This was my first time shooting a video with another crew. The customer was outside the whole time and I didn't want to slow them down. If I seemed rushed, you are correct. I have more of these planned and I hope to shoot them better in the future. Joseph would be a good person to work with in the Triangle area. Thanks for watching and following the channel.
Such a great job. The evolution of your channel is exciting to experience. Much love and respect from SE Michigan (Ypsilanti) Zone 5. I just bought a T, too!
Love learning more about plant design. Seeing how to turn a blank area into a beautiful garden bed is A+ content. Will try the "repeat a member from the plant group on the other side" idea in my yard soon. Thanks so much Jim
Big shout out to small landscapers that actually do a job right! I see SO many poor installations that it's nice to see a well done one. Great choices of plants too. Bed edging makes a huge difference in the finished look. This bed really compliments the house & will give the homeowner something nice to come home to. Well done crew!
Would it be possible to film a follow up video? I would love to see how it all grows together over time 😊 I love cluster planting so much better than rows. This is a nice change up.
Love the idea of carrying items from side of bed to the other. We just finished our driveway bed and I am going to go and move a few plants around after seeing this.
Jim I planted my entire garden after watching ur videos. I have clay soil, I killed all my plants initially. Watched ur videos, every plant I planted is healthy 😀
Your choice of music is excellent. I watch about six different gardeners and they all have unrealistic expectations for the regular homeowner. It’s nice to see all the different kinds of plants and flowering shrubs but most people can’t have their entire front and backyard planted like you, Laura & that gal in Oklahoma. That’s why these one day landscaping job videos are so realistic and helpful. I still enjoy the totally landscaped front and backyard videos but this is more like what I could do myself and that’s very helpful.
I’m so glad you mentioned carrying plants over to the other side! I’ve been redoing some beds up front and had this thought but wasn’t confident in my idea. Thanks again, it’s always great to see your videos!
Love the advice. I struggle with making landscaping look intentional, but don't want to lay rows. Great advice on using odd numbers and clustering in triangles. Thank you!
This was great! Please do more of these. They are very helpful. In this flowerbed I like how you didn't do straight line planting. I also like how you carried the yellow color to both ends. Great job!🤗
California 9b here and I get so much out of your videos. We've recently pulled everything out and had the yard regraded. We are now laying out the new garden beds, which I've never done before. This was so helpful.
Thank you for posting about planting in clay soil. Here in Arkansas, newer housing has very little topsoil and lots of red clay. I have been worried about my new plants, but was encouraged to see the amendments you were adding to the soil to help improve it. Look forward to seeing the foundation bed later in the season. Enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the trench idea. I was having difficulties keeping my mulch from spilling outside of my flower bed. Digging a trench in front of my strip edging should keep my bed tidy. Always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Thanks for the explanation of placing the plants and for the good visual of how high up you have them in the clay soil. Very helpful for our clay here in Alabama.
This was really helpful! I enjoyed seeing the crew "fuss" over the plants toward the end of the work, making sure they looked just right. Really, really helpful tip to carry over a grouping with a single plant. I would not have thought of that, but I can see now where that is a good technique and also allows for more diversity (versus planting another grouping).
This is great information. My front area is rectangular like this one, and I planted things in a row. It's been bugging me ever since, and now I know why. Summer is approaching quickly along the Gulf Coastal Plains, so I'll wait until the fall to redesign what I have.
This was so helpful! I have a house in Durham and was wondering what to do with the area by our home's foundation. A few questions: - Did you slope the ground away at all from the foundation? - Did you use any landscape fabric or cardboard for weed control? - Do plants need to be a certain amount of feet away from the home's foundation?
I like it! Not your typical boring foundation shrubs and plants...lots of variety, color, and size. I think you gave the homeowner just enough that she can handle, and she should be able to grow into this nicely, with some added summer annuals for a punch. Good job once again. Jim, I have a question, please: I'm in zone 8a coastal Virginia Beach, what do you do with snapdragons planted in the Fall (that are still blooming profusely), do you cut them back or pull them out once they fizzle out? Thanks in advance.
I’m so glad you show and talk about other brands of plants. I’m so over getting Proven Winners pushed so hard on RUclips. There are tons of other plants out there that people would love to know about besides what PW sells.
Well what are those other brands doing for visibility? So far proven winners and southern living are doing rhe work and their plants are great too so...a 🤷🏽♀️
This is manageable, but it is also a very nice look. At first I thought those loropetalum would cover the house in a year, but this must be a different type.
I love carex, question for you. Do you cut it to the ground in the winter? My everillo always has the tattered leaves or blades mixed with the pretty new growth
I noticed you didn't scratch the root ball. Are there 2 schools of thought on that practice - scratch or no scratch? Nice job - I go to your channel for ideas when I get a design slump.
I've watched about 3 of your One Day Landscaping videos. I have only heard your reference the sun pattern in one so far. What is the sun pattern in this video? I really love your choice of plants in this bed. I'm hoping this is an eastern exposure house with part sun. Thanks!
Great video! Thanks for the tips. We also live in the Raleigh area. When planting these sort of shrubs/ boxwoods how much do you have to consider the placement in regards to water pipes/ gas lines?
Looks awesome! I’m having a problem with my Sunshine Ligustrum, how can I send pics of it to get your opinion? A lot of the leaves have falling off or been eaten, also I noticed a lump of something down on a stem, it was brown- actually looked like a “turd”. I’d really appreciate any help I could get. Thank you!
I like the idea of staggering things and not having them in a line. However I often struggle with that and my placement looks too boring. Thanks for the ideas.
Why add hardwood mulch so close to house? Here in GA termites are terrible! They have eaten a birdhouse of mine- not close to house but still why risk it? Love your videos
I have a bed about the same shape I am just getting started on. I'm in west central ga . Red clay everywhere. We pulled 25 year old big box woods out and are removing all the roots. This bed had been mulched so many times was over a foot and a half above the sidewalk. We are digging down to about 4 inches below the sidewalk and adding a brick border. And plan on adding new topsoil. I have 4 white wedding hydrangeas and 2 dwarf alberta spruce for the foundation plants. I want to keep the soil level a little lower than the bricks. My other half wants to mound it up all across the bed. I see you have mounded this with a gutter around the edge for mulch to fall into. Do I have to mound it? Doing it all by hand so have time to figure it out.
I notice you do not attempt to remove any of the existing potting medium before planting in the hole. I have learned the hard way that water and roots tend not to move quickly between distinct boundaries with different mediums. Your thoughts?
HELP! I live in Lake Charles La and two days ago we had 15inches of rain. My shredded pine bark mulch was completely displaced to the yard. Any thoughts on how I should collect it and put back in flower beds?
Should the mulch be so close to the foundation? I thought you had to put gravel as a decider to keep bugs out. I want to do this but was told I needed to lay gravel. Could someone please let me know. Thanks

As a homeowner, l would say she was watching out of curiosity! Wouldn’t want you to rush.

Keep up these realistic jobs for the average homeowner. Very helpful.

I love the one day job videos. They help me picture the plants in my yard. Keep 'em coming!
Jim I planted my entire garden after watching ur videos. I have clay soil, I killed all my plants initially.
Watched ur videos, every plant I planted is healthy 😀
Love this down to earth practical video. It's something doable for the home gardener! Would love to see more like this!
Great video…. Really enjoyed seeing the design process in action.
Thank you for showing a "weekend warrior" project. Good info, thanks for sharing.

Great idea! I especially like to hear your train of thought.
Great pointer regarding repeating the planting scheme to the other end of the bed!
I like the 3/1-1/3 pattern. 👍🏼👍🏼
This was very helpful! I like seeing the odd plant placing.
I like the mix of different structures as well as the color of the plants
Great video for the weekend warrior. Thanks Jim for keeping it real.
This was great! Please do more of these. They are very helpful. In this flowerbed I like how you didn't do straight line planting. I also like how you carried the yellow color to both ends. Great job!🤗
Thank you Jim. Really great to watch you do this with the landscapers. Listening to reasons, layout and soil was very helpful.
Love the layout. I'm sure the homeowner was happy!
Really liked this video, more and longer would be great Jim. Keep em coming please.
California 9b here and I get so much out of your videos. We've recently pulled everything out and had the yard regraded. We are now laying out the new garden beds, which I've never done before. This was so helpful.
I love these type of small landscaping jobs. Great idea about carrying over to the other side! Thank you.
This collaboration video is great. Enjoy seeing these small installations come together. Thanks!
I love seeing this small job. Could easily just repeat if one has a longer bed. Especially love the triangulation
More of these please.
Nice. I just put some Stella up front too.
Thank you for posting about planting in clay soil. Here in Arkansas, newer housing has very little topsoil and lots of red clay.

Looks lovely Jim 🥰
I love the layout! Seeing something interesting going into a smallish rectangular bed is so helpful!
Love this landscaping idea!
Thanks for the trench idea. I was having difficulties keeping my mulch from spilling outside of my flower bed. Digging a trench in front of my strip edging should keep my bed tidy. Always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Is it enough to keep the clay from spilling?
Thanks for the explanation of placing the plants and for the good visual of how high up you have them in the clay soil. Very helpful for our clay here in Alabama.
Indeed. Awful excuse for soil here in Shelby Co, So. Either clay or chert.
Yes! More of these videos please. Thank you for showing us it's possible!
Really liked this. Great new ideas! I agree, it’s good to get away from rows of plants. I liked your use of clusters of 3. Helpful as usual!
I love the placement of plants and it looks great Jim. 😊
This was really helpful! I enjoyed seeing the crew "fuss" over the plants toward the end of the work, making sure they looked just right.
Really, really helpful tip to carry over a grouping with a single plant. I would not have thought of that, but I can see now where that is a good technique and also allows for more diversity (versus planting another grouping).
I'm dealing with red clay here in my 7a area, appreciate the tips!
Very nice. Thanks, Jim!
Please do more landscape plantings!
Good to see a smaller bed and good tips for layout. Would enjoy more like this. Just redid a similar bed in front of my house all shade tho
Loved seeing the layout and then the adjustments. I hope we will get to see this as it grows. Thank you for the good info about design!
This is fantastic!! Thank you.
Would love to see this midsummer.
Great job, congrats
Blessings
Look good, nice mix. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
Love these one day projects!!
I love these DIY small jobs for the average homeowner Thank you!
Perfect video! Thanks Jim!
Nice and simple. I like it!
Joseph!!!! This is so awesome. Miss meeting with our plant group, but so great to see you doing awesome things! 😄
Love this, I’m planning on redoing our front foundation this fall and this was very helpful.
Loved this landscape job! Great ideas!
I'd love to see what this looks like at the end of summer and then in a year or two!
Great video thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us
Thank you so much for sharing the information you give a lot of creative ideas and we very much appreciate it.
Thanks for sharing your process. Would love a follow up to see how it looks when the plants are a bit bigger and filled out.

I love the beds when they are freshly planted. I don’t want the plants to grow up. Is that bad? 🤣 So I think it looks great!
Another great tutorial. Thx Jim!
I would be interested in knowing how deep that bed is in order to accommodate the staggered plantings. Very nice!
I pulled out my butterfly bush. It really needed deadheading 3 times a day to look nice.
Thank you for the great tips. I live near Winston-Salem.
Great job!
This is manageable, but it is also a very nice look. At first I thought those loropetalum would cover the house in a year, but this must be a different type.
I love carex, question for you. Do you cut it to the ground in the winter? My everillo always has the tattered leaves or blades mixed with the pretty new growth
Same question.
I noticed you didn't scratch the root ball. Are there 2 schools of thought on that practice - scratch or no scratch?
Nice job - I go to your channel for ideas when I get a design slump.
really like this job!!!
Thank you so much not many gardens with clay soil in which I have a big help Helen U. K
Hi Jim I have a medium sized loropetalum. It's looking a little scraggly leafwise . Do you think it would help to cut it back some?
Definitely!!
@@JimPutnam Great! Thanks!

Will these grow too big for the area? Love the variety

Hi Jim, can we get an update on this landscape? I'd like to see it after a few seasons.
I need this is Ga!!!! My yard looks awful 😢
I like the idea of staggering things and not having them in a line. However I often struggle with that and my placement looks too boring. Thanks for the ideas.
Why add hardwood mulch so close to house? Here in GA termites are terrible! They have eaten a birdhouse of mine- not close to house but still why risk it?

How are those new plants being watered?
Great Video! I’m new to your channel, is there a follow up video on how this turned out?
Beautiful
The clay looks just like mine in central MS, zone 8a/b.
HELP! I live in Lake Charles La and two days ago we had 15inches of rain. My shredded pine bark mulch was completely displaced to the yard. Any thoughts on how I should collect it and put back in flower beds?
Approximately how much did it cost to plant up that area? 💚🙃
Should the mulch be so close to the foundation? I thought you had to put gravel as a decider to keep bugs out. I want to do this but was told I needed to lay gravel. Could someone please let me know. Thanks
Is this a north facing bed? Does it get some afternoon sun?
Awesome
Do you think they’d let you provide an update?
Can ants ruin sweet potato vine and euphorbia in a container. Plenty of water, ants?
Love watching from CLT, NC
Just answered my question
I go outside to water my plants and get distracted and Michael beats me to first, again... or Fitrst.. 🤦🏻♀️
