Most OVERGROWN EDGE I've Ever Seen, Satisfying Lawn Cleanup Transformation 

Thank you for sharing your story with us Justin. Glad you seem to be doing better now. I agree we never know other people’s situations. Never hurts to help when we can

People taking your choice to help as an opportunity to anonymously judge from afar is insulting to your charity and goodwill. You're the only one who spoke to your neighbor. Their lives are nobody's business but their own and they are not subject to internet judgment by anyone

Well said!!

Thanks man

When my 12 year old son was diagnosed with cancer in 2016 and I was taking my son to chemo and then he had bone marrow transplants (3) and I stayed for a month with him in the hospital on those transplant times. My sister was working full time, taking care of everything and we have an elderly mother and disabled brother. My older son was also helping out but has allergies so bad to different things, he beaks out when dogs touch him, some weeds..etc. Our yard took a back seat from 2016 to 2018. Just got the basic mowing. A lot of ivy, poke weed, and over grown shrubs and trees took over. We actually got a citation for reports from neighbors. A super windstorm had also blown a metal shed across our yard and bent it up. We we're just about to get a dumpster before citation. Fortunately I told the person our situation and he was very helpful with time and we did not have to pay anything. We have spent 2020 since stay at home order times taking down shrubs, trees, etc. We got our front yard where we want it. Back yard is always a work in progress. It's big and that's where all the poke weed is and one of our neighbors does not cut his back yard and my son (who is showing no signs of cancer now) offered to mow it for him for free but he said no, but still has not mowed it. So we have to cut weeds from our fence from his side. But your statement about "Karen's" through this whole process over these last few years, and life, some people will never understand until a situation happens to them then it is a different story then it will be like nothing like it has happen to anyone like it has happen to them. All we can do is keep trying to do our part at least. Sorry you had to go through that nightmare(accident) I hope everything keeps moving onward and upward for you.

AND power washing is like mowing...instant gratification😍

Wish you were my neighbor!! 😂😂

Love it

That’s the truth let it wash away

And if anyone asked, you'd power wash them 🤣😛 you're a great neighbour.

Thank you Jill

Yup that's very true

For sure, I saw a bit of hesitation at the beginning like what have I gotten myself into look lol He did a good job 👍

I think this is transformative for the family who lives there. Imagine waking up to a fresh clean lawn instead of an overgrown mess, this family might start their day feeling refreshed and ready to take action rather than being overwhelmed each morning. Little by little, their days will get more and more productive and soon they will see more improvements in their lives.

Well said..

It is free to the person with the overgrown garden -but who can work for free so putting it on RU-vid creates revenue for the lawn service company and we the viewers also benefit by getting free expertise or at least I do so it is a win- win-win!!! Genius.

I second that brother !

Thank you so much Chris appreciate the kind words and support

We need more people you all. Good job keep it up, God will always bless you'll.

I totally agree on this comment! And a smart way to market and advertise his lawn care business...what better way than an example.

Looks like the overgrowth had been there so long that when the street was re-paved, they just paved up to where the grass was. Lazy asphalt contractors, I’d say.

Seems to be some sort of drainage easement with that pipe there. Maybe frequently backs up and settles dirt. Then the grass and weeds take over.

In most jurisdictions, your yard typically includes the grass between the curb and the sidewalk. So your supposed to maintain them via mowing and trimming, and shoveling snow if needed. Although some cities own the curb, they still require you to maintain it as if you own it. I don’t know. Curb maintenance is a legal grey area.

thats what im saying why did the City let it get like that...

I'm in California, and we have about a foot of cement gutter beside the cement curb before the asphalt begins. It helps with rain run off.

I hope he at least can make something from ad revenue

I'm with you to a point on this. I remember where I grew up in So. Cal., we had street sweepers come through once a week. This helped to eliminate things like the street side of this property's issues. Of course, you need tax dollars to pay for that service. Up to the citizens to decide whether they want to pay for it or not. Also, pavement should got all the way to the curb.

I think Wichita could do a better job.

I would have contacted the DOT and submitted a complaint since the grass encroached so much onto the asphalt, causing it to break down. The homeowner needs a regular grounds keeper.

What no one seems to remember from "Top Notch" himself is he said it was "in his neighborhood"... maybe that means something different from what I was brought up thinking, but usually means within a few blocks of my place... or else it would be in my city or something else... this is not just a week or 2... or even a month or 2... this is at least a year unless that "neighborhood" has chia pets for yards and grow wild without notice... So in short... 3 parties are at fault... The homeowners for not getting yard service (done by them or hired service) ... the city because this is a road hazard and the city should have given homeowners citations for yard... and 3rd... Mr Top Notch himself... he said many times in this video "worst he's seen"... and plus it is his neighborhood and such... So agree or not... this is my opinion... 3 parties are at fault... of which 2 of them (homeowners and Top Notch) worked it out and now city is off the hook since it appears that area doesn't do or have road cleanup services... ie street sweeper/cleaners

@@AE-yz5fm Building and maintaining roads is generally the responsibility of state and local governments, almost 97 percent are under the jurisdiction of state and local governments. Residents often have to bring the problem to the attention of the DOT themselves by submitting a complaint location and concern. With 4.1 million miles of road in the U.S. they can’t always be aware of every situation needing attention.

We’ll they kind of had a lot going on!!

I would hope they would offer a small amount to your favorite charity! I have an electric mower (Ego) and it cuts high and thick grass. It also does not die in 100+ heat! And my electric trimmer cuts anything!

Atleast pick the garbage up

I thought the same thing! And when he started shoveling, I was like oh, ok

lol Yeah it definitely took a second look!

I would think there had to be some semi flooding going on ,what with a drain on the corner. I think the city/county was responsible.

Thank you Terry glad you enjoyed it!

jlo.......At least you made an effort to ask her if she needed help! Apparently, that is the way she got to that mature age of 94, lots of physical work and good genes!Lol! God Bless!

Thank you so much Penny I appreciate the kind words. It never hurts to help others when we can!

@@TopNotchLawns Facebook Whatsapp Instagram is down is stuck at global

Reason?? Check out the Senate investigation, sky news and forbes, it's getting interesting

@@donniebrown2896 stocks going down down down .. well be Venezuela #2

Penny, I second that

Looks like the city needs to fix the section of road along that curb. Maybe they were going to install a water sewer for the road? Forgot that one area?

By the way, what a great job you did in uncovering the beauty of that lot. Could not believe there was a stairway to the front porch.

Thank you Mary big jobs like this are always rewarding!

Thanks so much appreciate the support

My back hurts just watching all that shovel work! Amazing job!

Thank you so much Karen I’m glad you enjoyed it I appreciate the support and kindness

Thank you Mandy appreciate the kindness

Imagine a world filled with the kindness this man has. What a terrific guy he is to do this for them.

Interesting Craig thanks for sharing!,

Thanks for your Godly strength...When you do it for the least of these my brother you did it for The King🙏

Thanks as always man this one was crazy!

Doesn't look like the new parents have worried about the yard for quite some time. That SUV looks pretty clean though. Priorities I guess.

@@Brian67859 many people buy houses when they get pregnant because their current housing doesn’t have enough space. If that is the case with this couple then they inherited the yard in that state.

lol 😂 baby rake! 🤣

We have leaf rakes and garden rakes but they’re very different. Older (leaf) rakes were very small as well but they have enlarged as they have evolved. Smaller metal ones are still available but so are the plastic behemoths as seen here.

Lesley- Everthing smaller in UK ...ask my wife...............lol

You also might want to add! that any grass on the roadside of a sidewalk/footpath is also the Cities responsibility not the householders! oh and btw yes we do have rakes that size in the UK! just that most British are too tight arsed to pay the extea couple pounds they cost!

Lol 😆

This type of work keeps you physically fit and healthy. God bless your big heart.

Isn’t that sadly true? 😢 seems to be all about who can be the biggest and loudest snitch/ tattletale..instead of helping . I was taught , never look down on someone unless I was helping them up! Help they neighbor , and I do!

@@pamkammann1176 one of the 10 commandments; love thy neighbor as you love yourself!

@@jamesdiehl8690 yes it is ! Words to live by too! I try my hardest to. I put others way before myself , and a thank you is enough . And a hug. Have a blessed day 🤗

@@pamkammann1176 I know about that too! I've done things for my neighbors and never asked a thing in return. It's not the getting, but the giving that makes it worthwhile! If they are the same way, they will help you if you need it!

I think most people do want to help but media focuses on negative stories until we believe that is all there is.

Do you also pray that father gets off the couch and takes better care of his kid than his own yard? Lets leave it at that.

Thank you Sue hopefully it will be easier for them to stay on top of things now

Sorry to hear about your name is Cynthia appreciate the support
