Love landscaping videos. My favourite gardening projects are planning and planting new beds. I plant mainly shrubs and grasses. Love the puppy doing his zoomies.
I saw some Camellias planted in a hot parking lot bed this week. Despite being sheared & getting lots of sun, they were blooming away. Fairly large shrubs, probably 10 year old office park. Guess "October Magic"? Isn't it fun to plant other folks yards? Looks great Jim & puppers!
I love seeing how you transform other yards. I wondered why the hardscape installer didn't end the bottom wall with a more closed in approach, bringing the blocks up to the steps. That will prevent wash-out issues in the future. Your placement of the plants, however, help to disguise this issue and prevent future erosion. Well done!
So fun to see Griffin roaming around! I think this is a great example of how a challenging space and its constraints force you to be creative, and ultimately creates something that is unique and probably better than if you had the "perfect" space. I love all the different layers created by the retaining walls and stairs though. Excited to see what happens in that hidden garden! (Video idea : how to landscape around a focal specimen or garden art) Thanks for taking us along on this fun and informative project!
The Mahonia Caress is a very fancy-looking shrub. I have one in a container and have yet to have any issues with it. The fact that it flowers is an extra perk.
You mentioned this video on Sundays Q&A so glad I found it. Thanks so much for giving us the details on why you selected each plant. Looking forward to see this project evolve through out the year.
Jim, I’v been a subscriber for a long time. This is my favorite video you have ever posted! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Looking forward to more of your videos on Landscape Rehab.
Great to see Griffin and his buddy having fun exploring the yard. I learned about heucheras not liking being in the ground. Dale’s Strain seems to be one that is doing well for me in the ground while others I’ve had to dig up and keep in containers.
My favorite nursery just announced an end of season sale on all shrubs and evergreens. Headed there tomorrow to see what I can get that I am still able to plant. Love this series!
Love this series! Just what I need as my yard needs a lot of rehab! I love your plant choices which give me a lot of ideas for my own space. Would love to see something specific for full shade. I am struggling to figure out small evergreen screening plants along a 3 ft fence under very large maples. The fence separates our back yard and our neighbors’ front yard, so needs to be very tidy. So many “shade” recommendations are actually part-shade, not full shade. This area only gets winter sun when the tree leaves are gone but we are PNW zone 8b, not so much sun in the winter, lots of rainy days. Also love all the Griffin sightings throughout!
I love the heucherella and carex combination! I've found that the heucherella grows better for me in zone 6 clay soil. I've got a Carex as a trial. Can't wait to see my own combo!
It was great seeing Griffin in a video. Wondered why Holly wasn't there. The landscape looks good. I love the Aspidistra. Would ginger or turmeric overwinter there if you mulched over them heavily in winter?
My old shrubs in the front yard finally got pulled this week. So, I'm hoping to finally start planting all the items that I've already purchased, waiting for that to happen. Will begin working on the backyard after the new patio goes in which will hopefully be next week. Planning to hit my favorite two nurseries to see if I can find anything else on clearance, etc. At this point mainly need soil amendments, etc. Thank you for all the helpful videos.
Just bought an Alabama Beauty. I saw a large one at a nursery that I made a beeline straight over to. Found a much more affordable smaller one elsewhere. Truly fabulous! Saw and had to have it! Their yard is looking great!
I really enjoy this segment, seeing yard transformations. Looking forward to your recommendation to the "Hidden Garden". Looks like cardio-day for you and Griffin!
The landscaping looks good. Tender perennials would be at risk if planted in November, but such plants have a better chance if planted earlier. Climate change is always a risk, but we do what we can.
Love these garden design videos from you!! I am in the process of trying to landscape our new house and your videos provide lots of inspiration. Looking forward to more of these types of videos.
I liked all the plants you picked for this landscape. I also liked the placement of the plants. The beds are very visually appealing because of the mixture of colors, textures, and foliage. Are the folks who live in the house gardeners at all?
@@JimPutnam sounds like my daughter who would like my help with landscaping. Therefore, your choices are all plants that require little to no maintenance. Those plants will blend into lovely beds as they mature. The varying plants will provide so much color and interest. Good job 👍!
I love these! I am planting near the fence on the west side of my yard. It receives sun until neighbor’s trees shade in afternoon. I have a Japanese Maple in front of my garage pt shade, and only the side that gets light fills out, the side “against the building is shaded, so it’s like a “half width” tree. My question is when spacing Camellias against fence (for example) do I give it half width on center from fence, or plant closer because it probably won’t fill out fully? Thx
You mentioned that heuchera like to be planted on a slope when you have clay soils? I live in Atlanta and I love heuchera but have lost one after another. Could it be a drainage issue in my clay soil?
I was surprised at how close the three Soft Caress Mahonias were planted together. I have just one plant that takes up a space larger than the three you planted. It is also much taller than the 3 foot height given in the Southern Living specifications. I know this because I have 2 planted under low windows which are now blocking some of the view out the windows.
I planted a dozen of them a foot apart to created a hedge in front of some Ligustrum Recurvifolia and Gold Dust Aucuba. Can't wait for them to form their own hedge.
@@jpippinator I would really urge you to space those much further apart. My 2 plants are at least 4 feet wide, maybe even wider. If they are happy in their location, it won't take long for them to get much bigger. Mine are only in their third year in the garden. Here is the spacing recommendation for a hedge of them: Plant 4-5’ apart in the shrub border or for mass plantings. For an informal hedge, plant 3 to 3 ½’ apart, as measured from the center of each plant. An interesting side note: I have two small SC mahonias from seed. Waiting to see if they survive over the winter and then may pot them up into containers. I didn't know they would seed so readily.
@@jpippinator it's a common mistake many gardeners make, including myself. We want a freshly planted area to look mature before its time. I am already having to move plants out of the foundation shrub bed where my 2 Mahonias are planted but in my case it is because they have grown much larger than projected.
Hey Jim - it's not late to plant aspidistra in Chapel Hill/7b? I held off thinking a hard winter would be questionable. Also, those southern living begonias, sterling moon maybe, were not planted? I have been looking for those locally and figured I would wait for spring for those as well.
Heucheras, especially the the browns and purples don't really look good anywhere surrounded with brown mulch as people are wont to do. When I see them in pots, they're very pretty, but you bring them home, plant them in dirt, and they disappear, or look like old November leaves!
I'm loving these landscaping vids. That property offers so many opportunities to different points of interest and plant selections.

I need those retaining walls in my back yard.

That Griffin is a rascal..and I love it!
Yay for Griffin! It was fun to watch him zooming around with his happy face. The plant selections made a huge impact in those areas! Looks good.
Griffin is so so cute running around!!! Love to see him!! Awesome landscape choices!!!
Griffen looked like he was having a ball! Perpetual motion. Loved seeing the different plants you chose and hearing the reason why.
The Mahonia Caress is a very fancy-looking shrub. I have one in a container and have yet to have any issues with it. The fact that it flowers is an extra perk.
So nice to see Griffin having so much fun! The planting will be pretty in the Spring and Summer.
Beautiful choices! The cast iron plant is a great vertical accent from the top and bottom views.
Griffin looks very happy :)
Beautiful job Jim

Looking forward to what you're going to do in the wooded area!
I love the Encore Azaleas. They bloom at the oddest time and complement the Camillias so nicely. Win win fursure. 😎👌
Great to see Griffin and his buddy having fun exploring the yard. I learned about heucheras not liking being in the ground. Dale’s Strain seems to be one that is doing well for me in the ground while others I’ve had to dig up and keep in containers.

That's awesome
Well I did some damage today🙃 lots of great sales on perennials and thanks to Horttube I know which ones are okay to buy now🙂

I have wanted to try some heucherallas in the last two years. I am glad you mentioned the slope advice. I wish I had as much energy as Griffin.

I enjoy this subject and look forward to more rehabs!
Great plant choices 👍can’t wait to see the rest of it 🌱 🌲 🌺
These are my favorite types of videos. Great work!

Really enjoy these one day projects!!! So much inspiration and practical applications : D
Griffin! Love these landscaping videos.
I love these kinds of videos. This is looking great already, and it will only look better over time.
Thank you. Very interesting video. Looking forward to the woodland part.
Love seeing this type of video. Especially excited to see the sunken garden.
Enjoyable good video series and I'm sure little Griffin enjoyed himself as well x
I really enjoy this segment, seeing yard transformations. Looking forward to your recommendation to the "Hidden Garden". Looks like cardio-day for you and Griffin!
Coming together enjoying this series.
Thanks for following along!
Was wondering what you were going to put along the fence. Really like to see what you choose, see if any would be my choice.
Fabulous
Wow - it’s gonna be fabulous when all your plantings are done !
The landscaping looks good. Tender perennials would be at risk if planted in November, but such plants have a better chance if planted earlier. Climate change is always a risk, but we do what we can.
Lots of nice hardscaping
Love the wood fence. Looks like ours that we did. Ours is called a Floridian shadowbox.
Love these garden design videos from you!! I am in the process of trying to landscape our new house and your videos provide lots of inspiration. Looking forward to more of these types of videos.
Beautiful job 👍 I can't wait to see it in the spring!
Looks great!!!
Looking good!
LOVE the camelia! I have to have one or two of these next year!
It is a great variety!
Looking gorgeous! Can hardly wait to see the finished project.
Thanks for following along with it.
i love these planting videos! are the carax and camellia something that can be found here in the triangle?

Can you plant encore azaleas in the sun shade?

I didn’t know you can plant cast iron plants this late in the fall
They are pretty tough and the house will winter protect them. Need good drainage regardless of season
What side of the house is that, that's all bare ground the, north, south? obviously it either cooks or receives no light

I'm gonna wait on the Begonias, but the aspidistra near the house should be fine.

JIM, How do i stop VOLES from eating my heuchera garden?? please thanks!
