    Hi friends, thanks for the continued support!
    People often ask how they can help me with my work, but can't commit to a Patreon subscription. Watching and sharing my videos is more than enough of a contribution, however if you are someone who would like to help fund one of my 'free' clean up jobs without signing up to anything, I now have a 'Buy Me a Coffee' page. You can donate $5 or more if this is something which interests you :) www.buymeacoffee.com/bladematelL
    Kind regards
    Sean

    With all the different levels and beds that have purposely constructed over the years that garden was obviously the gentleman's pride and joy. To be still living in the same house that he's lived in for 80yrs he can probably remember building each and every path and bed when he was in his 20's, 30's, 40's etc and it much be such a blessing for him to see his previous hard work emerging into the light even though now he's at a stage in life he physically can't maintain it himself. God bless you for helping this gentleman.

    This scenario brings back a memory or two of my grandfather when he reached a point and slowly couldn't achieve what he always use to do. Luckily we lived few suburbs away and on fortnightly weekends my youngest brother and I were drafted to maintain the yard area. Slave labour under 16 but was paid well in minties oatmeal cookies dry ginger ales and family history lessons.
    Looking back it was at the time tedious to a child but was the best bonding time I had ever had with him

I'm sure that he's excited to know that nature isn't retaking his yards . I can see him just walking around the yards remembering when he or relatives made each bed. Such fantastic memories to have. Sean, you truly are a blessing to so many people!

    All those treasured memories of a lifetime are being preserved.

Afterward, I get to walk around and just enjoy my gardens without having to suffer the regret or guilt for not getting things done.

Someone living on the West Coast of Australia is approximately 4000 kilometers from him. Just how small do you think "the whole of Australia" is? We have a population of under 24 million people spread out over 7.692 square kilometers compared to the USA with a contiguous land area of 7.663 square kilometers. Yes we're an island but a HUGE island with a mostly sparse population except for our State Capitals.

      I don’t know about in Australia, but in the US there are tons of junk haul places, some one-shop one-truck operations, all the way to regional and national franchises. The one we used took nearly an entire apartment’s worth of furniture for about $200 over two trips (it would have been one trip but we kept a few things the first time around that we ended up getting rid of anyway soon after). They took two dressers, two nightstands, three desks, a queen mattress and box-spring, a small dining table and three chairs, two computer chairs, an entertainment center, four large bookcases, and a lot of random small items. I wish more people here used such services. Too many just dump their giant crap by the sidewalk thinking the trash collectors will take it, but an entire couch doesn’t fit in the compactor opening of a garbage truck. Then it just sits on the sidewalk for months at a time before finally being dealt with by the city which gives the property owner a hefty fine.

    Fantastic, Sean. I’ll bet the old boy was over the moon. Your renovation on the Toro sure paid dividends!!! Regards to you all and catch you on your next presentation, Sean. Really appreciate the work you put in and sharing with us 🌟🌟🌟

    Great work mate. I am part of the Mitigation crews for the Rural Fire Service and we provide a Free Service called AIDER which is Assisting Infirmed Disabled and Elderly Residents clean their properties in bushfire prone areas. It is really good work but after i started watching your videos ( 6 to 8 months ago) you have shown me and helped me show others that taking the time and doing that extra little bit can make a big difference to someone's life. Thanks for the inspiration and keep doin what you do mate. Jarrod

    To all the doubters and na-sayers who say you scalped the lawns, it won’t grow back. Neener neener you told em it would come back and it did, greener than ever.
    Looks great Sean.

    Wow, it’s coming back nicely. I’m in the Lower Hunter and we have had a lot of rain, being closer to the coast you would have had more. I see his mate didn’t clean up like he said he would. It’s been 6 weeks and nothing moved from where you put it. A council collection is free. One phone call (or email) and move it to the curb.

    So wonderful to see the plants blooming in the front yard! And the grass growing back. You can tell at one time the old man was an avid gardener. Was that him in the video? I bet he's so happy to see flowers and yard again. Great job, Sean!

    The yard is slowly coming back. That house probably was very pretty back in the day. You can see somebody took pains in doing the landscaping. I sort of wish that backyard fence would just fall over and be hauled out. I think if you sneezed on it, it would probably fall over. Yet another beautiful job Sean !! Thank you for your kindness.

    I find it so funny that, in Australia, nasturtium and Lantana are considered nuisance plants. In America, we plant them lol. I have 3 types of nasturtium and I think 8 Lantana.

  • @dicruz8536
    @dicruz8536 Год назад +1

    It just looks better and better every time you go. The flowers out the front look awesome, they were getting all smothered before. And the old bloke has been sitting outside the back door, which he could never do before. The first clean-up was epic and I'm sure you never want to see it like that again. Still a big job with all that edging and so many noxious weeds, but you are a true champion!

    Sean, so glad you went back after your initial marathon clean up. You have been a huge blessing to this man, and his neighborhood. Its too bad that they dont pitch in and help him just a bit (many hands make light work). But so greatful you are maintaining his yard as often as you can, would be aweful for all your hard work to become a jungle again.

    One of my favourite places that you do. I love these old Australian homes with the tin roof tops & big backyards. In my neighbourhood old houses are being demolished left right & centre for the ugly subdivision Mussolini concrete bunkers . It's depressing. You go into some of the newer developed suburbs & honestly, its looks like you've just entered lego land. Watching your channel is uplifting, its also sooo scenic. Love it!

  • @connierifenburg9758
    @connierifenburg9758 3 года назад +3

    I love the fact that you keep uncovering new “beds” like the cement around the circular stone planter. This man’s yard must have been quite a garden at one time. Maybe not one everyone would have chosen, but he must have loved plants and flowers. Just couldn’t keep it up. He can now go out and enjoy what is being done for him..Thanks Bladmate❤️

    I loved watching the re-transformation! Proving your point that the grass would grow is satisfaction alone, but take it further and put your magic touch on it and beautification takes hold. You Sean, are such a gracious, hardworking man, a man's man! Thank you for your part in this world, and God Bless from Wisconsin, USA.

    I went and bought 4 potted lantanas haha 🤦🏻‍♀️. Did not know they grow so big, and i live in an apartment.
    Thank you Sean for the revisit ❤️. A few more maintenance visits and this place will look stunning.

    It always amazes me how nature can regenerate. The owner was obviously proud of his yard, but unfortunately we all get older & unable to keep up the maintenance. Thank you for taking care of him & sharing with us. I’m still trying to get the Sthil mini chain saw but no one has it in stock until next year. I imagine they are in a container in some port waiting to be offloaded. Keep up the good work & the great videos 👍🇨🇦

    Wow! The yard looks so much better now and such a quick job in comparison to the marathon you did originally. It's great to see. I wonder if the local Lions Club or Rotary Club would help with the fence? The whole street should pitch in and help given that you have probably raised the value in their houses just by mowing this gentleman's yard. Job well done!

    So happy to see the yard again after 6 wks. I knew with your weather and coming into your summer these yards would be looking great in no time. This one proves that and doesn't all at the same time. Better in some places than I thought and still sparse in others. LOL. This update shows exactly how much work this yard takes just to maintain it and how fast it can get out of hand. Keeping in mind this is from a near dead state vs a regularly maintained healthy state. This yard never ceases to amaze. WOW. 👍👍👍👍👍
