Today I am sharing my backyard renovation that is 3 years in the making. This space started off full of rocks and pavers. I created a garden, removed pavers, and 100 of lbs of rocks, demolished the deck, and transformed this space into something wonderful. This is still a work in progress!

You had me at the flowerbed but my heart burst with joy when you tore up the deck. Love the timeline on this project, it really makes it one of the best DIY videos I’ve seen. I bet your little one loves the back yard!
Why don’t you pull the weeds from “lawn” and beds?
I love gardening as well. Great for not only the mind and exercise but the soul as well. I do put down a layer of cardboard first before mulching.
hint:
Controls weeds as well as it's biodegradable. Wet it thoroughly before mulching. Love your garden hope to see more soon.
I love how your dog kept you energized.
It looks great!
Well done. Beautiful yard and done with handtools.! Wow
Great job!
Where’s your food garden???
Hello,where did you get that awful music?
Beautiful. A lot of love and joy. (I do disagree with putting mulch around the A/C. Could have opted for laying 3 or 4 stepping stones with river rock around everything. The rock is for drainage.) I love the whole project, it has turned out beautiful and showing your love and joy. Great Job!
It would have been nice to see the actual garden.
How did you attach the window planter
Ugly
We had rocks in our back yard too. It was a lot of work to remove them. Kudos to you! Your project looks fantastic.
Music is AWFUL!
Seems you've got clay soil, a good remedy for that is sowing lupins for a couple of years. They break up the clay and the roots leave organic matter that is good for other plants, they usually have some nodules on the roots that contain nitrogen which make plants grow well.
I see you have a supervisor checking your work closely. 🐕
Thanks for the motivation ‼️
Good job. I see your puppy helped!
You're an inspiration. Let's see if I do anything good with it. I'm 70, so I'll go for a less ambitious goal.
Love the puppy helping! 😂
Hey we see you didn't do that deck all by yourself. Give credit where credit's due that pup was with you every step of the way. Great job by the way.
My GOD that is a lot of back-breaking work!! BRAVO!!
Great job! A woman after my own heart!❤️👍
Those rocks were doing a good job of keeping moisture away from your house😢. Also, StAugustine will be taking over all-get a whip (I mean serious weed puller)
I enjoyed watching your garden vision come to life. What is your zone? I liked to see the beginning of planting in drifts. How did the hay rack work out.? I will be watching for more updates.
Mostly looks great! Should’ve left the deck or just redone it. There is nowhere to get out of the wet!
Great job ⭐️ The soil in your yard & area under the deck seems to hold a lot of water. How is the drainage?
Omg I'm so glad m not the only one who has a supervisor 😂❤. He also wants to be let into the house after a while and a bowl brought out just incase he gets hungry 😊
You do wonderful work!
Yes! Black mulch is my favorite! That’s a lot of work, especially removing rocks. Great job! I’m wondering what those round slotted things are in your beds. Are they French drains? If so, I’d love to hear more about them. I need one badly!
This is a great transformation! But I’m watching you plant nursery plants without first cutting or pulling the roots out of their rootbound pot shape & loosening them before transplanting. All those plants will die in a month if you don’t first do that 😢. If you find your plants not settling in try digging some up and loosening the roots; you can do this even after planting them & they will thrive. Happy gardening!
you did a great job!! a lot of hard work!
Wow, that’s a great transformation! I really like how you gave the lawn a curved line! Much nicer than a straight line and it set that tree off nicely. You did a fantastic job! It looks beautiful!
Would have watched, but that "music" OFF
I did see the start of this film, but then I had to stop.
The musik was SO stressfuld😱
Beautiful work ❤
Just a quick tip that someone passed on to me, line your coir with baby diapers. They absorb and store excess water and keep your potting soil from washing away with watering. Great job!
Wonderful job.
My garden is a mess 😢
You are a PRO!!! just amazing…my only critique…you forgot to acknowledge your 4 legged "helper"…😊
