I have come to HATE landscape rock. It does look lovely for the first several years. Eventually it fills up with soil and organic debris. That packs into a dense hard mass that loves to grow weeds and is near impossible to keep clean. Give me shredded wood mulch. You do have to add more as it breaks down over time, but it keeps its appearance and remains forever easy to maintain.
That’s a really great point! I never thought to talk about the fact that it does get incredibly hard, almost unmovable, and weeds spraying up in it. Another reason I’m not huge on decorative rock myself.👍🏼
Sweet. Just got my new fence put in yesterday. Good info!
Very helpful and informative! Lots of good info here, thanks for sharing.
Gave me a few good ideas for my yard!
Glad it was helpful!
Fascinating to watch the garden come together. We've just done some basic landscaping this summer since our back yard was a 'wreck'!
Thank you for watching! If you need any help just let me know!!!
Another beautiful design. I've been binge watching.
Marie!!!! I love it! Enjoy! Please feel free to comment/ask any questions. I’m here to help!❤️
Bahaha! Put an Afro on ya - Bob… pretty little trees… 🌲 🌳
@Sarah Jones So funny you said that! I just filmed a video yesterday and I totally did a Bob Ross! Can't wait to share!
What a cool program you have!
Good stuff, thumbs up.
Thank you Mark!!!
Excellent design and ideas 💡 🙏👏👍😉
That’s really sweet. Thank you. I’m glad you got value.🙏🏻❤️
Whats the name of the software??
that app is so cool !
Thank you! So glad you're enjoying the channel!
Come on! Do the full design! Please. Loved this presentation!
Please check out some of the other Vids. Definitely full designs in those. Lots of projects before/after with the design coming very very soon!
@@BobbyKDesigns absolutely! I love all of your stuff! I think I loved this one so much because my yard is exactly like this! Our shed is in the exact same spot too! I'm so excited. We're mulling over sooo many design options with our low art skills and it was soo cool to see it a bit more real with this video! Thanks for sharing!
@@alexishodgson7624 you’re welcome and I’m so glad it helped you out. If you ever want to see what the full design would look like for your exact space, I’m happy to help! I build everything in 3D including your house all to the exact measurements. www.bobbykdesigns.com
@@BobbyKDesigns Thanks a million!
mulch dips and doodles! LoL
@Amanda Sprauer. LOL! :)
Beautiful. Thank you for posting. One question. What is a good way to landscape around fence, when 2-3 feet distance of the yard to the fence is slope ?
tha you
Hi George! You may need a small retaining wall or to pocket in boulders to address the elevations.👍🏼
This is an awesome video! Just found you and subscribed! Straight and to the point.
I also need EASY, since I have lyme and I’m sick a lot. Plus, I’m only 4’ 9”, so I need to work in increments. Thank you!
@Kathryn Willete I'm so excited to meet you and PUMPED you subbed! Thank you and I hope to see you in the comments! 🎯
@@BobbyKDesigns Oh! They don’t call me Chatty Kathy for nothing❣️🌷
Oh! I saw you do consultations to sort things out. What’s the cost for a plan for sone problem areas? I’m on a teacher’s pension and am disabled (pain, mold toxicity and horrible Lyme right now, plus a broken arm!). Could it be worse when you love gardening and no one will help you? I’m 68 and really puny! (4’ 9”, and 98 lbs.)❣️🌷

Hey Bobby thanks for your informative videos! Any recommendations on what I can plant along metal chain link fence block out neighbors? It’s rent house. Planted few elephant ears anything else you can think of grows quick this summer? 🙏lol
YES!!! This would be the time where I would recommend planting a row of arborvitae’s. They were about a foot and a half every year, our dance, and look great. AND... they don’t cost that much.👍🏼💪
I need ideas for my small front yard
I have an aluminum fence for most of my back yard and a trex dex privacy fence for a section to divide our back yard from our nosey neighbors yard. It turned out beautiful and we never have to paint the slats, just the posts! Practically no maintenance, just hose with a sprayer, no need to pressure wash it at all, so hose it down as needed, about once a year or every other year. We love it! I just need to decide what to plant along the aluminum fence. I know what I’m doing along the privacy fence. We are getting skinny arborvitae and already have 3 medium large evergreens in a light blue green grey tone way in front of the privacy part of the fence and 4 more , ( but 1 died, so only have 3 now, no idea why) in the front yard on one side. We need low maintenance and if we plant trees, small, not as big as crepe myrtles, so what do you suggest? We can grow little gem magnolias, Or maybe some large tall blooming shrubs. What do you think? We are considering doing this, this fall to make that area lower mainentance, less mowing is what I’m saying. We plant green lope, possibly it’s monkey grass cuz it grows like crazy and can get sort of invasive fast. I don’t want. It growing in my walkways or regular grass. We do not use weed killers or anything chemical in our yards. We prefer natural ways to get rid of certain bad bugs and we pop up dandelions, wash them and eat them in salads, etc. very detoxing and healthy plant to eat too! We don’t eat the flower heads. The tuber is excellent to eat! Lots of weeds are healthy to eat too I found out! We want less lawn in the front yard, more edibles and prettier landscape. We have a sort of wide and pretty deep front yard and narrows a bit in back but still kind of deep for a neighborhood lot. I like your ideas. Hoping for more ideas soon! What about water features, something affordable and DIY super friendly? Thanks 😊
@Laura Truth Seeker. Hey there! The fence sounds beautiful!!! I think you have a lot of great ideas for the planting. If you want me to help you sort it out, I think that a design consultation may just do the trick. Lots of questions of various areas that I feel only me seeing could truly answer. The consultation option is under "get started" on the website if you're interested. As always, thank you for watching and the comment!!!!
You need to help me with situations like yours!! I lie awake at night thinking about this stuff! My dog is getting filthy jumping over a fence I put up to keep him from getting into a sloped area at the back of my privacy fence.
I half think I should use my extra firewood and build up the slope, and fill it in with a sleeper bed (just found out what this is! Lol!)
Color please! Joe Pye weed and black eyed susans. lilacs yes good idea purple cone flowers.
Hi, I’m going to have new driveways and I’d like to have a planting box along the 4f fence to soften the ugly view of the the neighbor. What kind of plant best to put in the long box. What size of the box is suitable for plants? Thank you so much.
Hey there! Happy to help. Depends on the height you’re going after but arborvitae (Emerald green), viburnum, burning bushes, ornamental grasses...,to name a few options based on your style.
Thank you for this demonstration. Do you have any videos on laying weed barrier fabric. I want to use it between my patio and fence (roughly 1-2 feet deep) and then plant some soft scape that will break up the monotony of the white fence but unsure how to. Do you put the fabric down then cut into it to plant or do you weave it around the planted material. Thank you in advance.
Hello! I don't BUT how you install is with sod stapes to secure it down. Very easy.
Is adding steel edging between both materials necessary? Customer is trying to stay within a budget but now I’m worried that without that clear separation the materials won’t look good and eventually will become a mess. Am I overthinking it or should I just bite the bullet and install the edging out of my pocket?
A huge lesson that I learned too late in business is to not try And squeeze everything in a proposal because a client says their budget is X. If it’s just a few dollars more to get a better product the client will find a way to pay. It’s not shady or doing bad business, it’s protecting you from doing a job and not getting paid the money you deserve.
What software do you use?
I would argue against making a paved path across a lawn to a tool shed. That path turns the shed into a focal point. It is not an attractive focal point. If there must be a path, have it lead to an inviting destination, a bench, a gazebo, or something of that sort. Put the shed out of sight, near a corner of the house or hide it behind a trellis and some shrubs.
Definitely a valid point. I think if the shed was more like a she-shed it would have been better. :)
Hi I have a small yard and need help as to what to do I have a small miss match of a yards Please HELP ME Thank You Richie
Happy to! www.bobbykdesigns.com, click on “Get started”
Very interesting video you have I have a question in the city I live in the fence in your backyard cannot be any higher than 6 feet the fence is on a slope where the fence does not meet the ground so it is higher than 6 feet more like approximately 8 feet without going to the board and asking them to approve an extension to put on the fence my idea is fill in the space with dirt so therefore it will be on ground level without being in violation. think the term is Berms if you get my point.please message me if you can. sorry for the long comment.
@joel Crafon You’re idea makes sense to me but you may want to let the board know. It would be awful to do a bunch of work and be in violation. Like any relationship, business, etc COMMUNICATION is key!🎸
Bobby we are buying a house that doesn't have windows in the front. can you offer some suggestions for how to landscape to keep you from noticing that we have a big stone wall with no windows!!
Absolutely! I can order some tips in future videos but if you want to see what that’s really looks like I’d love to help you out! Check out my website where you can get your very own Bobby K design. www.bobbykdesigns.com
What app are you using to create the landscape design in that backyard?
HOWARD WENDEL hey there. I use a few but I used real-time on this one. Thx for Subscribing!
What program do you use to design?
??? Only a like but no answer :(
Our problem is the dirt has eroded under the fence now we have like a 3-4 inch gap between the dirt and fence, how do I fix that? When I water plants the water just goes under the fence in the neighbors yard
You can fill up the area with soil and then put an edge of stone along the fence OR put a very small retaining wall along the fence if the issue is going to continue to erode. Sometimes, if you can catch the water and redirect, you will stop the erosion and can come up with a one time solution of edging.
How do attach a tree to a vinyl fence?
I have this same fence
My problem is closing the gap at the bottom of the fence to keep pets in and neighbors pets out
If you covering a large area then price comes into play !
The materials you are suggesting will get very expensive for a DIY project
Hey there! It definitely can. Appreciate you watching and looking forward to hearing from you in the future!!! :)
How do you separate the rocks from the mulch?
Edging…stone, black steel edging. Both great options!!!
Are you familiar with Lancaster, PA plantings?
When I design, I simply pay attention to the zone. What zone is Lancaster, PA? I’m in St. Louis, MO. I can’t imagine it’s too much different. 🤞🏻
Hi we have wooden fence. Is there anything I can keep as barrier between the fence and soil? Fence has huge gaps underneath them. Soil and mulch may escape from it and also I want to protect wood from soil moist. Please suggest
Yes. Sometimes it does make sense to put stone edging or even retaining wall blocks along the fence if the gaps are large enough. This will help hold back the soil/mulch/gravel and keep those elements off the fence and help with any weathering of the fence material. Good luck!🤜🏻
🙈 This fence needs to be black!
This very rectangular backyard might be more suitable for a French style design than for an English style design with curves, but mixing both styles isn't forbidden! 🙈
Also, i wouldn't recommend the use of that many Lilacs due to all the suckers/ root offsprings (even the new cultivars that aren't supposed to shoot, do shoot after a few years...)
Lastly, in my opinion, (nobody asked for it, sorry! 🤪) because garden sheds are always ugly, they should melt in the landscape, and i wouldn't enhance it with a decorative pathway...
This design is EXPENSIVE!
But well answered question on how to keep the fence clean, since that was the point afterall! 🥳
(I watched this video hoping you would change the fence color from white to black, create an illusion of depth 🕳️ although this garden is already huge)
Great ideas and it would look great black!!! Always fun to get outside views! Thank you for the comment and please chim in on future designs/videos!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@BobbyKDesigns 💯🌹🍀 💫 Thank you for the reply Bobby! 😊 Will subscribe right away! I'm not a designer but a plant scientist who's been working at the Montreal Botanical Gardens since 1990... (It's more about thematics: Japanese, Chinese and First Nations gardens for example, and about architecture / landscape design, than about botanical collections.. It attracts more people!)
@@sgueymard sounds cool! I love Japanese landscapes!!!
What would you charge to sketch something up for us? If I sent you a picture of the back? :)
Hey there! I'm so sorry for the delayed response. I hadn't seen it. :). Here is a great page to get started and learn more....www.bobbykdesigns.com/welcome
Hey Bobby I have been in landscaping,for years and now just want to do landscape design for clients .Trouble is I have great ideas but what do you recommend for me Todo actual designs like drawing the house and yards on paper on computer.Thanks in advance .Any apps or anything.
@@larryte7450 Does anyone still do hand drawings with grid paper, a pencil and a ruler? That's what I would probably do if pressed for a design drawing....so old school!
Hi, how deep did you lay down that gravel? And are the mulched beds raised?
Make sure you secure weed barrier fabric with sod staples and then I recommend 3-4” of decorative gravel. The mulch can be raised or flush with the gravel. To separate, you can install stone edging or black steel edging strips. 👍🏼🔥
@@BobbyKDesigns Thank you so much Bobby, I have the ugliest backyard in town due to my very active dog, a real mud pit. I'm in 'winter dreaming' mode right now. :)
@@loisdemers6059 I know how this is. I had 3 at one point! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!! Stay tuned... I’ll have 2-3 vids coming out per week every Wednesday and Friday with LOTS of awesome tips!!!🤜🏻😊🔥
@@BobbyKDesigns hey Bobby, i got a job coming up but I’m now realizing about the separation of the gravel and mulch. Would it look bad if I do not install edging? The plan is to make a relatively deep bed. But thinking about it now I’m worried without steel edging between the pea gravel along the fence and mulch looking bad w/o steel edging.. forgot to include in quote. Should I just install it out of my pocket or would it look presentable w/o the edging? Customer is trying to stay on a budget.
@@evergreenlawncarellc1505 Just have an honest conversation with your client and let them know that it is in their best interest to have something separating the rock and the mulch. That way it keeps a clean look I won’t get messy for the future. Steel edging is 4 inches so if you bury 2 inches below and 2 inches above you will barely see it anyways. The mulch will hide it. Absolutely charge for the product! It’s important to always get paid for your hard work. Thank you for commenting and watching!🔥
Why are people obsessed with mulch? I understand using it to keep down weeds around plantings, but why do people replace lawn or even, god forbid, native growth with a big sea of ground up, dyed wood shavings?
It softens the space and is great for holding in moisture in the beds. Hot summers are no joke on plants. Mulch has a lot of nutrients and helps the plants as well.
What would you recommend for a steel edging to separate the mulch and grass. I want to do something similar to this but can’t find a reasonable option. Have a favorite brand? Thanks
Mostly just comes down to personal preference and taste. Mulch is a quick, easy, and cheap way to create a nice clean , visually pleasing area for a flower bed or around trees and shrubs.
It also creates a designated separate area for flowers and plants. No real reason other than it’s just pleasant to look at/personal taste and preferences.
From one landscape designer and instructor to another, may I point out a few questionable choices in your design - I feel it's important if you are instructing anyone considering a DIY landscape project.
I first noticed there is no scale in this space with those scarce plant choices that will be lost against the endless white fence. Making a utility shed a focal point with a path that cuts through the lawn is an outdated look that disconnects the natural feel and flow. Why not consider the beautiful, borrowed view of the outlying forest when choosing the colour of the largest hardscape installed - the fence. There are far better colour choices in vinyl fencing than stark white for a heavily forested landscape like this. It sticks out and will always look out of place against those giant, beautiful trees on the other side.
The addition of the outdated wavy, whimsical flower bed style creates confusion and doesn't give our eye anything to land on. Large wide curved beds full of drifts of hosta, ferns, white perennial bloomers and silver foliage plants mixed with low to mid-size evergreens would provide scale, interest, and a lush feel in the yard. Low- maintenance and native perennials are available in every gardening zone -learning the plants in your zone inside and out is critical regardless of what your computer program offers for choices. Hope I haven't offended but landscape design is the biggest expense for homeowners, and we need to stay relevant to be inspirational for those seeking advice. :)
Thx for watching. Nope. You have your style and I have mine.
