MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - A thoughtful act from a South Florida landscaper has gone viral on social media after he took care of one his customer’s lawns unannounced.
Doorbell camera video captured landscaper Greg Colden taking care of a lawn in Miami Gardens, but what homeowner Timothy Ramjohn didn’t know was the job came free of charge.
“The name of my business is AG&G Lawn Services,” Colden said. “It’s a challenge, but it’s joyful.”
Ramjohn, who has been Colden’s customer for over four years, said he fell on hard times during the pandemic and could no longer afford the cost.
When Colden, who works at a water treatment plant and owns his own business, saw his customer’s lawn needed some attention, he decided to lend a helping hand.
“I specifically seen that it was overgrown again, and I was like, ‘You know what?’ I was cutting, and I’m like, ‘Something’s going on,’ so of course, I did what I do,” Colden said. “I come and cut my customer’s yard.”
He said that was the way he was taught growing up.
“Not everybody is fortunate, especially in a time like this,” Colden said. “It’s really rough for a lot of people to maintain their lawn. In order to help or to receive help, you also have to be helpful. I put my heart into helping people.”
Ramjohn said he was confused at first when he noticed his lawn was perfectly manicured.
“I was at a doctor’s appointment because I go every month to get a checkup,” Ramjohn said. “I came back, and my wife said, ‘Babe, somebody was cutting our grass, so I checked my Ring doorbell camera, and I look, and there was Greg, and I hit him up like, ‘Bro, what are you doing?’ ‘I saw your grass kinda high, and I’m just showing you some love, dude.’ I’m like, ‘It’s 100 degrees outside.” He’s like, ‘You need the help,’ and I was just speechless.”
“When you see people that are thriving to make themselves a life, you can’t deny the fact that there’s a hardship going on, and they need help, so our spirits connected, and I just couldn’t deny it,” Colden said.
Ramjohn shared the thoughtful act on Tik Tok, which has gained more than a million views.
“I’ve had landscapers in the past, but this dude cuts your lawn like it’s his lawn,” he said. “Not only was he cutting my lawn, but Greg was encouraging me, you know? Like, ‘Hey, hang in there, buddy,’ and my son was in the hospital for four months in the NICU at Joe DiMaggio. Greg, ‘Hey man, I’m stopping by. I’m going to cut your lawn again.’ I’m like, ‘Man, you don’t have to do that again.’ He said, ‘I already did it.'”
Colden said he loves helping others and just did what felt right.
“I live by the motto of love,” he said. “The only thing that we can have in this life is to give love.”
