For a five year later update go to video: "Planting a Huge Drift of Superbena + Urns on Our West Side! " and skip to the urn section. They are now an over 6ft tall fluffy wall.
Hi Garden Answer, if possible, please include a drone overview shot in every monthly tours so its easy to see overall layout. Slow closer drone view of each section will be great. I think the colours as the flowers bloom and each area gets changed or filled out and as the season changes, it will be amazing to see it. Especially for those fans (i.e. me) from the tropics. Thanks!
Oh my goodness! Laura, congrats. I don't know how I missed the original announcement video. So happy for y'all, I was just excited to see the Arborbites going in until you said you were pregnant! Now that's really exciting! Awesome guys, congratulations!!!
I have always loved Arborvitaes. I had to cut one down about 5 years ago that died and I was so sad, my dad had planted it from a baby from his boyhood home, so it had a lot of meaning. The hedgerow is going to look great and hide a lot of not so pretty stuff. I'm so glad you got them in. Good luck with them.
Loved how you showed before pictures of what you were talking about. It gives us a waaay better picture. Great job on the video. Love watching you guys!
Congratulations on knocking down such a huge project! It must be such a relief to not need to worry anymore about all those trees in pots! Watering them enough to keep them alive must have eaten so much time.
LOOKS SO GOOD! 😊 I love my North Pole Arbs, mine don't seem to get wind burn as easily as my basic Arbs. That's going to look awesome with Blue Spruce at the end too! I used compost mulch ontop of my landscape fabric in my butterfly garden, and it broke down so fast that it created a great layer of dirt ontop of the fabric for weeds to grow 😕, but they pull up super easy so nbd... but from now on I'm sticking with with hardwood mulch over fabric! ..still breaks down, just not as fast. .... seriously this looks so great!
This is so funny. I got a friend of mine hooked on your channel and she just asked me on Sunday, "Does she have the arborvitae planted yet?" Lol! Can't wait to tell her 😄
Hi, Laura, Your Living fence is looking great, the guys did a good job, we think you should have rested more but, you micro manage, now is the time to start learning to pace yourself, with garden chores. Thanks for sharing.Blessings
Love videos like this! When your this happy it totally shows! Im not a gardener- i have one east facing window. But when your this happy ill watch u plant anything haha. Congrats girl! They look AWESOME
Well worth waiting five months for ! They look great, you must be relieved that you don't have to keep watering them. But I bet you have plans for many other projects that will need watering. That's half the fun ! The planning and then the final result. Thanks to you both for sharing your garden and dreams with us.
Omg, CONGRATULATIONS on the new bundle if joy coming!!! You both seem very nice and would make great parents, btw you both are adorable as well!!! God bless, and the project turned out beautiful!!!
All the very best to you both with your growing family! Wouldn't it be exciting to see your space, discussed from 11:45 - 13:12, evolve as a small scale food forest while your little boy grows? He could experience it as his own adventure with nature's wonder! It might also inspire neighbors to do the same. (Debby, Mrs. F. here)
Arborvitaes look great and as you said a great choice as a wind break, view blocker, and privacy/cozy hedge. Too bad they dont grow in my sunset zone 9 8( . Bah hum bug. Love the process, keep the videos coming. We so need a show like this here in the U.S. ... like Gardeners World and Gardening Australia. Really agree that HGTV needs to include you on their roster. They really dont have any shows representing gardening for the G in HGTV. And for those in CA. that can garden almost year round it would be great to have more gardening represented in the colder months...like you do. Indoor/outdoor arrangements, house plants, bulbs etc... Congrats on your Baby Boy again!
So how far apart did you plant them ? You showed the stick but didn't give the length . Are you happy with the spacing or would you recommend a wider spacing ? Thanks
This is such a beautiful impact in your garden! I am so excited to see this grow! I think a sunken garden would be magnificent. Basically, I will be waiting patiently for all of these videos in the future. :)
I love it so much! Very excited for you guys! I need to buy some of the landscape fabric! I live in Oklahoma and I swear the weeds here can grow through anything!
Beautiful job , nice to see them in the ground. I see those type of trees at the garden Ctr but they always have different varieties and it's a little overwhelming trying to figure out which ones I should get.
Thuja occidentalis 'Brabant' thats the species name for these,. there is also a darker and more narrow type called smaragd/emerald. but they are not as effective to use in a hedge as they dont fill in that much. brabant grows wide and tall,. they also are effective in keeping weeds away from them, both because they shade out the grass and weeds growing underneat and around them, but also because they drop needles, and small branches that mulches the ground pretty effective in a short time,. We have these around our garden, and they are huge! and we did not need any landscape fabric,. and notting is growing around them, not even ground elder, and dandelions,. its a total dessert under these trees. other thing that is important is they need a lot of water, and they dry up the soil aroundthem pretty fast during the summer,. if these trees dry up, or get sunburned it takes a long long time to bounce back with green growth, and trimming them is also tricky at least, never trim to much and to deep in, it is very hard to get them to look good if you cut to much or to far in to the branches, as cut branches takes forever to heal and regrow,.
wow that hedge is so pretty. i can't wait to see what it looks like as it matures. you should use a few maples in the sunken garden they would look really pretty and they have very nice foliage
They look great! Huge relief to not have to water each one by hand. Can't imagine what your water bill is each month. Maybe you need to see if they want to be a sponsor! Ha Thanks for sharing this huge accomplishment. Have a great day!
Thank you for the fun, educational videos. I love the way you explain all the details in what you do. Definitely gives me ideas and knowledge of what I can do to my yard. I would definitely love being your neighbor and be in awe of all your hard work and love you put into your property. Love your channel ❣️
who nice to see it getting done. Fun to see you add water to them. i live in _Denmark and have a couple of then i dont need to water then at all. we dont have the same heat as you do, a hot day is about 70F-72F. Makes it nice and easy to flowers, i only had to water my roses ones this season.. :-)
We call it morpankhi in India.. it's a very common plant here.. n quite hardy.. rest u know very well about it. I love ur garden lucky to have that big one.
You're going so big, I'm not sure why you didn't get bulk materials instead of bags, but wow that's a big project with so many trees, so good luck with them.
I think I remember you saying the land next to yours was a development that was just getting started. How close to your fence will the closest neighbors be? Just wondering because when we bought our home it was a quiet little neighborhood, and now we're completely surrounded. Can't wait to move someplace quieter!
Great info about Gypsum! I'm excited to try it in my clay soil. It's bad enough that we have a ton of rocks so hopefully it will help. My tomatoes also got blossom end rot this year. I heard Gypsum is good for that too. Thanks!
I planter 25 Arborvitae and half of them burned. I planted right before extreme heat hit our area in July. We live in zone 7. Extreme heat is over but rest of tees are slowly dying down 😕.
I really love all that you do and wonder where you get the energy to get it done. I really would like you to think of incorporating more fruit trees into your landscape. Not only will your bees help you in that area but your soon to be son will also enjoy this. Please, this is not a criticism but because of your ability to source the trees and talk about care and pruning to keep them looking presentable, it would help lots of your subies think of edible alternatives in their landscapes. Also, don't worry about the mom's brain it's a side effect of being pregnant and it never goes away completely.
Hello im gonna be planting 24 north pole arborvitae and i was wondering how much of the byotone and gypsum would i need? A bag each of what you have in the description or more you think? I know you used about a handful which im sure my hands are bigger lol but i just wasnt sure if i could make a bag of each work or not.
For a five year later update go to video: "Planting a Huge Drift of Superbena + Urns on Our West Side! " and skip to the urn section. They are now an over 6ft tall fluffy wall.
Can you post an update of how they’re doing now?
Wow Laura, this was before your babies & now this west area is so different. You all have created an incredible oasis.
Wow I just came back to watch this video...crazy how much has changed!
Baby brain already! Love you and your videos no matter what day you think it is. 😊❤️
Hi Garden Answer, if possible, please include a drone overview shot in every monthly tours so its easy to see overall layout. Slow closer drone view of each section will be great. I think the colours as the flowers bloom and each area gets changed or filled out and as the season changes, it will be amazing to see it. Especially for those fans (i.e. me) from the tropics.

Yes, please. It helps me stay oriented to each section of your property and see overall progress. Thank you.
I agree lol
C L YES!!!!
HELLO FROM OREGON TOO!
I Love living here in central Oregon! Building up my garden takes so much time an money to have it done right the first time.
I so want to see your veg garden!!!! So exciting! Beets, carrots, planting garlic. So many fall things to grow.
Kim Barnes me too. Can't wait to see her veggie garden 🤗
Yassss
You can also cut with a hot tool. That way, the woven landscape fabric is less likely to fray/unravel.
Oh my goodness! Laura, congrats. I don't know how I missed the original announcement video. So happy for y'all, I was just excited to see the Arborbites going in until you said you were pregnant! Now that's really exciting! Awesome guys, congratulations!!!

❤ So glad I found this early GA viedo! I actually started watching during the pandemic.
Не перестаю восхищаться Вашим энтузиазмом и энергией.МОЛОДЧИНА!!!
MY HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED 🥰in NOV ..2022 ❤️
It’ll be sweet to see how they look 10 years from now! Such a beautiful variety of arborvitae.
Very excited for you to have gotten those arbs in....
Truly amazing what you have been able to accomplish. ❤❤❤
Wow, great to see how it all looked once upon a time. Glad you will be adding more lawn area on the new property, that grass looks so calming
Congratulations on knocking down such a huge project! It must be such a relief to not need to worry anymore about all those trees in pots! Watering them enough to keep them alive must have eaten so much time.
Your love of nature is contagious!
Great video. Love seeing when they were original arbors were planted. ❤
YAY, glad that the Arbs are finally getting planted, it'll be exciting to see how fast they grow in the background of your videos!
Wow guys, what a job but it looks soooo good! I am learning so much from you Laura. So very inspiring.
A beautiful job. Let's hope the neighbours keep their weeds in check. 🤗
LOOKS SO GOOD! 😊 I love my North Pole Arbs, mine don't seem to get wind burn as easily as my basic Arbs. That's going to look awesome with Blue Spruce at the end too!

Do you have tips on spacing? What initial size did you plant?
This is so funny. I got a friend of mine hooked on your channel and she just asked me on Sunday, "Does she have the arborvitae planted yet?" Lol! Can't wait to tell her 😄
I'm so excited to see them go in, can't imagine how happy you must be!!

wow looks great! I'm so happy you don't have to water those anymore by hand lol. that's a job right there alone! lots of progress coming along
Omg, CONGRATULATIONS on the new bundle if joy coming!!! You both seem very nice and would make great parents, btw you both are adorable as well!!! God bless, and the project turned out beautiful!!!
Smargd (Emerald green) arborvitae are also a good narrow choice; 3-4' wide and 15' tall.
Both look similar...whats the difference... any idea
I found with planting almost 900 lavender plants that a torch is the best way to make holes in landscape fabric! :) looking wonderful!
staci hunter - WHOA! 900 lavender plants! That's a great tip for huge planting projects. :-)
A blue spruce and a blueberry garden. Such a sweet thought!
All the very best to you both with your growing family! Wouldn't it be exciting to see your space, discussed from 11:45 - 13:12, evolve as a small scale food forest while your little boy grows?

@@folee_edge You have got to be kidding me ????? You answer my question from one year ago........Thanks but no thanks .
This is such a beautiful impact in your garden! I am so excited to see this grow! I think a sunken garden would be magnificent. Basically, I will be waiting patiently for all of these videos in the future. :)
Instablaster...
So glad that you can (✔) this off your list 📋👍
I love it so much! Very excited for you guys! I need to buy some of the landscape fabric! I live in Oklahoma and I swear the weeds here can grow through anything!
@kcenter85 same here in western KS!
kcenter85 Same here in East Tennessee! 😋
UMM-
July 29th is believable, YOU ARE DOING A FANTASTIC JOB!!!!! love the show..you have helped me so much!
Huge job that will be so beautiful in the years to come ! I have been looking at them all summer and waiting for you to plant them ! Ha. Love em !

wow, That's a great comment. Any recommendations for a..maybe 6 ft boxwood hedge? Any particular variety that I should try?
wow that hedge is so pretty. i can't wait to see what it looks like as it matures. you should use a few maples in the sunken garden they would look really pretty and they have very nice foliage
Doing *** happy dancs *** that you finally have them planted! They look amazing!
Those look so amazing. I can't wait to see them a few years from now! Thanks for all the planting instructions, too.
the end result looks great
I loved the drone shot so I could get a look at the overall lot.
Incredible video like the others! Thanks and cheers from the coast of our beautiful state
They look great! Huge relief to not have to water each one by hand.
Can't imagine what your water bill is each month. Maybe you need to see if they want to be a sponsor! Ha
Thanks for sharing this huge accomplishment. Have a great day!
Excellent and informative video. Just planted some Arbor Vitaes in my back yard and LOVE them. Good job on the video!
I am so thrilled you got these in! YAY! :)
You my dear are an ambitions woman. It looks amazing!! Keep it up
What gallon size did you use for this project? Looks wonderful!
Thank you for the fun, educational videos. I love the way you explain all the details in what you do. Definitely gives me ideas and knowledge of what I can do to my yard. I would definitely love being your neighbor and be in awe of all your hard work and love you put into your property. Love your channel ❣️
I can't wait to see what it looks like months laters
who nice to see it getting done. Fun to see you add water to them. i live in _Denmark and have a couple of then i dont need to water then at all. we dont have the same heat as you do, a hot day is about 70F-72F. Makes it nice and easy to flowers, i only had to water my roses ones this season.. :-)
Love how it turned out, definitely worth the wait.
Looks AMAZING! Love, love, love!
not bad at all! If they grow 3-5' wide and you plant them 2' won't they kill each other?
Yay! Congratulations on getting the arborvitaes in! They look amazing. Can't wait to see you vegetable garden :-)
How far apart were they ultimately planted?
We call it morpankhi in India.. it's a very common plant here.. n quite hardy.. rest u know very well about it. I love ur garden lucky to have that big one.
Been waiting for this video to see how you will plant so mary plants. great job Ben
What is the length of your separation stick? 2ft ? Or 4ft?
I am looking for this answer now
She's come soooooo far
Needed to find the name of the arborvitae you planted, and it happens to be the anniversary of when you planted! Love to see an update!
Or, +a month, according to the comments. Lol
You're going so big, I'm not sure why you didn't get bulk materials instead of bags, but wow that's a big project with so many trees, so good luck with them.
This is so exciting!! They look awesome!
I think I remember you saying the land next to yours was a development that was just getting started. How close to your fence will the closest neighbors be? Just wondering because when we bought our home it was a quiet little neighborhood, and now we're completely surrounded. Can't wait to move someplace quieter!
Excited to see them in the ground! Would love little updates in the future to see how they are doing! :D
Are you going todo a video on the seeds planted in the jugs for how they turned out?
We finally got our arborvitaes planted! Now we are going to install drip tube. Do we use 2 gallon per hour on each tree?
SO BLESSED
Love it and love all your other plans as well.
Great info about Gypsum! I'm excited to try it in my clay soil. It's bad enough that we have a ton of rocks so hopefully it will help. My tomatoes also got blossom end rot this year. I heard Gypsum is good for that too. Thanks!

Looks amazing Jealous keep it up
Love the way they came out !!!🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲😍
Lol, Jul 29?, I love your videos so much, I watch them on the big screen.
That was cool to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Looks great! I love watching your videos!!!
It looks really nice!! 🌲🌲🌲
I like how just cause you're pregnant your projects don't stop! You go girl! 🤰🏽💪🏽👏🏽
the northpole cultivar i believe only grows between 6 to 10 ft. The 10-15 ft is the Smaragd variety
nice, you could include a budget of the cost of the materials used in your projects, I think it would be useful. great job !!!
Hey Laura, on your fence where your planting the arborvitaes, is there chicken wire to hold back the neighbours weeds?
Looks beautiful!!
Congrats on getting that done. What's happening with the raised boxes you planted this spring? I don't remember seeing anything about them recently.
EllaNchanted Laura mentioned them in today's video.
Thanks Cindy.. I was hoping to see them :)
G00D Afternoon from Auckland, New Zealand it’s Saturday, November 23, 2019
Had to check my calendar for a sec!
Looks so awesome!!!!!!
Awesome , exactly what I need in my back yard, thanks for the inspiration 👍
Thank you so much for sharing your care & knowledge :)
What is the length of your measure stick you are putting in between the trees to space them?
Hello im gonna be planting 24 north pole arborvitae and i was wondering how much of the byotone and gypsum would i need? A bag each of what you have in the description or more you think? I know you used about a handful which im sure my hands are bigger lol but i just wasnt sure if i could make a bag of each work or not.
Can we please get an update on how tall the arbs have grown since planting.
