Wow! I would love to see this little circular seating area once it's finished with all the perennials and shrubs planted. Something tells me that it will only look better as the years go by and the plants start to mature and settle! Great job hun, stay safe!
Yuliya great idea! I love how you recycled the stone and that you always think of the wildlife. The patio is gorgeous and no weeding because of the moss. Cant wait to see the plantings you do at that project.
I'm so excited about this project. Looking forward to updates. I've been mossing different little areas in my garden and it really does spread so nicely. It does grow here on its own too, so maybe that's why, but still, it always makes me smile.
I have moss growing between my stones on my patio as well. I did leave the center that the fire pit is on without moss as the heat will kill it off (ask me how I know). The moss grew naturally in my yard a couple of years ago and there wasn’t much of it. I took half of it and broke it down, added water & yogurt to create a slurry and poured this in some of the bare areas between the rocks. It took a summer for it to fill in but looks pretty now.
Hello! Wow! A house built by Frank Lloyd Wright! That is a gem! I can't wait to see the circular seating area when it's complete. Thank you for taking us along! :)
I have been doing this for years since I keep finding tons of Moss in my shade area's . I tuck the Moss between slabs of Stone, Bricks, Rocks and its so low maintenance . It always look nice. Thanks Yuliya !
I hadn’t really thought about the spacing needed in between the stones to accommodate the moss until you mentioned it. The patio is beautiful! I’m looking forward to seeing another video or two highlighting transition throughout the back yard 🌱🐿
@@greatgardensforall oh I get it for sure! I have a very thick kneeling pad but have trouble getting down and back up😂 thank goodness I can still bend over, rough on the back but I make it work😂
Oh my goodness - you inspired me and I spent 3 hours harvesting moss in our back woods and replanting it between the stone steppers off our deck that can’t seem to grow grass. Fingers crossed that it roots in!
Beautiful. The late Helen Stoddard, who had a very famous flight of moss steps designed for her garden by Fletcher Steele, used to water her moss with beer! I’m told buttermilk is also good- the acidity is beneficial to the moss.
So beautiful! I haven’t figured out yet how to keep little chipmunks from digging it up before it takes hold but would love to create a space like this ❤️
Aww, I can almost see fairies and elves frolicking around on this magical patio! It looks beautiful! Yes, please do show us how it looks with the shrubs around the perimeter! 💚🥰 Linda
Hi Yuliya! I love that stone area with the moss. We have a small walkway that we filled with stone and I planted moss in the crevices. Some of it was too hot for the moss, so I planted the steppables plants there. I like the softness it adds. Thank you for sharing!
My backyard has a lot of moisture....so I get wild growing moss. Like you, I pulled up some pieces ( like a carpet...very easy), put them in between my brick pavers. It grows very easily...and is a great look.
Hi I thought that was absolutely fantastic yes I quite agree with you cause when I looked it to I thought sakhi same thing it looked like hes been down for years it looks great the stone and the most of good together you done a very good job keep up the good work and I fully enjoyed watching your video thank you😍😍❤❤
Such a thorough informative video. Thanks for mentioning stepable.com. Y.E.A.R.S ago when HGTV actually had garden shows had one called Gardening by the yard, he talked about stepable plants, I've wanted some for my patio all these yrs. Now I can finally get some.!
@wende I’ve seen Paul James making appearances on Oklahoma Gardening here on RUclips. I loved Gardening by the Yard! It really is what sparked my love of gardening.
@@jennifersauer3257 Have you seen the shows Gardeners Journal and Gardeners Diary, both from back in the day and on here too. Journal came on first. I also save videos, it's really handy.
Hi Yulia. Thanks for taking the time to educate a new gardener like myself. I really appreciate the details you give in your videos and step by step instructions. I have a question for you, I put diwn some palette step stones in a muddy area under my tree and I was wondering can I grow miss between them? They are about 4" apart. One more thing! I realized, thanks to your video, that I have a star magnolia growing in my backyard! I never knew what kinda tree it was until you identified yours in your video. So thank you for that. 😊
I would have the cherry tree removed for fear of falling and the roots busting out of the new stone circle but I cant wait to see how it looks with moss. I got so much around here but idk what I can do with it in my garden but it surrounds my hostas
Just Love Your Souls Appreciation ❤ of Natural Beauty ! Amazing 💡 Idea, And I Have Been Moss Infatuated Since Childhood. So Many Different Looks Can Be Sharing One Space , And I'm Always Looking For It Wherever I Travel, Even Sometimes Bringing It Back To Tn With Me ! Lol, Beautiful Job 😍!

It really has softened the area up. I get moss growing on my stone walls. We get rain in autumn, winter and spring and the moss looks gorgeous. We get really hot dry summers and the moss gets brittle and turns brown but it always bounces back in autumn I presume between cracks in a patio it would do the same?
In this spot it will be green most of the year except maybe for a heat wave. This patio is on the northern side and also shaded, perfect spot for moss 😊
Very nice project! Love repurposing things whenever possible. Off-topic question - where did you get that great swing style hoodie you're wearing? I want one!😂
Thanks Yulia, love the moss, can you do a video on how to start moss? I have a great stone area I would love to have moss growing. Semi shaded to mostly shaded? Stones are there and I have Creeping Jennie but I would rather have moss. Does it require a lot of moisture? In Texas we have high humidity in the summer it can be up to 75% humidity and 98 deg and higher! Breathtaking sometime! Would the moss need to be watered at that point?
If you have moss growing naturally anywhere in your area then yes! Our moss goes dormant and fades a bit (still green just lighter) in the summer but bounces right back in fall, winter and spring. Water sure helps!
It looks so beautiful. I picked up some thyme for an area that I have with pavers because I have too much sun there. How much sun do you think moss can take? Can wait to see the platings around it.
I think it depends on zone and humidity/rainfall of where you live. All day sun in the rainy pacific NW. 5 minutes in the Nevada desert. Here in CT, about 3 hours based on my backyard.
@@willaerley7140 that’s so true. We have too much heat here in GA so that’s why I went with the thyme for the sunnier area. I used to have a long path that was all moss, gorgeous. But we had to remove some trees so it all slowly went away. It’s hanging on in a few spots. I really love it.
official request for an update video. Would love to see how it's held up or changed over time and if you have any tips or observations from maintaining this?
I love love love this affect. BUT.......we have a flagstone patio I tried to do the same thing with and the squirrels, skunks, or neighborhood cats dig it up every single night. We've sprayed with Repels All with no results. So frustrating. After years of trying everything, I'm ready to try small gravel even though it is not the effect I want. Any suggestions?
I have a real problem myself with squirrels and chipmunks digging up my bulbs (also plants in peat pots or smaller seedlings) After a few years of failures, this fall I decided to try and create a cage so that I could let the bulbs grow long enough in the spring that they would be left alone. So far so good. I used a number of plastic rose collars (about 10 inches high) that snap together staked in the ground as a barrier and chicken wire mesh over top tied on with garden wire. Perhaps you could construct a similar temporary barrier around the patio (or several ones in different areas depending on the size). After a few weeks, I imagine the moss would root in and no longer be such an attractive nuisance for the beasties. I understand that they get curious about any ground disturbance thinking that some other animal must have stashed food there. Edit: since moss likes the humidity so much, maybe putting clear plastic storage bins upside down over the planted area, weighed down with bricks or stones would work well.
@@Ibis333 Good info. Thank you. We're thinking of removing what moss they haven't dug up already and putting down pea gravel, but that has the problem of being scattered with foot traffic, etc. We may redo the flagstone and start over with something new. Spring will tell.
Ro G You don’t need to buy! It’s everywhere. Look in areas of your yard where it is shady and where the soil is moist. Young moss can have a greenish color on top of the soil and that ok, it’ll grow !

I've always loved the moss in between stone. It's so whimsical with that natural forest look. Love it.
Wow! I would love to see this little circular seating area once it's finished with all the perennials and shrubs planted. Something tells me that it will only look better as the years go by and the plants start to mature and settle! Great job hun, stay safe!
Will do!
Just love mossy areas, looks so peaceful and fun. And it shows life growing on as well. So helpful, thank you...see ya.

Love the patio. I have a patio of reused brick given when our church built a new church.
Oh my! It looks absolutely beautiful!! I’m still watching but went to the end to take a peek. 🤗

The patio is perfect! Can we see the Frank Lloyd Wright’s house next door also? Please please please!
The owner has tours once a year I believe. I can check it out
What a great patio, amazing job!
I absolutely love this. Lucky clients! I can’t wait for a tour of the finished project. Just lovely!
Love this design. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! 😊
I need to do this, I love the look of moss in the garden!❤
Yuliya, this is soooo creative and beautiful! Just so inspiring how you come up with these ideas and then actually carry them out!
Oh I love moss between stones! Very labor intensive putting it down, my back and knees were hurting just watching you😍
I would love some kneepads but never found the ones I love 😊Unfortunately, the ones I tried make my knees feel worse

I am also easily influenced 😁😊
What a clever idea! I created a sidewalk that I will now finish with moss too!
Absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing and making it look easy enough to try!
Love this project, I love fern moss , so delicate looking !
Can you confirm the variety shown in this video fern moss? I didn't hear her mention anything in particular and would love to know.
I love your videos. You are a true gardening master! Looking forward to seeing the whole project. Looks like fun!
So nice of you 😁😊

That’s beautiful! I wish I had an area like that where I could grow moss. Beautiful. Tfs. 👏🏻💕👏🏻
Looks beautiful, moss made a big difference.
First off that Stone is beautiful! Love that you did the moss. So soft and natural. This garden is going to be amazing!
I hope so!
Love the way it came out looks very nice.
It's so pretty! I love it!

Great patio! New subscriber, came over from Laura at Garden Answer.
Thanks for subbing!
its has a rain forest vibe to it... Loved it... Would love a view once it grows full and also the privacy fencing that you are planning to do..
I will try to update as we are working on it
Lovely area. Please, follow up with project. Happy NewYear🌟

She finally gets to the point at 4:44
With stones like that you can design it to look Iike a turtle, love the moss
Why didn`t I think of that ? Thank You.

One hour at most. Depends on temperature and humidity. Check Irish moss tho. That can work better
official request for an update video. Would love to see how it's held up or changed over time and if you have any tips or observations from maintaining this?
I have tried this two years I a row with Irish moss in my fire pit area and one side continues to die every time :( not sure if ill ever get the look.
Is there a time of year this works best?
Timely!
The stonework and moss are beautiful! Was soil put between the rocks before you added the moss?
Yes, I asked the workers to fill with soil. Normally we would do gravel or polymeric sand
@@greatgardensforall thank you!❤
🌿❤️
So, the moss will grow into the quarry processing?
What are you using for the evergreen screen? I’m partial to Green Giant, but it gets a bit monotonous.
I like Green Giant but it is too large there. There is a new kid on the block - Virginian!

What's the name of the website you mentioned?
No kneepad? My knees are aching just watching you. Looks great though.
I would love some kneepads but never found the ones I love 😊Unfortunately, the ones I tried make my knees feel worse
Tell me how to get rid of moss between pavers around a pool.
Soda crystals :)
Where did you get the moss
My backyard 😊
All I found was a book written by Julia Moss.
4:43, cut to the chase?
Where can I buy Moss?
Ro G You don’t need to buy! It’s everywhere. Look in areas of your yard where it is shady and where the soil is moist. Young moss can have a greenish color on top of the soil and that ok, it’ll grow !
There are some companies online that sell moss that you can grow. Check your local ordinances and see if you can collect moss in wooded areas.
Супер. Я диву рядом. Давайте дружить
This isn't about growing moss. It's about transplanting moss. How do I GROW the moss?
Haha, you are correct. Moss grows well in my area because it's humid and we get consistent rain.
Did you add garden soil between the pavers? Thank you!
5% of almost 95% about me
You you are going to wish as you get older that you had used knee pads or a pad to kneel
