It would have been nice to see this with a lawn that actually has leaves on it.
Absolutely 💯 percent happy with my lawn sweeper. Picks up all those pine needles, pine cones, and leaves. Plus easy bagging
THANK YOU for showing the speeded up sweeping of a large swathe so we could get the full effect. I'm convinced this is what I need now.
Thank you so much! Neighbors tree drops tiny leaves and stems on my driveway.. Your fix with the addition of the strip of tape at the bottom front edge is solving my problem picking up the mess!
Thanks for the info. I've recently been considering one of these. My grandpa had one when I was a kid. My lawn looks like 5 miles of bad road compared to yours but I have a ton of pine needles and I just can't do all that raking anymore.
pumped, i just bought this to pickup olive & oak leaves from my front yard. running my greensmaster at .50" and HATE sucking the leaves into the reel. Thanks for the review Doc!
I didn't even know this was a tool that existed! why the hell am I raking my yard?
You're the Man, Doc. Thanks for the tutorial, I'm going to make the purchase/ adjustment.
You are man!! 😁 I can't wait to get mine! Thanks for the video!
Good idea! that modification should work with any sweeper.
You DO have a stunning yard. I actually thought at first it was artificial grass, lol. Thanks for the video -- good tips!
Just bought mine! Thanks for the video. Hoping it will grab my thatch strips after a big rain in my backyard as well. Guess we'll see.
I was just thinking the same thing after running a power rake if it would pickup the the excess debris.
Excellent. Thank You for such a great idea. I’ll probably go the same to mine. Keep those videos up.👍🏼
You're the Man, Doc. Thanks for the tutorial, I'm going to make the purchase/ adjustment this week. Impressive video, and you can sit Indian Style.
Doc is the Man!
I remember a short time ago you scalped your back lawn. Wow does it look great now. It looks like a putting green. Your recommendations for my neighbors lawn worked out fantastic, it's all nice and super green now. Thanks Doc, great video.
Yes, the fairway project turned out great.
very thorough video, thanks. thanks for indexing it too! If i get one, i might try the mod with a piece of board from hobby lobby.
Great tool, Doc
I was thinking about the lawn sweeper I remembered as a kid in the 1960’s, didn’t know they still made them.
Thanx for the valance engineering tip.
Not too shabby doc
This modification works like a dream!!! All I need now is a mod to keep the bag from coming off so easy during use. Overall an amazing lawn must have!
Bungee the loops on each side.
I will be ordering this real soon. Thanks Doc
Diggin the beard! Keep it growing!
Bro...your lawn is so immaculate I would be scared to step on it.
And you dam sure wouldn't be coming over my house,you would probably suffer PTSD just from the sight of it.
great review, yes, would be nice to see this work in a lawn with leaves, but that just shows that he's on top of his lawn and we can clearly see that. great job
Yep,you da man!
Hi Doc. Your tape fix brought back a few memories of how duck tape saved my butt of the coast of South America chasing bad guys. Great look of success when your fix worked.
*Instead of tape i would probably use either a door sweep from Home Deppt or garage door trim*
You tha man!
Thumbs up if you hate raking leaves!! 👍 Automate this thing right away
dang it doc, I only have a 1 car garage and the shed is pretty much full!
ps keep the beard ... winter is coming
That’s the trick I’ve been looking for.
Doc, do you think this will work great for when it’s time to scalp and pick up all the Bermuda clippings?
Really happy I came across your site and videos. Bought the McLane mower and just ordered the sweeper. I have emerald zoysia in South Carolina and looking forward to using the new equipment. Any advice on Zoysia is appreciated, although I know you're a Bermuda guy. Take care.
Dock could you make a video on the affects of mulching leaves with a reel mower will it do it better or not at all?
Nice stuff. Being that this pushes on the grass blades in one direction, could this be used as a post-mow striper?
Just got a similar one from a relative that’s made of metal. It retails for $349. It also needed modifications. Going to try that duct tape mod today.
BTW - I have the opposite problem - Magnolia leaves.
Good modification.
Any ideas on maintenance ?
I've been using a Craftsman.
Life saver!
Hey Doc will it pick up aerater plugs/cores
That’s great if you have a nice level lawn with no hills
Great review, btw, what kind of mic equipment do you use? You video sound amazing!
Will this pick up pine cones and twigs?
Would a sweeper like this work on a long gravel driveway? Or is the a sweeper that works well for removing leaves off of the gravel driveway?
Do you think it will work on taller/longer bermuda? I know you said yours is at 1/2", but mine is at 2.5" and I was curious if you thought that would hinder anything.
Doc does this pick up the plugs left by an aerator. I will be top dressing soon and this would save a ton of time from taking the aerator cores. Plz advise
I don’t have leaves but I do have Pine needles. Would be interested to know if this would work for She’s sweep a Pineneedles.
I have walnuts.. if it snows before I get all of them out, the squirrels go nuts and I end up with super sharp walnut hull pieces that hurt, (think Legos and barefeet).. will one of these lawn sweepers help pick up those pieces??
Will it pick up acorns?
How do you think this would do on wood chips? I had two trees removed in my backyard and have some wood chips
Is this the 2 inch wide tape or the wider roll that you used? Thanks.
Will that brush pick up acorns?
Will this pick up acorns
Does it pick up pine cones?
Very nice Doc...reminds me of your reel mower (Fiskars ) video.....do you ever use that reel mower? If so how the end results on that FISKARS?
Now that I have the Mclane I don't need the Fiskars. I can do all my little edging in manual push mode.
Please can someone tell me if this would be good to pick up / sweep up Hickory nuts from the lawn .. please .. if someone has one and can try this for me .. even if they don’t have hickory nuts but can throw acorn or anything on the grass so I can see.. thank you in advance
Where can I purchase this ? Thanks so much
Just bought one. I have difficulty with wheels turning. They just stop turning and skim over. Do I squirt some WD? It's really not worth 200.00. Basket quickly adds up. Arms get tired quickly from pushing.
This unit looks like it will work great on artificial grass
Will this tool pic up worm casts? Looks good for leaves.
If they are DRY.... it will scatter them.
does this work with pine needles?
Wow Doc! This is something I need with all of my large oak trees here in SC
Speaking of trees, I don’t think I am going to be able to successfully maintain Bermuda in my yard with all of the shade.
Will all of the products you recommend, (PGF complete, Super Juice, DuoCide, humic, etc) do well with Zoysia grass?
I love your advice, website and program, but think i need to switch to Zoysia
Thanks in advance
I have been using the lawn sweeper for the past 10 days. I did your duct tape modification and this sweeper works awesome!!! Such a time saver and it reduces the amount of time I have to use the blower and rake. GAME CHANGER! Thanks Doc!!
I have zoysia, follow Doc’s program, use all the same products, and have a gorgeous lawn. It has responded well to the program and products. Only difference is That I mow a tad higher.
Hello Doc! I'm a subscriber and fan! Curious about the Bermuda grass book...I have Zoysia grass, can I just go off your Bermuda advice??
Thanks-Danny
We'll have a "conversion" page with tips for all grasses.
Do you think it would work on grass clippings for when the grass gets a little long?
I would think so.... I'll test it next time I need it.
Yes it will. When I was young our first mower had no bag and we had a Parker lawn sweeper that we used to clean up the grass after mowing. The clippings fed the vegetable garden.
Just surface stuff? What about the leaves that are down by the soil? The grass grew past it. Had to rake by hand because the blower wouldn't get it out, they are so compacted to the soil. 15k sq feet. Ugh!
Hey Doc, I mow without a bag....Do you think this will pick up the grass clippings?
Yes Wendy... it will. Just learn to use the up and down handle raise to reduce the DRAG on the lawn. You'll understand when you try it.
What model is this sweeper?
I was wanting to see how you dump this in the paper bags that are used for "leaf" pickups :(
Nice video Doc, will this pickup acorns?
I would have to guess no.... I think they would just shoot out the front.
How To with Doc Even with your tape fix?
where did you buy it for alittle above a hundred bucks! its 200 on homedepo and amazon!!! its so expensive. I have another idea to add on to your modification. you can apply a half adhesive vinyl door draft stopper, which they sell for like 5 bucks at home depot onto your leaf sweeper for extra durability.
Hey Doc. Your "neighbor" down in Newnan. My lawn has been starting to brown over especially in front with the extra shade. I noticed yours isn't. Should I be worried? I know your lawn is MUCH healthier than mine. Is it too soon to brown? Neighbors here are too. Sad to see my green grass go to sleep.
My areas with shade are "browning" watch tomorrow's video.
Will it pick up acorns and twigs from oak trees?
I would like to know also. I also wonder if it would pick up oak leaves and acorns in St Augustine grass. They always fall in between the grass blades so we have to rake hard.
I'd like to know too! There's an acorn sweeper out there buts it's super expensive.
Do you think it would pick up acorns from a Live Oak tree?
Tough to say.... with the MOD... it might work. Without it I think they would just shoot out the front.
All I want to see is it working
will this work when you dethatch?
Sure, anything that is loose and above the grass will come up.
Why don’t you use a blower?
Lower it. It adjusts in front. Ur in the middle setting
Forget the duct tape. That cheap fix won't stay on. Instead, get a length of aluminum/vinyl door weatherstrip, or like a door sweep, and drill small holes along the width of the sweeper where you stuck the tape, and attach the door seal with little machine screws.
Gorilla tape... not duct. Been on there 3 years now and is flexible and replaceable.
Why's it so short.
Ya... make it thick
It's no shave November for Men's Health.
Did a lawn renovation and my maple tree decided to produce seeds. Do you think it will pick up those “helicopters”?
Yes as long as the grass is not too long.
Ever heard of a leaf blower?
Have 3...... they won't move pines needles in short tight Bermuda.
Does it work on wet leaves?
I did some smaller wet leaves and no issues at all.
Doc you should update your avatar character... That guy looks 18 with a full head of hair.
I know... I need one more sexy like me.
Just mow it... lol
Facial hair 👎🏻
