- It's the flower show season and I have been away at the Malvern Flower Show and am about to be away for Chelsea. It means I've come home to see great progress from Craig and Justin who have been working hard on the landscaping in the garden. The drainage is sorted and the paving for the paths is going down. So exciting! Anyway, I've made them a coffee or two and while I am here I am getting creative on how to blend the new blocks with the old stone that we have saved and how that will further relate to the countryside beyond. It's a lot of fun and great to be able to lay out versions of what we can do on the ground rather than just having to draw up a plan. It's a work in progress, but great to see so much happening at home.
Joe the coffee bit took me completely out! "UNSPECIFIED". Splendid project and so exciting,
Great to hear how and why you are designing the garden as you are, and to listen to your evolving thought process.
Wow! so much progress since the last video. you're a funnyman and the guys are fantastic. loving seeing how it's going.
I have tried to describe this path process to so many people, paths can be works of art not just paths and it's lovely to watch craftsmen work.
This is a great garden journey. The mixture of materials is going to look amazing. 👋🏻
Fascinating to see the paths coming together. Shows how much work n effort goes into this. Can't wait to see the end result.
Oh Joe, how exciting, was thinking we must be due an update, and what an update! Those paths are going to look amazing🤩
Amazing project! Thanks for sharing 😊
Really interesting to see the process of planning the paving - its going to look amazing ❤
Proper job on that paving!👍
Very adroit observation re. how much easier it is to subtract from a path rather than to have to widen it later. Loving the realism of this vlog. Especially enjoying this week's content while recovering from the dreaded wisdom tooth extraction - a more painful from of excavation!
Brilliant !
So exciting 🥳🥳
Looking good Joe 😊
Massive progress Joe,must be pleased,the paving will look great,nice choice,don't forget to pack your chelsea Panama hat,it won't be the same without it👌🏼
Not pretentious at all! You are an artist! Completely and utterly stunning work and design ❤
Good progress on the paths and drainage. Love stone paths.
I like the herringbone, but each to their own. Let’s see how it looks when laid out. Hope the rain holds off during the paving process.
Really enjoying watching the hard landscaping design and build coming along. Wish they would feature more of this kind of stuff on Gardeners World, which seems to be mainly focussed on soft planting...
Love your vision of the garden,the process is so exciting to watch.

This iris so exciting-and interesting. Thank you, Joe for talking us along in this journey.
Oh I would’ve gone for herringbone. I think they are lovely way of bricklaying so different and it’ll draw your eyes towards the borders. Just think it’s a really good compliment to the garden.😊
Each to their own! Bit fussy for what I’m trying to do, bringing lots of element’s together..
I find this so exiting to see te garden and the path coming together We have a tea garden in Holland unfortenully we also have much rain 😢And strange strong wind ,just out of the blue😮All the pionies are coming out such a shame to see them hanging with all the water inside them Pfff wisch you good look see you the next time
The joy of knowing some quality crafts men to come and do a great job! See you at Chelsea next week
Proper coming together now Joe. Love the choice of stack bond and clean lines 👌 nice to see you recycling the stone too. Enjoy Chelsea and looking, forward to the next update. I think I might have been able to work 24 hrs solid with those espresso shots! 😂🌱💚👍
Love the time, effort, and thought going into your garden. I can imagine some of the ideas you'll bring back from Chelsea.
Great to see it all coming together, and I do look forward to seeing how the natural stone mixed with the straighter lines from the rectangular ones turn out. Many years ago, when my knees could still do the work, I designed and layed a path with limestone in a zig-zag pattern, going from big closest to the house and getting gradually smaller towards the side, then back to bigger again, with cobblestone around them. I loved that kind of work, but these days I´m just watching. :)
I am loving watching the progression of your garden. I had my MUCH smaller one partly paved, similarly to yours, last year, and I can still remember the excitement when the landscapers had finished and gone, just looking at the new big wide borders all ready to plan and fill. I feel excited for you!!
And that’s why you call in the pros. Looks so very lovely Joe.
It is so interesting to me that even you as an experienced designer are indecisive about your own garden. I found the same thing when I designed my own garden here in Italy, even though I had no problems designing for others. It is all coming together, a real English country garden, timeless design, you will be tweaking it forever, but that’s the fun of your own garden. Enjoy.
Always a busy time just before Chelsea especially just after Malvern but one of the best times for sure. Just hacked down a huge clump of nettles in my garden and pulled out some cheeky briars
Looking good Joe, can’t wait to see more progress.
Love your choice for the paving. Making a decision is usually the hardest part. Think it will look great with the combination of natural stone. I always enjoy your videos!
Thanks so much for doing this series. It's exciting to watch your progress, not least because I've got a brand-new garden in Minnesota (USA) that is undergoing the same development process. Very interesting to hear about the issues (drainage, etc.) that are coming up and watching how you handle them -- very useful. Please keep these coming!!!
You’re going to have a showcase of a garden one of these days! ❤️😊
You had such great chemistry with Arit at Malvern. A pleasure to watch.
.."you've been a real help" 😅😅
Looking good! I love hyper focused craftspeople.👌
Just read the article in 'Gardens Illustrated' about the garden and previous owner. Lucky you!
It will look great when it's finished,
I can’t wait to see what the path will look like
Joe you're right, it is exciting! 😍
Won’t know yourself with all that paving. I’m envious of your drains. Could do with those over here in my garden.
Perfect update! A neighbour gave us her flagstone from her patio (she was changing to concrete, IDK why?!?) and we are laying the stone currently. If it would stop raining. Can’t wait to see your finished area.
Finished result looks amazing in the following video. Can you clarify the layers. MOT1 or MOT3? Then instead of sand what did you use as a base to loosely lay the pavers? Looking to achieve a similar free draining seating area in our garden here. Thanks for showing the detail of the hard landscaping, so useful
Great progress Joe. Really exciting to see it coming together. What material are the pavers? Are they bought off the shelf or locally produced?
Clay paver, called gromo antica from london stone
Fascinating to hear about the process. Can’t wait to see how it shapes up. Have a wonderful time at Chelsea! 🌻🪴🌻
PG Tips OVERthinking it I’m sure it will look great whatever u decide 😎👍👍🤪🤪🤪😂😂
Looks fantastic are you leaving gaps within the paving for plants?
In places yes, and thanks
Thought you might 😊
If you served me up that fancy coffee I'd be walking off the job! Give em Tea, boiled in an old boot looking like gravy. That's the fuel we run on. 💪
Have you really got time for Chelsea, bring the camera's to yours. Looking different now.
