RETURN to the WORST YARD on YouTube! Tall grass cutting Australia

- I challenge anyone to post a link to a yard which was in a worse state than this one when I first arrived in September 2021. I would genuinely like to see that, as I love watching these types of videos :)
The background to this one... My awesome Patreon supporters, coupled with the revenue I receive from videos enable me to give back to my community, and this time it was for an elderly gent who hasn't been able to do yard work in quite some time!

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
I'm new to your channel I saw all six video's omg, God bless you 🙏 ❤ always 🙏❤. You have a heart of Gold. That was an amazing job and very beautiful too. Wish to God that your health is well specifically your back. Many many blessings your way.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇🌟💯. New subscriber Love your beautiful work❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏😇👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS.
I come home, my back is killing me (I am retirement age) & see you’ve posted a video. Sit back and watch and just makes my day!!😊 Watched all 6 of the others previously & thoroughly enjoyed them. I suppose the critics will always be around but just wait till they get older and need help, just might change their tune… Thank you for all you do & the big heart you have for those in need.❤️ As always look forward to next video. Cheers!😊
I hope you enjoyed it :)
I don't remember that chair being outside in the backyard when you were there before. Off hand I'd say that gentleman has come out side to enjoy the view. That is such a significant change in his life I'm sure. You truly are the angel on earth! 💯💯👏👏😄😄😄😄😄
I believe that chair is one that was found in the initial video(s). Hopefully the owner now uses it to sit and view his much nicer yard.
I was thinking the same when I saw the white chair. 😊
I had no idea nasturtiums we’re so invasive in Australia! We actually plant them in our vegetable gardens in the US as a companion plant. The flowers are yummy in salad too!
In southern Australia where I live, Nasturtiums are not invasive.....a much colder environment than in the Hunter Valley in Northern Australia. Happy gardening.
Same here! I had no idea that they were considered weeds!
Sean please just go back to this property all the time. It's content for years. I'd love to see the transformation of just keeping it maintained for a year.
I can't believe how green that yard has gotten! Has the older man that lives there been coming out to use it? I hope so, it's amazing how different it is! Please don't let some of these people on here get to you. You ARE AWESOME!! I only wish we could hit like more than once!
Ha I’d like to hit that button every time I rewatch one of Sean’s videos. !
Towards the 25 minute mark (guessing here) Sean moves a hose off a walkway, and there is a large damp area there. Someone moved the hose since Sean was there last, so I’m hoping the gentleman came out to water some plants, or hose something off, and admire his yard. 😉
Old Mate must have been glad to see his Blade Mate come and visit. It was lovely to see his garden again and see its regrowth. Great video and a job well done once again Sean. Thanks.
So I've dealt with some really cruel people over the past few days. There are all kinds of people in the world, I know, but wow. I hope to meet someone like Sean. I know there are Seans out there, right? Love you, Sean. Your friend in Oklahoma, Diane.
I’m sorry, maybe some people are just fed up with Covid, not an excuse though but I’m thinking of it being a cause possibly
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.
It must have been a lovely home at one time. You can see someone was a gardener. We all get older. What a blessing you've been to restore that for him.
Thanks Sean. It is like seeing a old friend again. Thanks for taking us back. You definitely have green fingers the grow back looks so good. 👌🇿🇦
Great to see an "old school" Aussie backyard, most of them are subdivided up now. Room enough for a decent game of footy in the winter and cricket in summer. Still lots of potential wins in this one but I'd love to see how long it takes the grass to overtake the Ivy and the Nasturtiums.
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.
I look forward to seeing how the yard improves over the summer. I bet it will be vastly different. Love how you are using the Toro just watch the video where you fixed the old girl.
I just watched it too. There's another vintage beast of a machine in the works.
Your generous support of those less able makes me proud of you being an Aussie.
I never thought I'd enjoy watching yard upkeep videos, but by watching, I've learnt how to tackle my own overgrown yard bit by bit
An incredible comeback. From brown to vibrant green. Your work is so fine, so pleasing to the eye when finished! You're the best! I trust the old gentleman is keeping well! So glad you are able to revisit... Your work is "Love thy neighbor" in action!
I didn't recognize the yard with all of the green grass, but as soon as you hit the side, I realized it was the three video jungle. Wow, it's nice to see the grass recover.
3 video? There's a few you can catch up on my friend :) It was a 6 part series!
I was sad to see the nasturtiums disappear under your mower in the original videos. I didn’t realize they grow so out of control, though. I’ve only grown them in small pots. Thanks for going back to help, Sean. It’s a lovely yard. Bless the gent who lives there. Seeing the hose out has me wondering if he enjoys watering the plants but can’t manage all the maintenance. You have a fleet of push mowers? That’s so neat! Good on you for using the machines you enjoy. My great-uncle, bless his soul, enjoyed repairing push mowers.
You given so much to this gentleman by giving him less worry thank you getting old is frustrating enough not being able to do what you used to do it is hard to let someone help it shows our weaknesses which is hard mentally to cope
One I want to say that you do an outstanding and beautiful job cleaning up yards and your help for the neighbors in your community that cannot afford to do what you were doing for him is a blessing a true blessing for those in need and you will be rewarded later on down the line for your benefits that you were doing to your community even though I do not live in Australia you are doing an awesome job keep up the good work and for those that can’t tell you thank you
Huge block of land. Could fit another whole house in the backyard
Great to see the yard is recovering well so quickly. The 'new' mower is working real well too, most mowers are going to struggle in long wet grass, will be great for your regular jobs as you said
Brilliant job Sean. The home owner must have been so happy to see you again and for you to make over the garden again. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
I’ve often wandered if you returned to some of these yards. Thanks for sharing your huge heart!
The regeneration of the garden is incredible thanks to your mammoth efforts. Unfortunately the creepers and vines are also flourishing and would take over again in no time if allowed to. That side fence is such a wreck which is a real eyesore. Great result after mowing 👍
I commend you on buying secondhand mowers etc and refurbishing if necessary. We are such a throw away society and need to be aware of all the items we are needlessly throwing away when they can still be used. This is such an interesting and creative garden and I am sure a lot of work went into establishing it so you are really bringing it back to life! You always do a fantastic job Sean!👍🏼🇦🇺
Thanks Sean for all the hard work you put into helping these homeowners out and for bringing us these great videos! I read some negative comments about these people taking advantage of your service but I don't believe that! They're probably embarrassed to ask! All that matters is you're doing this out of the kindness of your heart!
So glad you came back 👍 the grass and flowers look really pretty ❤️ I wish he had of let you take away some of the things out back like the old freezer and some of the broken things
Great job Sean. There’s more green than I thought there would be. Still weeds but I think with your care it will bounce back. Sure the elderly gent is very appreciative. Take care & cheers 🥰
Hands down. The best lawn care guy on RUclips. And I've watched them all. Nice to see some greenery came back to life on this property.
you're awesome :)
He does such good work and it's such a good man god bless you and it's wonderful that you help older people that can't help themselves thank you
I'm really happy that you have been able to get back and help this man (and keep those monster nasturtiums and the other fast growing stuff at bay). I wish the critical posters in the thread would stop just long enough to think about what the world would be if everyone thought like they do...and one day when they have become too old to take care of their property I guess it's just too damn bad eh? (SMH) Good job this man has you to help and that your heart has so much kindness in it.
Awesome video Sean, you went back to that bad yard that took you forever to get through. I'm sure the homeowner was pleased to see you back. Nice job. 👍👍👍👍👍👍😉🇺🇸
I think the owner has been enjoying his chair in the back yard. Also I love that there are 3 incinerators!!
I thought they were incinerators too! Apparently they are (were) compost bins
Thats cool! Nice job. Thank you for going back to see them
Absolutely amazing again. 💕 I'm absolutely certain these people are ever so grateful. They may even be able to afford a regular mow from people like yourself.
I feel sorry for the fella that lives there. You can see part of the siding coming apart on ths driveway side and the metal appliance scattered around. He pretty obviously hasn't much cash to fix anything. Good job on you
you are sweet man thank you for helping the older ones god bless you
Wow you've almost completely tamed the sea of nasturtiums! I applaud your give back efforts. 👍👍
Excellent job! You're the man!(with a heart of gold).😊
And it comes to me, as i see this yard and a house behind it, that no one should be left alone. Especially in the old age. It must be heartbreaking for the owner, to feel weak and weary, to see the owergrowh of the yard and decay of the property.
He was a strong man once, as i gather, he made it all. And now he's old, his home is old, his yard is old. No young life in it. That is wrong. And then you just make a miracle. And maybe... Maybe that would just give that guy another year of life!
Neat. Tidy, Much better for your care and expertise.😊🎉
Thank you for the update.
That vine just seems like the devil! And I already knew some of the other plants take over. While I’m in WA so not quite the same climate I enjoy watching what not to put in my garden (I’m building a house, hopefully will be planting my garden next May/June as we start to come into Winter)
Gday Alicia, congrats on the house, and good luck with it all!
Wauuu, looks amazing and all the green grass looks great. Great job, saluditos
Your a great man. Bless you
Quedó muy bonito felicidades, saludos desde Monterrey, Nuevo León. México
Once again top job buddy love watching your videos such an inspiration
Thanks 👍
Can't wait. I really enjoy your videos.
Great job Sean! Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Sean. Have gone back a third time to do this yard champ. It looks 5 star when yard done...
Not yet, though someone else has a few times
Another great clean up for this property. How is it looking almost one year later? August 29/2022.
Not 100%
Wow, that stuff grows fast.
Nice one mate. Ya did a top job. Its so rewarding to do jobs for people like that.. Xxoo. Peace.
I call this the house of vines….they were literally everywhere. No joke 😂
I can't believe all the growth in 6 weeks. Does he have someone who is going to continue to maintain other than you?
Keep up the good work, mate!
Beau travail - bonjour de France
Great job again!!
God bless you.
The Toro is working well
It felt solid!
Top show fella!
Well done!
No way the devil will take you. He can't have you running around making it all nice and pretty down there.👍😜
😁
Beautiful! You did it again!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
Thank you! 😊
Good job 👍
The house badly needs maintenance also.
I see you have the vining variety of violet there too. How is it not taking over the whole yard like it does in the States?
you might need to check out the 6 parts. The vines had entombed the yard and the house
@@BladeMateLawnCare That was violet?! Maybe it's not so bad here.
@@manwithouteyes not sure what it is, but there were vines everywhere!
Very awesome Job 💚❤️💜💙
This is the point where u start fertilising the grass , get the grass to thicken and regrow and it will smother the weeds :) .
Toro good machines , but break a cable and they can be hard to source the correct one . I had to weld my blades as the engine break cable was too hard to replace , I called American dealers and still couldn’t get the right one sent .
Great job by a big heart. Sean you are an 😇
Good morning Sean 🤚🏻
Morning!
👍👍👍✌✌✌keep up the good work. God Bless
Thanks to all the negative bastards in the comments for watching the video and paying for more of this content!
Bit easier this time around. ONYA Mate.
just a tad easier haha
The fact you came back probably made a bigger impression on this old fellow.
You commented on the grass returning but you were a breath of fresh air to the whole property.
Some of the garden even had the cheek to flower in such a short time.
All those treasured memories of a lifetime are being preserved.
Thanks Sean.
It is spring that is why is grew so much & flowered.
This is beyond wonderful. After a harsh and necessary cut back, I was happy to see plants budding, flowers blooming and lawns greening up. What a great follow up. Thank you.
I should think it's pretty wonderful for the inhabitants, especially as it seems as though they (?) can still get outside to thoroughly enjoy it all, and remember all the hard work they put in, and all the joy out.
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.
My sentiments exactly.
I felt like his wife did the gardens and no matter how weedy it was he can still see his young beautiful wife out in her beautiful garden.
@@dscottfr gardening in the morning then afternoon delight...
I often wonder how they look if you return! Glad to see a video about that.
Looks bad when you return
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
those are the things that stay with you :) thanks for sharing
This comment brought a tear to my eye, but in a good way 🥲❤️
So much growth in just a couple of months it’s easy to see how it got so out of hand before you came along. You’re a decent human being Sean. The world needs more folks like you.
Decent is an understatement
It is spring that is why so much growth.
I’ll second that
Shaun, I should have realised. You are not the guy who leaves someone stuck in the same place after pulling them out of difficulty. This property is truly coming back into the light now.
This gent was obviously a keen gardener back in his day, he must be absolutely thrilled to see his yard coming back to life. Such an improvement already since your initial tidy. Nice one Sean!
Hi Sean, I see there are folks ripping on this old guy for not doing more for his yard. It’s sad that many don’t understand what it’s like to have someone elderly in their family. The yard looks great & the grass is making a good come back. Well done - cheers!
Some ppl are just to judgemental. Sean does an amazing job! Thank You Jib for your service ❤ I am sure at one time the owner was able to maintain his own.
Thanks so much for coming back and helping this person.
If you didn't do it nature would have taken the place again!!!
I'm sad nobody in the whole Australia volunteer to help this person to get rid of the things that need to be thrown away and help with that broken fence.
But at least there's one person helping to get that yard into control. You're awesome!!!
.
I'd help the elderly gent but I live over 1100 kilometers from him and I'm on the same side of the country! 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.
@@A_nony_mous I think something got lost on translation...but ok...meant obviously whoever lives around there ... Coloquial in Spanish maybe too much on translation for our Antipodes. 😉
@@susanagomez955 Thank you for your response. I get very defensive when people make comments suggesting my country's inhabitants are uncaring. I apologize if I misunderstood you. I do totally agree his neighbors could do more to help him.
@@A_nony_mous no problem at all, you know we are countries (Both Spain and Australia) where we can be ...too coloquial?? 🤣🤣🤣 and I have to remember that when I translate whatever it can become not that good in English.
No worries at all ...I can totally understand your feelings and I'm sure you would be helping in this situation if you were closer. At the end the only important thing is to get people on positive actions of kindness because we can all do a little bit and make this World much better. And now must go back to work as my coffee time ended 😉
This is the type of yard ya just want to adopt. It was so damaged, ya just want to help it heal . Then help the scar’s to all disappear . And make it magnificent.
I can see that the homeowner at one time loved working on his garden projects and loves plants. I do too and as I get older and can't work as hard outside as I would like, I am blessed to have someone come and straighten things out. Afterward, I get to walk around and just enjoy my gardens without having to suffer the regret or guilt for not getting things done. I know that we all could use a good dose of helping others and especially those who can't help themselves anymore. Keep up the good work and good videos. I really enjoy your channel.
Thank you for checking on this 80 yr old gentleman. I had wondered if anyone would give him any help. The man who was going to come and help. The comment you help people and then they just take advantage of you is probably that young or middle age but his gentleman sole was appreciative of what you did. Please keep up the work of giving blessings they come back two fold. But that's not what you want but in your ❤️. God Bless you and your family
@Donna, I know, right? I ~love~ gardening, but I'm finding it very hard to get around now, with arthritis and back issues. But I haven't given up! I just look silly on the ground while I pull weeds and plant bulbs. 😉 I bet the guy in video is over the moon, seeing his garden tidy and blooming!
@@saralundy8164 You are 100% correct. Love & Kindness.... Spread that stuff around like butter on bread! GOD BLESS You 🙏✝️💞
Look at the older man chuck s. Does he look like he can do the work himself? No he can't, and I think its great that Sean is helping the old guy out with it. I always loved yard work, but now that I'm 61 yrs old and recovering from cancer, I had to hire someone to come every two weeks do it for me. I am lucky that money is not an issue for me like it is with a lot of elderly people. Show some love to your fellow man!
So true and I regularly mowed the lawns of the rental property for the old couple on my street that owned the rental property when she was caring for her terminally ill husband a couple of years ago and even cleaned up around their house.
I WASN'T in it for the money even though she did pay me some cash. I it because I'm a good person that will help a neighbour if they need help.
I was thinking about him yesterday! Wondering when he was going to post another video for our viewing pleasure!! I'm a happy camper!! 💕💕
I actually like his pace. Not one of those who release a new video twice a day. He leaves you wanting more.
Plus his videos aren't excessively long which also puts me off watching.
You think the neighbours either side would help out the elderly owner and at least mow the front yard when they are doing their own properties...
Totally agree where is the community spirit.
@@mariamccarthy8190 Sean's got it all
Maybe they have their own issues.
It looked like someone had been mowing on the verge for him. It was pretty short and just the bark made it look messy.
I was thinking the same thing.
Judging by all the different plants and flowers on the property. I looks like the homeowner at one time really enjoyed gardening. It’s really kind of you Sean to bring it back to life for him. Blessings ✨
Sean: you are always helping out less fortunate others. You are one special Aussie!!
Sean is one special human.
As I've watched my neighbor of 94 years old go to her shed, on her walker & come out with her mower & getting the acre of grass & leaves taken care of B4 snow falls. Every other week it's a process for her. Refuses help. I did however, help her with her garden & prepare "for next season". She's remarkable. Blessings to you and your family Sean. 🙏💪🙏
That yard is looking beautiful! Much faster the second time around, Sean! You'll have to revisit this place several times so we can all see how it fills in. Great work, man!
thanks Chad
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 🌟🌟🌟
They must have spent hours and hours tending that lawn at some point. So much landscaping and variety of plant life. So nice you can help them enjoy what they worked so hard to put in place.
This puts a spotlight on this person’s need for your help. Clearly no one would let such a beautiful yard get so overgrown unless they couldn’t help it.
Another job well done.

To give is the basis of a sound society. If we are all giving instead of demanding surrender and divvying then we will all get taken care of.
Very satisfying to see the grass coming back through and things greening up and coming back to life. You sir are a deadset legend!
It appears as if you have opened up his life for his friends and family to call on him easier. You've opened the pathways and cleaned all the debris away, and did a fantastic job to boot! Now should he need any outdoor work done on his home, he doesn't have to be worried about what is in the way of that. And the neighbors, who could have helped, now won't have as many mice, spiders, etc in their house either. The elderly did their work. Much more than the punks today who refuse to lift a finger or even see a need. You fail to take care of the elderly, you lose sense of what is right in this world. You're a good man!
The property is quite charming with all the nooks and crannies of the yard. You did such a nice job.
