Love the passion you have for landscape/gardening and the great information and education you share. Thank you! 🙂
I like how you plan your beds. I do the same. I chew on it for a while from different angles and elevations (like an upper deck). Really enjoying your videos.
The contouring really steps up the game, thank you!
Awesome videos & information.
I’ve really been enjoying your videos. I’ve been watching a lot of garden channels lately and you’re videos are on par with the best I’ve watched. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Great to hear!
Love this video and the insight you're sharing! I'm new to gardening and I'm trying to work on landscaping around my property. After a lot of research, you've made me feel a lot better about taking time to develop my landscape rather than racing to have it done. Thank you!
Beautiful landscape you have. I’m on year 4 of a new build property. Started as an empty canvass and have added shrubs, grasses and perennials over the years. I’m now at the stage where I’m adding some height via arborvitaes and columnar, deciduous trees this spring. I’ll be planting a degroots arb. and a Spartan juniper next month.
Beautifully landscaped bed, thank you!
Thank you, I see you answered my question from a another video about laying down a weed barrier
Kevin, do you have any suggestions or videos about invasive roots and/or planting around water/septic lines? I do like the idea idea of building a large berm to perhaps provide some extra space for some medium sized shrubs/trees.
I’d avoid getting too close with trees and shrubs. If there is water, they’ll find it. I agree with the most common recommendation to stick with turf grasses; for my area, that would be the Kentucky Bluegrass, Fescue, and Perennial Ryegrass varieties. Avoid native grasses like Bluestem, which can have roots at least 6 feet deep. That being said, I think there are a lot of flowering perennials that would be safe, but do some research on root depth compared to how deep your lines are. I also have a septic field, and I have toyed with the idea of what you are saying about building some berms. If I ever did this, I would likely get a thick geotextile fabric like the ones used on erosion control projects below rip rap. I would place this fabric on the bottom of the berm, adding at least a foot of soil over the top, which should be adequate for shallow-rooted perennials. The fabric will allow for drainage and (should) avoid root penetration. I hope this helps.
Very informative! Thank you so much🙋🏽♀️
thank you
Love!!!
Great information as always, but I also really enjoyed the format of this video.
Awesome video. How do you irrigate these beds when you plant in the middle of the grass? Do you run a drip line to it or do you let the sprinkler heads from the turf just spray on the bed from before you planted it?
They get overspray from the irrigation heads. When I moved to this location, the irrigation system was already installed, and it was all turf. I’ve positioned the beds (and plants) the best I could to avoid moving heads. It’s not perfect, but if I’ve learned anything about irrigation, it’s never perfect.
@@gardenhike thank you! I’ve watched this video a bunch of times for inspiration for my landscape projects. Love your channel and your property is beautiful!
Nice information friend sb Dane 👍 Stay connected 👍👍👍
I got a lot of good ideas from your videos using rocks and contouring and making berms. I have a problem though. The previous owner used half of the back yard with small river rock and I tried to plant some wisteria along the fence and dug holes and discovered not only weed control fabric but another kind of fabric that is thick and almost cloth like. The wisteria died. I think he sprayed with roundup then put the two fabrics down then the rock which is about two inches thick. He had two big dogs and didn't want much grass. My question is, can I add soil to build up areas then plant shrubs and flowers in that dirt over the existing rocks? Will my plants die or will their roots work their way through that fabric? What if I plant perennials that have shallow root system? Also it is a very sunny area all day long. I need help and don't want to waste money if it is not workable. Any suggestions would be appreciated. My only other option is big containers scattered about.
The thick fabric sounds like erosion control fabric, and It is unlikely that roots will work their way through it. If possible, move the rock aside where you want to establish plants (1-2 foot circles). Cut the fabric out, dig your hole and then plant. Now the roots should be able to establish underneath the fabric. Hope this helps. Good luck!
@@gardenhike Thank you appreciate your advice

Can ruby carousel barberry used as foundation plant..?
My opinion is yes. It statys compact (3’x3’) and it can take some heat which can occur next to walls, especially brick. And I’ve never found the roots to be a problem.
I wish I didn't put landscape fabric down it's a pain, lol I would rather deal with weeds
