- I am REALLY trying to make my landscaping pop this year! Lots of work going into it and lots of plants and flowers being installed, but so far I think it is so worth it. I still have more to go, and still have some more videos to show some of the things we are doing. I will also have a video soon with a general walk through with updates on the lawn, flowers, seeding projects, etc.

My favorite “I don’t care, I like the color of black mulch” ❤️😂
You’re a great dad. I was always impatient and got annoyed when they would “help”. If I had to do it over I’d try to be more like you.

How sweet!😍
Memories made with your children worth more than any plant that was destroyed 💛
Oh 1000% agree!!!
@@TheLawnWhisperer I know you do 💛
My son pulled my hostas out when he helped weeding. He was so proud of himself being my big helper. A job I will not give him again😜
my daughter pulled some hostas. they sat in the sun wilting on my sidewalk for over a day. i replanted a few for fun and they bounced back in a week. lol, I swear if people didnt like them they would be considered weeds
Black bark is fabulous, makes the beds perfect and enhance the beauty of the plants.
I agree 100%, black mulch looks great. It makes the flowers and even lawn stand out.
I'm gonna have to say the small plant at 1:45 might not just be small because of the fertilizer. The fact that its mostly shaded by the large plant to its right is probably a strong factor. Great video though, the beds look great!
I agree! Maybe he should move it to the open space where his Japanese Maple died. Then he would have a uniform look in front. IMHO
Plus its downhill from the larger one, so it was getting some fert anyway.
Great idea on the bag that you unzip and walk with it.
That flower combination is money. The boss doesn't like red flowers. Red makes the grass look so green! Audio sounds 👍
If you want some more eye candy and color next to the steps, get a good size ceramic pot and fill it with annuals of differing color and heights. Set it right in the mulch. Boom! You're welcome!
...YES!...that could be a statement piece where the Japanese maple was! Don't forget filler, thriller, and spiller!
=^..^=
Totally agree with the planter suggestion. I have two in my flower bed with a very vivid color geranium. I also have two on my front porch with Easter Lilies that are perennials. The two in the flower bed I get to change every year depending on what color annual strikes me that season.
Those pots are so pricey! Do you have any recommendations?
Good video. Thx.
Maybe a shrub rose.
Bro thats a serious live edge when the kids can sit on it like a step 🤣🤣🤣....mission accomplished!!!
I agree with Clint that Rode mic sound is crisp 👌🏾.
I’m trying my first real garden at 70. I just bought a fixer upper historic mansion in a little town, & my neighbors, who just bought their first home are fixing their property up beautiful, her garden gets better each year. She put down that black, fine mulch, .& I am really digging it. I’m almost done cleaning up the previous owners old mulch, & working around her perrenials I’m keeping, & the plants I just planted. It’s a pretty big front garden, & I want to make it as maintenance free as possible because I have a lot of fun to be had in my retirement. This video is giving me a lot of good info, thank you! We are having the heatwave so I am sitting it out, actually getting other things done, hoping I can get my newest plants in the earth soon.
Thanks!
1.im so glad you let your kids pick the flowers and garden w you. 2. Way to step up your game. I find inspiration photos really help.
Thanks for the tips for the beds! Never thought about putting down pre-emergent in the beds. Will definitely try that to make less work!
I'm a fan of the weeping pine and water features in the corners, but I like the ornamental grass, the spiral and the planted pots too!! Good luck choosing!
Was thinking a hydrangea tree would look pretty in that corner. Just planted a Strawberry Vanilla yesterday.
Great video.
Butterfly bushes are beautiful. There perennials, easy to grow flower all summer and have a lighter pretty smell. Plus the best thing is it brings in butterflies for your girls to see. It feeds them and helps the environment. I have many and they great. Just prune back lightly in late fall before frost. I'd also put a small bird bath next to it. The butterflies and birds need water. 😊🦋🦋🐦🐦🌻🌻
Hostas are the bane of my existence, they keep growing & are hard to remove once they get to a certain size. I had them in my backyard in my last property someone had planted at least 22 years ago, because I owned it for that many years. They look pretty in their youth, but they are ridiculous. I have them on either side of my walkway & they are encroaching on it. I have to deal with that at some point. Your garden looks very promising. Your helpers are doing a great job, & worms are our gardens’ best friends.
Just wanted to say thanks my bro and in make new beds all day yesterday at my new home and your vids were a life saver.
That’s awesome! I’m sure they turned out great!
The flag is the cherry on top..and thanks for the Proplugger info. Definitely interested and looks like this is a must have. Going shopping!
The blank space you asked for suggestions about would be great for a Japanese maple. I don't have much luck with them either, but I sure love them.
Kudos for your parenting practice. Your kids are blessed and are your blessing!
Stumbled across this, reminiscing on when you were my student teacher in middle school. Awesome to see your success!
Great ideas. My brother had a lawn business, and he would help me out with my yard detailing. He died a few years ago of cancer. Now I'm taking your advice. ❤
Again I just in awe of you garden work…&!I agree about the middle hole digger. Well worth the money and your back❣️❣️ it was so sweet of the children came out to help you. I couldn’t believe the little one was strong enough to carry that bag of fertilizer for you. God bless him ♥️
I do hope everything grows as you planted it because that’s the only problem with themed roses if something doesn’t grow or some grub worm eats the roots off and you have an in balance so I encourage you to buy some extras now while they are available just in case. You can always stick them in a pot in the back yard or along the side because I had something similar like that happen to Me and by the time the plants died and I went to the nursery they weren’t available anywhere and I lived in Wichita Kansas and you were sink there would be plenty of flowers available in a nurseries that big!! So I had to just find it flowers of the same color and put them in there to keep the resume but I know everybody noticed it because I did!
Regarding the big space. There are a number of lumberyards and farm stores that bring in plants in the Spring and fall and I have seen Japanese maple trees there for under $100. They may not have been as big as the one you planted but they’re bigger than your children are tall! And honestly there were some really nice size ones at Thiesens & Lowes!!! I another thought is that not knowing the area Arizona you live in, a double blossom cherry non-fruit bearing would be very lovely there… Get the petite size it doesn’t get more than 5 feet tall. Maybe even get a birdbath to sit beside it if you don’t think the kids are playing it LOL it would break it up from just all being plant, plant, shrubs, plants!
Still it’s a very impressive front yard and I am enjoying your videos. I know everything is going to be pristine and people will stop or slow down as they come by your home. Thank you for allowing us to watch this process and I enjoy the children helping too❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
I'm a fan of the black mulch as well. I think it looks better. 👍
I agree! So nice
Agree
Pro Plugger 😍 gotta get me one of those. So many uses!!
Seriously my new favorite tool! How did I live without it so long
I bought that edger tool and did one of six large beds with it. Love it! I also used black mulch! One bed down!
If you haven't come up with a permanent soution, here are a couple suggestions for the blank corner: Try a trio of ceramic pots in a coordinating color with the house and fill with bright annuals, including a couple begonias to tie in with your border. Or do a circulating water feature with a bubbling large rock, surrounded by small black polished rocks, to create a welcoming entry.
If you chose to do the ceramic pot idea, vary the sizes. Another words, one rather large one, step it down but the smallest shouldn’t be too small. I like the idea of a water feature also 😊!
a few days ago, burning weeds, now, easy weeder.
🤣🤣🤣
He’ll learn, how is he going to learn the skills of gardening? Give him another chance
Definitely agree with the black mulch. I got natural mulch a couple of years ago... by the same time the next year, it was literally gone.. AND it doesn’t look at good! Black mulch for life lol!
That’s what you want to happen unless you prefer pallet wood that takes years to brake down instead of shredded bark that feeds the soil to your plants.
Place a water feature in that spot. A nice fountain and place lights around it so it’s lit at night.
Omg! You are the best! Keep on with the videos, love your humor and black mulch! Thank you for getting straight to the point ,
Looks beautiful! A tall bubbly fountain with more hostas around the base would look awesome in that open spot near the steps. 💦 👍🏻
Update with how the beds look now! Great job 👏
Unfortunately I no longer live in this house 🥲
Flag was a nice touch for the video. Enjoyed the family weeding and planting
I'm with you on the black mulch. I like the look I put it down.
David Austen rose in that corner! 🌸
Looks nice and your daughters are learning the love of the land.
Looks awesome!! Well done, my friend! I love some fresh mulch and red begonias.
Looks good! For that front corner, I love this little tree called a dappled willow. It is seriously the coolest looking little tree and it stays small. I have one by my front and back door
@@aaronrodarte8240 is that the tree that looks like the little umbrella? That would look nice.
Dappled willows are beautiful; however they grow 8-10 feet tall and wide so may not be suitable for that corner near the stairs.
Upright evergreen
I switched my red mulch out and put in rubber mulch. Deep darker look but clean, neat and keeps the weeds out.
That black mulch really pops next to that dark, dark green grass.
Thank you for your video. Don’t worry about what other people say you do. What works for you if you like the black mulch do the black mulch it does make everything pop. I just ordered a pro plugger. Can’t wait to get it. Thanks for your input have a beautiful day. God bless you and your family.
A Peony would be perfect in the empty spot. It blooms around Memorial Day with big flagrant blooms. When they die off you still have a nice green shrub the rest of the season.
Hydrangea multi color bush for your corner. PS I use black mulch too, it makes the colors stand out. And putting your American flag out made my day.
Nicely done. Excellent patience with the kiddos, too.
A suggestion would be to plant a Heather bush in the area by your front entrance. They are hardy and bloom twice a year, spring and late summer / early fall.
Awesome job!! Looks amazing and yes love black mulch too
I just Find Your Enthusiasm contagious I like black mulch too, it looks the best. My brother is a red mulch guy that looks so artificial to me
Great vid. Good info. That tool looked great to use. Your girls priceless.
Just gorgeous! I vote for replacing the red maple. Will complement the red flowers nicely. Great job!
Oh, just heard you say you had one already and the frost got it...ah! 👍🏻👏👏👏👏
Nice , I love the look of the natural border , and I also just changed from the red mulch to the black , I like the look so much better , Great videos , love following along , even tried the rubber mulch in one area close to the back door . very happy so far .
The black mulch looks great. Keep the videos coming.
Looking sharp! And the flower bed looks great too! Your bed is going to pop in no time!
Good job bro. Take it a step further and encourage fast growth for your new flower. Hit em wit miracle grow.
Put a big Lawn Whisperer W in that empty spot! 😁
Great video! Easily the best RUclips channel out there!
A weeping larch shrub would fill that spot beautifully, lawn looks awesome!!!!
With you on the black mulch. It's my favorite look.
It looks terrific , especially with the addition of a the
Young " Personalities "
You brought to the yard 🤗
Have you considered a Ginger Wine Nine Bark to the corner ?
Your front entrance looks so inviting., don't take too much away from it . The dark branches of the nine Barkley's will stand out during winter months and
give a winter interest also . Just a thought . It will give a very nice backdrop to those bright colors in the foreground of center stage too ❗
Thank you for sharing all "your little gardening helpers " .
They are such a blessing 🌤
Black mulch looks like regular mulch when it’s wet, and regular mulch always looks best when it’s wet. Black mulch for the win!
Loved not only the transformation of your flower bed, but oh my those cute little helping hands, so adorable! 🥰 God bless your family. Loved “oh oh!”
By the way, what do you think of hibiscus for that corner by your front stairs!
Butterfly bush is a great choice because you can always cut back and not damage the plant growth if it gets too big
Black mulch is awesome!
We use black hemlock mulch as it’s supposed to keep fleas out and doesn’t have splinters in it like the red barkdust does. We love it and get many compliments on our front yard using it. I am thinking about getting that tool to edge with. We have old sidewalks that are rocky and tend to break up when we use the weed eater tool. Great video!
Ravaged by wildlife. Showed us your bush. Deep drilling action. Surprised this one made it past the censoring algorithms. 😂😂
“That’s a big bush.” 😂
that's what he said
The black color make everything pop. I anxious to try some mulch dye I saw used in another video advertisement.
For your corner at the entrance, how about one of the Proven Winners hydrangeas. You can find them for almost any zone and in any size…from compact to gigantic. If you are zone 4 or higher most should do just fine. Zone 3 is pushing it as I found out this winter/spring when several of mine succumbed to our -20 week. Or if you want an evergreen, one of the dwarf size spruces.
Love your wagon..dumping mulch that’s great..gotta have tools to ale a Gardners or easier… I have black mulch too ..love the black mulch your plants pop
A ‘Fine Line’ buckthorn looks similar to a Japanese Maple and may fit into this landscape. Another option would be a columnar rose of Sharon such as ‘Purple Pillar’
You are such a sweetheart with those darling girls! Love the yard...the planting request for the corner...what about a Japanese maple in the back with a semi circle of dwarf white dianthus in front. Will bring in the white element again, but bet you have an even better idea! Can't wait to see what you did! Cheers and God bless!!! ❤🌺🐝🌹
Dark mulch looks so good !! I always go Dark Brown
A weeping snow cherry tree would look awesome in the corner.
Nice helpers😉. Looks great 👍🏼
You should plant a hydrangea tree in that open space. Just planted one myself and love it
That flower bed is looking great!
Love the black mulch too. Putting down 5 yards today. Maybe put another blue hydrangea ? The Endless Summer brand bloom all summer. Great video brother.
Put a large lawn ornament, bird bath or a garden flag in that empty space. Always enjoy your videos by the way.
This was great! Good info and personality too!
Also the wisteria plant whether it be a tree or bush would work there in the corner. A person can keep it trimmed and yet it would offer some height and a bit of shade for your hostas. I had one with gorgeous purple blooms and grew it on a trellis and it was picture perfect with a bench set underneath. It was great for prom pictures LOL
Black mulch matters!
I like the black mulch as well, it has more contrast!
Nice little helpers!!!
The beds look awesome!
A summer wine plant/bush would look great in that corner by your railing. But your landscape looks great!
I like the black mulch but my favorite is Pine Tree Bark 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Same here. Pine bark looks awesome when it's wet. Dies the job. Smells great and composts well over the winter.
If you don't like that tree you could replace it with a butterfly bush. That would fill that area nicely. The open spot you could put some type of welcome sign that can be decorated for the different seasons. Kids could have fun with it too.
Stepping up the flower game!
Not sure why you need the herbicide stuff. Good woodchip won't kill weeds, but it's easy to weed if you just go over it on a regular basis, like cutting grass. It makes great soil (a bit of blood, fish and bone is nice too) and just needs topped up about once a year. If you want colour without too much work, a photinia is nice, but they do take off and grow into very large shrubs/small trees (we have a patch of them) and they'll drop all their leaves in the winter (which I see as a bonus addition to compost). Azalea, dwarf rhododendron, clematis (they like their roots in shade) - so many options. In you can't make up your mind, stick a large, decorative pot with a plant support in it and grow sweet peas. Cut them often for the house and they'll flower all summer.
Thank you for making this content! You're extremely helpful.
Great job... Love the dark mulch... Perfect edging...
Speaking about the dyed mulch "I don't care. I like the look of the black mulch."
I loved that.
It's kinda sad that online, people have to justify their gardening choices.
I really enjoy your ideas on edging! Thank you.
Thank you for liking black dyed mulch! I love it! Does not seem to have hurt any of my flowers or shrubs.
I'm going to try this, been following your channel for awhile
Wine and roses for the porch (where you had the Japanese Maple). The shrub near where you hung the flag is a yellow forsythia. Cut it back and it will reward you (down to 12").
Very nice job. Great tips about tools too! How about a Gertrude Jekyll Rose bush in that corner? David Austin Roses are bred not only for their antique perfume, but for their repeat blooming characteristic.
