This video is a mid-project visit, the final visit, and some of the plants. We will go back as the space develops. Jeremy finished this project pretty quickly and I have been slow to edit it. Here is the link to the planning video ua-cam.com/video/EUBJ5_1PW88/v-deo.html. Thanks for watching
I like the way this guy speaks. He doesn’t just answer your questions with ‘yes’ and ‘no’. He does a great job explaining his thoughts. I can’t wait to see it finished with all the plants! Please keep us updated when it’s done. It’s going to be amazing!!
I agree completely! Jeremy sounds like someone I would enjoy working with. It sounds like he has a passion for the art of stone gardening. Jim, you again have shared how beautiful God’s gifts can enhance our vision & continue to give for generations after us. Thank you!
Jeremy is talented and well spoken. An artist and his medium is rocks. I would love to have one of those pallets of stone delivered and place them around my yard. I would love to see a video with ideas on how to beautify my yard with the stones. For example I’ve read to put a large stone at the feet of my clematis to keep its feet cool. Also to put a large stone in front of my hydrangea where watering it is taking the soil down the grade. Would love to get ideas for other small projects I could handle. Small rocks and a few medium I could get help with.
I love all the little pockets. I put up a little wall with stones found in my yard. I’d love to add some of the plants, especially the flowering one if I can find it. I need to go back and find the name!
Loquats are delicious! My great grandfather's brother, Uncle Willard, lived in south Florida and I was lucky enough that the few times I was able to visit as an adult before he passed, he would load me up with his home grown delicious citrus including loquats . Quite a few years ago, I ordered and planted a 7 foot loquat tree but it was killed in a colder winter. One day I will try again.
I am on a hillside and have several large stone retaining walls. They are beautiful, but with my current health issues, I would prefer a flat yard. If you are physically able, they are great.
Love that point! I’d love to hear his thoughts on why he decided to make it so rounded at the top….I’dhave made it a bit more leveled off, at least in some places…. Just awesome!
I have neither a skid steer nor tons of stone but I've made a nice border with logs & rocks from close to home. Don't be intimidated by scale folks, the basic information applies to whatever size project you've got. It took me weeks to make a small area within the bed I made, a lovely corner to change elevation slightly, channel drainage & grow a deciduous Azalea with companion plants. It looks like nature made it, just what I was after. This is great guys, love the process vids.
A wealth of knowledge … Jeremy is so conversant in all facets here; soil, plants, rock stacking, and future changes in available sunlight/shade. Jim, thanks for producing your video and sharing with us.
I'm at the start of a similar project. I have a large number of rocks and I have the start of a pile and a tractor to make the pile a bit larger. Ultimately, I hope to create a crevice garden populated with mountain natives and other fun and/or interesting plants. I live at 6840' above sea level.
I would love to see what he does with the concrete. I moved onto my current property a year ago. Found so much concrete buried. Hate to have to pay to get it hauled away.
To know what the perfect stone is would be to say you could construct Japanese castle walls. Just trying to put one back together takes decades and that is when all the perfect stones were already picked out for you, see Kumamoto castle's earthquake restoration.
Love the stone wall with lots of garden plant 🪴 options. I too like rocks and stones in my garden, have only a few of them, giving character to a garden. Thanks To Jeremy and Jim for all the info.
I appreciate these videos on landscaping with rocks. Been incorporating them into my landscape as well over the last few years and it’s an art on how to do it correctly! Would love to see more, even on smaller scale projects.
Brilliant video. Absolutely awesome. Awe inspiring to say the least. Loved seeing a very talented man build with natural stone. Great natural design. Also as a side note, the colour of the double story building in the background is just perfect x 💜💜💜🙏🇦🇺😇thanks for sharing x 💜💜💜🙏🇦🇺😇
Is your topsoil a sandy loam soil with higher organic content? You said the top layer was about 40% permatill and 30% compost. What percentage of that top layer is the topsoil?
Love this use of rock. My Pacific Northwest property has stone for retaining walls, steps, patio, and walkways. I love it so much. I especially like volunteers popping up, because it’s not easy to plant anything with a large root ball.
2:44 Going to the pallet.... or going to the the palette... either applies.... wow, thoroughly enjoyed this video. Can we get Jeremy just talking to us and reassuring us that our gardening journeys are going to work out....or not.... that it will be okay? and to just relax and make sure the rocks are talking to each other?
This was so helpful. Moving to Panama in a year and the yard will be loaded with volcanic boulders. Now I know how to make my rock wall for the garden.
Very interesting to hear Jeremy go through his thought processes. I have huge rocks on my property courtesy of Mother Nature and extensive boulder retaining walls. This series has been a great inspiration to do more with those areas (not to mention helpful plant selections). Sorry to see that the baptisia can't be shipped outside NC. I guess I will just have to visit! Thanks to you both!
Great video! By the way, I have a hard time finding Permatill in Midwest locally. Online also hard to find. Any suggestion to use something else? We have a lot of clay soil here in Midwest, Iowa (Zone5)
Very interesting video, about creating rock/boulder beds. I utilize rocks a number of places in my yard. I have also accumulated a 40 year-old rock pile, from those I have retrieved on my property over the years.

What an interesting project!
I love stones in the garden 🌸💕🌸
This dude is the Ron Swanson of rock gardening 👍
Great description!

I love his voice.
I can barely afford plants, now I gotta buy rocks !??
Seems well worth it, very cool ! 😎
Amazing! I would love to add some hard scape
Been landscaping building Foodscapes , i'm busier than all get out . Thanks Jim
Love this!
Well that’ll wear your fingerprints off. Looks nice 😎👌

You'll see one just like you describe next week. I shot an awesome video last night with paths lined in logs and found stone.

Thanks for watching. I've known Jeremy for a long time. He is extremely knowledgeable!

How creative and beautiful! Can't wait to see what plants he will choose, and how he places them. Love this!

This was super, super helpful, as we’re building walls right now. The details, methods and thoughts/logic behind them are very useful. Thank you.
Wow! This is amazing! Thanks!
Love it. Thanks for sharing.

Would love to see more, even on smaller scale projects.
I like the height that the new berm has. Give nice punchy statement.
I do too. It fits the space well. The area needs to recover from the construction and then it should look great
This video is loaded with ideas. Thank you
Made me laugh (talking about carex) “you can take a weed wacker, hedge shears, a golf club to it” 😂😂 really enjoyed this video

Dude is about to need elastic installed on his t-shirt sleeves throwing all these boulders. Getting yoked.

Something I know so little about and want to understand, so I'm very grateful for this video and Jeremy's thought process.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

That Baptisia needs to be out in the world. It makes no sense to not make it less rare
I would also love to have a Baptisia Arachnifera.
I love it ❣️How much does it cost for a cupholder build like this ? Those stone are pricey.
Unfortunately, the diesel fuel cost more than the stones now
Great video! By the way, I have a hard time finding Permatill in Midwest locally. Online also hard to find. Any suggestion to use something else? We have a lot of clay soil here in Midwest, Iowa (Zone5)
If you want a truly well drained garden in clay soil, consider 75-90% small gravel #7 or smaller
I had a large loquat tree in my yard when I lived in San Diego. The fruit is delicious!
🌱 ~Loved this! Please keep us updated on the progress of this beautiful stonework! 🪴
Interesting! I like this series of videos. Has given me ideas to incorporate on our small lot.
Very interesting video, about creating rock/boulder beds. I utilize rocks a number of places in my yard. I have also accumulated a 40 year-old rock pile, from those I have retrieved on my property over the years.
