Andrea, this is such a timely, gorgeous video! My husband & I have been putting more effort into our yard than ever before & as you know projects can be expensive. Thank you for the budget friendly ideas & taking the time to share!
Yay!! So happy it was a help to you, Rachel! :)
I love that you talk about the Lord! Way to go! Blessings...
Hello, I saw the title and said to myself..."let me watch to see if I can get any ideas"...I have to say I was more inspired by how God provided materials through your church and church members as well as wisdom through your dad. As I was watching your son walking around the flower beds on the rocks I had a HUGE Smile on my face, because I pictured the image of walking on streets of gold in Heaven. Your backyard is a heavenly scene. Thank you so much for sharing. Blessings.
So beautifully charming! You're very fortunate to have a loving husband to help with all those projects!
Awe! Those little boys playing with garden. Lovely family
Don't beat yourself up over your choice of landscape fabric. Cheap or expensive, weeds grown ON TOP of the landscape fabric, not much one can do. Love your home, your yard, everything.
I agree
Cardboard works great! I got the idea from our local botanical garden
The only thing that I ever used that succeeded blocking weeds was a discarded carpet. Even then, as dirt blows into your yard and ends up in any area that you 'weed block', the weeds are going to grow. They're just easier to remove early on before the roots entangle themselves in whatever surface you choose.
It’s so hard to not want everything done at once. It’s a good reminder to take time and get one thing done at a time- I needed to hear that today :)
I hear ya, friend.
I love your lilacs. They are my favorite. Wish they bloomed all year long.
I agree! They smell lovely! I have one in my yard and I just love it!
Love this! Thanks for sharing how to get creative when on a budget. Always good to check for free stuff on Facebook marketplace, too and I love trades! A friend of mine and I are always trading plants,pots, anything free that I see that I don’t have a place for I always grab for a friend to share or do a DIY on it, sell it and get what l want. ❤❤❤ You have a beautiful yard and home! 🤩
I love repurposed items… Love the sidewalk.. Weeds are going to grow… I use vinegar, dawn, salt and it works great on my weeds in my sidewalk.. Works and no harmful chemicals… Love all your ideas.. So natural..
That sounds like a perfect idea! Once sprayed and the weeds die, do they come out of the ground easily?
@@stephaniecrothers8482 they dry up and die within a couple of days.. Once you get things cleaned up then spray to keep everything at bay..
Thanks so much!!
I just learned this trick! Buy a jug of mulch glue to spray your pea gravel with. (If you haven't already.) It will keep your pea gravel under control and also helps with weed control! Love your walkway idea.
Your reclaimed wood walkway is inspiring me for my backyard
Me too! I am drooling and my brain is spinning.
I have wanted guttering on my house for 34 years. Forget it. I am doing the stone dry creek bed now I collect as much water I can with water troughs for my animals and flowers, but now I can do both! Even a mix of cement and stone will work. Thanks! 😊
Great job‼♥️🇹🇹
Tip.. corrugated cardboard is the best thing for weed blocking. And its biodegradable.
Got the tip from that show from HGTV" Backyard crashers " show. It works!👍🏾
I keep reading cardboard is a great alternative? But does it attract roaches?😬
Card boards are not worked,still have grass grow through little faster than wood mulch
Cardboard works but attracts carpenter ants.
Your outdoor space is simply charming - and I love that you did it on a budget!
Creek bed is the best DIY project! Great idea!
You can't beat free. I've been watching for free rocks for over a year to complete a project in the backyard. You guys got super lucky with all of that free wood and rocks! It's beautiful!
Violet - try the dump - I found a big pile of bricks and pavers at our dump and the cost - nothing!
@@tedbryer2512 What a great find! I've bought lots of things from the store next to the dump, but not at the dump itself.
If anyone needs rocks...Ive got more than plenty. If you live near the Texas Hill Country let me know.
@@Donna-vh5ym Very sweet of you to offer. I'm on the central coast in California and am happy to announce that I finally scored some free river rocks. We were able to finish our water feature corner and it looks awesome!!
I LOVE THE WALKWAY I'M TEMPTED TO PUT ONE IN MYSELF ALSO THE CREEK BED GREAT IDEA THANK YOU GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS
I absolutely love the stone dry creek! It's beautiful.
You are truly an amazing mother and wife, and your family is so lucky to have you make them a cozy home.💕
Love the lilac.
Storybook home. Everything is so beautiful.
Exactly. Wonderland Fairytale Yard
Look into the term " French Drain"...it's how we in Ireland deal with keeping water away from.a house....and we get a lot of rain
We have a french drain in our basement. 2" wide x 3" deep around the perimiter. Also have a sump pump. We have never had an issue with water in the basement, but others in the neighbourhood have.
I will look that up, thanks!
A sump pump is mechanical a French drain isn't. The terms aren't interchangeable.
When a french drain is used inside a home, it runs the perimeter of the basement and is on an angle leading to a corner of the basement. At that corner, the water has to go somewhere, hence a sump pump to get the water out of the basement and to the outside.
@@catherined3791 right. I just meant that it's two different things.
That walkway is perfect! What we have found to work better than landscape fabric is laying down newspaper, and soaking it. We did this under mulch & still no weeds 5 years later!
How thick should it be? Thanks
You are so blessed. I love it all.
Thank you Glenda!! :)
Love the stone's
Your home and property is "enchanting"--so beautifully done.
Thank you so very much!! :)
Your home is lovely. I live that you are able to rescue most of your supplies.
Your home is absolutely beautiful! You're so blessed to have a hubby who is so inspired to making your home so beautiful!!! God bless, see on your next video. ❤
Ohh thank you Judy!! :)
This hear you loud and clear on the reuse, reclaim and recycle. We have many projects like that at our home. It is so gratifying to do something that others think you had someone else do for you.
Instead of garden fabric, you could fill between the wood with super low ground cover plantings, which would probably look really cute, and eventually would fill in completely.
The walkway looks so sweet and welcoming :)
instablaster.
yes, even landscape fabric breaks down, i use ground cover
Love everything you’ve done in your yard. You have created such a natural feel to your space and it looks so calming to me. Reminds me of how yards used to be not the sterile look everyone has today..
You n your family are so beautiful. Love watching your little boys in the garden. God bless you ❤
Old comment but I agree. Too much lawn, too perfect with edging, way too much commercial looking ground coverings, chemical weed killers that leech into drinking water. The list goes on. I love messy gardens-more plants than lawn and imperfection. 🥰
Cozy cottage cute backyard 🌼🌷🌸🌺🌻
Beautiful beautiful!!
I love this. Your outdoors is just as beautiful and cozy as the inside of your home. You and your hubby make such a great work team.
Your videos have inspired me to pursue my passions.
Omgosh how nice. Everything looks so beautiful. 😊🇨🇦
I'm so grateful for this video. It offered a range of projects that were not only easy to execute but also light on the wallet. The presenter's enthusiasm and clear explanations made the entire experience enjoyable, and I'm proud of the transformations I achieved in my outdoor area.
Great ideas. Your yard is lovely.
Love the fieldstone!!!
Am i the only one find her so beautiful and sound nice and very friendly. Im a new subscriber and im a fan now. i love all your 5 diy project esp the last one, i will definitely do it. Thanks Andrea. ❤️
Everything is lovely! Yes, one step at a time can be appreciated even more... Blessed, safe, healthy and happy Sunday to all! 4/03/22
Your home is adorable.
I love the simplicity and calming feeling of your home, inside and out. I love your taste in decorating. Also, your kids are so adorable.
that trench idea with the field stone was amazing. Made it soo much better that you got it for free. such a good example of a community helping each other out.
Your backyard is cozy and beautiful. Your beautiful as well💕
I love to watch your videos! We are so nice and helpful. I like your DIY projects which inspire me to do mine. I like every your projects because they are low cost and it’s important for me. Im retired and my income so tight so seeing that you can do it something extraordinarily without spending a lot of money brings me hope. I’m in new house for last three summers and every year I’m trying to add something new. Thank you!
I especially like the last idea, the dry creek. It looks great. 🧚🏼♀️
thank you so very much!! :)
Because of this post we used the stone instead of gutters at my son’s home.
I live in Spokane, and most of the homes here have rock around them for snow and rain drainage. Not many of the homes here have gutters for the same reasons as you. We also have what’s called rain ladders, which is kind of like a chain with metal rain, catchers, i.e. mine has 3” wide upside down umbrellas. It protects your landscaping or rocks from the rain beating down so hard. This is the first video of yours that I have seen. I’m a new subscriber… I love what you’ve done! ❤
The dry creek bed idea is a much more attractive idea for those of us in fire-prone areas that need to keep organic material away from our foundation than the gravel most people use. Very nice! (and we have lots of rocks in our area!)
Wow!! Yet again!! I would have never guessed you could make a property look so amazing for so little!! Thank you for all the ideas!!
O love rocks and stones. My late husband and I collected over 40 yrs of marriage traveling across the USA camping. I will now make a garden ( fake) we’ll structure with my precious stones. My neighbor gave me his wood from his old fence. So many uses. Love your creative ideas and on my budget, doable. ❤️❤️
Such a sweet soul. God bless you and your family 💕
When I needed dirt I called a swimming pool company and they were only too happy to deliver for free.
Great tip, thankyou Barbara :-)
That's genius, Barbara!
Wow, what a marvel idea! Thanks!
What I be able to plant grass seed on that kind of dirt I have a large area that's very low and needs lifted up before I can see it it otherwise it is a mud hole mosquito pit
when my uncle needed to fill a swimming pool, he called the fire dept for a hydrant check and they put the runoff in his pool...
I so enjoy listening to you talk about your home and all your projects! Your outside is so nice!
Hey Andrea, y'all are so thrifty and imaginitve! Everything you do inspires all of us with creativity and beauty! Can hardly ever wait to see what you have to inspire us with next! You are so delightful to watch and all of y'all's hard work not only shows but also makes a beautiful statement. Your little boy pulling those weeds is priceless 😍! Take care....❤️😘🥰🤩‼️
Taked to much.do'nt like her
This is the first time I've seen your little boys. They're adorable. I hope they will all be as hard-working as your husband is. I love seeing your videos. We're building a cottage in our backyard to use as a guest house for our children and grandchildren. Your flowers and ideas inspire me and I love seeing that you also love cottage style.
Your home and backyard have such a homey feeling. I love the reclaimed wood walkway. The stone and river rock boulders are amazing. I live in Miami, FL. and I turned my gardens into succulent and cactus with river rocks because of our year round heat. You were lucky to get all those large boulders for free. They cost me about $20.00 for the large boulders each..🖤🌿☑️♡🤍♡👏🏻🌿🖤
Your truly blessed to be able to live in such a beautiful house. There is a lot of satisfaction in doing a lot of your projects yourself. I’ve always believed that the outside of your home should be just as beautiful as the inside. And yours is both. Oh my, I would have me a bench around the English garden and just sit a while and enjoy the beauty. I love how you have kept to your purple, pinks and white theme. That makes a beautiful statement. Have a wonderful day!
Aww thank you for such a sweet comment!! :)
Agreed on the color scheme!
You two did a magnificent job on your yard. I love your walkway, the rock planter box and your
bench. It all looks so beautiful and cottagey (if that's a word) lol. It's so warming and inviting looking. You children are precious. You mentioned adding roses one day. I'm 73 years old and always had a pretty yard, but until 7 years ago I never had good results with roses. I bought 8 double knock out roses and planted them. I've never had one problem with them. They are absolutely gorgeous from late spring all the way to Thanksgiving. I use osmocote - time release fertilizer (opposite of what they recommend, but I've used it for years and years and never had it fail me on any plants or my vegetable garden. I fertilize in spring then late fall. Don't buy your roses from home depot or lowes. Those are not the same as one's that come from a nurseries, I learned my lesson!
There's several listed online. I planted the 2 gallon pots and they grew the first year to 3 feet tall. They're now about 4 feet, but won't get any taller. Be sure and leave like 3 to 4 feet
between them when you plant them because they really bush out and will grow together. I hope I haven't gone on for too long. I know you're trying to get your yard complete and believe me, roses are the most beautiful plants in a cottage type garden like yours. That's what I have.
Keep up the great work and start growing some roses this year. The Double Knock Outs will not disappoint you. God Bless you and your family. Linda from Texas.
You can get wood chips for mulch from tree trimmer/removal companies for free sometimes.
I love you thrifty ideas.
Brilliant! Looks like better homes and garden!
You have definitely got the cottage vibe at your home and property. So beautiful. I love reclaimed items. No waste.
Thank you so much Bonnie!! :)
Love your home! It looks so calm & inviting. Very nicely done with your projects!
Your garden is as beautiful as you... wish I could find rocks and when one does at nurseries they are expensive where
I live :( , rocks gives a garden that special touch. I do recycle as much as it’s posible.
Awesome job young lady. Stay blessed and safe.
That's great for you and hubby to do the home projects over time together. Gorgeous DIYS.
Love ❤️ what you have done. Looks beautiful
Love love love the stones! Everything was beautiful!
It’s so wonderful that you have so many connections and an open mind!
ohhh your projects are just beautiful!!!
I just love y’all!! You are such an inspiration to everyone!! The stones are beautiful.
Wow excellent idea, I’ll have to remember to call an excavating co. or pool co. for dirt or even rocks. Beautiful, everything looks beautiful, love the wood walkway and repurposed rocks around as a border. Thank you
Love that you use reclaimed and natural elements.
Your home and garden is beautiful!😍
Aww thank you so so much! :)

The easy-to-follow instructions and cost-effective materials made these projects accessible to anyone looking to spruce up their outdoor area. I can't wait to tackle these creative ideas and transform my outdoor space on a budget.
It cost us $30,000.00 to fix our basement issues. They had to reinforce the wall and waterproof it. Then the pea stone was poured. It has taken 5 years to get the yard back to normal. I feel you.
I loved all the projects! I esp loved the walkway made from wood from yr church. I can't help but think of the many blessings and love and fellowship those treads have conveyed over the years.
Oh my goodness, YES! :) I thought the same thing! :)
You got everything free... Lucky!
I love the dry creek bed!
Love love love your yard. So pretty.you are so blessed to have a husband who is willing to do all theses projects.
Thank you Ruth! :)
Thankyou for the inspiration its an hour and forty minutes since I watched your vlog. In that time I have finished the last coat of paint in one half of my kitchen. Keep vloging you do make a difference to our lives. May I say also you are beautiful both on the outside and within xx
Loooove your walkway. Your entire home is gorgeous, Andrea!!
My God, you are just gorgeous! Great video.
Your videos are such a blessing! Thank you
I love the walkway so cool, turned out awesome!! Great Idea
Great idea on dry creek bed. House is beautiful!
Thank you for the tips, love the tip about the excavation company dirt, haven't thought of that yet!
The landscape fabric might not be the issue concerning the weeds. They are very hardy and might just be latching unto some dust in the stones. You can make an environmentally friendly weed killer and spray the stones every so often...one gallon jug of white vinegar, add a half cup of salt and a few hefty squirts to liquid detergent.
Your projects have added so much attention to detail. I love it and I am dreaming up what my future home/ backyard will look like. Everything looks so pretty in your garden!
What a fantastic source of inspiration for budget-conscious homeowners. Much thanks
Wow you have a huge yard, nice projects ❤️
Your grass looks like a bowls green xx
