Budget-Friendly Backyard Ideas: Tips from a Licensed Landscape Contractor
From lounging spots perfect for morning coffee to vibrant plants that thrive in Southern California’s climate, this yard tells a story of love, effort, and a touch of resourcefulness. (Hello, roadside salvaged succulents! 🌵)
One major takeaway? Bermuda grass is no joke! 🥴 Despite efforts to mulch and maintain, it crept into a succulent bed and became a lesson in proactive landscaping. If you're battling it too, I've got organic tips like solarizing with black tarps or mulching thickly-but sometimes, tough calls (like removing a shrub 😢) are necessary.
🌳 Favorite Features:
1️⃣ A koi pond, built with the help of @Aquascapes, doubles as a neighborhood magnet. Kids, dogs, and wildlife all adore it! 🐟
2️⃣ The meta sequoia (dawn redwood)-a tree with ancient roots but, sadly, a short future here. Did you know it was rediscovered in the '40s after 20 million years?!
3️⃣ Salvaged agave and colorful Alstroemeria plants that bring life and texture. Bonus: drought tolerance! 💐
💡 Let’s Talk Design: The yard is a mix of practical and playful-balancing beams for kids, affordable OfferUp finds, and decorative panels that might need a color refresh. I’m thinking sage green or neutral teal. What do you think? 🎨
What’s your go-to tip for keeping invasive plants at bay or making small yards feel magical? Share below! 💬

Building a Swimmable Pond with Fish: Frequently Asked Questions
But how do I make tequila from the agave? 😁
Lol. Maybe he meant: puede pero no se va caer. Translation: You can but just don't fall. I dont think he call you a cow, lol.
OMG you have to save that tree! Contact a local arboretum and see if they want it. Then you’ll be able to visit it and watch it grow. 🧡🌲🧡
Wow you did so good on that yard. love the longer videos and the ones you make that show us how to.
Love the front yard so relaxing and peaceful. Yeah I think you should remove the tree by the fish pond before it gets worse.
So sad about the redwood. Hope you can transplant it. I love the front patio!
That narrow centre screen is terrible, switched off vid
More plant tips please!! I have mine in my basement and its so happy there. However how oft6do i water it?
I’m super critical of commercial and private landscape. I look at the design and I’m like… What were they thinking? 💭 😂
Either way I'm just so glad that native plants are finally getting the love they deserve!
So what’s the rule of thumb? A particular amount of space between each?
Ours in the house we have had for years. We love them.
This stuff is not as dangerous as people like to spread fear about. I've used it several times for years, just use common sense Most people are absolutely stupid and think they can just use however much they want. So I don't even bother trying to explain how it works to people anymore, much less let them try it. Here in Ohio, and almost all of the U.S., it's perfectly legal, they've never passed laws about it in about 95% of America.
There's a very small amount of datura in my OTC sleep aid. It's an extremely small amount and it's a standardized extract. I haven't had any negative side effects from it. It helped my pain and hyperandrenergic POTS, which I wasn't expecting.

You are one of the hardest working and sincerely influential landscapers on UA-cam. Your passion for this work and life is evident. Happy holidays!
Awesome video! Well done.
Thanks for the instructions!
Hi Sara, what ones do you listen to? I recommend 'the teacher's pet'.
❤
Nice demo...🤠👍🏾
😳I’ve been a landscape professional for over a decade and I’ve never seen anything like that?! What a clever lil creature!😲💞🤔😅✌️✨
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Where you saving the rocks for flower bed projects? I enjoy using natures materials. Your lawn will look great
I love the longer videos it has so much more info. Well done Sara.
I made it by myself thanks to WoodPrix plans. I think it's the best way to learn how to make that.
I am pretty sure you can find good solutions for all your ideas on WoodPrix page :)
I planted two in my garden, one in front of the house and another in the vegetable garden. It gives off a good smell in summer and repels mosquitoes. And lavander too.
I'm sure you'll learn how to make it if you'll read WoodPrix instructions from cover to cover :)
I had a feeling that you might be MA because you're super creative, great with your hands, have strong work ethic, and cool like that!
Wow, thank you! :)
Brand of boots?! ❤
Fun video, I just picked up a couple of these. Love having them around
You got your mom to demo! Cool.
Check alone the base for a hole or just under the mulch? Strange
Do you know the main difference between chlorophyll and a hormone?
👍
That is so cool
That's amazing!!! Wow.
That's cool. Never heard of it
You couldn't walk over the 1' curb? That's gotta be awkward wanting attention on a jobsite like that.
