Our newest project is building a privacy berm in the field in front of our house, and we are excited to take you along for the whole journey! Today we are just beginning to prepare the land to be the future home of loads of gorgeous trees, shrubs, and perennials. Join us as we begin this massive project that promises to be stunning!

Guys that will be great ! 👍 So fun making a new garden area.Nice divide between you and the Nursery.With a in the Furture a beautiful scenic view.🍁🍂 Lol I make my new gardens I use a 3 horse craftsman tiller I got at a auction 30 yrs ago 🥰 Every year just give it a new plug.This yr 2 new gardens in front yard I already have 9 raised beds in back.Next yr going to garden out the back yard around it. I call it my Visions,Jim always says stop having them and smiles 😃 You guys are always great inspiration !! ♥️ Take Care from Iowa > Pam
I agree Jenny nothing like the smell of freshly turned soil. When the guys are chisel plowing, disking or field cultivating getting ready to plant, the fresh smell permeates the air.
This is a big, big project, but with all of that heavy equipment it should go fast. I took out a grass area, about 20×8, on the corner of my property, eight years ago. I placed all the shrubs and plants where I wanted them, then put newspaper down, 14 sheets at least, around each plant as I went. I bought bags of mulch and mulched over the newspaper, as I went. I did it in about 8 foot sections so it wasn’t so daunting. Today, I would use cardboard, which I use every year in all areas that are not planted with plant life, to inhibit weeds. So, the only digging I had to do was for the plants. The grass died underneath because it was smothered. I do have Bermuda grass growing through some ground cover, so the newspaper didn’t kill that noxious weed. But, I would encourage anyone who wants to take out a grass area, to make a plan for placement of plants, and use free cardboard, available from any food or package store, put the plants in, and cover everything else with cardboard and mulch. Turned out great for me, and is very doable, even for me, a senior.
Jenny black gum trees would look gorgeous in that area
Do you sell T Shirt for men. thank you.
The only thing that’s hard for me with gardening is being patient and wishing 5-10years away to see how things will mature. At 66 it’s hard for me but it is Gods plan for us to sow seed.
I would consider including some Sugar Shack buttonbush – glossy reflective foliage that colors up in the fall and the berries ripen in winter nourishing birds…. if you are irrigating the space…
Your dog is quite the helper lol. It’s amazing how quickly that large amount of dirt practically disappears after spreading it out.
I think the red soil is just beautiful. Can't wait to see what a burma is. One word amazing.
Here in my area of nc, we know them as tine field cultivators…we spread gypsum a few weeks before to bust up the clay then run that cultivator over on established grass areas..we do horizontal run and a vertical run
I really love your Clemson hat!! I look forward to the progress in the next video!!
Why ripped the grass if there will be lot of dirt on top?
Love this video of Jerry "working the soi". I can see how mulch fun that is with the powerful machinery to do your bidding. Reminds me of tree planting videos that Laura and Aaron have been putting out. Figure it out as you go and see how it looks.
Looking forward and seeing your new project gardening with Creekside
Can’t wait to see it.
Great video from your favorite nephew. I’m gonna sit on top and shoot some deer off of it
Mr. Jerry on his equipment is just a hoot! Sweet idea and project.
Huge project, that machine is such a big help,
I’ve been wanting to ask this for a long time and I keep forgetting. We live in zone 8/9a and the front of our house has 20+ crape myrtles. Some of them 12 feet high or more. I love them but we have to prune suckers multiple times a year from the base. Is there anything we can use to stop them without hurting the tree?!?
Jenny I have a question. The Temple of Bloom tree. Do you know if this tree attracts Spotted Lanternflies? Let me give some context to my concern. I am originally Western NC(Mars hill) Zone 5b to 6 Gardener. Two years ago I moved to Fort Smith, Arkansas and started a new garden here. This is where I saw my first Spotted Lanternfly. I only saw one not an invasion but it got my attention right then to the problem. Thankfully after two years of severe drought and insane temps here in our 7b really should be and 8 zone I am moving back to the mountains!!! Not quite home to WNC but to Winchester, VA. Shenandoah Valley but still my beloved Appalachians.I'm super exited.Gardening is very difficult here in Arkansas due to lack of rain.I haven't seen rain since June 7th!!! Insanity. Anyway I saw in some gardening groups that the Spotted Lanternflies are attracted to the Temple of Blooms and the Tree of the heavens. So my question would be have you seen any spotted lanternflies in your zone and are you concerned about possibly attracting them with the Temple of Bloom tree? Any guidance from PW on this problem? I'm super concerned as I start to plan out what trees are must haves in our forever garden in VA.
I don't know why I like seeing Jerry on that Tractor!! 😅😅😂
Oh my goodness your dog was so funny chasing after the tractor in the dirt super cute. It’s going to be really nice when you get it all done:) tfs God Bless:)
Fresh dirt + tractor fumes, honey you a farm girl! So am I!
Do you have an email address? I saw your social links. Thanks.
Y'all are rocking this site, Jenny and Jerry! With Jenny's sparkling personality and Jerry man handling that berm like a boss, I never thought I'd get excited about dirt! LOL
I cannot wait to see how your berm evolves. We have one in front of our house near the road and all we have right now is 2 palm trees on top and more palms on the outer portion, but they only go halfway down the berm. That's how it was when we purchased our home, and I would love to add more to it. 😊
I’m excited about watching the progress on this.
It’s going to be so exciting to see how this berm develops. It will provide a lot of great info for people who want to do this but are not sure how or what to do. I agree with you Jenny – the smell of freshly tilled dirt is just as intoxicating in its own way as the smell of a flower. Thanks for sharing this great project with all of us.
Great idea😃
I just love when Jenny says "today I have my sweet thing with me…" teenage love still going strong.. so cute
I think it would look great to add a few large rocks or a grouping of rocks spaced in the new berm.
I just made a 2 flowerbeds from scratch. One tilled the grass, the other removed sod. Tilling was easier for sure. Great camera work in this video! So fun to watch! 🤩
So brave with the camera under the tractor 🚜 👌
Finally. I been hoping you would build something for privacy. It's going to be beautiful. Can't wait for the journey
Not a big fan of berms myself, but I always love seeing plant selections and the big equipment run. Privacy between your home and business seems like a great idea.
Those Great Smells….. fresh dirt tilled up, fresh hay cut, first smoke from a fire in the distance …
how did you film that section underneath the tractor ?
It will be interesting to see how you are going to anchor the fence posts in the center of the berm. The trees alone will be beautiful! Exciting new project!
WOW VERY INTERESTING TO WATCH THIS!!! SO LOOK FORWARD TO PROGRESS!!! 😀👍
Exciting! I can't wait Thank you for sharing you journey with us!
Wow, the best part is that you have a unified vision. I can't wait to see how this berm comes together. It's going to be lovely!
So exciting! I love when you do new projects those trees will be beautiful!
Fun video. I was hearing Kenny Cheney in my head singing 🎵“ She thinks my tractors sexy” 🎵
