Awesome video. Thank you. Would you do a video about how to plant on an area with "death ray"? In California, it has drought and also heat. The houses tried to use energy saving windows, which reflect the sun (and burn and kill any plants in the path in front of the window).

Takes Time, money AND Energy,u can say that again🤤🙆I dont pay for my garden but It takes me 9hrs OF work AND sun some days,saludos from Cabos San Lucas
Loved your video; you give great ideas and make it do-able! Can you tell me what trees grow in the desert in Ca-around Palm Springs, that would be good to line a backyard brick wall & also next to a pool? I want to cover up the brick fence after the pool is finished; but the planting area is only a couple feet wide so they can't get too big or wide. Thank you!
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoy them. It’s a great question but not something I can answer without seeing the yard, space, etc. I’ll try and make a video in the future with more plant information.🤛🏻
Hi! I’m new to the channel. Beginner here. I have a small front yard, and I’m wanting to do a Texas wildflower/desert garden with rock accents. Im not sure what plants to choose or how to select the right plants/flowers to go together. Any tips or suggestions would be great. Im in southeast Texas.
Hey Gregory! So glad to have you!!! I’d love to help you!!! A few things you can do 1) google research…boring 2) Schedule a design consultation with me…YES!!! Here is a link: calendly.com/bobbykdesigns/consultation?month=2023-01
In California, of course like many places, water is precious and getting more expensive! But, We are NOT Arizona. Could you show drought tolerant landscaping with shrubs and flowers instead of spikey succulents and rocks?
Landscapers don't use food plants and food growers don't plant for beauty! I want both. For me, I want a drought-resistant food garden. I'm hoping to somehow weave grape vines, olive trees, citrus trees, pomegranate bushes, artichokes and cardoons, and lots of herbs for a sunny front yard. I'm on a small lot and I want to maximise food production AND beauty. I hate gravel (it is great for the first year and a royal pain to weed thereafter). I want to use DG granite and flagstone (native to Arizona and therefore relatively cheap). I'm in Zone 7b, up in the mountains, but I think I can adapt any suggestions you make. Thanks!
Aside from freeing up time by hiring a professional and avoiding the intense labor yourself, most importantly, it gets done right. Currently in the process of fixing my grand parents design mistakes on an inherited house. THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN!! Lol it’s fun but a lot of work
$10,000? Gees! If I can't do that for $600, forget it. I'm not a professional landscaper, but I'm 62, and I've been gardening since I was a teenager. I use cuttings all the time which cost nothing, but do take time to establish. I also choose where I put my gardens so that I can utilise any already established plants and tree. Also, I'll buy (if I have to) large plants that are selling cheap, just to fill in the garden while other plants are waiting to take off and grow, they might not be exactly what I want, but they will be temporary. I'll also over plant (if the plants are cheap) then I pull up what I don't want once the garden is established. I don't buy rocks, or bricks for borders because you can usually get these for nothing, somewhere. I'll use newspaper or cardboard rather than buy weed matting. There are many shortcuts, and many cheaper alternatives for gardening if you think creatively.
Real time. If you haven’t subbed, stick around. I have an awesome design course coming that is super affordable and you will absolutely love.👍🏼 thx for the comment
Nicolas! Glad to meet you! Thank you and you bet!! Make sure to sign up for my weekly email list in description of some of the newest videos. Got some really great stuff there, contests, and upcoming announcements.💪
Pro tip: native plants are generally hostile. And they're everywhere. Go with something different. There are lots of heat tolerant plants from other regions that aren't hostile to the "user." And "drought" tolerant is a very negative, pessimistic word. Try something like low water usage, xeriscape, desert environment. 👍
@Jason Bryant. Thank you so much for watching and I appreciate the feedback. I have taken note and will definitely make sure it's toned down in future videos!
I hear ya! Pulling of cool landscape ideas for the winter is a fun challenge I am up for! Pro tip: boulders, pond less water features, and for features ALWAYS look good in the winter months.🔥
Great video. I live in Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. There some amazing examples of beautiful landscaping out here. There is this one house with drought resistant landscaping. Man, it’s beautiful and well kept. You can tell the home owner takes great pride in their house. Whenever I become a homeowner, I am interested in drought resistant landscaping, but it doesn’t seem too welcoming for young families with children. There seems to be a lot of sharp pointy plants that would hurt if fell on.
I’m so glad that you found me! Thank you for the comment and yes drought resistant is very cool but a lot of the plants are prickly. There are also many option that our kids safe so in future drought resistant videos I will try and point some of those out for you.
I live in Downey and own a small home (single mother of 3 ). I stopped watering the front lawn almost 2 years ago because I want to create something as beautiful as this. I need help as to who to hire. I love this video!!
@@moni1404 Hi Moni. I provide landscaping services for the local area around downey actually. If you'd like to get some ideas going I would love to help.
Great video! I live in Utah where it's crazy hot! Due to the drought, we need to transition our grass yard into a combination dry scape/grass that has a privacy,mountain scene landscape theme!! (Evergreens, Blue spruce, grasses). Can you create a Mountain Scape video!!!
Hi Paulette. Hmmmm…a mountain scene landscape. I’m not sure what that really is but it sounds interesting! I’ve done landscapes where there are mountains in the background but to have the appearance of mountains on the property is something I’ve never thought to do. Is that what you’re going for?
@@BobbyKDesignsMy description definitely is a little confusing!! Creating a backyard that feels like being up in the mountains next to a fire pit and surrounded by evergreens/ large rocks etc. Cozy feeling mountain retreat. No worries if this is still crazy confusing. We can see the mountains out of our backyard so it's a great settings.
I live in La Verne which is 40-miles outside of Los Angeles, zone-9? I have 500-sqft lawn which I like to turn into drought tolerant landscaping. I like to do this project without hiring a landscaper what do you think? Any ideas for me?
Definitely a possibility BUT set yourself up for success. Whether it is me or someone else, get a landscape design. It will save you so much time, frustration, and MONEY! You can join my waitlist if you’re interested. Thank you for watching!!! www.bobbykdesigns.com
Hello there. I am actually about 60 miles south of st louis in the town of farmington. My grandmother recently put me in charge of redoing her pool yard that is about a half acer or so itself. She currently has a privacy fence around the pool yard that I plan on putting a flower bed all the way around with rock closer to the fence and mulching out the rest about 3 to 4 feet. The yard is huge. I was wondering if you had any tips on how to decorate the space that I plant or what i could use to fill in the area without going overboard. Im on a budget but want something simple but elegant at the same time. This house was my great grandmother's and over the years, it hasn't been in the best shape and needs some tlc. Also drought resistant plants would be the best as my grandma isn't home much and I will be the one to go over to help with the up keep of it when I have some free time. If there is any advise you could give me, I would love to hear back from you. Thank you for your time.
Hi there! My mom’s family is from Festus so I know exactly where she lives. My advice is to go with some beautiful grasses as a backdrop and then sprinkle in some smaller evergreens or junipers for year round color and low maintenance. Deer proof as well. You can then jazz it up with some colorful perennials like astilbe which are also deer proof.❤️
I reside in St George Utah, high desert. For some reason, my HOA (sovereign nation) is determined to pay to remove every tree! In defense, this complex was built in 1989 so, perhaps the trees have lived out their lives?? :( I need knowledgeable help. That's where you come in. We are 26°F at 5 am, December; however, 5 mos/yr, its 100°F +..
Hmmmmm...I'm not sure their reasoning. I would start with that and then see if that makes sense. People removing trees just to remove trees seems silly, right? Thank you for watching!
@B King I was in the field for almost 15 years so my experience as an installer is a huge advantage vs. those who just learn design software. I would say running some projects with other companies to learn how this are installed properly is a great starting point.
Hello I love this video. I live in Riverside California. The city of Riverside give us a free tree yearly. I have planted fig, 5 citrus, guava, and a plum. I only plant along the fence. I ha a patch of grass in the center. I would like to remove the grass and have a drought resistant landscape. How can i integrate this tree to a landscape like the one that you have in your design.
I’m so glad you like the videos. You absolutely can integrate the tree in the design. I would select an area that you could have mulch so that it keeps the moisture in. Pretty hot in California so the more moisture you have the better.
I'm from South texas, and l do landscaping for a living. The aloes and yuccas and agaves are expensive. The reason is that these are slow growing plants. It will take you a good 6 yrs to get a plant of considerable size. The soil here in texas varies; you can hard pan you can have kaliche , both that are very hard to dig in. I can imagine it would be more difficult in places like California or Arizona, which l would guess is mainly rock. If you do not live in a dry climate, you would most definitely need to do your beds in mounds. Succulent plants like yuccas and agaves would rot.
Hi Juan! I definitely think these are great points and I would always highly recommend packing your plants in new soil so that they have lots of nutrients and have a great start. Thank you for watching and thank you for the comment!

how about drought tolerant ideas for plus shade from big trees, sandy soil and sloping yard
No problem. When I get a design client with this needs I will definitely make a video about it.👍🏼

we need a simulation for when the rain does come. i think that would help visualize pooling and the use for slope designs.
Sounds promising!
Pro tip: native plants are generally hostile. And they're everywhere.

3. CREATE SOME BEDS. ADD VARIETY
4. TOTAL COST
