- I drove past this bloke's house and noticed it was a significantly overgrown. I knocked on his door, had a chat, and offered to tidy his yard at no cost to him. Thanks to everyone who continues to support this channel, which enables me to do this work!

Sean, this was a lot of work. When I see videos like this, where the grass has grown over cement and driveway, it helps me understand how ancient cities get lost. If you don't maintain your environment, nature will take it back. GREAT JOB!! I can hardly wait to see the other half.
it sure will!
now hiring for mowing is lot cheaper as half of the garden is paved
I "hear" so much about SPIDERS😱 and other critters😬 that can be venomous😖 but have yet see as much as a BEE in your videos! Is it simply that they're found all or mostly in more rural/outback locations? And WHAT is the name of thst AWFUL, LONG grass? You have to mow it seven ways from Sunday to FINALLY get it short?! My grass here in Mississippi, US, takes one mow in one direction. I'd hate to imagine the cost of having to cut grass of that kind! Thank you for serving your country in your military capacity and also serving your fellow citizens with your selfless, HARD WORK.
Me Too! So looking forward to the rest of it absolutely wonderful job uncovering the concrete. This man is a blessing to all.
My personal theory is that after this overgrowth has covered up ancient and abandoned cities; in the long run this creates wht we recognise as hills and mountains!!!!!!!
oh my, this will need the big mug of tea for viewing! You really do like a challenge, Sean!
I will be watching from Cape Town South Africa...as always. It is 21h40 here...
Can’t wait for the next one! Hope all is well.
Now this is getting close to an archeological dig--wow what a job. This takes a lot of strength and energy! Great job.
Indiana Sean, finder of lost sidewalks and driveways! 👍
Wednesday archaeology! whoo! and it's a 2fer? perfect. Still loving your work, Sean
geez, I know we joke about archaeology but damn, did anyone else have an entire driveway and drain plugging root ball on their yard bingo cards?
My favorite part is always when you find a sidewalk, pathway or driveway!
Sean it looks so much better. When you’re finished, he can get a regular mow for a decent price, hopefully. Thank you for sharing your hard work.
Uncovering that curb and drive was incredible!!!!!
Please let there be a big backyard cleanup too! :-)
Looking forward to that curb appeal reveal! Nobody does it as well as Sean from Blade Mate Lawn Care does!
And THAT was an Aussie Vegetarian Yard Snek you pulled out of that drain!
haha
It definitely was. Sean was lucky it didn't attack, being that it's a distant cousin of the Drop Bear, though recent studies seem to point to it's natural predator being a Whipper Snipper.
Sean, when I saw you kicking the clumps from the edge, it reminded me of M&D Lawncare, he made a metal scraper that fits his boot, he uses that to move the clumps. Another great job mate, looking forward to part2
Sean it must be so fun and satisfying to work on uncovering driveways, garden paths & borders, sidewalks and streets! I had to laugh when you pulled out the long string of roots from the drain…in my head I heard Ollie from @Drain Addict saying "All good mate" and giving you a Tim Tam and Coke. I wish it was in my power to substitute all of the Kikuyu in your lawns with St. Augustine. But you always take it down and give it your signature edging perfection. Can’t wait for Part 2. Prayers that you and you family are okay ❣️🙏❣️
Amazing, unbelievable! Your work is consistently thorough . "Clean-up" barely describes this transformation; well-done, Sean. Peace.
Sean, that was quite a job and you did it so well. I love to watch you clean up these unbelievably overgrown properties. You are such a sweet and kind hearted guy. It shines through. Keep up the good work. Oh yes, let's not forget handsome.😉🤣
You are a mad mowing machine.
Kudos
They are 3 most satisfying things watching your videos. 1st when you find driveways and walkways and you reclaim it, watching you edge with that weed eater, and most of all How you make it look effortless doing all this. Another good job. GM
many thanks!
I like how he uses his foot instead of shovel while he's edging... very efficient and saves his back!
Looking forward to part2. Thank you for giving people back some dignity.
Mr. Sean, sir, you are the definition of kindness and compassion. Another very well done. I am excited to see the finish. May God forever bless you and yours.
I think my favorite (quick) things to see are the lifting of a weed carpet from concrete! The drain weed was cool too, as you said!
In the US, newspapers and anything else not sent through the mail are not supposed to go into the letterbox, so many people have plastic boxes with the name of the newspaper imprinted on the side right next to their mailbox, but otherwise are on the driveway, the stoop or sometimes on the lawn. Sometimes the newspaper boxes are different colors to alert the delivery person. I’m not sure if they’re provided by the specific newspaper to their subscribers but it seems a better idea than having them scattered elsewhere.
When driving by unsightly yards/property it’s easy to assume homeowner lazyness. It’s great to see someone dig deeper and validate that sometimes people are just in a bad place and or have had something happen to prevent them from proper yard maintenance. This must have been life changing for the homeowner. Awesome Job.
Sean gave much kindness and provided a safe and happy outside environment. Thst is a huge stress removed and the kindness will always remain.
Great job Sean, looks like you got there in the nick of time. Looking forward to the next video.
Good job 👍 Sean as usual
What a difference you’ve made. The edging-wow! That drain root would have made Drain Addict proud
Thought the same, Ollie and that crew of his will be watching you Sean, lol.
LOL!! I was going to say the same thing!!
Wow what a start. The thing in the drain was like a creature from another world. Looking forward to next part
All I can say is I love watching your channel. Never thought I would get hooked. Great work Sean as always 🙂
"Premiers in 8 hours"
28 likes already.... People just know when they know.
Sean I love that you don't judge. You just go in and work your magic.
Hi Sean, you truly are the master of lawn edging. Looks a lot better already. I'm excited for the next video. Warm greetings from Germany.
What a difference you have made on this front yard. It looks 💯 percent better than what is was before. Can't wait for part 2. Great job Sean.
Wow what a mess! Looks like the ground has dried out a bit over there at least. Looking forward to the next one!
I don't know why, but it's so much more satisfying to see you reveal brickwork than pavement although it's great to see formerly unknown curbs, walks, and driveways.
Yard cleanup is so much more then just mowing. Great work as always, love to watch.
thanks Alice
You do like a challenge,you’ve done a great deed for this family.too bad it got to like this in first place,but their is always a story.your a good man.just keep doing what your doing and carry on 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Just need to say I appreciate what you do and all the other guys like Al blaze AP , Top notch, the boring Channel you all are amazing People I love all your videos and what you all do for people
And let's not forget Tim the lawnmower man!! All my favorite guys. Bravo for everything y'all do for sad yards. I just wish my landlord had the same compassion for this property. Keep the fun ones coming guys!! 😉🤩
Yes I sorry I forgot about him
SB Mowing is good as also Fills is real good
Outstanding! I'm sure you brought a smile to his face and made his day! Thank you for being such a wonderful ambassador for kindness. I can't wait for part 2. God bless, Joel
You sure made a big difference there! Great work as usual!
Praying that all is well with you. Awesome job as always. :)
You just made this old heart laugh out loud when you climbed up into your trailer and stomped all that down. I was sitting here thinking son you just loaded all that stuff backwards but dang if you didn’t have your own solution 😂😂😂
doing it the smart way has never been my thing haha
Another freely given gift to a client. Anxious to see part two. Take care, sir!
I agree! His videos give me a lot of anxiety as well! Hmph!
It still always surprises me that you can find the edges. They must be easier to spot from your perspective!---Happy to hear your voice again...hope all is well in your part of the world.
I always wonder about that too
I live in the desert southwest in America but I’m from the Deep South. You need what we call a bush hog or a brush hog to knock down that tall grass. Then come back with your mower. Whatever circumstances this family is going through, you’ve just blessed their lives.
Dramatic difference! Appreciate your hard work and your caring heart!
Sean is top of the line in everything! Bravo!
Great, looking forward to see what you will find. 😊
You truly had a Tiger by the tail on this one. Of course, it’s one of my favorites!🙏
Almost to 100K! Let’s do this! Another awesome job Sean!
Sean what an amazing transformation if the yard. The man must of been shocked at the job you were able to do
finally got to watch you live show. keep up the good work doing great things blade mate lawn care cheers
Looks so much better! Looking forward to part 2.
Love this video, what a thick layer of grass that was on the pavement. The plug of roots you pulled out of the street drain is Penetrator’s job (drain addict). Great job 💪🏼👌
Oh My God!! AMAZING!!!! The most impressive edging so far, can't wait to see the next part
Hi Sean, so the green shirt is representative of your Incredible Hulk strength pulling tree down...? 😂😂😂 Amazing work as usual.
Wow Sean, that grass was thick, the edges extremely overgrown. That was a nice thing you did for this homeowner. Nice video. 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸
🇦🇺💜🇺🇲💚🥰👍🖐
Why is that grass so "stringy like" ?
@@rhondamoore1682 it is a grass I hate..rykuru (not the spelling but pronounced like that) fast growing, lovely when mowed regularly but if left it grows over itself and gets so thick. You mow it but look back later and its standing up. Alot of newer properties use it because it establishes fast.Just thought, this is in New South Wales in Australia. Not sure if you are another country.
Looking forward to this one Sean, find a driveway and maybe a path to front door?
Or the rest of the house even!
Ok...I'm now motivated to cut my grass tomorrow....and my neighbor's lawn as well (they don't have a mower). Great job. Can't wait for part 2.
Good on you...
WOW! uncovering that brick tile work was amazing. You just kept bringing more and more to light. A whole hidden part of a driveway, It looks fantastic now you have cleared it off. Those long edges on the street just come away so easy and reveal the curb in all its grandeur. 🤩 When the edges are done it changes the whole outlook of the property.
After almost 2 years of watching your channel, I still can't believe the root system the grass in Australia has. Another incredible forage through the jungle - looking forward the final reveal!
Well done Sean looking forward to part 2 😁
That next door neighbor must be so happy to see this happening.
Wow I can't wait to see part 2 . I know it's going to be amazing. Great job
So inspiring, love your videos mate!
Sean that sure was alot of grass in just that area and you still have more to do. You out do yourself everytime, looking forward to part 2 of this yard.
Wow! Thank you for helping the family!
So far so good, waiting to see how the rest turns out.
Hope the personal matter turned out OK, Sean. What you got done with this property looks amazing compared to what you started with! Looking forward to see the rest. Take care, mate.😉
I absolutely love that you’re doing this for people in need. Here in Ohio we get some snow (not often but we do lol) and I would shovel elderly folks sidewalks driveways etc. I’d even go a little further and clean off their cars and ask if I can start it to get all the ice and snow off of the windows so they can drive if need be. It’s always satisfying to see them happy and for me a job well done.
Cant wait to see more. Oh this yard is a tough one. Thank you Sean for bringing order to chaos. Looks good. Thanks for helping.
You are a good and decent man Sean. Bless you and keep safe and healthy. Your community needs you. Watching from SC, USA
Oh, my word, the grass is so long and thick. What a big job for you . It will definitely be a big challenge
Looking forward to part two. Thank you, Sean xx
Hope you are ok after smashing through this property. Will catch it tomorrow.
Wow! Not expecting such beautiful brick work!
Glad you noted this person needed a hoped-for boost. Looks like a Landscape Archeology day. You are uncovering all kinds of things. A curb, a driveway, a border, a fence and even tree raising by means of an easy-to-snap set of branches. (I have trees you go to war with.) Kick Boots deployed for lumps, cautionary testing of undersurface and moving piles. This is a fun video Sean. Going to enjoy seeing how it all goes. I looked at the grass and made it to way overgrown and fine and got stuck. So everyone is saying Couch, which means once reset to low it will grow into a nice low lawn. Thanks for explaining today that raking helps deal with the fold-over problem from overgrowth. "That fast" you already made a great change in appearance and livability. Thank you!
Hi Robert, I enjoyed reading this. Thank you!
It’s awesome that you helped this man out. The feeling that he must have after the service you provided had to be elation. That grass is like the grass I had in Florida. It absolutely would overtake everything if you let it. Good job!!!
Looks great. When you finish up in the next video it is going to look awesome. You work so hard and do beautiful work.
God bless you and your family. 👍👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
Great job in the garden and the editing as always Seān.
Thank you so much 😊
Oh my, of all the yard 'transformations' I watch (there are many), yours is the best. You are an absolute gem. I wish there were more people like you in the world.
I'd love to see you use a dethatcher to dethatch that lawn- see if there is any green underneath.
It never ceases to amaze me how many patios/walk-ways you find under grass and dirt. Oh yeah you got me with this one I subscribed. Thank you for helping, Kindness Ripples!
I’m wondering if you ever get amazed by uncovering pathways/walkways or are they standard where you live so you know to look for them? Great work you do. I eagerly await for each video to come out!
I do!
@@BladeMateLawnCare Be careful about those 2 words mate, its got many a person in trouble ;)
@@MooKau_ For many who don't think things through, those 2 words can be the longest sentence of their lives.
@@BladeMateLawnCare Nah mate, is Stockholms :P
I think a driveway is a standard 2.4 metres wide. I might be wrong but it was fun to watch a possible path becoming a driveway
Fantastic effort again Sean. Isn't it sad when both neighbors have manicured lawns and couldn't or wouldn't take a few minutes to a least help with his nature strip.? I love that you can do this for him and look forward to ep 2.
Hola blade maté law care que bueno es verte ver dejar hermoso los jardines felucidades tú amiga Lupe pizarro dé Cuenca Ecuador 😀🇪🇨🌳
If it's satisfying for us to see walks uncovered and lawns made walkable, I can barely imagine how your clients feel. Thanks again Sean, for many reasons.
Love your work ethic. Such a great job .
really a hard but great job ❤️ And the lawnmower is an animal 😂
Sean, you continue to amaze us and make your clients so happy. Waiting for part two, thank you once again for some truly impressive work. OH, and you’ve got ever so nice knees. From PA in the States.
Looks so much neater already. Great work Sean. Look forward to the next one 😊
Seeing the curb again was so satisfying. Helping people is an amazing feeling! Keep up the good work, Sean.
That was really ''killer" grass. Wow, so tough to cut, but in the end a beautiful, neat yard !! Great work Sean !!
Great job as usual, what a difference it makes!!
Thank you for helping the less fortunate. You have been brave enough to tackle this job with minimal equipment that definitely takes more than a strong back and a will to help someone that really needs the help. You obviously have a big heart and a generous nature. God bless you❤
SEAN!!!!!!!!!!!, You superb work mate! Keep up the old man leg day squats also!
Plowing the way with his legs is all the exercise Sean needs
All I can think of is WOW! Your doing a great service for this homeowner.
Can't wait to see the next chapter.
TLC makes a huge difference. I cannot believe how yards get so neglected. Thanks to you all is good. Many blessings Elly
It amazes me how much you accomplish , yet have so much more to do for this poor guy. Thanks for helping out your neighbor. Good luck to you and your family.
Another amazing job, you are doing great work and helping your community.
It must be incredibly satisfying, not only for the home owner, but for you as well to see how amazing the yard looks again. And to feel good inside about helping others out. I love that feeling too❤️ great job!
