Mother mostly because my Daddy passed when I was 10. The new owners completely changed the landscape & house... Doesn't look the same anymore but I am so happy they are taking care of it. P.S. I miss my Mother Every second & will probably never ever quit grieving (R.I.P. 1925-2013) 🙏💝
We couldn’t wait to sign it over to our younger brother. Good riddance, I tell my daughter to sell asap once we’re gone, I don’t want her to feel obligated to hang on to the past.
Sometimes when we get old and overwhelmed, when everyone before us has passed we don’t have the strength or the energy to keep up with it anymore, and we sit in our comfort zone thank God for SB and people like him
@@stevealexander8010 he could have called the police on the guy working but why cut his nose off to spite his own face? Now maybe owner will sell while the property looks nice and that works for everybody?
@@stevealexander8010 I mean, if you leave your property to be overgrown, your house falling apart, and half your neighbors have never even seen you, what do you expect? Your willing to pay the taxes for this property property that your otherwise ignoring, but you’re mad at someone trimming the yard for free?
I don’t think the man was mad. Just concerned that someone was on his property. I’m sure he has many memories in his Grandmothers house. Makes it hard to part with it if you have a sentimental bones in you. Perhaps there was too much work needing to be done to sell it. No one knows the true meanings why people let houses sit. I would have to say that whatever this young man is making on his videos. Kudos to you!! Your heart is in the right place and you are working your butt off. Hoping you did not poison ivy. You are awesome. Don’t listen to anything the haters say.
This is a hard working man right here. I can't believe the surrounding homeowners couldn't collect $ 10 or $ 20 each to give. Not only for his time, which he could be making bank, he also raised their appeal and maybe the property value. God Bless You Sir, ain't many like your integrity left in this old world. Howard
There was an Athletic Greens ad in the middle of this video. Homie is getting paid, so no worries about the neighbors not chipping in! My view and your view of this video actually helped pay this guy via ads.
This is only the second video of yours that I’ve watched. Literally came across your channel for the first time about 90 minutes ago lol. What you’re doing for people is very generous and thoughtful. And you’re making the neighborhood look much better as well. I can just imagine how worn out your body is by the end of the day! Physical labor like this is no joke! As far as the home/property goes… I can just imagine that this place was very well kept by “Grandma and Grandpa” back in the day. Looks like a prime piece of property in the neighborhood…corner lot, flat yard. And I’m sure the house was very homey and welcoming for all the kids and grandkids over the years. Thank you @SBMowing for making a difference in the world today. May you be blessed tenfold for the hard work, kindness and generosity you’re putting into these communities.
Mad respect to you!!! Back in the 90s in New Zealand this was common, neighbors doing there neighbors lawns etc, we all helped each other out , nowadays in this new world , it ain't so easy to , nothing but respect to you, bless 🙂🙌
"Am I my brother's keeper?" This amazing young man answers that question in the affirmative! Proving that there are still good people in this world. *standing ovation*
Don't ever be discouraged for a good deed. The owner seemed gracious, once he realized who you were, but I'm certain that would also catch me off guard. Thank you for doing what you do. My husband is our county's zoning enforcement officer, so I know how few and far between these acts are. ❤
With a few thousand dollars I think you could get that house up to par for people to live in it, its a shame that what could be a good house for someone to live in is vacant out of laziness. I know this older gentleman has health issues but he should just pay for the issues to get fixed so he can sell the house. Hopefully getting the yard fixed will make it easier for him to sell the house.
Well this was entertaining 😂 Between the homeowner and the poison ivy most of us would have walked away. You stayed and made it look like a home again! Bless your heart 🙏❤️
The fact that you not only do this for free but also offered to walk around the property with him so he could show you everything else he would like done was amazing. The world needs more selfless people like you 💜
He gets way more money from TH-cam than he would being paid. Plus I don't know if he actually owns his own business but if so this is easy publicity. Still TECHNICALLY he is doing this for free so yea kudos to him what a chad
I have never understood why people hang on to sellable property and just let it ruin to half its worth. You clearly helped out someone in need, he prob cant physically keep it up. You totally caught him off guard with a good deed! You just increased the value of the home, judging by the looks of things he is not going to be able to help keep it up to neighbors standards, I am sure the neighbors were thrilled to see life there. I kept waiting for you to find a yellow jackets nest! if you did not have poison ivy all over you it would be a miracle. you sir are a rare breed!
I love that you do this for your community! The little gramma that used to live there is probably smiling down on you from heaven for caring for her old house. I don't know where you live but I hope that wherever you are folks let your mayor know about what you are up to. You work so hard and you deserve a huge award of appreciation. What a wonderful young man you are!
@@fortnitesexman Do you realize that you're suggesting that the city keeps poison ivy on trees literally next to a sidewalk used by children and disabled people that don't know what poison ivy is or looks like ??? Not to mention pets that sniff everything.
How awesome you tipped Cory! 👍😊. All the neighbors should too. Nice to know that people still do good deeds in this crazy world. Then again the only thing thats truly crazy is the US government.
I don't know who the original youtuber was that started this trend, but it has spread all over and now there are many lawncare channels that do this for people and it's awesome to see. I know that they say that the things we do for people we shouldn't advertise, but honestly, seeing kindness is one of the ways it spreads. And ya'll do it with full hearts and humility. I appreciate what all you guys are doing
@@TH-camcansuckmycock the trend of starting a TH-cam channel making a lawn care channel, is what she specifically said if you didn’t have the attention span of a squirrel. Also, to the main poster, this trend started because of money, not because of the goodness in peoples hearts.
You couldn't have picked a better person to learn from. His meticulous attention to detail amazes me every time. All the best and every success with your business.
This is the prime example why people shouldn't go around assuming. Regardless, it turned out well and you did another great job. This crazy world can use more people like you, thank you for being a good hearted person despite the reception you got in this case.
To be fair, SB didn't secure permission to work on the property. He assumed it would be OK. The front of my property is an ugly hedge of blackberry and salmonberry bushes. I would be extremely angry if I came home and you had cut it down. It's a natural barrier that keeps my kids/dogs in the yard.
I don't think anyone assumed anything, but of course, reasonable minds can differ. IMO, the neighbor did the right thing by calling the owner, the owner did nothing but ask what was happening, and Spencer explained himself and offered help. All good, all around. No harm, no foul.
@@devilman3806 Every house I’ve owned, I’ve had some sort of natural barrier just inside the property line. In one house, I had a chain link fence (there when I bought it and also enclosed an inground pool) with grapevines on it. It grew alongside the neighbors driveway which, incidentally they had built a foot onto my property and I had them sign a boundary agreement so they were definitely aware that the fence was completely on my property. I came home one day to find the wife had decided she didn’t like the looks of the grapes and vines on my fence so she cut them all down and chopped the roots! I actually used the grapes for jam and cut the vines back every year to use for wreaths. Same house, other property line (corner lot so only two lines) I had a beautiful, tall, well-trimmed hedge growing well within my property line. No part of it encroached on my neighbor’s yard. I liked the height and kept it at 6 foot because it provided privacy for the pool. Came home from work one day and it was suddenly 3 feet tall with no green on top. That neighbor decided he didn’t like the hedge, even though it was on the side of his house he never used. He had the audacity to tell me I was lucky because his original plan was to cut it to the ground!😮 In my next house, there was a natural growing hedge on one side of my backyard, not formally cut, just a series of flowering bushes such as lilacs, bridal wreath, etc. Again, it sat well within the line and didn’t encroach on the neighbor’s property. She decided she wanted to put up a fence and mistakenly believed the bushes were the property line, so she cut them all down except the three she hadn’t reached before I got home and caught her. She hadn’t bothered to have a survey first and never mentioned it to me. I showed her my copy of my survey and all she said was, “Oops! I guess that’s what happens when you just assume things.” 😮 I don’t even want to discuss my current neighbors who actually took down a portion of my split rail fence which sits 3 feet inside the property line…
@@JayeEllis I agree. Everyone acted reasonably. I do wish, though, that these angels who want to help would stop referring to these houses as abandoned, though. Most aren’t abandoned - but they ARE vacant or unoccupied. They have owners who should have the right to choose whether work is done on their properties and exactly what work is done. It’s a 5 minute Google search to find the owner and maybe another 5 minutes to find the phone number.
My wife at the time and I once spent the day clearing ice off the foot path as people were getting hurt. Several nasty little people heckled us for being responsible citizens and doing something nice. It didn't deter us, but I did lose a little faith in humanity that day. Why would you want to stop someone helping others? I just don't understand it, unless it demonstrated to them how selfish and bitter they are, for they certainly demonstrated that to us.
@@ruthriv7713 it was a grumpy gammon that didn't want people putting themselves out for the greater good because they were already cynical and broken and probably believed in Thatcher's lie that society doesn't exist. It's sad, but that's the English gammon for ya!
Wow, the City needs to repave that sidewalk for it is a tripping hazard! You did a mighty fine job restoring it as much as possible as well as all the yard work!!!
@mauriceharting5877 sadly many municipalities require the homeowner to keep and repair sidewalks as they are usually not on the ‘right of way’ causing the owner to bear full responsibility 😢
@@BellesDreams I think legally the sidewalk in on City property and they are responsible for installation and/or replacement. I think one could run into legal trouble if the homeowner replaced the concrete sidewalk on City property since it does not belong to the homeowner. Now if the homeowner's property line goes right up to the street curb that would be a different story.
Los vecinos nunca llamaron al dueño para que limpiara su propiedad, pero vino este buen Samaritano❤ y les hace el favor al propietario y a la comunidad y entonces si lo llaman a chismear. “De Malagradecidos está empedrado el camino al Infierno “ 🤨 si señor! 😏
What an incredible gift you’ve given to the neighborhood! It just makes me so sad to see that darling home abandoned. With that enormous yard it should be filled with children’s laughter and joy. Looks picture perfect now!
You are one amazing person! This homeowner should really appreciate the BIG heart you have! We need more people like you! Thanks for being the role model, you are!
The homeowner knows his game as I’m sure it was all setup beforehand, if the homeowner came unannounced the first thing he’d ask is why are you filming?
I found you on TikTok and now you came up on my TH-cam. I watch at least one of your videos each day and I want you to know why. You are healing me. I was in a situation that went bad. Before I was “extracted” from an abusive, unhealthy situation, I ended up on a rural property that was overgrown and scary looking. Each time I see you clean up an overgrown property, it shows me that I can come back to a better life. That healing is available to me. I just wanted you to know that you never know why someone is drawn to your content. 🙏🏻

That’s a BIG JOB. Especially for 1 person. Good thing you’re recording it. Another 20-25 years, you’ll be amazed that you had the energy and strength to do that all yourself.
After you are done, wld be the best time for the owner to put the house up for sale. It will definitely be easier to sale with the property being manicured & not over grown with grass & weeds. What you do for ppl in such a blessing. God bless u for what u do.
I am old. Life isn't the way It was when I was a kid. Everyone knew everybody else. If someone was having troubles, the neighborhood pulled together to help . I truly believe in what you are doing. One person helping can make a huge difference in a person's life. Keep on doing good. That man knows he was blessed today. 😊❤🙏
Wow! That had to spike your "Oh, no!" factor fast when the home owner walked up to you. I was so happy to see how he opened up to you and took your kindness for what it was in the end. You did a fantastic job with all of the broken concrete throughout the entire yard. This was a tremendous transformation in the end, great job!

I am from Brazil. I really like your work and your videos. Just a question. In your country, don't you use a hoe? It would be much easier to pull out the grass roots stuck in the concrete than to push with a shovel. Congratulations and keep making more videos.
no. not when you don't get consent from property owners!
Pretty sure that is called trespassing.
that there are people out there like this... makes me so happy
do you know anyone in London? my neighours garden needs a trim, attracting too many mice
It really is a different time we live in. He cleans up yards for free, gets ad revenue from TH-cam and invests that money back into his community. A true legend. Keep up the great work.
It's like a form of charity work where people don't directly pay, great way to help the community
I wouldn't say he does it for free. He seeks out these properties. This has had 7.9 million views. He has made a minimum of $8,000 on this one project. This far exceeds what he would have been paid to do this. I applaud his entrepreneurship and cleverness, and this is indeed an "everyone wins" situation, but I'm not sure we should be appointing him a saint, which appears to be what most commenters want to do.
...by creating click bait titles like this one. The owner was friendly and not angry

i think it has more to do with setting up multiple cameras and recording it than it does with that actual yard work which i completely understand
@@skantewarrior522
That and the all too real fear of squatters.
i mean i would not even call this guy mad. he literally was just trying to understand what was going on.
You need a mask on; I'm a 30 year RN I know what I'm talking about plus all of that dirt, pollen, and poison ivy oil going into your lungs❗It's a wonderful thing you are doing, and I wish I could find a yardman with your work ethics.
❤
He should be wearing a hazmat suit😮
And all the pesticides if any that you may be breathing in. Stay safe and God bless!!!! Psalms 91 prayer of protection.
Please please please wear a mask or something over your nose and mouth!
I also agree that a protection should be worn over the face to prevent any unwanted bacteria entering the body.
I’m old enough to be your mom so I’m sending advice from a mom. Wear a mask to keep from sucking all that dirt in through your nose and ear protectors. My husband (an electrician) is now having to get hearing aids because he never protected his ears a long time ago. Happy mowing.👏👏👏👏👏👏
He does wear ear protection. They're plugs that connect behind the head. You can see them hanging around his neck here 24:46
SHUT UP
Please wear a mask. I'm concerned about all the dust your breathing into your lungs. You're awesome and do a wonderful job
Forget the mask. Don't use leaf blowers on dirt. Use a broom. You're not only polluting the air for yourself, but everyone in the area.
Well said. I am glad. You wear the ear plugs, hope you will start wearing a mask and goggles to boot. Having had negative experiences with doing jobs when I should have been protective gear, I thought I would offer my suggestions as well.
I never understood why people who own property (that they do not live in, and cannot care for) don't just sell it and allow someone else to fix it up? Too many homes left "abandoned" that could be turned into a nice home for someone else.
Most abandoned homes were inherited by men who can't let go of Momma, so they just keep it all.
it is also about respect for the neighbors who are living there. They keep up their property and one person is messing it all up for them.
It was his mothers property. Probably hard to let it go.
Oh, wow, my mom wont sell her moms property either - but she and my dad go mow and maintain it. I just dont ask questions - but that's a thing??? I didn't know that was a thing - where people keep inherited property - jeez, I'm kind of relieved, thank you guys for mentioning
Yeah thats a new one for me but i guess people dont want to see their childhood homes outside of the family. I also think its sad to see the properties go into the abandoned title
Rule # 1, never get angry at a man with a leaf blower. My uncle learned the hard way and lost a hat once. RIP Bass Pro Shop hat, we'll always remember you.
Omg
lol omg
I thought rule #1 was no trespassing.
Lmao
I an confused why does this house have a private sidewalk? Is this normal?
No one expects kindness anymore. Bless you!
Bro, your community owes you millions. When prospective buyers drive through a neighborhood and see lots like this, they usually cringe and want nothing to do with a home in the neighborhood. Your work raises the property value of the entire community. A rising tide raises all ships. Well done.
Charles Chi….That’s a lovely saying that I had completely forgotten! 😍
I was thinking the exact same thing, if I lived in that neighborhood I would have given him some money.
Millions for grass cutting when he doesn’t even rake the grass when he’s cut it, damn I need in on this business
Though the neighbour might be thinking that he has now got the extra Greenwaste to clear that I see the gardener throwing ontop of the lawn a lawn is still no dumping ground even if the waste is green and mostly grass and soil it will make the lawn messy lumpy. I see moving one problem and making another, best bit is the gaining of a path but please for a proper job the green waste goes in the bin or for compost and not to mess up/be dumped on the lawn.
@@trevor5485 not only does he not rake he then goes and throws green waste on top from the path. Not at all right for the health and usefulness and beauty of a lawn. Damage of dumped green waste, in the garden, I lot of effort to make a bad garden still.sadly it needs more work I don't see the need to bother if the result is no progress I see no progress here because he has made nearly as much work as the work done as a customer the gardener has not helped me get a better garden he has only done 75%of the job. I would be upset on the deal to me clearing a path does not mean or inc I want waste dumped on my lawn payment is for the path clear not to now have to find someone to clear the lawn to.on camera is interesting here it is probably flytiping on technicality to leave that waste. Mulch is not random waste from path clearance as and when you want.
Thanks for doing this for your community. Hope this covers your gas and some drinks for one or two jobs. We need more people like you in this world.

Keep up the great work! You are a wonderful example and inspiration for people to see just how big of a difference one motivated person can make. You are a great human being.
Do you wonder why he puts a camera? He is smart. 8.8 million views represents $100,000 USD paid by TH-cam. The few hours he invested cleaning, plus all the video editing is worth. This guy is making serious money by being kind. Good for him!!

I'm sure that's a priority on her mind if that was a thing lol. The lawn getting mowed. I'm sure that guy sure appreciated it though. His voice got real soft after he realized there was nothing sketchy going on. Poor dude is just old and it's hard work.
So dead people's eyes and brain stoll function without curculating blood and oxygenated lungs? Have you ever smelled a corpse?
@@BeepBeepJohnny it's not because the lawn is getting done. this guy is doing a good, selfless deed - towards her family too - and that's why they said he will receive blessings.
I'm sure she appreciated the love. That was probably one of the best looking yards in her day.
Mow, blow, and go home
You are so kind to people, in an angry world you treat people with great respect. Kudos!
I wouldn’t really call this a confrontation at all - the guy didn’t know what was going on - and within 10 seconds seemed grateful - overall just very positive all around
It's clickbait
Its a confrontation, just not remotely angry. I've noticed a lot of people like to rag on the homeowners. Some of these get framed in a way that he's offering help and everyone else is miserable person. Where as from an outside perspective, it is very bizarre. Imagine having cameras setup on your land without any permission, and its his deceased mothers house. All he seemed was a little confused. Now at the same time, SB Mowing is doing good work, but executes the follow through and framing of titles piss poor. It gives me this weird vibe of arrogance or something. Like I am doing you a favor, how dare you question things that are strange when neighbors call concerned. My audience has my back and ill show you!
The owner might have thought somebody was squatting on his property, which can turn into a real mess including adverse possession. The owner was right to 'confront' the person on his property and good thing it turned out to be one GOOD GUY with a mower and other landscaping tools.
overall positivity yup lol " the N word didn't know what was goin' on"
more views if he called it that
That is BACK-BREAKING work! Especially for just one man. And what a transformation! You’re an asset to the community. We need more people like you.
Instead of needing more people like him, - we all- need to be more like him. Wether hard working , loving, patient or helpful

Great man hard work!
His videos have up to 12 M visualizations but look at subscribers....very very low numbers. Why? So many People just don't care!
Subscribing is not a "corporal effort"... It's just acknowledging and recognizing.
Just saying.

That really is cool.
That is true, im divorced and closing in on 65 I have great neighbors on each side of me to help with out side work like mowing the weed eating, cleaning gutters etc.
Great to hear. I hope you invite ur neighbor over for some pie and coffee.
Assuming you're in the sierra nevada area? I'm in Tahoe and the Snow this season was honestly insane!! Super glad to hear that your neighbor helped you all out!
@Tim Cooper Having snow built up around your gas meter can cause problems if the snow freezes around the meter and forms ice. The ice increases pressure on the gas lines and gas meter and there are cases where this has caused damage to the meter. So energy companies always recommend you keep the snow cleared from around your gas meter and any gas lines that are above ground.

I am not from the USA and I have a question. Why do so many properties get abandoned or neglected like this? If the owners are not going to live in it, renovate it and/or rent it out, why don’t they sell? It is sad to see places that were habitable just go to wrack and ruin. We have a housing shortage where I live and any house is snapped up when it goes on the market. In whatever state if disrepair, people will buy it and renovate to live in.
Thanks for doing such a great job to keep neighbourhoods tidy. ❤
Crickets
because you still need money to do it 😂😂😂 we are broke over here didn’t you know
From someone who does live in the US the economy is about to crash. No one really had money and the few who do aren't spending it on repairing random houses because they're too busy buying gold toilets or whatever the wealthy do so their wealth never leaves their own family. The median home price is currently about $450,000 (I don't know where you are or I'd put in the convertion but that's an almost unattainable amount of money for the dwindling middle class and completely unattainable for everyone else) for like 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. A property like this would still sell for $2-300,000 and then you'd have to spend another couple hundred thousand repairing it and there's no guarentee it would turn out right and even if it does you've not spend $500,000 and you don't have any money for furniture or basic nessesities. Most people don't even make $100,000 in a whole year. My husband for instance is considered "well paid" and makes half that and were still living paycheck to paycheck and have no ability to save any money. We're the average situation for the most part. People like us don't even day dream about owning a home let alone fixing one up, it's just impossible with the money we have.
Then there's the people that do still live in houses like this. Because of how high the cost of living is literally everywhere in the US people can't always afford to keep up. If they don't know how to handle cutting the trees and bushes themselves they can't afford to pay someone else to do it. Or of their lawnmower breaks it could be months before they have the money saved up to either fix it or buy a new one. It's called being "house poor" which just means you actually have a house and now you're broke most of the time because you're shoveling most of your income into the house and what little you aren't is going directly to feeding yourself and your family. People like that often have multiple jobs as well so when you've worked 16 hours that day you don't really want to come home and mow the lawn and cut the bushes and everything and if you actually have the same days off for both jobs most people would rather sleep in.
Basically the situation is really really bad here financially and it's starting to show up in places you don't always think it would. If you go to any city there's often whole neighborhoods that look like this or worse and every house is occupied and lived in every day. SB just manages to find actually abandoned properties for the most part it seems
It doesn't help that mortgage lenders are super picky. I was looking to buy a 70k house. I had a 750 credit score and a co-signer and I was turned down by every single major mortgage company. I could have had 70k in cash and they would have said no. People paying 2000 a month in rent are turned down for 500 a month mortgages. In the end, I found a local bank and a local home insurance place. They can't afford to be picky since they don't do the same volume as the bigger companies.
Bank or companies repossess, then don't want to pay to keep properties up, same with some real estate people. Property valuations are lower for tax purposes. Also sometimes when a property becomes 'blighted' and declared that way by a city, developers get TIF money to redevelope it. Which is basically a corrupt scheme to get tax payers to fund part of their projects.
That is mighty hard physical work. What a fantastic caring person he is. I bet his mother is proud of him. He has been brought up to be a caring person and think of other people. Well done Mum you have a great son there.
I'm betting he doesn't have to pay a gym for a membership to stay lean!!
I love that the neighbors waited until the job was almost done before calling the homeowner. 😂
They want that clean more than the owner; I will probably never call XD
I don’t get why he doesn’t just sell it.
@kutatm in order to sell a house, usually, you have to fix the house up to certain standards, which usually means spending a lot before you can even sell
Only the sidewalks were almost done, not the whole job.
@@sportsentertained yeah they're waiting until the sidewalk is almost done and the the house not so horrible to be seen in the neighborhood
If I was a neighbor I would have taken you drinks and baked goods to show my appreciation for all your hard work to upgrade my neighborhood. You are a absolute sweetheart!!
I often think the same, UK is no "better or worse" than USA but we always offer a "brew" to any workers. Often accompanied by a wrapped chocolate cookie of some kind. I have never seen this on You Tube but I'm sure many people are kind.
I would've joined him, started my mower, mowed then done the blower work too.

There are numerous ways to show your appreciation 😢
I always said, if I saw Spencer or anyone doing yard work for free, I'd make them lunch or dinner. They well deserve it! 👏
If that guy still owns the house, why doesn't he get it sold? Leaving it to get run down and dilapidated seems like madness.
ig maybe it could be hard to see your mum’s old house go if you’ve been hoping you could come back at some point in good health to clear it up
Sometimes it is hard to convince people probably due to the sentimental value and probably because they don't even know where to start (where to put those furniture and other things that they don't want to sell / evaluate what they should fix and what they should leave to the next owners, etc.). There are cases when the whole situation causes them so much stress that they simply put their heads in the sand. Sometimes these people need someone in their family to organize the whole process for them or have them facing the reality that they need help. Sometimes they do go there to cleanup on a regular basis with a plan to sell it in the future, they just don't realize that there is too much to do and they never going to complete it in their own tempo.
And the value is depreciating as the years go by too😢
Seriously!!!
That’s a Very Nice property for maybe a young couple to come in to and rehab.
Great Project home.
So much potential.
The Son who now owns it Unfortunately has Zero idea of what he is letting go to waste due to his either laziness, or just plain lack of concern for that property.
You never know what someones situation is.
I don't know why - but this is incredibly satisfying watching you clean up this place. You are setting such a wonderful example for others as well. Thank you !

This guy is caring AND smart. He’s inspiring all of us to watch this 30+ minute video of him doing tedious gardening work (and I’m watching as my own gardener is working in my yard while I ignore him!) AND he’s selling commercial space. He’s doing good AND doing well. I love this kid! He’s a genius!
And this is not fun "gardening". He is not digging holes in a mansion to plan thousand dollar shubberies. NO, this is a OLD property, neglected for a decade or more. He is scraping up YEARS of neglect! This is hard work. I have done this on old run down urban tenements
You realize he makes more money uploading one of these videos than you probably make in a week right? But yes, for the goodness of his cares lol

@John An overgrown yard invites pests into the area that might not be there otherwise and can have an impact on property values if a neighbor is trying to sell - it can have an actual negative impact on the neighbors. This yard was kind of ugly to look at but not in the category of extremely overgrown in my opinion.
Your awesome. His voice broke realizing your just here to help. Made me choke up a bit how good you were with him. Your all star, love your videos.
Its not just that you do this freely, but that you do it SO THOROUGHLY WELL... freely. You dont cut corners, you dont half ass. You treat these jobs with the meticulous care and effort as any paying job would demand... from your heart. You sir, are a different breed. We need more like you.
My dude, he does make a living from this, from the videos
There's paid gardeners who don't do as good a job as him.
He do cut corners though. Quite literally 😊
11 million views in this video, the dude made like 10 grand from it. Anyways is not easy to reach this point on TH-cam.
I mean it is a paid job but it's paid by these views. If he didn't do such a good job he wouldn't get so many views.
You inspired me to help clean up the beaches near me, specifically Pensacola beach and the Pensacola bay bluffs. I got out on weekends when I can and pick up as much trash as I can cause the county only cleans certain sections but theirs miles of beach line that don't get a glance let alone a second look. I've collected 200 bags worth in 2 weekends so far and plan to keep going
This is so wholesome
Well done, I would do the same if I lived near a beach, I litter pick the local lanes where I live in Rural Wales UK.
Wow thank you

This work is a tremendous example of helping improve a neighborhood. Neglecting yard work and landscape can easily get our of hand and make a neighborhood look bad. You clearly make a difference. Most of us are experienced DIYers, so we know what it takes to trim, cut and edge. Cannot say enough about your good work and example. Well done 👏
Now that it's looking nice maybe the owner will put the property on the market? He said he had been sick. I do all my own yard work and always loved it. Mine got out of control because I had a severe heart attack. I still try my best but I fall short of spending the time working in the yard now that I once did. I pray I can some day be able to do more.
He must be out of pocket as it costs to run those machines, as well as his fuel to get to the property plus time. Hope people contact him and give his mowing company some paid jobs.

This video goes to show that to contribute to society you don’t need to be a fireman, a doctor or paramedic, donate money to the poor or feed the needy. This young man’s act of kindness goes a long way! We need more people like that in the world. Way to go! Great job at helping others!
Did he contribute or did he violate basic property rights ? W/o permission he's an intruder and malefactor. His unevidenced *presumption* that the property was abandoned is pure personally bias - non-factual. Call the city or stop violating other ppl property rights.
@Steve Alexander Did you not catch in the beginning when he said he knocked on multiple neighbors' doors to double-check and was told it was abandoned? So, your assertion that he "assumed" is inaccurate. Go do something positive for someone else instead of being a hater/troll.
Yes! Maybe all we need to be is a little more human. 😪
@@stevealexander8010 I am alone and I'm now 66 yrs old. I had a heart attack and have very little strength, energy or funds. Some days I look out my window and want to just cry because the yard I've always took such care of and was so proud of is in such poor shape now. I don't want people to think I don't care or don't want to be a good neighbor. I do the best I can. I would thank God for just 1 hour of help like this. I raised my babies here and I'm not ready to move but sometimes I get overwhelmed and the yard work gets behind. This is a blessing this man is bestowing on a fellow human. Maybe now that the property is once again manageable, he'll consider selling? It must be hard to decide that since his folks lived there before? It's not rented out. It's vacant. No matter what the first intention was or was not, both men ended up blessed. That's what counts in the end.
@@stevealexander8010 but did he contribute? The answer is YES HE DID. The city would eventually do that work and would have sent the owner a ridiculous bill and if he didn't pay it they'd probably have put a lien on the property. God usually sends help whether the helper even realizes he blessing someone at first or not.
He didn’t seem mad

I'm a 65 year old woman who lives with my 75 year old disabled husband and we used to take very good care of our 5 acre property until illness forced us indoors and unable maintain it. We struggle to find decent, honest workers, to just weed whack the acre around our house we pay each visit, they're $60 an hour each for 2 to run a weeder and believe me they do nothing else! They go super slow and never touch a shovel, blower or anything. They can't ever do a job under 10 hours in 2 days, where we used to do in 4 hours! We keep having to advertise for others because nobody comes on a regular schedule, just when they need money. Some have used our equipment then left with it! I wish we had honest hard workers like you. God bless you sir.

As far as the home/property goes… I can just imagine that this place was very well kept by “Grandma and Grandpa” back in the day.

Hi jessica
That home and property is too beautiful to be vacant! Look at those TREES 😍
With a few thousand dollars I think you could get that house up to par for people to live in it, its a shame that what could be a good house for someone to live in is vacant out of laziness. I know this older gentleman has health issues but he should just pay for the issues to get fixed so he can sell the house. Hopefully getting the yard fixed will make it easier for him to sell the house.

Also, to the main poster, this trend started because of money, not because of the goodness in peoples hearts.
Sean from Blade Mate in Australia claims to be the first to do lawns to help others.
@@phyllisvanhuss1190 that is such a load of bs lmao…
You are so right, especially since so much bad or negative news comes over the internet so often. Love it
It's so satisfying to see these messes cleaned up! You're so kind to serve people and your community in this way.
I watch him all the time because It helps me with my lawn care business
That is awesome! Keep up the hard work and you'll be super successful!
@@SBMowing thank you
You couldn't have picked a better person to learn from. His meticulous attention to detail amazes me every time.
All the best and every success with your business.
He is my favorite. Like it that he cleans up as he goes.
@@SousChef77 for real
This is the prime example why people shouldn't go around assuming. Regardless, it turned out well and you did another great job. This crazy world can use more people like you, thank you for being a good hearted person despite the reception you got in this case.
@YLEO Assistant Wait, you find a stranger cleaning your property and you wouldn't find that weird? Have you ever owned a property?
To be fair, SB didn't secure permission to work on the property.
He assumed it would be OK.
The front of my property is an ugly hedge of blackberry and salmonberry bushes. I would be extremely angry if I came home and you had cut it down. It's a natural barrier that keeps my kids/dogs in the yard.
I don't think anyone assumed anything, but of course, reasonable minds can differ. IMO, the neighbor did the right thing by calling the owner, the owner did nothing but ask what was happening, and Spencer explained himself and offered help. All good, all around. No harm, no foul.

Every house I’ve owned, I’ve had some sort of natural barrier just inside the property line. In one house, I had a chain link fence (there when I bought it and also enclosed an inground pool) with grapevines on it. It grew alongside the neighbors driveway which, incidentally they had built a foot onto my property and I had them sign a boundary agreement so they were definitely aware that the fence was completely on my property. I came home one day to find the wife had decided she didn’t like the looks of the grapes and vines on my fence so she cut them all down and chopped the roots! I actually used the grapes for jam and cut the vines back every year to use for wreaths. Same house, other property line (corner lot so only two lines) I had a beautiful, tall, well-trimmed hedge growing well within my property line. No part of it encroached on my neighbor’s yard. I liked the height and kept it at 6 foot because it provided privacy for the pool. Came home from work one day and it was suddenly 3 feet tall with no green on top. That neighbor decided he didn’t like the hedge, even though it was on the side of his house he never used. He had the audacity to tell me I was lucky because his original plan was to cut it to the ground!😮
In my next house, there was a natural growing hedge on one side of my backyard, not formally cut, just a series of flowering bushes such as lilacs, bridal wreath, etc. Again, it sat well within the line and didn’t encroach on the neighbor’s property. She decided she wanted to put up a fence and mistakenly believed the bushes were the property line, so she cut them all down except the three she hadn’t reached before I got home and caught her. She hadn’t bothered to have a survey first and never mentioned it to me. I showed her my copy of my survey and all she said was, “Oops! I guess that’s what happens when you just assume things.” 😮
I don’t even want to discuss my current neighbors who actually took down a portion of my split rail fence which sits 3 feet inside the property line…

I agree. Everyone acted reasonably. I do wish, though, that these angels who want to help would stop referring to these houses as abandoned, though. Most aren’t abandoned - but they ARE vacant or unoccupied. They have owners who should have the right to choose whether work is done on their properties and exactly what work is done. It’s a 5 minute Google search to find the owner and maybe another 5 minutes to find the phone number.
My wife at the time and I once spent the day clearing ice off the foot path as people were getting hurt. Several nasty little people heckled us for being responsible citizens and doing something nice. It didn't deter us, but I did lose a little faith in humanity that day. Why would you want to stop someone helping others? I just don't understand it, unless it demonstrated to them how selfish and bitter they are, for they certainly demonstrated that to us.
Bless U ❤
Why would anyone heckle you?
Satanists hate good deeds. They are everywhere.
@@atlasatlantis8447 satanists?! Do you have evidence that he was a satanist? 😂
@@ruthriv7713 it was a grumpy gammon that didn't want people putting themselves out for the greater good because they were already cynical and broken and probably believed in Thatcher's lie that society doesn't exist. It's sad, but that's the English gammon for ya!
Wow, the City needs to repave that sidewalk for it is a tripping hazard! You did a mighty fine job restoring it as much as possible as well as all the yard work!!!
@mauriceharting5877 sadly many municipalities require the homeowner to keep and repair sidewalks as they are usually not on the ‘right of way’ causing the owner to bear full responsibility 😢
@@BellesDreams I think legally the sidewalk in on City property and they are responsible for installation and/or replacement. I think one could run into legal trouble if the homeowner replaced the concrete sidewalk on City property since it does not belong to the homeowner.
Now if the homeowner's property line goes right up to the street curb that would be a different story.
Los vecinos nunca llamaron al dueño para que limpiara su propiedad, pero vino este buen Samaritano❤ y les hace el favor al propietario y a la comunidad y entonces si lo llaman a chismear. “De Malagradecidos está empedrado el camino al Infierno “ 🤨 si señor! 😏
Angels appear to us in many forms. Some are armed with edgers, weed eaters and mowers. Thanks Spencer for all that you do to help people.
Thank you for the support!
You’re welcome
What an incredible gift you’ve given to the neighborhood! It just makes me so sad to see that darling home abandoned. With that enormous yard it should be filled with children’s laughter and joy. Looks picture perfect now!
You are one amazing person! This homeowner should really appreciate the BIG heart you have! We need more people like you! Thanks for being the role model, you are!
You realize he makes more money uploading one of these videos than you probably make in a week right? But yes, for the goodness of his cares lol
@@patrciaclemons8183 Saint SB Mowing is his new name 😄
The homeowner knows his game as I’m sure it was all setup beforehand, if the homeowner came unannounced the first thing he’d ask is why are you filming?
@@michaelwalsh9145 so if the homeowner knows his "game", and was clearly okay with it, why out here spreading hate over something not worthy of it?
@@tommys-143 what hate? I’m just stating facts.
You are very kind and generous to do all that hard work for free. Blessings to you. ❤❤
What a difference. You always seem to treat every property, whether it is abandoned or not , with the same high standards . I’m so impressed .
I found you on TikTok and now you came up on my TH-cam. I watch at least one of your videos each day and I want you to know why. You are healing me. I was in a situation that went bad. Before I was “extracted” from an abusive, unhealthy situation, I ended up on a rural property that was overgrown and scary looking. Each time I see you clean up an overgrown property, it shows me that I can come back to a better life. That healing is available to me. I just wanted you to know that you never know why someone is drawn to your content. 🙏🏻
Same came here from tiktok 😊
Don’t move next to me. You seem to have a ‘cloud’ following you.

This is so sweet❤
That’s a BIG JOB. Especially for 1 person. Good thing you’re recording it. Another 20-25 years, you’ll be amazed that you had the energy and strength to do that all yourself.
Its the Athletic Greens!
Hear, hear.
Neighbors - TAKE A HINT AND OFFER TO HELP HIM!
DON’T JUST STAND THERE AND SUPERVISE HIS EFFORTS- PITCH IN AND OFFER TO HELP!
Ain't that the truth. Lol
This lawn honestly wouldn’t be too long by yourself just would have to have the motivation and energy 😂
You're amazing to do work like this! Kudos to you for having the idea and acting on it! God bless you🙏
After you are done, wld be the best time for the owner to put the house up for sale. It will definitely be easier to sale with the property being manicured & not over grown with grass & weeds. What you do for ppl in such a blessing. God bless u for what u do.
I am old. Life isn't the way It was when I was a kid. Everyone knew everybody else. If someone was having troubles, the neighborhood pulled together to help . I truly believe in what you are doing. One person helping can make a huge difference in a person's life. Keep on doing good. That man knows he was blessed today. 😊❤🙏
Here’s praying we can get back to that.
Wow! That had to spike your "Oh, no!" factor fast when the home owner walked up to you. I was so happy to see how he opened up to you and took your kindness for what it was in the end. You did a fantastic job with all of the broken concrete throughout the entire yard. This was a tremendous transformation in the end, great job!
