Exactly what I needed to see. I have hostas to move and garbage cans to hide, amongst other things. Love how you did it with no fancy presentation or trying too hard. You got right to the point and didn't waste anybody's time. Thanks so much for sharing!
After a number of months of drought and triple degree temps here in Texas, I finally started gradually turning to Xeriscaping. I took my struggling ivy out that ran the length of my house and put down Canadian Large rocks which are in beautiful earth tones. Now, looking at it, I wish I had done it years ago. The ivy was nice, but, I have tons of trees and you can't get leaves out of ivy. If you use a blower, it sends the leaves deeper into the ivy, if I use a rake, I'm tearing off the leaves of the ivy. Now I have the stone down, I put two giant terracotta planters on top one with a palm in it the other I planted about 15 jumbo Caladiums in Florida Elise, and it looks just stunning. Little by little I'm adding areas of stones/rocks simply because I believe in conserving water, and you can always add decorative planters, or garden concrete statuary. You did a great job, it looks nice and neat with just enough color in the stones to make it interesting. About landscaper fabric, a landscaper told me it doesn't stop weeds because airborne weeds germinate on top of the fabric. I never thought about that.
I am a rockhound. I love decorating with rocks. You can place them in planters to keep moisture in. Also keeps the base cool only the top of the rocks get hot.
I'm seeing this video a year later. I love the layout of the gravel and hidden trash can... I couldn't agree with you more, this is completely "Gentle on the ears!" His calm voice and no loud crazy music. It's great! 👍
I like the different sizes and colors of the gravel that look good in your border of hostas. The fence was a fantastic idea for trash barrels. Well done projects!
Looks nice. I like the look, texture and different colors and sizes of rock used. I have a thin strip about 15 inches by 20 feet between my garage, sidewalk, and Townhouse where I used riverrock and I spaced evenly, succulents and Malibu lights. It looks great and illuminates the sidewalk area.
This is just what I was looking for. First time home owner and have some mulch areas that are just blah and wanted something a little easier and love the rock look. Very nice job! It all looks great!
Looks great! I'd rather not use herbicides since they're terrible for the environment. Weeds always grow back so you have to continually apply herbicides. I think I'd prefer using a weed barrier or commit to hand weeding. Unlike mulch, rocks are more difficult to weed so that's the drawback to using them. But rocks look a lot better!
Attention to detail makes all the difference!! I just subscribed after seeing how clean and crisp everything looks. You gave me a couple ideas for my trash cans! Thanks for sharing with us.
I’m replenishing the front landscaping on my house with new river rock. The previous owners used river rock some 35 years ago, and they also used a plastic barrier. I’m replacing & repeating their original idea as shrubbery has become way too big & overgrown, have worn and the rock has settled well into the dirt surface. They, as well as me for the past 6 years, never bothered to remove fall leaves from the rock, so now the river rocks have settled into 35 years of muck, so to speak. I’m investing in a leaf blower and intend to use it several times throughout the fall and early winter seasons. Nice video, too, btw!
@@simd510 - I did use landscape fabric under the rocks and left small open spaces for small shrubs & the like. The size of my landscape rocks are about 1”- 4” diameter. And I use a leaf blower all the time, not just fall season.
I have a small area i want to use rock and came on to see if there was a video so yes, i got some good tips from this. I also like the " no music" . Thanks.
Love it! I'm planning on doing a rock gravel landscape with my backyard, and also, i like the idea for the trash bins as well. Thanks for sharing the video.
At first i was devastated that you were pulling out all those beautiful hosts!!! glad you reused them-could also have sold them to recoup some of the expenses really. love the final lock. you say the mini cobble is about $55/ton where you got it--curious as to about how much that was that you had delivered? not a full ton i would think-maybe 1/4-1/2 ton? love that rock and will look for it when doing my garden project. Thanks for inspiration!
@jbowerdel I almost choked! I didn't realize he was going to put some of them back. Hostas are CHERISHED where I live, and anyone digging them up needs to be prepared to answer many, many pointed questions from passersby. 😊👩🌾🌤
@@IRoYaILTY The are I'm in sells by both the ton and the yard and actually the 1/2 yard. I'm looking to do a project just like this and all I know is I have 320 square feet that needs covered guessing 3 inches deep. I have no clue how much I need!
I’m on the process of redoing my garden… just got an idea on how I’d go about fixing my garden then. Thank you for sharing…. Hope to see more related videos in the future.
Use a preemergent, you wont have to deal with any weeds, either granular or a liquid. I have a rock garden in sun and shade about 3,500 sq ft, I switch up the preemergent from one brand to the next sometimes using using two in late winter to early spring, than one application first week in September. This works really well, just make sure whatever you use is meant for landscaping and not turf only. The cheap route is Preen all the time
Kudos to you 👍my experience with rock and landscape fabric was just the opposite.... Nothing but weeds 😡 so I'm tearing it out for mulch. I know weeds will grow up through the mulch but it seems more manageable to deal with versus rock 🤷
I like watering my rocks also, I used river rock and flat stones to landscape and got rid of mulch, and used a weed barrier. I didn't think about Preen, but I will now. I use round-Up and also pull weeds. Here in DFW, it's the weed capital it seems!
IT looks Amazing!. I have a mess in my backyard. I have Gravel down and so many weeds grow through it. I have to push back the stone and add the fabric. But kudos to you for keeping the weeds down You just have o make sure you apply the Preen
your dad's fence is dope! would love to know how he built it as I aim to do the same thing (after the million other projects I need to complete around the house first ) You did a fantastic job on the stones and hostas.
I like the idea of using the level to spread the sand...and being able to see if the sand is leveled. That's a great idea👍And the hostas look great with the river rock good job👍
You make it look so easy. I'm about to send this to my husband to show him how easy it is. He's going to hate me - or you hahahaha I really like the rock combo of small to larger rock. The concrete look like you really laid cement. Good job. Look forward to more videos!
Thanks for the video, Preen also makes a garden/vegetable pre emergent that's made from corn if you are worried about chemicals. Any Pre emergent will work in your flower beds as long as you don't try to grow from seeds.
I did something similar with our garbage cans. Old owners had a bunch of skinny pavers for a mulch barrier that I pulled out. Laid those down under where the cans go to give them a platform. Then I had 2 scrap 2x6s for the posts and old 6' deck boards that I screwed on horizontally. Very clever idea!
I'm doing a similar project with old river rock for landscaping and pea gravel for a trash can area. You can use cardboard boxes or even newspaper as a weed barrier. Just cut it to the shapes you need and lay it down, dump the gravel on top and no more weeds. Works great and it's completely maintenance free so far!
You did such an awesome job everything looks great I would suggest get rid of the round up that stuff is toxic and it gets in the soil most weeds will die just by spraying them with vinegar and if you don't want to use vinegar when you boil water for vegetables or anything or just boil the water itself and then dump it on the weeds the boil water will kill them without any chemicals thank you for all the ideas with the Rocks I plan on trying some of those
What caught my eye here was the no fabric in the title. Bought a house 15 years ago with large yard areas and that had a stone/rock covered area with fabric underneath. Did not find the fabric barriers really did much, over time dirt settles in the rocks and weeds grow and the fabric inhibited the spread of the various plantings which you want to spread. Over time I have actually pulled up much of the fabric because it was easier to deal with the weeds and for greater spread of wanted plantings. Intuitively I would expect putting fabric underneath but my experience is again is do not bother. Also found fabric was not a water saver.
I'm so impressed! I love rock and I also love hiding ugly things like garbage cans. Lol. Very nicely done. I wish I could shovel rock like that. I'd only be good at driving that little tractor around. Lol. Super handy!
Great neat job done all by yourself & I love the paver work in that trash can space (and your father's fence work)! Will have my husband consider the pavers as our trash can rolls over rocks.
Thanks so much for doing this video. Ive wanted to do something similar but was unsure about the weed situation (considering I wanted it to look nice and neat with minimal maintenance). Im definitley going ahead with this now. Im going to check out your other videos too. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge. 🌴🌴🌴
Thank you. A year later the only thing that I may think about is using a fabric to separate the stones from the dirt so they dont sink into the dirt over time but right now it still looks the same as when it was installed.
@@Schmair87 No problem with weed's! We haven't had any issue's at all! We used a commercial grade landscape fabric we purchased through a local garden center we have in our town. It's the type they use in their own Greenhouse. When fall came last year, we had a ton of leave's, and pine needle's blow in the area from surrounding tree's and it didn't affect anything. We gently raked up what we could into a snow shovel and had to leave the rest. By spring, they just dried out, shrunk up and were gone with the wind! Once in a great while, we may have one 'sprout' pop up but you can easily pull it out root and all like butter. In fact, we just pulled out another very lush garden on the opposite side of our house. A 7'x12' bed and replaced it with the same thing! It looks better, neater, cleaner and again is zero maintenance! I wish we'd done this long ago when I think back to the big expense and hard work of all the garden's I'd put in over the year's! I'd suggest it to anyone!
@@leigarden5890 Hi Alex :) We bought our river rock right up the street, from a local landscape company who has a bunch of different stone and what not. I gave him the dimension's of the area we wanted to cover and told him we wanted it 2 inch's deep or so. (I'd read that if you go deeper than that, it doesn't pack well, and is hard to walk on because it'll shift a lot.) So, once I told him that information, he agreed right away and did the math for us and knew how much we'd need. So, I'd go to a landscape or gravel type company if I were you. Our guy was spot on too with his math! Worked out perfect! If you'd be willing to give me your e-mail address, I'll send you picture's because I don't know how to do that on You Tube unfortunately :( Just thought I'd throw it out there so you can see for yourself. We still love it and did another area this past fall!
Looks great its what we are doing to our side and front yard and under my green house so my floor in the green house is easily cleaned up you cant keep gras nice wouldn’t want it on cement either. I love my little house going up in the back yard.
Wow I loved this video! Direct no muss no fuss and super simple for DIYers! Im definitely inspired to tackle some things outside around my house that I've been eyeing. THanks so much! Also, did your dad anchor the fence he built to anything?

I like the different sizes and colors of the gravel that look good in your border of hostas. The fence was a fantastic idea for trash barrels. Well done projects!
Looks nice. I like the look, texture and different colors and sizes of rock used. I have a thin strip about 15 inches by 20 feet between my garage, sidewalk, and Townhouse where I used riverrock and I spaced evenly, succulents and Malibu lights. It looks great and illuminates the sidewalk area.

Im trying black walnut mulchi hear it is the best for keep weeds from germinating
The other nice thing about landscaping with stone is you can use your garden torch and burn those weeds too. It’s so quick and easy
Really nice looking. And instructions are very clear. Also fun to see your fur baby watching you at the window.

Fabric is a water trapper. Exactly what you don't need at the side of the house. Termites and ants love it.
