Great job on the random tasks project. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you and Janey for Dig, Plant, Repeat making top 5 of the top 20 gardening channels on You tube in a you tube poll. Janey's love for gardening comes across so genuinely, so it is a much-deserved honor in my opinion Well done, Jason.
The stones will be for drainage to prevent water damage. You might have pipework under it to a inground soakaway. If you concreted you might get an ingress of water when it occasionally rains heavily there, I’m especially thinking of your rains from a couple of years ago at your previous property. A solution would be to put in some proper drainage channels with grates over the top connecting to your drainage system or a soakaway thus creating a flat surface. Speak to Jerry at creekside about his underground drainage solutions around his driveway parking and garage.
My two cents about the rocks by the carport is the pervious section between the asphalt and concrete allows for a drainage channel. Maybe you could get a metal drain cover (like the long narrow deco strips Michael uses, just wider) and remove just a few inches to make a narrow trench with a cover.
Hi, Jason. In response to your request for ideas for the area between your driveway and concrete, a couple of things came to mind. First, I wouldn't put concrete or asphalt in that area, as I think you may need the drainage when you have rain. That gave me another idea -- what about installing the metal drainage grills that Michael Glassman always uses on his patios? You could direct the rain away from your house. Another idea would be to put artificial turf down. That would still allow for drainage, while creating some natural-looking green space that doesn't require maintenance. There are some nice artificial turfs out there today. Or you could use the same small pebbles that you have in the front of your house on your patio and use the "glue," so you don't have to worry about them getting messy and locking them into place. Hopefully these ideas help you find a solution. Can't wait to see what you do!!
Agree with Heather, the rocks are for drainage. If you decided to remove I’d replace with proper drainage that Michael Glassman loves with the metal grate over it. But don’t concrete over it. You will lose expansion/contraction flex for heat, cold and any heavy rains could come into carport/house
The gravel area between the carport concrete and the asphalt is probably a drainage area to keep rain from puddling. You may be able to replace the gravel/rock with a channel drain. A channel drain (or connected series of channel drains) along that edge would do the job of curtailing any excess water issues, and would alleviate the issues with gravel getting misplaced.
Looking good! I agree with the drainage/stones. How about making a dog cam? Attach a GoPro camera to Monty’s collar. It can be added to the end of the regular videos.
Hey Janey, if you ever get a chance to go to the Atlanta Gift Show it would be worth the trip. Its called Americas Mart and its a wholesale trade show for people who have gift stores and also garden centers. When we had our gift store we loved going to this trade show. We always found so many great things for our store. The variety of things is overwhelming as people come to this trade show from all over the world. The winter show actually starts tomorrow, January 15 and it runs for about a week. The summer show is in July. It was the highlight of what we did for our business and so much fun. We owned our store for almost 20 years and looking back was a huge part of our family life. I still do a county fair over Labor Day weekend and it keeps me involved since my husband passed away in September of 2020. We were married 53 years. He was my best friend. Love all of your videos Janey and Jason. You both are doing a great job. !
Nice job! For the area between concrete and carport- maybe remove a couple inches of rocks and fill with decomposed granite? It's permeable so if you do need it for drainage would still work.
Hi Jason and Janey 🌺 . Well doneJason , you did a wonderful work . Congratulations to Janey for coming the fourth place for the gardeners . Have a beautiful day .🌻🌺🌻
Have you guys ever considered putting some of those Vego metal beds lining the side of your carport? It would make a wonderful staging (waiting) area for plants to sit in their pots and easier watering since they’re off the ground until you have time or find their homes in the garden. As I saw Jason tidying up the area I envisioned it. I think it would solve several issues at once. What if you remove the rocks and put in creeping thyme or something else you could walk on. That’s a simple idea until you figure out a permanent solution. I love your tote area. So tidy! The white really does brighten up the space. You guys always inspire me in my yard and garage.
It might look good to dig out the rock, make a straight edge on the asphalt side and put a couple of rows of the paver stones that you used for your patio by the hot tub. Just a thought. 😊
I think the rocks between the concrete and asphalt are probably to address drainage issues. What if you dig them up, create slightly wider, straight margins and insert a decorative brick ribbon. Note, I would leave a half inch gap between bricks to allow for drainage.
Awesome job Jason. Glad to see you working so hard. Enjoyed your content too. You will make Janey proud. Like to see you both doing projects. Say hi to Janey. Hope she is ok!
I forgot about Random Task, that's so funny. Good job Jason. There is a chipped gravel that kind of locks together that might be a better choice for that strip, I assume what's there was an easy fix for the step down to the asphalt.
Good morning Jason. Jobs well done!!!!!! The row of rocks/gravel between the carport and asphalt is like a dry creek bed. It helps keep the water/rain water from pouring over and flooding or from creating puddles. It help with the drainage and keeping the water from your foundation of the house. Jason, I love it when you do some of the videos so keep them coming. Have wonderful evening with your family.
Great video. I'm in KY and buried in snow and ice. This was a pleasant watch that I enjoyed very much. So tired of the cold - sigh. Thanks for the video.
Hi Jason! It always feels so good to get Random Tasks done, great job! Question, is it possible the perimeter rock beds are required for drainage away from the house somehow? By the way…great chariot, what fun that’s going to be! Zone3 Manitoba 🇨🇦❄️👏
I loved this video...I love tagging along with people as they do their errands and tasks...gives me the incentive to get off of my keister and do my own random tasks.🌿 Good job Jason. Would you be open to digging up the asphalt and gravel and putting down crushed granite? It's efficient for drainage and is cost effective and looks great..🌿
I believe that area with small rocks is a French drain. Maybe when it rained a lot there was problems with water accumulation. I don’t think you should concrete it over.
That rock situation looks like a French drain was installed or something like that. With all the concrete, excess rain could be an issue, but as you’ve already discovered; your property has had a long history of change. Could replace the top layer of those rocks with an actual grated panel and still have drainage without the safety concerns.
The rocks are for drainage. Do you have gutters or gutter guards on your roof to take the drainage away? Also, I think you need to keep that hubby! lol!
Great job and am sure your family appreciates it all! My random task for the day it to get my Christmas decor down and put away! You are way ahead of me. Of course I had to put in 2 seed orders first. 😉
Hi Jason, what a great job tidying up! So satisfying getting these tasks done isn’t it? Janey is lucky to have such a wonderful husband. For your trellis by the shade garden you might want to consider solidifying the outer edges by putting in hooks on the fence and house and tying it into that or putting a few tall rebar stakes to tie to. Once that clematis fills in more it’s going to get pretty heavy and need more support.
Thank you Tammy! Yes! I almost did this but was getting short on light and wasn’t sure that the wire I was using was the best option. But I will probably add some additional stability.
I have used paver underlayment that I bought at lowes in bags to pack in places like between your blacktop and carport. It is crushed and packs really well and the grey color would blend nicely...great job on the video Jason!
Great job! Wish I was as motivated. Could you use the decomposed granite near the concrete to fill that space? Stainless steel hose clamps would work to secure the trellis situation.
Doing things that make your space more welcoming is always a good day. Your question about that small space between the drive blacktop and the concrete could maybe be dug out and filled with your crushed granite material.
For the dangerous gravel border, maybe dig out what you can and put a row of paver stones in that area. Fill in with polymeric sand or ground cover or whatever to keep things from moving around. It might actually be an attractive transition area.
Hi Jason 👋 You are Awesome 😎 You are a perfectionist in doing the Jobs the right way, I'm telling my husband to fix a 💡 bulb in Store room for about a 3 months and yet he is about to fix it 😭 by the by my husband is a Electrical Contractor 🥺
Random tasks often only get done when scheduled. So kudos to you for making that happen. In the words of Austin Powers to Random Task "...That really hurt! I'm going to have a lump there, you idiot. Who throws a shoe!? Honestly, you fight like a woman!" 😂 Hello to Monty, you beautiful doggo.
Great job, Jason! Congrats to you and Janey for being voted so high up on the top 20 gardening channels list!!Your channel is AWESOME!!
Great job on the random tasks project.

I think we need a regular Random Task Tuesday!
Yes!❤
Absolutely! This would be the motivation we all need.
Great job, now can you come to my house. LOL

Jason, Janey this sounds like a good plan
Yes, I need to investigate further before I make any big changes for sure!
@@Jason_DPWR, what about using the “rock glue” that y’all talked about when creating the front walkway?
My two cents about the rocks by the carport is the pervious section between the asphalt and concrete allows for a drainage channel. Maybe you could get a metal drain cover (like the long narrow deco strips Michael uses, just wider) and remove just a few inches to make a narrow trench with a cover.

Use the spray glue on the rocks …..should help a bit 🌻
...I tho't about that too!... 🤔👌👩🏼🌾💚 =^..^=

Congratualions Janey and Jason on making the Top 20👏....I was screaming...I just knew you had to be there❤❤❤❤
It always feels good to get things checked off the to-do list!
Special video!😊❤😊
This is such a feel good video, I love it! Working together while you do other things---seeing change by eod. What fun this was to watch!
Hello. My husband suggested using copper wire to secure the wire frames/arch because they won't rust and corrode.
It might look good to dig out the rock, make a straight edge on the asphalt side and put a couple of rows of the paver stones that you used for your patio by the hot tub. Just a thought. 😊
Love you both!! Your RUclips channel starts my day off hapoy.😄
Hi Jason! Your cleaning? Huggicates and love! Wind behave!❤😊❤
You could dig the rocks, put pavers , then plant a creeping plant so there is no mud
My thoughts as well.
The gardeners solution. Love it!
On trellis put in a bigger rebar on all corners. Also make it much taller up trellis. Great job tidying up!
“Honestly….who throws a shoe?”….loving the Random Task reference. The metal
Arbor is looking fantastic with the clematis.
Good job. We all have random things that need done . Take care.😊
I think the rocks between the concrete and asphalt are probably to address drainage issues. What if you dig them up, create slightly wider, straight margins and insert a decorative brick ribbon. Note, I would leave a half inch gap between bricks to allow for drainage.
Great job Jason. I use aluminum chain link ties to tie my arbors to T posts. It doesn’t rust out.
Awesome job Jason. Glad to see you working so hard. Enjoyed your content too. You will make Janey proud. Like to see you both doing projects. Say hi to Janey. Hope she is ok!
Jobs well done Jason. I'm sure Janey will be very happy.
AHHH I love random task days, so relaxing to watch. I'm in 10" of snow, so vicariously living through Jason right now.
Nice work Jason.
😂 I know that villain, got pumped by Mr power 😂😂😂😂
Very satisfying Jason…
Awesome video Jason. I don’t know about the rocks but to me it needs paved. Like the rest of the driveway. Expensive but so worth it.
Very nice Jason I'm sure Janey will be proud of you and thankful. 🙂❤️
In the spots you walk across the most, I would replace the pebbles with a paving stone.
you done a fantastic job. thanks jason for sharing. hope you have a great day!
I forgot about Random Task, that's so funny. Good job Jason. There is a chipped gravel that kind of locks together that might be a better choice for that strip, I assume what's there was an easy fix for the step down to the asphalt.
Good job Jason 👏

Well done, Jason! Always great to get things crossed off the list.
Good on you Jason!!!😊
Great video. I'm in KY and buried in snow and ice. This was a pleasant watch that I enjoyed very much. So tired of the cold - sigh. Thanks for the video.
Could you use the same mulch/stone glue on those rocks that you used up front? At least to keep them a little more contained?
Hi Jason! It always feels so good to get Random Tasks done, great job! Question, is it possible the perimeter rock beds are required for drainage away from the house somehow? By the way…great chariot, what fun that’s going to be! Zone3 Manitoba 🇨🇦❄️👏
Jason, nice to see you doing a video again! For the patio, maybe a dark metal grate for drainage? ❤M
Joe suggests trying polymeric sand for your carport ditch if you don't want to put metal grates over it.
I loved this video...I love tagging along with people as they do their errands and tasks...gives me the incentive to get off of my keister and do my own random tasks.🌿 Good job Jason.

Good job jason ya we need more sun time
Maybe Monty was running around like a crazy dog because he wanted you to give him a ride in the chariot! 😊🇨🇦
Maybe use that gravel glue on those rocks by the carport.
I'm sorry that this is random, but I'd love to see an update on your climbing hydrangea plant, if possible 😁
You need rebar was tall as your trellis and tie it together with strong wire.
Hi Jason, what a great job tidying up! So satisfying getting these tasks done isn’t it? Janey is lucky to have such a wonderful husband.

Thank you Tammy! Yes! I almost did this but was getting short on light and wasn’t sure that the wire I was using was the best option. But I will probably add some additional stability.
I noticed you had a a few carts and I wondered which you found most useful especially on gravel?
Would large pavers be a possibility to replace the stones?
I have used paver underlayment that I bought at lowes in bags to pack in places like between your blacktop and carport. It is crushed and packs really well and the grey color would blend nicely...great job on the video Jason!
Enjoyed your video today Jason 😊
Great job! Wish I was as motivated. Could you use the decomposed granite near the concrete to fill that space? Stainless steel hose clamps would work to secure the trellis situation.
Thanks for the motivation Jason but it is cold out, therefore I will working on the garage😊
Can you use the same stuff you put on the rocks at the front of your house that glues them down?
Doing things that make your space more welcoming is always a good day. Your question about that small space between the drive blacktop and the concrete could maybe be dug out and filled with your crushed granite material.

Hi Jason 👋
You are Awesome 😎
You are a perfectionist in doing the Jobs the right way, I'm telling my husband to fix a 💡 bulb in Store room for about a 3 months and yet he is about to fix it 😭 by the by my husband is a Electrical Contractor 🥺
Hire a local electrician that is his competitor to make a point.. he will never live it down with his crew
❣
You are a bit further south than us. Our sunset is 4:38 pm --way too early.
Random tasks often only get done when scheduled. So kudos to you for making that happen. In the words of Austin Powers to Random Task "...That really hurt! I'm going to have a lump there, you idiot. Who throws a shoe!? Honestly, you fight like a woman!" 😂 Hello to Monty, you beautiful doggo.
😂😂😂
Can you remove quite a bit of those drip edge gravel stones and then add a good layer of the golden crushed granite?
Or cement with pretty river pebbles pressed into the top?
Jason , hang the bicycles up in your storage garage . We hang ours up when not using
Use your pebble glue and some edge right to keep it in place
If you patch anything use asphalt patch instead of concrete… it will look much better
Try mulch glue, spray on
Jason needs a Random Task Guy hat!
I actually thought of putting a hat on my head in the thumbnail photo but then forgot to do it! 😂
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Put the mulch glue on the rocks between concrete and pavement
Metal zip ties are your friend. Lol.
👋👍
Morning
Seems like we always have random tasks to do
Reall well done 👍🏾
Maybe use your spray glue on the gravel?
Use those dangerous stones, move to dry creek bed.
Hey 3 tasks done, feels good to get those monkeys off your back. And the rest will save for another day. 😂
