Hi Garden friends! Join me as we tackle a hillside garden makeover, turning a tricky slope into a beautiful space with a new planting bed. I’ll walk you through planting a mix of trees and shrubs and show you how to create a clean, professional border using a clever garden hose edging hack. Whether you’re working on a challenging landscape or just looking for fresh gardening tips, this project will inspire your next outdoor transformation!

What massive project you and George have taken on -- and it is going to look aMAZing!!!!!!!! I can see your vision, Steph! Looking forward to watching it develop!!
I can clearly see why the landscape fabric was a choice. The wildness, slope and distance from the house all make sense. I am not a fan, but for your needs, it does seem perfect. I love the choice of plant life, especially the fringe tree, which I am thinking about myself. I am of a mind now that most of my beds will be deer and rabbit resistant, but mostly proof, drought tolerant and not need to be pruned down to fit the space. I’ve removed roses, lilies, hosta, and any perennials that needed to be sprayed for a variety of reasons. Love the new Japanese columnar tree. Nice to have access to a grower. That whole area will be just gorgeous over time. Much good luck with the project. Isabel the root slayer too. Heavy for me, but a great tool.
loved the video, the garden looks beautiful and the shrubs you picked are going to be amazing .thank you and george for sharing it with us. hope you have a great week!
Its going to look fabulous! ..when I first saw the space, it looked to me like there should be a beautiful pond down there in that area! ..would look awesome.
The new border is beautiful. Congratulations on getting a Root Slayer - it’s been a game changer for me! I learned about it a few years ago by watching Soleil of the Suburban Oasis garden channel - she’s in Michigan.
Hi Joette, its great! I really enjoyed using it, and think it will be very well used in my garden. Glad to have added it to my collection of garden tools. Thank you so much for watching, and for your comment 🥰
We are working on a mixed deciduous evergreen border too -- to replace an old raggedy Arb hedge . It’s by far the hardest project we have ever taken on. We also chose Ossorio G to brighten up the space, leaning on golden metasequoia particularly for wetter areas…
Great choices Emma! It really is hard work digging up old trees/shrubs. Oh a dawn redwoods are gorgeous! I would love one eventually. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
That looks amazing!! I am astounded by how many projects you 2 have completed this year! And I will never, ever, second guess anything that you do because everything that you touch turns out just so beautifully!!
So excited for your garden and looking forward to your next plant selection. And I learned something new once again - about the rootslayer shovel. What an awesome tool! Thank you for sharing your gardening adventures.
That looks AMAZING! I am in love with the Blue Spruce 😍 it really pops in front of all the green, great choice! Thank you for sharing this with us. Excited to watch it progress over time. 😊
We do the hose thing too. I’ve found that I like longer curves as opposed to many smaller ones. I think it’s easier on the eye. You are one of my favorite garden gurus 😊. I love that George is so into the garden like you.
Steph and George, this is gorgeous. I have had the root slayer for a couple of years now after Jim Putnam recommended it and it has been a game changer for me.
Steph, love watching you and George work together. Question I covered a raised bed at a local business with large pieces of cardboard to cover daylillies. Added lots of mulch and it looked really nice at first. Now some of the daylillies are popping thru. There is a big tree in the center but could I put the Dewit fabric down over the cardboard and readd more mulch. I don't want to kill the tree but wondered your thoughts of that fabric on top of cardboard with mulch on top.
Great job on the many projects! Teamwork makes the dream work 😉 The curves in your new bed extensions were the way to go, at least esthetically. However, George went to sharp on the curves, which is going to make mowing the grass even more of a pain, if not impossible, depending on mower type/size, which means the trimmer has to be used.
Love that side yard. George did a great job with the design. Ok Steph, you might remember I told you my husband and I were moving a Japanese maple to another location of our yard but didn't get much rootball. You had replied to give it some time. It seemed ok at first but today I see every leaf has now curled up and are dry and crunchy! Do you think I should just wait for Spring and see if it comes back? Thank you.
I have a fringe tree too and it is beautiful in the spring especially. Did you know that besides the ash tree fringe tree is a host of the emerald ash borer. Don’t know if you have those in your area or not.
Hi Joyce, Thank you so much! Glad to know you also have one. I didn't know that they were susceptible to emerald ash borer. Thanks for sharing, I now know to keep an eye on things if the tree ends up looking unhealthy at some point. I appreciate that!
Hi, I wanted to let you know that chionanthus virginicus/fringe tree is a plant that the deer rub their antlers on. They rub it so hard thae bark rubs down to the whitewood. I thought it would heal over, so I didn't do anything, but the following year, they did it again!!! I had to put a wire cage around mine unfortunately. But mine is 10 years old now and thriving, but still has to have the cage till new bark grows over where they rubbed it off. They're beautiful trees though. My birds like mine, but unfortunately you have to have a male and female for fruit, and I only have 1 tree. If i could find a place that sexed their plants, I would buy a mate, but i don't have any idea if mine is m/f though.
I love the Japanese maple tree we tried few years ago planted one in front yard zone 6 it failed I was so hurt. scared to try again. I would like to plant a spruce shrub it's not to late if I plant it next weekend?
As far as I’m concerned if you need to use landscape fabric people shouldn’t shame people that use it we all know the pros and cons of using it and in some places it’s necessary. I use it sparingly but I also have noxious weeds so oh well. The next owners of our property can choose to keep it or remove it. We also have a spot in our yard that’s IMPOSSIBLE to mow so guess what it has landscape fabric and mulch and a few shrubs. 🤗🎃🍁💚🙃
Great project Steph and George! I love that you guys have all the rocks a boulders to work with and add a lot to the landscape. Your property is beautiful at every turn😊
Hi there, I am a naturally fast speaker, I have to make a conscious effort to slow down. I'm working on it. Thank you for the feedback, and for watching.
Hiya, Hope you’re well! I really do enjoy watching - it’s so lovely to see the changes, and all the wonderful plants and ideas! 😀 My last post came across as very abrupt, which I’m sorry for. I mean, if my only critique is that you speak a tad quickly, you’re way ahead!😁 Thanks for your videos- in rain filled Uk at the moment, and they are fab to watch

The rootslayer is my favorite gardening tool- things are so much easier with it!
Nice job! Thanks for sharing your thought process in designing this area. Really interested in the seven sons shrub!
What a beautiful addition to your yard!

Your yard is beautiful. I wish i had a George. The 7 son tree is great. I have one and it is beautiful. You make good choices.
You make this job look sooo easy. But I know it isn't. Great job. I too have a hill and it's a tough area to landscape. Thanks for the inspiration.
That looks awesome Steph. You and George did a great job and I love all the plants you planted. Looking forward to seeing it progress. ❤❤❤
Hi Steph🌺 . Wonderful project in the garden and these shrubs and trees are going to be amazing in the garden .Have a great day .🌺🌻🌺
Love it!!!!
I love all of mt you tube gardening friends. The new bed will be stunning and fun to watch evolve.

How fun! This is going to extend your garden so much. I see your vision. Beautiful!

Steph and George, this is gorgeous. I have had the root slayer for a couple of years now after Jim Putnam recommended it and it has been a game changer for me.
White fringetrees are so underutilized. Such a beautiful native species. I'm glad you're trying one out there.

Thank you Steph and George. It will be fun to watch the progress of your new garden bed ! 🎃🍁💚🙃
Love the Step Brothers reference 😂. The border will be beautiful! I can see your vision
We planted a Trombly Red Sentinel last fall and we have really been pleased the year round interest it provides!
Hi Edith, Its a beautiful tree. We are really happy to have picked one up. I'm glad you enjoy yours as well. Thanks for watching, and for sharing 🍁🍂
Great job on the many projects! Teamwork makes the dream work 😉

Looks good Steph!
My Bloomerang lilac is the same. I may replace it as well.

Looks so nice! I’m working on a hillside garden as well.

Everyone should have at least one Gingerwine Ninebark in their yard.
Hi there, Its a beauty. I'm so happy to have added one to my garden.
Thats what adain jumping worms look like , thats what i thought it was at first!
Looks fantastic
Thank you so much Regina 🥰
I love the Japanese maple tree we tried few years ago planted one in front yard zone 6 it failed I was so hurt. scared to try again. I would like to plant a spruce shrub it's not to late if I plant it next weekend?
I just planted a bloomerang lilac..is it a dud then?
Hi Stephen, this can be your gully garden.
George is right straight is very easy…..😂😂
He really is right, but so much more fun to add curves 😆
There’s purposes for landscape fabric, and if used responsibly, there’s no reason not to use it. 👍
Beautiful!
Thank you so much Denise 🥰
As far as I’m concerned if you need to use landscape fabric people shouldn’t shame people that use it we all know the pros and cons of using it and in some places it’s necessary. I use it sparingly but I also have noxious weeds so oh well. The next owners of our property can choose to keep it or remove it.

Great project Steph and George! I love that you guys have all the rocks a boulders to work with and add a lot to the landscape. Your property is beautiful at every turn😊
Lovely garden.
But I really wish you would slow down when speaking.
You almost don’t stop for breath, and it is stressful to listen to
Hi there, I am a naturally fast speaker, I have to make a conscious effort to slow down. I'm working on it. Thank you for the feedback, and for watching.
Hiya,
Hope you’re well!
I really do enjoy watching - it’s so lovely to see the changes, and all the wonderful plants and ideas! 😀
My last post came across as very abrupt, which I’m sorry for.
I mean, if my only critique is that you speak a tad quickly, you’re way ahead!😁
Thanks for your videos- in rain filled Uk at the moment, and they are fab to watch
