Grrrr totally forgot to add the plant names lol. I will find the tags and add the names under this comment if your curious lol sorry
And y’all knocked it out of the ball park. It looks so beautiful and inviting. Great job it sure made the house look so beautiful the bricks look so vibrant against the black mulch
Hibiscus🌺, Codiaeum (Croton), Heptapleurum (Parasol Plant), Carex(Japanese Sedge)...I am sure I forgot a few😊.
Those are called houseplants where I live! Looks Great😍
That hibiscus is beautiful! Girl, sit down and put your feet up!😂
Looks fantastic. Do you have seasol over there? It reduces plant shock after replanting, the plant you moved looks like it needs some. Cambrian, you need a big wide brimmed sunhat.
The crotons will get pretty large.
Everyone needs a Bobby and Cambriea in their life 😊
Absolutely!!!💯💯💯
Yard work is hard work and holy moly, you guys knocked it out!
So much work but also so worth it
The value of curb appeal is just wild! You guys knocked it out of the park! That space is beautiful!
I'm not sure about Florida, but in Indiana, you would've increased your property taxes by quite a bit. I too use cardboard under the mulch.
Your home is beautiful inside and out.
Looks fabulous! I ALWAYS use cardboard, not weed barrier. The cardboard actually decomposes, adding organic material to the soil. FYI: I always loosen the roots around plants before planting since usually they are root bound in the pots. If roots aren’t loosened, the plant will not be able to get all the nutrients and will die. As a professional landscaper, I have found that this is usually why plants don’t survive when I check out clients’ plantings. If you notice plants not doing well, I suggest you dig them up and loosen the roots. Don’t throw them out! GREAT job overall!
Beautiful front yard. Kudos.🎉
It looks totally fabulous what a beautiful upgrade to the exterior of your home... I would put edging between the grass and the mulch to avoid cross over of the grass and making it easier for Bobby to trim the grass.
You two did a fabulous job with the landscaping. The house looks totally different now. I absolutely love your choice of plants.
Cedar shutters would look amazing and also wrapping the column in cedar would tie it together. The landscaping looks so great! ❤
not with that brick color --that pinkish/reddish tone and cedar orange/yellow will clash.
Love the new landscaping ❤and the sitting space 😍
Thank you. We have been really enjoying it
Cambriea. One time I got so sunburned that I needed to go to the doctor but I had no insurance so I called the ER and begged for help over the phone which they are not allowed to do but this one guy helped me♥️. He said even if I went to the ER this is what to do. Get some CLEAR aloe vera gel. You can put on as much as you want no limit for safety and you can even keep it in the refrigerator to keep it cold feeling. He kept repeating to NOT EVER USE THE GREEN GEL. He said the green gel will hurt you and make you sick. I had an extremely bad sunburn that day and kept putting on a lot of CLEAR ALOE VERA GEL. Wow. Wow. Wow. The next morning it was all healed up and no longer painful. I burn easy so I use it all the time now. And an added benefit is that aloe vera gel is very healthy for your skin whether you have a burn or not. I love it. I keep a bottle in my refrigerator always now. Just remember only clear NO GREEN. Very cheap at Walmart. You will love it. Love you guys
when we were stationed in Hawaii, my exhusband was extremely burned. The nurses at the Naval hospital told us to use white vinager on WHITE TOWELS to lay on the burned areas. It did wonders for taking the heat out of his skin!
Please thank Bobby for his service!! What a great transformation please take time to enjoy u both!!!
So pretty! You might consider putting in metal edging between the grass and the mulch to keep the edge crisp. It’s easy to trim then.
Stunning transformation. Take it easy girl. No more heavy lifting!!!!!!
Please be careful , you work way to hard. We care about you. Love your videos. 💖
Looks so good, I’m sure you’re enjoying that new space!
It looks amazing, you both did an amazing job! You may want to put an edging between the mulch and the grass to prevent the grass from encroaching into your mulch and the big plant you moved will need a lot of water as you can see its in shock (droopy leaves) and give it a regular feed and it will be back to normal in no time! Now girl you and Bobby relax and enjoy your pregnancy!!❤
I was going to say the same thing about the edging! 😂
I believe I would have moved that bush by the garage door on front by the end of the house, so it wouldn’t obscure your view out your picture window. Looks amazing.
You and your husband did a beautiful job!
Girl you did that in your sandals like a pro!
Sweetie, just a little tip to save money. Your local city dump site has free compost and Mulch. I now save a lot of money...
Our city dump compost and mulch had a lot of weeds in it. If I catch the mulch on sale like the 5/$10, I will buy it.
Ours does not sadly
Hi Cambriea it turned out gorgeous you both worked so hard,I think a few little solar lights along the path would be lovely there are so many now to choose from have a lovely week.😊
I love the addition of the rocks to fill in spots. Good call!
Your daughter is just so darling! It makes me miss my granddaughters when they were that age! 🥰 You’re such a hard worker. Great job! -Susan
5 days! That is a miracle and so beautiful. Great design! You are pros! Congratulations.😊
Adding potting soil before planting would ve helped the plants thrive better! Also breaking up the roots a little.
I love EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DID🤗 it’s stunning and it was a family effort 😊beautiful 🙏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🤗👏🏾
Landscaping looks great and by the way the color of the house looks just fine it’s such a pretty pop color I love it❤👍🏻
Your yard looks absolutely beautiful! I have always done my own yard work and landscaping. It is therapy to me. I live in an active neighborhood where families are out walking and riding their bikes. I have had people stop and tell me I have one of the prettiest yards on the street. You should see how amazed they are when I tell them I do my own yard work. My state is still having some cold days, but after watching you two, I cannot wait to get back out into my yard. Once again, you did an amazing job on your yard. Have a wonderful week, friends!
Thanks for sharing how you went about the makeover. Everything is looking so beautiful and you did a great job refreshing this area and putting so many beautiful plants and shaded areas in just to sit and relax and the beautiful garden. Thanks for sharing.
I also use cardboard as a weed barrier. I also go to a local grocery store and liquor store to get free boxes. Thank you for the brick idea for a patio. We are going to do something like that for our patio. And a walkway from our side area to our front. I absolutely love what you did. Wow! Only 5 days. Its going to take me a year or so to do ours as we are a tad older. We have to take lots of breaks. At the moment we are trying to rid our backyard of darn blackberries. Both larger and baby ones. Thanks for sharing this with us. Great job!
Looks amazing!!!! I absolutely love the look of mulch as well. I feel like it makes the plants really stand out. Looks so clean and fresh! 😊
Black Shutters on you front window would look nice with the black mulch! Landscaping turned out really nice and yes it back breaking work! But worth it!
What a difference. You both have done a great job. 🎉
Another thing you may want to do is start adding some ground cover in the mulch areas. Just be careful not to get invasive plants. I had a beautiful lime green gr. cover that started to take my entire landscaping & also started in our grass in the 1st spring season. I had to did it up to remove the roots before i got it to stop. It took 2 years to totally remove it. Since then we have used various succulents like hens& chickens in different colors. They spread nicely, tolerant the heat. Gr. covers will eventually remove the need for mulch. Some even produce small flowers.
Oh my goodness I love this thank you for telling us how to do it God bless you both 🙏❤️
The landscaping looks fabulous! The plants will grow and fill in with time! Love the rocks!🪴🌳🌴🌿🪴
Great job you two! You work together so well. Enjoy that labor of love!!
Wow! What a difference, looks beautiful!
💙💙💙WOAH......what a difference! A labor of love was done! Simply BEAUTIFUL 😍!💙💙💙
That turned out amazing! Now relax and enjoy❤
Love how it turned out. Made a huge impact on the look.
Amazing transformation! The sitting area looks so much bigger than it did before. I would live that in my yard.
You are one hard worker! Making effort to offer ideas on saving time and money super appreciated! Like your little helper too she was really working hard right beside you...and barefoot too😊
Wow, everything looked so amazing and I cannot believe it was just you and your husband doing all that work! You are now my new hero!
The only thing I think maybe you could add is maybe a bird bath or a water feature but everything else I would say it's perfect. Beautiful job!!!
Great transformation! Thanks for sharing, Cambriea, Bobby & Freya ❤
Beautiful job. Love the mix of natural stones along the walkway! You definitely saved so much doing it yourself, but do think that if you can afford it, the professional will do an even longer lasting job. They are worth what they ask for if they are true professionals. Love that you have the sprinkler system to keep the grass and plants alive! Love how well you two work together as a couple.
Just Beautiful!!!! Thank you for sharing your tips too!!!!
Turned out beautiful! A lot of hard work and it paid off! ❤
I thought grandma couldn’t live by herself anymore and she was going into a nursing home if she didn’t move in with you.
So it wouldn’t really be living alone. Think of it more like a mother in law’s suite off the house. So she would still have 24hr care but also her own space if that makes sense
Oh, gotcha. I misunderstood…sorry.
It's beautiful!! Congratulations on the new additions to your family! Praying for all the best!❤
Wow! Love the transformation. I’m so glad you are keeping the brick natural. Your home has a beautiful variation of color in the brick. Definitely freshen up the trim and cedar shutters would look beautiful. ❤
Wow! It’s so nice! The seating area looks perfect! ❤
Looks so good and very comfortable. Beautiful
I love what you did to your yard it looks so beautiful and be careful you work so hard in everything you do. Thank your husband for his service my son is a veteran also. Love watching both channels continued blessings to your family.
I think it is so satisfying to know you did things yourself.
Love it! Sweat equity is always worth it. So many ideas for our yard. Such a transformation.❤❤
Nailed it! So much inviting curb appeal!
Turned out so beautiful!! Awesome job
Beautiful job guys Love it, simple but very elevated and classy. Cambria, I agree with you on the shutter idea. I think now the Black trim and shutters would be the icing on the cake with the black mulch and accents it will be beautiful. It will compliment the red brick so well. White may be a harsh contrast at this point, rather than a complimentary feature. Definately Black trim. IMO. No matter what you'll pull it together you go girl~
Hi guys. Oh my gosh, wow!!!!!! I love doing yard work, and I'm in love with how yours turned out! I have brick on the front of my house, and now I know what color of mulch thanks to you to use. Like I've always said, any projects you two do turn out so amazing. ❤. All I can say is WOW WOW WOW WOW, what a huge difference. BEAUTIFUL❤!!!!!! I know how much pleasure you Allport will get sitting outside there because I know I would. Enjoy, and have a great week, and I will see you Friday. Now, young lady take it easy❤❤
Just beautiful!!❤
Cambria, I love what you and Bobby did with the landscaping. In VA when we do a patio, we would put sand first and then the bricks. Once the bricks were in place , you would add more sand to the cracks. Either way what you guys did is beautiful.
Great job. I think you were such an expert at putting that cardboard down. I put some pavers down and used a sand like consistency product that you sprinkle with water between the cracks. I would find the mulch a problem when it rains or gets wet. I think you would have to put the brick pavers closer together if you used it though. I am 76 and my daughter just bought a house last winter and she is letting me landscape the front and back yard. She had a long walkway from the driveway to the front door and around the front of the house with small white marble rocks at least 6 inches deep. I put an ad on Craigslist and 3 different guys came and took all of it. I put topsoil down and will be planting boxwood so I can hedge them eventually. I also have a huge project in the back yard. The back has tons of area with river rock which she hates but I cannot get rid of all of it. A raised garden bed has to be removed which is at least 10x20 and I will move it all towards the fencing and make a berm and plant in it. Plants and trees are so expensive it is going to take a while to get the look I want. Mostly all perennials and evergreens as my daughter hates yard work and gardening and I won't be around forever to maintain it. This will be my 4th house I have totally landscaped. Two were mine, one my son's and now my daughter. It is my passion, so I am so happy they let me do this for them.
Oh it looks amazing!
WOW There are no words just WOW
Gorgeous!!! I love the added rocks!! Black mulch is my favorite.
Beautiful. Make sure and go around your mailbox to bring it all together. I love your concrete creatures. Adorable! You guys sure are hard workers. God bless
Blessings be to you and your family. Beautiful space 👍🙏❤️
Bobby Thank you for your service y’all deserve way more that 10%!
Beautiful, you both did great. 💖

Totally love it!❤
Wow! What a fantastic transformation! Your front yard looks beautiful! I'm glad you decided to keep the bricks natural, they are so pretty the way they are! The flowers are gorgeous! You will get so much enjoyment out of your seating area! Little Freya is so cute! 😂❤ I was a redhead before my hair turned white, and I used to get terrible sunburns! 😳 You and Bobby worked so hard ~ now you can relax and enjoy your front yard, and watch those cool cars and motorcycles go by! 😂💕🌷🩷
You and Bobby are a great team and do beautiful work. I love the color of your brick and would keep it. You have a beautiful home and should be very proud of what you and Bobby have done in such a short amount of time. I cant believe its almost 2 years already! Love your channel...
Beautiful transformation.❤
Blown away by this! Amazing!

Beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing
Just beautiful. You should be so proud if your hard work. Now time to enjoy..❤
Absolutely beautiful!
Just lovely!
It looks incredible! Excellent job and what a beautiful transformation!
Thank you! Needed to see a little deeper into myself. I say that most situations are more about perspective than the actual situation. But then I need the reminder as well😊
I would suggest a white fence panel, tall or short, to hide the metal pipe and utility meter on the right side of the garage. Not only would it hide the pipes but would be a great background for the colorful plants you planted there. Would also tie to the mailbox.
You did a great job ! Very nice! I like the plants so much and you did not overdo it!
Wow! What a transformation! Looks great! Sure was a lot of work!. Now you can enjoy it! 🥰
Everything look so beautiful
It looks absolutely amazing! Love the layout and plant choices! All of it looks great!! 😊❤
It all turned out great!
I think you and Bobby did a great job!! It looks fresh and colorful. A fun space to hang out in.
