About:
In 2021 we began a new garden space in our backyard. This was a complete DIY landscaping project. From planning the space, to doing our hardscape, and landscape planting, George and I did it all together over the course of 2 years. In this video we show you the complete project. There is footage of where we started and how it ended. While this video focuses primarily on the infrastructure, hardscaping & French Drain in the garden, you can find videos of the planting of this space in my "Japanese Maple Garden Playlist":
• Japanese Maple Garden
We hope this video brings you inspiration for creating new gardens in your landscape, and encourages you to try some DIY landscape projects. Thank you so much for watching. - Steph 🌱(Gardening in Massachusetts zone 6b) #gardening #spring #perennials #plants #new

Hi Garden Friends! I hope you enjoy this transformation of our backyard garden. I have the following playlist that has all of the videos related to this new garden. Thank you so much for watching, and hope you all have a wonderful week! -Steph 🌱ru-vid.com/group/PLLIVyX7Y1HGGVkoCot1iHPgPAE50GcATl&si=4HU4eqjnZ-o3PMe2 Here's my Amazon Store Where You Can Find Many of My Favorite Garden Items 👉 amzn.to/49F9RTU

One word...STUNNING!!! (I need a "George" in my life!) 😊

@toadstool5591 2 месяца назад

Please get George what ever kind of gloves he wants NOW! No need to wait for a "special ocassion" to justify the purchase, just get them because he needs them now and you love him. The transformation was nice to see with all the steps involved. Sometimes people do not realize how hard gardening can be. You two work well together. I love watching your garden grow.

@HookedandRooted 2 месяца назад

Absolutely!! He can have any garden tool or glove he wishes, I couldn't have done that project without him. He's the bestest! Thank you so much💚

Thank you for not adding music over the top. I much prefer the sounds of nature & even the sounds of work to artificial music stuck in.

@dianepeterson9033 2 месяца назад

George does such a good job explaining the reasoning behind what he is doing and then showing the actual work. It looks so good. He seems to really enjoy spending time in the garden..mission accomplished, Steph!

@staceyallard2692 2 месяца назад

I have been waiting for this video for so long.. it is absolutely amazing! GEORGE is the man! That was some hard work George, you should definitely be very proud of what you’ve done. Patience and persistence paid off ! The maples, the other plantings, the cobblestone, the pathway AND drainage are just beautiful! I was looking to see where the pagoda moved to after you got your mini boulder in there! Steph, you are definitely blessed! & your work as well has paid off also. Great job you two! Can’t wait to watch and see how everything looks during 2024’s season! You guys are among my favorite garden channels on YT. Thank you for sharing with us! 😊♥️

@HookedandRooted 2 месяца назад

Hi Stacey! Thank you so very much for your kind words. I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Yes, it was a lot of hard work. But also so rewarding, and fun to do together. Lol the mini pagoda is currently overwintering in the shed. We bring in our little yard statues into the shed to keep them from cracking etc in the cold weather. I would love to get a bigger one at some point, I love the little pagoda. The stone was a great addition to the garden, George's persistence to move it paid off. Thank you so much for watching our videos, and for your wonderful comments. So glad to have you along 💚🥰

I am so glad you did not put music in this. I really enjoyed hearing the birds sing as he worked.

@vickimiracle5077 2 месяца назад

The before and after is amazing.... It makes me wish my husband and I were younger.... So we could DIY more than we do. But so thankful that we are able to pace ourselves to do a little every year. Your video shows me we will get there. Lol. I love your maples.

@HookedandRooted 2 месяца назад

You sure can Vicki, slow and steady 💚 Thank you so much!!

@sammysworld5485 2 месяца назад

Wow. Everyone needs a George around. That was labor intensive… great job! I can’t even get my husband to dig a hole. As a woman who has CFS, I’m proud to say I transformed my entire garden by myself. From lifting & placing rocks, laying pavers, digging, planting, transplanting & creating beds. My husband just enjoys my hard-work. So count your blessings Steph. You have a great man!

@sarahchristine546 2 месяца назад

This is absolutely amazing and I love seeing a realistic timeframe for a major DIY project to be completed. It’s such an inspiration and a gorgeous result. Thank you for bringing us along for the transformation.

@HookedandRooted 2 месяца назад

Thank you so much Sarah! I really wanted to show that part, that it takes time. When I was a newer gardener it wasn't so obvious that beautiful gardens take time to make and to mature. This often times makes the decision to start planting intimidating. My goal was to provide inspiration and encouragement. Thank you so much for your kind comment 💚🥰

The garden looks great. George did an amazing job and I like that you showed how with a bit of patience, you can get the material for a fraction of the cost.

@3menandalady273 2 месяца назад

Lets make sure George gets some cat claw gloves for his garden helping this season Steph lol. Loved this video so much. You too make a fantastic team. Beautiful garden!

@HookedandRooted 2 месяца назад

Thank you so very much! Yes, cat claw gloves for the win lol

@catherine5465 2 месяца назад

The work George does is so meticulous! Nice job! And that it came together slowly over time is such an incentive to dream of my own special place in the garden.

@gardenandjoy 2 месяца назад

George is such a hard worker! I love that you shared a real-life timeline. Sometimes projects take years and that's okay! Especially with kids and budgets. I can't wait to see the garden come to life in spring. 😊

@HookedandRooted 2 месяца назад

Hi Steph! He really is, we are lucky to have him. I try to share the realistic expectations of how long it takes to create gardens, especially when we do all of it ourselves in an effort to save money. It can be done, but takes time. The outcome is well worth it. Thank you so much for your comment, and for watching. We're almost there!! Only 21 more days until spring. The feeling is already in the air 💚🌱

@danakenoyer106 2 месяца назад

Gorgeous outcome from some persistent, intentional labor. The fall colors are spectacular.

@HookedandRooted 2 месяца назад

Hi Ann-Marie! Thank you so very much for watching us since the beginning and for your kind words, we appreciate you being here. 💚 He really is so helpful, handy & handsome, I'm a lucky girl 🥰 Running to the nursery is always a good idea. I Have never been sad/bored/unhappy looking at plants 🌱😀Have a great weekend!!

@nancyhajeski3360 29 дней назад

Japanese maples scare me . . . I could so easily see myself growing addicted to them. So I will content myself by watching the evolution of your maple garden. ADDED AFTER VIEWING: Wow! All the hard work was worth it. What a showplace it is now. The colors are a knockout, and the big rock has a real Zen vibe.

@sydneykasmar 2 месяца назад

That was amazing to watch George. Who knew that a couple of Japanese Maples given as a gift would draw out of you so much interest, time and attention to all the needs necessary to create one of the nicest Japanese Maple gardens I've ever seen. Beautiful and masterful.

@jenniferhooks2454 2 месяца назад

The transformation of the play area into the Japanese maple garden was amazing! George thought through all the steps of the project, and he worked so hard to complete it. Yes, definitely add some stones at the little drainage pipe exit. That Japanese maple garden looked so stunning in the fall in front of all the woodland trees! You guys did a great job! I enjoyed seeing all the parts of the project in one video, even though I had seen bits and pieces in the course of your other videos.

@HookedandRooted 2 месяца назад

Thank you so much Jennifer, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 💚

@cherylt6888 2 месяца назад

@joellenjones3410 2 месяца назад

I absolutely love your gorgeous garden! I can’t wait to see it transform into spring and summer this year! You have given me an idea to make a cobblestone pathway into my new refurbished garden area! Thank you for sharing again! We love your garden Channel!🌺🌸🌷🪴🌻 Here’s to spring...24 days! 🙌🏼🌈

@HookedandRooted 2 месяца назад

Hi Joellen! Thank you so much! We're almost there!! Spring is just around the corner perfect time to pick up that garden project of yours💚

@joellenjones3410 2 месяца назад

@@HookedandRooted That will be my summer project! I have already started to search on marketplace for cobblestones low priced on a regular basis! I have expanded my garden in the backyard and incorporated an arch and I need a beautiful pathway from my backyard gate to the garden! I’m still hoping you will be able to show us how to sow seeds for pink Gomphrenas. I wonder if they could be sown directly into the garden after the frost is gone?

Hey Steph! I found you on youtube just as you two were starting this project, but watching the video seems to make the transformation that much more impressive! You two have done such a beautiful job and all on your own. George has some very impressive hardscaping skills! Well done! I Love watching your videos!

@HookedandRooted 2 месяца назад

Hi Jennifer! Thank you so very much!! He is pretty handy. I think he gets the skill from his dad who passed a long time ago, but happened to be a stone mason 💚

Wow. George is a keeper. Perfect work. Is he a landscaper or stone mason. He definitely knows what he is doing.

@HookedandRooted 2 месяца назад

Hi Linda! Thank you so much! George is actually a computer programmer, but you would think he moonlights as a mason right?! He is very handy, and while my father in law passed away many years ago, he was a stone mason and I think that's where George inherited the talent from and some of the tools, his dad 💚

@melissadavis3814 2 месяца назад

Thank you for documenting Steph & George. I’m in the same boat with out home being a custom build 6 years ago. The landscaping is a labor of love and takes years. This is something I would like to do and this will help me immensely in the planning and implementation going forward. Like George, my husband loves Japanese Maples so I just might borrow your genius idea to get him more involved. Everything looks beautiful and you both are doing an amazing job! ❤

@HookedandRooted 2 месяца назад

Hi Melissa! It certainly takes time, and lots of patience, but the outcome is very much worth it 💚Congrats on your newer home and gardens, so much fun getting to slowly work on making your house a home with a garden you love. Yes, I agree on the JM's. They are beautiful trees, and they are easy to love and get addicted too. Enjoy your garden with your husband! 🥰🍁

Very nice before and after! One thing i can really appreciate is George building the foundation to support the stones. I never knew how to explain it. I see a lot of diyers place stones without support, only to find them sinking later. I am saving this video in hopes that it can motivate me to get out and do this (on a much smaller scale). Thanks Steph and George!

This is absolutely gorgeous! A TON of work but the payoff is so stunning! I live in what has always in my gardening life a done 4b.. southern MN and they recently moved us to 5a and would so love to try a Japanese Maple but am just a bit gun shy to pull that trigger yet. A Japanese Maple is an investment so I think I need to think about it and plan a space that would be perfect for it! Thank you for a video that was so informative!!!
