There’s a reason you and Aaron are known as “influencers”…. Influencers for beauty. You’ve made a difference in my life and literally a million others. Your passion and love for gardening is evident. You and Aaron are a great team.
I can’t be the only one that watches Laura do stuff and then literally pause the video to get something done in my garden that I have been putting off?! Laura, your energy and enthusiasm is definitely contagious! 🌱😊 Thank you for whipping me into shape everyday!
@@FernsAndForest exactly! “it’s now or never” is how I get when I watch her videos!! She even inspired me to start my own little youtube channel for fun! 😁🌿
Wow, what a difference that compost made. And the walkways, and the grass, and the trees, and everything! It’s one of those weird time warps where it seems like a long time has passed getting to this point, But at the same time, it’s been so fast! The drone shots show everything off so well. 💚 Question: do you not like burning bushes? I know they grow well there, and I never had any issues with them. ( no diseases or pests?) and they are spectacular in the fall! I was glad you got rid of the spirea. Don’t care for those much.
I honestly can't believe how quickly the new property has developed! It feels like yesterday that we were looking at a great big expanse of nothingness and now it's looking gorgeous, green and full of promise for the years to come. Just so happy to be able to be part of it all. Thanks for sharing this with us, Aaron, Laura and family!
I really appreciate the little family sections of footage you're kind enough to share with us. I have a very different lifestyle to you guys, and don't have children, so seeing Benjamin and Samantha is a real highlight. You don't know how much it can lift someone's spirits! Such a beautiful family, truly. So excited for the flower beds to come. Thank you again
I can't be the only one smiling stupidly at their screen seeing sweet Samatha Grace's chubby-cheek face!!! Adorbs!!! Loved seeing the edging in fast mode! Soooo satisfying to see it tidied up! So much work you all do Laura and Aaron!!! Keep on, keeping on!!! So encouraging for all of us others!! Blessings!!
I know they aren't "technically" a farm but, if you grow up on a farm you learn how to do all sorts of things at a very young age. Just from watching and doing. I grew up on "not technically" a farm. 11 acres in the country and my dad loooooved to garden the same way Laura does. We had an apple orchard, vegetable patch and berry brambles. My mom was in charge of flowers. I can remember my dad's old pick up that he used for chores. There were rusted out spots on the floor and I loved watching the dirt or gravel as we drove around🥴 I learned how to drive a manual transmission, change oil, spark plugs, distributor caps, carburetors, filters, batteries, headlamps (back when it was the lens and bulb combined) I've been in the suburbs for quite a long time now and do all sorts of stuff that my friends and neighbors always say is "too hard" and I should "hire someone". l think being a kid in that environment grows life long confidence. Benjamin and Samantha Grace are so fortunate. 🙂
In Australia you have to do 120 recorded hours (may be more now) before you can go for your licence. My son says he has his hours up on the lawn mower. Benjamin has got his hours up already. 😂
It feels to me like you've reached the tipping point and suddenly it all comes together as if by magic. Just imagine how glorious spring is going to be!
I was an archaeologist for many years, and we always sharpened one edge of our tools with a grinder and/or bastard file. You won’t believe the difference it makes. Work smart, not hard! This looks great, btw. Keep spreading the beauty and joy!
Get the coffee pot on everyone!!! It appears we are in for a long ride with more awsome videos with all these renos and plantings!! Have shovel will dig 💪
Can I just say even though I didn’t physically do it, it was so satisfying to get that edging and compost down and seeing the sectioned area better! This is going to be so exciting to see Laura plant in all these spaces! What a treat to see both kiddos today!
I dug a a flower bed along the back ( Southside) of my home over the last week and a half and did a lot of the planting yesterday morning. Something that I don't think I ever would have done before watching your channel. I was out buying plants over the last couple of weeks and kept thinking about how you say they'll probably be better off in the ground than left in their containers over the winter. Thanks for all of the inspiration and encouragement to try something new (to me). Once I got going, it wasn't nearly as intimidating as I initially expected. There are still a few things I plan to add, but I'm so excited to see how it all comes out next spring and summer!!! 😁😁
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more exciting video without a single plant put in the ground! It’s very inspiring to see it all come together. I’ve done enough house renovations to know how much patience it has take you all to get here. Congratulations - now I get to daydream all winter about what you are going to do with the ginormous flower beds!
What a transformation just with edging! It's so much more tidier with edging. I love how Laura uses the stick to measure out her three foot distance! Based on Laura's other videos, I have also replaced using a "barky mulch" with forested compost or compost and it's just nourishment for the earth, plants and insects. I love watching Laura live out her dreams - inspires me to live out mine in my own gardens. Thank you Laura!
I can imagine that once the delivery drivers have visited the property they would feel a sense of tranquility, peace, and calm before getting back on the road to other customers. Especially once the area has been planted up. Another world altogether. I love this episode as so much of the days were productive. All of you work hard for the love of plants and gardening. Love it. :)
This feels so satisfying and cathartic. Who else was just smiling through the whole video seeing things slowly getting buttoned up? I can clearly see your visions Laura and I cannot wait for them to come true! Jeez it feels like we are all part of your family!
I love this design for your yard! This may be your job, but your whole family is able to enjoy all your hard work! Thank you for taking us along on this development. It’s so much fun to see.💚
Love seeing the whole family outside enjoying all of your hard work. You and Aaron have done an amazing job making a home your kids will treasure forever ❤
this has been an absolutely gorgeous transformation even without any plants going in... I just want to cry it is looking so good... and it makes me realize that I have waited far too long to redefine the edging on my foundation plantings, so that will be started immediately!!! well almost; first I have to wait for the 7 deer in my front yard to move on - lol... also, tell Aaron that we really love when he gets the drone out... the aerial shots are perfect!!!
All is can say is WOW! What a transformation...surprising what some edging and mulch can do! It's looking so great. Kudos to all the hard work, Can't wait to see what you have planned along the brick borders. Laura, this must make you feel so good! Not so messy and chaotic!
Laura edging by hand is so much work as is spreading all that compost by hand. Seeing all your hard work take shape is so inspirational. You and Aaron rock!
Digging out new garden beds are a better workout than any gym could offer! Certainly keeps gardeners in shape and sore! Was anyone else waiting for Laura to realize the flat edge shovel was the best tool in her Arsenal?
Girl. You said “it’s harder than it looks” right after I said to myself “wow - that looks like hard work”. 🤣 These spaces are all coming together so nicely. Love watching the progress. 🥰
I don’t know a soul in this world who can get things done as quickly or thoroughly as you do! You do truly inspire me to try harder every day to get things done and to finish existing projects.
I love it all so so much!!! The compost looks great with your edging. I laughed cause I always think I can do about five times what I can actually do, and like you, it never gets me down. I just keep going. The drone footage was awesome as always. I was smiling from beginning to end! Beautiful new walkways, new lines, all shaping up perfectly!!!
The brick is absolutely beautiful. Benny and crew did a fantastic job. Now I want this along my borders!!! The color is very pretty against the green grass. Everything looks good against that grass! The new property looks amazing. Ive been calling (in my head) the lane, the back lane and your new drive, new way. LOL. I'm picturing a swing for Benjamin in the newest area you're considering seating for. Something nice but can be moved when the littles are older. If you are enjoying that area so much now, maybe worth a thought. With the look of the house now, a cute swing could look good?!? Everything has come together quickly. The drone footage adds so much to the videos.
Holy moly… You and Aaron are such Hard workers… You must both sleep very good at night… Everything is looking fabulous and all of your planning your vision and your drawings are coming to life! I know you are thrilled… dreams do come true!! You have the sweetest family… You are one lucky girl🥰
Benjamin pushing his tractor back cracked me up so much. He is such an adorable lil guy. Cruising past on his tractor today and the other video a while ago when he was racing the gator. Such beautiful and precious moments and memories. God Bless
💜💜 Aaron ~ Another awesome drone visual. Thanks! It makes all the difference in knowing where we are in the landscape. 💜 Laura ~ All I can say is Wow! What a job that was. Your determination and drive is inspiring. The compost made all the difference in seeing the progress of the beds next to the new brick pathway. Which I absolutely love! 💜 Nice job guys! 👍😊💜 Loved today's video and can't wait until the next one!
Oh no, you just gave us a glimpse of sweet baby girl for what seemed like fraction of a second. This was the most abrupt ending Laura, we need more of Samantha Grace please. So heart warming to see her. God bless your babies.
It is so lovely to see it all coming together! Laura, I love that you do the “ugly” work too, edging and weeding and digging; you inspire me! I know I speak for many when I say that you and your sweet family are dear to my heart!
Yulia from Y Garden puts down layers of newspaper with mulch on top instead of removing any of the grass/sod underneath. Apparently the ground is ready for planting after two weeks and all the grass is smothered and has become part of the earth. I haven't tried it myself yet, but since she's a professional I trust her methods. Not that I mind watching you do this for 20 minutes. Love watching you work and do your thing!
I think it’s a great option for those who live in areas that get more rain, I saw her do it and tried it here for myself, although idk how well it would work in high desert. The breakdown would be much slower is my guess.
@@champitadub That is true of course. I hadn't thought about that. Although I do not know how much rain you can expect in two weeks - even in areas that do receive more rain.
Absolutely Loved this Video! Seeing All the Progress is Amazing! But, the Icing on the Cake was seeing Samantha Grace, PRICELESS!! Soo Cute & Adorable. Am I the only one who kept rewinding to see her Again & Again??? Love & Hugs from Yuma, Arizona 🥰👍💞💞💞
I can’t believe you got that all Done in ONE DAY! Ive edged new beds before, so I know how difficult this is. But wow! The finished look looks SO good! Well done!
And this... is where my journey with Laura began! I searched grass edging & sod removal into RUclips one day and she appeared. Almost 2 years later and I'm still watching and have learned so much as a gardener that people now ask me for help/ideas in their own yards..allll thanks to Laura and Garden Answer! (P.S. I always tell them to check out this channel because this is where I discovered my passion for gardening and learned the things I know.)
Another big project nicely accomplished and prepared for your fun planting! Clever way to keep the width uniform next to the brick pathway. Love the drone shots for the big picture! Everything is really coming together for beautiful, gracious living. 🦋⛲
Anyone else getting a Mackinac island vibe? I love how everything you plant makes me want to slow down and look at everything and just enjoy each space. I also wish I had your knees after 30 years of yard work. Beautiful home, beautiful garden, beautiful family.
IDK, but that one spot under that tree looks like it is calling for some kind of an bench or a seating area, just to sit there and look out and enjoy! looks great! HARD work, My goodness woman, you work harder then most men!
Laura and Aaron have an astounding energy level!! And what a great team! So amazing to see all the progress - thanks for the walk about (and the drone views) to get us oriented. So excited to see what happens next!! 💚 🪴💚
IM SO HAPPY WITH THIS VIDEO!!!!! I cannot wait to see what you do with these new spaces!! So much fun! So much to look forward to! This is really great!! Good morning GA fam!! Everyone have a blessed day!!! 😄✌🏼♥️
Wowzers Laura. Working an existing edge can be tough, creating new edges just goes beyond tough! What a great job you did and isn't it exciting to see things coming together? You inspire this 72 year old gardener with every video and encourage these arthritic knees to get out there and keep limber. Thank you for all the inspiration with each and every video.
Everything looks amazing!!!! As soon as you did 3 feet or 1 meter beds next to the walkway, I thought, “I think that’s too narrow.” I lived with simple 3 feet bed on one side of my house and ended up widening it a few feet in March after most things froze after the winter storm we had. I cannot wait to see how you develop those beds! Thank you for your continued inspiration. I wouldn’t have thought I could do the same until I saw you getting in there and digging up the space.
I thoroughly enjoy all her videos, but today’s has been super. Today is the day of making my garden beds bigger. I’ve been thinking about it for days. Thanks for all your inspiration, you are amazing.
For me it is amazing what a huge difference and improvement doing edging and mulching can do for an area. Looks beautiful. I can only imagine the artistry that Laura will create
From personal experience, I know the amount of work, sweat and effort that this takes, you guys are such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing. It's looking amazing.
Did anyone else go -- YAY!!!! Drone footage!!! -- ??? It just gives such a wonderful view. Love seeing it "all come together". It looks fantastic!! Can't wait to see it all planted up and looking beautiful! Benjamin & Samantha Grace are just toooooo cute for words!!
Things are starting to take shape, and I'm beyond happy to see all the progress you made this season. 😍 thank you for bringing us along and filling us up with inspirations and ideas on what we can do in our garden, it may not be big and as grand with what you have, but the motivation and the positive vibes you radiate is enough to keep us going and improve our areas the way we like it. Have a great day everyone!🌻❤️
Lovely how things are changing and we are not seeing your vision. So beautiful to see the beds take shape with compost. Samantha Grace is pure sweetness. Love to see how she's grown! Thank-you for sharing your slice of heaven with your G.A. extended family.
The drone shots really emphasize how far you've come this year. Well done and still plenty of time for you to complete more of your superhuman efforts. I was wondering why you would want to move the final maple, then the drone footage really proved the point. Great to have it for another perspective.
Dreams coming true. Beautiful Samantha Grace, industrious handsome Benjamin, Cheddar and Russell, the Hartley, I think your living the dream and we get to see it all. Thank you Laura and Aaron for including us in your life’s journey. ❤️🌺💚🙃
Benjamin is always a joy to watch as your willing, subtle helper & co-pilot.He's learning lifetime skills from masters! And it was so interesting to see that even with all your advanced technology & equipment, you scribe your flowerbeds just like I do, with a half moon edger! Seeing that clean line go down sets the stage for a job well done!
INCREDIBLE transformation. An alternate idea to the fountain in the front is a fire pit. So warm and cozy to gather round. I know that you guys already have the fireplace in the back, but boy oh boy - a fire pit in the front with THAT VIEW! It would be party central for the adults while everyone’s kids are wearing themselves out on the lawn. You guys are an inspiration to me an my acre ...more than you know!
I laughed twice during this video...both times when you said "I underestimated how long this would take"...yup, we all do that. The time was well spent though. Looks amazing and I'm doing some "back seat" gardening from the other coast. OOOO I'd put this there, and add this, and oh, there's room for another.....lol Can't wait to see what YOU put in that glorious open area.
Dear God that is looking BEAUTIFUL. The grass makes it TOTALLY change. My eyes are super bad, I have no way to get glasses, so I can imagine that the beauty I am seeing is only a fraction of what is actually is. You (family and helpers) are such a blessing in my life. Thank you so much for just being you.
oh my heart... and that truckload of mulch!! i applauded, hahaha... am i the only one who tears up at these drone shots?? to see Laura and Aaron's dreams coming true literally before our eyes... having watched them for so many years, from the day they moved in until now: the ideas, the dreams, the wishlist... boxes being ticked faster than we can count now... and this beautiful family and their gorgeous space... oh my word... I LOVE IT!!! thank you so much for sharing!! 🙂 ❤ thanks for the video! 🙂 ❤
I can finally “see” how this is going to look. You’ve said it before. That is would make sense when more gets put in. I love the bricked pathways. Looks so nice. I am excited to see this transformation. I know you must be thrilled to have it take shape too. Love how you anticipated it taking not as long as it did. Good to know that I am not the only one who does this. Not sure if we get slower with age or if we just get so excited and don’t gage right. I pick B. Because I know it can’t be age. LOL;)
Each time I watch Laura tidying up her garden, I also got an adrenaline rush after and think of doing more for my small space. And I cannot stop wondering where you get all those energies... You are so blessed for having everything you needed for this endeavors- full support from your family and friends and a good health and an enormous energy every single day! Your vlogs inspired me up to this time since 2016...
Really love the drone footage of your whole property as you complete projects! It's just so beautiful and I really appreciate seeing all that you've done. I hope you and Aaron are aware how inspirational you are as well. Watching you complete the vision for your property is really inspiring to those of us gently working on the same.
I never knew how to edge, I doesn’t really seem like something that’s very popular in our area or maybe I just never noticed. Very interesting and it looked so finished and tidy when complete. Thank you for sharing! You deserve a cocktail 🍹
All I can say is WOW!! What an amazing design, workmanship, and plan. How you do all of this yourselves is amazing. I know you have Paul who helps with it too, but still...digging all of that grass out and spreading the compost is so labor intensive and then you have to take care of the kids and animals...I just don't know how you do it. Everything is looking so beautiful and then add in the drone footage, it took my breath away. Just stunning! My husband and I were out in the yard for about an hour yesterday and were so tired when we came inside. We are about twice your age, but still, I am hoping we can build up our endurance! Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us. You are truly inspiring, even to us oldies!!
Does anyone one else think that a Child size fairy garden would be so precious. I don't even know if this type of thing exists. Just popped into my melon.
Have to say, the drone shot following up the path to the front door was amazing. That massive expanse of grass, with the lovely brickwork pathway is already giving your home such a grand estate feeling. It really does make the front of the house look like the front. Can't wait to see how it all changes and improves over the years!
Laura has inspired me so much it’s crazy! When she harvest all that produce yesterday I want to do that to! Even though I have a small space I added a new veggie garden and started planting veggies!
Lots of work. Wow it’s looking so gorgeous. It is all starting to come together. Love seeing Benjamin on his tractor, he’s just all over the place a man on a mission. That baby girl is growing so fast. Such a sweetheart. You’re dream is finally coming true. I’m so happy for all of you. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
every time you mention your future plans for projects, I think "that's a BIG project"- but you guys just keep going at it! Its so exciting to see- and very inspiring as I'm going to tackle our new house landscaping this fall! Thanks for all the awesome videos and can't wait to see how it continues to unfold.
Wow! I'm exhausted just from watching this video! Aaron and Laura are so inspiring. I will never complain about edging my own flower beds again! Thank you so much, LeBoutillier's
That's a beautiful video. With the drone shots I was now actually able to see how the path way now leads into and opens up to the new land . Can see the huge expanse of green playground for the children. Absolutely loving to see the transformation and ideas taking shape. Waiting for a drone shot of the entire land👍
WOW WOW WOW!!!!! What a difference the cut edges and fresh compost makes! It’s amazing how different the property looks now compared to just this spring. Do you ever just take a good look around and really take it all in? I’m always amazed to think how those tiny seedlings and nursery cans you planted in the ground have developed into these majestic gardens. That’s really something special.
Wow! Look at all the young energy. I'm 73 and I have to cut my small front yard on one day then on another day get out the weed whacker/edger to cut the edges! You go girl! You are inspiring!
Even though you had equipment like a tractor you never cease to amaze me with how much you get done in a day! It would have took my husband and I 2-3 days just to do the 1 3 foot wide strip along the sidewalk!
This gave me such a huge sense of peace just watching it, I can’t imagine the peace and sense of accomplishment It gave y’all to finally see the this huge project transformed from an dream to reality. Y’all have inspired me the past few years and It makes me so happy to see you and your family being so blessed!
Hay, you guys remember Laura doing a end of year video of everything she (actually they) did that year? This year would be a long one! The walkway is beautiful! looking forward to seeing the entrance transformation! so pretty already! Good job guys!
OH!! Sooooo satisfying to see some of the projects getting “buttoned up” and it’s not even my property and they’re not even fully planted yet!!! Loving watching all the fun happening!! 🥰
Thank you Lauren and Aaron for letting me join your journey through your beautiful garden I love it so much I've enjoyed it so much of the progress you've both have done it's wonderful
So very exciting to see such big changes by simply edging and spreading compost. My husband said, "oh now Paula will be out there widening our flower beds." Not a bad idea.😄 Thanks for inspiring all of us to use even just a hint of your ideas in our own spaces.
Ok the golden hour tour at the end is AMAZING. Wow!!!! Been watching this channel for several years and seeing your dreams become reality is just SO satisfying.
The area is beautiful, really coming together. It must be so satisfying to see all the months of construction coming to an end with beauty!! Happy for you all.
Oh my word! Your property is turning into Heaven on Earth! I can’t believe in such a short amount of time the transformation that has already taken place! 😍 your filming during golden hour really shows how incredibly beautiful the space is. (Love the drone shots). I am so genuinely happy for you and Aaron and your family. All your hard work is truly coming to fruition 👏🏻🏡🌳🌼🌸
Ok, who else is so excited to see all that space fill up with Laura’s vision???!!!😍
I am! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Me 🙋🏼♀️

I know!
I think we can all agree the drone shots at the end are a finishing touch to the videos! Brick work has tied that area all together perfectly❣️
You're not just designing landscapes, you're building a legacy for your children. This will some day be "nana Laura's, and grandpa Aaron's farm!💚💛🧡💚💛
Awwww
Awwww 🥰 that’s such a beautiful thought

Hello how are you doing, my name is Williams what's your name? Where are you from where do you live?

I love it all so so much!!! The compost looks great with your edging. I laughed cause I always think I can do about five times what I can actually do, and like you, it never gets me down. I just keep going. The drone footage was awesome as always. I was smiling from beginning to end! Beautiful new walkways, new lines, all shaping up perfectly!!!
The brick is absolutely beautiful. Benny and crew did a fantastic job. Now I want this along my borders!!! The color is very pretty against the green grass. Everything looks good against that grass!
The new property looks amazing. Ive been calling (in my head) the lane, the back lane and your new drive, new way. LOL.
I'm picturing a swing for Benjamin in the newest area you're considering seating for. Something nice but can be moved when the littles are older. If you are enjoying that area so much now, maybe worth a thought. With the look of the house now, a cute swing could look good?!?
Everything has come together quickly. The drone footage adds so much to the videos.
Holy moly… You and Aaron are such Hard workers… You must both sleep very good at night… Everything is looking fabulous and all of your planning your vision and your drawings are coming to life! I know you are thrilled… dreams do come true!! You have the sweetest family… You are one lucky girl🥰
Benjamin pushing his tractor back cracked me up so much. He is such an adorable lil guy. Cruising past on his tractor today and the other video a while ago when he was racing the gator. Such beautiful and precious moments and memories. God Bless
💜💜 Aaron ~ Another awesome drone visual. Thanks! It makes all the difference in knowing where we are in the landscape.
💜 Laura ~ All I can say is Wow! What a job that was. Your determination and drive is inspiring. The compost made all the difference in seeing the progress of the beds next to the new brick pathway. Which I absolutely love!
💜 Nice job guys! 👍😊💜 Loved today's video and can't wait until the next one!
Absolutely adore seeing Benjamin riding around in his little tractor! Then seeing the little mini Aaron was just the sweetest thing ever!
It’s so much fun to watch your and Aaron’s vision for this space come to life! Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. 💕
Oh no, you just gave us a glimpse of sweet baby girl for what seemed like fraction of a second. This was the most abrupt ending Laura, we need more of Samantha Grace please. So heart warming to see her. God bless your babies.
The property is looking so beautiful and much more cohesive! Could you do a full driveway tour? (A slow drive through the entire driveway)
It is so lovely to see it all coming together! Laura, I love that you do the “ugly” work too, edging and weeding and digging; you inspire me! I know I speak for many when I say that you and your sweet family are dear to my heart!
Yulia from Y Garden puts down layers of newspaper with mulch on top instead of removing any of the grass/sod underneath. Apparently the ground is ready for planting after two weeks and all the grass is smothered and has become part of the earth. I haven't tried it myself yet, but since she's a professional I trust her methods. Not that I mind watching you do this for 20 minutes. Love watching you work and do your thing!
I watched Yulia doing it and tried it this year, it does work!
@@JRosa-do9ki Excellent! I'm thinking about doing something similar this fall - with newspaper and fallen leaves, to smother some weeds.
I think it’s a great option for those who live in areas that get more rain, I saw her do it and tried it here for myself, although idk how well it would work in high desert. The breakdown would be much slower is my guess.
@@champitadub That is true of course. I hadn't thought about that. Although I do not know how much rain you can expect in two weeks - even in areas that do receive more rain.
Absolutely Loved this Video! Seeing All the Progress is Amazing! But, the Icing on the Cake was seeing Samantha Grace, PRICELESS!! Soo Cute & Adorable. Am I the only one who kept rewinding to see her Again & Again??? Love & Hugs from Yuma, Arizona 🥰👍💞💞💞
I can’t believe you got that all
Done in ONE DAY! Ive edged new beds before, so I know how difficult this is. But wow! The finished look looks SO good! Well done!
I think it took two days.
It was teo days. Midway through she said it was another day and she didn't realize how big the job was. But still all she did in the first day was 😳
And this... is where my journey with Laura began! I searched grass edging & sod removal into RUclips one day and she appeared. Almost 2 years later and I'm still watching and have learned so much as a gardener that people now ask me for help/ideas in their own yards..allll thanks to Laura and Garden Answer!
(P.S. I always tell them to check out this channel because this is where I discovered my passion for gardening and learned the things I know.)
Another big project nicely accomplished and prepared for your fun planting! Clever way to keep the width uniform next to the brick pathway. Love the drone shots for the big picture! Everything is really coming together for beautiful, gracious living. 🦋⛲
Anyone else getting a Mackinac island vibe? I love how everything you plant makes me want to slow down and look at everything and just enjoy each space. I also wish I had your knees after 30 years of yard work. Beautiful home, beautiful garden, beautiful family.
More like New England with the barn and hartley...Or maybe Hudson Valley.... But definitely not eastern Oregon.
IDK, but that one spot under that tree looks like it is calling for some kind of an bench or a seating area, just to sit there and look out and enjoy! looks great! HARD work, My goodness woman, you work harder then most men!
There's something very satisfying about this video. I can't wait to see a spring 2021 vs fall 2021 overhead comparison at the end of the season!
You make everything in the garden seem so easy. Great motivation, especially now that we can see your vision come to fruition.
Laura and Aaron have an astounding energy level!! And what a great team! So amazing to see all the progress - thanks for the walk about (and the drone views) to get us oriented. So excited to see what happens next!! 💚 🪴💚
IM SO HAPPY WITH THIS VIDEO!!!!! I cannot wait to see what you do with these new spaces!! So much fun! So much to look forward to! This is really great!! Good morning GA fam!! Everyone have a blessed day!!! 😄✌🏼♥️
Wowzers Laura. Working an existing edge can be tough, creating new edges just goes beyond tough! What a great job you did and isn't it exciting to see things coming together? You inspire this 72 year old gardener with every video and encourage these arthritic knees to get out there and keep limber. Thank you for all the inspiration with each and every video.
Everything looks amazing!!!! As soon as you did 3 feet or 1 meter beds next to the walkway, I thought, “I think that’s too narrow.” I lived with simple 3 feet bed on one side of my house and ended up widening it a few feet in March after most things froze after the winter storm we had. I cannot wait to see how you develop those beds! Thank you for your continued inspiration. I wouldn’t have thought I could do the same until I saw you getting in there and digging up the space.
Laura's Philosophy of New Plantings
TOO MUCH
IS STILL NEVER ENOUGH!
You Go Girl!
I thoroughly enjoy all her videos, but today’s has been super. Today is the day of making my garden beds bigger. I’ve been thinking about it for days. Thanks for all your inspiration, you are amazing.
For me it is amazing what a huge difference and improvement doing edging and mulching can do for an area. Looks beautiful. I can only imagine the artistry that Laura will create
From personal experience, I know the amount of work, sweat and effort that this takes, you guys are such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing. It's looking amazing.
Did anyone else go -- YAY!!!! Drone footage!!! -- ??? It just gives such a wonderful view. Love seeing it "all come together". It looks fantastic!! Can't wait to see it all planted up and looking beautiful! Benjamin & Samantha Grace are just toooooo cute for words!!
Things are starting to take shape, and I'm beyond happy to see all the progress you made this season. 😍 thank you for bringing us along and filling us up with inspirations and ideas on what we can do in our garden, it may not be big and as grand with what you have, but the motivation and the positive vibes you radiate is enough to keep us going and improve our areas the way we like it. Have a great day everyone!🌻❤️
Lovely how things are changing and we are not seeing your vision. So beautiful to see the beds take shape with compost. Samantha Grace is pure sweetness. Love to see how she's grown! Thank-you for sharing your slice of heaven with your G.A. extended family.
The drone shots really emphasize how far you've come this year. Well done and still plenty of time for you to complete more of your superhuman efforts.
I was wondering why you would want to move the final maple, then the drone footage really proved the point. Great to have it for another perspective.
Dreams coming true. Beautiful Samantha Grace, industrious handsome Benjamin, Cheddar and Russell, the Hartley, I think your living the dream and we get to see it all. Thank you Laura and Aaron for including us in your life’s journey. ❤️🌺💚🙃
Benjamin is always a joy to watch as your willing, subtle helper & co-pilot.He's learning lifetime skills from masters!
And it was so interesting to see that even with all your advanced technology & equipment, you scribe your flowerbeds just like I do, with a half moon edger! Seeing that clean line go down sets the stage for a job well done!
INCREDIBLE transformation. An alternate idea to the fountain in the front is a fire pit. So warm and cozy to gather round. I know that you guys already have the fireplace in the back, but boy oh boy - a fire pit in the front with THAT VIEW! It would be party central for the adults while everyone’s kids are wearing themselves out on the lawn. You guys are an inspiration to me an my acre ...more than you know!
I laughed twice during this video...both times when you said "I underestimated how long this would take"...yup, we all do that. The time was well spent though. Looks amazing and I'm doing some "back seat" gardening from the other coast. OOOO I'd put this there, and add this, and oh, there's room for another.....lol Can't wait to see what YOU put in that glorious open area.
Dear God that is looking BEAUTIFUL. The grass makes it TOTALLY change. My eyes are super bad, I have no way to get glasses, so I can imagine that the beauty I am seeing is only a fraction of what is actually is. You (family and helpers) are such a blessing in my life. Thank you so much for just being you.
I’m loving the transformation. Love when Aaron uses the drone.
oh my heart... and that truckload of mulch!! i applauded, hahaha... am i the only one who tears up at these drone shots?? to see Laura and Aaron's dreams coming true literally before our eyes... having watched them for so many years, from the day they moved in until now: the ideas, the dreams, the wishlist... boxes being ticked faster than we can count now... and this beautiful family and their gorgeous space... oh my word... I LOVE IT!!! thank you so much for sharing!! 🙂 ❤ thanks for the video! 🙂 ❤
I can finally “see” how this is going to look. You’ve said it before. That is would make sense when more gets put in. I love the bricked pathways. Looks so nice. I am excited to see this transformation. I know you must be thrilled to have it take shape too. Love how you anticipated it taking not as long as it did. Good to know that I am not the only one who does this. Not sure if we get slower with age or if we just get so excited and don’t gage right. I pick B. Because I know it can’t be age. LOL;)
Hello how are you doing, My name is Williams what's your name?
Each time I watch Laura tidying up her garden, I also got an adrenaline rush after and think of doing more for my small space. And I cannot stop wondering where you get all those energies... You are so blessed for having everything you needed for this endeavors- full support from your family and friends and a good health and an enormous energy every single day! Your vlogs inspired me up to this time since 2016...
Dang that soil is going to be so soft and improved in a few years' time with all the goodies ya'll are adding to it!
Really love the drone footage of your whole property as you complete projects! It's just so beautiful and I really appreciate seeing all that you've done. I hope you and Aaron are aware how inspirational you are as well. Watching you complete the vision for your property is really inspiring to those of us gently working on the same.
I never knew how to edge, I doesn’t really seem like something that’s very popular in our area or maybe I just never noticed. Very interesting and it looked so finished and tidy when complete. Thank you for sharing! You deserve a cocktail 🍹
All I can say is WOW!! What an amazing design, workmanship, and plan. How you do all of this yourselves is amazing. I know you have Paul who helps with it too, but still...digging all of that grass out and spreading the compost is so labor intensive and then you have to take care of the kids and animals...I just don't know how you do it. Everything is looking so beautiful and then add in the drone footage, it took my breath away. Just stunning! My husband and I were out in the yard for about an hour yesterday and were so tired when we came inside. We are about twice your age, but still, I am hoping we can build up our endurance! Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us. You are truly inspiring, even to us oldies!!
Does anyone one else think that a Child size fairy garden would be so precious. I don't even know if this type of thing exists. Just popped into my melon.
Have you seen the videos on the butterfly garden?
Have to say, the drone shot following up the path to the front door was amazing. That massive expanse of grass, with the lovely brickwork pathway is already giving your home such a grand estate feeling. It really does make the front of the house look like the front. Can't wait to see how it all changes and improves over the years!
Laura has inspired me so much it’s crazy! When she harvest all that produce yesterday I want to do that to! Even though I have a small space I added a new veggie garden and started planting veggies!
Lots of work. Wow it’s looking so gorgeous. It is all starting to come together. Love seeing Benjamin on his tractor, he’s just all over the place a man on a mission. That baby girl is growing so fast. Such a sweetheart. You’re dream is finally coming true. I’m so happy for all of you. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
every time you mention your future plans for projects, I think "that's a BIG project"- but you guys just keep going at it! Its so exciting to see- and very inspiring as I'm going to tackle our new house landscaping this fall! Thanks for all the awesome videos and can't wait to see how it continues to unfold.
Wow! I'm exhausted just from watching this video! Aaron and Laura are so inspiring. I will never complain about edging my own flower beds again! Thank you so much, LeBoutillier's
This was so satisfying to watch! Such a huge amount of hard work, but so worth it!
That's a beautiful video. With the drone shots I was now actually able to see how the path way now leads into and opens up to the new land . Can see the huge expanse of green playground for the children.
Absolutely loving to see the transformation and ideas taking shape.
Waiting for a drone shot of the entire land👍
I absolutely love it. The outlining makes is so much better along with the mulch. I would LOVE to see fountains and seating near the front.
WOW WOW WOW!!!!! What a difference the cut edges and fresh compost makes! It’s amazing how different the property looks now compared to just this spring.
Do you ever just take a good look around and really take it all in? I’m always amazed to think how those tiny seedlings and nursery cans you planted in the ground have developed into these majestic gardens. That’s really something special.
I loved watching this video. "Bottoning it up and making it tidy" brings me a lot of joy, while living vicariously through your garden. ❤
Wow! Look at all the young energy. I'm 73 and I have to cut my small front yard on one day then on another day get out the weed whacker/edger to cut the edges! You go girl! You are inspiring!
AHHHHH! So satisfying! When you were all done and showed us the mulched beds, I thought, hasn’t that always been there?😆 Great work, Laura and Aaron!
Even though you had equipment like a tractor you never cease to amaze me with how much you get done in a day! It would have took my husband and I 2-3 days just to do the 1 3 foot wide strip along the sidewalk!
This gave me such a huge sense of peace just watching it, I can’t imagine the peace and sense of accomplishment It gave y’all to finally see the this huge project transformed from an dream to reality. Y’all have inspired me the past few years and It makes me so happy to see you and your family being so blessed!
WOW! PARADISE-IN-THE-MAKING! THANK YOU FOR BRINGING US ALONG FOR THE RIDE! IT’S MAGICAL!
Nothing like defining the areas! It must feel glorious to you after all of these months of planning. It looks SO wonderful!
Hay, you guys remember Laura doing a end of year video of everything she (actually they) did that year? This year would be a long one! The walkway is beautiful! looking forward to seeing the entrance transformation! so pretty already! Good job guys!
OH!! Sooooo satisfying to see some of the projects getting “buttoned up” and it’s not even my property and they’re not even fully planted yet!!! Loving watching all the fun happening!! 🥰
Thank you Lauren and Aaron for letting me join your journey through your beautiful garden I love it so much I've enjoyed it so much of the progress you've both have done it's wonderful
It looks so good! So amazing how you can't even tell there was a driveway there. Good job on the grass, Aaron! Can't wait to see it all fill in!
So very exciting to see such big changes by simply edging and spreading compost. My husband said, "oh now Paula will be out there widening our flower beds." Not a bad idea.😄 Thanks for inspiring all of us to use even just a hint of your ideas in our own spaces.
Well, this was really cool. Watching this space take shape has been so fun. We need some before and after side by sides or wipes or something.
Ok the golden hour tour at the end is AMAZING. Wow!!!! Been watching this channel for several years and seeing your dreams become reality is just SO satisfying.
The area is beautiful, really coming together. It must be so satisfying to see all the months of construction coming to an end with beauty!! Happy for you all.
Oh my word! Your property is turning into Heaven on Earth! I can’t believe in such a short amount of time the transformation that has already taken place! 😍 your filming during golden hour really shows how incredibly beautiful the space is. (Love the drone shots). I am so genuinely happy for you and Aaron and your family. All your hard work is truly coming to fruition 👏🏻🏡🌳🌼🌸
wow it looks SO GOOD!!!!! i can’t believe what a difference the compost made. i can’t wait to see it all planted up.
Thanks Aaron for bringing Samantha Grace out for us to see this precious child. She's adorable!
