Flower Bed MAKEOVER With Retaining Wall and Irrigation Drip System 

This is the most exciting video I've watched it a long time ! I really want to know what plants you put in there!!! Great job .

Ask the wife, mulch or rock. When she tells you, you will have the correct answer. 😁😁😁

Hola top noch que bueno es verte siempre esperando tus vídeos que tengas una linda mañana bendiciones para ti y tu familia soy Lupe pizarro de Cuenca Ecuador Cuenca Ecuador 😀🇪🇨♥️

Looks great! Big improvement from the 2 lonely bushes that used to be there. Should look beautiful once you finish it off. Well done! 👍

Oh meant to say that the wall turned out super amazing and really changed the look of the house. When you mentioned red maple my first thought was, 'will it clash with the red bricks?' then, 'is that too close to the house for a tree?' Can you grow Esperanza’s where you live? The yellow blooms would be a nice contrast & the size is easily managed. Can’t wait to see the next video of this project.

You definitely spent more time on leveling than I did on the fire pit patio I built two years ago. I was like, 'eh, it's level enough' and now I need to redo it this year.

Well Brian, you and Justin did a stellar job! I love the transformation, I didn’t want the video to end! The landscaping process was so enjoyable to watch! ☺️ thank you!

Looks great! If you're still wondering which tree to plant on the end, I would suggest a 'Slender Hinoki Cypress' tree. It grows to less than 12' and 2' wide. It has a kind of whimsical look. The dark green would stand out from the red brick front unlike a Japanese maple and those can get quite a spreading root system. Just a thought.

Awesome transformation Brian! Very professionally done. Can’t wait to see what kind of shrubs/flowers you add.

Oh my goodness! Ya'll did an Awesome job! It's going to look Amazing once you get it finished! Absolutely beautiful job! God Bless

Wow! Looks super Brian! Justin did a fantastic job too. Can’t wait to see part two. ❤️🇦🇺🇺🇸

What an improvement! Can’t wait to see the finished product! Your neighbors ate going to be jealous!

Oh come on Brian you are doing plumbing butt get a longer t-shirt please haha. My grandson is also autistic. Dawns here ☀️👍 Blessings to all the family.

Love what you are doing with your beautiful new home Brian.. as usual you and Justin have done a stellar job and looking forward to seeing the next installment

Justin Has the Same Disability As My Most Amazing Grandson.. My Grand son Always Wants To See Justin.. He Inspires My Zoe ✊🤛 Now My Zoe has A Rock garden and A Tiny plant Garden.. Please Tell Justin He Inspires and Is Such A Huge Blessing for My Family 🙏🏻✌🏻Especially for My Non-Verbal Zoe who Has A Tablet and watches Justin❤️🙏🏻👍

A small dwarf weeping conifers would look nice in the round part, small root system like a Cedrus Deodara Pendula or a Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana Ellwoodii Pom Pom would look cool. a feature tree

Be careful about adding soil above your brick line, can give termites entry. Looks great. Like a professional.

Great video Brian, for only really doing lawn care and knowing a little about landscaping that is awesome! I do about 50 50 lawn care and landscaping and the more you do it the more tricks and easier it becomes! Can’t wait for part 2!

Dang @Brian!! That came out awesome brother!! Nice to see my home state named in your video with the Kentucky tall fescue.. lol !! Stay blessed brother!!

It's so nice that you have taken the time out of you busy schedule to do a few jobs around the house! Your son is a great help! Your home is very neat & well taken care of, I love the green garage! You have taken on a massive job, but in the end everyone is happy. What a great job you both have accomplished!!!

I love this! I personally love rock. It looks so good! I would watch any home renovation projects you do.

That was a close call, you almost got your grill knocked out 🔨🫣

So excited to see this pop up. As always a great job. Love watching you guys.❤️🌸chilly here in Kentucky.

For a drrip line irrigation, there are several types of lines depending on how much water you need per minute. I like to install my drip line after planting.

I'm with you on rock being easier to clean out after trimming Brian. Looks real nice.

Brilliant tip about mixing the topsoil with the grass seeds to put grass right up next to the stone wall! Thanks for showing such wall-building details, especially the level line and how to deal with the slope.

Did you use any kind of cement or glue to hold the bricks together are you just set them on top of each other great job

Looks great, you both did a fantastic job. Good luck with picking out your flowers.

I think the finished product is amazing. Well done. My neighbor taught me mix my seed in dirt a long time ago and it woks every time. I can’t wait to how it looks with plants. A Japanese maple would look awesome on the corner!

WOO-HOO! Been waiting to see your flower garden since you bought the house! Looking forward to part 2! Flowers, trees, bushes gives a balance to land. Masculine/feminine. Fantastic job you guys! Neat, pretty, and gives eye appeal.

You are doing what I love to do the most. It looks awesome! 💖 I see the ortho on April 4th and should find out what I'll be able to do. I do have some long term issues that won't be helped by more PT and will just have to adapt to them. I will just be glad to get back to work! :-)

I really enjoyed watching this video. I’ve put in walls before (a complete novice), but I had no idea you could get caps for the top. Definitely very professional looking! I can’t wait to see what plants and flowers you put in!

I thought Japanese Maple before it flashed onscreen. I vote for rock for ease of cleanup. You and Justin work well together. The cap really dresses the wall up!

I'd you finished it? I can't find part 2?

Love the home, but would love to see some modern but rustic shutters on the brick. Stained a very dark chocolate, but not black to go with the dark colors some of the bricks. I think the green should also be painted a different shade of green. Not light though. Great job on those stone brick edging. The wrought iron railings would look great dark brown or black for contrast too. It would update your home I think. Love your video!

It looks really good, perfect! So I sure could've used you guys, as I spent all weekend scalping and weeding my gardens... Ow, the pain. 🤪

Hi from uk Brian👍👋 looks like you guys did a great job here 👌 once the bed is full and flowering will really set the front of house of and you (dare I say another laughable sentance🤔) go on then !! ""Looks like you set this decision in stone""👌😂 cant wait to see fanale and how it turns out for you 👍 nice to see you getting round to doin simething for yourself 👍 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋

Turned out nice! Always start your retaining walls at the lowest end. As a landscape installation contractor for almost 30 years, I would not put dirt up against house. Brick and concrete will soak up water too.

Looks great. Very professional. Can't wait to see the finished garden. I vote for rocks.

That wall !! Now I understand some of what’s going on in our yard with stone walls and caps that don’t budge…landscape glue who knew!?! I love this drip system that will be buried, right? I’m so frustrated trying to rake with system hoses every which way on top of gardens ugh. Thank you for such good explanations…my brain is now cooking up some outrageous changes in our future 🤣😂🤣

Looks great! Can't wait to see it all finished. (You have a good assistant helping you out!)

Excellent video 👍🏼

I just did this back-break work last summer. Thanks for the topsoil and grass seed idea. It's going to look great when you finish

Love it! I love mulch too...it looks more natural but this is your home. Japanese Maple would look wonderful with supertunia vista's spilling over the wall. An arch structure against your wall would look awesome. Whatever u do will look great

Nice job! Great tips. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to see the plantings.

absolutely amazing sir! Fantastic job!!!

Absolutely love the colors of your house!!! And I really like you made the circle big because it looks really cool with the stacked stones. Can’t wait for the next video!!

20:35 or you can buy a 1/2”poly cap

A pretty large undertaking. It would be so nice to have that sod cutter - I have to use the shovel and foot method (slow and so uneven) And I'd give anything for your watering system - I haul hoses. I liked the music thrown in. I'm surprised the Mrs. wasn't out there making suggestions - guess she leaves the lawn work to you. :) You looked cute out there on your belly to get a bird's eye view on the leveling! Japanese Maple-expensive but lovely. So far it looks great.

whats that machine called @4:30

I'm loving it! Can't wait to see it all finished.

Hi Brian,you & Justin did an amazing job.A Japanese maple would be beautiful.I have rock in my flower beds because of wind & leaves blowing but you do what your family likes.I learned a lot by watching this.👏🏻😊👍🏻

One thing you should’ve done and building this is use a tamper to tamp down that gravel as much as possible to create a firm base. Just tapping it with a hammer might not be enough. You could have played the theme song from Benny Hill, as you were building that wall in fast motion, if RU-vid would allow it. I think that’s one that they do allow. Where do you live? Oklahoma?

Awsome look. Very strainuouse work. Can hardly wait for the finished result. You and your helper are amazing to me. Thanks for sharing.

That’s an awesome landscaping man

no compacting the base GOOD LUCK FOUNDATION

Awesome video. Thank you for sharing how you got that bush stump out. I am inspired and I will try, especially since it has rained, which should help with digging and pulling.

Your neighbors are gonna be mad because you altered your yard Karen’s will say you damaged the Resale value lol

Hey! I love what you did there! You say you’re not a professional at it but it’s perfect! You guys did a wonderful job!!! 😀

It looks very nice. I can't wait the final effect with all the plants and bushes. Greetings!!!👋

Brian and Justin - looks fantastic! What a difference! 💚 You guys do great work!

Great job you guys! Looks like a really great start Mr Brian! It will be very exciting to see what you decide to fill the beds with but I can definitely appreciate your dilemma between stone and mulch as I think the same with preferring mulch but liking the convenience of stone for easier maintenance with a leaf blower. I'm sure this is such an incredibly silly and incredibly novice question but might there be a similar color of stone to the color of mulch that you would like so that way it would possibly give the illusion of having mulch from afar via the stone color but while having the convenience of the stone for easier maintenance? Sort of like a mixture of both worlds in a sense? I'm sure that's completely and totally the wrong thing but wondered if by chance that could help you get to have sort of a little of both, I dunno, lol.. 😊

Приятно наблюдать как работают профессионалы 👍 как всегда все аккуратно и красиво 😊

I will agree with James, ask your wife. You and Justin did a really fabulous job, can't wait to see the shrubs, flowers or trees you intend to plant.

Definitely Japanese Maple. Man I bet a dead blow hammer work way better than the rubber mallet I’ve been using that just bounces right off. It kind of works I guess. Tedious process for sure lol

What was the machine that was diggin up the dirt called?

Really nice job brian nice to see you are as perfect for your own gardens as you are for every one else's

I lift up everyone's prayers, wants and needs to You Jesus, please pour out blessings. May Your favor, grace and mercy be upon the world. In Jesus name come help us all. You know our needs and everything else about each of us. In Jesus name amen thank you Jesus praise God 🙏🕊️💕🔥🙏 Help people to be rooted and grounded in Your love. That they are living in the truth being taught by Jesus. Jesus Christ is the son of God who died and rose three days later and loves all of you. He died for everyone and wants you with Him, to know Him and live for His glory. Come be saved eternally and spend time with Him to know Him. Be free, forgiven, healed, delivered, saved, baptized, whole and let Him show you how He is everything you need. Ask anything in His name 🕊️💕🔥🙏 amen hallelujah praise God thank you Jesus 🙏 Show God, live for His glory. We are to be an example of Jesus for the world to see Him and want to know Him and know Him more. 🕊️ 🙏🔥 💕 2 chronicles 7 14 says if My people humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear them from heaven and heal their land. People need to turn from their wicked ways, Jesus paid for it. They need to repent, to be cleansed by His blood and live Holy because He's Holy and righteous because He's righteous. Our God said to stop sinning in many many scriptures and He paid for everyone to be cleansed of sin, to live how He said. He dwells in the temple (your body) and said not to defile the temple. He said to defile the temple is death. He's always serious about everything He said to do. He's just as serious about what He said not to do. We live in obedience to His law, every word if it! Deuteronomy 28 there are blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. These go into the following generations, the 3 and 4th. Our children pay the price for our sin. Stop sinning you are sending consequences to your loved ones. By God's law you are. If you don't believe me ask Him, in Jesus name may you see and know the truth in it's fullness. He's worthy of everything He said and paid for, so I implore you to do as God said. Jesus said If you love me you will obey me. Praise God thank you Jesus in Jesus name 💕 🕊️ 🔥🙏

I can't get over how clean and amazing USAs middle class neighborhoods look like (although a bit too empty sometimes). I wish my country wasn't a *#?ole. I wish they'd implement regulations, so people cut their damn lawns and took care of their edges and walkways... And that includes apartment micro districts.

Very nice! I do like the idea of a Japanese maple or a dogwood also would look good with your home. There are different types. I'm sure whatever you choose will look wonderful!👏👏😊

Hey- So you like mulch but it's high maint. And you don't like rock because of color. Break out the paint sprayer and paint the rocks. Problem solved. LOL. Have a good day.

Hey! Been watching for some time now! Have tyou ever thought about using CPL filter on your lenses? I always mesmerized by the moving cloud in the background once in a while. CPL filter helps to neutralize the exposure difference so its not changing as much!! Keep doin what you doin, sir!

I seen this come back up in my viewing history ,...but I seen it before ...Was just really waiting to see what you planted there...Even iff you didn't get to film it, Brian!!

Won't burying the drip cause problems down the line (plugging , leaking , repair) ? Under the mulch would be more convenient and just as effective.

*That Bush went, "Ouch, ouch"... I did not see you prime that PVC pipe for that head or nothing - Just stuck it back on? - **7:23** Looks great. My only concern would be settling without any rebar or concrete on the inside surface?*

Your yard sure was ugly but with so much potential, mine is bad, well used to be my mom's but she passed almost 4yrs now and her whole yard died with her, I watered and watered and it just wouldn't take anymore😢😢, I'm the neighbor with the bad yard😡😮‍💨😮‍💨

I noticed that you did not use mortar between the stones. Won't they move? You said that you used "landscape glue" for the caps. Does that work well? I'm wondering because this looks like something that I would like to do.

A lot of hard work with an absolutely beautiful result.

Awesome job! How did you mark the angles for the caps when going around the curve? Or did you just eyeball them?

I would add mulch . Using stone mulch is a fad and requires constant cleanup of leaves and other debris to keep in looking good. Too much maintenance in my opinion. I prefer pine straw or pine bark mulch. But there is a variety of colored much.i think planting beautiful dwarf hydrangeas, liariapi, and hosts. I would also plant a large Colorado blue spruce or a blue Limber pine or vanderwolf pine out front

WOW! Great looking project. I'm curious why your house has a grey bricks under and around that one window. Never seen that before

Love the new wall and shape of the bed. Just a suggestion, go to a reputable nursery for advice on plants and trees. Such a chore if you would have to take something out that got too big. That new garden will add a wow factor to your property. Can't wait to see what you decide.

Weeping Japanese maples are a favorite of mine. Easy maintenance and don’t overcrowd. I would’ve prolly run that downspout out of the bed to a pop up especially if you’re going to mulch.

Hello! Could you please let me know what brand/style these bricks are? Trying to match mine that are no longer made from a decade ago and these look very similar! Mine were chiselwall from Lowe’s in charcoal/tan color. Thanks so much!

Besides not properly preparing the base, you didn't make the base thick enough. Unheard of to just pour it from the bag an inch thick with zero compaction, etc. please watch some youtube videos to learn how to properly prepare the base, dude.

Where is part 2?

Japanese maple tree I think is perfect!!! Exactly what I was thinking when I saw you add the circle

Nice job who the company made the retaining wall I live in Michigan and like to add to my Company B&P Landscaping greenhouses

Japanese Maple are beautiful, but I have read they don't like northern wind. If you are in the right zone, maybe a crepe myrtle would be pretty, a dwarf variety.

Nice job with the wall, the only comment I have is that the stones should be splitting the joints half one one and half.on the the next. This would help keep them from settling downward in a straight downward line. Mutual Materials recommends this method. Good job, and glad you did not get hit with the hammer in the beginning

@Top Notch Lawn Care that is a great video. Can’t wait to see the finished flower bed. Do you have a video on how you measured and cut the cap stones so they fit in snuggly? That’s the part I have a hard time getting right.

I’m invested! What did you use…mulch or rocks? And what plants did you put in? We need a follow up video!! 😀

I've never seen grass seeds planted like that! some are gonna be so deep they wont germinate.

This looks fantastic, Brian & Justin. I love the retaining wall. I think a flowering cherry would look gorgeous at the end. Japanese Maples are pretty, but the color starts to fade the older the tree gets. I've had several over the years and eventually pulled them all out. Plus, I think the flowering cherry would look beautiful with the green paint on the house and the bricks.

You said a tree that is colorful and I immediately thought of a Japanese Maple! I want one in my back yard but with the soil we have I'm not sure it would survive.

Judging from the wind I would bet you live in Oklahoma!!! Vey cool project!

How is your son doing? I miss seeing him helping you on your videos. You were talking a tree in the corner? How about a fruit tree, maybe an apple tree? Then you could make apple pies, applesauce or just have apples to eat. lol

Did you happen to re do the first level of block work to make the blocks to work bond the best way to do blocks/bricks is to always start at the lowest level and work your way up that way you will make sure that you will follow through with bond also I have a Japanese maple tree in my backyard for the last 30 years that is over 20 feet high and and a spread of over 40 feet wide maybe better to use a weeping maple

You failed to prepare the base at all. You should have compacted the dirt, then laid the base compacting it ion layers, then laid the blocks. This will will definitely move and fail with time.

8:40 Flashback to 10 year old me throwing chopped oak tree cut with Dad and not looking to confirm he was ready as the wood left my fingers and into his face...part of you wanted to giggle and other part to pass out.
