    Oh meant to say that the wall turned out super amazing and really changed the look of the house. When you mentioned red maple my first thought was, 'will it clash with the red bricks?' then, 'is that too close to the house for a tree?' Can you grow Esperanza’s where you live? The yellow blooms would be a nice contrast & the size is easily managed. Can’t wait to see the next video of this project.

    Best part of the video IMO is you saying you're not that good at setting a level first row of blocks but then it all comes together perfectly. I've done a couple of similar projects on my property and I used the same method: try your best with the base layer, but then just hit the blocks with a deadblow hammer until they're level, checking like 100 times per block just to make sure. It's really comforting to know that I'm not alone. Gives me a lot of confidence.

    I liked the addition of the music - that wind was fierce. You put a nice gentle curve in a flower bed so it will be easy to mow around, and I would take it out and around the AC unit unless you intend to cover that up with some sort of screen. I prefer mulch in my flower beds. When I bought this house the prior owner had put white marble stones around the base of two pine trees and it was a disaster, impossible to keep clean looking from the non-stop shedding of pine cones and small twigs from those pines. Mulch can just be raked out and replaced for a fresh clean look, or even just add an extra layer on top and clean out the following spring.

    • @TopNotchLawns

    If you're still wondering which tree to plant on the end, I would suggest a 'Slender Hinoki Cypress' tree. It grows to less than 12' and 2' wide. It has a kind of whimsical look. The dark green would stand out from the red brick front unlike a Japanese maple and those can get quite a spreading root system. Just a thought.

    I recommend beds that are only as wide as your arms can reach the back to pull out the weeds and pick the flowers 💐.
    I love the stone from the flower bed with the red brick and the green so much. Maybe try to get some bushes that will hide the yellow brick that does not look as good.

    I love Japanese Maples. I have mulch just remember if you use Mulch don't put down landscape fabric because the mulch turns into soil and the weeds just go threw the fabric. We made that mistake and had to dig it all out and start over again. It looks nice. Can't wait to see it all done. Good luck and God bless you all.

  • @stevennguyen4993
    @stevennguyen4993 2 года назад

    As someone who just spent so much time pulling out overgrown spireas and all of the landscape fabric they were attached to, I am personally not a fan of landscape fabric. Not only does it get heavy with years of mulching with weeds and roots trying to grow over through it, but it's also difficult to add plants to landscapes (or replace them) when these covers are used. Other than shrubs, I wouldn't bother growing herbaceous perennials in them. Annuals are also out the window for the most part. But that's the gardener side of me.
    On another note, this is an inspiring job done. It's surprising how a job like this can elevate the face of the home.

    @alisonshanahan9529 2 года назад

    A Japanese maple, especially a small one, would be very pretty. Mulch with fine needle bark, it gradually breaks down and improves the soil, you'll need to redo it every year. Stones are difficult to plant around, they can get very hot and burn the plants in Summer. Check with the garden centre as to what grows well locally. Take a walk around your area, see what's growing in your neighbourhood.
