#Landscape #LandscapeDesign
Step by step front yard landscaping overhaul. For this project we designed and installed plants for $950 in October 2021. We don’t have access to a truck so $150 of that was spent on delivery fees. The price depends on what plants you select and maybe you have access to a truck.
In this video I go through step by step how to map out your landscape beds and finalized your DIY landscape design.
All of the plants we purchased are evergreen so we will have year round color and leaves. 4 of the plants “Gardenia’s”, the plants with red leaves. They are deciduous but were already planted.
For this project we came in right at $950.
– Boulders Free
– Lots of Mulch $100 + $100 delivery.
– Blue Spruce was the most expensive but it was our specimen tree. Both of us loved it. $250
– 8 of the plants were relocated. Consider re-using the plants you have, just move them to a better location
– The rest of the plants, soil conditioner and wine barrel was $400 + $100 delivery

LUV..LUV…Your Green Wheelbarrow Brandon!! Great Job Kiddos👍!!! Place Looks Great Y'all, Best Wishes For Happy Returns ‼️😃‼️
That looks great! Wondering how it's going now, and how it's changed. Those projects are what makes a house a home. Keep it up! 🥳
🤩👍🏻👍🏻
I love the before/after shot, looks great! I wasn’t expecting to laugh so much during this video, you guys are fun. My husband and I just bought our first house and we are excited to do some of our own landscaping!
May I ask why have you put those cardboards and then filled with soil? I saw in other videos also that they don’t put soil directly over the existing soil
Excellent location for Fat Albert! I would have liked to see two of the same on each side of the window. Wow your place looks great…love the color of your house and your boulders! : D
Well done! That looks beautiful. Your home is so lovely! What State are you in? It is such a pretty area!. Blessings from Melbourne Australia. Time for me to get out in the garden.
Looks great! I bet a wheelbarrow might have been nice! 🙂
Muy hermoso.
Hey Brandon. I get a lot of people asking me the same question so I figured I’d answer on your page. Real time landscape
Thx for watching
Love that little green boat you were using to transport the mulch.. smart!
Looks great 👍
Can you let me know that why you put cardboard under the mulch ?
Thank you!
Omg where is this? I love the scenery. BTW I wouldn't have ever thought your last name would be Tran lol
Glad you had a plan. I guessed right off that you might be in the Carolina area.
If you're a madhouse
If you live in the south avoid putting wood mulch, attracts termites. I learn the hard way and I found a whole lot of termites under. 🤷🏾♀️
I think variety conflicts with consistency. This is the hardest part of garden design.
Great recycling idea with laying cardboard before mulch but wouldn't the cardboard eventually decay thus defeating the long-term purpose of being a weed blocker? I myself have lots of cardboard so this will be great for my landscape project once it's an long-term weed blocker.
Nice 😍 … how’s it holding up with just the cardboard?
Nice job Buddy. I have a section in my driveway that my wife always run over and no grass seeds of some sort grows on it. Might mimic this style. Thank you.
The cardboard will interfere with the root systems of the plants. Why did you lay down mulch first before removing the plants? Also it's not good to plant bushes next to a concrete foundation because over time the roots will crack the concrete.
You just cut through the cardboard?
Beautifully design on a budget.
Are the cardboards still there when you plant the new plants? I’m just curious how you went about planting the new plants with the cardboard underneath
What does the cardboard do?
1:07… "the larger your landscape beds are, less grass you have to cut." Exactly! Enjoyed the video. Cheers!
That is beautiful 😍
Hey! I'm from Family Handyman, we saw one of your videos and would love to speak with you about promoting it across our brands. Please reply to our comment so we can get in touch!
Loving your design. Getting some ideas. Awesome project!!
Look much better. You should never plant next to your foundations to protect the foundation long-term, should have rocked a few feet away from the foundation and then established the plants. Also, the tree is way too close to the home, in time it will overtake your corner of the home. Thinking about what the mature plant will look like and how big it will get is critical to good landscaping.
❤ your video…your newest subscriber…cannot wait to view your other videos. Thank you!
Hi, love your video, thank you for all info, would you please let me know if i need to kill white warm that is killing my grass first before i put cardboards? or it doesn't matter since the cardboard is blocking it?
Curious doesn’t the cardboard under the mulch make it difficult for planting purposes?
Unloading mulch onto the driveway instead of the landscape area left you with a day of work and not so fun part of your video to watch. Instead of leveling the mulch you are shoveling it.
Colorado?
Why did he not dump your mulch on your cardboard!? Lol
Beautiful!!!
You look like the actor John Stamos from Full House
Looks beautiful! First time home owner here! Very pleased to know I can use my excess of cardboard boxes from multiple furniture and Amazon purchases for our upcoming landscaping projects 😀 Nice tip with the vinegar spray; will try that as well!
Looks beautiful
I love the wooden pot
I'm using the no dig method also for laying out my beds. I've been in my house for 18 years. Last year, I started working on the landscape / curb appeal.
