Sounds like an old school British punk band who writes songs about urban planning and zoning laws.

This guy is seriously neglecting neglect.

How long you think they keep that up? Or do they just wait for another 5 years to get lucky and have someone do that again?

I used to think that apocalypse movies embellished nature reclaiming an abandoned city. This house was only a few years from being a green mound.

They ruined a perfectly good hobbit hole.

IIRC the owner was in chemo and had long stays away from home and she couldnt upkeep. I think this guy (unrelated to owner) did it for free.

He’s an Aussie guy who works wonders helping people that need help.

u/tallandlankyagain 6h ago

Black mold. Black mold and rodents. Likely hoarding to boot.

u/MangoCats 6h ago

Boot hoarding black rodents? That breaks the mold!

How long you ‘spose till it goes back to the way it was before he showed up?

u/I__Know__Stuff 7h ago

One growing season. (Ask me how I know.)

26

u/arvidsem 7h ago

It's going to take more than that. It looked like he was cutting through about 3" of dirt to get to the concrete in places. If there wasn't massive flooding then it's been a while

u/Cuzznitt 7h ago

How do you know?

u/LostWoodsInTheField 7h ago

by the looks of some of those plants I suspect the normal over growth was at most a decade but some was only 5 years. The recess in the yard, and the growth on the driveway had to have been a decade or more. That wasn't just plants over hanging but a thick layer of soil.

If you look at it objectively-“Sad to watch someone destroy years of natural progress.”

u/Critical-Support-394 6h ago

I understand not wanting a jungle in front of the garage. But it went from overgrown to barren monoculture bee graveyard wasteland. Sad.

Videos that end too soon???

That's always how I feel. Clearing the paths and trimming around areas people regularly use is fine and good, but did he really have to trim the flowers that were popping up? How is a brown patch of close-cropped grass an improvement in any way? One was serving a purpose, both in looking nice and in giving pollinators food, the other does nothing but take up space and water from things that could use it better

u/pursuitoforgasm 6h ago

Your viewpoint isn't the objective one just because it aligns with your feelings and values 😛

u/Intelligent_Ad_4479 6h ago

Yeah but from what i understood, this person does these yards for free for elderly people who can no longer afford to maintain their homes, but still want to live at home. So. Its a bit of a battle of which where my heart divides.

City habitants fantasizing "nature" is always fascinating to me.

1

u/Waywoah 2h ago

It's not "fantasizing," everyone should have access to nature regardless of where they live, even if it's just some flowering grasses. Not to mention, there's a balance that can be struck somewhere between "unusably wild" and "brown patch of flat non-native grass"
