    How long was your cardboard down before you planted anything? Cause aren’t you hitting the cardboard?

  6. Sox Chica

    I was using paper but i still get grass coming up. I will definitely try cardboard! 🙂

    Oh my goodness! Finally someone not only in my zone but local! I am in Seabrook and new to planting in landscaping. Only 3 minutes into this video but I am excited! My front faces East so it gets great morning sun but no afternoon. So I will have to do opposite to you lol

    Hello one question I live in Lancaster California and I wanted to know what plants I need to use can you help thanks 😊

    It would be great if you would list all your plants in the description box. Thanks

    Passing through… Just to let you know, you should shop at your local nursery and save a lot of money rather than buying from a big box store. I learned that the hard way. No sense in spending that kind of money on plants. Trust me and try it.

    You left out one thing honey, How long does it take for the cardboard to break down? Six months, a year or what? I would love to do this but I don't have a lot of patience lol. Yours looks great though…

    im a new front yard owner & am trying to learn— so this may be a stupid question but do you just cut out the cardboard you laid down when u plant? and are those weed sheets an alternative to the cardboard?
    glad i came across your channel 🙂

    Bruuuuuuh whats with the “sh” pronunciation for S’

    Awesome work though, what about painting the bricks for more pop?

    Sometimes a town will contract with a landscaping or other company to remove and instantly mulch trees. Asplundh was one company. I called them and got a huge pile of free mulch from them.

    If you like dark purple foliage and hot pink flowers, lorapetalum might be for you! They're a small shrub like plant. Bloom is 2-3 times per year for me.

    I have trouble planting anything around my oak trees! The roots are insane and allow nothing to grow! How u do it? How are these plants doing now
