Laura, you can never, ever, leave this house. I just hope I'm around in 30 years to see what the garden you have designed and built looks like. I can almost imagine it. It's special now but its going to be unbelievable in the years to come when everything grows and develops. So inspiring, thank you.
I love watching Laura’s videos , but she is such an engaging person and her videos are so full of info that I think I would watch them forever. I cannot even grow a garden anymore as I live full time in an RV, BUT HER VIDEOS KEEP ME ENGAGED IN THAT WORLD. I enjoy her videos every day. Her personality (and her mothers) are infectious. How wonderful to have found her Chanel.
@@cherylh1159 ill be 71 and im looking forward to seeing this garden as an old lady 😅 Its on my bucket list. There is no age limit in gardening, Right? 🤷🏼♀️😉
I agree, Cheryl. Personal note 🎶 I like the smaller stones, even if in the middle of walkway. Gives the eye a rest from big ones. However, whatever U 2 decide will be best! But, of course. 😊
How in the WORLD were you able to make that stone walkway look like it was dropped down from Heaven?!! Beautiful curves, beautiful edges….ahhh. The progress on the hardscapes is so satisfying to me, you’d think it was in my own garden!! Question- have you considered doing before and after videos? I’ve been watching for years and think it would be fun to show clips from previous years’ tours followed by update clips of the same areas. Both eye level and drone views! Thank you all for the miles of smiles every morning during coffee time! 💚💚💚👩🏻🌾
Wouldn't go with black. Because you won't be able to sit on them. Your abundant sunshine will heat them up. Even in our low sunshine times in the coastal northeast with much late afternoon and nights summer fog black furniture make it too hot to use.
Seeing your visions for the different areas of your property is so exciting. I know you mentioned it many times, but to actually see it makes so much more sense to me. I'm loving it!
I'm loving it! Real stone as walls and pathways versus the cement blocks and pavers... there's just no comparison. The Hartley area is really taking shape to where your vision is becoming apparent to those of us not inside your head... never having a formal garden anywhere in all my years of gardening I'm excited to see how you marry the two styles together. Great job.
This walkway is stunning!! And the Hartley, dreamy. Can you imagine as this garden matures the photos you can take of your children here? Proms, Weddings, Family photos! An absolutely beautiful space your creating 💕 my vote is for weathered teak benches.
I’ve done small stone walkways and I am really impressed that you and Aaron are doing that huge one yourselves! It looks great ! Lots of patience required. That curve is soooo even.
That curved edge on the stone pathway is crazy perfect! So excited to see what continues to evolve around the Hartley! AND, that view behind you in your final shot was glorious with all the fall color popping !! Just beautiful Laura! Nice progress Aaron & Laura! (& Benny too!!!). 😊♥️ yay!!!! 😃
Looks amazing! Love, love, love the walkway and the beds around the Hartley - oh my word! If you guys ever run out of projects, I offer my yard to you! 😂You guys are amazing. I am SO behind on you and Jenny's videos - which is driving me crazy - but I know this winter when I'm hibernating I'll have some amazing content to watch to help me forget about winter 🥰 PS I love black benches especially with all of the white structures on your property.
Has anyone else added 'buttoned up' and 'a swoop of' to their gardening vocab? While I'm in the garden I plant a 'swoop of' this and a 'swoop of' that and feel so happy to 'button up' various projects... thanks Laura for getting into my head and my vocab! 🤣
It’s looking so good! I’ve laid flag stone with my mom, it really is like a big puzzle. We had fun making a path and a campfire area with the stone. We were lucky that a farm house on our land collapsed and had fieldstone and flag stone everywhere.
I’m such a visual person as well, that it wasn’t until you went inside the Hartley looking outward that I actually had that aha moment. Having a clean straight brick outline sure makes for a clear define boundary area. Once the landscape is in place its going to be so beautiful. Also, all the Fall color peeking throughout the surrounding areas around you - especially, towards the end of the video was really pretty. 💛🍂🧡🍁🤎
I can't believe she says, "We don't know what we are doing." The walkway is professional and it works for your climate. It's beautiful and the Hartley progress update lifts my spirts. It's wonderful to have so much to look forward to.
STUNNING! This was so satisfying to watch seeing the build of the pathway! Can’t wait to see the big trees in situ. Your gifts and talents just amazes me, Laura! 😍
So envious of your weather. We've had nothing but rain for the last few weeks in the Highlands of Scotland.... I can't get my grass cut, or my bulbs planted...praying for a dry spell to get it all done before our first frost lol. Path is Looking fab. Such a transformation of that area xx
I'm in Highlands too and it's been dire, hasn't it!? Those last strong winds we had took down my smoke bush 😢 it was 12-13' tall and I'd staked it because of last year's wind damage. Damn wind came opposite way this time and took it clean out 🤦🏻♀️fingers crossed we can get bulbs in soon!
@@lesleysmith1396 oh no thats so sad , I bet it was beautiful too. ... yea we had a tree down last year, and it was a great wind break, miss it not being there now as the wind tears through the back ... gotta love Caithness weather. I'm sure this week is supposed to be drier... fingers crossed we get our bulbs in the ground and that we don't have crazy wind anytime soon. Planted bare roots today in-between showers...at least the sun was out lol. Xx
It's great that you showed us the stone walkway and explained how you would fill the gaps with compost. You might have to put off installing more until the big trees are delivered and planted. I realized that I am more visual than I thought when you showed the Hartley beds. Thanks.
That pathway does add an amazing definition to that area. One more beautiful layer. You and Aaron have put so much thoughtfulness into the Hartley...it will be an amazing space!
As always very inspiring. I have created three seating areas on my property. And I sit back and while I drink my tea I ponder my decisions if it I like it stays and if I don't I know the end of the world won't happen if I make changes same with my plants. I finally am able to part with ideas that don't quite work. Thanks again Laura and Aaron for coming into our lives.
That walkway looks so good! Can't wait to see how it ends up looking when you're finished with it. It's hard to believe you could top that in one video but then you just walk over to the Hartley and surrounding garden and well, you've topped it. It's all so beautiful- congrats on creating such a wonderful space for you and your family to enjoy.
Laura, Jack (from that beautiful Is.) would be (like we are) proud of you. How many acres do you have ? You both have fabulous plans& are an inspiration to us all. Love from Australia.
Good morning Laura, Aaron and GA friends! So excited to see the title this morning “Stone pathway & Hartley landscape update!” You have such a beautiful talent and spirit Laura! You definitely inspire me to try things in my home, garden and cooking that I’d never thought about before…Thank U!💜
The arbor from the triangle garden would look so beautiful for the entrance of the stone path. As you continue to fill in that area with the plantings it would become a magical stroll through that garden area.
Thank you so much for sharing your garden. I am at the beginning of my journey and you seem to be doing everything that I am dreaming about 😊. I am taking up your method To build my own stone pathway. Thank you again Fiona Tasmania, Australia 🌿🌿🐝🐝👒🧤
I love your use of landscape fabric! It's an item that is often overused, or used in the wrong context but you nail it! And way to only use the good stuff. That makes a huge difference for sure.
I agree the edge on that pathway is impressive. Love the curve. Continually blown away by how much you have accomplished in that area. Your pure joy at watching things evolve, one plant or Heartly plus, is a delight. Blessings
OMG, that stone walkway...is INSANELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! So stunning, what an impact! Great choice to put a stone path in the flower bed. Cannot get over how this looks, just absolutely breathtaking. The Hartley area is looking stunning as well! Cannot get over how many hard scapes you have created this year and what an impact that has on your gardens, it will look amazing once you get your Boxwoods in.
Good morning, Laura ☕️ You’re getting a workout in for sure moving those stones. The pathway is coming along nicely. The Heartly 😍 area is going to be stunnnng! Will be such a beautiful space to disconnect and enjoy the quiet with gorgeous 360° views! So excited for you. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
It always makes me smile when Laura talks about benches to sit on and enjoy the scenery: if there is someone who is always on her toes it’s Laura! 😅 the path is lovely! That crisp edge is everything
I love the crispy fall mornings, the beauty of the changes of colors~ thanks to both of you for sharing your lives and the sweet beautiful children of yours ! 💗🙏🏻💗
A suggestion for benches in the Hartley garden area. To continue the English formal garden theme, you could look at Lutyens style wooden benches. Edwin Lutyens was a famous architect who designed many English country houses and usually partnered with Gertrude Jekyll for the garden designs. You can find Lutyens benches in his typical style, which would complement your English-made greenhouse beautifully!
For all of us that wanted to see large boulders in the landscape, this is a wonderfully picturesque substitute of beautiful hard scape 😁❣️Just gorgeous. You both have a good eye 👁👁for right pieces and overall shape. Blessings
This is so much fun and inspirational to see the bones/infrastructure being put in place! Love the brick beds and gravel pathways. It's going to look amazing!
A.MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.ZING! 😍 What an incredible job you, Aaron and your crew are doing! That stone pathway is EXACTLY what your garden needed. I can see a small gazebo in there somewhere too where you can have coffee and cocktails in the Summer without the pesky bugs. At the very end of the video when we can see your garden in the background behind you, I can clearly see your color vision for the garden. So Beautiful 🥰 Thank you so, so , so much for sharing ... I can watch your videos for hours!
I love the stone walkway. Yes, it is difficult to lay but it won't get easier next year or the year after that. I always think of your kids when I see you doing a project like this. In years to come, they will walk down that path and admire you both for all your hard work.
Good job on the walkway and absolute perfect application of landscape fabric under walkways. That's what that stuff's for! The design shapes around the Hartley are just fantastic. What a dream! I can't believe how getting rid of the fence around the formal garden unified that space with the rest of your property. It is just so... YOU. I can't wait to see these projects develop.
Stone laying is an art and you two are nailing it. I once hired a crew to lay a stone path and it resulted in a horrible pattern of huge slates separated by itty bitty stone crumbs. I ended up calling a second guy in to correct the pattern to make it more a artistic pattern of large med and small stones. The sharp edges border are also beautiful bi envy your energy. God has certainly blessed you.
❤️I think what amazes me most is that you say, “We are planning to do this”. And then you do. You share your dream.. and we get to see it. You and Aaron are painting a landscape in our heads. Only we actually see your vision. How exciting for us all. I love everything from your cats to your kids. And your family to your fields. Thank you!.. 💌
Just Sooooooo beautiful! Love the stone walkway! The Hartley! The Hartley! The area around the Hartley is the icying on the cake! I feel your excitement! It makes me so happy to see your dream, your vision, come to life! Thank you for sharing you love and passion of gardening and all things beautiful with us! You have changed my life🙏🏻 God Bless! Sherry Knoxville
My heart is set in "Stone"! I absolutely love the path. The Hartley area is just so, so beautiful and peaceful. I can't wait to see it full of all the trees, shrubs, flowers and all the love that you and Aaron and everyone have put into this home.
I saw the landscape fabric and went on high alert for information! Fairly soon, landscapers will be placing commercial grade landscape fabric around the privacy shrubs we recently planted. I used Captain Jack’s at the highest setting to kill weeds. It took a full bottle just to deal with 1/3 of the space inundated with weeds. Captain Jack’s was effective, however, after the 1st rain, and a total of only 9 days later, the weeds were back in full force. I have never seen anything like it! First, I wanted to cry, then I wanted a flame thrower to burn all of the weeds. Talk about disappointment and discouragement. I gave up and said yes to the landscape fabric suggested by the landscape designer. Like you, my choices would be spraying weeds every single week, sometimes with more harsher chemicals (which I don’t want to do) or just install the landscape fabric. I really appreciate how you respect the environment and try to use products less lethal to the environment, while making best practices decisions for your landscape. Everyone is walking in their own shoes and have to make choices based upon their individual situation while balancing the macro system environment . Thank you for being an example of that balance and for providing so much information I believe viewers value
Your use of the landscape fabric is perfect. I am sure your viewers have had similar experiences to me with landscape fabric in beds. But, your use of it is totally appropriate, and will eliminate huge problems in the future.
The way the mouth of the path flares is total class. Just loving the updates. Bench wise, wood degrades so fast. Even the teak, unless under shelter. Black metal would have the best life, though it would be too hot to sit on unless in a shade covered area. And the black would tie in beautifully with your black & white theme. It just has a more polished look.
Ooh, that expanse of green grass behind you is beautiful, the stone path and the area around the Hartley, the cleared out garden will look gorgeous. I am so looking forward to how it will all come together!
Oh gosh Laura, this is becoming so beautiful and I really love that rock pathway and around the Hartley is going to be gorgeous. I am just so excited to see all these areas as they grow and become so beautiful. You and Aaron have done such an amazing job and thanks so much for sharing another wonderful video that I had a lot of fun watching. I hope you have a good day, sending love and hugs, bye!! 😂😉🤗😻💚💚💜💜💜
This is just gorgeous. I love your mix of DIY and hiring professionals, keeps it so real for us home gardeners on a budget. ❤❤ been watching for years and seeing your Hartley come together has been living a dream through you. Thank you for sharing.
Laura & Arron, Your stone path is looking amazing, just continue to take your time. You both have a good eye for what looks good and pleasing to your eyes. My husband and I just went to the rock yard and loaded 300lbs. of Rustic Basalt 1-3" patio stone for a garden boarder that I am working on into the back of our little pathfinder and I was spent, that heavy lifting takes a toll on the body;/ Thanks for sharing, it gives us inspiration! Happy Gardening!
I have Hartley envy... along with the rest of your followers. The vista across the lawn in the background as you were wrapping up, with those autumn colours, had me sighing as well.
Everything is looking so good, Laura!! I absolutely love the stones that you're using for the pathway. The color is fabulous, and that sweeping curve is perfect. Well done 💚
"Aaron's planning", aka Foresight! Love it. So exciting to see the Hartley area come along and future plantings. And the stone walkway in the South garden is going to be great. Nice design! Take care of your backs!
We had a step stone path through one half of our waterfall/creek/pond garden area and this spring my husband laid a brick path that 'y's' off in two directions giving me 3 very distinctive garden bed areas. At that moment I realized I love boundaries!!! in my gardens. It has made all the difference this year. You're going to love what your pathway will offer as you go forward. I don't know if I would have ever made the change if not for watching your videos and being so inspired. Now the vision is more achievable. Thanks!
Everything is looking so beautiful Laura n Aaron the stone walkway and around the Hartley are coming along nicely. I'm loving watching your vision become a reality ☺️☺️☺️😍😍😍
I realized as I was watching this particular video that I have been watching you and Aaron since you moved into this property-5 years I think?! It’s amazing, and I can never truly express to you both what this channel and all your hard work, sharing your family, has meant to me! Thank You! 🌷
Has it been FIVE years? I started right before they bought the property. Almost every day for five years. No wonder I feel like I know this precious family. I have learned SO much! Every project inspires me!
Laura, you can never, ever, leave this house. I just hope I'm around in 30 years to see what the garden you have designed and built looks like. I can almost imagine it. It's special now but its going to be unbelievable in the years to come when everything grows and develops. So inspiring, thank you.
I'll be 93, but I'm excited to see it!
This place is going to be a landmark. They’re creating something so unique and special. It’s truly a treasure even now.
I will come all the way from Australia to see it!
I love watching Laura’s videos , but she is such an engaging person and her videos are so full of info that I think I would watch them forever. I cannot even grow a garden anymore as I live full time in an RV, BUT HER VIDEOS KEEP ME ENGAGED IN THAT WORLD. I enjoy her videos every day. Her personality (and her mothers) are infectious. How wonderful to have found her Chanel.
@@cherylh1159 ill be 71 and im looking forward to seeing this garden as an old lady 😅 Its on my bucket list. There is no age limit in gardening, Right? 🤷🏼♀️😉
Aaron and Laura the pathway looks beautiful! So excited to see the boxwoods go in around the Hartley!!!!
That stone pathway made my jaw drop to the floor. Stunning! Thank you guys for the ride. Love you all.
I agree, Cheryl. Personal note 🎶 I like the smaller stones, even if in the middle of walkway. Gives the eye a rest from big ones. However, whatever U 2 decide will be best! But, of course. 😊
How in the WORLD were you able to make that stone walkway look like it was dropped down from Heaven?!! Beautiful curves, beautiful edges….ahhh. The progress on the hardscapes is so satisfying to me, you’d think it was in my own garden!! Question- have you considered doing before and after videos? I’ve been watching for years and think it would be fun to show clips from previous years’ tours followed by update clips of the same areas. Both eye level and drone views! Thank you all for the miles of smiles every morning during coffee time! 💚💚💚👩🏻🌾
Was just thinking the same thing! Am amazed at the change in such a short time..love..love the walkway and stonewalls !
Would love to see this too! I often go back and watch videos and always think I'd love to see a before n after
YES YES YES!
A video for each of the areas would be fantastic winter content. I wish for this all the time. 😃
🍂NOT doing it proper, Laura says!! LAURA & Aaron, is there ANYTHING you two cannot do??? THAT walkway is GORGEOUS!!! Such a wonderful job!!! 🥰
[Gets out his list]
Using a shovel
Saying the word foliage
Keeping certain evergreens alive...
😉
Wouldn't go with black. Because you won't be able to sit on them. Your abundant sunshine will heat them up. Even in our low sunshine times in the coastal northeast with much late afternoon and nights summer fog black furniture make it too hot to use.
Seeing your visions for the different areas of your property is so exciting. I know you mentioned it many times, but to actually see it makes so much more sense to me. I'm loving it!
What fun to see you so very happy, Laura! love everything. Thank you!
I'm loving it! Real stone as walls and pathways versus the cement blocks and pavers... there's just no comparison. The Hartley area is really taking shape to where your vision is becoming apparent to those of us not inside your head... never having a formal garden anywhere in all my years of gardening I'm excited to see how you marry the two styles together. Great job.
The curve on the rock path is so perfect 🎉 Awesome work guys!!
The best thing is that you and Aaron are creating this together; combining your talents and skills. Joyous💗
Your stonework pathway looks amazing!!! It was worth the wait. It is all coming together!!🌸🌸
This walkway is stunning!! And the Hartley, dreamy. Can you imagine as this garden matures the photos you can take of your children here? Proms, Weddings, Family photos! An absolutely beautiful space your creating 💕 my vote is for weathered teak benches.
I love my teak bench!
Once done making a living off of transforming property, it could become a wedding or special event venue…never ending income.
I love the contrast between the grass and the stone pathways. They look so beautiful set on the ground like that surrounded by the plants 💚💚💚
I’ve done small stone walkways and I am really impressed that you and Aaron are doing that huge one yourselves! It looks great ! Lots of patience required. That curve is soooo even.
The gravel driveway looks so good
That curved edge on the stone pathway is crazy perfect! So excited to see what continues to evolve around the Hartley! AND, that view behind you in your final shot was glorious with all the fall color popping !! Just beautiful Laura! Nice progress Aaron & Laura! (& Benny too!!!). 😊♥️ yay!!!! 😃
Watching you build the stone walkway was the most satisfying project yet! I love the precision of the curves!
I love the tree behind your where the brick’s project is, west side
Looks amazing! Love, love, love the walkway and the beds around the Hartley - oh my word! If you guys ever run out of projects, I offer my yard to you! 😂You guys are amazing. I am SO behind on you and Jenny's videos - which is driving me crazy - but I know this winter when I'm hibernating I'll have some amazing content to watch to help me forget about winter 🥰 PS I love black benches especially with all of the white structures on your property.

Wow - that path really gives you an idea of the scale of that planting bed 😳
Awesome job 👏
It’s beautiful, I can see it already!
It’s looking so good! I’ve laid flag stone with my mom, it really is like a big puzzle. We had fun making a path and a campfire area with the stone. We were lucky that a farm house on our land collapsed and had fieldstone and flag stone everywhere.

placing the stones reminds me of a puzzle..... looks great
The old white iron gate arch would look lovely somewhere next to the Hartley.
Love the walkway! I can see benches along the way. Everything you guys are doing is so magical! It’s looking like a proper botanical garden.
The stone pathway is looking amazing… I can’t believe how sharp the edges are… great job!
Look at all this progress!!!! Oh my word!! I can see the vision so clearly 😍
That pathway does add an amazing definition to that area. One more beautiful layer. You and Aaron have put so much thoughtfulness into the Hartley...it will be an amazing space!

I love the formality around the Hartley. Can't wait to see it complete!
The arbor from the triangle garden would look so beautiful for the entrance of the stone path.
As you continue to fill in that area with the plantings it would become a magical stroll through that garden area.
Everything is looking so awesome!
Thank you so much for sharing your garden. I am at the beginning of my journey and you seem to be doing everything that I am dreaming about 😊. I am taking up your method To build my own stone pathway.

I am impressed with you comment, it shows how much you enjoyed watching. How are you
I had no idea there’s different qualities of landscape cloth. So maybe that’s why we had a fail :(
It really looks nice!! Great job so far. Hartley area coming together! Yay
I agree the edge on that pathway is impressive. Love the curve. Continually blown away by how much you have accomplished in that area. Your pure joy at watching things evolve, one plant or Heartly plus, is a delight. Blessings
WOW! That's all I can say. WOW!💗
Is there anything you can’t do?! The path looks fantastic. You two are so talented!!
OMG, that stone walkway...is INSANELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! So stunning, what an impact! Great choice to put a stone path in the flower bed. Cannot get over how this looks, just absolutely breathtaking.
The Hartley area is looking stunning as well! Cannot get over how many hard scapes you have created this year and what an impact that has on your gardens, it will look amazing once you get your Boxwoods in.
Good morning, Laura ☕️ You’re getting a workout in for sure moving those stones. The pathway is coming along nicely. The Heartly 😍 area is going to be stunnnng! Will be such a beautiful space to disconnect and enjoy the quiet with gorgeous 360° views! So excited for you. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
That pathway looks amazing exactly what that space needed. So many exciting things happening I look forward every day to see the progress❣️
I am impressed with your comment, how are you doing Toinette
It always makes me smile when Laura talks about benches to sit on and enjoy the scenery: if there is someone who is always on her toes it’s Laura! 😅 the path is lovely! That crisp edge is everything
I love the crispy fall mornings, the beauty of the changes of colors~ thanks to both of you for sharing your lives and the sweet beautiful children of yours ! 💗🙏🏻💗
A suggestion for benches in the Hartley garden area. To continue the English formal garden theme, you could look at Lutyens style wooden benches. Edwin Lutyens was a famous architect who designed many English country houses and usually partnered with Gertrude Jekyll for the garden designs. You can find Lutyens benches in his typical style, which would complement your English-made greenhouse beautifully!
I totally agree.To me Laura is my Gertrude Jekyll.Lutyens benches would be the icing on the cake.
That type of preplanning is remarkable! True teamwork!
For all of us that wanted to see large boulders in the landscape, this is a wonderfully picturesque substitute of beautiful hard scape 😁❣️Just gorgeous. You both have a good eye 👁👁for right pieces and overall shape. Blessings
What personality of a walk. Perfect
.
This is so much fun and inspirational to see the bones/infrastructure being put in place! Love the brick beds and gravel pathways. It's going to look amazing!
OH MY...the area around Hartley is coming together so beautifully. LOVELOVELOVE the stone pathway as well.
That walkway...AMAZING! Your vision and teamwork are wonderful!
I’m blown away at how well you managed the curves of your gorgeous stone walkway without cutting any stones!! I’m exhausted just watching you! 😊♥️
It could not be more perfect! Gorgeous. It just calls you in to walk it.
A.MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.ZING! 😍 What an incredible job you, Aaron and your crew are doing! That stone pathway is EXACTLY what your garden needed.

My heart is set in "Stone"! I absolutely love the path. The Hartley area is just so, so beautiful and peaceful. I can't wait to see it full of all the trees, shrubs, flowers and all the love that you and Aaron and everyone have put into this home.
I saw the landscape fabric and went on high alert for information! Fairly soon, landscapers will be placing commercial grade landscape fabric around the privacy shrubs we recently planted. I used Captain Jack’s at the highest setting to kill weeds. It took a full bottle just to deal with 1/3 of the space inundated with weeds. Captain Jack’s was effective, however, after the 1st rain, and a total of only 9 days later, the weeds were back in full force. I have never seen anything like it! First, I wanted to cry, then I wanted a flame thrower to burn all of the weeds. Talk about disappointment and discouragement. I gave up and said yes to the landscape fabric suggested by the landscape designer. Like you, my choices would be spraying weeds every single week, sometimes with more harsher chemicals (which I don’t want to do) or just install the landscape fabric.
I really appreciate how you respect the environment and try to use products less lethal to the environment, while making best practices decisions for your landscape. Everyone is walking in their own shoes and have to make choices based upon their individual situation while balancing the macro system environment . Thank you for being an example of that balance and for providing so much information I believe viewers value
Yes! So true...so frustrating to spend hours weeding..and they only come back over and over..even without moisture!
Your use of the landscape fabric is perfect. I am sure your viewers have had similar experiences to me with landscape fabric in beds. But, your use of it is totally appropriate, and will eliminate huge problems in the future.
I’m glad you placed the stones close together in the pathway.
My back hurts just watching you guys. Lol Love the work you're doing! Beautiful!
The way the mouth of the path flares is total class. Just loving the updates.
Bench wise, wood degrades so fast. Even the teak, unless under shelter. Black metal would have the best life, though it would be too hot to sit on unless in a shade covered area. And the black would tie in beautifully with your black & white theme. It just has a more polished look.
How talented y'all are! Your vision is like no other I have ever seen!
I get this is your job and your content but watching the current developments, I am exhausted for you guys! 😂❤❤❤
Ooh, that expanse of green grass behind you is beautiful, the stone path and the area around the Hartley, the cleared out garden will look gorgeous. I am so looking forward to how it will all come together!
Beautiful! Just beautiful and the stone walkway is already impressive.
That walkway is gorgeous, I love it ...cant wait to see the hartley when its all done its gonna be a show stopper..
Oh gosh Laura, this is becoming so beautiful and I really love that rock pathway and around the Hartley is going to be gorgeous. I am just so excited to see all these areas as they grow and become so beautiful. You and Aaron have done such an amazing job and thanks so much for sharing another wonderful video that I had a lot of fun watching. I hope you have a good day, sending love and hugs, bye!! 😂😉🤗😻💚💚💜💜💜
This is just gorgeous. I love your mix of DIY and hiring professionals, keeps it so real for us home gardeners on a budget. ❤❤ been watching for years and seeing your Hartley come together has been living a dream through you. Thank you for sharing.
Laura & Arron, Your stone path is looking amazing, just continue to take your time. You both have a good eye for what looks good and pleasing to your eyes. My husband and I just went to the rock yard and loaded 300lbs. of Rustic Basalt 1-3" patio stone for a garden boarder that I am working on into the back of our little pathfinder and I was spent, that heavy lifting takes a toll on the body;/ Thanks for sharing, it gives us inspiration!
Happy Gardening!
It’s so much fun to watch things coming together in your garden!
I have Hartley envy... along with the rest of your followers. The vista across the lawn in the background as you were wrapping up, with those autumn colours, had me sighing as well.
Laura, Aaron,
Is I look @ the new path, I can't help but hear Munchkins singing "Follow the Yellow Brick Road!" in my head. 😆
Your pathway is looking amazing.
Oh WOW!!! Absolutely beautiful and charming! You has a vision and it came true to life! The rock placement is perfect and true artwork! 🧡❤️💜💙💚
Everything is looking so good, Laura!! I absolutely love the stones that you're using for the pathway. The color is fabulous, and that sweeping curve is perfect. Well done 💚
I just love the pathway Laura and Erin who came up with the idea,so glad you guys always give away things love it 👍👏👏👏😊
The walkway looks amazing! I can't wait to see this space filled in❤️. Lovely evening walks and quiet areas for reading.
Hello
"Aaron's planning", aka Foresight! Love it. So exciting to see the Hartley area come along and future plantings. And the stone walkway in the South garden is going to be great. Nice design! Take care of your backs!
We had a step stone path through one half of our waterfall/creek/pond garden area and this spring my husband laid a brick path that 'y's' off in two directions giving me 3 very distinctive garden bed areas. At that moment I realized I love boundaries!!! in my gardens. It has made all the difference this year. You're going to love what your pathway will offer as you go forward. I don't know if I would have ever made the change if not for watching your videos and being so inspired. Now the vision is more achievable. Thanks!
Everything is looking so beautiful Laura n Aaron the stone walkway and around the Hartley are coming along nicely. I'm loving watching your vision become a reality ☺️☺️☺️😍😍😍
That curve will pull your curiosity around any tree you put there, it should give it a secret garden effect. Good job!
I realized as I was watching this particular video that I have been watching you and Aaron since you moved into this property-5 years I think?! It’s amazing, and I can never truly express to you both what this channel and all your hard work, sharing your family, has meant to me! Thank You! 🌷
Has it been FIVE years? I started right before they bought the property. Almost every day for five years. No wonder I feel like I know this precious family. I have learned SO much! Every project inspires me!
Looks absolutely beautiful! I remember 1st watching your videos several years ago. How much your garden has changed. Amazing!!
