I can see why you're so efficient and good at your job, you have good management. White pup Supervisor also picks good supervisory locations to keep an eye on the workers to make sure no one's slacking off. Good job, White Pup!
The Moment they started to build this wide stairs I realized that ther would be something go wrong. There was a great potentiial to work with different steps in the garden and make it feeling bigger, working with Water running down the steps, little by plants hidden spots where you can hide and relax, but this is just a concrete exhibition.
Agreed. Not a garden at all. Gardens are green and lush and true English gardens are the best with the wide variety of well-tended plants. This... is simply a hideous concrete, block, and brick slab, IMHO. Good thing it is not in my yard. I am sure it cost a pretty penny.
It said it was an abandoned garden and that they changed it (transformation) but there is a number of planting spots which I'm sure they are going to use.
Please add a hole to the bottom of the fencing (or maybe the gate) for hedgehogs if you haven’t got one already. Hedgies need to roam quite large distances and completely sealed gardens reduce their territory. They are such great creatures to have in a garden, as they gobble up those pesky slugs and snails! 🦔 🦔🦔
Took an abandoned space and turned it into something usable. Saw so much potential there for planters, vines, stuff on the fencing-- great job! Reminds me of a neighbors yard that had a trellis that overarched their picnic table. Covered in grape vines so literally they were surrounded by grapes. Dog ruled. Had the right idea. When in doubt, park the butt in somewhere shady and watch the work.
I loved watching this transformation. Are these guys professional hard landscapers..? They did a lovely job. Transformation well done. Not every garden needs to be high maintenance.
Love it! Thank you for posting the new video... I love how the pooch is always in the midst of the action....true royalty style! Very cool set up in this yard, everyone should have one! 😁
I love watching your videos. And of course the beauty of a pup doesn't hurt one bit. I see some fussy comments but this might be exactly what your client wanted. Low upkeep with beds available for vegetables and or flowers.
Beautiful garden, beautiful dog, beautiful music - you can never go wrong with a bit of 'Cloudbusting' 😉 Lots of negative comments that I don't understand. I'd love to have a garden that looks like that. Great work.
@@littleacornslandscapes2935 Jan T: are you, by any chance, one of their mums? (What I can't get over is why they're using the name "Little Acorn Landscapes". I bet any little acorn that accidentally fell in the new, concrete, garden would be briskly snatched up and quickly got rid of, for fear that something green might start to appear in the perfect expanse of concrete . . .
@@michaelashworth4172 Hello Michael, no not one of their mums - or any relation / friend / colleague or neighbour - but your comment made me smile - thank you! I'm just a sad old biddy who loves my garden and knows what hard work it is and appreciates a truly professional job when I see one. I'm also old enough, and arthritic enough, to appreciate a bit of paving - less weeding to do! 😉
Beautiful! Easier to maintain and plenty of room to set out tables and chairs for parties and cookouts. Looks like plenty of grass left next to house. Nicely done.
Pretty sure that was a Kate Bush song, not Hard Creation. Must've forgotten to change the credits... I have to add: No one seemed to notice that this renovation was done at the bottom of the garden, beyond the lawn. The garden shed was in disrepair and access to the gate so badly run down as to be dangerous/impossible. The existing back fence was completely replaced. All the complaints about it being a terrace not a garden are examples of a complete lack of observational skills! The remodelling of the existing, run-down concept is beautifully done, with empty beds and box containers awaiting the client's imagination. The few random pots on the patio thoughtfully gathered by the crew obviously belong to the client (likely what gardening they were limited to, considering the shambles beyond the manicured lawn). Now they have options for herb gardens in the box planters, and perhaps some bridal spirea (or tea roses) on the lower terrace. Some wisteria on the wooden structure over the stairway... There is SO MUCH POTENTIAL for gardening here! So drool-worthy! This is now a space to enjoy and share! A sanctuary as opposed to the headache it used to be. I want that garden! I'd love for this company to reno me a garden! Too bad I live in a building. On a different continent.
maggPi Prime, thank you so much for your thoughtful, eloquent words.We'd go as far as a favourable discount for you, if you had a garden and lived on the same continent.Thanks for watching, feel free to comment on any other of our videos. Much love !!!
THIS is an excellent example of what to do with a limited space and using low maintenence patios with lots of pots and a few small raised beds !! BLOODY GOOD JOB MATE -- paul from wales !!
What a wonderful transformation, I did think the added height of the pergola worked really well too as it could be used for ramblers and climbers. I loved Peggy at the end perusing all that she surveys, take care and stay safe.
In the garden of people.... the weeds can be cruel... but the ones who share their works with the world are the most beautiful part of this garden we live in...
Hi guys another great project done. Looks fantastic when planted up and lost that new look it Will bring a smile to your faces seeing your good work in all its glory !! Another old record I haven't heard in years!! Now it's been put on my playlist!! Keep up the good work love xx Carla give ,the dog a pat from me keep the videos coming cheers love Carla x xxx
So... take a place full of green weeds and turn it into a lot of brick and concrete. The real pity is that the guys worked very hard at really good pace to get it done.
Well done boys, fantastic job just what we want and need in the modern world. Easy maintenance with busy lives and containers in which you can grow fantastic plants for colour and can enjoy sunny days sat on the patio. Keep it up lads!
A lot of "expert" gardeners commenting, firstly nice job and great to see great job site management, to all the "experts" it's a sloping site in London, the client dictates the work to be undertaken, I assume the client wanted a terraced garden with some beds on the lower level for planting, this is what the company appears to have provided. Why not just watch the video and enjoy seening people do a good job, you may not like the result but then again taste is subjective, you could also post a video of your wonderful garden with all the amenities you describe in your comment for us to enjoy. Again my compliments to the poster and his crew.
Nice job, pleasant and relaxing looking area but looks more like Xeriscaping than a garden. I imagine there will be more plants in containers as time goes by.
Why do you have a fence, then an empty section and another fence at the end? Why not just put the new fence up all the way at the end where that picket fence is? What is the point of having that dead space between the picket fence and the new one put up?
Jodi Leben, thanks for watching.The tall fence at the back is the garden boundary, at the lower level of the garden.Then we built steps up the higher level of the garden, which has the picket fence, there is a 1.2m level change. The lower level now houses a storage shed and room for planting.... So not dead space, and thanks for taking the time to comment.
@@littleacornslandscapes2935 Interesting. I suppose I'm just used to large open yards here in the us. You don't typically see people section things off like that.
I guess it just seemed like since there isn't much space to be had in London, that the garden would be extended down as far as possible to that very last fence instead of sectioning things off. But I completely understand making the most of limited space.
I'm guessing that the space between the new (lower) wooden fence and the furthest metal fence is an alleyway which services the rear of all the properties on this road. This is very common in the UK.
Ale ślicznie!! Bardzo, bardzo mi się podoba! Lubię takie przestrzenne krajobrazy, wielopłaszczyznowe, wielopoziomowe! Więcej jeszcze bym dodała kilka punktow przykuwających uwagę, ale i tak ślicznie wymyślone! Brawo!
Looks great to me! Can't see what the negative comments are about. They've taken an otherwise unusable space and made it into a versatile space for entertaining and also for utility, without losing any of the usable green space which was already present. There is still a lawn, with gardens along both sides. If i had read the comments without watching the video i'd have assumed they had just paved over the entire lot...
Ok stop bashing this video! The garden is for an elderly person, so it's meant to be low maintenance. Also we have to stop and consider what the client wanted, not us. There is plenty of room for potted veggies and flowers. The trellis could also provide space for roses etc. So everyone just stop.
Wow--great job! Love the Asian influence. And container gardening is so much easier to maintain. Less fertilizer and pesticides need to be used. I usually put foam peanuts or layered sticks in the bottom half, lessens the weight and allows better drainage. Please post updates when spring and summer hit--bet it will be gorgeous!!
Why are so many people bashing on this? If the client wanted it paved then that's what they got. There was grass clearly, it was in the entire video. People need chill their beans and just move with the times.
You Guys are magicians!---I wish there had been a note on the background of the why of the 'before' condition.---And that hanging basket was a nice touch to the timelapse progression!
The clearance was amazing, and getting rid of all that overgrowth and rambling mess was incredible. But the garden and ground could have been put to much better use. I'm sure they had good reason for doing what they did, and to each his own - but there could have, I'm sure, been far less brick, slab and concrete, and far more greenery. Some tree planting and shrubbery would have looked superb... still, I hope they're happy with it. The cost must have been astounding....
Alexandra Abraham, thanks for watching and your positive comment, we are contractors and are bound by our clients requests.We would have liked to add some planting, but often the client does this themselves after we've finished.
@@littleacornslandscapes2935 Hi, and thank you for your clarification. I just re-viewed the ending of the video and thought to myself that the gravelled area at the bottom/right of the steps, in the 'sunken' area, was just crying out for a beautiful feature plant, and definitely something to garnish the fence, perhaps a David Austin climber or rambling rose... a pond there might have been an amazing feature too.... I see they left two areas of soil either side of the path to the shed, but that doesn't leave a huge amount of scope. Still, I guess I'm spoilt... I've just been to see The Lost Gardens of Heligan... just stunning... Not something that's easily reproducible in a suburban garden, I grant you! Great work, guys.
Just saw this, 14 November. Awesome! How the hell did you guys do this??? I have trouble hitting the right end of the nail with a hammer! Beautiful. Congratulations.
Technically it’s a lot of hardscaping so the dog will have a loo, the gravel pit. But if they put some lemon and lime trees in the bottom beds there could be some great parties out there.
So many haters in the comments. Did it ever occur to you that A) The person who owned the house wanted a hardscaping project done and not what was currently back there? or B) A person bought the house and wanted a hardscaping project done back there? There are planters there that they can plant in if they desire, and it would be easier to maintain. Who are you to decide someone's desires? I am sure they discussed what the client wanted done back there, and plans were drawn out, and approved by the client. I think hardscaping is awesome, and honestly it is taking off more since it can be built affordably, lasts an incredibly long time, and looks beautiful when its done. Transforming a run down completely dilapidated back yard into this is absolutely spectacular in my opinion. Hating on it just because it doesn't meet your views on a space is asinine.
1. cover your land with rocks, gravel, so no way water can get in. 2. Cut down any bushes or tree trunks. 3. Apply cement and tiles, to ensure absolutely NO water can trickle down to the ground beneath. 4. build fences. 4. build a few small boxes and fill with earth (presumably brought from somewhere else. sustainably? one thinks not.) 5. be completely asinine and call this a garden
What’s going on at the bottom? What is being planted there? This needs tonnes of soft flowers on the hard fencing and patio. Like beautiful creepers and lots more planting and colour
How long did the whole job take from when you first saw it until you finished? It looks bare now, but I can see where the plantings will be, and it will be a wonderful garden when it's finished.
Read words as they are typed ..abandoned garden......transformation didnt say they were keeping it as a garden. I love plants but at times in my life have gone with a few pots because of life commitments. I have also had full veggies. Grew everything from seed and propagation including two trees from a ficus. Have had high structure and now on my acre retirement lot back to time to experiment with both hardscapes and garden. In this one also difficult with the needed retaining wall. I think its good job. Will probably evolve. Say something nice!
beautiful dog!! lots of work there, nice outdoor space, I really like the different levels, you can do alot of containers and keep a neat space that you can use in many ways:-)
Because, in the UK, the word, “garden” means outdoor area. It does not mean a place where vegetables and flowers are grown. We assume the owners have seen and approved the plan for their outdoor space. Low maintenance seems to be the objective,
Good work - more hard lanscaping that gardening and so many questions - why the wasted space behind the palisade fence; that first small step, recipe for disaster; no shade; no plants....? Where were the owners going with that brief?
