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
If a number isn't in my contact cell list, I don't answer and later check the number with scam shield on my cell. Then I report the number as scam/fraud and block the number. Eventually the scam calls stop since I block ALL numbers from unknown callers. A 75 year old friend of mine got scammed by a Microsoft scam two years ago, from a pop up with sirens blaring, saying her computer was infected. Unfortunately she didn't listen to me when I told her it was a scam, called the 800 number on the page and she lost a few thousand dollars from her retirement account and when she called her bank it was too late, they couldn't stop her payment as it went through right away with no waiting.
Holy moly! This is a step by step tutorial “ on how to eat an elephant “. What a epic battle to reclaim that lovely old yard. Look forward to the discovery of the backyard! You are a phenomenal young man. Thank you for your generous heart & tenacious determination to undertake such a daunting task. I might add , many YT yard men are now doing pro bono/ community yards vids , too. Thank you for setting a shining example of civic duty. Guess you could say, you’re changing the world one yard at a time. Blessings
So true Cynthia! You said it perfectly 💜 Don’t listen to any trolls!! You are a fabulous person!! Thank You 🙏🙏💜💜
Well said
Your attention to detail on these free jobs is impeccable! Other free jobs I've seen online definitely look free if that makes sense but you really leave no twig unturned! Cannot wait to see this property finished! Inside the home will be so much brighter now!
I was waiting for the "Tarzan" yell when you grabbed the vine mass growing up into the tree. What a huge task! Great job, Sir!
That yard looked like it hadn't been touched for at least 30 years! Excellent job.
Me too 🤗
I thought that Tarzan yell too. ROTFLMAO!!!
Me, too! LOL
We were all thinkin' it, man~ XD
The fellow who lives there must have enjoyed his garden; I’ve noticed that he put in nice brick work all around the house and fence. He’s probably very grateful. Good on you, Sean‼️👍🏻🌱🍃🍀☘️🌿🌷🌹🌼🦦🌈
Yes, I’m recognizing various plants. Must have been nice in its time.
I kept shaking my head, how could there be “miles” of vines and you’d wonder how many years it took to get to this point, so invasive and very destructive. You worked so hard - and that’s why I enjoy watching you, it’s honest work. You will be blessed for your unselfish work to help others.
There were so many vines in that tree that even Tarzan would be overwhelmed on having to pick and choose 😵💫
Yeah you are so right
I’ve never seen so many vines in my life
What kind of vine is that ?
@@sisterlockmo there seems to be more than one. The ones that I could recognise were star jasmine, heartleaf madeira vine and lantana.
Love the fact that you kept in the bit where you fell over pulling the ivy, laughed myself silly. What an amazing job.
I'm just glad that he didn't get hurt badly from the fall!!!
I have put in a word of recommendation regarding your 'exploits' to the Maitland Mercury. I'd love to see them recognise your efforts and post an article - the community and world at large would be uplifted by the inspiring work that you do. And the slapstick comedy of when you fall over without injury!
oh hey, thanks mate!
@@BladeMateLawnCare I'm glad you didn't think me a jerk for chortling when you stacked it .... I love the challenge of sleuthing where you are each time too. I succeeded this time, but it's never easy!
Sean definitely deserves to be recognized for his work and contribution to the community... definitely support this!
Some of us recognize it here in the U.S.
Welcome to the jungle ! How good was that, I love it when you unearth borders and the bones of the garden. You can tell that some thought went into the planning and design all those years ago. I hope this will bring back happy memories for the chap who lives there. Now we just need some kind hearted painters to spruce up the outside of his home 🏡. Fab job 👏
And someone to fix his fence.
Road trip! Er, um… cross pacific trip!
Lori, better check to see if they are allowing folks to come in or not first...
That yard is huge it would be nice to see pictures of this house and it’s gardens in its glory days. I look forward to the next video.

Amazing job, Sean! Thought for sure that you would find treasure buried in that jungle. OMG, the vines! Whew! You need to bring a small chainsaw with you next time. I have a feeling you're gonna need it! And would it do any good to spread some shade blend grass seed in that area? I do hope some local businesses watch your videos and donate a new fence and painting services for this gentleman. Wouldn't that be lovely? You're a saint to do this for him, it's obviously tons of work. Thanks for sharing this with us.
That’s exactly what I was thinking!!
Oh that would be so lovely!!☺️👏
Same here, I was thinking the exact same thing and also painting companies for these houses because paint can prevent bigger expense in the future.
I was thinking the same thing! I also hope some local business sees this and offers to help. 💜💜💜
I second that emotion and sending prayers 🙏 ❤ for this homeowner
Love transformations like this one! Blinding job mate - well done! I often think when I watch these garden transformation channels that you guys could have a huge and super healthy compost heap at home if you had the space for all the green waste! 🤣
Not with those vines though.....
So Sean is demolishing the overgrown rogue weeds. Meanwhile quietly playing in the background is beautiful classical music. The best of both worlds.
I watched until the end because I’m 67 and know my strength is waning year by year. I applaud you for your hard work on this person’s behalf, it is very generous of you. It looks like at one time he had gardens.
Who needs CrossFit when you’ve got a yard like this. Well done, sir.
Sean, you must feel so proud when you look back on the finished job and see how great it looks. Sean do you not think it may be a good idea to purchase a small chainsaw to make it easier on yourself when cutting some of those branches rather than a pruning saw.once again mate GREAT JOB
I had that same thought as I was watching him saw those dead branches. 🪚👀🪚
This one made me laugh and touched my heart. You remind me so much of my younger brother, his work ethic and his humor. I miss the days we spent cleaning yards and painting houses for people on our weekends. We were exhausted but sometimes we would laugh with one another, over the silliest things, until we cried. Thanks Sean.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for helping elderly gents. Unending blessings for you and your patrons.
I read some comments and feel proud and moved. Elderly people are not alone in the world. There are young men and women willing to give us a hand.
Thanks for the music in your videos and your introductions. Australian accents is unique.
Good work 💪💪💪🍀🎶🙌
@@BladeMateLawnCare 7:30 is it possible to arrange for a group to do some house painting and maybe remove some of that shaky fence ❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓
I would love to see what this yard looks like mid summer and how it has flourished since you have removed all the dead and overgrowth. I bet it will be amazing.
I am wondering the same thing. The bushes kept along the fence, saving the trees, if kept up, it will be amazing!
Hopefully, there won't be any regrowth of the vines because there might be roots still in the ground.
Wow! The difference is like day and night. In watching these 3 video's I can tell the elderly gentleman had spent alot of time working in his yard. It must have broke his heart to not be able to keep his yard up. Now that you have cleaned the grounds he maybe can get outside to walk his home grounds again at least once more. I know his spirits have definitely been lift. You are quite the man with a big heart to do this.
The minute I saw this yard, I knew you were the right man for the job! This yard has been left to over grow for years. So sad that no one helped this gentleman before now!
Now that you have worked so hard on the lawn, wouldn't it be wonderful if someone would donate a paint job for this gentleman?
I'm gobsmacked.
What a great job you've done and I'm in awe of the physical effort you've put in there, with a comedy fall to boot. The recovery was pretty good too.
I saw the big tree with the vines all over, it gave me The Fear, but you smashed that like a gobby scrum half.
The elderly gent must be delighted in seeing this.
Cracking job, Sean.
Wow, thank you!
Wow!!! Thats one heck of a job, Sean! I bet that man is so thankful that you came along and didn’t even think about giving up. Well done! 👏😎🇺🇸
So many thoughts and questions were going through my head while I watched this video. I hope I can remember them all! 1. You remind me of the cartoon character, the Tasmanian Devil, when you speed up your videos. 2. Do you think the large bushes will flourish again? 3. Was the entire tree toward the back dead or was there one surviving portion? 4. Did the neighbor say ANYthing to you while she hung out her clothes on the clothesline? 5. Your mower is like a mini-bushhog! 6. Has the homeowner given you any feedback as to his feelings about the clearing? 7. This yard must have been a beauty in its prime. I can't imagine the hours the couple spent landscaping it. 8. That old fence is going to blow over the first time there's a gust of wind....now that the supporting vines have been removed. 9. I can't imagine how many trips you made to your truck/trailer to clear all of the cuttings. 10. I SO hope you'll return to the site in a month or so and give us a tour of what's growing now that the smothering vines have been removed. 11. I SO hope a person or people keep the yard maintained now so it doesn't grow back to the mess you found it in. 12. Can't wait to watch Part 4!!!!!
The homeowner was so happy and grateful after Part 1 was done
The neighbor was probably trying to avoid eye contact because when that vine free fence falls……..if they can afford to replace that fence, they should do it.
All of the above is what I was thinking. 13. Were the flowers weeds or from the tree? 🏴
@@grandmasgarden9142 I think the fence cost is split between the two parties, and I doubt the owner of this property could afford to go halves in replacing the fence if he can't already afford to keep his garden in check. If the neighbour wants to cover the cost then they can but if it was me I would wait until the place is sold in the future so the new owner can help with the cost. If the place is sold it will probably be demolished anyhow so the new owner may just put up the new fence as part of their expenses.
Yeah, it’s a 50/50 split in Australia, unless your neighbour can’t afford it or can’t agree with the choice of fence. In which case, you just put the fence of your choice inside the fence line on your property (by back fence is like this)
Side of house: "I fart in your general direction!"
Sean: "Challenge accepted."
Side of house: "...Oh $#!t. Bluff called. Alright, let's do this..."
I drove past yesterday arvo on my way to grab something from the office (lockdown life!). It looks even better in real life! The transformation has been incredible, looking forward to watching the rest of it.
I wish someone could paint his home.... Bless this elderly man. And Thank God for ppl like this who help him...
Oh I am so jealous! You live close enough to drive by and see the results first hand! I can only imagine it looks even better in person! Thanks for sharing this with all is us!! ☺️✌️
This is near Rutherford right?
@@Tryinglittleleg its in east maitland
@@kimberlyturner5886 yes I was thinking the same thing…now all the overgrowth is gone …his house needs painting…just to keep the wood protected.
Wow, that is supremely impressive. I can't believe you took on a literal jungle with just a big knife and your trusty mower. The the transformation to a real side yard is just so amazing. Well done Sir, well done!!
Your back and arms have got to be KILLING you. Never dreamed you could tame that beast as you did.
I’m sitting here thinking to myself how has he not gone ass over pulling out those mutant vines... 😂 I take my hat off to you Sean, unbelievable what you have achieved!!
So you missed 11:05 then?
Can’t wait to see the whole yard finished it will look amazing. You are doing a wonderful service to the elderly who just want to stay in their own home but due to circumstances are unable to maintain it. My hat of to you sir.
I call this “The house of vines” they took over everything. I watched all 3 videos. You came in and tackled a massive massive job all by yourself…….WOW!!💚💚💚 I’m so proud of you
Wow! What a struggle with those vines; lots of tugging and chopping to get them removed. When you uncover everything, it’s plain to see that this was once a beautiful garden, with flower beds, shrubbery and trees. Wonderful to see you giving new life to this property. You are the best Sean! Looking forward to the rest of the cleanup. 👍
Love this channel
He always had the toughest challenge
And the ending always, super impressive
Sean, I’m fascinated and shocked by the amount of above ground roots/vines! You just freshened up a mini jungle!
Great job on the shrubs! 💚
This was the most satisfying clean up I've ever seen, that plant was huge!!!
I am gobsmacked!! You did such a wonderful job, I can only imagine how much brighter it is inside of his home now!
When the garden is finished all the elderly guy will want is a firm to donate some fencing ,some paint for the outside of the home and he will have the smartest house in the street, you are doing an excellent job, roll on part 4
I loved it. I can't wait until you publish the remaining parts covering the backyard. When they are available I'm going to pop some popcorn and sit down and watch the whole series again. It is SO satisfying to see the transformation.
Great idea ‼️I may invite family over for the feature 🎥🍿🥤 I will watch all 3 parts over while Tropical Storms howls outside ‼️I live a few miles north of Houston Texas ‼️🌺♥️🎈
It's a good thing you keep moving or those vines would pull you right into that jungle. I saw one of them reach out and grab your foot when you went down! Thanks for taking us through this incredible transformation with you!
I half expected those vines to come alive and try to carry you off to its lair!
You always do such an amazing detailed job. You could have done half that and the gentleman would have been grateful, but you go above and beyond and give him an extraordinary effort. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️
I watch all your videos from the beginning to the end. Maybe I like watching other people work...but this video was the best so far...I can't wait for the next one. Great work and a great job Sean.
This has been the best of this series so far! I love the vine attack! It was everywhere! Keep hacking’ away, Sean!!
Your work ethics are mind blowing. Never seen so many vines. You sure did a fantastic job. You truly are a blessing to so many. May God continue his blessings on you and the work you do for others in need. I enjoy your videos
Love all those nasturtiums. Wish they had a more reasonable spot in the yard instead of growing all over the place! Great job, Sean!
I have heard they are edible, but have not tried this myself
@@oges74 Yes they are. A lot of times they are used in salads.
@@oges74 use the flowers in salad instead of pepper - strong but not unpleasant taste
Massive improvement! I'd love to see an update in 3 months on how this yard looks!
Now if some generous soul would just rebuild the fence for the owner!
There’s got to be someone who would help him out, especially after the yard transformation
@@heatherhaines7910 And touch up the house, now that it is exposed to the light of day again.
I'm happy to donate to get the fence rebuild going!
I think it is awesome that you’re not just mowing the grass but you’re also taking care of the trees and shrubs.. you are a great guy for helping this gentleman like this. Great job 👍
This is going to be awesome! Sean, you’ve done such a great job on parts 1 and 2, looking forward to part 3!
I think you mean part 4 Gary Curry
@@monicap5071 I think he commented on this before it premiered :)
Be awesome to set up a givealittle fund to rebuild that fence..
@Sean.. never cease to amaze me with the work and effort you put into transforming peoples yards and lives..
you’re a true hero..
you got yourself your first series.. looking forward to part 4..
way to go Sean!!! 💯👌🏼💯👍🏼
Omg, that's some workout. You never fail to amaze me with the work you do to make someone's day. Great work as usual, hopefully you have got a few cold beers waiting for you at home. Looking forward to the next parts. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍👌👌👏👏👏💯🇬🇧🍺🍺🍺🍺
Thank you so much!
These videos just popped up on my feed. I find this extremely satisfying. My favorite home improvement shows and videos is when you take chaos and make it neat and tidy. I can tell how difficult these days have been and the results, amazing. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you.
Apologies to your back side, "butt" that was funny. Great job from a good man. Cheers mate.
OMG!!! The more episodes I watch about this property, the more I believe that's totally insane work to do. Be blessed for helping an old person. Sending lots of Ravens full of love from South of Spain 🇪🇸
My goodness, talk about vines!!! You don't need to go to the gym this week, you're definitely getting your workout on this property, lol. Great job as always, can't wait for the backyard. I'll bet the older gentleman is extremely happy👏👏💯💯
Great job Shawn. Shawn of the jungle. That was one heck of a cleanup. Well onward . Take a minute to recover and , we're ready for whatever is next.
That place looks like one match would have had the whole place up in flames. Great job man.
I'll never look at vine weeds
the same after this cleanup,
Sean, can't wait for Part IV!!
You did an amazing job on part 3. Can’t wait to see the next part. Thanks for sharing this video with us.
Fantastic job Sean. I'm loving these types of jobs where you help out those who need a hand. Keep up the awesome work bud.
Now you have just uncovered the whole house and it’s ready for painting
We’re in need of a TH-cam painters
Well done Sean, great job, you can almost hear the plants and trees sigh with relief now that they can breathe again. Hopefully they will flourish.
Amazing. So interesting to see what grows in another part of the world. What a great job, bringing things under control.
Watching these vids works wonders on my own mental health struggles. And I just want to thank you for your military service as well. I come from a family of military service so I appreciate and respect everything you’ve done all the best mate stay safe and love from Newcastle U.K. 🇬🇧🇦🇺
I'm always amazed at how much you get done in a day by yourself. The thing that would worry me with these big jobs is ticks and spiders. How often do you have to deal with the creepy crawlies?
"I want a shubbery!"....." A what?" ..... "A shubbery, i want a shubbery!" LOL sorry Monty Python came to mind when you were in the backyard! You Sean are a brave man! I'm doing an overgrown rental property tommorrow, but nothing as bad as this one, though it may involve some form of archeology to find the edges! I'm watching this to reinforce the fact that tommorrows job is not as bad as i think it will be.
This series is like you were dropped in the Amazon and had to prep the area for a new home. Holy crap, this property is a jungle!
If he ever went on vacation to Central America and saw a bunch of old pyramids that had been swallowed by the jungle, he’d heave an Aussie sigh and get to work.
Hey Sean, outstanding as always. I saw at least 3 different vines in that tangle but how that middle tree survived all that star jasmine is a mystery. I bet the big Crepe Myrtle tree will be beautiful again now it has room to breathe 💕
Awesome job, Sean! Too bad there aren't some generous painters who could make that sad little house sparkle a wee bit.
This episode was a ‘battle of the vines’! They were everywhere, underfoot in your eye and overhead. Reminded me a little of ‘’Jumanji’.
You won the battle!! Great job!
Johanna Maine USA
That is more than an "OK" workout my friend. You should be very proud of your work. I can't believe that the neighbors of this gentleman have not offered to help him out. His yard would have never got this bad if they had. Thank God there are people like you.
To be fair we don't know the whole story. Had a junk yard next door to us growing up and the bloke was a right arsehole who would chase you down and kick you so much as looked at the place. Not saying this is the case here but neighbourhood politics can be messy
@@classicambo9781 you are so right. I have encountered that as well. I would hope that this gentleman is not so inclined. Thank you for your reply. Much appreciated.
Offered? Call the city! This property is causing the other properties to lose its value.
This yard was unbelievable. It was like you were inching your way through a jungle. Fantastic work you did. Thank you for all you do to help others. You are amazing!
Loving this transformation! Well done Sean, keep it up. Def earned a couple beers!
“We’re gonna need a bigger trailer…” Great work as always Shaun 👌🏼👌🏼
Love how u throw yourself into your work, lol. U r a bloody legend. Stories will be told around campfires for years to come, of the great backyard battle that was won with skill determination and a whole lot of heart. Bless u mate.
11:05 No worries on taking the spill. Looks like something I've done numerous times wrestling overgrown vines and shrubs. Looks like you could use a pair of long-handled loppers to save time on the intermediate to small branches. Small limb saws are a must have in close quarters though.
This is turning into an utterly awesome series of videos 😃😃 and looking forward to you tackling that back section!!!!!! 😃😃😃🇬🇧
thanks Nigel :)
If I could give this two thumbs up I would. 👍🏼👍🏼 I hope you will continue to cover the areas that you’ve already done as upkeep so we can see the progress of the yard coming back to life in a healthy way. 💖
I’ve often seen machetes for sale and wondered “when would I ever need that?”
I am no longer wondering.
.
That is such a massive cleanup. You do such excellent work. The results are amazing. Thank you for helping those that can’t do for themselves. It is so frustrating as we get older.
Ooooh a 3-parter this is! The first two uploads had some dramatic before-during-and-afters. I'm looking forward to the continued transformation!
definitely gonna be more than 3 parts ;)
@@BladeMateLawnCare Oooooooh you just made my day!
Such an overgrown yard makes for excellent mowing viewing! I hope you don’t get bitten by a snake but it would be cool to see you find one. You are an Aussie hero and I love seeing your work on TH-cam- keep up the good work love from Switzerland
With small bites you can pretty much tackle anything that seems overwhelming. That's been my motto as well for a long time. Awesome job. I keep thinking there must be so much more light in the old man's house now! He'll be loving it! ❤
That was just outstanding!!! You did a beyond job, so impressive!!! Well done & praise well deserved!
Another fantastic job Sean 😍. I bet that's letting so much light coming into the house now. He must be over the moon.
I hope so!
Am in love with these series! I appreciate the fact you didn't show any critters, I know you had to find some. Excellent work!
That was just amazing, Sean. Take care and stay safe. Catch you on Part 4. 👍👍👍👍👍
That looked daunting. It is amazing how fast you started getting a sense of order back into it.
Great job so far. I particularly liked the falling over bit, he he.
😂 you looked like you were putting spaghetti into the bags at one point Sean.
You are a miracle worker cobber!
Another brilliant job.
Amazing, Sean, seeing you drag those vines out of the bushes and trees with sheer strength. How about showing us the truckloads that are going to the tip, if you're having to carry away. It is an amazing transformation!
You've done a mammoth job here, can't believe yu did this all on your own, your a champ!!!
This was soooo cool…. So much work I wished I could’ve helped you. I like how you attack the limbs and branches with your saw… its like your fencing with them. En garde! Haha. Your reaction when you stood up after you fell just literally cracked me up. I love your Work and I love your videos. Looking forward to the next one. Irene
Awesome job! I sure you were ok after that fall tackling the over growth!
Amazing job Sean. What a difference . This is like finding your way in a tropical rainforest. Would love to see a short follow-up video after some months to see how the plants and shrubs recovered after this drastic operation...
Same
Great job Sean!! Loving watching this transformation. Just a thought, a mini chainsaw would make quick work of those small branches etc.
He has one on a pole and used it in this video.
Sean, great job. Reminds me of my back yard at a previous home. Took me about two years to clear it! if you have need of a slightly larger hand saw/pruner, I can highly recommend any Fiskars POWER TOOTH saw. Cuts through live or dead wood like butter!
I'll have to check them out!
I've got one of those, good hand pruning saw
@@oges74 Yup. Very sharp and stays sharp a long time. Every time I slip it back into the blade cover, I manage to cut my fingers! 8-)
Fiscars stuff is the best.
Well done! Ive never seen such overgrowth cleared, in my entire life.
Hi Sean, we are so proud of you and glad to support your work. It warms my heart to see you transform this mans garden and also his life. He knows someone cares enough to work so hard to help him. Looking forward to part 4. I noticed some cuts on your arm, look after your self. ❤
I love how the “side of the house” is so spacious… these days the houses are so huge the stretch by the side fence can hardly allow an adult through. (ETA I hope the house doesn’t fall down now the “supporting” vines have been removed!)
¹
Hope your saving all the video “out takes” Sean, cause I bet there are a few.
love watching all your TH-cam’s from start to finish, just something so satisfying to watch the clean ups.
All the best from sunny Shellharbour 👍👍
You must've been thinking "why am I bloody doing this yard?" I bet anything as large as this would put anyone off! Love your work
I've never been accused of being the sharpest tool in the shed
