FINALLY, someone who knows the PROPER WAY TO prune woody branches! Great to see!
Prayer With You: Heavenly Father, Your Son Jesus Christ, born crucified resurrected For us ,Family ,Friends. Forgive Our Sins Give Us Eternal Life. In Jesus Christ's name.Amen
Good lessons for me here. Thank you Ms. Nawada !
Get rid of azaleas that just needed a heavy prune to put in boring boxwoods?
If you're taking the Azaleas out I couldn't understand why you tied it back instead of just pruning off the branches. I'd have pruned it all back, dug it out and then put it somewhere else to grow back - it would come back and be lovely in the next year or so and then you keep pruning it and keep it under control it would be a lovely shrub
You have more leverage to remove the roots if you leave the branches on. It makes it much easier.
So a plant that has survived 50 years is not worth keeping. They were perfectly placed and would have looked magnificent in flower. They just had some dead branches. Replaced by a boxwood! I wonder if the new plants last fifty years. Some old azaleas cannot be found these days. What a shame.
I have cut out about 20 azalea bushes out of my yard. They are a bunch of work to maintain. the previous owner of my house decided to turn them into trees so they cannot hold themselves up under the weight while in flower. They are also SUPER close to the house. Which as we know isnt safe. They are incredibly beautiful though.
Aw those azaleas could've been saved.Azaleas produce pretty flowers
Thost azaleas could have been cut back to almost nothing and It would have been beautiful next year.
I love love love Jen !
Those azaleas should have been saved. I was shocked to see them tossed aside like that.
Yep ,I have a Rose like that ,am attached to it because it was the first Rose in my Garden, now it has like five buds, the end is near
Roger said to the editing crew... "MAAAAAK sure to increase the PAAAAT of the video near the end called color saturation!"
Nice work girls - might have kept the azalea too but like the fact that you are keeping some plants
Should this be done more in the spring - I'm in Michigan and fall weather is way too unpredictable
Well well done wonderful work you are adept I am from Algeria and offer you greetings
I don't understand the reasoning behind saving the hydrangea tree but not the azalea bushes.
As for using existing plants, you have to first get them. Some people's landscapes have nothing yet.
Wow ! Look great.
Wait: Take out green, 4ft *evergreen* Azaleas and replace them with *deciduous* shrubs - on a foundation? Love TOH, and Ask TOH. have followed for years. But as an avid gardener - that was painful.
I'm surprised they didn't point out that the bare-root hostas that got dug up shouldn't just be left lying around in the sun while you're spending hours on other work. This is not good for even tough plants. They can die if they dry out too much.
So do you have to plant them quick or soak in water?
That is so very beautiful.
i learned the scratch test today. woo hoo!
I Don know what part of the country they are in but where I am in central Florida, I can cut my Azaleas back to about a foot high and they come back like gangbusters. I think it's a shame they pulled them out. I guess bare trunk doesn't make for good tv.
mrreoww4840
Mîy
what does gangbusters even mean?!
@@primeno.6487 they come back really quick
Prime No. 6 it means quickly and with a lot of force
Great job! My yard is next; PLEASE!
Will the Boxwood survive the harsh winter weather?
hard work well done
How would you dispose of the old shrub that was dug up?
very good job!
good job to jenn, & they're both kicking butt in this segment.
Has anyone noticed in pretty much every episode the cut aways always come back to them walking into the scene?
Yes indeed
Yes amazing
Can you cut the hydrangea tree on any season? or it has to be cut on a certain season of the year?
Best to do it in the winter. Actually they should have cut it back much further. It blooms on new growth so all the old growth can be cut back to the trunk in March and you'll get fresh growth from the trunk with beautiful blooms in the summer.
I think they had a crew come in and actually dig those azaleas out then the ladies swapped back in towards the end to make it look like they did it.
What, Lol
3:48 "How far down do you go?... Probably like 6 inches!" girl you got some depth!
Wife: I'm definitely a little concerned about the overgrowth.
Husband: Looks fine from here.
Wife: This.....I Just(hands up in exasperation)....I want something new. I kind of want to rip everything out and start fresh.
Husband: Yes Dear...
You don't need to dig a hedge out of the ground. Just wrap a chain around it and pull it out with a truck.
So, are we suppose to dig out a huge bush and place it on a tarp the size of a bath towel?
we get it closer to the hole and then bring it out
Ouch. My back hurts just watching you pull out that azalea!
Couldn’t mow for the reveal? Good segment though
Good. Welcome change from Roger.
If you dig an entire shrub out all at once, you then have a huge and very unwieldy object to deal with. It will not fit into a garbage bin to be taken out with the trash, so you're then going to have to cut it up, and if there's too much to trash at one time, it's going to sit around and look ugly. In the real world, and not a TV program that you're pretending you can do in one day, it's better to gradually cut the thing to pieces, putting them in the trash as you do so. Eventually you'll get to the roots. I speak from experience.
Our you just put out in the back of a pickup and take our to the dump.
awesome
The complete video explains why the azaleas were not saved. They were too old.
The azaleas would have looked beautiful in the spring. It just needed some pruning! Shame
yeah keep it moist.
The azaleas were great, what a stupid thing to do, they could have been pruned as specimen plants.
Their shirts are still dry. Maybe it's not really hot, maybe they don't really sweat, or maybe some other people came in to help dig whenever the camera wasn't rolling.
Or they have a certain fitness level?
I must say I do not agree with some of the decisions made.
I would have kept the azaleas, especially being that large and they were calling it a 50-year-old azalea (based on knowing the history of that house or yard). Maybe a bit of pruning and it should come back with more vigor.
Per Shop I totally agree with you, my grandmother would do a serious prune to her azaleas when she felt it was needed and they would come back with a vengeance.
planting to close to the house same mistake in most of these type videos
Guy goes: you ladies are doing great, just checking to see how everythings going. Don't mind me I'll just sit back here in the shade have a couple of beers take a nap. Phew! It's starting to get a little hot! Let me know if you want any help!!
Here, hold my beer n' watch this...get the pickup truck and a chain. Azaleas no more.
how to wreck your front yard by ripping out 50 year old plants and listening to someone who don't know nothing about gardens
Yes! Non-evergreen Hosta on a foundation? And the boxwood are too close (unless they're already mature). I just cringed...
I'm wondering if it's legit to tie a rope around the lower third of that azalea and yank it out of the ground, like pulling a handful of hair from a person's scalp, with my Ford F-150.
Yep seen it done on some landscaping RUclips channels. Just put it in reverse go slow you should be fine.
Okay, thanks, DR99.
I wish I could find the video for that I saw, but a few landscapers do that because they don't want the cost and hassle of owning something like a skidsteer, but don't want to take the time to dig out a shrub which eats into their profits. I'm sure its there is a good how too on RUclips just not on ToH for legal liabilities.
You might be talking about Keith kalfas of the landscaping employees trap
I've done that with my little hatchback Audi A3 AWD. No problem. Be careful about tire placement / avoid slippage and ruining spots on the lawn. Mine were near the driveway so I slowly angled around and cinched the chain up tight so would start & stop on pavement.
That is how you NOT water your plants! Take a hose a water it under a plant, not on leaves, that is how you promote roting and plant disease. Love those homeowners who would love to have something nice but didn`t even try to learn basics.
Oh my god what a waste of those huge azaleas. This hurt to watch.
what a waste ,you threw away 40 year old azaleas , all you had to do was prune them hard,
Female doing heavy work than the boys lols well done ladies!
She's lucky she teased the roots out of that root ball or I would have been DONE! Do you HEAR ME? DONE!! Maybe I've been watching Roger for too many years. He's says about 5 things and one of them is tease them ruts aaahahahought!
Also I Always water the hole.
how to plant marigolds
4:03 - 4:11
if you would just cut the azaleas back, they would have been so beautiful next year
What a Shame!!! :(
Strong women do some hard work
Meo Erhum
Yes
I was gonna type that
Tough women
6:43 and provide a great view
they are so proud like it's some huge life accomplishment to dig out an azalea 😂🤣😂
wow and no
She looks like Reese Witherspoon from side view
a white chick is always going to sort of look like some famous person
People are very upset about that plant should took out
Eye protection.
raise gard en
Get a truck and a tow strap, those azaleas would have been out in a few minutes.
Brandon Sawyer a little duck tape to patch it up afterwords, clean as duck tape gets
Along with the back window of your truck when the strap lets loose.
Think if we oiled those 2 up they'd wrestle???
The poor ferns
good job with got a female cast

A girl!!!!!!!!! 😳
😃hi sweet girl
50 year old azaleas ... no sense saving those! Boxwoods are sooo much better! NOT! Come on OTH ... this is one of your worst videos ever!
I have Azaleas that have been in my yard that were planted in1935. I just cut them back and I mean cut them. They are a very showy plant now.I wish this old house stick to working on old homes and let people who know garden do what they do best. I have peony plants that came from a garden that was over 100 years old. We save over 95% of the plants and this fool just wants to dump them. She may be a designer but she no a gardener.
Don't use this company .looks like they are after your money
I hope you transplanted those large azaleas as there is absolutely nothing wrong with them that a real gardener couldn't correct easily.
hard work well done
