If you want some more eye candy and color next to the steps, get a good size ceramic pot and fill it with annuals of differing color and heights. Set it right in the mulch. Boom! You're welcome!
Totally agree with the planter suggestion. I have two in my flower bed with a very vivid color geranium. I also have two on my front porch with Easter Lilies that are perennials. The two in the flower bed I get to change every year depending on what color annual strikes me that season.
my daughter pulled some hostas. they sat in the sun wilting on my sidewalk for over a day. i replanted a few for fun and they bounced back in a week. lol, I swear if people didnt like them they would be considered weeds
Bro thats a serious live edge when the kids can sit on it like a step 🤣🤣🤣....mission accomplished!!! I agree with Clint that Rode mic sound is crisp 👌🏾.
I'm gonna have to say the small plant at 1:45 might not just be small because of the fertilizer. The fact that its mostly shaded by the large plant to its right is probably a strong factor. Great video though, the beds look great!
I’m trying my first real garden at 70. I just bought a fixer upper historic mansion in a little town, & my neighbors, who just bought their first home are fixing their property up beautiful, her garden gets better each year. She put down that black, fine mulch, .& I am really digging it. I’m almost done cleaning up the previous owners old mulch, & working around her perrenials I’m keeping, & the plants I just planted. It’s a pretty big front garden, & I want to make it as maintenance free as possible because I have a lot of fun to be had in my retirement. This video is giving me a lot of good info, thank you! We are having the heatwave so I am sitting it out, actually getting other things done, hoping I can get my newest plants in the earth soon.
Butterfly bushes are beautiful. There perennials, easy to grow flower all summer and have a lighter pretty smell. Plus the best thing is it brings in butterflies for your girls to see. It feeds them and helps the environment. I have many and they great. Just prune back lightly in late fall before frost. I'd also put a small bird bath next to it. The butterflies and birds need water. 😊🦋🦋🐦🐦🌻🌻
I'm a fan of the weeping pine and water features in the corners, but I like the ornamental grass, the spiral and the planted pots too!! Good luck choosing!
Again I just in awe of you garden work…&!I agree about the middle hole digger. Well worth the money and your back❣️❣️ it was so sweet of the children came out to help you. I couldn’t believe the little one was strong enough to carry that bag of fertilizer for you. God bless him ♥️ I do hope everything grows as you planted it because that’s the only problem with themed roses if something doesn’t grow or some grub worm eats the roots off and you have an in balance so I encourage you to buy some extras now while they are available just in case. You can always stick them in a pot in the back yard or along the side because I had something similar like that happen to Me and by the time the plants died and I went to the nursery they weren’t available anywhere and I lived in Wichita Kansas and you were sink there would be plenty of flowers available in a nurseries that big!! So I had to just find it flowers of the same color and put them in there to keep the resume but I know everybody noticed it because I did! Regarding the big space. There are a number of lumberyards and farm stores that bring in plants in the Spring and fall and I have seen Japanese maple trees there for under $100. They may not have been as big as the one you planted but they’re bigger than your children are tall! And honestly there were some really nice size ones at Thiesens & Lowes!!! I another thought is that not knowing the area Arizona you live in, a double blossom cherry non-fruit bearing would be very lovely there… Get the petite size it doesn’t get more than 5 feet tall. Maybe even get a birdbath to sit beside it if you don’t think the kids are playing it LOL it would break it up from just all being plant, plant, shrubs, plants! Still it’s a very impressive front yard and I am enjoying your videos. I know everything is going to be pristine and people will stop or slow down as they come by your home. Thank you for allowing us to watch this process and I enjoy the children helping too❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
The blank space you asked for suggestions about would be great for a Japanese maple. I don't have much luck with them either, but I sure love them. Kudos for your parenting practice. Your kids are blessed and are your blessing!
Great ideas. My brother had a lawn business, and he would help me out with my yard detailing. He died a few years ago of cancer. Now I'm taking your advice. ❤
Hostas are the bane of my existence, they keep growing & are hard to remove once they get to a certain size. I had them in my backyard in my last property someone had planted at least 22 years ago, because I owned it for that many years. They look pretty in their youth, but they are ridiculous. I have them on either side of my walkway & they are encroaching on it. I have to deal with that at some point. Your garden looks very promising. Your helpers are doing a great job, & worms are our gardens’ best friends.
Thank you for your video. Don’t worry about what other people say you do. What works for you if you like the black mulch do the black mulch it does make everything pop. I just ordered a pro plugger. Can’t wait to get it. Thanks for your input have a beautiful day. God bless you and your family.
If you haven't come up with a permanent soution, here are a couple suggestions for the blank corner: Try a trio of ceramic pots in a coordinating color with the house and fill with bright annuals, including a couple begonias to tie in with your border. Or do a circulating water feature with a bubbling large rock, surrounded by small black polished rocks, to create a welcoming entry.
If you chose to do the ceramic pot idea, vary the sizes. Another words, one rather large one, step it down but the smallest shouldn’t be too small. I like the idea of a water feature also 😊!
Definitely agree with the black mulch. I got natural mulch a couple of years ago... by the same time the next year, it was literally gone.. AND it doesn’t look at good! Black mulch for life lol!
That’s what you want to happen unless you prefer pallet wood that takes years to brake down instead of shredded bark that feeds the soil to your plants.
Looks good! For that front corner, I love this little tree called a dappled willow. It is seriously the coolest looking little tree and it stays small. I have one by my front and back door
Loved not only the transformation of your flower bed, but oh my those cute little helping hands, so adorable! 🥰 God bless your family. Loved “oh oh!” By the way, what do you think of hibiscus for that corner by your front stairs!
It looks terrific , especially with the addition of a the Young " Personalities " You brought to the yard 🤗 Have you considered a Ginger Wine Nine Bark to the corner ? Your front entrance looks so inviting., don't take too much away from it . The dark branches of the nine Barkley's will stand out during winter months and give a winter interest also . Just a thought . It will give a very nice backdrop to those bright colors in the foreground of center stage too ❗ Thank you for sharing all "your little gardening helpers " . They are such a blessing 🌤
Nice , I love the look of the natural border , and I also just changed from the red mulch to the black , I like the look so much better , Great videos , love following along , even tried the rubber mulch in one area close to the back door . very happy so far .
A Peony would be perfect in the empty spot. It blooms around Memorial Day with big flagrant blooms. When they die off you still have a nice green shrub the rest of the season.
You are such a sweetheart with those darling girls! Love the yard...the planting request for the corner...what about a Japanese maple in the back with a semi circle of dwarf white dianthus in front. Will bring in the white element again, but bet you have an even better idea! Can't wait to see what you did! Cheers and God bless!!! ❤🌺🐝🌹
A suggestion would be to plant a Heather bush in the area by your front entrance. They are hardy and bloom twice a year, spring and late summer / early fall.
We use black hemlock mulch as it’s supposed to keep fleas out and doesn’t have splinters in it like the red barkdust does. We love it and get many compliments on our front yard using it. I am thinking about getting that tool to edge with. We have old sidewalks that are rocky and tend to break up when we use the weed eater tool. Great video!
Love your wagon..dumping mulch that’s great..gotta have tools to ale a Gardners or easier… I have black mulch too ..love the black mulch your plants pop
For your corner at the entrance, how about one of the Proven Winners hydrangeas. You can find them for almost any zone and in any size…from compact to gigantic. If you are zone 4 or higher most should do just fine. Zone 3 is pushing it as I found out this winter/spring when several of mine succumbed to our -20 week. Or if you want an evergreen, one of the dwarf size spruces.
A ‘Fine Line’ buckthorn looks similar to a Japanese Maple and may fit into this landscape. Another option would be a columnar rose of Sharon such as ‘Purple Pillar’
Not sure why you need the herbicide stuff. Good woodchip won't kill weeds, but it's easy to weed if you just go over it on a regular basis, like cutting grass. It makes great soil (a bit of blood, fish and bone is nice too) and just needs topped up about once a year. If you want colour without too much work, a photinia is nice, but they do take off and grow into very large shrubs/small trees (we have a patch of them) and they'll drop all their leaves in the winter (which I see as a bonus addition to compost). Azalea, dwarf rhododendron, clematis (they like their roots in shade) - so many options. In you can't make up your mind, stick a large, decorative pot with a plant support in it and grow sweet peas. Cut them often for the house and they'll flower all summer.
If you don't like that tree you could replace it with a butterfly bush. That would fill that area nicely. The open spot you could put some type of welcome sign that can be decorated for the different seasons. Kids could have fun with it too.
Also the wisteria plant whether it be a tree or bush would work there in the corner. A person can keep it trimmed and yet it would offer some height and a bit of shade for your hostas. I had one with gorgeous purple blooms and grew it on a trellis and it was picture perfect with a bench set underneath. It was great for prom pictures LOL
