NEGLECTED property SAVED! Epic tall grass cutting

G'day friends,
It's great to be back, and I hope you all had a happy new year!
Here's a job that took a few days and a bit more sweat and tears. This family was super grateful for the clean up, and the kids were glad to have their yard back in time for Christmas.
Thanks again for watching, as the client was not charged for this job! It was funded by KZbin advertising revenue, Patreon and the Buy Me a Coffee app!

Congratulations on furthering your education. May 2024 continue to be a success for you. Hug your dad for me. I too was recently diagnosed with cancer, colon, and after my surgery in late November, I’m cancer free and still on the mend. Tell your dad to take one day at a time and that we’re all thinking of him.

[@sharynhay4872]

I too was diagnosed with cancer 11 years ago, a rare lung cancer. I have no evidence of disease and live a normal life at 77. May the God of mercy touch your father with healing favor.

[@roselauver4122]

Congratulations 🎉on going back to school. I hope everything goes well with his cancer many prayers for your father. Good luck n take care.😊

[@nmp6338]

I am so proud of you for going back to school. You will be so successful in whatever you choose to do in life. Your strong work ethic, winning personality and compassionate nature will carry you far in life. Congratulations.

[@kerrydwyer1879]

Definitely..a lovely man.Ihope all goes well...in all areas..From Sydney with honest appreciation.

[@user-iw4lv8gn2e]

Great job!! Congratulations on your decision to return to school!! I did in my 40’s and never regretted one minute. You will find there are so many adults back at school and will have lots of company. All the best Sean.😊

[@kevinculbertson2071]

Another awesome job Sean. The man vs. hose segment had me cracking up! Please keep up those types of viewer engagements. The graphics and music selection were spot on!

[@hilosun]

If you want a job done right “call Sean”, if you want a job done that no one else wants to do “call Sean”. So very proud of you. Proud of the person you are.

[@enduringhope6859]

Shawn, another fantastic yard restoration! You must know that your work is THE BEST. I compare other 'lawn care' channels to yours. You are the earmark of excellence! Your care , thoroughness and precision is unmatched. I've stopped watching several channels, here in the US, because these 'blokes' arepainful to watch!! I wish you the best as you switch gears to school to attain other goals. Will look forward to your upcoming lawn restorations!

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

Thanks my friend 👍

[@enduringhope6859]

You are quite welcome! I meant every word!

[@judithburke1539]

Well done again! Loved the cartoon inserts 😂😂😂!

[@mariabrito1836]

Nós não devemos minimizar o trabalho dos outros todos estão de parabéns 👏👏👏

[@lisafort4537]

I have always considered you one of the best lawn restorers. Watching others when I would see them do a very poor job, I would think that is not how Sean would leave this job. Congratulations on going back to school. I’m sure you will be successful!!

[@JudithGolding]

An epic struggle between man and garden hose. Victory was never certain but garden hose was defeated!

[@markpace779]

Thinking of your family. Cancer is tough, double tough. On a sunnier note, showing the definition of irony after finding the clippers cracked my wife and I up. This is some of the best television out today. Thanks for giving great content as always, Sean.

[@user-xo6cu7xq6k]

Sean, your sense of humor is what makes your videos so special. I loved the tackling of the hose with scene from Apocalypse Now. I also like the way you explain how the grass grows and what it needs based on what type it is. Great job, as always!! Happy New Year!!! May 2024 be your best year ever!!

[@davidking3699]

Watching some of these episodes, I am taken back to my childhood - 50+ years ago - when I see the same type of housing, materials, construction methods etc - so much of it familiar looking from my years growing up in the suburbs of Sydney... as the 10 year old kid mowing the backyard, the front yard, the old lady across the road's yard... it's where I taught myself skills such as mowing lawns well, hedge trimming, edging (although I had to use one of those spiked wheels on a stick instead of power tools) etc I learned that fresh green grass does not burn well in an incinerator, it just smokes out the neighbourhood... I also learned how to fix 2-stroke mowers too, out of necessity... which was a great skill set to go on an learn how to fix motorcycles next, then cars... 10 year old me appreciated quality work when I did it in the 1970's... and I appreciate seeing it now... Well done Sean, the kids will have the best time under that shady tree in the back corner, playing on the concrete and grass, depending on the game at the time...

[@lgDukeCity5018]

Ah, memories, I used those spiked wheels too here in the US when I was a kid

[@kerrydwyer1879]

Hi..Im female from Sydney's northern beaches...I worked with horse so fairly strong.I would help the older ones with their gardens... People like yourself and Sean are precious..Im older now and any help I get brings tears to my eyes( spinal damage and blah blah blah).I love these videos and your comment is really encouraging and nice...😊

[@karencox3235]

Sean's whipper snipper action is the BEST! So satisfying to watch him edge and trim. He's so comfortable and confident wielding that thing! No one else compares.

[@JB-xn6sf]

I'm amazed at the amount of paths in these yards. Big yards, too. You provide a wonderful service to folks. howdy from Phoenix Arizona USA.

[@KCRileyGyer]

It’s actually the bigger the yard, the older the house in these videos. Newer houses 20 years old or less have smaller and smaller yards.

[@boniemann]

Howdy from Peoria, AZ 😁

[@mattstephens8887]

Not only paths - they ALWAYS have the square clothesline thing on the pole….

[@mazevx2451]

​@@mattstephens8887they were very popular in Europe as well, some people still have them

[@bronwynmartin5486]

The clothesline is standard in Australian yards. New ones fold and are removable if you're entertaining. Most people dry clothes on a clothesline. Dryers are expensive to run and not necessary as we generally have great weather for drying clothes year round in our southern states. The Tropics are different. Can't close your wardrobes in The Wet due to the humidity. My daughters in law are time poor so use their clothes dryers much more often.

[@maeveegan2510]

Great job as always hope your classmates can keep up with your amazing work ethic and wicked sense of humour. All the best for you and yours is 24👍

[@joy2own]

Great work, Sean! I'm curious about your schooling. Keep us updated! ❤

[@judithtomasko2108]

I’m very curious too. What are you going back to school for? Does Australia military have the G I bill that helps with school like the US? I admire you for doing this. Best of luck and best wishes to you and your family. (Especially the twins cuz I’m a twin too.)👍🏻🥰

[@bmanzer]

I liked the "Man vs hose", it's mesmerizing to watch the walkways appear from the cover. Awesome work! The elite edging does make it pop!

[@nickirutkowski6517]

Excellent on going back to school !! Your videos have taught me the finer points to edging and mowing. Best of everything in this new year.

[@debracollins9133]

My goodness. That looks like a totally different yard! Those Morning Glories were wild. Loved the hose segment! Your videos are a pure pleasure to watch. Awesome job, as always. Best wishes for a happy and prosperous new year to you and your family. ❤️

[@eileenharding5603]

I can understand how people get overwhelmed,the gardens are just so huge !,but my goodness,you do an unbelievable job,amazing work

[@lulunz6809]

There was something about this job that made me want to move to Australia, buy a property with a big back yard and buy a ride on lawn mower so I can spend all day mowing the lawns lol. What an amazing transformation Shaun. I never imagined it would look this great once you were finished. That nightmare Morning Glory obviously floated over our way from there???!! Nightmare stuff for sure and almost impossible to get rid of. Still, it didn't stop you from doing your magic and its lovely to hear the kids are happy. Hey congrats on going back to school!! That is amazing to hear and I am thrilled you are still doing these types of properties. I have watched you since I found you doing the huge job for the elderly man when you just had the basic tools. Man you worked so hard! It was the most impressive, generous thing I had seen someone do and I was so moved that it was for someone who obviously had been there many years and it was simply too dangerous for him to be able to walk in his back yard. Your videos was the first time I really started using You Tube as a way of relaxing and for discovering new idea's, new inspiration and great ways of connecting and supporting people who are doing great things. Of course your passion for mental health also resonated with me. While I haven't been able to contribute financially, I watched your videos, liked and of course subscribed. You are an inspiration. All the best for you and your family for 2024.

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

It's always a pleasure to read your comments. Thanks and best wishes in 2024 xo

[@BrendaOsif-zk4fp]

Great job Sean❣️Wishing you success in all your endeavors this year. I’ll be right here waiting for your next video. Take care young man, am proud of you.💚

[@lauratcollins]

Maybe some of your mates could guest star for you when you are too busy to film. It also would be fun to hear the blade mates interviewed about what they do differently since coming to work for you. Remember when you collected rubbish from a pond? Could maybe film other community cleanups. “Coffee with Sean” would be a nice series. Just don’t forget about your fans, okay?❤❤

[@aliceklundt]

Blademate sets the standard for lawn/yard care.

[@justtrouble1040]

Sean, you amaze me. Who lives here? I’d have to be seriously incapacitated to have a yard like that. You take care of yourself this year. Much success with your business, and your supporters expect nothing less than high marks in your education. Go get’m!!

[@euniceloy7120]

😂😂 "Man versus hose." THE DRAMA! THE SUSPENSE! 😂😂😂

[@robynburgess2980]

Beautiful work and when you said epic clean up you didn’t exaggerate. You work so hard and your boots sure take a beating as well. Congrats on furthering your education. What an amazing inspiration you are to many many people Sean. I’ve been following you from the beginning and will continue to do so. Thank you for all that you do for those who can’t do so themselves. Bless you and your family.

[@user-br8ql5oi6m]

The Rescue in the Fescue! What an epic deliverance of a hopelessly tangled Garden Hose! Always enjoy your videos mate!

[@teddie_schaefer1963]

Looks fantastic! Congratulations on going back to school!🎉🎉

[@libbyecheverria730]

Shawn, I'm so happy for you that you have wonderful new enterprises starting! You have the ability to do absolutely anything you want. No matter what you do, your quiet dedication to the wellbeing of others will inspire those around you. I'm glad you're going to keep up the channel, but I'm also glad you're growing in other ways. May 2024 be a blessed year for you! And PS you ALWAYS make me laugh. 😊

[@priscillalemond9694]

Very proud of you. I love your work.

[@Vistasabia]

The dreaded morning glory and hose eating grass. You came, and you conquered 😁🙌🙌🙌💯💯💯💚💚💚. Happy New Year Sean!

[@cammixc]

That is some property! Not many newer houses have such a luxury for sure. Nicely done.

[@valeriepasbrig2864]

Wow, that yard is huge! It looks great. Congratulations on going back to school. That's awesome!

[@peter6411]

Great job Sean, I hope 2024 is a happy, great and healthy year for you and the family. All the best Peter in the UK

[@juliemclaughlin5407]

Sean, you are the first person I've ever watched mowing lawns for free. And now that I've begun to watch a few others as well, I can't help but compare them all to you!!! I know they are doing great jobs for people who can't afford lawn care, but still, you've spoiled me with your striving for perfection and your integrity. Others do not stand up to your standards and I just thought you should know that you are the best lawn sculpture out there (I've watched usa, australia, the uk, and some asian place, maybe thailand). You surpass them all. And great job on those vines along the fence. Amazing the transformation you've made for this homeowner.

[@user-tj4fl4ee6t]

👍✋Россия смотрит, с Новым годом!

[@bjsaito448]

Amazing transformation! You are the only ONE who shows the before and after so well with your videos! Enjoy a great 2024. Thanks for sharing your work with us.

[@arlenemachado951]

Shawn! To your viewers you are an inspiration by your kind heart and willingness to reach out. To your children you’re their example to work hard and reach for the sky. To the people you help you’re an angel to come alongside and lift them up. To your wife you’re her stronghold and blessing! We pray the very best in your college endeavors. You are never too late to learn!

[@bonnieslakter3971]

I had wondered how a homeowner could let this happen to their property, then I got stage four cancer and the answer is clear to me now, life just happens to good people and living or surviving becomes the priority. The homeowner does care about the property and the neighbors but no longer can keep up the maintenance due to illness and or finances. This gift of a yard makeover means more than you will never know.

[@teresacartwright5406]

Congratulations on going back to school! With your work ethic it doesn't matter what courses you're taking, you're gonna ace them! I'll say a prayer for your father, that his recovery be rapid, uneventful & complete. Take care of yourself, pace yourself - if you try to do too much, you'll just burn out.

[@PattyDooley]

Congratulations on school! I know you'll do great! Nice job on the yard too!

[@lindaarmiger217]

An awesome transformation for this family and a wonderful Christmas present. Man versus hose battle was well fought and conguered. Equally impressive victory was man versus vines! Good luck with school.

[@kathymonahan8024]

I love it when you discover the hidden driveways and pathways leading to patios the are crying out for a backyard BBQ

[@avacadman2155]

Of all the garden makeovers I have watched Shaun, your lawn mower is the best! Unbelievable how it cuts through everything and leaves a clean cut! 👍👍👍👍

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

Awesome! Thank you!

Your archaeological search and eventual excavation of the horrid hose was epic!

[@bradfordhughes4533]

That was a nice job you sure took lots of grass to the dump the yard looks good 😊.

[@seanslawns]

From lil Sean to Big Sean…congrats on going back to school! That’s a huge choice and it will pay off big for you. You da man Sean!

[@patientorlando1306]

"Another rare sighting of the elusive 'incinerator slaboralis' - once very common in many Aussie backyards, sadly due to reduction of suitable habitat many slabs have become extinct.....lovely to see such a prime specimen in it's native environment." (spoken in the mode a-la Sir David A) Well done on another super-human effort Sean, your hard work is so appreciated by us!🤩

[@miriam2909]

Really curious about your new studies ! Good luck with the new turn in your life and I hope we still see you on here regularly. We’ve been so rained out recently i bet this backyard is lush and green again now. All the best eh

[@user-bc4gf5yx8h]

Happy New Year Sean! Awesome transformation! Congratulations on going back to school! Let us know how we can help you. What type of videos should we expect from social media funded groups and how will the new business plans impact KZbin viewers?

[@rozbarber3195]

All the best for 2024 Sean and your family. Hope all your hopes and dreams come true. I’m one of your early followers and have loved watching your journey and growth with your channel. You do wonderful work and you are still the best with the whippersnapper! Looking forward to the next stage of your journey. Good luck Sean, you deserve it!

Congratulations on returning to school. Years ago, I too returned to the university to finish my degrees. It was the best thing I did. It was difficult working full time and taking class BUT it was well worth it. Again, congratulations and have fun. 😁

[@elizabethborgman7153]

Great job Sean! Loved the man vs. hose segment! I think the skateboard broke because someone was practicing too close to the morning glory! It was hungry and took a large bite out of it!! That kid is still running across Australia, yelling and screaming!! Good luck with going back to school! I went back to school at 25 and became a Licensed Practical Nurse with 3 young children. I later went back to school again and became a Registered Nurse. Went to school 4 days a week, 3hrs round trip and worked 3 12 hr shifts on Friday, Saturday, and Sundays. I had 5 kids by then, 1 in college, 1 a Senior in high school, and 3 grade school! It meant so much more to me then because I really was determined to do it!! Now, after being a nurse for 38 1/2 years, 24 as an RN, I'm retiring on my 65th birthday in April!! Covid done wore me out as a Nurse! And as a patient, it just about killed me 3 years ago, but I'm too stubborn!! Your videos helped get me through. My grandson, Spencer, got me to watch your videos. We still watch you! Thank you for helping me to heal mind and spirit wise. Thank you for taking me on a journey without leaving home! You never know who you touch and i wanted you to know you have made a difference in my life. Sorry for the long post. God bless you and your family. May 2024 be the best year you all will have, best wishes from rural, middle of nowhere, Missouri USA.

[@chriscooper654]

Ah, morning glory my old foe, how I don't miss ya... Well done as ever, Sean. Take care.

[@kmw4359]

Amen to your comments on not mulching brown grass. The gardeners who care for the green space in my development mulch the dying grass and it does exactly what you say: it leaves a suffocating matted mess.

[@labbrockington7854]

Sean, so good to see you again this year. As your life takes you back to school I pray God's blessing upon you and your family. So sorry to hear about your dad. My husband passed 5 months ago from cancer. Hug your dad tell him to keep fighting. Morning glories are pretty to look at but they can take over a yard in no time. The yard looks so good, great job as all ways. God bless you and your family. Healing and wholness to you and your family in Jesus name. 💜🤗🤗🙇‍♀️

[@phyllisvanhuss1190]
