- The La Nina effect has really set in for the season here in Australia, and it's a nightmare for a lawn mower man's schedule!

In England, we call them Strimmers. In America, I believe they are called "Weed Whackers" - a particularly apt name - but "Whipper Snipper" is a great name to make a boring job more fun. I can just see the assistant's face when I walk into my local garden centre and ask for a spool of whipper Sniper line... Thank you Sean for inspiring us all to be better grass cutters.
And in South Africa, it'sa called a weed-eater :)
In America we call them weed-eaters. Whipper Snipper does make it more fun though! 😁
It's all about the edges! Really does make the yard. I'm so jealous of your whipper snipper skills! Looks great Sean. 👍
Thanks 👍
A good job mate. Another tip for wet grass mowing - just like cricket grounds drive a rope around to remove surface water, dragging a garden hose over the surface removes the droplets on the top part of the grass leaf. This means when you cut there is far less water on the leaf, so it stands more upright, and weighs a lot less when catching. That only makes a difference obviously if it's stopped raining . . .
Also a good idea for morning dew to keep the lawn pristine. I'll admit that it's not something I have the energy to do everyday to my own lawn, but a great tip for those looking to get some serious lawn porn!
I do the same when I need to with a leaf blower. Much faster and thorough imho
@@BladeMateLawnCare another idea, use a gas/petrol leaf blower after the rain stops or on the morning dew, should help tremendously
@@jamesalinio5277 I was going to suggest using a leaf blower. Great minds think alike.
Could something be added to the front of the mower to do this as you go maybe?
Would love a "drive-by" photo of some of the recently reclaimed couch lawns which were totally brown when you finished whacking them into submission. Bet they are soaking up the rain and are turning green again. Fabulous job as always, Sean.
Reminds of lawn work during a good old Scottish summer.
Hey Sean! Next time you have to cut in the wet grass, go over the entire lawn with your blower first. "Drive" the water to the highest point of the lawn with the blower just like a hair dryer. It won't help the undergrass but it will save you some time and strain on your equipment. This lawn turned out great. The edging...Brilliant!
Thanks for the tip!
I wonder if you also blow dry it at the end too, it may just dry it enough after that it won’t cause problems for the grass after the cut.
@@hils22787 I don't know? I usually cut the lawn and let it dry out while I do the edging and trimming, then I go over the lawn at the next higher setting just to pick up the scraps of grass into the bagger. Good luck Sillygoose!
Ohh! Too much rain for your area, no wonder I wasn't seeing videos from you. I appreciate any you post. I can wait.
Fron dry California, USA
Glad to see you still at it. Mowing in the rain isn't ideal, but has to be done some times.
Thanks Brad. Gotta keep grinding, mate. You know how it is 😉🍻
What a beautiful combination of brick and porch railing . Beautiful .. I keep my yard nice edged ,weed whacked , mowed , cleaned up always 🧹 clean up street .. the whole nine yards . Mean people . Harm my property etc . Why because I like my yard nice ? .. And they’re offended by it?? WHY .. I’m not a karen ..I don’t call on any one ., if their grass is long or uncut . ( I could careless what others do or don’t do ) It’s for me ! It’s why I don’t let hubby cut grass any more . Cause to him it’s no big deal if he missed a section or not . I like lines . And each time I cut ,I go in a different direction . I heard that’s good for your grass .. . Your videos have been an inspiration..
That must be the hardest working whipper snipper in Australia. I love the way the edges appear, straight and clean. Yes very cathartic.
It’s harder on equipment and the people mowing but if you have to mow in the wet you just deal with it. Good job considering how sloppy wet it is!👍👍👍👍👍
It’s amazing what a difference just edging does.
It's my favourite part 🙂
right?!
Hi Sean, I don’t think I appreciated the effort that goes into the edging until I started watching you and Tim. It really makes a regular lawn look great. Well done!
Thanks again mate :)
14 days in a row raining here in North Spain (Basque Country) and more coming until at least next Wednesday, nothing weird for us here.
Wow
I love your signature song at the end. It's so exciting when it starts playing cuz you know the final result is coming up! Perfect music for that. Fantastic job as usual on the yard!!
Well done Mate, working in a soggy mess. You made it look as good as it could and I say exceeded expectations. Missed you Sean and now I know why. RAIN. If any country needs rain, it is Australia.
Thanks Darren
Oh the joys of being an Aussie 🙂
From drought to flooding rain 🌧
Those edges 👍🏻👏🏻💕
You could hold a master class on how to use a whippersnipper for edging 😊
Needs must when the weather is like this, it must be driving you bonkers with all the rescheduling! Glad you were able to get your work fix with your mate’s lawn, regardless of the wt conditions 😊❤️
Gee whiz, Sean, the lawn and edging looks great. If it were my lawn I would look at the driveway and sidewalks and think gosh, they look bad, better pressure wash them and while I’m at it l’ll trim up the bushes. NOW everything looks nice except I probably should paint the exterior of the house. NOW everything looks good except the roof so I’ll replace that. This is why I retired to an apartment...
💕You working in the rain reminded me of this song my Nan use to sing to us as kids if it was raining💕Rain rain go away come back another day💕I know your needed to make things grow💕You fill up puddles rivers & lakes ?💕This is the second verse can’t remember the rest of it💕
I love your work Sean…from messy to order, I also relax when I see you wearing your shin guards. You are a dear man. God Bless.
Up to your usual standard. Edging makes all the difference. I had a neighbor who cut his lawn on a strict schedule
Continued : every Tuesday he would be on his riding lawnmower, it could be p*****ing rain but he would still be there. Keep putting out those wonderful videos
That was SUPERB. Many thanks for sharing with us, Sean. Catch you on your next presentation and best wishes to you all 🌟🌟🌟
Hope you are not affected by the floods in N.S.W. Stay dry. We have been copping it in Brisbane too.
Looking forward to seeing how you managed this job. 🌞
Yay!! I was thinking about our mates over in Australia a lot this week! Looking forward to another cool video!! 💕💕
Even in terrible conditions, you persevere! Nice work, mowing in the rain is always a hassle but sometimes it has to be done.
I really wish my lawncare people would get the weeds out of the concrete like you do! It really makes the entire job look so much more polished!
🙂🍻
I'd suspect when he does that those weeds will be back pretty quickly as the whole root is still intact. Definitely still makes the job look much neater though and is a nice touch.
@@dasvenson765 the same can be said about the lawn. I assure you it too will grow back lol
As always no matter the weather you come through doing a beautiful job. Love watching you cut the lawns.
Nice porch. I bet the homeowner will enjoy the yard that you worked so hard on. Just watch out for lightening!!
Beautiful, fantastic and amazing. You do beautiful work. Thank you. God bless.
I love watching the edging the most. I've kind of become an edging snob now after watching your videos lol
That was really a good idea to discuss how to mow in wet conditions and I like peoples suggestions for moving water off, as dragging a rope or blowing with a blower first. Not only did the edging make things look great, you are still finding hidden landscape features and the evolution of the plan is interesting to see. I like the 'new house" look when you were done and that is a pleasant back space that you pulled-off a decent finish on. I will guess that the rapid growing grasses there are going to be happy with the rain this year.
This guy is very through with his work, plus when the film is speeded up it makes it just as interesting 👍 plus comes up quite a good job.
Hey thanks Ian
I used to do the same job, and got a lot of compliments on the work to.
I’ve got a 9 year old Masport mower. Starts on the second pull every time and works in all weather.
that would have been a hard slog, mowing wet grass, the end result looks pretty good, nice job, Sean.
Beautiful music, beautiful edging, beautiful results as usual. The only thing left is that the sidewalk would benefit from a power wash. I have never seen you do one? A possibility? Blessings Sean 🙏👍👍🇺🇸
Gday Kathy. Power washing is something on the agenda for me when I get around to it, though it's not as much of a priority to property owners in Australia. it is done by many, but despite the current state of affairs, the country is usually very dry, and power washing is seen as a big waste of water
@@BladeMateLawnCare Yes I can see where that would not be a priority. Thank you. 👍on the haircut. 😊
Awesome. Football (soccer *cough) 1st then a decent video afterwards 👍 Wales, UK
Still looks great. The grass was another longer in the back. I'm glad you got it done before more rain.
Now that’s a sensible-sized yard! So many of your clients seem to have huge acreages, and use them as dumping grounds. It’s as if they think “I don’t know what to do with this, so I’ll just put it outside and watch it gently moulder into zero value, then take it to the tip.” Beautiful little property, and just needed your usual meticulous tidying. Great work,as always, and the rain has made everything so green.
Will keep you all in prayer as these storms come through. The yard looks really good nice of you to help a friend especially when it's raining
God bless you and your family
Edging looks good. Its pouring the rain and you dont even have a jacket. We usually dont cut in the rain because it dulls the blades and the cut is not good. Your blower must have plenty of amps to get wet grass off the sidewalk.
It's a tough little thing 🙂
@@BladeMateLawnCare Looks really good though!😘
The most sophisticated outdoor maintenance engineer on the planet! I mean - freehand whipper-snipping with Bach's C Major Prelude? Magnificent!
I've been called many things, but this is the first time someone's suggest I'm sophisticated haha
It’s so satisfying when you uncover those paths and edges! Awesome job!
Awesome job Sean. Rain or shine it is always so entertaining and satisfying watching your yard/lawn transformations and your edging is on point. Great one bro🙏👍💯
Job well done Sean!! Everything looked healthy,& manicured. Absolutely beautiful with all the rain. Looking forward to the next one.💯❤️👍🏾🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
I find watching you do this so relaxing. Love it. Great job 👍
You are the best as usual Sean.
I really like how neat the edges are after you trim them and how you catch and dispose of the excess grass when mowing. You really make the entire yard so neat and tidy. Great job!
Another Awesome job. Thanks for sharing ☀️
Beautiful job. Well done in such wet conditions.
It's amazing how different the house looks when the lawn is done beautifully. Look wonderful.
Excellent job in that weather Sean. Really liking the music you picked too.
Reminder set. Sounds like a tricky mowing session for you Sean. We’ve got some storms in UK
In Germany in the Swabian Mountains we have 4 ° C minus and light Snowfall 🤗
You are the master of whipper snipping!!! Even a soaking wet yard, you made exception sharp edges!! ❤️👍🏼
One good thing about doing yard work in the rain is you keep the dust down😁
You got that right!
Looks great Sean. Well done.
Even in the wet conditions that lawn looked great after you were done. Great job!😊
Thanks Rachal 😀
I love the whipper edging and nice buzz cut on you!
Sean , You did a great job as usual!
Keep up the good work of blessing others and you'll see continued blessings return back to you!
You worked so hard to get it looking so nice 👍 waited for the bells 😊 now I’m so relaxed that it’s all done
lol this video came at the most perfect time Sean. I’ve been looking longingly at my lawn here in Sydney over the last few days just seeing it get rained on and growing and me wanting to mow but don’t want to do wet grass. At this stage I have no idea of when it’ll be a suitably good day where both the weather and grass will be dry for me to hit haha. Looks like it’s going to be this coming Thursday as the one sunny/dry day mixed in with all the wet.
Love your videos and love your attitude even more!
Really like the videos with just the sounds of the lawn equipment and no music. Very relaxing. 👍👍
Loved the music you were playing around the 6 min. period. Also, some extra good shots of the edging. Love your videos, always. God bless.
Living in the Pacific Northwest of the USA, our lawn care companies often have to mow in the rain or they'd never get any work done. Ditto roofers, builders, street crews, etc. but my husband never mowed out lawns in the rain for just the reasons you sited.
No one on RUclips mows lawns as perfectly as Sean!! You can look at it endlessly!))) Delight!
Hey thank you! :)
You always do such excellent work! Thank you 😊👍
Have watched your channel for a long time. Love your attention to detail and willingness to help. This job in the rain was incredible. smiles, Geri, Michigan, USA
Interesting rake....great job on the yard. Love all your videos.
Excellent edges, love the trimming
Great job , the grass i work on up here in canada is so different less dense fun to watch thanks
I think you just gave your mate a big hug in a manly way though. Nice warm fuzzy hug! Good boy! 👍
Sean, you sorted it all out, great job! 👍. True about La Niña, your getting the rain and here in Virginia (southern part) we are dry as a desert! You are a killer on those edges, you make it look too easy. We used to say “if it ain’t raining it ain’t training”. Haha. In your case hope you get a break in weather!
Anyone who has you as a friend is indeed fortunate. Great job, made the house look good, almost good as new. When I was able to do my own yard work, the edging was the final job making for the finished, tailored appearence. Nice bit of Bach. Keep up the great work!
You are just the best at not only edging but at the attention to detail that you give every job. Great job as always. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks so much.
Thank you very much!
Good job Sean. You worked wonders on that yard, especially with the grass being wet. Keep up the good work. Be blessed
A true professional you are helping out a mate. Another great job even in the rain.
Well, Sean, I'd call this a bit of daring or commitment, or a bit of both! Congratulations! Turned out remarkably well!
Great job as always Sean! Love your edging..you're like a surgeon with your weed-eater..clean,straight lines! Ready for the next video and hope you have a blessed day!
Many thanks Dwayne
Great job on the whipper snipper with old mate's edges
Looks great, love how you use the whipper sniper to edge!!!👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Blade Mate Your work is always excellent and I love the music in the video.
I thought it would come out choppy. Nice Job. Thank you for sharing!!!
i love your attention to detail
Man! That was great, Sean. Challenge conquered! That yard looks perfect. Your proficiency (which was awesome to begin with) with the tools, whipper-snapper especially, only improves every job. Great watch.
Go ahead! Making a yard as overgrown as that one was look that good, but while it's raining no less! You sir, are a true badass!
Your skills doing the edges are incredible, & the music is a good addition. Plus I've subscribed to your channel as well. Keep it up.
Awesome job, even in the rain!! You have much knowledge on how, why grass is cut, didn't know about the fungal part, good to know, thanks for that info. Whatever time of the year it may be, cutting lawns sure makes the difference!!! Great video with much info. Thank you Sean, Stay Safe always ☮️✊💖
Love your choice of music in your videos man!! Always so relaxing to watch you work and listen to some awesome classical music, i absolutely appreciate what you do for your community, it is always a pleasure and im definitely glad i clicked on your channel. Keep up the good work!! Hands down best youtube channel hahaha.
Even in the rain you do a perfect job!! Beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊
Love the hair Sean 👍💪 always a fun day to hang out with you & the Blade Mate family. 🙏💪🙏
Thank you 😊
I love when you do the edges on the whipper snipper!!! Soooooo satisfying...
Glad you like them!
Hope your buddy had a hot tea ready for you when you were done. problem with wet grass is that it’s hard to get rid of; it sticks to everything. Well done; the usual stellar edging. I find your videos very relaxing and like very much your choice of music. Have a great weekend.
Another bang up job. Your wipper snipper skills really makes the lawn pop. I really enjoyed this episode.
Many thanks mate!
Great Job as always and perfect music for the video....
Such a great transformation!
You do such professional work. Enjoy watching the detail you do each lawn.
Thank you very much!
Hi Sean the lawn really looks great and it’s very neat.
Yeah I’m thrilled seeing another video.. Have Your Self A Very Merry Holiday Season 🙏🏻👏💕✌🏻🎄🌵To You and Family.. Stay Warm and Well and Happy 😊
You make it seem so easy with the grass being wet and all. But then again that type of grass can take it and still look great. I love doing yard work when it rains
