TIL: edging stake tab goes up! I've been doing it down this whole time. DOH!

What would you charge to do this?

The plastic is better than nothing I must say. Temporary. This guy did a very nice job though.

Wow! It's crazy that there was that much water under there 😳 very cool process though!

I met and worked with Chris almost 20 years ago in a very different profession and a long ways away from Ohio - not surprising to me to see that he's just as effective and professional in his current endeavors as he was then!

Same Jacuzzi Tub I have

Nice job on controlling the drainage problem. Chris did a great job 👍

Thanks for watching!

Is there a hanging bracket to be able to hang a hanging basket on vinyl siding?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dude nice short from the long form 👌

Great idea!

I got a carpenter bee at the front door that's been there for generations. They live in the address sign. That's the fred family. I got a new one that lives at the back door. Thats the frank family. They dive bomb all the bugs that try to come into the house.

Nice short bro! The full video was good 👌

Why kill the bees?

Where did you get that half moon edger with tiny teeth? Thanks.

Cool!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Do the stakes go through the edger? Or just below it?

This is exactly what I needed, props to you. Yes, it does need a ton of work to be a full “Woodworking Bible”, but Woody Hyezmar’s book is still in draft status and available for anyone interested in go’ogling the latest edition.

8 hrs is the furthest for me! I'm heading on the road early next trip!

Dude that looks really good man. Look at that edging 👌

Your video was very well done. Thank you!

I love the viewer shoutout! Very cool! Thanks for sharing 😊

Whos saying you can't do it professional? Pretty much all your videos look professionally done you remember me saying that when you did the edges on the lawn with the plants? I like the unprofessional look, yours look professional. Another note, I'm glad somebody likes using manual edger. I have both and I simply like doing the physical work, rather than just running a machine and cutting a straight line. I was looking for edging material in Home Depot last Friday. And I've been really debating using plastic which I generally don't like. However, I've only seen them in a street line on a house border not around tree etc. I like the fact that it's more mailable. I'm a situation where 1/3 of the front of the lawn almost 2/3 of the lawn is going in and abnormal shape, basically almost like a wave and going around a Palm tree. it's not a 100% perfect line and decided to avoid the straight line look because I had to dodge a pine tree. I think I may go with plastic simply because I can mold strange shapes, but still create a line that's more defined, rather than natural, if that makes sense? My situation has been the opposite. You started planning everything out, with me. I started planning one side of the house and then a separate side. I ended up adding more stuff eventually creating a semi garden. (bushes/trees/flower type bushes etc). I avoided carefully to not create a wall, so I planned around the mature size and how they look like with colors. but now that the stuff has started setting in and physically growing I would really like to have a more defined border because from my side of the house not the street. It's not a normal shape. It's a wave, curvature and straight line mix. I even got rid of the old cotton grass that's more for cool season not for Florida never needs to be cut, but the problem is it never stays green either during the summer and because it's a slow grower cut it once it won't go back to 3 inches till like four months, which is brutal. the perennial peanut is perfectly green and healthy on the other side but I wasn't planning on adding that to the other side so I decided to add bushes trees, etc.

Looks great! Thanks for the tips, super helpful!

Holiday bonus drop! I hope you enjoy this one. Thanks for watching.

Absolutely beautiful 💯💯💯

Great video! Lots of good advice and product recommendations! I'm always fighting with mosquitoes 🥊😅

Thank you sir 🙂

Great advice! We live near a wooded area with lots of ticks so we'll give that a try. Thanks!

Thanks for watching - now let's get to work!

But... How do you cut the edging???

Perked up hearing the Menards reference. I grew up in rural Illinois but live in Northern Alberta now. Wishing I'd seen this earlier since I just finished an impromptu edging and mulching job for my girlfriend's parents. Could have came out better but they approved so I'll take the win 😂

Straight to the point, l loved the video. Thanks for the tips 👏

Thanks to these 5 edging tips I can now edge effectively and safely!

That’s crazy

I am a senior and did almost the same as you, however, I didnt know about landscape stake, so I am going to see if I can get them here in Canada. My problem was the ground was hard and getting it the same height was difficult for me.

This is technically what I searched for but not what I was expecting. Made things interesting for me though. Thanks! ☺️

Just spend the money om metal edging. Edge Right or Coyote landscape are the two i have used.

Nice. So you're driving the stakes through the edging, correct? Resting the bed sounds nice, but the soil isn't going to be any different "for the plant" that 2nd year vs planting immediately. Yes the soil will be better, but that will happen regardless and that extra year of growth is pretty valuable. Also look around your property (and your families) and you can fix a lot of bald-ish spots easily with that sod. Or kill off a heavily weeded area and reclaim it with sod. Got a low, wet spot? Put in some vertical drains (post holes filled with gravel, and build up the area with the sod. Endless uses for sod. :)

800 nail holes 😱. Bro that came nice!! Paint color is nice too 👍

Dude you know so much about landscaping. This is a really good video with lots of useful information. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏

Great tips! Thanks for sharing!

Good video. Funny enough I've been working on my yard and as you know, it's a time-consuming project because plants take a while to grow, (especially removing/adding lawn) not all of them grow rapidly. I've been working on mine for technically about two years this June.. one year a section doing perennial peanuts so that it could survive extreme heat, but still look nice and never needs to be mowed and the other side, including the back project with lush color, trees, bushes, black trees (black Dimaonds) etc., and the back having zero scape like with juniper Parsons, cactus and those types of plant that are super dry. and you're right about transition is important. The area that I'm doing all colors, including adding trees and bushes. You have to research maximum height and not only that but they also have a general idea. You don't wanna put something into the ground that will take 10 years to 3 feet height because that's a long time and most people like to see results. It's nice to add to a house if you just bought it and plan on living there. The only difference with mine and yours is that you're creating barriers that show the edges so that it looks more professionally done which is really nice. By the way I'm doing the same but I remove the barriers after I put the plants down so that the natural form creates a barrier without anything in the ground, creating a straight line instead, it has a natural straight line, which is easier on the eye then commercial lies. Not saying that it's bad it's just my personal preference. the neighborhood here some of the houses were redone and the houses look like they came out of a box. Like manufactured homes. Of the biggest problems I've seen with peoples lawn and it's a great point you brought it up in your video is the color balance. Like you told them to go to Home Depot and then pick the plants that really stand out for you but it's important for them to do a little bit of research how they look like at the end. The problem is a lot of people don't have an eye for color, I have neighbors that have all sorts of different colors, including the house that it looks like a freaking rainbow or something you would see some strip club (neon lights lol). and I have other neighbors that do complete everything green, which isn't bad but everything blends too much together, even though all the plants and trees and bushes are completely different the leaves are basically the same so nothing stands out. It looks like just one blotch of color. Random note: you should list the plants you're using for viewers. (I know what you're using but those who don't)

Thanks for watching!

Love that drill bit!
