Thank you for this vid! I’m a beginner at this and I planted my boxwoods last winter following your tips. Now they’re coming out of hibernation like I just bought them!
Good information and presentation! Always good to see how things are done across the ocean (we are a Dutch company). We are specialised in Boxwood for over 35 years now :). One word of advice, don't panic when you come across Box blight. It can easily be prevented and cured. Keep on sharing the good stuff!
@topbuxusholland Hi! I’m about to plant some boxwoods. I heard about boxwood blight and have always heard that it’s not curable?! How do you cure and prevent boxwood blight? Tks for any tips!! 🙄🤔
@@MsCmsh Hi there! Never water from above (sprinkler), but use a drip hose. A combination of rain (or sprinkler water) , sunshine and warm temperatures can lead to boxwood blight more quickly. Our product, Boxwood Restore & Protect Mix (Amazon), works preventively and curatively against boxwood blight. Spray once a month during the growing season, and the plants will remain lush and green! 👍
Hi Kaleb, I love the content of your videos, and seeing your beautiful boxwood shrubs go into the ground! Several years ago, I drastically cut my boxwoods back by over half because they had outgrown the space. I cut them down from 5 feet tall to no more than 18 inches. Therefore, I had to cut rather large branches, leaving some pretty ugly-looking shrubs behind. At that point, I figured I'd killed them, thus creating a new shrub shopping opportunity for myself. To my surprise and delight, they all survived and came back beautifully, at a more manageable size. Plants are very forgiving, especially if planted in good soil. ~Margie
As an ocd person and lifetime gardener I would suggest you use some old cardboard boxes or tarp to keep the grass around your workspace safe and easy to cleanup.
I like your new walkway and wonder what stone it had been constructed with? Really, beautiful I must say and the boxwood add a formal & elegant feel to your new walkway. Your soil is so dark and rich looking. I just had mine amended with compost because I am working with clay soil. Was outside today planting more daylilies and heuchera. One of those glorious days where all is wonderful. Your edging is meticulous and I think we should have our driveway edged be our landscaping company. Thank you, for your fun & inspiring video & your great ideas!
I’m in zone 5 in MI. Check the variety for winter hardy. Green Velvet (what he planted) is pretty cold tolerant here but you may need even more winter proof ones in zone 4.
@9:34 Wait! I heard from other videos that boxwood should not be watered from above to avoid getting the leaves wet. Although I wonder what happens when it rains? I'm new to gardening and have been trying to research green velvet boxwood for our new home in zone 5 Northern Illinois. So many horror stories of boxwood blight, the moths that lay their larvae inside and fungal spores that can spread with watering the wrong way, improper clipping and not cleaning the tools properly, etc... 😢 P.S. You make the planting look so easy. I dream of adding them to our new home. ❣️
I planted some boxwoods but not sure if I’m under watering them they are starting to turn yellow into brown like the sun is burning them maybe any tips
I'm new to boxwood and I was told the closer you plant them together the shorter they grow and the further you plant them the higher they grow. How much of this is true as I'm about to plant some in a couple of days
I got a row of these next to driveway which slopes slightly (about 5 degree angle) The lower half of them leaves have turned yellow are not growing Any ideas ?
Does this apply to Japanese boxwood too? My shrubs are dying still from Texas freeze of 2021. I need to plant new ones. A complete newbie to planting anything.
I really liked your technic for removing the grass
Thank you for this vid! I’m a beginner at this and I planted my boxwoods last winter following your tips. Now they’re coming out of hibernation like I just bought them!
What a great idea about keeping the grass for bare spots elsewhere! I never would’ve thought about that… thanks for the wonderful tip! 🙂🙃

Wow, that soil! I dig and hit some plastic net that they put under the sod and/or rocks. And it is clay 🙍🏽♀️. Would LOVE to have your soil!
Same. I’ve got a case of soil envy 😅
Same! I grew up in IL and moved to the Southeast and the clay is horrible😭

This was awesome! Thanks!! I just planted 5 boxwoods today and needed to confirm I did it right. Lol
Did it work?
As an ocd person and lifetime gardener I would suggest you use some old cardboard boxes or tarp to keep the grass around your workspace safe and easy to cleanup.
Love your enthusiasm!
Thank you so much I'm new to landscape design and I love your step by step videos...ox nice to see you and I'm glad all is healthy!!!
Great advice! Looks beautiful. I love boxwood too and this was a real treat to watch!
Good to see you and Kipp. Hope he gets back to the garden soon !
Thank you I appreciate your video. I just bought new boxwoods and I’m installing them in my front yard.

Great video

Thank you so much for this video!
We are in Des Moines IA and have lots of clay. So jealous of your amazing soil. Also, love your channel!
Your soil is so beautiful. I’m in central Texas and it’s clay and rocky
I have clay too. They recommend amending with pine bark compost.
This was an extremely helpful video. Thank you for sharing.
That's right about the growth of boxwood they grow fast and healthy..easiest thing I have....Indiana here
I learned so much!! Thank you!! Thank you!! I’m off to buy the half moon right now!! 😊😊😊
I just constructed a new 14' bed much like yours, and have my eyes on boxwoods. We're in zone 4/5.
I’m in zone 5 in MI. Check the variety for winter hardy. Green Velvet (what he planted) is pretty cold tolerant here but you may need even more winter proof ones in zone 4.
Thank you, this video was helpful for my boxwood project.
@9:34 Wait! I heard from other videos that boxwood should not be watered from above to avoid getting the leaves wet. Although I wonder what happens when it rains?
I'm new to gardening and have been trying to research green velvet boxwood for our new home in zone 5 Northern Illinois.

This was so helpful! I learned a lot thank you! Going to plant mine now! 🥰
Great video and thanks for sharing!

Another wonderful video
Thank.you so much for your video!! I've learned so much just from this one video 😊
Very informational!! Thank you so much !!🙌
You make me happy!!!!!! 😊 thx
I planted some boxwoods but not sure if I’m under watering them they are starting to turn yellow into brown like the sun is burning them maybe any tips
How often do you water newly planted boxwood mostly sun 90+ degree days?
How do you do if after the winter the tops of your boxwoods are yellow?
I'm new to boxwood and I was told the closer you plant them together the shorter they grow and the further you plant them the higher they grow. How much of this is true as I'm about to plant some in a couple of days
This was great! I'm following!
the best info thanks
Great video. How far apart should they be? And what's the width of the area?
Depends on the growth habit of the variety. Google and it will give height and width dimensions.
Love it!
I got a row of these next to driveway which slopes slightly (about 5 degree angle)
The lower half of them leaves have turned yellow are not growing
Any ideas ?
Thats great video
You can do the no dig method next time instead of removing the sod. Makes everything much more easier.
What type of grass do you have? It's beautiful!
Beautiful 😻
Does this apply to Japanese boxwood too? My shrubs are dying still from Texas freeze of 2021. I need to plant new ones. A complete newbie to planting anything.
How would you amend sandy soil (Florida) - with a little compost?
Those were big shrubs, I had to buy the 2.5 quarts. they’re I’ll
Grow in though. A few year but eventually.
good video
Hi, what is the name of the plant at the end of the garden the one In the green pot at the end?
Awesome job.
Does the boxwood need a lot of sunlight?
Check the variety. Many grow in sun or shade.
can you plant this on winter?
What’s the name of the shovels you used?
which zone areyou talking about
what kind of boxwoods are you planting?
He said they were Green Velvet variety.
Looking at that soil makes me want to cry, thinking of the nasty, peanut butter-like clay I have.
🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
What is the name for that box plant
I believe he said it was Green Velvet.
Try living in Alabama with red clay…. Hard red as fire clay… I want your soil!!!!!!! 😢
I live in MI and have clay too. Here they recommend amending soil with Pine bark compost.
2:27 “I mæsured”
😂
This was a great video. Also, can we be friends😂
