Giving our BORING front yard a Makeover on a BUDGET / DIY front yard landscaping project 

Grrrr totally forgot to add the plant names lol. I will find the tags and add the names under this comment if your curious lol sorry

Everyone needs a Bobby and Cambriea in their life 😊

Yard work is hard work and holy moly, you guys knocked it out!

The value of curb appeal is just wild! You guys knocked it out of the park! That space is beautiful!

Cambriea. One time I got so sunburned that I needed to go to the doctor but I had no insurance so I called the ER and begged for help over the phone which they are not allowed to do but this one guy helped me♥️. He said even if I went to the ER this is what to do. Get some CLEAR aloe vera gel. You can put on as much as you want no limit for safety and you can even keep it in the refrigerator to keep it cold feeling. He kept repeating to NOT EVER USE THE GREEN GEL. He said the green gel will hurt you and make you sick. I had an extremely bad sunburn that day and kept putting on a lot of CLEAR ALOE VERA GEL. Wow. Wow. Wow. The next morning it was all healed up and no longer painful. I burn easy so I use it all the time now. And an added benefit is that aloe vera gel is very healthy for your skin whether you have a burn or not. I love it. I keep a bottle in my refrigerator always now. Just remember only clear NO GREEN. Very cheap at Walmart. You will love it. Love you guys

Looks fabulous! I ALWAYS use cardboard, not weed barrier. The cardboard actually decomposes, adding organic material to the soil. FYI: I always loosen the roots around plants before planting since usually they are root bound in the pots. If roots aren’t loosened, the plant will not be able to get all the nutrients and will die. As a professional landscaper, I have found that this is usually why plants don’t survive when I check out clients’ plantings. If you notice plants not doing well, I suggest you dig them up and loosen the roots. Don’t throw them out! GREAT job overall!

It looks totally fabulous what a beautiful upgrade to the exterior of your home... I would put edging between the grass and the mulch to avoid cross over of the grass and making it easier for Bobby to trim the grass.

Stunning transformation. Take it easy girl. No more heavy lifting!!!!!!

Please thank Bobby for his service!! What a great transformation please take time to enjoy u both!!!

Cedar shutters would look amazing and also wrapping the column in cedar would tie it together. The landscaping looks so great! ❤

You two did a fabulous job with the landscaping. The house looks totally different now. I absolutely love your choice of plants.

Love the new landscaping ❤and the sitting space 😍

Sweetie, just a little tip to save money. Your local city dump site has free compost and Mulch. I now save a lot of money...

So pretty! You might consider putting in metal edging between the grass and the mulch to keep the edge crisp. It’s easy to trim then.

You and your husband did a beautiful job!

It looks amazing, you both did an amazing job! You may want to put an edging between the mulch and the grass to prevent the grass from encroaching into your mulch and the big plant you moved will need a lot of water as you can see its in shock (droopy leaves) and give it a regular feed and it will be back to normal in no time! Now girl you and Bobby relax and enjoy your pregnancy!!❤

Girl you did that in your sandals like a pro!

I believe I would have moved that bush by the garage door on front by the end of the house, so it wouldn’t obscure your view out your picture window. Looks amazing.

Your daughter is just so darling! It makes me miss my granddaughters when they were that age! 🥰 You’re such a hard worker. Great job! -Susan

5 days! That is a miracle and so beautiful. Great design! You are pros! Congratulations.😊

I love EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DID🤗 it’s stunning and it was a family effort 😊beautiful 🙏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🤗👏🏾

Adding potting soil before planting would ve helped the plants thrive better! Also breaking up the roots a little.

Another thing you may want to do is start adding some ground cover in the mulch areas. Just be careful not to get invasive plants. I had a beautiful lime green gr. cover that started to take my entire landscaping & also started in our grass in the 1st spring season. I had to did it up to remove the roots before i got it to stop. It took 2 years to totally remove it. Since then we have used various succulents like hens& chickens in different colors. They spread nicely, tolerant the heat. Gr. covers will eventually remove the need for mulch. Some even produce small flowers.

Your yard looks absolutely beautiful! I have always done my own yard work and landscaping. It is therapy to me. I live in an active neighborhood where families are out walking and riding their bikes. I have had people stop and tell me I have one of the prettiest yards on the street. You should see how amazed they are when I tell them I do my own yard work. My state is still having some cold days, but after watching you two, I cannot wait to get back out into my yard. Once again, you did an amazing job on your yard. Have a wonderful week, friends!

I love the addition of the rocks to fill in spots. Good call!

Hi Cambriea it turned out gorgeous you both worked so hard,I think a few little solar lights along the path would be lovely there are so many now to choose from have a lovely week.😊

Landscaping looks great and by the way the color of the house looks just fine it’s such a pretty pop color I love it❤👍🏻

Looks amazing!!!! I absolutely love the look of mulch as well. I feel like it makes the plants really stand out. Looks so clean and fresh! 😊

I would suggest a white fence panel, tall or short, to hide the metal pipe and utility meter on the right side of the garage. Not only would it hide the pipes but would be a great background for the colorful plants you planted there. Would also tie to the mailbox.

The landscaping looks fabulous! The plants will grow and fill in with time! Love the rocks!🪴🌳🌴🌿🪴

Amazing transformation! The sitting area looks so much bigger than it did before. I would live that in my yard.

What a difference. You both have done a great job. 🎉

Wow, everything looked so amazing and I cannot believe it was just you and your husband doing all that work! You are now my new hero! The only thing I think maybe you could add is maybe a bird bath or a water feature but everything else I would say it's perfect. Beautiful job!!!

Wow! Love the transformation. I’m so glad you are keeping the brick natural. Your home has a beautiful variation of color in the brick. Definitely freshen up the trim and cedar shutters would look beautiful. ❤

I think it is so satisfying to know you did things yourself.

💙💙💙WOAH......what a difference! A labor of love was done! Simply BEAUTIFUL 😍!💙💙💙

I love what you did to your yard it looks so beautiful and be careful you work so hard in everything you do. Thank your husband for his service my son is a veteran also. Love watching both channels continued blessings to your family.

You are one hard worker! Making effort to offer ideas on saving time and money super appreciated! Like your little helper too she was really working hard right beside you...and barefoot too😊

Wow! What a fantastic transformation! Your front yard looks beautiful! I'm glad you decided to keep the bricks natural, they are so pretty the way they are! The flowers are gorgeous! You will get so much enjoyment out of your seating area! Little Freya is so cute! 😂❤ I was a redhead before my hair turned white, and I used to get terrible sunburns! 😳 You and Bobby worked so hard ~ now you can relax and enjoy your front yard, and watch those cool cars and motorcycles go by! 😂💕🌷🩷

You made me feel so empowered watching you do all that landscaping. I always feel like I need to have my husband get stuff going and do everything. Now I know I can do it!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, you are amazing!!!!

Cambria, I love what you and Bobby did with the landscaping. In VA when we do a patio, we would put sand first and then the bricks. Once the bricks were in place , you would add more sand to the cracks. Either way what you guys did is beautiful.

I also use cardboard as a weed barrier. I also go to a local grocery store and liquor store to get free boxes. Thank you for the brick idea for a patio. We are going to do something like that for our patio. And a walkway from our side area to our front. I absolutely love what you did. Wow! Only 5 days. Its going to take me a year or so to do ours as we are a tad older. We have to take lots of breaks. At the moment we are trying to rid our backyard of darn blackberries. Both larger and baby ones. Thanks for sharing this with us. Great job!

Great transformation! Thanks for sharing, Cambriea, Bobby & Freya ❤

Wow! What a difference, looks beautiful!

Great job you two! You work together so well. Enjoy that labor of love!!

Suggestion...throughout summer, begin hitting box stores/garden centers for clearance on "infrastructure bushes/shrubs/trees". Grew up in SC, near beach--pick up some jasmine vines, camellias & "tea ollies"--they do well in harsh conditions. Take your time adding the perfect plants...just get things on great sales, no rush--you're both doing a great job!!

Oh my goodness I love this thank you for telling us how to do it God bless you both 🙏❤️

Hi guys. Oh my gosh, wow!!!!!! I love doing yard work, and I'm in love with how yours turned out! I have brick on the front of my house, and now I know what color of mulch thanks to you to use. Like I've always said, any projects you two do turn out so amazing. ❤. All I can say is WOW WOW WOW WOW, what a huge difference. BEAUTIFUL❤!!!!!! I know how much pleasure you Allport will get sitting outside there because I know I would. Enjoy, and have a great week, and I will see you Friday. Now, young lady take it easy❤❤

Beautiful job. Love the mix of natural stones along the walkway! You definitely saved so much doing it yourself, but do think that if you can afford it, the professional will do an even longer lasting job. They are worth what they ask for if they are true professionals. Love that you have the sprinkler system to keep the grass and plants alive! Love how well you two work together as a couple.

What an awesome transformation!! Y'all did an outstanding job!! Now, no more heavy lifting for you, Cambriea...time to kick your feet up and relax!

That turned out amazing! Now relax and enjoy❤

Black Shutters on you front window would look nice with the black mulch! Landscaping turned out really nice and yes it back breaking work! But worth it!

Bobby Thank you for your service y’all deserve way more that 10%!

Beautiful. Make sure and go around your mailbox to bring it all together. I love your concrete creatures. Adorable! You guys sure are hard workers. God bless

Just Beautiful!!!! Thank you for sharing your tips too!!!!

Love how it turned out. Made a huge impact on the look.

Love it! Sweat equity is always worth it. So many ideas for our yard. Such a transformation.❤❤

You did an excellent job. Next job could be the trim. It is beautiful ❤❤❤❤

Nailed it! So much inviting curb appeal!

Just beautiful!!❤

You and Bobby are a great team and do beautiful work. I love the color of your brick and would keep it. You have a beautiful home and should be very proud of what you and Bobby have done in such a short amount of time. I cant believe its almost 2 years already! Love your channel...

It's beautiful!! Congratulations on the new additions to your family! Praying for all the best!❤

Thanks for sharing how you went about the makeover. Everything is looking so beautiful and you did a great job refreshing this area and putting so many beautiful plants and shaded areas in just to sit and relax and the beautiful garden. Thanks for sharing.

Looks so good and very comfortable. Beautiful

Oh it looks amazing!

Blessings be to you and your family. Beautiful space 👍🙏❤️

Wow! It’s so nice! The seating area looks perfect! ❤

Gorgeous!!! I love the added rocks!! Black mulch is my favorite.

Just beautiful. You should be so proud if your hard work. Now time to enjoy..❤

I can appreciate how challenging it is to do any yardwork. It really came out nice and the budget you kept within....not so bad considering how different your front yard looks.

You two did an amazing job not only that but the front yard looks so much bigger now 👌🏻👌🏻❤️😊

Thanks for sharing Cambria and Bobby very nice job well done looking very nice 👍

Everything turned out awesome! 🥰

WOW There are no words just WOW

Beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing

So beautiful. Great done you two❤

Just lovely!

Beautiful, you both did great. 💖

It turned out beautiful! Now enjoy!

Blown away by this! Amazing!

Wow! What a transformation! Looks great! Sure was a lot of work!. Now you can enjoy it! 🥰

Beautiful job guys Love it, simple but very elevated and classy. Cambria, I agree with you on the shutter idea. I think now the Black trim and shutters would be the icing on the cake with the black mulch and accents it will be beautiful. It will compliment the red brick so well. White may be a harsh contrast at this point, rather than a complimentary feature. Definately Black trim. IMO. No matter what you'll pull it together you go girl~

Turned out so beautiful!! Awesome job

Totally love it!❤

I think you and Bobby did a great job!! It looks fresh and colorful. A fun space to hang out in.

Absolutely beautiful transformation!!! 🫶🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Wow what a beautiful transformation ❤

Beautiful transformation.❤

Thank you! Needed to see a little deeper into myself. I say that most situations are more about perspective than the actual situation. But then I need the reminder as well😊
