Oohh I love how your wife helps you! This year my husband and I wanted to landscape our yard and I am so glad he is interested in it as well. Good time to bond even if we sometimes get frustrated during our projects lmao (because it's hard work!)
After cutting the edge you can make strip cuts slightly wider than your flat head shovel. Subsequently getting under the sod and quickly peeling it up is a breeze. Makes it super easy to reuse the sod elsewhere too! Great video Ryan. B-Roll is phenomenal.
I have used a newspaper weed barrier under mulch over and around evergreen tree roots. Just as Mrs Knorr demonstrated, the sheets of newspaper were easily to position and weeds beneath my trees were kept at bay for several years.
Awesome job Ryan! I'd recommend using a garden hose when trying to visualize the shape of the desired landscaping... and I'd also recommend treating with Preen before adding mulch... lawn u.s looking amazing as always!
smart move to get the wife involved BEFORE you start digging (-: Nice that you guys worked together. My wife works hard to help me out too even if I'm not the best about working as a pair.
I use cardboard as well. The one thing to be careful about though… termites love the stuff! My house is concrete so it’s not as big of a concern for me.
On recently installed younger trees, it's suggested to plant perennials rather than replanting annuals every year. Which would end up disturbing young root system that is just spreading itself radially outbound from trunk only an inch or two under ground surface. Nice job, especially installation of plastic borderwhich is way better alternative than resharpening edge every year using concave half Moon blade.
Hey Ryan. I highly recommend skipping fabric in mulch areas and treating the soil with Preen before mulching. It can also be applied occasionally after the mulch is installed to prevent unwanted weed growth. Looks great!
This looks great! Just found your channel recently, and you have a beautiful yard! Like some of the others have said, I use cardboard or newspaper over the ground under colored mulch. I find the newspaper lasts about a year, which is good, since it is much more amenable to breakdown and the biodiversity of the life below than landscape fabric, which I have also used. I will definitely try this new type of border. In the past, I used the old kind that stuck down in the soil but also heaved itself into horrid shapes over the seasons.
I moved into my first home late last summer. I had severely overgrown garden beds from the previous owners. I had no idea where to start. Then someone recommended cardboard. So easy and works well to kill preexisting weeds that are just too much to remove by hand. The previous owners used landscaping fabric… it’s shredded into hundreds of pieces, sticking up here and there. Looks terrible.
I found while removing the turf use a straight edgeing tool and do like 6 inch wide stripes and u can peel it up by hand with very little effort ! Definitely easier than being on hands and knees prying with a spade shovel or short handle landscape shovel
Dang bro ! Looks really nice! I use Col-Met edging and been using it for a decade. No heaving during seasonal temp changes either - at least for me that is. 👍👍👍😎👊
curious if you had to cut any tree roots... also, I appreciate that you didn’t get too close to the tree. too many people think you can pile up the soil, covering the root flare - and slowly killing their tree.
sharpen your garden spade on an angle grinder then cut the sod into small 1ft squares. Its very easy to lift like and get under like this. Also you can use the garden spade to edge too since its razor sharp. Ive done so many beds in my bermuda like this. Works great.
Nice work. Viewers should be aware that newspaper will act as a barrier for water going in and cause it to run off away from the plants and tree roots. The openings above each plant are minimal, so this is a real problem when in summer season. It also harm the tree by depriving it of water except beyond the bed. This is a serious problem if the bed extends out beyond the tree's branches. Just be aware and watch the tree for any signs of browning leaves.
You and your wife did an awesome job.
WOW! SHE'S A KEEPER, GREAT TEAM WORK, GREAT JOB, THANKS MR& MRS R.K. BROTHER BRUCE.
Agree!
I used a hose to design around my tree. It’s pliable and easy to manipulate
Oohh I love how your wife helps you! This year my husband and I wanted to landscape our yard and I am so glad he is interested in it as well. Good time to bond even if we sometimes get frustrated during our projects lmao (because it's hard work!)
Lovely doggy.
I might be wrong, but she's doing most of the hard work.
Passively…. 😅
Dark black mulch is the best it really makes the lawn pop great job
Amazing how it makes the lawn pop even more, which i did not think was possible.
Great job Ryan! Good to see you and the Mrs. collaborating.
The landscape makes the lawn look better. I like painting the beds to help visualize.

Great video Ryan. B-Roll is phenomenal.
It's nice seeing Mrs Ryan. TEAMWORK! Good job y'all.
Your grass is insanely gorgeous!
That edge and clean out looks great.

YES LOOKS GREAT! I have some new ideas for my trees. We just purchased a house and I'm super excited to do my yard. Thanks so much for sharing
You’re so cute. Love your approach and how you did such a strong job. I’m inspired! Well, done Ryan. 👏
Nice job. It's fun to see your wife helping. Teamwork!
Beautiful garden and lovely neighborhood too. Thank you
You have a very trusting wife alliwing her fingers to be that close to the spade while peeling up the sod 😳. Nice job. Looks great! 👍
Great video. Straight to the point with details thanks
Purple and Gold flowers! Nice.
I need to do that to a tree in my front yard. Thanks for the tips. Yours looks awesome. Nice team work! 👍🏻
Use a garden hose to design the bed ..works great
Not Really
me too!
Worked great for me!
I personally use an electrical extension cord to mark the shape, which I find more flexible and precise than a garden hose. Great video, thank you.
Looks great you did a professional job.
Well done, team playing together stays together, and looking good.
Love the change looks great!!!
Awesome job Ryan! I'd recommend using a garden hose when trying to visualize the shape of the desired landscaping... and I'd also recommend treating with Preen before adding mulch... lawn u.s looking amazing as always!
Great advice!
Turned out really nice way better than I thought. I know what my next weekend project is 😁
Looks nice good job to you and your wife thanks for the video
Great job! Looks real pretty. Gave some ideas to do under my tree 👵
ABSOLUTELY, ME2
Wow... that lawn looks game ready
nice crisp edge. very pretty.
Omg your Lawn is beautiful Especially At .28.
Thanks for Sharing. 💚
Looks fantastic - it really brightens up the yard - thanks for sharing!
Your lawn is gorgeous!
This looks great planning to try to do the same
smart move to get the wife involved BEFORE you start digging (-: Nice that you guys worked together. My wife works hard to help me out too even if I'm not the best about working as a pair.
Me and my old lady cannot work together lol. We try but it just never works well lol
Another great video thanks for sharing Ryan
Beautiful bed! And the pups are adorable. 💕
Mulches around trees are nice
Great, another project to do in my yard....lol. Great video and love the classic cars/truck next door......
I used newspaper for weed barrier, and it works very well for the whole year without weed coming through.
Looks great. Great team work also!
Great video with easy to understand instructions 💯
It makes me glad my yard is sand based. Looks very nice
Nice job! I like the plant selection too. Today I used Black Mulch in the garden. Great tips too. Thank you.
Looks so much better. Good stuff to you and your bride.
Looks great 👍
Thanks! Gonna do this where our birdbath is in our front yard, and around our bushes!
Cardboard is a great weed blocker. It breaks down naturally too and add to the soil.
I use cardboard as well. The one thing to be careful about though… termites love the stuff! My house is concrete so it’s not as big of a concern for me.
That is one nice lawn!!
❤beautiful. Thanks for the idea

First Aussie 😁Great teamwork, the end result is a credit to you both. 😁👍👍
Dude, the lawn looks like a carpet! great Job!
Turned out great.
It looks amazing!! Such a great addition to your lawn!
Thank you! Enjoyed your video ! Well done !
Hey Ryan. I highly recommend skipping fabric in mulch areas and treating the soil with Preen before mulching. It can also be applied occasionally after the mulch is installed to prevent unwanted weed growth. Looks great!
Is there a generic preen? I've got quite large beds to take care of.
Love the job supervisor! 🐕 Video real helpful

Those roots are the envy! Nice planting, a jewel in the lawn crown
First time to your channel. Good job. Good commentary. Thumbs up
Looks mint. Nice job
Looks really clean!
That looks GREAT! I have root envy...
Instead of newspaper, I fill my wheelbarrow with water and soak cardboard laying it down around the plants. Works well as a supressor.
really?? Good to know. I was told not to use cardboard due to the glue, chemicals. Glad to hear you've used it without problems. Thanks
Looks awesome and thanks for the information ♥️

gotta love that color pop!
❤Love the design.
Looks great! I love your dog too. I have a Westie as well.
We've had 4 total and love them
Dang bro ! Looks really nice! I use Col-Met edging and been using it for a decade. No heaving during seasonal temp changes either - at least for me that is. 👍👍👍😎👊
How do you keep grass clippings from going into the mulch. Thank you
Looks real good!
Exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks a lot
You did a good job bro
Looks good
really nice edge. turned out awesome.
Looks great

Wow yeah that looks really nice! I need to do this to some of my trees in the yard 👍
Smart way to keep a circle too!
Looks great Ryan.
Haha what are the odds? I got the same plastic edging and am planning to do my front tree on Sunday! Looks great 👍🏼
Thank you for sharing
To me - flowers are the bow on the package for the lawn. Looks awesome buddy 👍🏼
nice shape!
Looks Good!
Great job. 👍
