Father and son transforming lawns, uplifting community

HOUSTON, Texas -- At the start of sunrise, Daniel Hernandez and his father, Martin, start tackling an overgrown lawn. A service that takes them all day. A service that is also free.

Hernandez said they started helping neighbors in need three years ago after encountering a woman who needed to pay for her medication, instead of lawn care.

"It showed us that there are people out there that need help, and that's what made us do what we do today," Hernandez said.

Twice a week, the father-and-son duo drives around the city and looks for neglected yards. Hernandez started recording their work and posting the videos on YouTube. Their page has accumulated nearly 500,000 followers.

Hernandez explains how they select the yards to cut, and also touches on their growing YouTube page in the video above.
