Hey everyone, so check this out. I showed my wife the video this morning and she was so excited. She looked at me and said you could do this "my love." She already went out side got the measurement and called Home Depot. I guess i have a project. Thank you again for the easy painless explanation. Next time i wont show her your other video's... Lol👍🏼🙏🏼👊🏼
nice job...and how refreshing NO annoying music in the background, just the real noise of tools working and u doing the magic work....ahhhh...so freaking refreshing.
Absolutely! A comment or question means a lot to me and I do my best to help and appreciate everybody who takes the time to reach out. Thanks for watching!
Just a tip...you should always make garden beds away from the walls of the home. Leave a foot or two. Dirt against the wall above grade can cause structural problems due to moisture being held against the wall. Soil can also provide a super highway for insect infestations. The plants themselves become a transport system for insects as well as rodents, acting like a ladder to places they would have struggled to get to without the plant. Plant roots can disrupt foundation and actually break the structure, or the cladding. Mulch on the bed can exasperate moisture and insect problems. Finally, it makes it much easier to maintain both the home and the garden bed if the plants are not right against the home. Leave yourself room to access the house without having to tear your garden out or lop off branches that leave the plants looking mutilated.
Ronnie in VA I scrolled through a bunch of comments to finally get to your review. Yes did you see he already has a vertical crack in his foundation? I would not recommend anyone doing what this guy did.
Best comment here. I was wondering why is no one saying this. But I will be following his instructions to make beds in the middle of my backyard cuz its very big
Now that’s my kind of DIY project! Uncomplicated - few tools, fewer materials, and not a lot of time. Looks good, too! BTW, nice voice, good video pace, excellent editing, and no annoying background music. Thank you!
You are absolutely a blessing when you're starting out in DIY Garden Bed Edging you need an expert who provides detailed instructions like yourself... for which I am so grateful I am going to try this also.
I just wanted to tell you that I loved your video and I decided that I was going to do it. I am a 62 year old, 230 pound female and I did all of it myself. I took my pickup truck and bought all the wood by myself and hauled it home and picked up all the screws like you said and the glue! I used my husband's saw and cut all my own pieces. It took me a few weeks to do it because it was a bit exhausting because the area I did was 45 feet long by 2 feet wide. I wish I could post photos for you to see my finished project. I even went back and 'stained' all the wood after it was built (I wasn't too sure if I should do it before I started to saw etc...) but oh well. It is by NO MEANS as perfect as yours but I am pretty proud of it and it looks AMAZING!! Thank you for showing me how to do it step by step and for having such great ideas!
Wow, that's awesome! You did quite the sizeable bed by the sounds of it. You could email me the pics, I'd love to see it, email is on the channel "about" page. As long as you learned along the way, it doesn't need to be "perfect", none of them ever are, even mine. But you can always be proud of it! Thanks for sharing and watching
Thank you so much for this design Jesse! I’ve been putting off building a bed like this at the front of our home for years. I searched and searched but didn’t find anything appealing. Thanks to your video, it got my brain working and came up with something that took only a couple days. It’s a little different than yours since my yard was on an incline, but without you taking the time to make this video, I’d still be lost… Thank you again, Andy in Kansas City 🤪👍
Everything looks great . I only have one suggestion. When you stack the (2) 4x4's drill through them with a 3/8" drill bit, put about (3) holes in each 8' section. Buy a 10' (or a couple) length of 3/8" rebar and cut it into 24" sections. Use a small mini sledge hammer and drive the 24" spike through both 4x4's into the ground. Now you will have a solid wall that won't move over time and you can finish with your top cap and not see the tops of the spike or the holes.
Hi there, we made this (almost) exact garden bed edging over the weekend. Had to replace the 2-4X4s stacked over each other with a 1-2X6 pine sleeper as the 4X4s that we get in Australia cost over $54. All in all, it looks great in the garden. Wish RUclips allowed posting pictures in comments, would have loved to show it to you. Will make another of this one this week. Thanks again.
Awesome! I'm glad to hear that, at the end of the day I want to inspire people to do and try new things. I would love to see it. You can either upload it to Insatagram and tag me in it or email me directly in the description
to anchor the lower 4x4 drill 1/2" holes through them and drive 1/2" rebar 12-16" long through and into the ground, I have used this method on railroad ties for raised beds and they have never moved, good vid THANX
Did this today. Took me about 8 hours. Thanks for the video. Huge help. One reminder for folks, cut everything for fitment before you glue anything together. Also make sure your corners are 90 degrees perfect. I forgot about that and made my top piece 45 degree ends hard to mate up.
No problem, thanks for watching! That's something I really focus on is simple, but nice looking projects most people should be able to accomplish and get a great look!
Great video! I did this exact garden bed 40'x4'. I reinforced the bottom 4x4 with spikes and I also cut the cosmetic 2x4's 16" long and spiked them into the ground 9" deep and then secured to the 4x4's. Thanks for the great tutorial!
I'm in process of making this and it's turning out better than I thought! I didn't use any glue but it's not really needed I just added more screws, and those 2by4 pieces actually add strength because they hold the 4 by 4's together
I used your formula and built four flower and veggie gardens. Added some drip irrigation and the project(s) turned out amazing. Thanks for the video and inspiration.
Looks fantastic!!!! I'm going to do this to my front flower beds only thing I'm going to add that you didn't is put plastic behind these borders and staple to the top but under the top bord. We have a massive rainy season. I'm going to use the plastic for moisture barrier.
Absolutely. Like I said in the video too, you may want to stake that first row of timber to the ground with spikes or rebar too, give it some footing into the ground
I actually built this using the instructions from the video, and it turned out really nicely! I will note one thing though; you need a powerful drill / impact driver to get 5 inch screws into that wood. I had to stop working, and borrow a dewalt from a friend, and even that needed pilot holes. Heads up if you try it!
Very neat, simple design. For a UK build where it's always wet, a continuous dpc under the bottom board, up the sides and pinned under the top board would add life to the boards. Nice job and easily understood tips 👌
Please tell me what dpc stands for. You may laugh about it but I'm a lady who does not do these kind of projects but I want to with the help of a helper
Glad i found your video. I was gonna start my garden bed with 4 layers of bricks and cement. This is gonna be much quicker and much straighter without breaking out my back.
LOVE THE LOOK! MY HUSBAND WILL NOT BE HAPPY AS I NOW HAVE ANOTHER PROJECT IN MIND! I KNOW HE WILL D0 A REALLY GOOD JOB AFTER HE WATCHES YOUR GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU!
My wife has been begging me to give her a flower bed this year. I love this concept and I have the upmost confidence to do it. Definitely subscribing to your page mate!
Made the mistake of showing my girlfriend this video. She now wants me to do this all along the driveway flowerbed leading to the house. Great tutorial video and design. Look forward to doing something similar.
@@JessedoesDIY Ended up getting the entire project done yesterday. Unfortunately most of the lumber I was able to get was pretty twisted and bowed, but turned out fairly well and the GF if happy so that's what counts. Just need to wait until after winter and apply some stain. i.imgur.com/bGAkLaf.jpg
Very nice edging and good, clear, concise instructions. With spring just a couple of months away, this has given me some great ideas for my own garden. Nice job!
This looks so nice. I was trying to figure out what to ise for my front flower beds and i think i found it! Thank you for the detailed and easy to follow instructions.
Ty.. you got straight to the point 👉 I love the whole concept of design. Very nice touch by adding the 7" of 2×4 to the side. It gives it that little extra Pop to make it stand out. Great job
Looks really nice. You Tubing today, getting ready to build a 3 level deck and need some ideas resolved in my head. Then I saw this pop up and also have a need on the side of my garage. I'm going to replicate this exactly it really looks fantastic. Thanks!
Came across your video a couple weeks age while like for ways to build a 4x4 garden border. Well done easy to follow. I followed most of your instructions, tweaked them a little and built two garden borders for my back yard. They turned out fantastic. Thanks so much for posting your how too video.
Awesome, thank you! I'm so glad it helped out and that you made your own! I'd love to see and share them with everybody if you sent me some pics over email
Exactly what I was looking for ! I think i will be driving some 1/4 inch by 2 ft rebar into the first row, to be on the safe side, since I will be going up 3 rows of 4x4's which should be approx 10 1/5 inches. Thanks for an awesome video !
this is basically an easy project but best part is, it looks very nice. congratulations on a job well done that adds beauty and value to your home. It would be wise to mention to use only an adhesive rated for outdoor use as not all are meant to be used outside
Brilliant job. Love the tip on doing 45 degree cuts on joining two boards up on a run, I'd have never thought of that, and I've not heard anybody mention that on other videos, so cheers 🖒
The small vertical blocks are an excellent touch. I'm doing this in a couple days. I just ordered all the wood. Holy frick was it expensive but, I will enjoy this for years to come. Thank you for the video brother.
Very easy method that looks great. The comments for the retaining wall issue at the end were a good addition. Reckon I will use this method in a couple of years when I'm replacing the untreated timber I used. I knew I would need to replace it in a couple of years anyway but I had the untreated timber lying around the yard so I just used what was available to me at the time
Thank you for the well laid out video. Love your format. Straight forward and easy to follow. Your border looks great. I cant wait to try it. Thanks for the end bit about further reinforcement too!
In the neighborhood I live in which used to be a watershed since it is a more prone to erosion area as result some of us are taking to using a bit taller barrier wall around the flower beds next to our basements and a second shorter barrier wall around the perimeter of our front yards to stop the erosion which was contributing to flooding too whenever the grate to the sewers were blocked with twigs, leaves etc.
I have absolutely every item here from a left over decking project. I think this will look gorgeous next to the area made with the same materials and stained similarly , thanks!
I'm astounded! You know what you're doing; you explain thoroughly and efficiently. The project is simple, attractive and structurally sound for its intended purpose. Good video & audio. Liked and subscribed. Thank you for your channel and for single-handedly restoring my faith in the DIY community at large. You sir, are a content-providing gem!
Wow, I tried to do this the lazy way last year. I have all the wood, I laid it down but every time we got or local floods the 4x4's just floated away. I am in a new state I wasn't away of the rain. This is perfect I hope you don't mind me bookmarking this. Thanks for this video.
Great idea for straight runs, in my opinion this is easier and faster than using concrete. Its also a LOT easier to remove than concrete if you want to change something or if you are a renter this is a great idea.
@@JessedoesDIY Hello, thank you for your video. Does the pressure treated wood safe for a vegetable garden and will it last few years. I don't know anything about wood and with all the moisture with the soil again it. I am just wondering. Thank you again...
Hi, you could use it and things would grow fine, however I wouldn't. Over time they can leech some of the pressure testing chemical into the soil and food bearing plants can absorb it. I'd use something naturally rot resistant like cedar. It will last quite a few years, almost as long as pressure treated but with no chemicals.
You could easily use cedar, that is very nice and is naturally rot and weather resistant. I used pressure treated pine, it's what I have available and is 1/3 the price of cedar. Once it dries out it looks like cedar, or as close as you can get. If you are growing food tho I would go with a natural wood like cedar, the chemicals in pressure treating can wick into the dirt over time and some plants don't like it
Now this a great idea. I want to try this in my backyard along my fence but into the 4-5 individual areas where the fencing I'm responsible for is. Thanks for the great video.

speaking of leaving a foot or two, putting your foot under a circular saw is a great way to do it.
@Tahoe408 thats not a foundation crack thats just the parging. Theres already 2-4 feet of dirt touching the foundation below grade.
Finally some edging construction technique without use of concrete… thank you

really great solution for a non-retaining wall bed. looks great and is very simple. should last a long time with some stain. Well done.

Yup did this on my last house, incorporated tiered sections as well, it's too easy and looks fantastic! The rebar adds tons of strength.

Hi. Did this in my garden after looking at your video. Worked out really good. And also kept me out of the wife's hair for a few hours., 😁😁💪
Awesome lol good to hear
Very well done tutorial. Even the average women could make this! Thank you
Very easy method that looks great. The comments for the retaining wall issue at the end were a good addition.

Great job, you explain the process professionally. You are a pro!
Awesome, thanks! I appreciate it

If you need reinforcement, drill holes and pound in 12 to 18 inch pieces of rebar.
This is a great tutorial. We followed this with a few small personal adjustments and it turned out beautiful!
Awesome! Glad to hear it
Same here I made it taller by adding another 4×4
Great job! Super simple, but looks high end. I'll be stealing your idea and building these in my yard :)
Great simple instructions and demo on how to build. Turned out great. Now i want to build some
Thanks! Good luck on yours
I'm astounded! You know what you're doing; you explain thoroughly and efficiently. The project is simple, attractive and structurally sound for its intended purpose. Good video & audio. Liked and subscribed. Thank you for your channel and for single-handedly restoring my faith in the DIY community at large. You sir, are a content-providing gem!
Wow, thanks so much, that means a lot. I really appreciate it. More coming down the pipe soon! Let me know if there is anything you need help with
Wow, I tried to do this the lazy way last year. I have all the wood, I laid it down but every time we got or local floods the 4x4's just floated away. I am in a new state I wasn't away of the rain. This is perfect I hope you don't mind me bookmarking this. Thanks for this video.
No problem, thats what it's here for. Thanks for watching!
That’s legit really good! Going to make a few as we have time off work because of this horrible virus.
Thanks! Stay safe
Canadian, I built your design on my backyard. Awesome stuff, bravo for you!
That's awesome! Thanks
I did something similar like this. I anchored my 4x4 with 12" rebar and it did the trick.
Awesome! Yeah that's exactly it
I also built such bed on my roof top using concrete which looks awesome and strong enough to face heavy rain and rust
Thank you very much very well explained without using over complicated audio and video tech.
FANTASTIC! This is exactly what I was hpoing to find and do for your backyard along a new fence I just built. Thanks!!
Thanks, I'm glad you like it! Good luck on yours and keep me posted, I'd love to see it when you're done, email me some pics!
@@JessedoesDIY I sure will...thanks again, your video was great and to the point!!
I just found you and you’re legitimately making some quality videos.
New sub at around 1500.
Looking forward to some more videos.
Thanks! I really appreciate it
Permacon has great stone boarder stones. If you insist on wood, try using 6x6 pressure treated. Fast and looks good.
I didn't want stone. And I didn't want 6×6, I like the look of stacked 4×4 to give it more shadow lines. To each their own
If you got kids, use the stakes... 👍🏻
Great idea for straight runs, in my opinion this is easier and faster than using concrete. Its also a LOT easier to remove than concrete if you want to change something or if you are a renter this is a great idea.
Absolutely!
This is the exact idea, I was looking for

Love it! Exactly what I was looking for. Just shared it to my husband.
Yay, thank you! Good luck on yours
This is really good.
Excellent video. You solved my issue by using a spike nail into a 4x4. Thanks for the step-by-step instruction.
Anytime, thanks!
Great video! I'm gonna do this exact bed, love it! What were all the types of wood you used? All pressure treated right?
Thanks! All of it was Sienna Brown pressure treated pine. 4x4 posts, 1×6 deck boards, basic 2×4. Have fun
Thanks! Great stuff. Just subscribed
@@JessedoesDIY Hello, thank you for your video. Does the pressure treated wood safe for a vegetable garden and will it last few years. I don't know anything about wood and with all the moisture with the soil again it. I am just wondering. Thank you again...
Hi, you could use it and things would grow fine, however I wouldn't. Over time they can leech some of the pressure testing chemical into the soil and food bearing plants can absorb it. I'd use something naturally rot resistant like cedar. It will last quite a few years, almost as long as pressure treated but with no chemicals.
I would put those 2x4s on the inside, not the outside, so that it is easier to mow next to the bed...and use a weed whacker.
Damn, that looks pretty good.
I have never seen any wooden planks like that for sale in any DIY shop in my life, ever.
A very good and clear explanations on how to build that... it's looks great!
Thanks very much!
That is beautiful, thank you
Very nice presentation - simple and direct! You are a good teacher!
Thank you, glad I could help
Clear, concise, well done video and a great idea!
Excellent job, this is something I can do without too much difficulty. Thank you for posting this video.
No problem, thanks. Glad I could help
What kind of wood would you use for this project? Looks really good though!
You could easily use cedar, that is very nice and is naturally rot and weather resistant. I used pressure treated pine, it's what I have available and is 1/3 the price of cedar. Once it dries out it looks like cedar, or as close as you can get. If you are growing food tho I would go with a natural wood like cedar, the chemicals in pressure treating can wick into the dirt over time and some plants don't like it
Man, that is so much cheaper and better than the store bought options.
Thanks, that's what I was going for
Gosh this is amazing. I’m going to try this this year. But be careful with the power tools bruh.. great video as usual
Now this a great idea. I want to try this in my backyard along my fence but into the 4-5 individual areas where the fencing I'm responsible for is. Thanks for the great video.
This is a great idea to follow, I was considering brick until I came across this gem, thanks for sharing!!
Looks amazing. I can't wait to get started!
Thanks, have fun!
