Love all the ideas. My favorite is adding natural stone borders and the lighting. Love water features with lighting. Im planning to remake my front and back yard. This helps with ideas but im still not sure how to apply it to my yard. Thanks i love your videos!
I am really enjoying your videos. As a first time homeowner, I don't have a lot lying around. I would love to see a getting started video like tips for things to look for in deciding where to start. My yard is mostly a blank slate.
Hey just came across your channel. Great videos! I've decided to start relandscaping my yard (after 15years of neglect). . . it's gonna be a lot of work for sure. But you have some great ideas and tips. Thanks!
@ScoobyJ. Heck Yes! Go for it! Excited to have you as part of the community. Lots of designer and landscapers here that can also help in the comments section.
The wood rounds have to be treated bc they won't stay natural they'll turn a grayish brown. I learned the hard way 😂. There's some really great tips in this video. Thank you!
@@BobbyKDesigns Hello, doing well here. I got my mulching project nearly finished in my yard, so that's a relief. It's really so hot down here in FL. My pathways and plant beds look great with the pine bark nuggets. So far this year I bought 218 bags of mulch, on sale.
On my property, there is, what seems like, an infinite amount of quartz, quartzite, gabro, and granite in varying colors…orange, white, brown, blue, gray and sizes ranging from a 3-5 inches in diameter to 16-18 inches long by 10-14 inches wide; most tend to be somewhere in between; they are more oblong/rectangular and irregular shaped, instead of round or oval and smooth.
Bobby: I live in an arm of the Mohave Desert, St George UT. All 3 of the trees planted by the builders (yuk) in 1989, have either been deliberately taken out (pine -- diseased due to improper pruning); mulberry (roots lifting up foundation sidewalk (a stupid feature builder put in) + possibly garage floor); and a beautiful shade tree on south side, pruned wrongly, top heavy, watered incorrectly, wind/rain storm took it down in one gust one night 4 yrs ago). The HOA is refusing to replace... What can I plant, for cooling, beauty, + shade, on this south side, approx 20' from my home, that I could defend planting? I'll buy, plant, (community water, but we have ugly lawns all over the place!) And I would pay to have cultivated properly. ?? Please suggest??
Just came across your channel so have not watched all the videos yet. Do you ever feature problem landscapes of your viewers with suggestions? We have a house that is on the top of a huge hill/bluff with little yard and huge forested (unkept looking) slopes right off the yard. I think it will be very very challenging for any landscaper out there. Have no idea what to do!
@amber gerweck. Great timing! I am running a contest called "Bobby Help Me Now" where subscribers can submit a photo of a space giving them trouble. Go check out "Space Under $500" video and in the description is a link to the contest. Make sure you enter!!! :)
So how do you keep weeds, whirly bird seeds from Maple trees, autumn leaves, etc. clogging up those beautiful rocks and sprouting seeds come spring? It sure looks pretty, and would be a monster to keep clean and take care of, unless you are constantly out with your blower and raking up the debris. No thanks.
Ooohh Bobby! What can I say…I admire your channel and your zeal. I would caution you telling people they can and should do some of the items featured. Typical dyi people CAN do a lot but lack technical knowledge and professional experience in doing things correctly. In most cases these are the the yards that we Professionals show up to for a service call or repair and it ends up costing them more than double. Shovel edges…perfect! Every diy should do this…drainage rock creek beds another perfect! Paver walkways and patios…NO! DIY s lack the skill set and too set to do a proper installation. Outdoor kitchens NO…diyers lack building code and proper construction knowledge to construct such structures. Landscape lighting…NO…they lack technical design knowledge and as well as basic principles of electrical systems and the myriad of products is far too confusing. Stump walkways…waste of time. The tree cookies will rot within a couple years. Use the wood in a firepit and actually benefit from it on a cold winter night. Please spread real world knowledge and be honest. Dont set people up for failure. Thank you.
Ehh, I don't like the look of all the solar lights going up beside walkway on the one that Lowes did. Sorry, it looks kind of cluttered. I like the look, just not that type of lighting. 😕❤️

Wonderful!
Consider high quality solar lights for night time. I have some on artwork and trees, plus string lights. All solar. Great tips. Thanks.
@Barbie c that’s a great tip as well! Thank you
This really cool but could show some videos where they take all the lawn away
Oh my, I love your videos. Thank you so much for what you do to help those of us struggling to make something beautiful on a limited budget.
@Lisa Langstraat. I got your back Lisa!
Love the elevated planter idea with the seating space!
@Lisa Farwell I thought that was so cool. Clever and easy to do. WINNING! Thank you for the comment.❤️
And thank you for all your videos - they are awesome!!!
Appreciate it! Taking a break but I’ll be back.
These are great tips! I love the multiple material bench and lighting tips!
Thank you! A little creative thinking can go a long way on a tight budget.
I am really enjoying your videos. As a first time homeowner, I don't have a lot lying around. I would love to see a getting started video like tips for things to look for in deciding where to start. My yard is mostly a blank slate.
That’s a great idea for a video! Thank you
Wow! I am in love with the two looks at the end. Thank you for compiling these :)
@Divina Strings. RIGHT! I would never have thought that but I had to share. Thank you for the comment!
Thanks for all the awesome tips!
@Pat Wilkinson thank you so much for the comment!!! ❤️

You definitely have great ideas. I was introduced to you by your friend James. Im new to the business of Landscaping as a "business" vs hobby.
Hey there. I apologize as I missed this comment. James is a good dude. Thank you for saying hi!
Love the Boulder idea. Going to try it since we have a few that I didn’t know what to do with
Nice!!! Thank you for sharing!

Hi Holly. Honest answer, I’m not sure. I’d definitely consult a horticultural expert at a local nursery on this one.❤️
Very good tips
@Darla Morvant. Thank you!

Wouldn't those slices of stump rot or no?
Yes but if a sealer was put on they would probably last a good amount of time.

Thick plastic barrier underneath the rocks to act as a weed suppressant. The same way you would with cardboard in a no till method of gardening.
