1920’s garden makeover - 3 year timelapse!

- I want to bring you all up to speed with our garden renovation over the last 3 years. When we bought this house the garden was overgrown and full of invasive plants such as snowberries and bindweed. It’s been a lot of work but we’ve finally broken the back of it. We now have a blank canvas ready for growing our own veg and lots of planting in Spring. More about that next time.
Here's some of the products I'm using:

looks great! I like to see real human progress not we built a house in a month by a huge team of pros. This feels like something i could accomplish in 3 years while working my 9-5! I love the content. as for where you popped up, you came up on my fyp here on youtube.
Love the work . Great work done by you and the missus mate . Two tips for you from a cranky old bugger who has spent a lot of time on the tools . Buy long handles , length gets leverage and saves the back . Only buy wooden handles , you can hear them groan when they reach maximum load . Metal and fibreglass just leave you on your butt wondering what happened when they give , you get no warning . Loved it when the fork broke , you looked like you just lost a friend 😂
It made me laugh so much xD
Wanted to say I enjoyed watching you carefully break up soil clods and cover the new plants as you put them into the ground- my father always said you could tell a man who respects and loves the earth by how he reverences the growing process and helps the plants to take root and thrive-- he handled planting like this himself-- nice to see a man of the earth-- thank you and I am having a warm, happy memory as I write this-- bye
I’m into gardening and the title of. 3 year time lapse caught my attention. I enjoyed it
Pretty good for amateurs!
My Brit friends moved to Canada, and were horrified to see huge signs everywhere saying "SOD" in massive letters with big arrows.
We had to let them know that sod was the word for pre-grown rolls of lawn that you could lay like carpet, rather than seeding.
Their relief was palpable.
Strange, cos it's called sod here in England too. Though it does also double as a minor insult, "don't be such a silly sod" about the equivalent of calling someone a silly sausage or a cheeky monkey.
Impressive root removal. Many would have skipped that part. Well done
We omitted to completely remove roots after having trees and stumps removed and now have several large dips in our lawn where the huge roots are decaying.
This video made me just realize the english accent is really relaxing for me. It's like a university student leaving the house for the first time, and phoning in some time later to catch up and hearing the comfort of your parents voice.
This just showed up in my recommendations! What a transformation! Really beautiful!!!
Same yesterday!
Me too!
It was a bit of a shock to see the original garden because I've become so used to seeing it as it is recently. I've followed your house renovation from the beginning and came here from there.
I hope you and your wife are proud of all you've achieved. Retrospective videos like this put it all into perspective.
Thank you so much! I need to do a similar one for the main renovation on the GH channel and it's taking forever! 😂
Come hail, rain, snow, nothing was stopping you, working like two Energiser bunnies!! I thoroughly enjoyed the restoration of the house too and mightily impressed. So wonderful to be young and full of love and dreams. I wish you every happiness there!! ❤ Much love from South Africa
I came here from your house renovation video. I am very impressed with your new garden. It is sooo beautiful! With a small river on the back - no surprise you fall in love with the garden even in its old condition.
I’m here as a result of TH-cam recommending this video. I’ve not seen any of your other videos before. So perhaps the TH-cam algorithm thought I might like it. Glad I watched it. Inspiring work. Thanks for sharing. 😊👍
What an enjoyable video. I loved the music, the background sound and the result garden. Great job!
That garden would of been someone’s pride and joy at one time
Would've, short for would have.
How refreshing to see people love working in their yards. A beautiful result.
You showed up on my recommended videos and i just can’t pass up a good timelapse video. I will now be a subscriber because this was a fantastic transformation. Beautiful job and I can’t wait to see more.
Man alive. This is beautiful now.
Absolutely awesome job, you rescued an overgrown garden and made it a totally functional place to live and have fun in, great work
Watched the house renovation first, then your garden...back yard. It was wonderful.

I've done this in my younger years . Enjoyed it all house included. I felt the soreness in your muscles after a long day, and the satisfaction when it was each portion was completed. Enjoy
“Extremely amateur gardening project”. Amateur? You literally did everything yourselves! This is not amateur. The patience, love and care. You must be both so satisfied with the end result. It’s beautiful. I appreciate this is likely in addition to a full time job and the English weather.
Wow, what a gem. So glad this garden had you to protect it's integrity. Some beautiful piano music too X:)
Lovely transformation.
And beautiful music choices.
Thank you!!
Aww, can’t say I’m not disappointed that the enchanted garden vibe was completely lost to overly manicured. Such a lot of work and must be satisfying but kind of looks like every other suburban garden now
Your house renovation showed up on my feed,and I couldn't resist your amazing work here in the garden.From the compost pile to the new grass,to the raised beds,the shed and the lovely new plants...lovely!!
Not wasteland. I suspect it was a wildlife haven. My garden was also like this 40 years ago. The brambles and bindweed never stop fighting back. Good luck.
Well Done! I love the lawn lot of space..the little stream...so peaceful and beautiful..your veggie garden and greenhouse...so sustainable own veggies and herbs..the winter snow so so awesome...you did great!
Well done Andy and Mrs Mac.👍👍
Thank you!
Hey Andy, I came here from your Gosforth handyman channel, and enjoy them both equally.
Seeing the transformation that you and Mrs Mac have achieved, is stunning and inspiring, I imagine many people would have seen that garden, and walked away.
All credit to you both, for having the vision, to see through the brambles and bindweed, to create a such a beautiful place to live.
We like a challenge but I must admit I was a bit daunted when we first started! Time flies! 😁
The algorithm recommended your video. I watch a lot of reno, self-build videos like Trent and Allie, Tyler and Todd, and How to Renovate a Chateau. What you did is awesome and definitely something similar to what I would like to do one day.
Wonderful.l work. The greenhouse reminded me of my mother, a very keen gardener (as my father) in Newcastle - as well as the garden at home not far from this, she also had an allotment. In 1969 her last baby died at 21 days, my sister. My father bought her a new replacement greenhouse for the rotten one that came with their house - nothing of course replaces a baby, but it gave her so much pleasure and stood until she died in 2004 (when it was replaced by decking). It is good to see Newcastle gardening continuing.....Nothing like being in touch with the soil to keep people happy and healthy.
The algorithm brought me here. Amazing work.
Beautiful transformation, must be a welcome relief from the work on the house. One plea, when planting anything with bamboo supports please please put something on the end of the cane , you can buy them or drilled wine corks work perfectly.
Many A&E doctors and opthalmolagists have seen horrific eye injuries from people bending down and not seeing the end of the cane until too late, so easily done and its life changing.
Keep up the inspiring work
Can relate to this as I am in the process of a major garden renovation. Wet and muddy ground, need several wheelbarrows and family hands on deck, seeing transformation coming along slowly, and at times thinking will I ever get through this. But each day’s worth of work and graft keeps you going in the right direction. Then you start to see your vision come alive.
What a delight to watch .. just glorious results.
Came up in my recommended videos! Outstanding job there! I have a yard as overgrown but lots of damn thistles. I’m not a gardener… I mow lawns, but that’s about it! LOL
What you did to the House you did the same with your Garden ! So beautiful and what a transformation ! Now you can enjoy this amazing Garden in the summer and the view from the House to this Garden is like a picture ! But what we in Holland always saying: Leave the Gardening to the Brits, they are the best !!! Love this video and thanks for sharing !!
Saturday night. Watched your home reno vid this afternoon. This was what I wanted to watch next. Lucky me it popped up while scrolling!!! Excellent !!!
🤩 amazing to see all the progress in one video. Well done The Macs
Thank you! 😍
A lot of incredibly hard work but what a result. Well done!
This just showed up in my feed - can't resist a makeover. Will now go check out your handyman channel. Thank you.
Well done turned a garden into a building site
Wow, what a job! Well done! Sitting here with my jaw dropped LOL
Fantastic! Undertook a similar project myself some 25 yrs. ago. Couldn't face it now but took great pride in it then and share that sense of achievement and fulfilment with you.
Wow such a hard worker and what a transformation 👏
I was just walking by and stuck my nose in to see what was going on. Nev from Aussie.
Beautiful stunning garden! Andy, you are one hard working man!
One of the best all time House and Garden renovations on YT to date. So impressed. The gazillions of hours of joy you'll get from the wisely invested hard work is worth every ounce of energy discipline and love into your work of "Natures" ART. Be blessed in your future bountiful Harvests.
Came across your channel by accident and I really like it. Really good ideas. Well done.
What a wonderful transformation! Congratulations on a vision well executed and a job well done! It's beautiful.
Wow! Massive effort there. We took on an acre and a half of neglected garden fifteen years ago. Hard work but I’d do it all again. It’s so satisfying and of course brilliant exercise. That lawn is epic.
Absolutely amazing!!!. Such a wonderful space!. Well done to you and your wife. ❤❤❤❤
I was surfing channels and came across your channels, Beautiful garden, and house renovation ❤,Thank you for sharing, from Florida, usa
In a different league in so many ways to the so-called "garden makeover" dirge they churn out on daytime TV. Awesome respect to you, did something along similar lines in my much more modest sized plot 25 years ago, loved every minute of it.
This also just showed up in my recommendations. Your yard looks so much bigger with all the brush gone. It looks like it is such a lovely place to relax! Great job to the two of you.
Amazing job. You maximized you space, beautiful.
That is what you call a job well done.👏👏👏👏
Just showed up in my feed. I enjoyed it
Right from the house renovation to this vlog. I'm hooked!
Outdoor toilet - timestamp 10:23 - For The Win 😂
Enjoyed watching three years of hard work. Thanks 👍
That toilet is back indoors now 😂👍
As you wanted to know, your home reno time lapse popped up and you recommended watching this one. Beautiful garden and home.
9:35 the stumps root removal is a huge hassle!! Never seen that before. Kudos to you!!
Rag and Bone Brown recommended your channel glad he did
Andy, so much hard work but what an excellent result !! Well done you are a trouper!
Your channel was just recommended by the TH-cam algorithm, and I’ve subscribed. I’ll be catching up on the videos and checking out the house renovation channel as well.
Lovely job. Great space for a family.
absolute hats off to you both for your hard work on both the house and the garden you must be very proud/satisfied of the results from your hard work
Wonderful! And the music is lovely... I know this was a great deal of hard work and skill over time, but the time lapse and whimsical instrumental accompaniment made it rather dreamy and surreal! Great choice of combining all the features- splendid editing as well. new subscriber today-- came upon this as a suggestion from TH-cam and I am so happy to "find" you-- until next time, good day!
Great work, first looked at the extension video, which linked me to this garden reno. Love your work. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hola from Costa Rica. I stumbled across this and your Timelapse of the house renovation. Most likely because I’ve been watching Chateau renovations from Britain and France for quite awhile and I thought I’d check it out.
I live gardening most of my life being originally from Canada, now I’m retired here. Lots of time on my hands, but the gardening, not so much.
Loved both of the transformations and both of your dedication to doing it right for you. Congratulations on a job well done!! 👍
A lot of money and even more back breaking work there! But, it was worth it. Stunning!
What an amazing effort. Beautiful transformation. Really enjoyed watching it grow as it were.
This popped up on my recommendations. As I was watching, I thought -wait, I think I recognize that yard and that voice! I KNOW I’ve seen that studio build in progress! Sure enough, I get the pleasure of reconnecting with you on this new (to me) channel. Well done!
Excellent video! Perfect music! Thoroughly enjoyed!! Thank you 🙏
When you asked how'd i come across this video, i just looked it up , first one that looked legit and usefull,🌲 great content
Great job! The council in my neighbourhood would have plotted 10/20 flats in that 50m backyard. Love what you did with the property.
And the choice of music for your videos is very nice! Relaxing and soothing, making it a pleasure to watch you work so hard! Good medicine for an old guy like me. Thanks so much.
That stump could be such a nice decoration and habitat for wildlife :( and what's the point of a greenhouse with tiles?
TH-cam recommended this video after I watched a bunch of cleaning videos. Love that little greenhouse.
I started to watch vlogs about people laying patios and jet washing things in gardens and you popped up, enjoyable I will look back at others x
Sorry I’m a bit late making a comment, I’ve had to have 6 sessions with the Samaritans after listening to that music for a hour ,👍
I just watched the house renovation AND this garden renovation, and you've done a fantastic job on both! The lady of the house usually just makes the odd cup of tea while the man nearly kills himself doing all the REAL work, and at the end the lady says, 'WE did it all'...yer, right! However, the lady here really got stuck in and also seemed to enjoy herself, so much respect to her too. You also have the river at the bottom of your wonderful garden, which is a huge bonus in my view, so long as it doesn't flood, but I'm sure you've thought of that, as you have great all round skills and knowledge. You also seem like a really nice down to earth guy. I wish you both much happiness in your new VERY SPECIAL home.
Amazing transformation! I’ll look forward to seeing more as things progress. 👍🏻
Saw the house renovation first and was amazed at the after shots, its absolutely stunning and that you did it all yourself is incredible, cudos
Love the Timelapse extension build and now the garden. Hope you won’t regret the laurels….they spread like mad, don’t provide flower/fruit colour/interest or good food and nesting areas for birds and are problematic to prune/clip as you end up cutting their large leaves which then discolour…..add to all that they are poisonous to children/animals! My next door had them all down the side but after a couple of years he took them out and planted yew (also poisonous!) which, although unremitting green, does have the advantage of being a dense hedge suitable for nesting for small birds which the magpies can’t get into! There are loads of other possibilities for hedging which give colour/interest and you can layer some of them (take a stem, plonk it in the ground and it will root) so you don’t need to break the bank by buying hundreds of plants! Keep up the good work….lovely to see a 1920s house brought up to date by an excellent craftsman😅
I love gardening but unfortunately due to health issues I no longer can. I enjoyed watching your video, I was surfing and saw your video and decided to check it out and I'm glad I did. I'll be following you.Thank you ✌️❤️🙏
Have been watching your Handyman channel since you bought this house. Glad to be here.
Well done mate I enjoyed watching this garden make over ❤❤❤
What a marvellous garden!
found you randomly and I'm so impressed
From Toronto Canada it is 1237AM and I stumbled on you channel for the first time. What caught my interest was the wild garden and how you would tackle it. Watched right to the end. You have done a marvellous job.
Massive undertaking, accomplished beautifully. Congratulations!
What a lot you've both achieved in the last three years, congratulations, you can now enjoy developing it into the garden you want it to be, remember it's a journey with no end !
Been with you on the Handyman channel from right near the beginning and subscribed to both channels for years but follow this more now since the garden !
you just appeared in my feed and I am glad you did. that was fun.
A brilliant transformation - well done!
I must have been sent your video because of my general interest in Gardening.
Amazing transformation, beautiful and wonderful!
Great video. I'd stumbled upon your greenhouse videos previously but I never realised what a massive job you had done in restoring your garden before that. Excellent work.
Derek in Ottawa.
Loved House extention Renovated Equally impressed by work in the long garden, you have created the perfect living space.
Greetings from across the pond (New England), you popped up in my feed because YT knows i love gardening & amazing Before & Afters. Subbed of course. Congrats on your amazing accomplishment!
Thank you for sharing this journey. Astonishing and inspirational content.
