This Neighbour Tried to Stop Me Building a Dream Garden for FREE
"This Neighbour Tried to Stop Me Building a Dream Garden for FREE" is the video doing the heavy lifting on Mark Marshall's channel. Mark knocked on Jay's door with an ambitious idea: a football pitch in his back garden. The description calls it the hardest free transformation he has ever done, a job he expected to take three days of graft, until the neighbours made it plain they did not want the crew there.
Three weeks on, it has passed 2.4 million views and still draws far more each day than anything else on the channel. Behind it sits his security build at home, billed as the most secure house in the world, made with Ajax Systems kit and Sean from InHome CCTV after the description's long year of work on the house and garden. Further back is the one-day makeover of the worst garden on his street, a thank-you to the neighbours who lived beside that build.
Nothing new went up this week, and the channel ran well below its usual daily pace, though about 6,000 people still subscribed. Among DIY and home channels close to his size, only two added more views over the week: Fab Rats, riding a flood rescue in their Utah town, and CyFy. Mark's garden for Jay keeps most of his share moving.
