There was no chance I was taking this client's money!!! (Overgrown yard clean up)

Following another week of downpours on the east coast of Australia, there appeared some kind of warm, shiny orb in the sky. Making the most of the presence of this strange phenomenon, I was able to get stuck into some backlog (again), and tackle this job for a new client!

Sean, you are probably the only lawn care guy who will move a trailer, a hose, a table, a trampoline, or a bunch of rubbish in order to do a good job for a veteran or elderly homeowner in need. Thank you!

[@kevinwilliams563]

Sean you are a good man. Don’t let anybody ever tell you any different. Nice work!!

[@cocoanutty2864]

Sean, I want to truly thank you for being yourself. Every time I see one of your videos I am reminded of my father who passed 3 years ago. Up until he passed at 80, he helped everyone he could. Weekly he regularly mowed all of his neighbors yards on his John deer mower. His favorite quote was "I may be old and wobbly, but I can still sit on my butt and fight grass!" Even at his advanced years he found his own way to still feel useful and went to war on his little tractor every week fighting grass to put a smile and look of relief on the faces of his neighbors. You remind me of him with every video, and for that I will forever be grateful...Thank you Sean, from the bottom of my heart.

[@prettybrowneyez3338]

You, sir, are a BLESSING!! May God bless you more than what you're giving, because good and hard work are hard to come by. ❤️🙏🏼

[@sithlore843]

Sean you are an amazing human being. I hope the veteran gets his much deserved help promised to him. The ruts will self heal over time as you said. The lawn turned out great as always.

[@jackmeeker6194]

WOW, Shawn, that Conch grass (I think that's how you spell it - I don't believe we have that type of turf in the States) is some incredibly thick and difficult grass to mow. You certainly tackled it and the results are spectacular. I love your Tilley hat. Great sun protection. Lastly, I like your comments, which help the viewer understand what you do. Your videos are very enjoyable. I enjoy every one of your videos. :-)

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

Thanks Jack

[@allanmowz]

The grass you're refering to is "couch" which understandably is a weird one to spell like that. This grass if I'm not mistaken is "kikuyu" but the two are often used interchangeably as they are similar. Here in New Zealand we originally imported kikuyu specificly to stop errosion of our sand dunes on the beaches. It did that job well by sending it's long runners all across the sand, and then went on to conquer the rest of the country as well. It makes a great hard waring lawn and we use it for sports fields a lot as it's self repairing.

[@janeames1513]

@@allanmowz we did the same thing here in the lower united states but we imported kudzu from asia and it took over everything..it's worse than poison ivy ..it grows in places that nothing really should..it was used as erosion control as well

[@jenksify]

Gotta admit i never would have expected to see you uncover a drain grate like the one in the back corner of the yard. Also those must be some serious loops to jump thru. Like another commentor said it's the same the world over when it comes to veterans. There was no way he would have let it turn into a literal jungle if he was even remotely able to cut it.

[@briansbuildsandoutdoors4936]

It's nice to have a bit of sun to help dry things out. I used to have a yard that would go swamp on me in the rainy season and it would be a nightmare when I finally got to it. Had to do several passes just to make any progress. And I imagine you know this feeling: you think you're done and you're putting the mower away and when you look back you see all these grass blades cautiously standing up and looking to see if you're gone yet.

The great grandmaster of gardening gazed aghast at the grody and grungy grounds of the guy who had gotten in touch. He greased the glistening gears and guards, and ground the guts of his gizmos, and got the gang going on the gargantuan grossness. It was a good guess as to gaining on the grotesque greenery, but after going through the ghastly gantlet, the grounds and grass were gorgeous. The gregarious gardener was gobsmacked and gloating, glad that none could gainsay the glorious green greatness of his genius. Gee.
