    That place is just frikkin gorgeous, Chris. You have such a wonderful eye for transforming the land into a place of natural beauty. When you walked this part of the property after purchasing it and laid out what you wanted to do, I was lost because I couldn't see it. I'm so glad you've brought us along for the journey and it has been a fun ride. Thank you for sharing it.

    Even though you have not "disturbed" the roots. The natural forest floor mulch has been removed and stone and driveway compaction has probably been pretty detrimental. . I would outline a good area for the tree, add some landscaping timbers around it and add a good 6" layer of aged compost as well as a soaker hose for awhile. Trees depend on the mycelium and rich biological activity in the soil, they aren't happy with dry compacted soil getting their toes run over.

  • @donnamullins2089
    @donnamullins2089 9 часов назад

    I vote mulch! As usual the dirt work is top notch. Such a beautiful setting to spend some time resetting your internal clock. Thank you Chris. Love the hum of the mini. Good video.
    If you do any stained concrete outside and want it to look natural try a light dusting of rock salt while it is curing. Makes a beautiful somewhat natural stone look then stain in a color that compliments your soil. Trust the process 19 years and holding.
    Thanks for the rain. Nice peaceful rain since 4am and most of the day. Another round starting later tonight. Texas needs every drop.

  • @GailBrum

    Chris, I continue to be amazed at how you manage to put every grain of dirt exactly where you want it. About the patch in front of the deck; how about some stepping stones or pavers with some small ground covering plants. The kind that doesn't need trimming but spreads out nicely around the stepping stones?

    Cabin is looking absolutely amazing Chris.
    I'd suggest grass where you put the top soil.
    Mulch will float and spread in the direction of water flow then require to be racked or shoveled back in place.
    Plus grass doesn't derade over time and have to be replaced.
    An rechargeable mini mower would be all you'd need to mow that small an area.

    Chris that oak tree probably does not like the compaction of traffic after all it's life in the woods. Maybe put up some blockers to keep traffic off so it can recover for a while and pump some water up from the lake to it on occasion til it gets back to healthy. I know it rained but we have had a really dry year this summer. Your idea of a cabin is ten times nicer than any place I ever lived.

    I'm not an arborist by any means, but you can probably buy some type of fertilizer and put around the base of that tree as a precaution. My driveway is lined with PinnOak trees and back in 2008 I had some sort of a hornet looking things drill into two of them and I had to remove the trees and the soil so they would not hurt the other trees. I was sick! Those trees were thousands of dollars to get replaced to be similar size since they were planted in 1990. A guy gave me something to settle the rest of the trees. Basically I have been no help! lol
