WHOLE YARD TRANSFORMATION - Start To Finish!! | Joshua's Garden 

I had a house fire and after seven awful years, I finally built (finished🎉)my house! I'm planning to emulate a lot of the stuff you have here... I'm a fan of cardboard, however, I've had some serious health challenges and trying to hire someone to help out hasn't been easy. These people don't seem to want my money, and when you do pay them they want to do it their own way! As a middle-aged grandma, I've been screenshotting and saving ideas for my own property to show people... And hopefully the right person will come along and transform my yard into what I wanted to be so I can enjoy the time I have left❤ so thank you for all your wonderful ideas, hard work and putting it out there for the world to see!! Sending gratitude from south of Boston❤

Good job! you're a son every parent wants to have.

It's coming along nicely and what a wonderful gift to your parents. 💯

As a landscaper I'd have to say this was excellent work.

What a creative, thoughtful, hard working son!

Joshua are the Master Garden Designer!! Your work is absolutely outstanding!! I love your designs and future plans for this project!! I can’t wait to see the finished result!! Your mother must be a very special lady!! You are a ROCKSTAR ⭐️ 🌲🌳🌷🪴

Well done young man! Awesome to see young people set out on a project at home! 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾

It all looks beautiful, and will continue to improve as the plants go in and grow. Cardboard is such a great help in gardens, and you can use it anywhere you’re planting, even in the small spaces. The worms love it, and it’s great for controlling weeds. The process just needs to be repeated each year or so. Hope you’ll choose pollinator-friendly/native plants! Your mom must love this!!

I can see your vision for this front and back landscape and it's going to be amazing as things start filling in over time. Wow, a hot tub!!! That sounds fantastic! You guys have done an amazing job transforming this space and I can't wait to see it evolve. It sounds like you and your mom have a great summer ahead. Happy Mother's Day to your mom! Keep up the good work!

awesome! This has to be somewhere in New England. I recognize that rocky soil.

Love the outline of what is to come! Such a treat to watch the transformation. The yard will surely be inviting … can’t wait to see.

Great to see how you are transforming the family home!

One of the absolute best backyard transformations I have ever seen. You guys are so inspiring, and so much hard work! Please keep us updated. Best wishes on your garden journey 👍

Very helpful and inspiring! I'm going for a no mow (or much less mow) lawn, with Dutch White clover and much larger beds. It's good to see your process. Thank you for posting!

I need these two in my backyard 😂 one can dream. Love all the work you did and appreciate the ideas♥️♥️

Wow, you have been busy! Love how this defines and cleans up the space. Will look even more amazing once you get it all planted up. Nice job! 😊

I landscaped my backyard in a similar manner, but I left the grass in place and just covered it with the cardboard before laying down the wood chip. Once the grass no longer has light it just dies anyhow. I also use old carpet on the ground then lay my artificial grass on top of it. I was eliminating the need for mowing and love the transformation. 👍😊

I'm a retired landscape architect/designer and your vision for design is brilliant I too over many years landscaped my yard with many beds to lessen the grass I've only seen this video so I don't know if you have a business in landscape design...but you should I hope you keep a portfolio of all your jobs Brilliant job

That backyard says, "putting green!" Very lovely!

What a great idea thanks. God bless.

Love the layout. It really gives you an interesting backyard. Good job!

Absolutely love the cost effective use of cardboard, this will mulch down over time, stops the horrible black liners tearing and flying around as it ages. We'll done guys, really enjoyed this from the UK x

Wow ! Looks great !

This is truly a gift how BEAUTIFUL ❤️♥️!!! You are blessed with a strong VISUAL!!

So inspiring! I am developing a recently acquirwd passion for gardening. We moved onto 12 acres about 2 years ago and I'm now visualizing flower beds and trees and labyrinth garden paths..!!! Thanks for sharing your process! I'll keep tuning in.

Just found you today. Love what you are doing with a blankish canvas. Looking forward to viewing your channel. I always appreciate the inspiration🙏🏽

Thanks for the video, I so want to do this, I'm old and have to much grass to mow! Looks great!

Love the curved beds in the backyard!

Every house I have ever bought had that nasty hardware/weed blocking black cloth, sticking up through the mulch. And if you tried to pull a weed or grass that got in it, it pulled a yard of that fabric up. I started using strictly carboard like you did here and what a difference. That fabric is useless in a very short amount of time! And cardboard breaks down over time, completely. Good job!

It was incredibly helpful for me to see the garden beds from start to finish as well hear about the bigger plan for the areas. The light bulb moment for me was when you were taking us through the area in the backyard showing how you're making future areas/rooms per se in the garden, I know I want to do this in my yard but I just don't know how to start until your post! Thank you

Clean the fence and stain it to make it look newer. Great job.

Beautiful! Hard work, but such a beautiful accomplishment!

That's great you do this for the entire family 🤠

If you have a lamp shade store in you area, call them and ask about hauling away their boxes for them. These are usually small stores without compactors and the boxes are long and a heavy grade of cardboard. (They may have long wooden dowels to recycle also.)

Good job! It's going to turn out beautiful in time 👍

I sure hope you’re up to maintaining all of that! I keep making beds. Now I have more to maintain than I have time for.

With cardboard.....9,000 man hours.... And 45 tonnes of bark chips!!! 😳 But it looks lovely and you worked really hard. It makes the whole house look so attractive especially upping the kerb appeal from the street view. The block paving near the front door steps looks very English actually with the flower borders either side, I could almost imagine I was looking at a house from over here where I'm from. In fact even the view inside the back garden you could be fooled for thinking was English. The shapes of the borders, the chipped bark, even a lot of the plants you chose to add are very typical over here. The reason that stands out is because I watch tons of house and garden makeovers from both here and over there, and this is literally the first American garden out of thousands I've seen, that doesn't look American lol. In fact the only thing that gives it away is the style of the house. Most of our homes are solid brick and are not raised up off the ground like yours are, so the front steps and back stairs and decking are typically American. Of course we have older houses with cellars and things, but most homes are built directly on the ground so theres rarely steps to get in the main doors. It's a beautiful house in any case, just different. My favourite area is the patch under the decking steps, with the blue stones, again something else that's popular here. That area is really attractive, and whilst I know they're not cheap, a few more of those stones in other sections would look lovely too. Once the hot tub goes in, that'll make that area beside the wooden steps absolutely perfect! Who doesn't yearn for a hot tub! Your Mum is a woman after my own heart. In fact the least english thing about that back garden is the earth! 🙄 You worked hard, but my God English soil would've broken your back! We have a lot of thick chunky clay under our earth, particularly in the South East coast area of England where I'm from. You have to dig huge holes when planting large shrubs here, at least 3 times the size of the root ball of the plant, MINIMUM! Otherwise whilst they get established the roots will struggle to penetrate the ground properly and spread out. No point buying decent sized shrubs for them to just die off. What a lovely and handsome young man you are! What a blessing of a son you are to have, your parents must be so proud of you. You're very kind to do this for your parents, not least because most young adults wouldn't even know what would make their parents happy, let alone get on and actually make it happen! Don't you dare rush to settle down too soon, you deserve to have your pick of the very best, and not be lumbered too young before you know yourself properly! You obviously come from a wonderful family, that is very loving and caring about each other. Whoever becomes your permanent fixture should earn their right to belong to your family! I'm getting maternal here lol, but you're naturally clearly a very kind and giving boy, which will attract moochers! Whoever she (or he) is, needs to bring as much to the table and appreciate how lucky they are to have you, and to be included in such a lovely family. Trust me on this ok! Break a few eggs before you whip up an omelette if ya get my drift. Young hormones aren't usually the best judge of character, so trust this middle aged English fart, and know your worth! No doubt your parents tell you the same anyway, but you may just think they're biased, so take it from someone who doesn't know you and has nothing to gain in telling you. I'm so glad I watched now! I'd watched a couple of doom and gloom "what the hell is happening in this world of ours" kind of woke nonsense videos prior to this that thoroughly depressed me! HAH! Compared to those young adults you shine even more brightly! It's reassuring to see not all of you are completely mental quite frankly! There's something deeply sinister going on with today's young adults. So this was a very uplifting "English country garden meets American home" breath of fresh air that I needed! Thank you. I wish your Mum many happy hours in her long awaited hot tub, and what a beautiful view she'll have from within it. Lovely! 😘

WOW!! I'm loving it!! Anxious to see the finished product.

When u have 2 working man at all time... Wish granted twice

Nice job! So much hard work

Amazing! And I love the idea to use cardboard instead of roundup on the grass

I have an idea...since you're going to put in a hot tub and since you are going to put a bed around it, why don't you install some plants with fragrance. Even some that release their pollen at night, so that there will be fragrance all day!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Your subscribers and I ... we all stand in awe. Looking forward to your future work on this project. Filming and editing are impressive. Txs. for sharing.

That is AWASOME!!! GOD BLESS YOU, with every little thing good in life... beautifull.

Halfway through the video and already filled with ideas - Thanks for sharing 🤙🏽

I wish my back could do all this!! Wonderful!!

I wasn’t sure I agreed with your choices until the very end. I’m doing something similar a 1/4 size of yours with some leading pathways. Good luck! Looking forward to some updates. Looks like a gulf course now. Can’t wait to see it in the future

It's a golf course in the backyard. Lovely.

Amazing work. Thanks so much for the inspiration.. You gave me some ideas for my back yard… Love and peace from Poland 🙏💖🕊😊

Amazing transformation! Thank you for sharing 😊

Great plans. It’s going to be beautiful

Brilliant, brilliant and brilliant. Rotorua, New Zealand 🇳🇿

You guys are hardworkers! Looking good. Maybe powerwash the wood fence or stain it.

🙌 great work. It's coming along so nicely!

Hard work always pays off. It's looking beautiful. I can imagine what it will look like in full bloom when your done. Awesome job. 😊👍

Amazing job!

Looks nice and precise. It's nice to have a big yard to be able do your various plans. Keep it going!

Great job you gave me a lot of ideas with creating bed and using recyclable cardboard. Keep up the great work thank you. You have a subscriber.

Good job! I also have a big yard. I also am trying to eliminate grass! Its quite a work out, but l love being outside and making improvements much like yourself! Thanks for aharing!

It is looking great so far. I am in the process of doing a brand new bed that will take out an entire corner of my yard. It is probably 60 feet east to a tree and then turn the corner and 60 feet south to the end of the bed. I knew I wanted to just flip the grass over and use cardboard but seeing your video has given me a better idea of how to cut the edges. Thanks for sharing!

You started with the garden I want to finish up with! Lovely flat grass, no weeds, no brambles. Lovely. Getting to THAT point is the problem. It's easier to make a nice looking garden look a bit nicer. When you start with an apocalyptic wasteland, that's the issue I have! 🤣

Holy termite haven batman!

After I moved from out of an arid state to a more luscious vegetation place…with a good sized yard, I now regret recyling all my moving boxes….and had alot of them.🤬

Well thought out planting beds. It will look great when you are finished.

Wow, nice size yard! The only thing I would have changed is the area around the bottom of your steps, with a little more space!

Looking good

Work can get done faster if there's 2 person works together... ❤❤. My garden bed I do it 96% my husband only helps if I ask. But I love doing it.. new subscriber's here.. can't wait to see what's coming to your garden.. awesome job 👏 ❤.

Very neat but so far it looks like stuff from the lowes and a lawn. I hope that you get to put your own style into it eventually. Otherwise it looks like a yard that the owner also has a trash barrel with wheels and a rural style black plastic mailbox placed outside the front door. I will check out your next videos. Good luck with your endeavors.

Wow this video got blessed by the YT algorithm eh! A lot of people are looking to transform their yards this spring and hopefully found your video helpful!! Keep up the good work Josh!! :D

Fantastic job!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

#1 weed free barrier - love it!

really, really nice backyard treatment

wow thats alot of work in 2 months. great job! I will be smothering the lawn in my garden this year. buh bye. it infested my garden while i was very sick for years. now i want it gone 🫶

I installed my privacy fence the same way with galvanized posts after understanding that they will last 100 years and not Rot. I realize u probably didn’t install it but kudos to whoever did

Was hoping to see more native plants rather than Asian/european species, but otherwise you did an amazing job. I like your vision. My customers always underestimate how much work it is to start a yard from scratch.

Nice job, but you could have saved yourself a whole lot of work by just putting the cardboard down right over the turf instead of removing it all beforehand. The turf will break down underneath the cardboard and contribute to the soil fertility. I have done this many times with excellent results. Further on in your video I see you did do that on other areas.

Cardboard works wonders....last yrs with very few weeds coming thru

Has that golf course vibe😳

God bless you. Have a great 25th Anniversary.

I used cardboard too, many years ago. I wasn't sure if it would work but it worked great!

Gorgeous!

WONDERFUL!!!!

You really are a wonderful artist!

Boy, I’ve never seen two men work so fast in all my life! LOL

Awesome worl and video...was satisfying to watch too...i did tjat myself recently , well one tree and along a driveway...great improvements all round...Well done 🥰

I can visualize a putt-putt/ mini golf course in your yard. It's cute. Very cute.

Impressive young man 👍

Stellar job! Looking forward to upcoming projects! 👏👏👏👍👊😊

Excellent video!

Very impressive! Looks fantastic!

Your mom was love this! Great job!

Looking good!!

Beautiful show it again in 3years

This is such an amazing video! GREAT job!

Very good video. You gave me some good ideas. Thank you.

Very exciting, great job!

It’s going to look awesome. May I make a suggestion? Please plant native plants. It’s really important for the ecosystem of your area which includes all wildlife like birds and pollinators as well as plants.

Lovely job. You look about 12 so well done on your know-how.

Is the cardboard replacing Weed Barrier???

Great Job!
