Absolutely beautiful! Don’t cut your gorgeous trees either! You entire property looks like a dreamland! So inspiring! ❤
Oh Mary you did a great job . I’d leave all the trees their stunning . I’m gardening here 😅n my farmhouse here in Ireland . Your never finished ❤❤❤
Hello I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness prosperity, love ❤and peace all over the world🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Engineer Graham Bolt from Nashville Tennessee, where are you from?
I completely agree. I too love her property as well, I can sit outside all day everyday.
@@grahambolt657 Brother...
Mary you are so blessed to have a husband who’s willing to help you and allow you to change anything around your property. Looks wonderful
Leave the trees
Please don’t get rid of your trees. The front of your house is so beautiful and will block the wind, keep your house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Great job and your flower beds. You always inspire me so much!
Absolutely!
The re-done area looks fantastic...and I love John's stone pathway additions!
I think you could prune out a few tree branches (not entire trees) and thin out the shrubs and some of the plants on the right side of the walkway (near the steps) to open it up without losing privacy.
Always fun to be in the garden with you!
I think your trees add so much to the entry way, coolness, depth and structure. Lovely transformation.
Yes, keep the trees.
I agree with carolbird, I like the trees in front. I gives a peaceful look to your home. If you wanted to trim a few branches to give a peek in that would be the only change I would consider. I new garden and the changes you have made look wonderful.
I’m in zone 6a/b S.E. Michigan. I bought a eastern redbud tree from an estate sale six years ago and it is flourishing here. My research which I concluded brought me to the conclusion that Redbud trees do like some shade not full sun. It is thriving here and I even have seed pods from last year, which I winter sowed and now have 7 baby redbuds. Not sure on the next step, but I’m trying to mimic nature. I think it took about three years to maturity for the seed pods.
Beautiful transformation, Mary! Great choices in plantings! What can’t you do ??? Haha! You and John are some of the hardest workers I’ve ever seen! Your yard is a paradise! Thanks again for another excellently made video of your project!
I could not agree more! Beautiful transformation Mary!
Please keep this trees, just trim or change the big bush .
Yes they work very hard. It’s nice to see a married couple work together on projects.
The transformation is simply gorgeous! You might regret not keeping the trees. I would definitely keep them. They are quite beautiful and add to the overall charm of the setting.
If gardening was ever done, it would cease to be fun. It is our place to create...each day. It looks marvelous.dont lose the red leafed tree in front of the house. You and the birds would miss it. I would shorten the shrub in front of the red leaf tree to open that area up. Clean up and maintenance and change up in the garden brings the same satisfaction cleaning house and rearranging furniture and adding a bouquet in house brings. There would be no bored housewives if they kept their homes for their families like you do. Always enjoyable. Thank you. I am on break from yard cleanup watching you do same. Lol.
I love your trees. Perhaps you can have an arborist visit and thin them out a bit so you can see through them a bit from the entrance to your property. Also I think that large bush to the right of the sidewalk could be removed and that would really give you more visual of the house, keep the lower growing perennials and dwarf bushes. Have a wonderful day. 🇨🇦
Mary, it turned out absolutely beautiful. You and John work so well together, just love watching you two making your home your happy place.
I think I'd keep the trees. The back seems pretty open, so keep the trees. Have a blessed week, and thank you for making us part of your world, precious lady. Be blessed
So pretty! We have lived in our home for 43 years and it is ever evolving!
I couldn’t believe when you were unloading your truck how many plants and trees you were able to transport! Your new garden looks terrific, more professionally designed now. Awesome job. Loved watching you and John working together. What a great team you make.
The walkway John put in is wonderful & I love the black leaf covering you laid on top. All of your plant choices are just beautiful!
Love the Tree House look. It hurts my heart to think of the trees being cut down. Nature is needed in our lives. It turned out so beautiful. Thanks for taking us along. Cathleen
Everything looks beautiful Mary! Having the trees by your windows and watching the birds is priceless! I wouldn't change a thing💕. Your garden turned out great and the mulch is like the icing on the cake! I love watching you and John work together😍. You two are a perfect example of love to your kids and to us..thank you for that! I look forward to your next video and God bless you and your beautiful family!❤
Oh what a beautiful difference! Everything looks so refreshed and blends so wonderfully with the rest of the natural surroundings. We all have a certain idea of how things can be better and you and John made that happen.
Mary, I had to laugh during the unloading of all the plants you brought home. It looked like a clown car when not one but TWO trees came out! You and John did a wonderful job. It looks so pretty!
Love love love it. Love the walkway John made. Love how “neat” it looks now.
Keep the trees - no question about it!! Your new beds look very smart!! Great choices, great work!
I am always amazed at how you can work in your flip-flops! I'd trip, break an ankle or crush a toe! Love your channel! Keep posting. Thanx
Well Mary I had to laugh you asked us about the trees in front of your house and then bought and planted more. Everything looks so much better. Please leave your trees maybe trim them a little but don't take them out. You and John have done an amazing job. Thank you for sharing can't wait to see what else you do around your home. Happy 4th to you and everyone watching 🇺🇲🤗🇺🇸💓💕💞
I would just trim some of the bushes.
That was my thought also. I would trim the one large bush on the right. Then see how it looks.
It looks fabulous & each year it will keep looking new & improved. Thank you for sharing with us.
Agree. I would try pruning the bushes and limbing up your trees and see how you like that.
A croquet yard game would be so fun to play in that flat area you were mowing! 😊
I believe our homes are meant for us. If you like the trees, keep them because you like them. Bring things that make you happy.
Gorgeous! What a lovely improvement. Love the black mulch because it really makes the plants and bushes pop❤️
I would trim the large green round bush in the garden on the right. Trim it way back, then if you still don’t like the area you can remove it. I love your new garden setup.
Hello Mary, my husband and I manage a Nursery, we do many designs every year here in Northern Virginia, do not remove the bushes and trees in front of the house, limb up the red maple a bit and trim the large bush 50%. With your surroundings your beds are properly appointed, enjoy your projects😊
Mary the garden looks great you did an amazing job I like the new look
You remind me so much of my self I love gardening and doing crafts when my husband passed away it was my gardening that got me through the pain of losing the only love in my life he’s been gone 21 years and I do still miss him so much I even dug a pond 4 feet deep and dedicated to him with a water falls and fish
Unfortunately I had to sell our home that we shared with my beautiful gardens in January of this year dew to my health and moved into an apartment I’m only 62 and I’m having a hard time adjusting to apartments living
I thank God the day I came across your channel you have made my days more bearable watching you with everything you do
Thank you for sharing ❤😊
Absolutely beautiful transformation! Love the selection of plants & trees that you chose to add to your landscape. I would leave the beautiful trees in front of your house. I enjoy watching you and John working together on projects. One thing that you said resonated with me… a gardener’s job is never done!

Just so pretty Mary. We all get tired of our flower beds and like to spruce them up. Just beautiful. 🦋
Less is more! looks great!

we all should be so lucky to have our houses nestled in between beautiful trees! I think your house and yard look amazing with them!
You and John are amazing together-love it when you work on something together. He could give "how to husband" lessons online and make a fortune! LoL. When you added the black bark/leaf mulch Mary, I said "WOW!" outloud at my desk as I ate my lunch. It made everything in the flowerbed just pop against the black background! Great video-thank you.
This looks so beautiful!! You truly have an eye for design! Thank you for sharing the plant names as well. You are THE best UA-camr!
Yes! My favorite too!
Mary, I LOVE IT!!!! I love all your trees by the house ,It's beautiful to look at. You own acreage, so it's more private and is perfect. If you were in a subdivision, it would need trimmed back, but not in the country, it just adds charm. Glad you gave us a peek at the veg garden, was wondering how that was going. I love that you have room to dig things up and transplant to another area. Looks great!!! You so inspire me!!!!
Absolutely loved what you did. The path you husband made is looking so good there. I strongly recommend keeping your trees. I wish I had an entrance like yours. These, and trash to treasure are my favorite videos. Thank you.

You have inspired me to tackle my front "rock bed" and redo plants. I am 70 so I don't have your energy anymore but I loved what you did.
I personally love all the trees. I know you can''t see your house at this season, but think of all the months when the leaves are down that you can, and the bare trees give you lots of texture at least, to look at.

Maybe just trim the trees a little bit, but don't get rid of everything.
Turned out beautifully. It really is the fun part of gardening to move things around and change things up. The red bud tree is a perfect addition.
Is this all in one day, Mary?? Clearing the area, removing the stones, going to get your plants and Tree, and then planting....you must have been very motivated!!!! It looks marvelous,!!! ❤😊
Wow Mary, what a difference! You did a great job designing that flower bed😊

I love your trees:) It's wonderful to see birds and hear them too!
I would trim back some of the bushes so the front of your beautiful home can be seen. Your landscape looks amazing. Everything feels so peaceful.
Low maintenance is wonderful. The scraggly sedum ground cover is gone! Hoorah! Looks restful now as you walk the path. The trees? I would keep them!
It's always so fun to redo areas that you realize you don't love. I love to change up and refresh different areas. It brings so much joy, pleasure, and fulfillment every time you look at it. Just beautiful, Mary. 🌸
I love your new beds, pathway, plants, and mulch! It looks very nice! And I think you made the right decision by redoing it! Good job!
So much prettier to plant like plants in drifts instead of dotting them around 😊
PPS I agree! Don't cut your trees down. You could limb them up a bit, but anything you do taking them away will make the birds wary of staying around your porch. They want the understory so they can quickly hide if predators are around (as I'm sure you know). The new bed turned out beautiful and I love the little stone walkway you and your husband created!
Hi Mary and John! You guys did an awesome job on the garden! Just beautiful! I agree with others that I would leave the trees in front of the house. I love when you said that you get the feeling of living in the woods. I would love that feeling. And the birds song......lovely sounds of Gods nature. Can't beat that feeling. ❤

The new garden area looks great! The tree coverage at the front of the house is lovely and it looks like a clearly defined path to the front door. Maybe a bit of thining but I love the trees too.

I like the privacy that trees give.
Keep the trees! I have lots of trees, and couldn't be happier. If they bring you joy, keep them.
I'd keep the trees in front of your house. They are beautiful.
Absolutely Beautiful!! You and John are such hard workers! May God continue to bless you both! Thanks for sharing!

The new garden bed is in much more keeping of the rest of your landscape. I love it and am so impressed by your efforts. That was a big job. The mulch was a great final touch. Looks great!

I really admire how hard working you and your husband are. It is so nice to see how your husband jumps on to help you. Very inspiring to see a married couple work side by side. Your garden looks beautiful. And please dont cut your trees back. I love them!

The front entry looks wonderful, Mary! So fresh and clean, and the black mulch sets it off well.
The other area looks perfect as is and provides cover for the birds.
Mary, I love the new look in the garden. You and JOHN are so talented and energetic. ❤
It's so fun to relax in the evening with some needle art while I watch you creating new and lovely spaces.
"Doo bisht en fliesich frau!"😂
Mary everything is so lovely! You and John are the hardest workers I know! Please don't remove any of your trees, as you said they attract the birds and who doesn't love seeing and hearing them sing! Even Kitty approves of it all! Lol
Love it. The stone path is wonderful!
I think the new space looks amazing. I would keep the trees on the right side of the walkway but maybe remove the bushes and other plants. Other plants like Heuchera, Hosta, sedum and some ground cover plants would look really nice under the trees. This is just a thought I had. It looks so pretty the way it is now.
I love the trees in front of the house! I’m so glad you planted a Redbud on the other side. The path John made is great. I love how it all turned out.

Mary, it’s beautiful! You are one hard working woman 😊
Beautiful transformation! The trees, bushes and stepping stones bring a sense of calm and order to the garden.
Simplify with trees and shrubs is almost always a great idea! It looks beautiful and will be so much easier to maintain!!
I would definitely keep the trees. The house is beautiful and the trees provide such a peaceful sanctuary.
The mulch really finishes the bed. Looks great. Don't cut your trees, maybe a bit of a trim? What a blessing to have a cooperative and talented husband to help improve the property.
Everything looks beautiful - the new plants & the clean lines that just neaten up things! Fantastic work by both of you.
Beautiful job! So clean and tidy. I like ground cover plants but to me it always looks messy and needing something else. While this will take some trimming along the way, it looks so much more planned out and soothing to the eye. IMO🌲🌱🌳🌺
Oh my goodness Mary it looks so pretty, I know it will definitely make you happy to see that every day! My favorite is that little blue spruce! We can’t grow them here in Texas -too hot! Thank you to John once again for his help. Take care.

Good morning Mary! Great transformation of this plant bed! Love the Eastern Redbud (I have those in my yard here in NC) and removing the ground cover really gives a fresh look to what you’ve done! In regards to your early on question about the trees on other side of the sidewalk, I think giving them a good pruning and shaping them up would help to give you a clearer vision as to what you need to do…keep or delete. Hope this helps! 💕
Mary, I love what you did! It looks so open and lovely and everything has room to spread out. I'm hoping your tree is fine and manages to thrive through the winter. Fabulous job, Mary. Can't wait to see your garden grow, Mary! 🙂

KEEP THE TREES - THEY ARE MAGNIFICENT!!!
Every time I cut a tree down I regret it, it takes a long time to replace the look & the shade. I’ve learned recently just how important our trees are to our climate. Please enjoy what you have there. It’s beautiful & appreciated & useful.
My dad planted a redbud tree for my mom one year for their anniversary since the leaves are heart-shaped. We’re in SW Ohio and its done well so far. Also, I watched a video last year on “over wintering” geraniums. I’m going to try doing that this year.
I live in VT. I put my geraniums in a south window and sometimes they blossom a bit in the winter. Back outdoors in late spring and they flourish !
I love how you and your husband decorate your front yard, It looks like the Botonial Gardens. BEAUTIFUL ❤️😍.
Really love your transformation and the planting you chose. Trees are so pretty especially looking out from inside. I probably wouldn't want limbs too close to deck because of snakes that could fall from them. Love those eastern red buds, the heart shaped leaves are just as nice as the blooms in the Springtime, and they are hardy trees. Your home and gardens are so pretty. I like the shrubs in landscape such as you have

KEEP YOUR TREES…edit the huge bushes…enjoy your videos…you have an eye for landscaping…glad you shared.
I look at all this just to dream. It shows your gardners installing plants etc. I'm 74 and do all I can in my yard but I cannot afford any of this. So beautiful tho and I'm very happy for you.
Impressive! Not only was the wheelbarrow FULL but you took it a long distance downhill! 😉❤️
I absolutely thought that space needed a tree. You were right it needed height.😊
Mary that turned out just so beautiful! I would not cut down any trees leading up to your home, they make it so charming and I can only imagine the view from the inside, oh my that would be a wonderful home to love in. Ever since I found your channel I have told my husband if I could pick anywhere to live it would be in your home and I really mean that. I love that it is private, full of charm and having the ability to have a large garden must be just a great environment to live in. Anymore this country is becoming a concrete nation with all the buildings going up so your trees deserve to live 😁
Turned out so pretty! I get like that too. One day you like it and then it’s just undesirable as heck. Gardens are never complete!
Your garden makeover looks great!! It should grow in very well in the years ahead. If I want to add color to an area, I just add pots filled with annual color. Throwing mulch is hard work but the results are worth it. Well done, John and Mary!
We’re learning how important it is to prune back our bushes. My husband has wanted to build a privacy fence for years; I suggested a living fence and did it in one year. Problem: we pulled our deck swing into/over the end of the deck so that we’d have room to work and I planted Rose of Sharon saplings too close to the deck. Now we need to trim back the bushes bc they’re growing into the swing area; we even had a bloom come inside the back portion of the swing between the slats! 😆.
I hope your redbud tree survives your cold winters, as well. Hopefully, since it is closer to your home, it will have a little protection from the elements. I'm in the deep south so the redbuds grow all out in the woods. They are beautiful in early spring. Your yard is this gardeners dream. You two have given me the kickstart this morning to get outside and mow! It is all lovely!!!!❤❤
Wow, Mary, it’s beautiful and having muscle man to do that part is priceless. Tell him I said so
Nope, not a fan of getting rid of trees. I love the feeling of being tucked in amongst them. Gardening is never ending, but so rewarding!
And all done wearing your flip flops! Gosh just love you Mary😂
I'm sure you could make a cute little sign for one of your beds that said "front door" with an arrow if your worried about people being confused when they approach your home. It's beautiful, I would have a hard time taking the trees down too. Love your channel!
I won hundred percent can relate to your gardening thought process. I lived in my home for just over 30 years and expand my garden and redo things. My grandfather used to work for the Brooklyn botanic gardens. He taught me that fragile trees like your redbud should be planted on the side of the house that blocks the wind. I don’t know if that’s all new trees or just difficult trees. Food for thought I suppose. Garden looks great!
I think you did great. A change will always make you feel better, as well as making the place look nice. You and your husband really work together good. 😊
Jeepers you must’ve slept like a log after hauling all those rocks! With regards to your tree question, if the outlook from the windows in your house is something you love to see then leave them, if you want your view to be further reaching, prune them. The garden bed looks fantastic! Good job. I have hollyhocks in my garden every summer, they give height and gorgeous flowers for the bees, they draw the attention of neighbours every year, they’re so beautiful.
The blue spruce and red bud are some of my favorite pairing for a garden. It all looks beautiful.
Boy, that front yard has much potential!
It's your home...Do whatever makes YOU ALL happy not anyone else! ☺ I have redbuds galore that came with our home, but I adore blue spruce and struggle to make any survive here...great job to both you and John! I have 2 boys and I so wish they helped and showed interest in yard work... Good for the soul!
Trees take years to grow, and give you so much pleasure. Birds in the spring, shade in the summer, color in the autumn, and structure to your yard in the winter. I think you would miss them so much if they were gone. Have you thought about decorative grasses in your flower gardens? Thanks cor sharing with us.😊
It looks great!! I love all the ‘green’ you have around your house. Living in Southern California, we’re often in a drought, so having a green garden is nearly impossible or it comes with water restrictions. You’ve made your home beautiful. So glad I found your channel.
Perfect. I too love Red Bud Trees, we had to cut ours down as it was becoming hollow. Folks around here say they don't like them because they spread, but they are the first ones to bloom in spring, so pretty and gives hope that spring is coming. Our Red Bud was hollow to the base of the trunk, so filled it with dirt and planted Geraniums inside the hollow with a trailing vine.
