    I love that you don't pile up all the edging onto the lawn, but rather pick them up. It drives me nuts when I see other channels throwing chunks of mud and grass onto the lawn and then trying to mow over it.

      Me too. I don’t like clippings left on my yard. It looks messy.

    • @alexisgrunden1556
      @alexisgrunden1556 Місяць тому +3

      If it's diced up fine enough, I can let that slide; if it's already chopped fine, it washes down the grass length with the next rain or watering, and composts much easier. Big pieces don't break down so well, though, and a few types of grass resist composting, so they need collecting.

    I think the edging is the most important and satisfying part of yard work. It makes the yard pop and really makes it stand out

    You are probably the best lawn care guy I've ever watched. You pay attention to the tiniest detail. I only wish you lived in the states. Can't get anybody here to pay that kind of attention to detail. ❤️

    My husband is the gardener and he does things the same way you do. We bought this house as a fixer upper and now the garden is the envy on the block. It is his pride and joy - plus he can grow anything! I love watching your videos - you always do such an exemplary job! 😊

    Its actually really satisfying to see a more 'normal' lawn/garden being tidied up and made lovely again. Super useful tips too - need to get myself a lawn edger as I just have NO success using a strimmer/whipper snipper! Thank you!!

    • @Jaemou
      @Jaemou Місяць тому +3

      I've seen the half-moon edgers in the store and but this is the first time I've seen one used. Great demo, and I'll be buying one for myself. 🙂

    @SS-jb8wj Місяць тому +2

    The people who say that the trimmer head is too close to the ground may not be as tall as you, Sean. I'm 178cm woman and I find the way you hold it quite comfortable and also find that a harness is good too. I have learnt a lot of techniques since watching your channel.

    For those of us without much lawn to edge, particularly if you haven't much storage for lawn equipment, an edging shears in lieu of a whipper snipper is perfect for maintaining an edge!

    Sean you are the first lawn maintenance subscription I followed on UA-cam. There are a couple of others I support because of their helping those who need help. Believe or not you came up when I was watching something on Steve Irwin. I see a resemblance in the care and knowledge put into what you were both called to do. Awesome Sean. Awesome ❤️

    Not used to seeing you with curly hair usually have a military cut. Just comment on that now comment on your mowing and you’re edging. You did a really good job. The place looks great. I’m sure the people are very happy with what you did.

    I'm an outdoors type of person and enjoy landscaping and gardening in my yard. Thanks for the tips, especially in the use of the half-moon edger. It penetrates much deeper than a string trimmer would. Because of that, I think it would create a longer lasting result.

    I don’t blame you for choosing your back over extra trimmer line. I always had trouble finding a trimmer short enough. So I had to hold it at an awkward angle and in no time my arms were aching. I can’t imagine having to do that every day.
    The yard looked beautiful! Thank you for donating part of it.❤️🤗🐝

  • @Dreamworld986
    @Dreamworld986 Місяць тому +2

    I watch several mowing channels but your attention to detail is the best. Per the comment below I see the same thing or they cut very tall grass and leave it on the lawn and think mowing over it several times will take care of it. It seems too many have not checked into getting rid of green waste. Just dump at the back of the yard or leave it where it is. If your going to do a professional job than find a place to take the green waste. Most disposal companies have that service. Great job as always Sean.

    My high school shop class used to make garden tools to sell at the local home and garden show and one of our products was an edger. It was designed with a half moon style blade mounted to the underside of an articulated peddle at the end of a long T-handle. Literally let you cut the edge as you walked along.
