Love it exactly what I am doing!!
If their soil is mostly clay and/or loam, they should do just fine with the new design. If they have mostly limestone in their soil, like we do here in Central Texas, good luck! LOL! We have a 30'x70' lawn area (Bermuda!) in our backyard that you can't push a stake down more than an inch before encountering rock.
Boooooo Chelsea!
This was nice! Miss the videos of you starting out the Raleigh house
Yes! Love this video!! Please take us along for more designs you might be creating!!!
This is great ….. would love to see what she will put in here !
We will try to overlook your dubious taste in soccer clubs. 😄
Love this video! I think so many people can relate to this as this is probably how their yards look. I know mine does 🙂
I don't know about Texas but in our area, you have to be really careful about planting trees under power lines. The power company has the right to (and will) come trim/butcher trees they think are ANY danger to the power lines. They have to do that to preemptively minimize the risk of storm damage.

Lots of us Texas gardeners will be interested in seeing how this goes. Texas has its challenges with weather and high ph soil and water.
🌳🪴GOOD PLAN‼️🪴🌳
This was very helpful! More like this please. I have a landscaper coming next week to dig beds in my very small yard. I’m struggling with the design but don’t want to put it off any longer. Thank you for the tips!
Can you please do a follow up when they have completed their transformation. Hackberry’s are the bane of my existence! I’m constantly cutting down the sprouts along my fence line!
Hi Jim 👋 Welcome to Texas! Do we thank you for bringing us this nice weather? 😊 I love watching you plan out a new garden area. Thank you and Thanks to Nicole and Fiancé for sharing their space with us. Will you also be traveling to Louisiana to visit more of your friends? Take care and safe travels. 🙏
Yes, very helpful to see the big picture starting from scratch.
Like these types of videos Jim! Having watched numerous of your videos and neighborhood garden tours it looks like we actually live in the same neighborhood! I have a blank slate of a yard myself and would love some ideas and feedback on where to start!
Ugh, Bermuda. Spraying is only way to eliminate it where not wanted unless you want to be a prisoner to constantly digging it back out. Leave behind a tiny 1/2" long segment of root when digging out and it will root & regrow with a vengeance. 😣
Absolutely loved this design video!
Thank you Jim! Blessings!
Question, how do you get rid of the grass close to the tree? Would you still spray? Hand dig? I have a tree with grass up to it and would like tips.
Crazy! I just did the same thing. Next is figuring out what to fill in. Excited to follow the journey.
Great video! Would like more information on the best way to remove large patches or all of the lawn.
Love garden makeovers! How can we follow along with the changes?
Always great information
I agree with everyone, this video is helpful for me, too. I’ve inherited a garden that needs some design help. If Nicole has a channel and is going to video building their garden I sure would like to follow along. Can you provide her social media info?
this video is very helpful! Thank you!
Cool!😊
What a great garden canvass for creating garden areas and rooms!
Yes, totally enjoy this type of design video. Even for those of us with very established spaces, now and then we are removing, adjusting, rethinking areas and these design ideas are very helpful even though we're not starting with a blank slate. Thanks, Jim!
Yes, as always, very helpful video. Love the “low maintenance – high impact” approach.😊
Love these design concept videos – so helpful! It seems that there are so many gardening videos on the internet that address how to care and select specific plants but good design content is harder to find. Thanks for sharing your rough design ideas and especially the thought process behind them 🌱
More videos like this please! Very helpful
Love these design concept videos Jim. Would be nice to have on a regular basis…maybe once a season for a different, empty canvass property. Your ideas are so helpful.
Yes Jim. I love these design videos. I learn a lot!
I find this video helpful, thank you. I wish you had spoken more about exact plants that can survive our weather (I’m in San Antonio). I’ve tried various things with little luck, so far the Bermuda grass is the most successful thing, so I’d be afraid to kill it for more garden beds…
Yes Jim this type of videos are very helpful! Thank you.
Great to see your thoughts. More of these type videos, when you get the chance, is extremely helpful. Y'all are doing a great job, thanks.
This was so helpful! I have always been daunted less by what I plant individually and more about how to turn square outdoor space into plots. It was impossible for me to see how to zone my own front yard until I saw you do it here, thank you! I wish I could use a drone like that. All the google maps I've checked don't show our outdoor space very well. Can you rent a drone? I also liked how you talked about the slope, the moisture, and that kind of zoning that is really important when making some of the most important decisions that are happening even at the earliest phase of a project like this. Thank you and I hope you will do this again!
Interesting and helpful. Even as a reminder of thingswe may have "misplaced" in our pea brains. Thanks.
For all who have been affected by the massive hurricane 🌀 Helene stay safe. You are in my thoughts and prayers. From the Texas Gulf Coast. 💜🙏💜
Great video! I got several tips for my yard and appreciate your explanations about the reasons for your design. Please do more of this type.
Loved seeing you layout a residential space. While I'm excited to see the new garden property evolve, it isn't quite the same as what a homeowner would face in terms of layout and design choices. This was perfect. Would love to see you tackle a few more of these new layout scenarios with different property sizes, challenges, etc. If you are in the mood to tackle a situation with heavy clay, drainage problems, tree coverage that is not full shade but not full sun either, feel free to come to Memphis. Ive got the perfect challenge for you to showcase. I've even begun several techniques to tackle the soil problem: wood chips in one area and tiller radish with crimson clover cover crops in another area to see if it can break up the clay soil any. Talk about an experiment. LOL
Yes very helpful! There are not very many videos like that.
I like your design. If there are windows on the side of the house it would be nice to have something to look at out the window. Maybe a climbing vine or even a window box hanging off the fence. Seems like we need a seating area on the far side of the yard – in the shade. Thanks for sharing!
Love this type of video! Would definitely watch more videos like this if you made them.
Hey Jim. Yes that yard is screaming for curve edges. It will definitely soften the look & more pleasing to the eyes. Also I would definitely add tall & mid size varieties of evergreens around the fence area.. layered with flowering shrubs & whimsical grasses. The fence is a real eye soar. But that’s me…
Ask the neighbors if they care that the couple could paint the fence with pipes all black…or dark grey…the plants could really shine then.
I live in the Dallas area and Azaleas will not do well in full Texas soon. 7:00
I love this type of video. I wish we had better planned our landscaping. We are lacking paths that would have made watering during the drought last summer more efficient.
Great video!
