Having had my garden landscaped 12 months ago, trust me when I say you saved yourself way more than £15k. Fantastic job, well done! 😀
Thankyou 🙂 hope you enjoy yours
wow £15k? Do you have a big garden?
@@JC-qf1jd yes, I live on a corner plot on a hill and I had my front garden which wraps around the front and side going all the way to the end of my back garden completely changed. It was steeply sloped so I had it reconstructed onto 3 levels. I also used sleepers horizontally but I had them embedded into my lawn so I can walk from one level to the next while cutting the lawn with my mower. Top level is flower beds, middle all lawn, lower a mixture of both lawn and flower beds. Plus footpath from garden gate and driveway. Because of the expense it was done in stages but well worth it. I get many compliments on how unusual it is having the sleepers rise out of the lawn and then sink back into the lawn the other side of the house. I chose a landscaper I knew well, he was quite expensive compared to others in my area but I knew he did exceptional work. 🙂

Wow what a huge transformation and a lot of back breaking work! What a wonderful place to relax. And for those who complained there wasn't any gardening, he did say planting to follow. Not everyone wants the work of tending and weeding huge gardens, please show us the finished project after you plant. I can't wait to seenthe rest!😊
Thank you 😃 plants were added this year.
Top notch work. It's especially nice to see the French drain and that you left a small strip of gravel right next to the house. Shows that you understand the drainage of a sloped yard. The remodel itself is great, but those details mean that it'll still look like that 20 years from now. Great job!
Thats very kind of you. Really pleased to see people noticing the effort that has gone in to the details.
Magnifique exemple de ce qu'il est possible de faire avec un terrain a forte pente et à faible surface. C'est très juste...
My back hurts just watching you do this. So inspiring.
😁
I’m speechless….WOW!!! Congratulations!!!!!!
Thank you 🙂 very kind of you
I've watched countless makeover videos. This one, ranks number one ! Fantastic transformation.
Thats very kind of you
That tracked wheelbarrow makes me jealous! Also, I loved the footage of the truck scooping up the bricks lol. Nom, nom, nom
I respect the amount of hardwork you have put into this.
Thank you
wow, you guys have done a remarkable job! Must be so much more satisfying looking at the yard knowing youve done it yourselves
Thank you, absolutely, real sense of achievement. The bbq’s taste much nicer 😁
Absolutely incredible ! Looks beautiful … what I love is that you have seeded real grass and not that crap fake rubbish ! Also doesn’t look like those tacky “Love Island” make overs … this is a proper garden
I think this has to be the best compliment ever 😁👍🏻 Much appreciated, thank you. I have the exact same view point
@@DIYJourney1 wow love what you did there... my only tentative thought is : did all that lovely topsoil go to a good home?!
The top soil removed was not good. The good stuff was saved for levelling the lawn. However the good stuff was taken away to be screened for reuse for someone else
@@DIYJourney1 oh that is good news, glad the better stuff was reused it looked lovely and loamy. Fantastic job you did there, I bet you're getting stuck into planting now. 👍👏
Definitely needs some type of flowers to set this off! Roses! 🥰
Great job!
Built to last , great workmanship, amazing transformation. One of the best I have seen .
Thank you for your kind words. Really great to hear from someone who has noted the efforts and engineering behind the work done. Very much appreciated, thank you.
Gold medal guys. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That tracked wheelbarrow thingy was cool. I've never seen one before. A real back saver.
Absolutely saved a huge amount of work, especially considering the tight access
It's a lot of hard work done by you guy's, but man! the feeling of pride you must have in yourselves, having done such a good job. Well done Sir!
Thank you for the kind words. It certainly does, it makes the BBQ’s taste much nicer 😁
The patio drainage details, and 'french drain' around the house made me very happy :) Looking great - enjoy the plants when they arrive!
Wow…..the vision to see the finished product with what you started with is amazing. The patience and attention to detail are traits that I do not have, but can appreciate. Well done.
Thank you, very kind words
Nice job!
4:47 Women stood around nattering, men busy grafting 😂
🤣🤣🤣
WOW now that’s a transformation ! Absolutely beautiful.
Very kind of you, thank you
Astonishing.
Thank you
That is just absolutely glorious. Hats off to you all. 🤛
Thank you 👍🏻🙂
What a beautiful job
Thank you
Superb inspiration for my tiny back garden plot! I shall try a miniature version, with my son doing the heavy lifting!
Great job! One of you must be an engineer and one a landscape architect. You saved a fortune and have something to be very proud of for many years. 👍
Thank you, we certainly are proud.
haha both engineers, however one is a retired road transport engineer and Im a electrical engineer in the rail industry, maybe its the thinking process that helped us
Really nice work guys!
Excellent hard landscaping. Now needs some equally awesome planting 🌳🌻🌺
An absolute monster makeover.....
Im still tired now 😃
I bet you both are tired, DIY journeymen. It was one heck of a project, love the grassy steps too..have fun planting up borders etc, looks fabulous
Fantastic effort, lads. I hope the weather lets you enjoy the fruits of your labour for many years to come. Well done!
Very kind thank you 🙂
Wow, that is very skill full work with the machinery. I have to congratulate you on a very professional job. If a job is worth doing it is worth doing well. 100% admiration.
Thank you
Impressive. Very impressive.
Thank you 🙂
wow, what a lovely transformation 👍
Thank you 😃
All I can say is wow! You all did a fantastic job, lots of work involved, but you guys did great!
As someone who loves a project, I was mesmerised by this video. If only it was so fast🥴Fabulous job. Congratulations 👏
Thank you, there is the full series of videos showing the detail in my playlists.
Well done men fantastic job ❤️🏴
Thank you 🙂
Wow! Absolutely beautiful! Can't possibly say more.
Thank you 🙂
Sensational job fellas
Thank you 🙂
All I can say is WOW. What a fantastic Job.
Very kind thank you
Incredible workmanship
Very kind thank you 🙂
I particularly like the grass steps
Wowzers. Beautiful work boys 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Ignore the (massively outnumbered) negative bridge-dwellers. They can go and renovate their own gardens to suit their own tastes and needs. You state quite clearly at the end that planting is to follow, so not sure why they're banging on about lack of plants. 🙄
Sometimes people make me despair 🤦🏾♀️
🤣🤣 This has the be the best comment ever. Thank you for taking the time to thoroughly watch the video and acknowledge its current state, but also appreciate the effort so far, it really is appreciated.
You are always welcome on my channel 👍🏼
You fellas done an awesome job
Thank you very much 🙂
Bravo
Nice job lads. I usually skip through these type of video's but this one was a pleasure to watch. 👏
Thank you, very kind words
Wow
Outstanding job, well done!
Thank you 🙂
Beautiful job and a beautiful yard! I hope it brings you and family much joy in the coming years.
Very kind of you, thank you
❤😮wowww.....a messy jungle turned neat N fabulous😊
Must be beautiful English garden with flowers & greenery😊
Hats off to you guys, that was an insane amount of work for two people. Top job as well.
Thank you 🙂
WOW, you guys are professionals. I wish I had a dad and a brother like you both to complete all DIY I need done in my place. Wish you much success in your DIY journey.
I forgot to say that the railway slippers look great as retention wall.
Very kind of you, thank you
Great job. Wow
What a wonderful transformation, all your hard graft paid off. Bravo Sir's
Very impressive! What a brilliant transformation!
Thank you
Unbelievably AWESOME!
Thank you 🙂
Amazing! So much more useable, and those accent lights along the wall are stunning.
Thank you, thats exactly what we was hoping to achieve, a balance of patio space, and lawned area
great work, like all the levels, lucky to have a skilled ol' man to help.
What a fantastic transformation! Well done
Thank you 🙂
Beautiful as anything
Love the music!!
The motorized wheel-barrow thing... how come I didn't know those things existed before??? Great job, wow!
Unbelievable amount of hard work with beautiful results, congratulations! A job very well done, kudos!
Very kind words thank you
Absolutely stunning!!
Gorgeous 😍
Can't wait to have my own place and be able to make it my own like you lot have, this is beautiful and you should be proud!
Thank you, we are. All the best with finding your own place
Terrific 🤩
Fantastic job you both did 👍
Thank you
Stunning…hard work but worth it
Thank you 😃
The amount of hard labour that you have put in does credit to you.I love the split level garden and the way you have created the steps. That patio area! Actually I am blown away by this.My garden is very different to yours.I have high trees on two sides that are a haven for local bird life but outside my garden,and my neighbours gardens, the surrounding area consists of an industrial estate.My trees give me privacy and hidden awayness, if there is such a term, that is quite magical to me.
Choose your plants carefully please.Scents are wonderful.Honeysuckle attracts bees.Things like that.I do envy you your lawns but I know the amount of work that goes into them to keep them neat and I am lazy.I have transformed my paths and patio with welsh state and I had to rebuild my patio in order to do it.One man and stubbornness.. Enjoy your garden.It deserves you.
Thank you, much appreciated
It’s f…ing awesome! Good plan, good job!👍👊😀
Thank you very much 🙂
Amazing work!
Fantastic job well done lot of hard work there
Thank you 🙂
You guys really know what you are doing!
Thank you 🙂
Wow! What a difference! I imagine your property value got a nice boost also. Excellent work! Excellent!
Thank you 🙂 I do hope so
Very satisfying to watch!
After the nightmare yard renovation I witnessed the other week this video is a breath of fresh air.
Thank you
Did something similar to this myself, years ago, so I know how much graft you had to put into this. Great job.
Thank you, hope your enjoying yours
BEAUTIFUL!!!! I LOVE IT!!♡♡♡
Absolutely brilliant! Well done
Thank you
Top notch great job
Wow! That is absolutely beautiful! Well done on a superb job!
🙂 Thank you
Absolutely amazing transformation !!!
Wow! Utterly sublime 👍
Top job.
Thank you 😃
This was awsome. I'm very amazed what you have achieved, only by the two of you. I especially liked, that you preserved the tree-stumps.
Your work also shows, what quite often is so true: If you want something done right, then do it yourself!
Very kind words, great to here others appreciating the effort. It was hardwork and a lot of thought but ultimately ended up with what we wanted and was affordable.
Men! Wonderful garden and a truly professional work! Best regards!
Very kind thank you
Amazing!
Thank you 🙂
Stunning transformation, a very good job!
Thank you 🙂
Fantastic and inspiring video - thanks for sharing. It is clear you are professional from the skills you display and the fine quality of the work. I am looking forward to another post showing the planting!
Ill take that as a great compliment thank you, hoping you mean professional by how we applied the delivery, as this certainly is not our profession. Really appreciate it, thank you.
@@DIYJourney1 if you are not professionals you did a first class job and must have added a fortune to the value of your lovely property. I would hire you any day. Good luck with your amazing garden.
Wow‼️
That was impressive :)
Best Part at 4:45: still time for a little talk.
Great job guys! 👍🏼
Beautiful.....Thank you !!!
Wow just wow!!
Thank you 🙂
Beautiful work! I personally prefer a lush garden but totally understand the need for a serene usable yard area.
Plants are to come…unfortunately money doesn’t grow on them
Great job and very impressive. Gives me the thought I should do my own myself rather than get a landscaper. I thought the design went really well with the house. Well Done!
Thats very kind of you, it can be worth the attempt, my advice is plan and research as much as possible.
Im really pleased you noted the design to be in keeping with the surrounding environment
Wow. Love it so far.
Great job! It looks wonderful!
Thank you
Awesome work. I am always amazed at how people let homes get in such horrible shape. And can't comprehend building a nice stone house with a yard set up like this. And such a small yard too. Beautiful job there.
Thank you, I find it strange also, this isn’t a small “yard”/garden in the UK, 170m2 is considered a reasonable fairly normal size.
Beautiful!
Stunning.
Thank you
Hats off ❤
Thank you
