Your content just can't be beat! My neighbors ask me landscaping questions all the time, and from now on, i am just going to send them to your channel. You cover everything that anyone would need to know to be successful. Thank you and bravo! 👏👏👏
Oh and can you do a video on transplanting? I think a lot of beginners could benefit, and me too! Probably not the best time of year to ask, but just throwing it out there. Lol
I'm originally from Southern California, just had a house built in the forested hills 12 miles west of Willamina, OR., and experiencing gardener’s shock. 🤣 Different dirt, totally different plants and weeds, and areas of rough-graded soil have got this older do-it-yourselfer a bit overwhelmed. I started your coursework months ago and I love your system. Thank you for this post. I'm going to look at the plan I created and definitely divide it into numbered spaces to complete. Having a very wild and raw palette with different obstacles is a challenge, but I've never been one to shy away. The challenge I'm having is finding answers to my questions from someone who is familiar with this specific area and has expertise. I will persevere! Thanks again for your great guidance!
You're so amazing😭
can absolutely say your channel has been such a big help. in the last few months i got to plan out a couple new/expanded garden beds and the whole time i've kept all your videos in mind and even now at such an early stage it looks great. honestly i need to show your videos to the rest of my family so i'm not the only one who's planning out everything in the garden lol
Thanks for the tips! I'm currently working on smothering out parts of my front yard lawn in anticipation of planting there next year.
Great tips! For your background, consider a bookshelf of garden books - it’s an Academy and those books you can be proud of! (The leaves near the cup look dead?) Maybe more plants in background? Well framed and lit! Classy T shirt! Just some observations as a fan.
I just bought a house that's yard was run into the ground. I look forward to your videos, and I'd love if you made them longer with more detail 😊
Do you sell those t-shirts? I really want one!
Could you do a video about planting on slopes. My backyard goes down in the back and I’m worried about run off or even plants falling over time. It’s not a steep drop off but I know this is super common for a lot people and new construction homes that have incline or decline yards
Hello from Greece!!!
You're amazing!!!
You tell the truth and you help us to be realistic with own garden.
Thank you!!!! 🎉❤
oh man I wish I was more level headed. Just cardboard and mulched the entire front yard at once. ame here from a video you did where you showed different front lawn landscape idea.such a useful video!
So helpful! Thank you.
I am new to your videos and love them! We bought a house 4 years ago that had minimal landscaping and then a derecho took out most of our trees.😭You have helped me so much already! Thank you!!❤
Thanks for sharing such great ideas!
I love your videos! I’d love to see a video on the pros and cons of different types of landscape edging.
I love your content. It’s fast paced, loaded with useable ideas and tips. You use the time efficiently, which lets me use my time efficiently. Thank you!
hello from the philippines…thank you soooo much for you helpful videos
This is amazing content! Thank you so much for realistic, clear and step building/ layering advice for designing a sustainable landscape!❤
Wonderful advice 👍🏾 greetings from Belfast , Northern Ireland
Thank you, was about to start a project and several tips and suggested links have saved me a ton of wasted time and money. thank you thank you for sharing your expertise.
I have watched a couple of your videos and decided to subscribe.. Your tips and approach all make sense (and you definitely have the credentials and expertise!), and you have a BALANCED presentations in regards to "controversial" stuff, and bring it all back to earth. I've been into gardening since I was in my pre-teens, 58 now. Life came around, and although I had created some nice scapes, life happened and had cut back on things I was doing. The gardens "maintained" their look but were getting hard to "tame." Time opened up, so some changes were made, and for the good. I'm in the process of "restoring" our back yard; We recently lost an above ground pool a couple of years to a neighbor's tree that pretty much totalled it... Ok, no problem, now we can build garden niches and create our little "haven" . That's going good, except for the area where the pool was.. We had someone come in to "fix" it, but really did not do much for reviving the area ("sandy") so I've decided to do it in patches... amending the area with compost/topsoil while adding "garden" niches... Have you produced any videos on such issues? Thank you again, and look forward to your other vids, Take care!
Hi! I love your videos. Two topics I’m trying to learn more about: landscape options for shady areas and pet-friendly plants. I have a big back yard that has a shady corner. I have lots of dogs coming through so I don’t want to fill them with Hostas. I am thinking of just putting dog stuff there but maybe there are other options 🤔 Anyway, thank you for the videos!
For garden beds laying fallow …suggestions for annuals? I’m thinking of placing a cardboard planter or coconut basket in the bed for some quick color and coverage that I can also easily pull out later? Zone 6.
Do you have a recommendation for landscaping software that is easy to learn and reasonably priced? Have you done a video of any of those? Thanks... just found your site and really like it.
Do you have a video on utility lines?
I would like to expand a bed around the corner of my house in front of my utilities.
fighting gout weed for years that I carried in on irises from a friend who didn't warn me - they are under the bushes and other plants now so not sure how to deal with that if you have any suggestions - would love to see you live in some of your projects.
May I add getting a soil test before planning for plants
Once I know the size of a tree, how far away should I plant it from the house? Such as a tree that grows 15 to 20 feet high and about 16 feet wide.
Hi. What about horse tail? I covered a large area with cardboard and wood chips and the stuff seems to thrive in it. Any suggestions for eradicating the stuff? Thanks
Hi, I've been binge watching your videos and loving them. Could you do a video on how to plant and design around a drain field. My back yard has a 20 x 40 drain field with an future drain field set aside next to it. They take up 2/3rds of my backyard leaving 1/3 left on the right side. I did have beautiful woods behind my house, but a developer just ripped out every tree. I bought several green giant arborvitae it plant along the back. I have about 25' from the end of the drain field to my fence line. I'm planning on planting the green giants 6' from the fence should this be enough room for them without bothering the drain field? Thank you!! 😊
We purchased a home and someone had planted azaleas right through the middle of the property. The house is in the middle and at an angle of our 1 acre property. We had to take out a lot of trees because they were rotting in the middle and we live in Florida..not good for hurricanes. Now we have a lot of azaleas that are 10 ft tall right in the way and are frying in the sun, any suggestions
I thought I eradicated bishop weed but two years later it’s back with a vengeance. Nothing will kill it!😢
I'm afraid to store mulch bc im afraid snakes might hide there 😢
