We Took Out All The Grass! 🌿// Garden Answer

[@theresaburg5881]

I'm watching this 5 years later and so much of your yard is unrecognizable in this video. It goes to show how quickly it can change with a lot of work.

[@lindavernon1185]

I love so much how you include Benjamin and Aaron in the videos. Your videos are personal and I feel like I am right there with you. One of my favorite things about them. You guys are super special. Oh and I totally love my T-shirt. I wear it all the time. I think I will order the sweatshirt next. Just love them.

[@eberlinschwinn5634]

This is so much fun to see now (3 years later). Benjamin is little and your plans for a curved walk… to become a straight run. It just proves that projects evolve. I love how it looks now in 2022.

[@suziediva]

Just showed up on my timeline... what fun to see how it was 3 yrs ago & how much you have beautifully developed it to now!!! You are incredibly talented and your passion comes through in all you do👏👏👏👏 Love it💖💖💖 Baby Benjamin was adorable💖💖

[@denisem1632]

Hi Laura, Thanks for sharing but the highlight was seeing Benjamin. He is so adorable and growing up so fast. Take care

[@sherryeemery6615]

I’m in Z5 in Eastern Ontario, been a Gardner all my life, grew up on a market garden and I’m in the process of digging up and renewing my whole garden. I watch all your videos and you’ve given me so many great ideas. The problem is I’m 88 and don’t have your energy, but I’m doing it anyway !

[@julieyoung6387]

Wow I've never seen this one before. To see what it looks like now it's amazing. Love watching them over and over again. Ty

[@grantspencer]

Re-watching in Oct 2022 - WOW! South Garden & Western Garden are unrecognizable!

[@jeanniechancellor807]

I’ve only been watching your vlog for the past year or less. It’s so great seeing how cute Benjamin was as a little guy!!

[@pippilongstocking9634]

To have such a big property like yours is a lot of work to maintain that’s a full time job. How you guys make time for family is amazing.

[@jessicabuben9353]

Love all of this. I love when you kind of film random things in the middle of projects! It feels like real life and I love seeing that. Benjamin is honestly TOO cute and he is giving me baby fever!! Also, I would totally watch you and your mom do things for an entire video. I kind of hoped you would show a bit of you two making your applesauce. I just enjoy your videos so much!!

[@dragonfly9851]

Love the idea of the focal points / statuary between the trees. As the aborvite and the trees grow it will be beautiful. You gave me a great idea for my yard. Actually I wish I had your home, lol !!

[@Hanni3Wanni3]

My gosh! I'm just randomly watching through videos in the background. But I forgot was Benjamin looked like as a baby. SO CUTE 😍 x

[@dellablair5854]

So fun to go back and watch a few older videos, the changes are huge and glorious.

[@lisac.norman8096]

a clean blank slate to plan on what fun it looks so different cant wait to see what your pathway is going to look like super excited for you

[@randomharts]

This is incredible to see…watching in 2022 (4 years makes a lot of difference). Your entire property looks so amazing and completely different now!!!

[@Georgeous.Garden]

Benjamin could not be any cuter!!! I am very much looking forward to seeing this new space develop. Can’t wait!

[@lindalee601]

Hi Laura, I don't think I've met anyone more ambitious than you and your husband. You never cease to amaze me with your projects that you tackle. Feeling so blessed to be included in this next project and can't wait to see how it comes together. 💕🌻🍂

[@lisamiller5162]

I love it that Aaron is so involved and supportive of Laura's projects!

[@hhoversonhh]

@@lisamiller5162 that's what I was going to say. Aaron is involved and supportive. They work as a team. Mine wants what I want but is way less cooperative. But...he is building me that nice circular garden....

[@Bamboo4U2]

@Linda Lee, I know what you mean. I thought Laura was saying "in the future," not "next week," lol. I can picture them talking:
Laura: "I'm thinking of a winding, meandering path toward the vegetable garden and all along it, I can add, I don't know, some perennials and maybe some statuary...."
Aaron: "Okay, let's rip out all the grass tomorrow!"
Laura: "Awesome, I'll go rent the sod cutter!"

[@nay282]

love when benjamin is in your videos..he's so cute

[@elmaelmar2761]

My daughter mention I should follow you and boy I have been binge watching.. your gardens are amazing and sweet little Benjamin is a joy to see.. What a happy baby !! I cant wait to follow along as you design this space!!!

[@zuleymarenteria649]

It would be great to see a video of your morning routine Laura. So energetic!❤

[@cockatielnation5425]

A blank slate! Oh, be still my heart!! I like the way you are approaching this project by just letting it evolve around some general concepts. That is the way I like to roll too. I look forward to seeing what you do there.

[@mochitwa]

Get this girl a million more subscribers so she can buy that property and plant it full of rows of flowers!! 😍😍😍

[@paulacuevas3302]

The ideas so great. I cant wait to see what you come up with. Benjamin is adorable. I love when there’s little breaks in the videos with your family. Thank you for more great ideas.

[@susanlee9532]

He is Sooo adorable!

[@mmmmgoodlife4571]

"Woa check out the stem on that one!" I laughed so hard at that. People in my office are wondering why I'm laughing all alone in my office. That was funny!

[@dawnpleasant2319]

This is exciting! I'm sure whatever you decide will look fantastic. Also, Benjamin is adorable but you already know that!

[@dianatejada5062]

Again, just love watching your process for developing your projects. Can't wait to watch the evolution of this project.
I know it will be just beautiful.
I have come to the conclusion that watching you, Aron and Benjamin is like comfort food. Just love your world. God bless you all.

[@noragarcia252]

I haven't seen the whole video but coming back to it I need to make breakfast for my mother in law but your project sounds nice and Benjamin I think he said mama he is so adorable these are the best years.Love you all God bless you

[@lisawalters5482]

You and your young family are so blessed. Tfs. 💕💕💕

[@robinsheartsoillowman4679]

Its so nice to see Benjamin looking forward to seeing your plans for this area.

[@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane]

Aaahh, an empty slate... a gardener's dream.........how exciting! Can't wait to see what you guys do!

[@debbrad477]

Benjamin is adorable😍. What a monstrous project you have taken on, luckily you have the energy for it. Can't wait to see the end results🌻

[@YogiUToo]

I'm excited to follow along with the progress of this project! I have a similar project in my backyard. But I can't afford to hire anyone to help. And, I don't have lawn back there, it's all Creeping Charlie weeds that I'm having trouble getting rid of. Ugg AND my slope is much greater. You could sled down it, when it snows. BUT, I'm looking forward to watching the plant choices you make, Laura. THANK you, Aaron!!! You've got the ball rolling now! Yay!!!

[@wandakerstetter6352]

I’ve been waiting for this video ever since I seen the photo pop up on Instagram. I wasn’t disappointed with all the excitement and great ideas you have. I’m so excited to see the progress and the final results. Benjamin is getting so big, he’s such a handsome lil man. Once again Russell shows up to show off for the camera 📸 You have such a beautiful family. I would like to thank you and Aaron for sharing the journey with all of us ❤️😊

[@cathleencavanaugh2113]

Maybe it can go out to the universe the spare lot could be purchased ( by a group or individual) for a neighborhood park, with a gathering space for softball, baseball, soccer,football, play area,etc.for all the neighbor kids, grandkids, cousins (moms and dads too). Just s thought...

[@itsmeamanda01]

I can only imagine how many plants your going to put in there! I bet its going to look stunning!

[@francineh.7825]

I love the idea of a meandering pathway. What was so nice about the tour of your parent's property (in a previous video) was all the twists and turn and nooks and crannies. It is all the different layers that make up a beautiful garden. Will be so exciting to see this evolve!!

[@anngriffith7932]

Love that you're not overly planful about your approach and roll more intuitively. It brings you great results and lots more fun. And especially enjoy Aaron's sense of humor 🙂

[@zullylozano1840]

I’m super excited about this project, specially if it involves a stone wall.
Benjamin is so cute, I can’t help but smile every time I see him ❤️

[@mallory5755]

Benjamin is adorable!

[@patjones5723]

You just continue to amaze me in what you are able to do all by yourself...you rock!!!

[@rae1067]

Omg I'd kill for that grass. I have noting but dead crab grass, foxtails and weeds here. Also great video. Keeps me inspired that eventually things can and will get better.

[@jacdavis9]

Thanks for the close up of the Squash bugs - ugh! When you described the smell, wel....thanks for that. hahaha!

[@crissyandnoel]

I’m sure the previous owners of your property love watching your videos, to see what y’all have done with the place!

[@ms.m1631]

Greatful I found your YT channel...I learned so much from you and your energy brings so much positivity!Hello from Philippines😊

[@paulet990]

Oh my gosh, Benjamin is so sweet!

[@emilywestlund4527]

Benjamin is going to have so much fun growing up on that beautiful property! It’s like The Secret Garden 😍

[@peony7967]

I just watched this, can’t believe Benjamin grew so much in 3yrs and the property looks so beautiful in 3yrs. Congratulations Laura and Aaron!

[@sagy1019]

Aawww God bless your baby 👶🏻he is sooo cute 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Fursflowersnfoliage]

So excited to see the progress! Thank you for the Benjamin treat. he `s got teeth .awwww

[@pieceofcake9793]

Good morning, Miss Laura! 😘
Good morning, everyone! Satisfying moment starts at 5:06... 😍😅👍🏼

[@imagardner9596]

Hello Laura - I love how you're using more 'foliage' (regional dialect haha) color in your arrangements. It's a sign of a more mature gardener. Have you ever tried dividing your mature Hosta and inserting them in a container? It's stunning and the arrangements will over winter in your garage...so easy and doesn't cost anything. A little tip for your subscribers.

[@donnajohnson2597]

It’s amazing seeing this and knowing what everything looks like now and you also have purchased the property you mentioned.

[@antoinettestewart3417]

You are an inspiration for me. I am rising from my bed right now to tend to my garden. Thank you.

[@Ash-xx5zd]

I hope you do a full review from inception, to doodles, to trees removed, to grass removed, to ground leveled, fo planting and everything when the project is completely done. Would be amazingly informative on how to handle and execute such a large project. ...otherwise this video is soooo good. Love these vlog style random like videos! 😍 life is just amazing when you just getting things done and what was once enjoyed by you is being enjoyed by others. Even the landscaper sill use the sod for a home that needs it!!! Love it

[@loriakers4952]

That is exactly what I've been hoping for .

[@wind571evergreen]

Oh my goodness Benjamin is such a joy to see!!! ❤😊

[@mprado4177]

You are so cute and good-hearted! Your Benjamin couldn't be luckier to have you as his mom!! Good luck with all your exciting and beautiful projects, and thank you for being such an inspiration!

[@MMWolf3]

Great progress! Cant wait to see. Thanks Aaron for the push!🤗

[@MomDroogs]

Amazing! Boy....no grass grows under your feet!!...... :) Can't wait to see the completed walkway! It will be gorgeous as everything you do is!

[@tracispencer3764]

Can't wait to see the progress and finished result!
And little Benjamin is adorable!!

[@hayleywise7403]

Also, was I the only one cheering Benjamin on to say "Mama"? I'm not gonna lie if I'd heard it, I might have teared up!

[@meko2935]

You have a beautiful family, you do a great job. I need some of that energy you have 😃 but keep up the good work. I enjoy watching your videos.

[@medinasod2013]

How exciting I can't wait to go on the journey with you. So cute to see Benjamin and you guys!

[@sarahbutler9411]

Oh my goodness. What a great blank slate! I feel like for the statues between the maples it would be a really cute to do something like the 4 seasons statues similar to what your parents have in their garden that you showed in the garden tour as a way to incorporate something from your childhood in your own garden. It could even be taken a step further and plan the plants to have ones around each area to showcase the season, like a small lilac or spring bulbs around spring, summer annuals around summer, mums for around autumn, or like a red twig dogwood or holly around winter.
I'm super sentimental in my gardening choices and have a tendency to gravitate toward plants that have names of my family members or varieties that remind me of my parent's house. This year I planted a couple 'mary lou' dahlias since my mom's name is mary lou. I'm trying to get a hold of a plant with the name 'eleanor' for my daughter for next year.

[@robbingarcia4072]

Sarah Butler such a beautiful idea! I’m glad I’m not the only sentimental gardener!

[@margiemcpeak9304]

Sarah Butler, there's a rose with the name Eleanor. Good luck. 💜

[@purpleshoespurp3462]

Love me some big projects!! Means lots of great content for us.

[@rainydays1105]

Looking forward to seeing the progress of this area. Love seeing the whole family involved along with your friends inheriting the sod! 👒

[@chrisk7913]

Wow! Love a blank slate! Thanks for not making us wait to reveal the master plan. Might I suggest a little sitting area to enjoy God's beauty and a cup of coffee. Looking forward to watching it all unfold. Oh-my, I'm not sure what you're feeding Benjamin but he is growing so big and if possible cuter by the minute. Simply Precious!

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

I got to say I love how you guys get things done. Go for it. It’s going to be beautiful.

[@tru_passion2424]

Can't wait to see more on this project thanks for sharing

[@georgiahodson8755]

Love that whenever you have help its a "couple young men"!
Mrs. Robinson!!😏

[@l0shortyangel29]

Benjamin is so adorable!

[@margaret4372]

Can’t wait to see what you will do with this space. Change is good😉

[@joyceruserious7920]

I'm excited! And your property is amazing. You have a wonderful talent and a beautiful family. Sweet Benjamin and Russell too.

[@brendongross4119]

you know what would be great?!!!!!......a weeping willow that weeps all the way to the floor and then trimed so there are two "doorways" so that you can make a path way under the branches and also plant shade plants under the branches!.......... Wouldn't that be magical?!!!!:D

[@gailsorensen8726]

Wow this area has sure changed since you filmed this video! This randomly popped up on my feed and I’m so glad it did🌺

[@TheMag625]

OMG I can just see Benjamin!!!!!! He is so cute, bless him XXX

[@ericaolmos3446]

You have your work cut out for you..happy gardening 😁

[@robbingarcia4072]

How exciting!! I’m looking forward to watching you work your magic in this space!

[@gshweta1006]

Your videos are really great but I love it even more when I get to see little Benjamin.

[@faylynaddams7678]

He is such a cute baby! Makes me want to get myself knocked up again. Lol.

[@deborahlloyd8187]

Love your excitement ❤️ Big project can’t wait to see the process and end result.

[@rebeccabsomanybooks3558]

Precious child. So blessed.

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

It's exciting to be in at the get go! I'm sure it's going to be tedious, fun and beautiful with tons of great ideas for your followers. Thanks! Loved seeing and hearing that precious boy of yours. 🚜📝🌳🌿🍃💜

[@margaretpervier8357]

I love getting in on the beginning of projects! Do you plan to put in a bird bath? So exciting!😊❤️🐾

[@tulipgb5328]

It's going to be a beautiful project to watch. I love your ideas some of which I am using in a much smaller scale in my cottage garden here in Wales. I have just had delivered my 2nd urn which I am planting with purple fountain grass ☺❤ thank you so much for the inspiration can't wait for the next video 😇

[@lnwmelon]

Benjamin is so sweet!

[@KJayPlays]

Your enthusiasm and positive energy is such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing is with us :) Green Love 💚

[@MrsJackie1956]

Benjamin is adorable. You exhaust me just watching you. You have endless energy! Can't wait to see the end results.

[@marilynbaldwin2934]

You are so excited about your projects happy for me to see that! Especially excited to see Benjamin so cute! Anything you plant will be beautiful! Will be following this step by step.love the long videos i will be watching this again as I do your others!

[@MrsJWelton]

Ohhh, FUN!! My husband and I just did something similar this past summer, but on a smaller scale (about 200 sq.ft. It was hard work, but a lot of fun!!
I just found your page yesterday, subscribed, and have been enjoying all your videos! Thank you for sharing, and for all your valuable information!

[@pamketron]

Always exciting planning new areas. I’m sure this will be amazing and so pretty. Little areas throughout this huge space will be magical and whimsical. A bench or two to enjoy the view would be a nice touch. Benjamin is so adorable. Always fun to see him. Russell too! Hugs! 🤗🤗🤗

[@zacharywyatt296]

Laura a river trail would be amazing!!😀

[@thelmahall2593]

Awe, Benjamen is soo cute

[@brittanyg6796]

I think it would be fun if you made a video about looking for design inspiration for this area. Like do you travel to other gardens or use Pinterest or talk to your mom about things she did in her garden or clip pictures of landscapers from magazines, etc.

[@dixiebeckert6232]

Yay baby Benjamin!!!

[@shakinariley6272]

Benjamin is so adorable cute. Wonderful video

[@shirleysenkler781]

A path curving around hydrangeas and lilacs with beds of annuals and perennials would be gorgeous. That is what I'm working toward in my small yard, got a good start this year. Put hydrangeas and burning bush along the alley fence and widened the flower bed, will continue to widen and plant over the next few years.

[@sherik233]

Just the other day I was thinking that it would be cool if you and Aaron could buy the empty lot next to you so I am all for a huge flower garden!!! That would be so much fun (and work)!

[@brendabraun5522]

Looking forward to seeing all that you come up with. I know it will be great!!

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

Too funny. I just commented on another video that I thought a trip to the farmstand would be interesting and here you had already done it! And, it was interesting! Look forward to seeing this project progress!
