I didn’t realize how small your garden is until now. I originally thought your space was comparable to that of a rural/farm space. Of course comparing it to my urban lot your space is huge It’s an incredible transformation with creative planning of space, both horizontally and vertically. I personally am not a fan of perennial gardens but yours is the exception. I’ve finally realized that the reason I like it so much is because it’s well organized. It doesn’t look like someone threw a bunch of seeds in the air and let them fall wherever and said “grow”. The artwork also helps to give the eyes a rest. There’s so much harmony in your garden. Very beautiful and peaceful and easy to enjoy!
I am sure your neighbours are happy you bought your home, you gave them some privacy too not just yourself. Your garden and it transformation should be in a magazine or something. Your hard work is worthy of recognition.
This "before and after" really brings it all into perspective. Stunning is what comes to mind. The flow of everything in harmony is what really captures the eye!
What a great way of showing the before and afters, and I still think it is genius the way you have dealt with all that water. The aerial shots at the end were fabulous too.
How you dealt with those oddly placed utility boxes and all of that water is a testament to your landscaping skills and vision. One would never know they were there or that you had a real water problem. It's hard to believe you have no training. Well done, Mike.
What a difference. Doesn't even look like the same house. And no one could imagine how much problem you had with the flooding without the picture. You made it work in a beautiful way. Great job. Btw, I love the music 🎶 Have a beautiful day.
Taken from someone who is dealing with half the challenges you are, you made a whole freakin lemon pie out of a lemon of a back yard with your water flow issues!!! I too thought that your yard was huge, but instead, I can see how, with great ingenuity, you made what seems to be a regular builder’s quarter acre feel like a sprawling acre...kudos! It’s fun to see how a man designs a garden in comparison...great perspective on how to meet the challenges!
I keep coming back to your videos because your landscaping is just the best on RUclips. I love all your special touches tucked in everywhere. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Moxie Gardens :). - - - I just wanted to say how much I hope you will continue to keep your channel in 2022 - -- - I am still watching your previous videos and hope you will send us more from your beautiful gardens this Spring....because of your channel - --- I got off the couch and started gardening again.....Thank you !!!!!!
Hey Mike~ It is amazing how you have transformed your property!! I appreciate you sharing your location and zone…sure wish more did that at the beginning of videos. You truly are an inspiration and so creative. It’s cool to hear your thought process and to see your vision come to life. My husband even watched some of your videos, and of course, he was interested in seeing how you dealt with your drainage issues. Thanks for the time and attention you put into your videos-please keep them coming and just stay you! Glad to see your channel grow. ~Carla
I don’t know why I just decided to show my husband the transformation of your beautiful yard. He was in awe. He said WOW! that’s unbelievable;it’s BEAUTIFUL! It doesn’t even look like the same place. It’s time for us to start living our dream on our property but I’d like to hire a professional landscaper to do it. I’m crushed😂!!!!I bragged on you and how you did it yourself. I will have a physical hand in the transformation because I love playing in the dirt and seeing the wonders of nature spring up -God revealing the beauty of this earth and how He created it for us to tend to and enjoy. It’s a lot more land so I would enjoy the help.Thx so much for being an inspiration to us digging in the dirt lovers and the admirers of it all❤❤❤.
Mike, you have one of the loveliest, most interesting gardens I have ever seen. You said you had a drainage issue, but that flooding in that photo was terrible! You are a handy, resourceful guy, and you made a disaster into an asset. Every time I watch one of your videos I am blown away by your creativity!
Hi, it's little ole me again! We've not seen anything from you in some time so I was checking on you and your family. Please let us know if we can be of help if needed. Your beautious garden is missed a lot! Prayers going up for you and your family.
YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL AND DON’T EVEN KNOW IT, YOUR GARDEN IS GORGEOUS AND LOOK HUGE SO MUCH LARGER THAN IT REALLY IS!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING!!!!!!!
I like the old photo hanging on the vine then then zooming out to show the current garden. Nice video. I wish you could come and help me with my garden too. 👩🏻🌾
Truly incredible!!! what an amazing oasis you created!!! I bet you don't ever need to go elsewhere for vacation cuz no place could beat the sweet home 🏡 you made by your own hands✌️
Mike, I hope all is well with you and your family. We've missed your videos and hope you'll be back creating and sharing your lovely gardens with us again soon. ~Margie
Stunningly beautiful your gardens, that just goes to show that you don't need acres and tons of money to make your dream garden come thru... It's a labor of Luv and it shows...
I love everything about your garden. I watched a video of where you mentioned a trick for arranging trees and shrubs based on texture, height… (I can’t find it). Can you make a video to walk us through your thought process in a bit more detail?
What a great way to show your story! Develop the pictures and hang them from the trees in the garden you created. That is an ironic yet transformative way to demonstrate the work and love you have put into creating your special place. It feels like you are in your own cocoon, surrounded by other houses that you can't see that no longer impede on your privacy and your peaceful garden!
Still say this..as i continue to show off the beauty and creativity of this space! Just so inspired by the problems turned into beauty with just a little thought and planning..such healing in all these videos, blessed to see and share thank you so much for the wisdom!
Very creative use of old photographs. Thank you for the drone shots. You certainly have created a masterpiece in your small space. Going from flooded mess to a slice of Eden, everything you have done speaks to your creativity and talent.
Wow! What a transformation! Your garden today looks like its always been there. Bravo for seeing the potential in a basically empty space. You have gained privacy, beauty and a wonderful habitat for wildlife. Did you start with the whole garden in mind or was is more of an evolution? (I'm guessing the latter). That was a terrific 'before and after' presentation too.
Besides the beauty of the garden, I think the best thing shown is your working within the framework of what you were given. From many other videos, you had mentioned the "pond" that your backyard became during rain, but I hadn't seen any evidence like you showed here. You could have spent tons of money to force the land to fit your ideas, but you worked with it to accomplish something maybe even better than what you thought it could be. Kudos!
I bet a few cuss words were said the first day your yard flooded. Awesome work with the video. What a great opportunity that oversized lot presented too you and you knocked it out of the park to create this beautiful oasis.
WOW!!! What an AMAZING TRANSFORMATION OF YOUR YARD...it doesn’t even look like the same place and couldn’t believe how flooded your yard was...YOU HAVE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB and so WELL PUT with the flowers, trees and your decor fixtures...for someone who was a beginner sure turned out like a “PRO” JUST LOVE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!!!
So glad you did this video! I made my daughter watch it with me. She agrees that your yard is beautiful. I kept saying and he only did it in 7 years! Truly magnificent! It’s nice to see such terrific inspiration for my own yard! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
I appreciate all of the design, beauty and hard work you invested in your garden space! It’s a magical place that you created!!! Amazing place and I am glad you’re sharing it with us. Thank you.
From the time I watched your first video, and especially the one explaining how your garden/channel's name came to be, excites me. I am loving this garden and the transformation is fabulous! I get excited when I see new videos from you. I will never get tired of seeing your garden.

Simply breathtaking!!! Has to be the most creative before and after RUclips has ever seen. Great work!
I’m not sure what you do for work but you could make a killing on designing backyards. What a gift. And it’s all in your head. Wow
Thank you!
Your neighbors get to enjoy ,whats growing over the fence, beautiful space, you've done a lot of work !
What a great way of showing the before and afters, and I still think it is genius the way you have dealt with all that water. The aerial shots at the end were fabulous too.
Miss your amazing gardening videos! Hope all is well with you!

What an amazing transformation! You have an incredible eye for garden design. Your garden is so interesting and utterly charming. Love it!
We miss you, Moxie Gardens, please come back. Hope all is well.
Hello Laura 👋 how are you doing today?
Omg what a transformation.....you've made yourself a small heaven on Earth .
Taken from someone who is dealing with half the challenges you are, you made a whole freakin lemon pie out of a lemon of a back yard with your water flow issues!!! I too thought that your yard was huge, but instead, I can see how, with great ingenuity, you made what seems to be a regular builder’s quarter acre feel like a sprawling acre...kudos! It’s fun to see how a man designs a garden in comparison...great perspective on how to meet the challenges!
That’s incredible! 😃 I can’t believe it was that bare 7 years ago and now all of this beauty. 🙌🏼

You haven’t posted in awhile. Hope all is well. Really like your content. Your place is amazing!
I’m amazed by all the different plants you have in your garden, and the layout, I specially enjoy the curves and different shapes.
Before it was only a backyard. Now it is a paradise. Very good job!
Mike, you have one of the loveliest, most interesting gardens I have ever seen. You said you had a drainage issue, but that flooding in that photo was terrible! You are a handy, resourceful guy, and you made a disaster into an asset. Every time I watch one of your videos I am blown away by your creativity!

Miraculous transformation! Take a bow ! 😊
Magnificent transformation in seven years.

This amazing transformation must gladden the hearts of your neighbors who may enjoy seeing your garden from their homes.

I loved how you did the before pixs, lol, that was great. You have the most beautiful garden; what a transformation!!
One of the best gardens on RUclips! It seems to have evolved over decades rather than a few years!
Your yard is absolutely beautiful.
So nice to see the transformation. And what a fun and creative way to showcase the before and after. Love it!
We're anxiously awaiting some new videos!!!! 😃😃
Great Design, great vision.
