I liked the dynamics of this duo and they do make it seem so easy, looked like a days work from start to finish? I loved the end result and the idea of the bench alcove was spot on!
I have never ever worked in my yard and stayed as clean as they did. Usually have to hose off in the yard. Her white shorts looked as clean as when she bought them. All that aside, great job.
It's BEAUTIFUL! Love it.
I have watched this twice because I am going to attempt this on the weekend. Great explanations! I'll let you know how it goes!
How'd it go
How’d it go?
Nice video , thx. I'm going to try this for a patio but using crush shell instead.
Thanks for your comment! Crushed shell will likely give you cancer.
Foot cancer.
Ron looks smitten. Well, he brought the RV, could be the start of ❣️
Love the look.
Beautiful path. I would love sitting under the tree reading the paper and maybe enjoying a cigar.. Great build, now enjoy it!
Thanks, Thom!
Very useful video, well explained.
Thank you!
Yahoooo! I'm #1,000 on 4/25/2019. Now I can do this landscape project correctly.
Aí sim! Nota dez!!!
Grass and weeds will always find a way to grow up through crushed rocks; regardless of what fabric barrier you use.
There are some really thick landscape fabrics available on the market. But, if in doubt, specially in problem areas, I would put down 2 layers on landscape fabric. Taking into considering drainage and overall height of the pathway, I think it would probably work just fine.
I also think putting down a base layer of stone dust before the pea pebbles would help, no?
The fabric make the easy really easy to pull out
I find you need to either keep on top of the occasional weeds or use a decent weedkiller every year or sometimes twice a year.
I love it!!! Very attractive and just what I'm going to do for my yard, Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful job
I wish my hard Texas dirt was that easy to dig through!
Soak the dirt thoroughly with water first, then it’ll be easier to dig
Sharpen your tools
I think sharpening the shovel works tho. I will try that for my own project
awesome thanks
What an amazing intro zooming huhuh amazing!!
I like that guys style while working.
He's a natural, Dan (:
Whaahaha
Quite nice. Thanks for sharing! It shows me I did it right! Can you share on the logistics of shaping?
good video
I always wondered how to remove grass fast. Thank you.
Must be nice to do this in slack and a dress shirt! It's 95* and 80% humidity!!!
😆
Perfect couple
Very pretty
big 1999 vibes
Amazing
Someone from Home Depot recommended weed barrier, 1/2 inch rocks, limestone screening and then the decorative rocks. I have done this in an area where there is water build up when it rains Do I even need the limestone screening? I am already done😕
Why are they matching?
kool
How often do you do this? As often as we need to.
I was laughing, too!
That awkward handshake release 🤝 at the end😬😅😂🤣 other than that pretty nice job
I saw that too lol
We're doing this around our home living area and live in a high rainfall area (in winter). The ground has yellow clay under about the first 6-10 inches of brownish soil so it drains poorly and turns to mud in winter. Do you think the addition of a perforated drainage pipe just over the landscape cloth at the base of the pathway (perhaps a deeper trench in the middle of the path) would be a good idea?
Forget the gravel and just use the flagstone. You'll need more, but it will look much better.
Thanks for your comment! I disagree.
Never used some tools before but they are friendly
If my edge leads to the curb how would I finish it, without making it a trip hazard.
@big Lu please consider changing your profile pic. It is not dignifying at all and perhaps that’s why big in your handle is lower case???!!! And I’m not tying to be mean or smart but am offering insight I hope you will apply so you can obtain the answers you seek and people, even your enemies, will take you seriously.
Jewel of Wisdom racist
When a word like "big" Is placed in all lower case at the beginning of a sentence it indicates a mocking tone. Pay attention in school. Read more.
I would just dig it a little deeper so the edging is flush
Anybody who wastes their money on landscape fabric is not a professional. This stuff works great for about a year and then dirt accumulates on top of it creating a perfect garden for weeds to germinate.
Ok then how to prevent weeds. Any ideas ?
I used weed fabric. What a fucking waste. Weeds come through, fabric sticks out in some spots.
Sajid Rafique Glyphosate
St Augustine will bust right through fabric. Worthless.
sand works
I have tree's everywhere. Take me a year to get through the roots.
trees... grammar check; not possesive in this sentence.
@@thedevilandhertrumpets4268 Oh, wow! We have a grammar Nazi.
Looks nice just would.of used metal edging.
Wowwwwww
How long did this take from start to finish
About 30 minutes with the behind the scene 20 men helping.
for real 😂😂
7:36 He's carefully stepping on each tiny stone thinking "I'm not gonna miss, I'm not gonna miss, Yehhhhhh! I'm good! That's why my face is on my huge truck baby!"
Often as u need too 😆
6:51 - This Woman's been lied to her entire life about the length of 6 inches
Same person that told her that shirt fits !
🤣
His response tho lolol
1:06 Hiking trip on the Appalachian Trail? Yeah, right. I've heard this euphemism before from Mark Sanford. This means she went to meet her lover in Argentina.
every time I have used landscape cloth I still get weeds! what brand is used in the video??
Justine, you will get weeds as dirt blows in naturally, falls between the rocks and settles on top of the landscape fabric. The weed seed then blows in, or gets dropped in by birds/bird poo over time. I would consider it optional, many of the pro shops around me do not use it.
It is a waste of money and misleading. Just use cardboard or newspaper. that will last a little while.
That fabric looked very cheap, I dont think it's going to be very effective. Will know in a few yrs
@@Doriesep6622 Week, 10 days, yea, you're right. No weeds until after then, for sure.
Lol Ron being the measuring stick for 6 inches..
I like the width.... oh dear
What happened after the cameras left?
Hello👋 there🙋♂️
Amazing and very interesting video🎥 Super like👌👌👌 project
Good information very helpful🎥
Do keep posting
Warm regards and best👍💯 wishes

Did you see the flamingos sorounded by lash, long grass? Wanted to stroke the grass...so beautiful and unusual. The flamingos are so funny a d she does have a sense of humour!
hilarious banter
Thanks!
What a flirt!
Ron, I think you found you're long lost daughter.
Holy crap! She sounds like a southern Ellen DeGeneres.
Well its all i can said well
Someone passed away how do you remove them off your IPad
There’s like ridiculous sexual tension. Bless their hearts 🥰
I call bull on these two doing all this in the time they make it seem like it did.
Buy bulk rocks by the ton. That's a ton of plastic bags waste to earth. It's a lot cheaper by the ton instead of by little bags.
Was this shot in 1993?
lol
That hairstyle and outfit she had on said 93' lol
Get rid of the Crocs and get some work shoes on! I bet I've said that a thousand times throughout the years. Darn Crocs gotta go!
Not crocs Birkenstock’s hundreds difference!
"I like the width a lot... Actually I just like the hoses!"
Thanks!
the age of khaki
If someone falls, hopefully they don’t cut themselves on those rocks in the edging..😳
500lbs 🤔
She knows the importance of first impressions? Then explain those shorts!
This woman has never worked in landscaping. Shes wearing crocks lol. She will twist her ankle in no time.
Never mind her, what about the old man in HIS attire?!
Not one root or rock to dig through. Lol
Or buried CATV line!
Is not that easy to remove grass and soil here in, South Florida. Right under the grass you hit limestone so, is not a walk in the park as in the video.
It's a lot cheaper to order from a local mulch supplier..they sell soil, muches, rocks and shells. They will ship it and dump it where you want it and you simply spread it. Lowes is much more expensive. It is a myth that landscape cloth will keep weeds off. Weeds grow regardless..leaves will accumulate and die and become "soil" for weeds. You are still going to kill weeds with landscape cloth.
Too many trip hazards.
Not enough flagstone. Not all people walk with the same stride. To me that looked uncomfortable and uninviting to walk on. Someone with issues walking or in a wheelchair is really going to hate that
Madeline has to get rid of those plastic flamingos and replace it with ..................…................….anything else.
Hateful ass Ellie.
Good luck keeping that pea gravel in place with wind and rain over time let alone low almost level edging plastic not a good idea at all
@Jack Andrade What is the best option? I wanted to create a small rock border around a tree utilizing plastic and sand. Please advise.
@@jewelofwisdom8279 I depends give you an example I have interlock in my backyard no grass what's so ever but I have a few shrubs and trees, the trees and shrubs are in level ground with my interlock but what I did was I dug about 4 inches below ground around the trees shrubs in a square shape but plastic edging all around so the interock does move or fall in....then I put around the shrubs trees fabric paper then about 1 inch pea gravel on top....then gravel which is bigger....3 inches...then river rock...now no weeds will grown from underground or from on top....because you have to remember weed grows when it makes contact with any kind of dirt...since I have no dirt around my shrubs or trees no weeds can grown...but I also put 2 plastic circular borders around the tree than 3 inches of mulch.....its kinda hard to explain without showing you pics....if you have grass around your tree and want to put stones river rocks or decorative rocks only do that that if you can separate your garden or trees from the grass with a small retaining wall either around the tree or garden itself....I have done rock gardens already at my home its practically maintenance fee no weeds 2 years now....if you send me pics of your project I can explain better your case....I can even show u pics of my stuff....I have b4 and after pics....my email is jackandrade_ca@hotmail.com
@Jack Andrade That will be wonderful, @ sending photos. In fact, I was just thinking the same so that’s right in point! I will do so and thanks again for your reply and agreeing to offer insight! When it’s sent the subject will be “tree border - RUclips”
@@jewelofwisdom8279 no problem
where are the Mexicans that do the actual work between scenes
Black plastic looks cheap and crappy. Trying to hide it with those flat stones looks like a hack job.
Rolback that comment, you.
I agree, so 1993..lol
Who the hell builds a stone path in khakis?
doctajonz tv contractors
Did you really think HE built this? They've got an entire crew that does the heavy lifting. He's there for the high points.
Bryan Dover sooooo contractors
365$? Fuuuck man
She likes the width a lot 😬😬😬😬 why has Ron got his good gear on to do work?? Also that's a crap job 😱
This is a sloppy, poor man's quick fix. The path doesn't go with her 1950's style home.
hater.
Ya this path looks horrible - just being honest
You are.
im sorry but I think it looks very cheap and nasty, just my 2 cents worth
Total B.
Isn't it crazy that he can't even call a woman a woman!!!! The world has gone mad.
A babe......he said a babe.
Looks like shit to be honest.
I use concrete or brick
One of the ugliest pathways you will ever see.
People that put a weed tarp down and then gravel on top are ruining the ecosystem.
Donna Bowman,They don't stop the weeds from growing, just a waste of money and time.
@@coachm86 So what's the alternative?
You commented twice, ya boring.
