4 years later this is still relevant for me. Just found and it is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you.
Great to hear Mbali and I still love how these look in my front yard. Thanks for watching and hope you subscribed.
“Nice and straight, just like me”. Well you sure fooled the hell out of me.
LOL! You aren't the first DW. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the video.
I don't know, who sits criss cross apple sauce ....
Looks good, but you forgot the plastic barrier on the grass side to separate the gravel from the lawn. Otherwise the gravel will eventually get into your grass and it will be a nightmare when mowing.
I love this idea, especially adding the rock! It just goes to show how simple landscaping can look amazing… 🙂
I should have watched your video two years ago … I’m staring over again! Thanks!!
Thanks for your video diy how to plant boxwood. We did our walk way like yours and came out sooo nice! We now love our walk way & getting compliments from neighbors. More power to you.👏🏼

@@BYOTools Just one quick question. I want to make a close knit hedge with mine. Whats the distance of seperation between each boxwood to give it that compact uniform curve appeal?
it's soooo easy !
love it
Thks
Excellent explanation!
Great to hear Pedorosa. Thanks so much for watching and hope you subscribed :)
BYOT
You’re welcome, I sure did!
What's the spacing for larger boxwoods?
Great video! I want to do something similar in my backyard. Does the rock affect how the shrubs grow at all?
No the brick won't effect the boxwoods because these plants are designed to stay small. Just make sure you get the dwarf boxwoods. Thanks for watching.
Hey, do you have an update on how they look? Thanks :-)
Glad I found this channel. You have great content, helpful practical projects that I could actually achieve and you are easy on the eyes. What more could I ask for :)
Haha thanks for watching :)
Just an opinion, it would be nice if you would of install some metal landscape border to keep the rocks within the flower bed, it will also help the grass to stay away and also it will not break off when you go around with the weed eater bc it’s metal.. great Job 👏
Great suggestion Jose and thanks so much for watching. I was considering that but I was planing on installing turf, which i finally did. Check out my newest video and let me know what you think: ua-cam.com/video/zAQvAUc-dLU/v-deo.html
Pls Make a Update about this!!!!
Nice job. Nice video. Thank you. "Straight, just like me. HAHA" LOL
Haha! Glad you caught that one. Thanks for watching.
He’s definitely gay.
Great job . From where I go buy rocks the same way u get and is it Cheaper than bags or same price
Thanks for watching and your comment. Yes buying in bulk is way cheaper then buying bags.
Great video but I already have my weed fabric laid and mulch on top. Whats the best way to add plants and shrubs without tearing it all up?
I’m making a hedge do I have to use weed blocker? Also, trying to decide how far to plant my row of winter gems from the walkway...
You showed a really great way to put weed plastic over the plants.
Great to hear Terri and thank you for watching.
My box wood leaves are dying how do I save them.
Water them! Haha! But seriously are you giving them enough water? Thanks so much for watching and hope you enjoyed the video
Is there an update video ?
Moisture suckage. I am going to steal that.
Looks great next to the dead lawn.
Haha nice catch. Luckily in Seattle the grass lawn will always come back to life. Thanks for watching.
How close together to get the hedge look
Boxwood is the easiest plant to transplant. They are so tolerant of heat or cold climate.
That’s why I love them Mikey. Such low maintenance! Thanks for watching.
Can I leave the boxwood in the pot and plant all of it in the earth, will it grow
Follow up video? What do they look like now?
I want to do a hedge with buxus. What's the spacing between them in that case? Thank you and nice video by the way.
5' to 6' between each other. great to hear and thanks for watching.
@@BYOTools thank you!!
How far to dig into the soil to plant these?
4:24 humm mind boggling. Lol
LOVE the cutting tip. WHAT no edge? So the rocks won't go into the yard and get eaten by lawn mower and become a missle? LOL
Yo s0n I thought you where gonna stager them ? Looks like a straight line to me !?
Trusty
Two questions.How big are those rocks? And can i use ilex cretana for this project?
The rock are about 1" in diameter for the most part and yes i'm sure ilex cretana would be perfect in this application. I just don't know how big those get but you can always trim them as needed. Thanks for watching Mitch and hope you subscribed.
Awesome video and damn you're gorgeous!
Likeage added
Be constantly pruning with them planted so close to the walkway.
Remember these are small boxwoods. Had these things planted for years and I've never had to prune them haha. Thanks for watching.
BYOT gotcha must be different than the ones I have they’ve been growing like crazy. They try to take over my sidewalk every year.
Hi what kind and size are the stones that you used?
They called it 7/8" drainage rock where I picked it up. Thanks for watching Klassy and hope you enjoyed the video: skynursery.com/bulk-calculator/
Esta bueno este jardinero 😒
Gracias por ver Marilisa
The fabric will make the water run off, instead of soak down.
4:23 , interesting comment. 🤔🌈
Haha. Good catch Ben. Thanks for watching.
Ok son I see u. Shit is dope!!!!!!!!!!👸🏽👸🏽👸🏽👸🏽🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🤘🏾
Haha. Thanks for watching.
I add some OD Door Lights- Preferred are Low Volatage LED Lights or can go with Solar( but have to Replace the NiCad-Recahrgable AA Batterry every 2 yrs at ave of $5 each,( So do the math and compare vrs.Low Voltage..LV's are more Economical and lst 10 yrs or Longer! Sorlar> 5 yrs before the Solar panel ontop gets worn out.. Hire Electrictian if you have too Install an Outdoor Outlet to power it and a Indoor Timer that is Auto Ajustable to be on from Dusk to 11-1am.. Not All nite..( Min on till 10pm) Secuirity Lighting on all Nite or on Motion Sensors after 10 -11 pm ..
Can Place your Sidewalk Lights on a Motion sensor after 10 pm like I have mine and for most of my Clients homes..LED Lights are 90% Less pwr req'd.. = (-90%) less Elec. bill. adding 2- 7.5 LED (=75 watt ) Motion Sensor security Lamps to the All Sides of the House.. You get with 10 ft? They go On..and smile you Pic is taken several times..All Used to be Very Expensive and now, ave.? $100 -$300 Bucks for everything CAN ADD AN ALARM FOR $25 IF YOU LIKE..bUT i INSTALLED A lOUD aLARM THAT WAKES UP THE WHOLE nEIGHBORhOOD( nEIGHBORS AND ALL) AND IF THAT DOESN'T DRIVE A tHEIF AWAY? oNLY A gERMAN sHEPPARD OR HEARING A 12 gAUGE "LOCK & LOAD" WILL!
Update please!!
What type of update are you looking for Eneida? Plants are still looking great and haven’t grown much. Thanks for watching
BYOT thanks for the update!!! It would be so nice to see the area!! A visual person here and since i liked your work it would be nice to see how evolved!!!
Have a good day!
Please can you please give me the exact name for this Boxwood I want them small🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
They where called Drawf Boxwood for sure. There are a few sites that sell them online if you type in Drawf Boxwood but I've never used the site in the past. Hope that helps and thanks so much for watching. Hope you subscribed.
BYOT Thank you so much 😊 I really Appreciate your help
TRUSTY.
Thanks for watching Mi.
Can you make a pool in your backyard
Haha! That might be too tall of an ask since I recently renovated my back yard, but i'll keep it in mind :) Thanks for watching.
BYOT tanks of the content
what is the name of the tree?
Hi Can you please help me find this Kind of boxwood? I try to look for them on Home Depot they only have Japanese Boxwood. Does run really huge. Please can you give me the exact name Name I heard that you said{ Door Boxwood }Or is Drawf Boxwood please help
They where called Drawf Boxwood for sure. There are a few sites that sell them online if you type in Drawf Boxwood but I've never used the site in the past. Hope that helps and thanks so much for watching. Hope you subscribed.
How tall they are now?? Update please
In all honesty they are nearly the same exact size as what is in the video. They really don't grow much and all they need is a trim once a year. Thanks for watching Inas.
BYOT thank you for your reply, I want to make similar shrubs in my backyard but i want it to be up to 12 feet. Any recommendations what to plant? And how long does it take to be that height?
Measuring tape?!?1 come on man I dont got one of those what am I a carpenter
so..what's the update?
Sooooo what type of update would you like? They are all still alive and surprisingly they haven't grown very much thats for sure haha. Thanks for watching.
@@BYOTools youll get old before you see a hedge. You cant put the weedmat on top as the boxwood would just propagate and grow more. By placing the weedmat you are preventing it from getting bigger and wider.
Happy Cupcake thank for the input. Good to hear because I wanted them to stay close to the same size as when I planted them. Thanks for watching.
Why is my green beauty boxwood so skiny
I've randomly come across a few of your videos and the audio is always so low (especially intros) I cant hear even on full. Then next video I play is super loud and my girlfriend says, "turn it down".
i need to do 1200 feet
Ooooo Boy! You have a long day ahead of you Randall. Unless you want to plant one every 100 ft haha! Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the video.
Is this the same Box wood plants that we get here in the UK that smells like cats pee ?
HAHA! Nope. Apparently the US created a non smelly version of a Box Wood. Thanks for watching.
Too bad i cant design my house like that, my house is very very close to the road and many kids will just destroy them. :/
Kids will destroy your plants?!!! Dear goodness haha. Maybe put them in planters and position them away from the street as much as possible. Thanks for watching and hope you subscribed
@@BYOTools yep! Welcome to the Philippines.
How about the weed seeds that blows on top of the fabric? 😂
What weed seeds. I don't see any weed seeds...... haha. Thanks for watching.
BYOT lol
