I decided to do a surprise full yard makeover for a young couple while they were away on holiday. When the daughters mother called me around to do a quote for some mowing, I took one look at this place and offered to do a complete transformation for free. I thought it would be a great surprise. I was then told that the daughter had fallen over when hiking on a glacier in New Zealand and injured her hand terribly, requiring surgery and leaving her with a slight disability. Because of this, she can no longer really garden and take care of the property as required. Her partner really isn't an outside type of person, so the yard has become quite overgrown. At the start I thought I could get it all done in one episode, but the front took me much longer than expected, and I did everything for FREE. All up, this job took me around 24 hours to complete, including 4 trips to the landfill and a trip to the landscaping supplies yard for mulch.

This is a reedit of 2 shorter episodes made into 1 long version.

FAQ's:

Q: Where are you located?
A: I am from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia .

Q: Do you worry about snakes?
A: I have never even seen a snake in over 5 years on the job.

Q: Which equipment do you use?
A: Mostly STIHL power equipment (battery and petrol) and commercial Honda selfpropelled mowers.

Q: How much do the jobs cost?
A: Sorry, I prefer not to talk about costs.

Q: Why don't you use tarps instead of bins?
A: Tarps are too difficult to move through small spaces and lift into the trailer. The same for wheelbarrows, they are only good for unloading the trailer!

Q: Why are the hot water cylinders outside?
A: I would say it's because Australia had a temperate to tropical climate, and therefore it doesn't matter that much if they are outdoors. To me, though, it seems a bit inefficient to have them outside in Tasmania with a temperate climate (coldish for 3 4 months per year). But that is industry standard down here ‍♂.

Q: Why don't you have help?
A: I've had many problems with employees in the past, so now I work alone.

Q: Why don't you have a rideon mower?
A: Well, there are a few reasons.
1. I don't have the right trailer for a ride on, considering I always take away the green waste.
2. I don't have anywhere to store it, as my shed is too small.
3. A lot of the properties we do have fences and gates, so you can't actually get a rideon on to the properties.
4. I don't do enough big jobs to justify spending 15k AUD on a stander, but it would be nice to have one!
5. I will get one as soon as my transport and storage problems are solved.

Q: What types of ladders do you use?
A: The large one is a Gorilla Adjustable Platform 150kg and the small one is a Gorilla Mighty 19. They are both adjustable.

Q: Who/what is Jim's Mowing?
A: Jim's Mowing is a franchise business. The Jim's Group is the biggest home services franchise in Australia.

Q: Why do you have 2 channels that seem the same?
A: Quick Cuts (my original channel) has music in the background. Quick Cuts V2 is for those that like just machine noise, and it doesn't have music.
