A 98-year-old woman whose garden had laid ‘untouched for five years’ recently got the surprise of her life.
Gardening becomes a formidable task as one gets older, and with living costs in the UK soaring across the board, affording a professional gardener is often out of the question.
This was the problem facing a Manchester-based pensioner whose garden had severe overgrowth that blocked her walkway, meaning she couldn’t enjoy her green space. However, her fortunes changed when the kind soul who runs the Garden Yardz Mowing account on TikTok stepped in.
Garden Yardz Mowing has garnered more than 21,000 fans by sharing clips of him sprucing up gardens free of charge for those in need – and that’s exactly what happened here. The heart-warming TikTok video captures him firing up his strimmer and diligently clearing the pensioner’s pathway, giving the elderly woman access back to her treasured garden for free.
The clip has amassed hundreds of views on TikTok, with users expressing their gratitude in the comments section. “Thank goodness for you guys,” one TikTok user said. Another wrote: “What a jungle of a job eh – well done.” A third said: “That’s what’s up.”
This comes after Garden Yardz Mowing stepped in when an 86-year-old woman was quoted a staggering £3,000 for a simple garden tidy up job. He saved her forking out the extortionate fee, using his strimmer on the grass and weeds before carefully manoeuvring around the bushes she had planted. Once the grass and weeds were evenly trimmed, he went over the area again with a lawn mower, ensuring a flawless finish.
In another video, Garden Yardz Mowing stepped in when another pensioner was told it would cost £400 to get her tiny front lawn mowed. Again, he did it free of charge, much to the delight of people on TikTok.
