You've just got to smile on Day 16 - when the neighbor plants a solitary tree in the top RH corner of their garden. Obviously they were inspired by the work going on next door. 😃
Looks great and rewarding for your team’s hard work. It would be nice to see it when the plants have established themselves and softened the hard landscaping.
wood can rot overtime. It's likely treated with some coating which helps it last longer. Overtime damages can be replaced easily. It's main purpose is to keep the beds in shape, and choosing wood specifically is probably to do with aestetics, material wise
Even with pressure treated wood, it's advised to avoid contact with soil and to use some form of lining as a barrier to guard against rot and increase longevity. The retaining walls aren't even the only issue. It looks as though some soil at the back has been built up directly against the fences which is fine if you're unphased at the prospect of having to replace a panel or two, but the neighbours may not appreciate it if the fence they own starts to rot as a result. Aesthetically it's nice to see someone thinking beyond the straight edged lawn and borders but that much grass makes it horrendously high maintenance. To keep the lawn neat and tidy during growing season you're looking at mowing it at least once a week and it'll need constant edging which is fiddly at the best of times, let alone with curved edges. Hopefully, someone will put some lawn edging in so it's not such a laborious task. That being said, some people find mowing the lawn calming so spending hours on it might be their idea of a relaxing afternoon. The bed on the left is so wide at the front as to make it impossible to maintain the plants without treading all over it. Not ideal when you end up putting muddy footprints all over your nice, new and very large patio which is already going to need pressure washing on a regular basis if it's to be kept in pristine condition. Needing steps to access the beds is also going to make life a little difficult. One thing I didn't realise when I put raised beds in is how much the soil level drops. Every year I have to top it up and lugging about bags of soil is strenuous enough on level ground, I wouldn't relish the thought of having to get it up steps as well. The design is a break from the norm and if someone wants to limit their gardening chores to mowing a large lawn once a week and frequently pressure washing a generous patio to keep it pristine (which will be impossible during a hosepipe ban) then I guess it's ideal. Seems a little high maintenance to me with added impracticalities. Also, needs trees.
I agree with basically everything you said. I wanted to add that I never noticed them incorporating any kind of irrigation and drainage system. With the backyard sloping downwards towards the house, all water runoff will be all over that patio and at their back door. Having poor or no irrigation and drainage system can ruin a garden.
Eyes aren’t what they should be, is the only way to access back garden thru the vegetable beds? Is the stand alone item in the round garden a shade? Beautiful!
I like the idea of having a patio area, grass area and garden areas. It looks nice and useful, being able to host gatherings with friends and also pursue gardening.
Beautifully landscaped yard. Not a boring rectangle yard of grass, but levels, curves, divisions. Flower areas and raised garden area is beautiful. Never would have dreamed it up, but I love it.
The upper section soil has been put down against the fence on both sides which will rot it in no time and all the wooden landscaping will rot over time too. Nice end look but not for me….
I really liked it.. im just curious about what will happen when it rains? Like when it really pours, wont all the water come down towards the house? Is there a solution for that? 🙂
The area looks much better now. Some trees or bigger flowers wouldn't be bad. The neighbor started with one tree. Now it's their turn 😂 Awesome video 💚🌿✌🏼
I hope I'm mistaken, but the entire land in this garden appears to be much lower than the surrounding land. I feared that heavy rain would turn the entire garden into a pond.
This project must've cost as much as my entire 40 acres! Looks nice, but I'd be willing to bet that soil is ultra-compacted now. 😬 I'd have made it a food forest!
I love the layers and curves but using wood planks for those barriers seems risky as direct burial will lead to rot. Not sure about the lifespan of this.
Great building work, but the design looks like a huge incoherent mess created by builders with no landscaping design talent. However, perhaps this is what the client wanted so I'm not going to prejudge.
The amount of work put into this garden is beyond imagination... How big was the budget? 5 to 8 people working for 30 days, plus the machines, plus the materials... I'd bet around 20-30 thousand dollars
Looks more like a golf course than a garden to me. Not saying they didn't do a beautiful job if that was what the homeowners wanted...they did. But to me a garden involves flowers, fruiting tree/bushes, vegetables even. Biodiversity is a garden to me. That is a monoculture with non-porous surfaces on half of it. This will take so much time, fertilizer and effort/money to keep pristine.
I thought so too. My neighbor cut down their beautiful redwood trees in their backyard. It’s now all concrete and fake grass. All artificial. Looks like a prison yard. I need trees and water features. More natural
Это газон настоящий, не искусственный. Вот только не увидел монтажа автоматического полива. Вроде и трубу они приносили на участок. Такую площадь вручную тяжело будет поливать.
Exactly……no trees and so much hardscaping and no tree shade. No natural organic layering of plants. Trees, shrubs , bushes, ground cover, vines. It was interesting the timelapse.
Turf rolled out in 1 line then start at the end you finished the previous line at , looks a lot better when completed and encourages grass to grow into each other therefore much thicker lawn
The result os very nice, although some trees would have been nice. But I was surprised by the unefficient way the yworked. A whole month for a relatively small yard like this! The number of times soil has been removed and brought back is countless. It must have cost a fortune.
You could have made much, much more of this lovely big space. Where are the trees? Where is the 'imaginative' planting and bold design? Where is the 'privacy' in the garden in a few years time? I also didn't see a thick damp-proof membrane being placed all along the bottom of all the fencing. If that isn't there....the bottom of the fence will 'rot' in a few years time - pressure treated or not. It probably cost the owners thousands of pounds.....but in my view it's a 'missed' opportunity.
The concrete it is footed in will hold it. Although I didn't notice a DPM going in behind it, perhaps I missed it but without one of those you are shortening the life of the wood by a few years. Having said that I installed sleepers in my garden 10 years ago with no DPM and they are still solid. Perhaps the owner is speccing the garden to last as long as they will?
@neilarmour4497 are you saying that they anchored it to a concrete footing or encased the wood in a concrete footing? Yeah I didn't see a membrane either but it's really hard to tell.
@@Jase-E looks to me like they encased the foot of the sleepers in concrete. That usually gives you 20ish years if done right for a 100x100 post when used as a fence post, so a sleeper which is considerable bulkier than that should last considerably longer. Although the bare soil right up against it will do it's best to reduce that number.
Now I know another reason why a house and an little garden in the back is selling for 1 and half million in Canada, i think you spent near an half an million dollars in time, labour, machinery, and supplies and price of gas and diesel in Canada is a fortune
I love it, but it needs ( at the very least) a tree in the back right hand side, and a smaller tree, like a blossom tree for example, in the centre garden on the left hand side to balance and add height. It looks incomplete as it is.
Dit is natuurlijk prachtig gedaan alleen jammer dat er niets met de beide schuttingen is gedaan. De schuttingen vallen een beetje in het niet bij de tuin. Maar nogmaals prachtig.
Sawn timber retaining walls. Where are the stacked rock walls? A garden has at least two criteria to pass astetic appeal and function and for me thus is a fail on both counts. Looks more like a council park.
All that trouble just to put in a lawn without (as far as I can see) any automatic watering or sprinkler system. And, just what we need, another waste of water.
I love how on Day 16, the neighbor plants a tiny tree right in the uppermost corner of their yard. It’s quite darling 😄
Yes, and they´re like 4 people for the job ^^
At least there’s one tree in that area.
More nature than in the maingarden 😂
That was cute to see! I hadn’t noticed until I read comments
They planted one more tree than this lot did.

I fell in love on Day 16, the neighbor plants a tiny tree right in the corner of their yard. It’s quite nice to have such neighbours 🥰
Looks great and rewarding for your team’s hard work. It would be nice to see it when the plants have established themselves and softened the hard landscaping.
I like the raised beds for vegetables. I appreciate the amount of planning that went into the design.
Interesting looking shapes, I don't really understand all the wood though, since it will just disintegrate over time.
wood can rot overtime. It's likely treated with some coating which helps it last longer. Overtime damages can be replaced easily. It's main purpose is to keep the beds in shape, and choosing wood specifically is probably to do with aestetics, material wise
I think it is stone
It's oak so should be good for 40 years or so...

That lawn is crying out for a lawn robot. There's no stress with cutting when you have one of those boys.

Day 16 is F'ing hilarious.....the neighbor feels bad about having NOTHING in his yard, so he comes out and plants 1 tree.....LOL
I know!!!! Lol!!!! And truly too close to the wall....it'll be over Their property in 10 yrs or less.....
Das der Nachbar während der Bautätigkeit nebenan einen Baum pflanzt fand ich doll, dolleroll , doll zauberhaf😅😅
Honestly 1 beautiful big oak tree is all you need in a peaceful space sometimes
@@impamiizgraajust have to wait 150 years.
@@rosenarielohsl2382Forellaisnt that what OP just wrote?
Incredible work!! All that's missing is a couple of nice trees for some shade and natural privacy
We don't have the same point of view about what is a garden
Nobody cares about your point of view.

Great work!! I'm missing a tree or something taller...
There are several trees. FYI they start out short and then grow tall.
Don’t worry, their neighbor has them covered 😊
Can we just appreciate how they got all this done in only 30 days!
Yes yes we appreciate
Big Team, looks rather expensive. A lot going on.
The upper section soil has been put down against the fence on both sides which will rot it in no time and all the wooden landscaping will rot over time too. Nice end look but not for me….
I really liked it.. im just curious about what will happen when it rains? Like when it really pours, wont all the water come down towards the house? Is there a solution for that? 🙂
What does this look like today? A lot of time and work for grass, concrete blocks, and some raised garden beds.
Where you have raised the ground level it will now rot the fence panels
The area looks much better now. Some trees or bigger flowers wouldn't be bad. The neighbor started with one tree. Now it's their turn 😂
Awesome video 💚🌿✌🏼
I hope I'm mistaken, but the entire land in this garden appears to be much lower than the surrounding land. I feared that heavy rain would turn the entire garden into a pond.
Very beautiful work.
Very beautiful. Great team work. I hope the owners have many many happy years to enjoy the outdoor space.
A great deal of effort to result in something like a carpark.
My thoughts exactly. You can tell there was no proper landscape design.
Pub beer garden look,it's all the rage on new build lego homes. 🤦♂️😄
Outstanding work and a great outcome. Mike 🇦🇺

You're making a real impact.
I absolutely enjoyed that. Very therapeutic. More!
I’m guessing around the 50/60K mark for this….. certainly not what I would have wanted!…. Each the their own I guess!!

Would love to see a progress pic now the plants have matured
This is so good, i needed this
What is the soundtrack? It fits the video nicely.
Not even a tree or anything tall in sight not for me I like a real garden
garden landscaping for instagram not for a real purpose
I thought the same. And too much slabbing. But I guess it is down to taste. Hope they are happy with it.

I enjoyed this video.! Very unique & different!
Pay no mind to the negs. Lovely design, easy to maintain, very appealing use of a really large space. Overall, very impressive.

Beautiful footage, I'm thrilled! Greetings from Germany 📸💜💜💜💜👍
Great music choice 😊
i wanted to write the exact same comment haha
Song, please?
Edit: 6 Hungarian Rhapsodies, S. 359 / R441: No. 2 in D Minor by Mátyás Antal & Hungarian State Symphony Orchestra
If I was the client I would include a few semi-mature trees. Lacks height without them.
Loved the construction of the garden, and the music was a delight. 😊

Turf is starting dry up as was poorly laid,no boards used to compact the turf to the soil removing any air pockets
I spent a month watching this to get a real time feel for the landscaping.
Stunning, ❤ love it
2:02 haha the guys taking a break in the wheelbarrows is funny and smart
My gazebo would look bomb in this backyard!
This is what's goodie certified 🤞😊
imagine the first heavy rain.
Beautiful work. I’d love to see it now, four years later.
It looks beautiful and clean! Great work!
Best off luck with the wood lasting about 3 years
what did you use for the retaining wall I like that
those are oak sleepers
And now an image of what it looks like after three years. That's at least how long it takes for a garden to really develope
hmmm did not see any footings of limestone base for retaining wall. no wall anchors as well. looks good but that's only temporary.
Sound track..is phenominal...❤
All that and no sprinkler system?
1x10 min video is great, but the results are disappointed and antiquated. who wants nowadays lawn tiles and floor sealing most of the lot?
What do you mean lawn tiles? Why does that matter? They’d grow in to form one lawn the same as any other method surely?
Is that a bad shape or a shape done badly? And the fencing remains wonky.
How is this retaining wall going to work. What stabilizes it and keeps the dirt from pushing it over?
The concrete it is footed in will hold it. Although I didn't notice a DPM going in behind it, perhaps I missed it but without one of those you are shortening the life of the wood by a few years. Having said that I installed sleepers in my garden 10 years ago with no DPM and they are still solid. Perhaps the owner is speccing the garden to last as long as they will?

@@neilarmour4497 Roger that! This makes sense.
Really interesting. I would have asked for a lot more trees at top of the garden. It needs height.
Exactly if you add trees you add height and it gives a garden volume, shade and birds. I do not understand why the choose no to add trees.
All this staff and any tree?😮
I’m so glad they put a little piece to close that little gap between the brick and blocks. I was staring at it until they closed it 😂😅
It looks pretty neat! Very cool. I just wonder how you go about mowing the lawn. That seems like a hard task.
What does something like that cost ?

Hi guys just amazing great 👍 work on you guys David 🇬🇧❤️👌👍
Why no trees?
Incredible!!! What is the name of the song?
Очень мило для деревца и немного кустов томата😊
Трудолюбие никому не повредит если учесть размер участка 😊 главное со вкусом 😊
The rotary washing line in the lawn cracks me up.
if it ain't broke... 😂
Environmental a disaster, gardens should be used much more wisely these days.

Beautiful. Need a few trees for shade.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!
Really feels artificial🫠
All these comments hate when it looks good it’s honestly annoying there’s no right way to do anything every ones has opinions
Imagine the maintenance. Especially at the fence directly to concrete area
Trees - higher fence?
the solitary tree was the only thing I could have afforded without taking a second (and third) mortgage.
Dit is natuurlijk prachtig gedaan alleen jammer dat er niets met de beide schuttingen is gedaan. De schuttingen vallen een beetje in het niet bij de tuin. Maar nogmaals prachtig.
Is their drainage.?
This was great . Beautiful project. I bet it cost a fortune 💰💰💰
Looks like a golf course
Amazing work! - I would have chosen different design though - guess its a personal preference :)
Its amazing what you can do when you have money
Tastes differ, but that you can turn such a large garden into such a monstrosity... boy, there is no fantasy in it at all
Yes , maybe some fruit-bearing trees and vegetable garden .
A job well done! Very professional.
Although...looks as though it's been designed on a computer.
Infinitely nicer than a a lawn.
Sawn timber retaining walls. Where are the stacked rock walls? A garden has at least two criteria to pass astetic appeal and function and for me thus is a fail on both counts. Looks more like a council park.
