- We are going to DIY some Front Yard Landscaping today! I'm sharing Landscape Lighting Ideas using some solar landscaping lights that I found on Amazon, trimming hedges, mulching the garden beds, and finishing up with some Yard Clean Up. We've been working on lots of Outdoor House Projects and Yard Work, trying to prep for Summer. I hope this motivates you to get outside & have fun with your own space! If you want to add lighting to your landscaping, here is the link to the Solar Pathway Lights that I used www.amazon.com/dp/B09P8FQGYQ?...

It feels so nice to have this landscaping project checked off of our list. I can’t believe we had those bags of mulch sitting out for over a year, procrastinating getting this done! 😅
We’re also loving having the new landscape lighting! Here are the links to check out all of our solar lights

It looks amazing! I know all about procrastinating! Lol! ( :
Thank you for sharing the links to everything! ( : I love the solar lady gets and spotlights so much! ( : so cool you can do holiday colors too! ( :
I don't know how you kept your steam as long as you did! Phewie! I was getting tired just watching you! You definitely motivated me, though! It would take me at least a week, though to pull off all yours did in a day! You are amazing and it looks amazing! I 😘 be your house, yard, and landscaping! ( : Soon pretty! ( :
Hello Megan. I am a subscriber from England. Good job. Your garden looks lovely and the lights are a great addition. I don't usually comment - just give a thumbs up, but I hope you re-consider taking down those beautiful fur trees at the side of the house. They are a lovely structural natural feature and you can plant a hydrangea in between them.
Putting hydrangeas in between would be a great idea! I don’t know why I never thought of that 😅
Love to see a couple who works together! Lights and front yard looks great! Have a great weekend! 😊❤
I’m lucky he puts up with me & all of my outdoor shenanigans lol
Megan, I am bit behind but I finally got see how you transformed your outside landscaping, it looks amazing you and your husband, did fantastic job. 💛
Thank you!
Great job. Everything looks great and great teamwork! I recently watched my neighbor trimming her hedges and she laid a sheet down on the ground underneath before she started cutting (I'm sure a tarp would work just as well). When she was done she just gathered up the sheet with all the clippings wrapped up in it and dumped it into an outdoor waste bag. No raking necessary! I couldn't believe how easy her cleanup was.
That’s such a good idea!
Adding landscaping lights seems to warm the space. Nice
I agree! & they are so useful when we get home after dark & realize we forgot to turn the porch light on 😅
You could actually fit like 3 Little Lime hydrangeas in between the arborvitae trees on the side of your house where your galvanized bench is and that would look so good! Also while we are talking planting lol- in the front where your day lilies are, you could plant a perennial salvia like mystic spires or a blue Veronica . They are low maintenance plants like the lilies, come back every year, and that touch of purple would compliment the orangey yellow of your lilies nicely. They bloom most of the summer and would make the area look a little more full. Good job on the refresh! 😊
I’ll look into them! Purple is my favorite color, so I’d love to have some purple plants out there 🤗
Hi Megan, when trimming your bushes try putting an old sheet down and the leaves will fall on the sheets and you will have less mess to clean up. I finally tried this last week and it was a winner. Love your channel and flowerbeds look awesome.
Thanks for the tip! We’ll definitely try that next time!
For your side yard area you should just do some flowers and a bird bath/feeder! 😊 that way you can keep the trees there
We do have a bird bath 😊
Love the lights. The colour options create so many seasonal ideas for the yard at little cost.❤ Love these outdoor videos ❤
I agree! They’ll really enhance our Halloween & Christmas outdoor displays, without having to worry about storing them away during the off season. 🤗
Don’t take out the trees Megan I would just add the hydrangeas in the middle of the trees. It would look so beautiful, love the birds in your yard. Nice job on your yard, I love working in the yard.🌺🌿
Thank you!
Your yard came out beautiful
Thank you!
The rubber mulch will fade and need to be replaced after a few years. Rock, especially River Rock, is what I have and thrilled on how well it looks. Will never have to be replaced. Love it. Arlene
The kind we got it guaranteed 10 years I think 🤔 I’ll have to go back & look
@@lovinglifeasmegan Ok....that would be good if it is.
Have you ever considered putting in some pavers in your front "patio" area? It probably wouldn't be too expensive and be easier on your feet!
Nope, I haven’t.
It's never to early to think about Christmas I start asking my people what they want for Christmas now
I’m always thinking about Christmas 🎄
Your yard is looking so nice and refreshed. Great job
Thank you!
Hi Megan your garden looks beautiful. I love watching your videos. Have a blessed weekend.❤
Thank you!
Megan, you and Derek did a great job (like you always do!). It looks beautiful! That black mulch looks so pretty, and the bench is the finishing touch! 😊❤
Thank you! I love the way the black mulch looks when we first put it down. I wish it stayed that clean all of the time lol
That looks like a porch to me. I have a wooden double rocker in my front yard. I don’t have a porch either. But I go out and sit on it sometimes. I need some of the solar lights. But they would just be things for all the kittens to mess up. Maybe I just need a few. I saw you pull up a Mimosa tree. We have them all over. I pull up every one I see. We already have some big ones on the other side of the fence. My mom loved how they looked. And took one back to Ohio. Well, that thing tried to take over her whole backyard. So I think one of my brother in law’s got all of it out. That’s why I recognized it. Now it’s taking all over our yard. But it’s okay, we don’t down past the fence. Too many critters. I know we have a raccoon who lives down there. And I don’t want to run into him. He’s big thing. He’s been eating cat food and treats. Even though it’s not for him. Your yard looks so good. I used to have a nice front yard like that. Now I just have trees and things. But it’s okay. You can’t really see our house from the street and we like it that way.
They are super durable, so I’m sure they’d be fine around the cats. 😊
Love your new lights your husband did a great job trimming your shrubs your front yard looks so nice ❤
Thank you!
Love the lights! Have you considered removing the large bushes at the front? It would allow more light and I think really update the area even more.
If we ever remove them, it’ll be to add a front porch 😊
Love it!!! Lot of work for sure, but the end result is beautiful!!❤❤
Thank you 😊
@@lovinglifeasmegan i bought th
Nice video. Thank you for sharing 🌹👍
Thanks for watching!
When we moved into our house, our bushes looked very sparse on the bottom like the ones in the front of your house. We pruned them all the way down to almost the trunk and they came back looking brand new.
I’ve suggested that to Derek, but he’s so hesitant because he wants them to grow back in time for Christmas lights lol. What time of year did you do that? And how long did it take for them to fill back in?
Ohh those solar lights looks so cool and pretty! I love how they bc hangs colors. Your front yard looks so nice! & I hear you with how it’s been so hot out lately the humidity makes it worse. & I’m the same way I love Xmas it’s my fav time of year besides Halloween too! I think that idea with the star would be super pretty to do too! Hope you guys have a great week! 😊💜
Either painting the star, or hanging an oversized wreath 🤗
Love it all ❤thank for sharing ❤
Thank you for watching!
Thank you I love it ❤❤❤
Thanks!
Beautiful results!!😊
Thank you! I love how the lighting & mulching turned out 🤗
Awesome job , blessings!!

That was a lot of work but so worth it. Love the solar lights.
We do too! 🥰
Looks nice ❤️
Thank you!
Looks so nice...tfs
Thank you!
Great video, the lights and landscaping looks great!!
Thank you!
Great ideas on thinking ahead on how to decorate. Looks very nice, Megan ❤
I’m always thinking about Halloween & Christmas decor lol
Your yard updates look so nice have an amazing weekend sweet friend ❤
Thank you! ❤️
We've finally got around to doing some yard work too!! Tomorrow I'm gonna try to get the pressure washing done so we can set up the rest of the patio...It's so exhausting but worth it
We’re going to do A LOT of pressure washing this weekend 🤗
Hola muy lindo todo lo que lograron en su jardin 👏👏💪🏡💑 buen trabajo 😊👉 desde argentina 🇦🇷💝💞🤗
Thank you so much!
❤️👏🏼
❤️❤️
Great video, Megan. Those lights are pretty cool. Your yard is so big. I love it. You don't get lots that big in California. Have a great weekend ❤
We are really lucky with our property 😊 new developments don’t have yards like this, but we live in an older neighborhood, so we have I think 3/4 of an acre
Hey friend🎉❤ loving the yard and lights! You could put plants and flowers on the metal seat? Also for summer comfort place a few fans around as well as misters?? Just a few thoughts. Have a blessed weekend❤❤❤
We have fans inside, but I’m not sure where I would put them outside
@@lovinglifeasmegan just for when you are using porches . To keep air flow and bugs away. You can always store or move back inside ?
Enjoyed watching. Worked in my yard n cleaned poison ivy out of bushes n got it. Think I'll try rubber mulch next year. Had regular here so used it for now. Would be nice not to have to replace every year. Let me know how it's working for you.
We’ve had it for a couple of years now & love it! There’s way less bugs & it doesn’t have to be refreshed every year!
Hey Megan! What an awesome front yard makeover. It looks spectacular. I'm loving the pink tree in the front between the hedge trees. What kind is it? Sending blessings to you and your family.❤
We didn’t plant it, so I’m not sure what kind it is. 😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍
❤️❤️❤️
😘😘😘🤗🤗😘😘
Tell me about the rubber mulch!! Do you need to clean it?? How long does it last?? It looks gorgeous. Love your refresh❤
We’ve had ours a couple of years & we love it!
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
❤️❤️❤️
🥰🌹🌹🌹🌹

You and the hubby are so handy, why couldn't you build a small front porch to the side of your step?
We’re not that handy lol. Also, I’m pretty sure you have to have permits & inspections for things like that
I’d have to take those 3 bushes out 🤦🏼♀️ leave the Japanese maple and planted lower shrubs around there so you can actually see your windows
I would like to take them all out & have a front porch lol
Hi! I loved your solar lights . Mine were terrible. I got it from Walmart. I will get rid of it. Where did you get that solar lights ? Amazon? Thank you!
We’ve had a few sets from Walmart as well. They all broke during install, or stopped working half way through the season. We’re very happy with our Linkind lights. The link is in my description box if you’d like to order some 🤗
Thank you!!!
I know you prefer a battery operated leaf blower but trust me. You won't get half your lawn done before you have to charge it.
Good thing we have a corded one then lol
You don't need to remove those trees for Hydrangeas. Two would fit nicely in there
I might try that 🤗
Derek could build a wooden porch for u 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
No he couldn’t 🤣
I am doing my mulch too it will take me 4 days to finish 😢😢😢
I hope you have some help!
🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
❤️❤️❤️
Why don't you and your husband put down a plastic tarp when you are trimming those hedges and bushes, it's much more easier to clean up.
Because we didn’t think of it
Dear Meg, I love you show,
But I always think Why not wear gloves when you work you have to be careful because there are a lot of bacteria nowadays. Kisses and have a good weekend.
I hate the feeling of gloves
I also really hate being called Meg.
Not being nasty, just letting you know. ☺️
I'm very sorry that you were upset by a simple comment, I didn't expect you to answer me this way. The truth is, Megan, I think you were not wise when talking to me. I'm sorry if I bothered you, but that wasn't my intention. See you later.
Those lights are way to expensive 🤦🏼♀️
I disagree
