I cannot express how much I love your videos!!! It is like Christmas when a new one comes out. I live on Cape Cod, so I find all your plantings very relatable. I love to DIY around our .6 acre lot, and you and your husband are so inspiring for my own garden. Like you, we love moving rocks and have a local place nearby as well. We move them in our GMC truck :) Keep up the great work and please keep sharing - I watch and rewatch all the time. Take care, and enjoy that beautiful garden.
Oh my, what a lovely comment, thank you so much! It's so great to connect with like-minded DIYers. Cape Cod is so beautiful and we try to visit there when we can (we used to camp up that way when our children were young). Although we are a devoted Ford family, we don't discriminate against any truck. If it can haul, it's good with us! LOL : )
Absolutely gorgeous! You guys certainly do have a special touch! I hope you take the time to sit and enjoy it after all that hard work!👍
Thank you so much! We are planning to enjoy it with our grandbabies this weekend as they are staying with us!
Another beautiful, well-thought out design.
I love that you showed the before and after at the end of the video.
The frog pond area really filled-in!
Hard work, huge impact.
Aww thanks so much!!
great job, you really motivated and inspired me to get back to work in my garden. Thank you
I absolutely love it! It is so calm and it beckons you to follow the path to see where it takes you!
So glad you like it! Thank you so much!
Как же вы любите эти камни!! Дрянь мощнейшая!
Have a good day! : )
Thanks for the great explanation about that Hunter valve!
Thank you...I was cracking up through the whole thing lol.
Such a beautiful garden everything looks great ❤

Stunning! You two did a beautiful job!
Thank you so much 😊🙏
Such a beautiful oasis 🥰
We agree! Thank you so much!!!
Love the way you’ve positioned all the plants. Looks great!
So glad you like it, thanks so much!
How lovely!!! I enjoy your garden rooms and videos so much. And the two of you are adorable!!!
Aww thanks, that's very sweet! So glad you are enjoying the videos.
What a beautiful garden hallway! This was really fun to watch and learn. Thank you both for sharing your talents!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!!
What a beautiful and calming area you've created!!!thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much!!
Beautiful! Love the restrained use of color!! ❤️
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful space!😍 Thanks for all the great ideas. I really like the frog 🐸 pond.
Thank you! 😊 Yes, we are also enjoying our little frog pond. It's such a fun space : )
It looks beautiful. I’m a Texas Master Gardener, I would like to share a suggestion to help out with future projects. We recommend newspaper and cardboard. I noticed you used a layer of newspaper. Bravo! However, I was taught to use approximately 10 layers of newspaper or one two layers of cardboard. I wet the layers with the water hose to hold them down. It gives you more layers to keep the grass from growing back later. The best part of it, it’s biodegradable. It helps send nutrients to the soil. Again, it looks great! Happy Gardening! 😊👍🌿
Thank you so much and tips are always appreciated! I was taught that too 20 years ago but have found that many layers to be unnecessary. One to two sheets works great in my garden and suppresses all sod within 30 days. All of my beds in recent years have been built right on grass (no dig/till methods) so I'm very experienced (been gardening for 30 years). I imagine that each garden is different and this would be great advice for non-abundant planters. I cover every square inch of my soil with a plant if I can lol.
@@planttasticcookinggardenin1561 Thank you for your response. Here in Texas, with an almost year round growing season, and turf grasses that grow from rhizomes and stolons, it can be a challenge. Congratulations to your beautiful and serene garden. 😊
Beautiful garden design! That was a lot of work but wow what a regarding view! Enjoy!
Aww thanks so much!! So glad you like it!
This is amazing what y’all got done . Nicole It is a wonderful area in your garden❤️ ❤️ ❤️

What a great video showing the makeover with rocks, making new beds and fixing sprinklers and showing how they function.
Thank you so much 😊🙏!
It turned out beautifully!.Very well put together and looks so peaceful.
Thank you so much!
Looks fabulous! You have a great design eye. Love all of the rock and stone path. Good balance of structural and natural shapes . Loving your channel 🥰
Thank you so much 😀 We are so glad you are enjoying our videos!
Nice work!
Thanks you!!
Beautiful, great job! I can see the slate walkway forming a "Y"- curving to the right and left inviting one to either enter the fireplace area, OR leading to a meditation bench to observe the fountain & pond. Kudos to you and hubby!
Thank you so much! Yes, curving both ways would work!😍
Really enjoyed this…what a wonderful team y’all are
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much!!
This is so beautiful!!!! Love 💕 your ideas 💡!!!
So glad! Thank you so much!! : )
I’m so impressed with your design garden space and hard work! Music nice choice! Videography very nice! Paradise!
Thank you so much! : ) I see you have a channel, I can't wait to look through your videos! : )
@@planttasticcookinggardenin1561 thanks for taking a peak ! It’s a busy time this gardening season but so glad to find your channel!
I remember the time when i was rolling rocks in my garden i could not move the next morning that my hubby took me to the ER, however your hardwork that you're doing in your garden looks amazing!
Thanks for sharing! So sorry you ended up in the ER!!
Utterly beautiful yard and landscaping design. Love this. I'm glad I found your channel.
Thank you so much and welcome!!
So beautiful 😁💚
Thank you! 😊
Looks beautiful! Lucky you’ve got help with heavy items!👍❤️
Thank you! 😊 A gardening partner is always nice : )

Awesome job. Looks great.
Thank you!! : )
Very nice
Perfection, Love it.
Aww thank you!! : )
Lots of hard work and great team work and so inspiring
Thank you! We are lucky to have a great family that really does work as a team!
It’s lovely. A few areas of just grass are also nice, gives your eyes places to rest. You both have an amazing eye for design and obviously green thumbs. Enjoy your piece of heaven.
Thanks so much! Yes, it’s nice aesthetically but sooo chemical dependent unfortunately!
I'm like previous comments: I love your sense of design. Y'all are excellent and have great senses of humor. Such beautiful style. See you in the next one. Thanks.
Thank you so much!! : )
Exceptional design and execution of a lovely garden path. Well done. 👍
Thank you so much!! : )
I hope you two are okay because I wish you were still making videos! Enjoyed this very much.
Thanks so much! We are good and hope to be making videos again soon. We took a rest and are working hard on a gardening book so there are good things to come.
I just discovered your video blog and enjoyed watching you make over your hallway garden and absolutely love it! I love the Japanese grasses and stone! I intend to go back and watch your beginning videos to learn more about your beautiful garden and home. Thanks for doing the hard work for our enjoyment to watch and for inspiration!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Looks awesome, I 💕 flagstone walkways, will you make a video when you sink them into the grass , I have never watched the process, thank you 🙏 for showing the progress
Thank you so much! I hadn't thought of it but surely could.
That would be an excellent video to watch!!
I would love to see the video of you sinking the flagstones into grass also. Please do make the video.
I love everything about this!!
Thank you so much Kimm!
Debbie here. Your garden is very relaxing with the sound of running water.
Thank you Debbie! I agree, It's the first thing I do every morning (turning the fountains on, we can't run them at night because our winds can remove the water quickly sometimes and you just never know).
I love your beautiful garden! Y'all are so cute!
Aww thanks 🙏!
Beautiful!
Thank you! : )
Its all beautiful! For me id keep the grass hallway as the flat rocks bring a heavyness. Nice work!
Thank you! Design choices are definitely subjective, that’s why there is no right or wrong. We love the flagstone but it doesn’t sound right for you. It’s what i love about design, you can go in so many different directions.
Enjoyed your garden and hope all goes well with you.
Thank you! You too!
Very hard work= beautiful result.
Love that lime grass. Just watched the end again as I usually watch twice. Your understanding of gardening is so pretty, an oasis around every corner. Black mulch contrast makes all elements pop especially the colors in the rock.
I love touring your garden.❤
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! 😍
Beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊
BEAUTIFUL! I was looking for some inspirations and your video came up. You guys did an AWESOME job! I love everything about it. Looking forward to a garden tour this year. Would love to see how everything is coming along.
Aww thank you so much! We will definitely have more garden videos this year. Thanks for stopping by, we really appreciate it and your kind words.
I really enjoy all of your videos* I love your projects and want to try them all in my own garden. I can't wait to see your greenhouse when you get it. Love the shape of the flagstone * never saw it shaped that way and I love it. You are truly inspiring*
Aww thanks 🙏!! I’m always looking for something different each year so we go to different places until we see something that inspires us. So glad you like it!
I like your garden, so peaceful looking.
Oh thank you, I’m sorry I thought you weren’t happy with it. Sorry if I misread your last comment.
I just found your channel and I’m so glad I did! Love your garden 😍
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you so much for sharing♥️
You are welcome 🙏 and thanks for stopping by!
Thank you so much for the how to videos... so very beautiful... ❤❤❤
Glad you like them! Thank you!!
First-time viewer and I really like your landscape. So many tucked away seating areas. Now I'm going to check out your previous videos.
Awesome! Thank you!
Looks great! I too use newspaper in my gardens (I live in the Appalachian Mountains, TN/NC border), works so well. The rocks look so good, plantings look great, etc. Well done y’all! Happy to have just discovered your channel, thanks the videos, fun to watch!
Thank you!! Yes, newspaper is the best, so quick! Welcome, glad you found us!!😃
You have a great eye for garden design I must say! I really love that you use rocks and boulders, grasses and foliage plants along with the flowering plants! I wish I had more time (or that I could clone myself) to watch your videos, I already have many vlogs that I watch plus I have so much to do in regards to gardening and housekeeping! Your gardens are really well done, love it!!!!
Thank you very much! Yes, there are so many good vloggers out there. I totally understand since I've had to pick and choose the ones that are closest to my heart and gardening goals also. We are all so busy these days!
So much hard work! And it turned out BEAUTIFUL 😊
Thank you so much! 😊
@@planttasticcookinggardenin1561 greetings from Germany from Meggi
@@meggiwick7601 Greetings Meggi from New Jersey, USA! So glad you stopped by!!
Nice work! It turned out beautifully! I used to live in Pennsylvania and the humidity in the summer is a force to be reckoned with. I can’t believe how much you guys got done in only five days.
Thank you!! Yes, it’s the humidity here that takes it out of you. Today the humidity is 74 percent and it feels like a sauna even though the temperatures have dropped into the 80’s.
My backyard has this layout almost exactly, covered porch with a fence line and a narrow pathway with garden and a fire pit area leading to it. So needless to say I'm subscribed now. Happy gardening
Thanks for subbing! Your backyard sounds perfect 😉
Beautiful 😍
Thank you! 😊
Excellent. Thank you !
Glad you liked it! Thank you!
Very pretty garden. ;-)
Thank you so much!
So beautiful
Thank you so much!
I just found your channel and really enjoyed your content and format!! I will continue to watch. Your yard is beautiful!!❤️❤️
Thank you so much and welcome!
Love it!
Thank you!
Job well done! Japanese Forest Grass is my favorite too and I repeat it all around my shady backyard. I am glad to see Karly Rose or Hamelin Grass because I just bought Hamelin as a small plant and wasn't sure exactly how it would look. I was also debating Karley Rose so if its that glad to see a bigger one too!
Thank you!! It is such a beautiful grass. I wish more nurseries supplied it and at a reasonable price. I'm so sorry that I don't know which grass it is. Every time I look at them I think one minute it's Hameln and the next minute Karley rose. I will have to ask my nursery lol.
Very nice👍👍👍👍👏😊
Thank you! 🙏🙏😀
Вы волшебники!!!
Thank you!!
Wow!! So much work, but it turned out so beautiful.
Thank you 🙏!!
Love your channel. Just found you yesterday! What a lovely sanctuary you have created. Thanks for sharing! Hubs and I are in our mid sixties. We are zone 6b also, in Illinois. Grandparents to 6. We are DIY'ers also. Really love this.
Thank you so much! It's always good to meet fellow DIY'ers!
Great job guys ✅👍🏼🌱 Chip 🌱 CHIPS WORLD 👋🏼
Thanks so much!! Happy Gardening Chip!
First time on this channel. I knew by their accents they were from Philly area. Wawa soft pretzels with mustard confirmed it.
Welcome!
Felicitaciones han trabajado en equipo y lograron un paraíso...a disfrutarlo...saludos desde Uruguay
¡Muchas gracias! ¡Qué tengas un lindo día!
What a fun make over - you guys did a fabulous job. I’m new to your channel and love your yard. I’m about to enjoy some of your other videos. If you don’t have one yet, I’d love to see a drone view of your yard!!! Of course I’d have to find some “youngster” to do that!!! Happy gardening.
Welcome!! Thank you so much! I'm a professional photographer but do not own a drone. Yes, I would need a youngster because I would crash it into a tree for sure lol.
Happy gardening to you too!!
I just found your channel 😊 your gardens are gorgeous 😊😊😊😊
Thanks and welcome!! : )
I like to use black mulch too. My house came with red mulch which I am slowly replacing. I like your evergreens along the fence line.
Thanks! I love the black mulch because it looks like soil and just blends in. I feel for you…red mulch was very popular a few years back in our area too.
Nice work, looks good. Those swing out and up extensions off your main line for irrigation is so you can get your head exactly even with the grass height. There's different types of heads and it would be almost impossible to put your main line exactly at the depth needed and even if you did manage it with those heads you'd never be able to switch to a different style and keep it level without ripping it all out.....just saying.
Thanks Roy! 😀
Very nice. I like your Channel
Thank you
The area looks very nice. The only thing I would suggest is you need to 'plant' your boulders.. in nature when you see a boulder it generally sits below ground level from years of soil settling, dirt piling around, etc. Ask any good landscaper.. you will notice an immediate different in your landscape. Keep up the good videos..
Thanks for the tips! This is wonderful advice for hard or clay soils for sure. The reason we don't plant our boulders is that they plant themselves quite quickly here. Our soil is very sandy and we flood quite a bit from our high water table and raging storms. Those boulders will disappear before we know it. I'm always unearthing our rocks.
@@planttasticcookinggardenin1561 Oh, where are you? Guess I've always had the harder soil. But even when I lived in AZ we planted them.. thanks.
@@estherclotz176 We are in southern New Jersey. Our dry creek bed with the very light fieldstone has only been there one year and the stones are already too low to effectively put mulch around for the weeds. I'm already going to have to dig them up. You can't pick them up by hand as they are already buried in the the soil (and that's on landscape fabric!!).
AZ probably doesn't have the leaf litter (we take 100 barrels of debris from our yard every six months) or the rain. I think AZ average rain is between 8"-19" of rain a year. We get 46 inches of rain on average. Big difference! Plus our garden can be under a foot of water for sometimes weeks and our plants have to adapt to being aquatic at times. We always plant one inch above the soil surface and build our gardens up. Every garden is different, that is why there are no absolutes.
Looking really beautiful! Can I suggest that on your pathway area around the flagstones you placed, to use a perennial ground cover clover. They are wonderful. It is a beautiful medium to dark green. It stays fairly low and only require mowing a few times a year. In fall, you can let it flower to help reseed itself and attract tons of Beneficial's. It suppresses weeds while adding lots of nitrogen to your soil. It doesn't attract your grub worms, so it deters moles from invading. It is soft under your feet and much more lol. Depending on your area, I believe you can get white or red clover. Highly recommend it as it requires very little maintenance.
Thank you so much!! Oh this is such good information! Is it aggressive about spreading into the surrounding beds? I’ve had such a problem with the regular weed clover this year and had no choice but to treat my lawn for it. I was considering star creeper as that really seems to like my soil and I love how it blooms most of the summer.
謝謝~♡♡♡♡♡
Thank you! : )
It looks fantastic! I'm right there with you with moving rock, soil and then planting, (by myself) I've been at it all season and still not done. lol If you plan on adding manure you may not have to dig those stones in. I know after many years I've had to raise some of my pathway stones.
Thank you so much! I agree with you on digging the stones in. Our sandy soil and rains just cause them to suck down into the earth. We have so much stone on our property now that I'm forever unearthing them. So glad to meet so many like-minded gardeners. lol Are we ever done??
Assalamu alaikum good garden friend
So kind of you! Thank you!!
😂😂😂😂 Ray all us single woman thank you for that lesson, on heads shafts, and lubrication. Not to get rid of the old ones but clean em out
You win the award for the most hilarious comment!! : )
😍 hermoso 🌿🌺👍👌🙏
Thank you Zully!
LOL I am not sure where my comment went for this video. As I was typing. A different video of your started playing, and I think it posted there. If you read a comment from me and it does not match that video, you will know what happened. I hope it did not delete. Love your garden rooms and you guys are fantastic. I’m learning a lot. Thank you!
Thanks so much Marti! It wasn't deleted and is on the Tropical storm Fay video lol.
White fountain grass is so beautiful BUT... RESEEDING BRINGS SUPRISE NEW PLANTS WHERE YOU DIDN'T PLANT
This can be true for ALL happy plants that aren’t sterile! It’s best to find out what is invasive in your area. What’s invasive in your garden, may not be invasive in mine 🙏😃
Thanks for stopping by!!
