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
Sooo I’m in the states and we drive on the opposite side of the road than you soooo does that mean I should walk forward when weed whacking? Hahahaha just kidding 😂👍🏼🇺🇸 Thanks for being the wonderful man you are. Keep it up. Be safe

Sean please consider adding a 5 second warning to your videos when switching to POV. It didn't last long enough for vertigo to put me on the floor this time, so thanks for that. Love the bunny food mowing.
What kind of mower is that? Makes me a bit curious.
As ordinary humans sometimes we overlook simple, logical solutions to things. Keep including your work tips like strimming direction and blade sharpening. At age 74 I certainly know that we're never too old to learn. Thanks and nice yard work.
Yeah, thanks a ton for that Sean! Didnt think of using the dremel to sharpen up, always just thought of pulling the blades off and using the vice n ankle grinder.
Also, only sharpening up the last 3 inches? Why not the whole length?
@Moo Kau
The last 3 inches are the only bits that cut the grass. Brand new ones out of the packet only have the bevel on that part
@@BladeMateLawnCare Gotcha. I guess if you where moving that quick that those areas where cutting, yould be doing something wrong.
Amazing that these videos show all the things I didn't know how to do when I had a lawn to mow.
@@BladeMateLawnCare yup
Unsure what I liked most. Watching the yard look good or watching someone good looking doing the yard ☺️
Agree 😉
@@jennigilmour9215 agree with your agreement
Win win 😉
That's an embarassingly true statement!
No excuse to miss a video
Sean, you are world-class in every respect. I agree completely with Koreena’s comment, and wish you many more years of delighting men and women with your competence, and oh… that edging is perfection! Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
You are a good man, a real example, and that comment about your wife's bee friendly garden shows she is absolutely beautiful too. Well done mate! Thank you.
So nice of you
The beauty of clover is that after it's established, it'll keep on blooming even after mowing. Happy bees.
Next week's job looks incredible, hidden treasures peeking thru the tall grass. Let's see how many wheel barrows you find.
@@maggiemae9099 🤣 now, that would be a trick!
My father was a great gardener and I remember him telling me that clover could be a good lawn.
Wow yes the clover is so beautiful!!! Especially when it’s dominating over native species and attracting other weed species like Bromus carthiticus and plantago lanceolata like we have here and trust me the only bees it’s attracting is the European honey bee.
A field of clover flowers is rather pretty. Still lovely to see a yard maintained. Good job Sean.
True. But it can cause other plants to be robbed of nutrients and can also hide ant piles and even hard objects if tall enough
@@jayasmrmore3687 Interesting fact. Thanks for the knowledge.
@@jayasmrmore3687 what other plants? This wasn't a flower bed. Clover is way more beneficial then regular grass.
I agree with you, Koreena!! Watching Sean reminds me of the old song, " It's so nice to have a man around the house". Especially one like Sean, who, not only is he a hunk, BUT, he has a giant heart as well!! 💕💕
I love that you thought about the bees and the clover, and that you have a bee garden at home! 🐝🐝
Like the obligatory snek check.
Sean, you are a true gentleman and giving human. Love your ethics and continuing service to the community, no matter what manner you give in.
Beautiful Sean. I like the change here where the end result is a beautiful GREEN lawn, rather than the other that may take awhile to green up again. Very satisfying. Who knew clover was such a good choice for lawns? Here in the states most people try to get rid of it. I love watching all your videos Sean. Still watching from Ohio, USA!
Sean a great watch and so pleased your wife is looking after the bees with her planting. Keep up the great charity work you do too. What a great man you are.
I like clover in a lawn. Seams to hold the moisture better and the bees do seem to enjoy it. Thanks
Watching your channel reminds me to maintain the yard before it gets serious.
It’s nice to see a yard with clover instead of the thatched grass. Always a good job.
I learned so much today. The blades moving that way I never knew such a thing existed. I often worry that your blades were going to bend or worse a bent rod. And the reason you walk backwards with the weed eater is simply magic. The next job looks like a prairie.
I enjoy your bushwacking adventures to save a distressed yard and owner, but these demonstrations of your skills and explanations on why you're doing something, are just as great. I look forward to you receiving your silver play button soon as well!
Many thanks Marco!
What an incredible yard! I know most people don't like clover invading their lawn, but it sure is green & beautiful after it's mowed.
I love clover and the little flowers. So do bees and they give us wonderful stuff from those flowers! What a beautiful lawn you've recovered.. The videos are wonderful! The music is magnificent. THANKS!
This is a prime example that big expensive stand on mowers do not do a better job than a push mower. It's the operator that determines the quality of cut and how the lawn looks at the end. Great job, Sean. I expected no less from you. Always excellent attention to detail and your willingness to go just that bit further so the property looks fabulous!
Its not about doing a better job its about efficiency with larger equipment.
Considering that it leaves the same finish, would you rather mow a golf course with a ride on or a push mower.
@@freespeechisdead202 Good thing I don't mow golf courses then!
umm actually the commercial grade large mowers do actually do a much better job not sure what your version of a better job is but it does make a difference. Not saying you can't do it with this but heavier duty mowers have more power and are larger making them more efficient and providing a better look.
Ooooh clover is great for bees but lush lawns are great too!
Simple yard and sooo satisfying to see that thick clover get cut.
GIANT AUSTRALIAN YARD SPIDER @11:37! 😁
I thought it was a mouse?
Beautiful job. Love the smell of fresh mowed clover and grass. Thanks for the tip on cleaning the mower. God bless
What a great result. Love listening to your commentary too - really informative and such a relaxing voice. Thank you 😊
I swear your videos get better every time, keep up the great work.
I used to leave a big round clover pool in the back lawn for the kids to play in when they were small 😊
i watch mowing videos at bed time cause they help me sleep. yours are my favorite, but i get a little frustrated, cause they do get me sleepy but i don't want to sleep cause they're so good and i dont't wanna miss any second. lol what a dilema, huh?
i truly love your work! greetings from Brazil 👋🏼
Another awesome job. Thank you for your service and also thanks to your client and fellow fan!
I thought my clover patch was big in my backyard at one time till I saw hers!! I love the way you edge around the cement with the weed eater and not an edger - that's cool! Another awesome job well done, keep up the good work and thanks for helping people in need.
Never seen a mower like that, thanks for the knowledge! Good thing to keep in mind when doing work like this.
Clover is so pretty, it's such a beautiful green! Great job! Love the work you do for others.😊👍❤
Thanks so much 😊
That was superb, Sean. Enjoyed 100% See you on your next presentation. Take care, all of you 🌟🌟🌟
Thanks! You too!
This is why I believe in Patreon when you do stuff like this because you know it’s going to the people that really need it in our backyards
holy moly, glad you hooked up with an organization!!!
Me too!!
I just finished cutting a very over-grown yard. And even with a very good zero turn mower, I had to raise the deck to max just to make the first cut to keep the mower from bogging down. So after the second and third cuts the clippings were everywhere. I finally manage to raise the mower deck a little over the final cut and that helped scatter the clipping without seeing them anymore. So I know what you are dealing with with high vegetation cuts. Thumbs Up!
Clover for days!!! Love it.
G'day Sean,
Great video, very satisfying seeing the clover go. You did a great job. The preview of next week's job kinda warmed my heart a little knowing that you are doing it free of charge for the client and that you've teamed up with an organisation to help people in need. Good on ya Sean.
Before I go, I'd like to say, you and your videos as well as Tim the Lawn Mower Man's videos really helped me with my anxiety and lockdowns in Victoria, it helped me deal with my social isolation and feel somewhat connected to life and out of my bubble.
Thank you Sean.
Much appreciated Luke 🍻
It must have smelled so nice. I love clover.
Would've been nice if ya found a pot of gold under all that! Great job and love watching your channel Sean!
Maybe one day!
Love watching your grass cutting and garden work, wishes from Edinburgh Scotland 🏴
Awesome! Thank you!
Watching this video takes me back to last week's walk. 94 year old woman mowing her lawn (this size as you finished) & I stopped & asked her if she wanted or needed help. No, she said. "a body in motion stays in motion". I did however help her with closing up her garden b4 snow in Maine. Her story is remarkable. She too sharpens her hand tools with a dremill. Lol...She's had 17 surgeries & a 3 time cancer survivor makes me pleased to have met her. I myself a cancer (metastatic renal clear carcinoma cancer stage 4 & chemo every 4 weeks) gal still gets out & mow & gardening. Pick up trash that blows about (even on my walks). You are a blessing to many Sean. Maybe someday we can get a peek at your wife's bee garden. Ideas for next season. 👍🙏💪🙏🌹😇
Sean not alot of yards look very good with clover but that yard looks really good , great job Sean.
walking backwards while trimming is one of the first things i realized when i started landscaping! makes such a huge difference
As we enter winter here in the States it's fun to watch you handle lawns of Spring Down Under. And for someone who believes 'pants are for quitters' I want to get some of the lawn care shin guards you wear. Great video as always!
The world needs more people like you Sean. Great job.
Sean, you never fail to entertain us with your very professional videos of the wonderful jobs you do! Love all the chatty bits too, about bees, clover, and the sneak peek at next week’s job. It was amazing to see the underside of the mower and the sharpening of those two small blades-hard to believe that small machine can gobble up all that clover and spit it out so finely chopped after several passes! Lots of hard work on your part. You do the best edges!
Thanks again!
Well done there Sean! The way you’re pacing back uP & Dwn that lawn has a reel Buzz to-IT !!
Let's go! One more time, you are doing great job! Take care and keep going!
Thanks again!
Love how green it is. I gather from other comments that the clover is responsible for that and is a two-edged sword, but still. Prettiest lawn I’ve seen in any clean up video!
Whew that’s a lot of clover! Finished yard, 4 cuts later! looks great! 💚
Looking forward to next week’s yard.
Sean, you always do such great work even the clover yard it looked so nice after you did it. Great job keep up the go work and you shouldn't feel bad to receive any monies they try to pay you they do cause the know that its quality work and a great hard working person 👍 doing the job. Your s good guy Sean you have alot of kindness in you and you are a caring person i hope you never change the world needs more people like you.
Amazing how good clover looks when it is mowed! I would love to see the garden your wife is working on the feed the bees!!! I try to grow flowers and plants that feed bees, butterflies and birds.
Amazing job, Sean! Thanks for caring for others.
Love the music at the end! Yard looks great. You kept going over it and over it until it was perfect. Good job! Bless you for all you do to help people and set a good example how all of us should treat each other!
I wouldn’t bag that either! So much free nutrients and doing the soil an awesome service! Also, great to see someone else using the blower on the lawn as I’m always called “crazy’ for doing it especially on bigger jobs like this👍🏼
I have a clover field in my backyard too. We often leave it clover for a few weeks, and then cut it back. It doesn’t take it very long to come out with another flush of clover for the bees. We love the smell of clover, and the presence and hum of the bees is very nice too. Mowing it periodically just keeps the length manageable.
Enjoyed seeing the overgrown yard transform into a neat one. Cheers, mate!
Many thanks!
Great job Sean, thank you for the explanations. Always something new. Well done
As a fellow Aussie, you're a legend mate. Love your attitude and demeanour.
thanks Tiffani :)
Wow 😮 that’s a massive difference. Clover ☘️ is such a pain to get rid of. I started trying to weed it out by hand and in the patch I did just kept going. Was hard finding the root. Good job 👍 once again.
When you walk backwards you tend to draw the head towards you, shortening the reach and giving you more control. If you are pushing the head away you are extending the "reach" which reduces control. I never really thought about it till you said something. After that I watched your movement closely. I'll remember that. Thanks.
Interesting i never knew why some people walked backwards. I thought it was what they felt comfortable with rather than getiing better performance from the "wacker".
I so enjoy your makeover lawns. Fantastic job and so much better. Well done mate.
Glad you like them!
The SMELL of mown clover lawn is HEAVENLY!! some yrs ago I revamped a large lawned lot; I chose clovered sod which eventually spread to the rest of the lawn as its considered a weed BUT it looked FABULOUS and it SMELLED HEAVENLY when mowed! shd b made into a perfume!!
Haven't seen anyone as thorough as you are.
I try to respect the bees also. Wonderful outcome Sean! Loved watching you do this job, with such precision. All the best to you. and your very lovely family. Can't wait for the next video!!
l
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks fabulous. Great job .
Clean work mate 👌
cheers man!
Thank you! I always enjoy seeing how you care for those who are less fortunate. There are so much egoism in the world and it's nice to see someone like yourself who enjoy being kind. 🤩
I really miss the classical music you used in the beginning. God bless you! 🙏
The toddler in the window. That made me smile. Great video.
😊 thank you
Another job well done. Your heart for helping others is amazing. The story you have is remarkable. The fact that you didn't let your past break you, but instead you embraced it and let it help to shape you into who you are.
During one of your videos you stated that you love a good feel good story. You asked the viewers to send some to you.
I have been through quite a bit. My childhood was great and my marriage has been fantastic, but I have seen my fair share of trials.
However, this feel good story goes way back to before either of our time. It is the story of a boy named David that tended sheep for his father. He had 5 older brothers (I believe). 3 of which served in the king's army. He was sent by his father to see how the battle was going, how is brothers were fairing, and to take food and supplies.
Of course, once David reached the battlefield he was quite inquisitive. He asked questions as any young boy between the ages of 15 and 19 would. To his brothers he was annoying.
He couldn't understand why the fighting was at a stand still. There was only one man, albeit the man was gigantic in stature, from the other side that had come forward wanting a one on one battle. If one person from their side could defeat him the enemy would turn and go home.
To David this made no sense. Why would no man from the Lord's army battle this man? The king had offered great gifts also to the man that would fight and defeat this enemy.
David stepped up, even with the taunting of his brothers. No one thought this child could fight the enemy. The king however, decided David was the only option. He took David, gave him his own armor, as David didn't have any, and prepared him to fight.
David was too small. He could not stand under the weight of the king's armor. David said he would be fine. He knew the Lord would be with him as He was everytime he had to rescue a lamb from a lion or a bear.
David went out with just his sling and several stones. The armor bearer for the giant of a man laughed at him and asked why he was coming out to meet him. David told him it was to kill the giant and cut off his head.
Before the giant could even pull his sword David reached in his bag, pulled out a small smooth stone and slung it with his sling. It buried deep into the forehead of the giant and killed him. David ran over and used the giant's own sword to cut off his head. Thus defeating the other army and they were able to chase the enemy causing them to flee.
David was able to accomplish what he had said. He did indeed have the Lord on his side.
This story can be found in 1 Samuel 17. This is just one of many feel good events in the Bible. God has a way of using the underdog to accomplish what needs to be done.
It is a reminder that all things are possible through Christ who strengthens me. And also just how necessary He is in our lives. We may think that we have a great handle on things, when I'm actuality God is the one in control.
When I said I have had my fair share I meant it. I have a son that has been through 89 surgeries (most of which have been brain), both of my daughters have heart conditions, one pretty severe, my husband has had open heart surgery for triple bypass, aorta replacement and grafting for an aneurysm, and valve replacement, and I have been on chemo for 9 years along with steroids for a disease that started in my lungs and lymph nodes and has since started eating away at my joints, spine, and eyes.
I am here to tell you that Jesus is real. Not just because I have heard and read about Him. But, because I know Him. I have a relationship with Him. I have peace and joy that I could not explain otherwise. I am not afraid of anything because I know Who holds me and what eternity has for me. Praise God I am never alone. Just like David I can and will defeat any and every enemy this world throws at me. I might have a disease. My children have illnesses. But, I know without a doubt none of those will ever defeat us. Jesus has the final say. The grave will not hold any of us because we have eternity with our Lord and Savior.
love love love clover yards. seriously under rated for people who want a lower work load. if you let it grow its bee food, but the best part is when you do get around to cutting it, unlike really tall grasses, it will still be green. grass is great if you can cut it on a regular schedule, but if you cant commit to cutting constantly clover is amazing.
My mouth is drooling, such gorgeous clover. Come on bees! 🐝 love clover.... never saw any one use clover as a yard. But awesome idea!!! You did another fantastic job!! Well done you.
Lawn mowing season is over here in New Brunswick, Canada. So have I'll have to get my fix through watching you mow Sean. 😀 Great work.
Sean, again my friend, excellent work and dedication. I understand and appreciate the effort that is put into a great looking lawn. You, sir, went above and beyond. I live in Gulfport,Mississippi, USA where summer temperatures get into the 100s with 90% humidity. Anyone who cuts the lawn 4to5 times per cutting is DEFINITELY not lazy, Especially when using a push mower. kudos brother. Loving your vids.
Hell to the yes! Right as I wake up :) perfect timing haha
Perfect!
Lawn mower that understands & acknowledges bees and the benefits and nitrogenous actions of clover, very cool guy! 😁
Out of all the comments I've read so far on this video, yours is my favourite. Thank you.
Wow, the edging really highlights those little features in the corners of this yard - great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Sean you kinda made me laugh...I was just hoping you'd removed the sparkplug and it was like you answered me right after the thought went through my mind. Really nice of you to offer helping even more in your community.
I could almost smell that lovely clover from California! 🐝
That's a great idea, a win win for both the client and yourself......
Oh, it's so much clover, it's so hard to mow😵💫!
Love the steel fences and the clotheslines in Aust. Most of us here in New Mexico have stone walls & no clotheslines. Good job as usual, Sean.
Very satisfying watching the mower go through the clover and edges appear.
Glad you enjoyed it
I just love how you mow .you do it with such neatness & care.you cut so perfection.
I'll never hear of or see a lawn getting a blow dry again 🤣🤣
I'm in love ❤❤

YAY!!!!! Blade Mate time!!!!
Has to be one of the lushest lawns I’ve seen you cut. Nice color.
I used to mow for a living. In the trade, it’s been a professional preference to trim forward or backwards. For me, it’s easier to go forward. I would think being in Australia, where everything is poisonous, it would be safer for you to bury the trimmer in the tall grass first. However, I see your point. It’s more visible with tall grass. So, thanks for the perspective. Regardless, the job gets done.
While I don't really know, I would imagine the homeowner had lost the ability to maintain the yard, and, didn't have the means to have it cut by a landscaper. Most landscapers I know, would definitely cut it, but, having to go over it multiple times, they would make the homeowner pay, and pay well! Shawn, by setting the example of being willing to help people out, maybe, just maybe, you are going to inspire someone to go out of their way to help someone else out. For those of us who HAVE been helped out by others, simply out of kindness, it is priceless. For those of us who do and can help others out, it is equally priceless. At the end of the day, when all is said and done, the man or woman who can honestly say "yes, I made a difference today!" Those are the ones who really know happiness.
As far as how you spend your time/money, resources, that is all your business. I am not going to offer any advice (especially since you never asked for it). It appears to me, that growing your business, while it does carry weight, is not your reason for being. Good on you!
This fellow doesn’t do anything half way. Talk about excellent workmanship. Other lawn care providers can learn something from this guy.
Smashing job, learnt a lot from this one, thanks.
I always strim in the same direction as you, for the same reason, it was nice of you to explain.
My grass has never been fed, and I have lived here for over 20 years, this video has explained why I have clover, as I always collect it. Very useful tips, i appreciate what you do, thank you.
I've never heard of anyone blow drying their yard!🤣 I nearly had a panic attack when you tipped the mower on it's side. Then later I noticed your fuel tank is up above the motor. Tipping a mower with the usual tank is risky because gas will leak out and with the heat of the mower it could catch on fire and explode. So I never tip mine unless the gas tank is empty, it's cooled off, and the spark plug wire is unplugged. I really like the clover yard as opposed to that long wiry grass. The clover makes a nice low mass and the bees really do love it. It looks great!
Clover is a great soil building plant. Looks great nowed.
I think so too!
My toddler was mesmerized by this.
For the other 18-month-old mower-lovers in the audience, 12:04 is where the good stuff starts.
Another great video, can’t believe you find so many overgrown lawns. I know you hate being told what to do by so called experts, this is just a suggestion, but worth looking at a backpack blower to help disperse the clippings. Love mine, definite game changer.
As usual, beautiful & meticulous work. Congratulations, you are my favorite mower on UA-cam.
My husband and I love your videos. Funny thing is we don't even have a lawn anymore since downsizing. Keep up the great vids and the wonderful attitude and community spirit you have. Need more like you in the world.
Love from Perth WA
Glad you like them!
Sean, I don’t know how your videos ended up coming to me, but I tell you what, you’ve inspired me to do my lawns better!!! Thank you!!
Over the last few months I’ve been looking after kids at their place and I was welcomed by a jungle when I got home. I even attempted to hire a gardener. Seeing your videos, I got into gear, and after a month and a half I’ve now only got a vine that has to be cut back and weeds over a garden bed by the back fence. Granted, I can only use an electric line trimmer, because of my shoulder, it’s lighter, and sure, it takes a little longer, but I’m getting better results than ever!
Unfortunately, my mower’s done itself a mischief. The back wheel fell off! Lol! But I’ve got one coming in the next couple of days.
Mate, keep doing what you’re doing for those that need it. It’s not only rewarding for you but it’s also a massive weight lifted from the shoulders you help and also makes them feel better even if it’s for a little while.
Yet another fantastic job Sean! Loved the tips on how to manage clover too. 👍
When I see empty garden pots I just want to plant a nice colorful flowering plant.😊
I love the sidewalk leading out to the wash line! So posh❤
