- The tree in our front yard has been in need of some landscaping for a while so in this video I show you how to landscape, edge, and mulch around trees. This landscaping will add a clean look to your lawn and also add some color to your landscape. We cut and edge around the tree, planted various plants, put down newspaper as a weed barrier, and placed mulch on that to complete the look.

Use a garden hose to design the bed ..works great
Not Really
me too!
Worked great for me!
I personally use an electrical extension cord to mark the shape, which I find more flexible and precise than a garden hose. Great video, thank you.
You and your wife did an awesome job.
I used a hose to design around my tree. It’s pliable and easy to manipulate
WOW! SHE'S A KEEPER, GREAT TEAM WORK, GREAT JOB, THANKS MR& MRS R.K. BROTHER BRUCE.
Agree!
Oohh I love how your wife helps you! This year my husband and I wanted to landscape our yard and I am so glad he is interested in it as well. Good time to bond even if we sometimes get frustrated during our projects lmao (because it's hard work!)
Lovely doggy.
I might be wrong, but she's doing most of the hard work.
Passively…. 😅
I have used a newspaper weed barrier under mulch over and around evergreen tree roots. Just as Mrs Knorr demonstrated, the sheets of newspaper were easily to position and weeds beneath my trees were kept at bay for several years.
Awesome job Ryan! I'd recommend using a garden hose when trying to visualize the shape of the desired landscaping... and I'd also recommend treating with Preen before adding mulch... lawn u.s looking amazing as always!
Great advice!
After cutting the edge you can make strip cuts slightly wider than your flat head shovel. Subsequently getting under the sod and quickly peeling it up is a breeze. Makes it super easy to reuse the sod elsewhere too!
Great video Ryan. B-Roll is phenomenal.
You have a very trusting wife alliwing her fingers to be that close to the spade while peeling up the sod 😳. Nice job. Looks great! 👍
Dark black mulch is the best it really makes the lawn pop great job
Amazing how it makes the lawn pop even more, which i did not think was possible.
On recently installed younger trees, it's suggested to plant perennials rather than replanting annuals every year. Which would end up disturbing young root system that is just spreading itself radially outbound from trunk only an inch or two under ground surface.
Nice job, especially installation of plastic borderwhich is way better alternative than resharpening edge every year using concave half Moon blade.
YES LOOKS GREAT! I have some new ideas for my trees. We just purchased a house and I'm super excited to do my yard. Thanks so much for sharing
The landscape makes the lawn look better. I like painting the beds to help visualize.
instablaster.
It's nice seeing Mrs Ryan. TEAMWORK! Good job y'all.
Hey Ryan. I highly recommend skipping fabric in mulch areas and treating the soil with Preen before mulching. It can also be applied occasionally after the mulch is installed to prevent unwanted weed growth. Looks great!
Is there a generic preen? I've got quite large beds to take care of.
I have a three year old tree-farm grown Prairie Horizon Alder (developed by the University of North Dakota) that was planted by a bobcat into a roughly three foot diameter hole. After planting, the installers put a raised soil area (4 inches high maybe) around the outer edge of the planting hole and then put natural wood mulch on it and tapered it down to within an inch or so of the trunk. As the mulch blew away or decayed over the last few years, I didn't keep the grass from invading into it very well and would now like to get the grass out of there for good...and put in some lawn edging. The mulched area is not grown over to the point of being a "lawn" already but if not dealt with, I'm sure it would grow right up to the tree. I am concerned that there would be feeder routes up into that raised border area so don't want to dig the grass out with a shovel so will probably have to use a hand spade and be careful about cutting them off. I did pull up a bunch of the grass (yesterday) closest to the trunk and found a number of roots that were under the grass and are now exposed to the air. Can I just put an inch or so of topsoil over those exposed roots, dig out the rest of the invading grass by hand, ...and then dig a circle against the outer edge of the raised area, install lawn edging, and re-mulch the area again? Would that edging be too close to those feeder roots and damage them? I don't want to remove/flatten the raised area so was thinking of cutting out the grass further away by a foot or two in a bigger circle or in a design like you did, and then installing the edging out there and re-mulching the whole thing. I am assuming that if I was to do the larger mulch area, I would have to not put too much mulch up on top of those feeder roots in the raised area so they can breath???. I also don't really know how/where those feeder routes grow to after. Do they go back down as they get further from the tree or run just under the lawn? Will putting lawn edging 3-4 feet away from the tree impede those roots in the future? Can you give me some guidance on this please. Thanks.
Instead of newspaper, I fill my wheelbarrow with water and soak cardboard laying it down around the plants. Works well as a supressor.
really?? Good to know. I was told not to use cardboard due to the glue, chemicals. Glad to hear you've used it without problems. Thanks
Cardboard is a great weed blocker. It breaks down naturally too and add to the soil.
I use cardboard as well. The one thing to be careful about though… termites love the stuff! My house is concrete so it’s not as big of a concern for me.
That edge and clean out looks great.
Nice work. Viewers should be aware that newspaper will act as a barrier for water going in and cause it to run off away from the plants and tree roots. The openings above each plant are minimal, so this is a real problem when in summer season. It also harm the tree by depriving it of water except beyond the bed. This is a serious problem if the bed extends out beyond the tree's branches. Just be aware and watch the tree for any signs of browning leaves.
smart move to get the wife involved BEFORE you start digging (-: Nice that you guys worked together. My wife works hard to help me out too even if I'm not the best about working as a pair.
Me and my old lady cannot work together lol. We try but it just never works well lol
This looks great! Just found your channel recently, and you have a beautiful yard! Like some of the others have said, I use cardboard or newspaper over the ground under colored mulch. I find the newspaper lasts about a year, which is good, since it is much more amenable to breakdown and the biodiversity of the life below than landscape fabric, which I have also used. I will definitely try this new type of border. In the past, I used the old kind that stuck down in the soil but also heaved itself into horrid shapes over the seasons.
I moved into my first home late last summer. I had severely overgrown garden beds from the previous owners. I had no idea where to start. Then someone recommended cardboard. So easy and works well to kill preexisting weeds that are just too much to remove by hand. The previous owners used landscaping fabric… it’s shredded into hundreds of pieces, sticking up here and there. Looks terrible.
Great job Ryan! Good to see you and the Mrs. collaborating.
Your grass is insanely gorgeous!
Turned out really nice way better than I thought. I know what my next weekend project is 😁
curious if you had to cut any tree roots... also, I appreciate that you didn’t get too close to the tree. too many people think you can pile up the soil, covering the root flare - and slowly killing their tree.
I used newspaper for weed barrier, and it works very well for the whole year without weed coming through.
These islands are nice....sometimes really beautiful....maybe always....but good luck keeping grass of it when you mow the lawn!
Beautiful garden and lovely neighborhood too. Thank you
Nice job. It's fun to see your wife helping. Teamwork!
I found while removing the turf use a straight edgeing tool and do like 6 inch wide stripes and u can peel it up by hand with very little effort ! Definitely easier than being on hands and knees prying with a spade shovel or short handle landscape shovel
You’re so cute. Love your approach and how you did such a strong job. I’m inspired! Well, done Ryan. 👏
You should box some of that turf and mail it to Connor Ward.
Looks fantastic - it really brightens up the yard - thanks for sharing!
Great job! Looks real pretty. Gave some ideas to do under my tree 👵
ABSOLUTELY, ME2
Don't forget to mention that tree trunks don't like mulch on top of them. It causes issues. I make sure to mulch around the tree leaving about 6in unmulched around the trunk
Looks amazing. Wished my wife would help me in the yard.
😆 LOL, SHOW HER THE VIDEO
I wish my husband would help me in the yard!!
@@TexasRose50 ASK HIM, U DO KNOW HOW 2 ASK HIM?
@@TexasRose50 SHOW HIM THE VIDEO 😆 LOL
Bruce, in the past, he has helped in other ways. But he's just not into gardening.
Looks great you did a professional job.
Great video. Straight to the point with details thanks
I need to do that to a tree in my front yard. Thanks for the tips. Yours looks awesome. Nice team work! 👍🏻
Well done, team playing together stays together, and looking good.
Dang bro ! Looks really nice! I use Col-Met edging and been using it for a decade. No heaving during seasonal temp changes either - at least for me that is. 👍👍👍😎👊
Thanks! Gonna do this where our birdbath is in our front yard, and around our bushes!
It makes me glad my yard is sand based. Looks very nice
sharpen your garden spade on an angle grinder then cut the sod into small 1ft squares. Its very easy to lift like and get under like this. Also you can use the garden spade to edge too since its razor sharp. Ive done so many beds in my bermuda like this. Works great.
Omg your Lawn is beautiful Especially At .28.
Thanks for Sharing. 💚
Looks nice good job to you and your wife thanks for the video
Haha what are the odds? I got the same plastic edging and am planning to do my front tree on Sunday! Looks great 👍🏼
Wow... that lawn looks game ready
Purple and Gold flowers! Nice.
Nice job! I like the plant selection too. Today I used Black Mulch in the garden. Great tips too. Thank you.
Dude, the lawn looks like a carpet! great Job!
Great video with easy to understand instructions 💯
hey Ryan nice job ! small tips to see before digging expand the gardening hose on the grass to see where to cut and use big rusted nail to fit the plastic barrier !! sorry for my engish im french canadian . ave a greath day
Love the change looks great!!!
Looks so much better. Good stuff to you and your bride.
Beautiful bed! And the pups are adorable. 💕
Awesome job, beautiful work. As far as the weeds, you could use a pre-emergent.
Great, another project to do in my yard....lol. Great video and love the classic cars/truck next door......
nice crisp edge. very pretty.
Your lawn is gorgeous!
Ryan, I use the same exact edging to keep my bermuda out of my flower/mulch beds. It works well and makes edging with a string trimmer a lot easier, especially with reel low grass
I've made mini box gardens with similar stuff. A roll fell off a truck in the highway. I picked it up when traffic was light and carried it home. Square edges are done with a heat gun. I couldn't get anything over 4 foot square with it. Too much vehicle damage to it. Can't complain if it's free.
First Aussie 😁Great teamwork, the end result is a credit to you both. 😁👍👍
Another great video thanks for sharing Ryan
Smart way to keep a circle too!
You lose some lawn but you gain some crisp edging
This looks great planning to try to do the same
I have a sugar maple that's triangular. I've thought about building landscaping timbers around it making a hexagon. Then filling the wood with mulch. This tree is like 60 years old. I wouldn't do the flowers. If I fill the hex up level to the top, the base of the tree would be even without building up a hill. Mulch near the base can choke a tree, but if it's 40 foot tall, I doubt you'll choke it.
First time to your channel. Good job. Good commentary. Thumbs up
Ryan, nice finished project. Lots of help from the Westies, I see. Would love to have that black, Iowa soil here in Missouri!
The westies are mainly more in the way than helping...haha
Very good soil here for sure!
Mulches around trees are nice
Thank you! Enjoyed your video ! Well done !
Love the job supervisor! 🐕 Video real helpful
Those roots are the envy! Nice planting, a jewel in the lawn crown
Exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks a lot
THANX , MR& MRS KNORR, YOU'VE JUST INSPIRED ME 2 PRATICE ON MY TREE'S LANDSCAPE, AND LATER IM GOING 2 OFFER 2 DO MY NEIGHBORS ON MY BLOCK 4 FREE.
I sharpen all my tools. It makes cutting up the sod a breeze
Hi 👋 Ryan that was a great 👍 video even your dog 🐕 was helping keep up the great work my dog is flat out next to me ❤️🇬🇧david
Bear down! 🐻 looks nice though! Thanks for the useful tips
To me - flowers are the bow on the package for the lawn. Looks awesome buddy 👍🏼
That looks GREAT! I have root envy...
It looks amazing!! Such a great addition to your lawn!
Man that lawn is crisp - looks like carpet!
Feels like it too..I love it
nice shape!
❤beautiful. Thanks for the idea
Looks awesome and thanks for the information ♥️
❤Love the design.
Thank you for sharing
Turned out great.
Wow amazing thanks
I understand the pain of digging up turf to redesign.
Looks really clean!
I see your Westies supervising just like mine do! 😂 The bed looks great!
They are always supervising :)
Wow yeah that looks really nice! I need to do this to some of my trees in the yard 👍
That is one nice lawn!!
You say you hate removing good grass but it looks so much better now. That back left corner in your backyard that stays wet could use "Landscaping". A new bed, large bush-bushes or tree to block that road and houses. Make lemonade out of lemons, instead of those ruts when you mow. Check out the old youtube vids - Designers Landscape-- he makes it look so easy to design new beds. I like this video of his DesignersLandscape#604.
gotta love that color pop!
Looks Good!
