      He is very charming! He came to film my pond, and poor guy, it was 98 degrees outside (Central Texas). He is the same fun guy off and on camera.

    Honestly didn’t think the pond could get better, but that firepit is just perfect for your family! Benjamin with the fish, and Samantha with her “delicious” smelling marshmallows, too cute!

    I have a feeling that Laura isn’t a huge fan of the blue glass (and that’s purely an assumption and I could 100% be wrong) but Laura is so gracious and thoughtful that she just goes with it because Greg loved it so much.
    I LOVE that fire pit! Of course I entered to win, but regardless, I might have to get myself one of those! So cool and unique.

    Personally not a fan of mixing faux & natural rock, but love the idea of a fire pit gathering area. The nice thing with the propane fire pit burners is that it's easy to build a natural rock piece & incorporate the pan & burner along with glass or lava rock & there's some very nice faux logs/branches such as the one's by American Fyre Designs that look awesome. You guys will love gathering around the fire for years to come. Love the pond & all your landscaping videos.

    What a sweet guy. I like how he got Benjamin involved in doing the last fish. The fact that Greg is thinking of others and that's a nice trait of anyone. Blue, thats my husbands favorite color and he would have picked the same. I think it's a guy thing so can't fault him in his choice because it's so pretty in general. So so nice.

    What a magical space to spend time together and your new fish 😍. Not to sound over dramatic but sharing a word of warning with lava rocks, ours exploded several times after getting wet and then with the heat of the fire. Needless to say dangerous! We switched to glass and have no isses. Looking forward to see what beautiful things you do next!

    OMGosh I couldn't be more happy for you guys with how this space has come together! You are spot on with how being around like minded, passionate people (or watching them on RUclips, ha!) is such an inspiration. In just the past 7 days, I created a whole new space in our wide open backyard - I dug out a sunken fire pit area, and used that dirt to create 2 tiered planting beds on each side, that next year will have a stacked stone surround. Thank you AGAIN and ALWAYS Laura, Aaron, Benjamin and Samantha (and EVERYONE else like Paul & Bethany & Greg & Pedro's crew, and so many others!!!) for continuing to inspire the rest of us to create our own backyard paradise!

    Here to add to the blue stone comments. As soon as the word blue was mentioned, I knew Laura would want to change the color! Would love to see the amber stones. The seating area is lovely. ❤
