This format is what I'm looking for. Love how you covered loud machine sounds with a good tune. You chose the right music to go with the enchantment of that garden. Thank you
@@FlawlessCleaningServices it's tough to please everyone. Some like the machine sounds, some don't. Some like just the sounds of raking, shoveling, clippers, digging. Some like music some don't. 🤷🏼 You have a tough job. ☺️
I’m a gardener who has spent 25 years cultivating the mosses in my garden. Sure, remove it for safety’s sake on walkways, etc but mosses and ferns are huge contributors to that magical fairy-tale garden feel.
Well said. I cringed when he mentioned removing the moss from the wall. Then he went and cut out the entire fern. Mind you, ferns grow at an alarming rate, so perhaps he had that in mind.
I am a landscaper and moss on stones is gold in my book😱just cleaning the walking surfaces to make it safe, keeping ferns coming out of dry packed walls(so beautiful) …please keep sides intact next time❤️
Я полностью с вами согласна! Мне было жаль очищать камни от моха и папоротников.... я хоть и не ландшафтный дизайнер,но некоторые участки не нарушала бы!
Loss of the ferns is no problem as they will regrow quite quickly (ask anyone who's tried to get rid of them completely.) The moss will regrow too but at least now it will be possible to control it so that it doesn't get everywhere which it will quite happily if left to its own devices.
What an effort to make this garden usable for the owner again! The only pity: the mossy stonewalls were beautiful, sad, that the moss is gone there....
I was going to say the same. I am a gardener in a less lush environment and I would pay money for moss that prolific and lovely! Funny world, isn't it?
Normally I'm right there with you loving the results but I gotta say, this one broke my heart a bit. I think I loved all of the moss and ferns and the whole secret aged garden look. But, if Steve loved it, that is ALL that matters, God bless him and you two guys.❤
That’s okay to like it that way, honestly Steve wasn’t that great on his feet and told us exactly what to get rid of, he is so excited for the rest now. Thank you for dropping by and leaving a comment 😊
It has to be said that the ferns are not much of a loss as they will regrow. I like the moss covered walls but the trouble with moss is the same as ivy, if it's not controlled it gets everywhere.
While I quite understand the reason for this cleanup it’s good to know that Mother Nature will take back her own when we leave her to her own devices. Great work boys, as usual. 💐
I imagine it is because moss spreads quickly and I know at my workplace it's deadly. I have some mild mobility issues and it is the devils work to tame it. While I agree the ferns and moss are aesthetically pleasing, at least they can actually get into the garden safely now.
I wouldn’t say that people not wanting moss on their walls equals them thinking “life is ugly.” People just have different preferences and that’s completely fine.
I believe this RU-vidr is learning as he goes and will take our experienced gardening tips to heart for future “clean ups”. He and his dad appear to have the best intentions but just may not know the extent of the moss eco system!
It was good to get the walkways clear, but I actually liked the moss on the walls - gave it more of an enchanted feel. It's a beautiful property that you've helped the homeowner rediscover. Kudos to you for your kindness.
Agreed. Some of the moss on the face of the steps and the plants growing on the face of the rock wall looked pretty cool. I think some of those plants were keeping the rocks secure 🤣
Omg I love the before. It’s like an enchanted Succession of plants and it’s wonderfully gorgeous. That moss on the steps and wall is everything I want in my life!😍
Hi, one thing I'd suggest, unless the moss is impacting people's safety I'd leave it alone, it's an incredible microsystem of tiny plants and insects and in stone walls like those it actually helps to hold them together. By jet washing it out from between the stones you could affect the structure of the wall making it unsafe. I live wild gardens like this, perfect havens for hedgehogs, badgers, small creatures like voles etc so it's lively that you've made it accessible to the property owners again. Thank goodness we still have gardens like this and they haven't all been turned into carbon copies of the "hinch" style gardens.
I loved the mossy walls too, but he replied in another comment that the homeowner asked for the walls to be cleaned, so that's what he did. Sad. They were beautiful.
The before pictures showed an intriguing and mysterious garden, but also dangerous. The cleanup was great, except I hated to see the ferns pulled out of the wall. They were beautiful there. Thanks for what you do over in England!
I loved the overgrown look of it at first, but I guess it's different when you have to live with it. The poor owners probably didn't know where to start! It looks gorgeous so far! Excited for part 2!
I loved the wild higgledy-piggledy garden, even the green stone-pile walls. I bet its a haven for wildlife and bugs etc. So much so at first I thought, "No! leave it be!" But those steps looked a hazardous and you can appreciate all the nooks and crannies, the stone walls, etc now you can see them. So happy to be wrong. That looked such hard work. Well done both of you. 👏
I can see that at one time the folks there enjoyed tinkering in their yard! It has lots of sitting spots to enjoy all aspects of their property! We all wish we could stay young to be able to do the hard work required to maintain our yards! Thanks for helping them!
My grandparents have a home in the countryside and they have this concept of keeping a few routes clean and proper and also mowing a few walkways in the grass but leaving the rest of the garden to grow and be by itself. (Unless it‘s dangerous like rotting trees of course etc.) I have never seen a more beautiful garden than theirs.The amount of wildflowers that bloom and all the small animals you can see at all times, it really feels like a secret paradise. This garden slightly reminded me of theirs! Great work ❤
That sounds like my perfect garden, I live in a 60's council bungalow, luckily back them they had reasonable sized gardens, but mine can never be big enough. I've packed it with trees, shrubs, perrenial plsnts and a small wildlife pond. No grass that's too much like hardwork, the birds love my mini jungle.
How precious the outro with your boys. I personally would have left the moss on the brick wall, it looked more enchanted ✨, but the staircase really looked great cleaned. Keep up the great job Ben.
I'm gutted that you removed all the moss and ferns from the walls. It took away the fairy Glen look. I can understand you cleaning the steps and walking surfaces, but would have left the growth on the walls for the wildlife. A good job on the paths and stairs though
Thanks for having me along on one of your adventures Ben, I got a lot out of this time with you. We all should help each other more these days and to watch what your doing is an inspiration! Keep up the amazing work mate i look forward to future blessings
One of the saddest truths is that as one becomes increasingly elderly and infirm, the first thing to go is usually the garden. Gardens bring such solace and joy to older people, and to see it become neglected and overgrown must be heart breaking. To know that it does so only because one can't look after it one's self must really lower self esteem. How lovely that you guys have restored the beauty that a garden can bring to a life.
You are such a good, kind man! And your interaction with your boys is so sweet. It is amazing the good you are doing in your community. Your choice of mission work blesses so many people. I wish you and your family many blessings. All the best from the southeast of the US.
What an awesome, magical garden!!! Loved every minute of this video and can hardly wait for more! My hat is off to whoever designed and created that lovely space. Hugs to your precious little ones, they are adorable!
That was a cool garden, I can imagine now it's clean and safer Steve's grandkids are going to love the garden. Well done for that huge effort to get it tidied up and cleaned - garage cam up great with a bit of chemical! Well done to you both.
It looks wonderful! I live in the desert in the southwest USA, and the climate is hot and very dry. Moss is unheard of. I'm amazed at how the steps were disappearing rapidly. Now they're clean, beautiful, and safe! You're so generous to do that for this person
I’m from America and just found your channel. I am so impressed with you and your work in giving back to communities and people. You are a true Angel on Earth. Nice job on the garden makeover. I can’t wait to see part 2. I also loved that you showed a small part of your your family. They are beautiful children. I’m a Grandma of two with more on the way and I loved your Christmas elf little gifts. So many people go over board on the holidays and you kept in simple and sweet. Letters and kind words are so important to children growing up. The fact that you are exposing them to letters at a young age, will help them Love it as they get older. They are more important than material gifts. Well done Mom and Dad! Keep up the amazing good work raising your family and showing them by example with giving back to others.
What an amazing transformation. Looking forward to seeing the next phase! 😎😍 Ben, what a blessing it is to see the love you have for your children. God Bless you and your family. Cheers
What an amazing transformation Ben, together with your friend the garden will be a magical place when you have finished. Ben, I must say I love your little boys. They are adorable. You and your beautiful wife are doing an amazing job bringing them up. The love that shines in your family is a true pleasure to see. Thank you for sharing these little snippets with you all together. May this holiday season be filled with love and light for you and your beautiful family. May god bless you all and keep you safe........Sylvia, Canada.
Вы всегда беретесь за интересные проекты,вот и на этот раз вы показали двор ,за которым хозяева уже не могут ухаживать,но когда то в него было вложено много труда и заботы.Но не в этом суть,а в том ,что придя домой хотя вы устали ,но у вас золотое время всегда отведено вашим любимым ангелочкам,вашим детям и это привлекает вашего зрителя еще больше.Здоровья Вам и вашей семье.Привет из России.👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
I don't know how to express how much I admire you. You have a lovely family and I know your boys will grow up to be like their Dad. Although I live in America, I truly admire you and respect your dedication. Thank you for all that you do.
Oh my word... yikes thats a mess. For a senior to walk, yup dangerous indeed.... it was beautifully designed at one point. Very whimsical. Terrific task you two have gotten into!!
so lovely! 🙏🙏💗💗🤗🤗🥰🥰 and i know its to each his own. i would have left moss on side walls because it gives softer look & charm to the yard, on steps i understand, slipping hazard.
What a wonderful garden! It is beautiful and seems endless. What a lot of hard work by both of you! definitely one of the most amazing gardens Ive seen. Would like to go there.
Another beautiful job performed. It was wonderful spending time with your wonderful family during the live chat. Hoping Sir Theo feels better, and Sir Arthur is enjoying his marshmallows. Until the next blessing....Thank you for sharing. ❤❤🎄🎄
Thank you so much for joining us, I hope to try and do another one soon. Thanks fully we think he’s starting to feel better he’s been off school all week and up the hospital most of the day in the week. Arthur was easily pleased with a lollipop and some marshmallows 😅 have a great weekend
That's quite the project. I would still rather listen to the tools and scraping than the music. What you do is magic. It doesn't need background. Thank you for your deep kindness for doing this work. So appreciated! So magical! You are creating new dreams as you spray away the moss and rake the debris up. Bless you!
That was not an easy place to sort. Love the teamwork. The steps re-appear, a beautiful hedge is now apparent and you were braving rain to do it all. I like this yard as you work on it. We get to see what nice ideas were thought of and are being recovered and renewed. On the second day, as you start on power washing, it reminds me some of having a black and white movie that is suddenly in color. The colors in the stone, brick, etc. are coming alive and not just algae green or black. That is a fascinating yard. Must have taken many years to create. Little places to sit, views, pathways and even grass meadows, as if you were in the forest. You two are doing a great job. Biocide was a good thought, will brighten the colors and keep off a speedy return of algae. How nice of you to do the house walls too. At 18:33 (joke) we see we are now at a completely new property... Thank you to the owners for sharing. Looking for January pictures. At home, you and your wife sure enjoy making surprises for your kids. Reindeer footprints and Advent calendars, etc.
As me as and Chris were doing the work we spoke about how much effort it was to build the steps and how long ago it was all built etc we found it so fascinating to uncover it all
Such a stunning yard. You are both so beautifully generous with your time. I’m partial to the gorgeous mossy rocks. 😂😂 You are such a gorgeous soul Ben. Your family are beautiful. You and your lovely wife are raising such wonderful little men. ❤
Hi Ben A shout out to Chris. You both did an amazing job 👍 It looks like a lot of work originally went into creating this garden. Thank you for bringing it back to it's glory days. The layout and colors of the rocks are so awesome. This has to bring back a lot of memories and a smile to Steve. Can't wait to see the next phase of this project.

Thank you so much for the in-depth comment and appreciating the effort me and Chris put into it. January is going to be huge, thanks again. Have a great weekend
Thank you. You are bring peace and kindness back to our planet. The moss was lovely. I don’t get moss at my place. Brilliant yard. Y’all have brought a smile to my face. Hopefully in a few weeks. Texas will get some rain and get down into mid 90F. I can get out in the yard. I would love to see this yard in the spring. Plus love to see his grandkids running about. Nice picnic family reunion. Romance afternoon tea. Treasure hunt. This is not a yard. It is forgotten land of kindness.
Wow! What a magical, better yet, miraculous transformation of a "Once Upon a Time" garden you and Chris transformed for Steve and Jenny. Ben, your channel is the one I very much look for every Friday, for you never fail to make my heart sing! So lovely the downtime with wife and the boys! May all your blessings return to you all a thousandfold!!!
You've given a new generation this magical garden. Bravo! As always, my favorite part is your family interaction. Such gentle guidance, memories made, all done with love.
Oh, it's so beautiful! You've done wonders with the place. It's a Narnia garden! Or somewhere in Middle Earth! What shall we find when we turn the next corner?? Nice of Chris to help you!
What a transformation, what a massive job!!! that is some garden...really wanted to see it at the time but was at work and the signal was no good. brilliant job you never fail to amaze, lovely outro too.
