Robbie don’t worry about things not looking that great, or a planting that failed etc…. You are keeping it real for us novice gardeners that feel defeated when something in our garden doesn’t go as planned. Too many garden You Tubers have the perfect garden, perfect landscape, etc. which many of us can’t relate to and can’t afford. So I for one am ok with seeing things that don’t look so great in your garden. 🌹🌻
You are so much more relatable then someone who gets free plants from proven winners so they can plant 20 plants in a pot and rip them out willy nilly whenever they want. Enjoying your content.
Robbie your garden is your happy place. You can rest assured that the viewers that are gardeners know that it is a work in progress.No judgement you have a beautiful garden and it fills your cup… Enjoyed seeing this walkway. And I love the dog.
It looks so good!! I love the idea of ending the straight line of gravel at the espalier!! If you still feel like you need that small corner area for plants that you would be sacrificing from the flowerbed, it would be a great place for a trio of planters.
WOW! What a difference the edging and gravel make!! You did a FANTASTIC job Robbie. I can't wait to see all the Tulips! Thank you for sharing an awesome video. 😊
The gravel pathway looks sooooo good. I can hardly believe the transformation.You have given me a wonderful example of what would look good in my own garden. Thanks.
Great job! I like your idea to have the espalier without a flower bed in front of it - thus creating a uniform appearance with the rest of the espalier.
Oh the pathway is perfection! I agree with the next path stopping at the espalier, it’s a natural point at which to end. All the metal edging and gravel is such a great idea for cohesion! Great job! Oh I want to add, please don’t worry about how your yard looks…it’s reality and we love it!❄️🇨🇦❄️
Looking really good Robbie . Thanks for keeping it real ! You have made me reconsider pulling plants that are just not good for my garden bed . Getting on that when our weather warms up. I look forward to seeing your videos every week . Loving Freya too !
Robbie I think there’s a resin type product that you can pit on the surface of the gravel to keep it from moving so you’re not constantly going back to get the ruts out from the wheels of your wagons and trash containers
Robbie, I love that you said that you need to talk it over with Brent before continuing. I think it's crucial to take your loved ones' suggestions and viewpoints into consideration because the final result ends up being better in the long run. Have a wonderful weekend!
I LOVE the new gravel pathways. They look so neat and clean, great job. I'm trying to talk my husband into getting that metal edging, lol.Your hard work is really paying off.
Your Gravel pathway is looking 🎼GORGEOUS 🎼! You did a great job! I cannot wait to see the beautiful flowers lining the edges of your pathway! It looks so serene and magical! Especially with the water feature and grasses! 🏆🏆🏆
I think it looks really good!!!! And I love that gravel! I really gotta agree with that other viewer's comment, you're keeping it real and that's why we love and enjoy your videos. It's there every morning when I turn on my RUclips and have my cup of coffee. But the best thing of it all is that it's our own garden and we can always change things up if we don't like something, whenever we want !! That's why I love gardening, it's so much fun! We can do whatever our hearts desire and try different things. But sometimes I worry what people who see my garden might think but I think that's normal. Right😅?? Lol, but at the end of the day, I still do what makes me happy. I love to watch you having fun creating your beautiful garden. I've been working on mine for 2 years now and it's come a long way from when I first started. It transformed from a jungle to a real garden.🤣 It takes time to create that beautiful garden we have envisioned in our mind but small steps forward every day will definitely get us there. Ty for all your awesome videos! They keep me motivated!💪👊🤙We got this!!
Hey Robbie - great job with the gravel, it looks wonderful. I have the same situation as you with my trash cans by the gate, and I hated seeing them from the backyard so I planted a bay leaf hedge there and now I have a green wall instead of ugly trash cans. And when it rains it smells sooooo good. Take a breath at the end of the day and remember back to last summer with the cut flower garden. Look at the progress since then. Make a review list so you can review your accomplishments if you are feeling like you need to hurry up. I think we all enjoy watching your progress because it’s reality and not fluffy.
Robbie love the gravel look! A thought, that may help with the overwhelmed feelings 🤓. It may help to paint in the boxwood/tree design you want to incorporate with less grass. Taking into account the stairs, a bbq area, and a new gazebo you mentioned. I’m a visual learner. You could do green paint so you don’t have to stare at orange!
Hi Robbie, love the gravel path and the idea of doing the same on the espalier side. I can see that you’re a bit overwhelmed with everything you want to do because it’s daunting to look at everything at once. I’ve always found that if I break up my garden by area and make a list of everything I want and then need to do in that area, it feels more manageable. I see you’re doing that as well and can see your vision of streamlining your style with features like the green window boxes, gravel pathways and metal edging. It will be awesome! Cheers from Kelowna, BC, Canada. ❤
Nice work finishing the walkway it looks fabulous and yes it leads you into the yard! Bravo. On the other side I do like the look of the stones lining that garden bead….but shorten it to the honeysuckle and keep the stones that line your fern bed next to the house. The walkway can have stone on one side and metal edge on the other. Keep it cottage don’t get too industrial
Great video, looks great! If you want to hide your garbage bins, you could build a wooden cabinet to enclose them and put a hinged top and doors that open so you can easily get them in and out. You're so creative I know you could figure out a way to hide them. I keep my garbage bins in garage and then wheel them out on garbage day, but I only have two small ones as I recycle most of my garbage and use brown bags for yard waste. I wish I could compost but we get skunks and I have two dogs and it's not fun if they get sprayed!
About the side where the espalier is, I would just dig up the tulips in large clumps and put them in the pot that you just emptied. They can sit side-by-side. That would be beautiful. Then you could dig up the grass that is there and do what you will with it and remove the rest of that flower bed. That way you can get the gravel put in place.
The gravel really added to your enterance. A garden is always a work in progress, because there is always things to do. I love the look of the gravel you bought. Here in Canada, that gravel would be well over $200/yard. You are lucky you can buy it for so cheap! ❤
The edging is fantastic! And love the color and size of the gravel. Making a wider path was so much better. Everything just looks more spacious and eye catching. Great job!
Robbie now that you moved the trashcans differently maybe you could make the edging over sum to include the tree that was close to the trashcans and it will even out both sides of the garden beds evenly
The pathway looks great! Fabulous improvement for so many reasons. As for the other side, I think it would look nice to end the gravel at the end of the espalier, but on the other end, the dogs will keep destroying the grass, so you might want to spread gravel on their track, maybe even remove that narrow concrete walkway, too. In other words, make a gravel path where they've made a muddy one. Pick your battles, you know? In any case, I'm enjoying the improvements and looking forward to seeing the tulips in full bloom.😊
It’s looking great! My vote would be to take the edging straight over to the fence and lose that little piece of bed to make it look cleaner. If you’re not planning on ever using the drink cooler as a drink cooler any longer turn it into a raised planting box. I just turned an old garden storage bench into a raised strawberry bed complete with drip.
I liked your idea to end the gravel where you end the espalier and making the walkway wider. Reworking the yard as you use it instead of the other way around, and not growing grass where the dogs walk.
The wider path was a good call, it looks so much more inviting. Dogs are really good about making paths to all points in the yard. I like “natural” pathways and dogs through the years have given me paths through my large backyard. All I did was refine it a little, placing a “human material” to walk on and not be in the mud. No worries, the dogs love it and use it. And we amble down the pathways completing the whole yard. So go with the flow of the pack and gravel in their natural paths. PS. Just enjoy the dogs while they are with you and wanting to be with you.
Robbie the walkway and that area is reallly coming together, your dream to reality!!! hey you seem a little overwhelmed with the other side, try this.. draw your plan out ( or plans) i for one am a visual learner, so maybe if you see it on paper you can decide which plan you want to go on so you can focus on that and the work will not seem so overwhelming!!! you are doing amazing bringing us along for your journey and i for one really appreciate you!!! have a great weekend with your hubs and pups

🎉 W 🎉 O 🎉 W 🎉 We cannot believe the difference you have made to the side garden area. 🤩 It looks absolutely amazing! Robbie you have such impressive design skills. To be able to imagine what that area will look like with your desired changes and then make it happen with your own hands is a gift! We can’t wait till you are able to fulfil your dream of being a full time RUclipsr because you deserve to do what makes you happy (and what you are so good at), everyday. We love watching you. Sending you so much love from Australia. Meg and the rescue pups. 🤗🥰🤗
I love gravel pathways, and yours looks amazing, I agree with another comment about drawing your vision out for the espalier side, I do that all the time , not just for my garden ,but even if I want to change a room around! However I do like the idea of the espalier being where the gravel would end, I think it would be amazing. Enjoying this evolving process .
Robbie, you could raise the fence gate by raising the hinges attached to the fence. I have the same issue with my dogs running back and forth making a muddy mess and killing the grass. I finally just used brick pavers in the area they run in.
Robbie, Here's a thought. You have several planting areas but not tied in together. Tie them all in together including that bear oatch of grass. Make one planting space. It will give you more planting area and it will tie everything together. Not sure im explaining it very well. Love that edging.
If you take edging and gravel to the end of the end of espalier maybe a small bench, large rock or statue to soften the sharpness. I also like the idea of a curve because you are doing a formal garden. If I remember right it is going to be structured and in 4 sections of pathways. A little softness could tie in with the cottage flowers you are adding. Well, I'm really no help at all! 🤣
Hi from Scotland ,hi Robbie I just love your garden its great you live in a part of the world we're you can get out in your garden and do some work ,here in scotland it's cold and very wet I rains and then forgets to stop I can't wait to get thing done in my garden 8 have loads of sweet peas on the go inside my house plus my leeks and onions they have all started to germinate but that is just the start of it still do start all the rest of my flowers and lots of vegetables plus tomatoes but it is far to early take care robbie cheers till next time anne from Scotland
I love the gravel paths I too have lots of gravel areas and I’m currently touching up the gravel and pulling weeds! Love your channel you are so sweet!
The wider path looks great, as to the other side, make your decision first so you don’t need to rework areas or spend extra on materials. For the path the dogs make in back, no matter what you do, the dogs will take that route. Just make it clean with gravel. Then you won’t have mud or struggle with grass.
It looks fabulous!!! A suggestion for you Robbie -- at 13:34 where the old wagon is, I would suggest having your metal edging starting from that point, at the edge of your deck that is under the seating area and have it swoop in a gentle curve all the way to the fence (where the other side yard is where the 3 stones are) and fill that all in with the pea gravel you are using. That would include removing the concrete that you have going to your little landing as you come out of your house. I know that sounds like a lot, but maybe that solves a lot of problems with your dogs and is something you can do in small increments over the Spring before it gets too hot, or in the Fall in Phase II. Just a thought. I think it would add a lot of character to your back yard and make the entire yard more cohesive. Whatever you decide, Robbie, I'm sure it will be great!
Hi Robbie, been watching your videos for awhile now, and yes I subscribed immediately! Congrats on your gravel work, well done. Dogs dogs dogs, I know🥴. For such a small compact yard, would you consider making a long gated dog run along the whole side of your fence? Some people make beautiful dog-runs and they can watch you in the garden all they want. I had one at previous home along the garage, measurements were 6’ by 20’, plenty big enough and 2 dog houses in it, plus 1/4 of it was roofed. The dogs loved it. They stayed in there all the time, ran around in there. Or chain them, until you get the chance to reseed the lawn they have already wrecked. Mud and dogs are enemies to a clean space, in and out of the home. Good luck.
Great job! I need gravel for my side of the house area which is chaos at the moment. A rotting potting bench, pots everywhere and other "garden junk". I will get busy!
Wow, everything is looking sooo amazing Robbie! I like the idea of squaring off the new gravel at the end of the espalier (which is looking unbelievably healthy and full BTW) and just removing the one bunch of grass after your tulips are done. If the dogs keep going diagonally across the grass from the house to the gazebo it might be really difficult to change their behaviour....would curving that part of the gravel path to include where they want to take a shortcut work? Or are you aiming for straight lines, aka your new proposal for the back garden you showed us a few months ago?
Looks great, Robbie! Small chunks at a time and all of a sudden you have an awesome new walkway! I really like your idea for the gravel under the vine growing on the fence and cutting the flower bed a bit.
Robbie don’t worry about things not looking that great, or a planting that failed etc…. You are keeping it real for us novice gardeners that feel defeated when something in our garden doesn’t go as planned.

I agree! 😊
that is a great idea !

I have been gardening for20 years and there has never been a time when my garden is perfect. It is ALWAYS a work in progress. Love your enthusiasm!❤
The widened pathway was genius! It looks so clean, crisp and inviting. Bravo my friend.
WOW! What a difference the edging and gravel make!! You did a FANTASTIC job Robbie. I can't wait to see all the Tulips! Thank you for sharing an awesome video. 😊
Your gravel walkway is so much more STUNNING than I imagined it! Wow! Great design, lovely outcome! 200% improvement!
The gravel pathway looks sooooo good. I can hardly believe the transformation.You have given me a wonderful example of what would look good in my own garden. Thanks.
You got a lot done Robbie❣️ The gravel pathway looks really nice and buttoned up❤️

I love that you used your feet to spread the gravel. That is soooo something I would do! 😂
Robbie looks so nice. Love your spreading of gravel method. Made me laugh. Seemed very efficient way to move the gravel around
Love the way you spread those rocks…looking good…love your doggie
Love your energy and authenticity ❤🌸😘😇🌻happy gardening.
The view from the gate!!! Good job. Looks amazing! Deanna
Robbie I think there’s a resin type product that you can pit on the surface of the gravel to keep it from moving so you’re not constantly going back to get the ruts out from the wheels of your wagons and trash containers
Yes called mulch glue, I am thinking of getting it for my gravel seating area.
The walkway really cleaned the area up… looks good
Everything you are doing is making your yard perk up. Love the gravel walkway and the edging.
Robbie, I love that you said that you need to talk it over with Brent before continuing. I think it's crucial to take your loved ones' suggestions and viewpoints into consideration because the final result ends up being better in the long run. Have a wonderful weekend!
This is a huge change. It looks so elegant! I need to get outside and clean up my side garden! ❤❤
Robbie you are so fun to watch ! You truly represent a LOT of us novice gardeners!
Wow, Robbie! The walkway looks amazing. Now, I want some of that metal edging for my flower beds.
Always a pleasure watching you and I love your giggles at yourself.

Robbie now that you moved the trashcans differently maybe you could make the edging over sum to include the tree that was close to the trashcans and it will even out both sides of the garden beds evenly
In the back try a loose s for the walkway from the deck to the fence. Don’t fight what the dogs are doing embrace the natural lines.
So good!! Love watching it come together for you! Your property is beautiful!

For such a small compact yard, would you consider making a long gated dog run along the whole side of your fence? Some people make beautiful dog-runs and they can watch you in the garden all they want. I had one at previous home along the garage, measurements were 6’ by 20’, plenty big enough and 2 dog houses in it, plus 1/4 of it was roofed. The dogs loved it. They stayed in there all the time, ran around in there. Or chain them, until you get the chance to reseed the lawn they have already wrecked. Mud and dogs are enemies to a clean space, in and out of the home. Good luck.
Great job! I need gravel for my side of the house area which is chaos at the moment. A rotting potting bench, pots everywhere and other "garden junk". I will get busy!
I love gravel. I have a lot of it in my back garden. Yours looks great!
It looks great!
And now it's gonna dump rain again!
Wow, everything is looking sooo amazing Robbie! I like the idea of squaring off the new gravel at the end of the espalier (which is looking unbelievably healthy and full BTW) and just removing the one bunch of grass after your tulips are done. If the dogs keep going diagonally across the grass from the house to the gazebo it might be really difficult to change their behaviour....would curving that part of the gravel path to include where they want to take a shortcut work? Or are you aiming for straight lines, aka your new proposal for the back garden you showed us a few months ago?
Loving your pathway!! Your gardens are beautiful!!
Looks great, Robbie! Small chunks at a time and all of a sudden you have an awesome new walkway! I really like your idea for the gravel under the vine growing on the fence and cutting the flower bed a bit.
Really buttoned up and beautiful
