A new mum with a three month old baby asked for my help to clear up her garden, she's only weeks away from moving in. No way could I say no to this job, she sent me pictures and called for my help, I said yes without a second thought.
I was limited to time during the initial tidy up, the weather forecast was grim to say the least. I estimated 3-4 hours to get this job to some level of completion, I hope its enough.
I knew lots would still be left to do, but without knowing where the garden is underneath all the brambles and trees there wouldn't be much I could do.
Hope you enjoy this little overgrown garden transformation.
Thank you so much for watching,
Martin The Garden Guy.

I'm so sad that she was going to have to move in with the garden like this, it must have been really overwhelming for her, especially with a new baby. Well done to you for not only creating a nicer space, but for taking some of that worry off her shoulders! ❤❤

@martinthegardenguy 7 месяцев назад

Honestly, I was quite concerned as well. I moved my work diary around to get this one in really quickly. And traveled a lot further than I normally do to 😅 But I'm glad I did. It was quite a bit of fun. You never really know what you're gonna find in a garden like this 🤣 And the job seems far from done yet. Thank you so much for your comment It's truly appreciated. All the best, Martin.

@robertisaacson6072 8 месяцев назад

Instead of a string line, try using a Blade head. It will cut Bramble easier and mulch it quicker for you to remove.

@martinthegardenguy 8 месяцев назад

Totally agree 👍 but like a Muppet I'd brought the brush cutter blade head but not the hex wrench to swap it over 🤣 Live and learn 😁 Thanks for the sensible comment though, much appreciated. All the best Martin.

You need a good quality heavy duty brush cutter fitted with an oregon mulching blade. It will go through those brambles like a hot knife through butter.

@martinthegardenguy 2 месяца назад

Haha, yeah, this one was quite a while ago. I do actually have a blade for the brush cutter but I hadn't remembered my hex wrench to swap over from the strimmer head. So I improvised 👍Although it worked out ok, there were actually loads of tree branches and thick saplings growing within the thicket. Over 2 inch thick 😂 so the brush cutter would have been limited anyway. I actually really liked using the old hedge cutter, worked a treat 👍

In the first place the sellers or real estate people should have cleaned up that place. I wouldn’t have accepted anything that looked like this.

I’m looking forward to the next segment of this clean up. Thanks for sharing and God bless!

@martinthegardenguy 7 месяцев назад

Oh hi, thanks for the comment 😊 Unfortunately the previous resident had passed away, and apparently, the garden had already been "let go" before this. In the UK, estate agents don't have anything to do with the condition of a property. They just simply sell the place, and there is still lots of competition to buy properties. I've already done a second visit and third planned for this week, so 🤞 it'll be done 😁 part 2 should be ready by the weekend. Wow, it's been a tough one though 🤣 Thanks again Martin

You might want to add an Oregon mulching blade to your arsenal for the brambles like that. Great job. Thanks for the video.

@martinthegardenguy 8 месяцев назад

Excellent point my friend, I'd got the blade in the van but unfortunately I didn't take the hex wrench with me so couldn't swap it over. So I had to improvise 😂lesson learned. Glad you still liked the video 👍 Thanks Martin.

This is like kudzu here in our area. It can take a place. You really had a mess to clean up today! 😮

@martinthegardenguy 2 месяца назад

Oh wow, I've just had to google Kudzu. Looks love a real nightmare 😅 Although it's one saving grace, it's not covered in razor-sharp thorns! 😂 Thanks for watching ❤️ 😊 Martin.

Awesome job. I kow how hard some of those jobs are, especially clearing brambles! Look forward to more vids 🙂

@martinthegardenguy 7 месяцев назад

Thanks so much, yeah brambles are a pain. I only like them for one month of the year 🤣 Thanks again for the comment Much appreciated Martin

You need to get the tools that Ben From Flawless Cleaning uses on Brambles. Great transformation though.

@martinthegardenguy Месяц назад

Haha, yes, indeed. A brushcutter would have helped. I actually have two of them, but unfortunately, I didn't bring them on this job. So I improvised 😁 It was far more fun. Thanks for the comment 👍 Martin

Oh my God another forest behind the gate😮 Wondering how many years growth in this back garden5 -10 years? Fantastic job👏👏

@martinthegardenguy 7 месяцев назад

I think you're right, I'd guess a minimum of a few years of absolutely zero maintenance. Sadly, it happens quite a bit. Especially following a family bereavement, etc. It's was well loved at some point, though. I could tell because I found birdhouses and bug hotels and things like that. And the remains of some lovely plants. Hope you liked the video ☺️ Thank you so much for the lovely comment. Martin.

@jerijames2876 Месяц назад

you need that power tool that has a spinning blade on the end and not the whipping plastic string. (america we call that a weed whacker). but the yard cleaners in asian countries use that alot because of the vines they deal with. i have seen some UK cleaners use it also.

@martinthegardenguy Месяц назад

Yeah 👍 we call them brushcutters. I have one, but I didn't have the hex wrench with me on the day to swap it over from the strimmer head to the blade head. So I improvised 👍 Live and learn 😂

🌿🌷🌿 Brambles!!! Such a pain. The berry brambles could/would take over here in northwest Washington state, if we let them get out of control. This patio looks great . New subscriber. Best wishes. 🌿🌷🌿

@martinthegardenguy 5 месяцев назад

Haha, yeah they are a pain 😂 Although I love blackberries, so I will have to live with them. Over here, they seem to be less of a problem in gardens, but out in woodland areas they certainly need some control. Thanks for the comment, very much appreciated. And a super big hello to you, from Nottinghamshire. Martin.

Hello to the lovely Whitby. It's one of my favorite spots to holiday (or get away) in the UK ❤️☺️ Thank you so much for the compliment. Always appreciated. Martin.

@teresacartwright5406 Месяц назад

I don't think there is a right or wrong way - it's true that necessity is the mother of invention. As always, you did a brilliant job of clearing it out. Now the woman won't have to be afraid of snakes & creepy crawlies in the yard & can enjoy it instead.

@martinthegardenguy Месяц назад

Cheers 👍 I must admit, I never really worry about what tool I'm using as much as the task I'm trying to do. Speed isn't always my only goal, in fact, sometimes it is at the bottom of my list 😅 I love gardening, and also not rushing it too much. To me, It beats sitting in front of the TV 😂

Nice job and like a guy said try the matel blade seen a guy do just like you did with the metal blade and battery made very short work of it still a great job you did

@martinthegardenguy 6 месяцев назад

Cheers mate, appreciate the comment. I did actually have the blade with me on the day, but I didn't take the hex wrench to remove the strimmer head and replace with the blade. So I had to improvise 😂 Hopefully I've learned my lesson......but I doubt it!😁👍 Thanks again Martin.
