Hey Simona, I watch from my tv, so that may mess up your analytics. - The grass in California is marathon grass, which is watered and fertilized often, and is for sale.- When the rock is delivered, ask the delivery truck if they can slowly release the rock from the back of the truck as they drive down the driveway. So that you don't have to spread it out. It will be done by the delivery truck. It takes them less than 15 minutes to release 3 tons of rock.👌
Thank you for the tips! I'll have them do that!! 🙂👍🏾💜 I actually seen all that grass in Mohave valley Arizona. It’s the city that you come into right as you’re leaving out of California. It still might be that type of grass you said though. I’m gonna look that up! That entire town was filled with grass! It was so beautiful😍
For the gravel driveway throw cement down dry and when it gets wet it will solidify Get quickrette and Mix it with the gravel n spray with water when it dries it will be one unit 😊❤😊 no washing away concreted rocks So lay gravel Sprinkle quickrette spray n watch it solidify 😊❤😊
Wow! Thats such a super smart idea! I would definitely do that but those concrete bags are just so heavy for me by myself😭 I wish I had some help or I would do that! Thank you💜🙂
Please let’s us all join together and get our gifted sister too 100k she and her husband work so hard. They are so humble and loving people. I pray God’s blessings upon them. In Jesus mighty and powerful Name. Much Grace 🙏🌺💜🌹
Spray paint the rocks white or cream color to really make them show and plant some Shrubs along the back of those Rocks and put some soler lite on them I think it will look nice get some Evergreen shrubs that last all year round SOLAR SPOT LITES
Hi how are you? That was a huge water sprinkler system that farmers use when they have a lot of crop(acres) to water. They are using some sort of grass that works well in the heat. It was beautiful. I feel you on washing the car.
Well I need one of those sprinklers in my life!! I wonder how much they are!? When we get our well I really want to look into growing some beautiful grass around our house! Thank you!💜💜💜
Simona have been watching your videos for years and I've loved every single one of them Simona put a push cart in your truck so this way when you see a big bowl of all you have to do is roll it onto the push cart the push cart would take the weight you doing God's work girl you're doing it great stay blessed❤
Yes. Do not put any weed barrier down under rock you’ll be driving on. First, the weeds will be controlled by you driving on them. You can use weed killer for the ones that pop up. Second, the weed barrier will rip and start poking out of the rock. It looks terrible when it does that.
Love your videos. You are an inspiration to many. We moved to Kingman 3 years ago. we have an acre and a half. Landscaped it all on our own. much like you are doing. Would love to meet you sometime.
I love collecting rocks too. I collect river rocks and put them around my garden. Build some berms to hold water and get straw around the base of your trees to hold in moisture. The black landscape fabric is usually for landscaping around your house not driveways. The road you drive on constantly will keep weeds away. I live out in the NM desert.
Monsoon? How will your gates fare? I was thinking maybe a piece of rebar every few inches or so between the pallets,like from top,drive down to the dirt for more stability from high winds and a monsoon. You are doing such a great job and are so creative as well as strong. Looking forward to more projects.❤
2:48 -- that is a large irrigation sprinkler.... there is a lot of agriculture in the desert, believe it or not. They have to drill very deep, large wells and run pipes to these sprinkler devices. When the devices are pressurized with water, I believe they move themselves in a huge circular motion (the pole at the top left is where it attaches to the ground and probably the water source). It takes a lot of money and water to grow this kind of stuff (also requires a fair amount of power to run the well pump and pressurized the lines). They are probably growing some type of animal feed. There are dairies throughout Arizona, also in the desert, which require a huge amount of animal feed (alfalfa and other types of hay). The deep wells that are required to do this type of stuff drain deep water that will never be replenished or take tens of thousands of years to replenish (sometimes called "fossil water"). While there are shorterm gains from doing this type of operation (it creates jobs, some management of the land and tax revenue), it is destructive to the environment and likely a poor use of the resources.
@@simplysimona4562 You're welcome. If you'd like to see some videos about how they work, search "irrigation pivots" If you ever fly or look at satellite view in your maps and see big green circles, that's what those are. They use them a lot in the midwest too.
Hi beautiful. Your husband is a very busy hard worker just like you dear. Y’all such a beautiful hard working power couple. Us women always have our husband back we are team team ❤❤ love ya both
I love your spirit and I admire your hard work. Maybe you can roll them into some type of bag or plastic mat and hook it to the back of your truck and slowly drag them home.
They are tapped into water! You have to mix in with different dirt /soils. And plant. They may use a lot of fertilizer. But with a water system you can do some amazing things in the desert. lol 😂
Hi Simone. I'm in Calif. Mojave the high desert and I did the same thing to my back yard. I layed the black ground plastic down then had the rocks delivered and loaded in spots then I raked my entire yard leaving a1 1/5-2 inches high. You really don't need the black cloth. You also can have them let it out for you from their truck how you want it. Work it out girl and happy holidays🤎🦃
Be careful how you be pulling picking up heavy objects. Some of things you should wait till you're husband get back to do reason why i'm a lot older than you but you don't want to end up with honeyr, so please be careful God bless you guys are doing a lovely job around here. You continue and being blessed and we love you keep up the good work❤🙏🏾🙏🏾
I didn’t put any weed barrier down. Fingers crossed I’m not pulling stuff out later on. 😂 LOVE the white rocks. I’m like you, I have no shame pulling over on the side of the road 🤷🏽♀️😂

Really!!? It’s so pretty over there! Very green with trees! I was like what in the world is taking place over here and why is it so different than here but so close😍
Ask if you can be an affiliate,since you brought in business and you can get discount on product and offer discount maybe. You give free advertisements why not get something from that for your homestead. It seems like a win win.
Oh wow…what a silly question I asked😅. In the last vid your pathway looked very narrow, like you were only graveling a walkway. But in this vid I did hear you say you didn’t want the gravel to spill over past the white rocks along the side. So you are going to cover the entire driveway - my bad lol! That’s going to look very Beautiful!
@@simplysimona4562Its Grass, instead of seeds, it is already grown, it comes in rolls like carpet. They have it at Home Depot also any Nursey should have it too.
@@simplysimona4562 sod is grass grown for landscape it is cut in squares and laid down to form a lawn. there are perpartion done before the grass is laid the ground must be prep first.
you guys are doing great, an artistic perfect match couple but i worry about your diets. too many dangerous carbs/sugar + seed oils (canola/vegetable etc) and processed foods. terrible combination for us african americans for heart disease and diabetes. i recommend ketogenic or carnivore meal plans. it's life and health saving and simple, it saved mine. look em' up

Good morning. When you go out, take your dolly with a container. Roll the rock onto the dolly roll it ti the truck. So you only pick up rocks once.
I love collecting rocks too. I collect river rocks and put them around my garden. Build some berms to hold water and get straw around the base of your trees to hold in moisture.

Get the boulders with a dolly and then a ramp for the back of the truck or a ramp into the back seat floor.

Mohave is agriculture all over. Some great nurseries and farmers market. There's a Star Nursery in Lake Havasu too. In case you're close enough
I think you guys could use a small subcompact tractor with a bucket. Can move dirt, rocks, lift heavy objects around and out of truck bed.
Yes we could!😅
Hi Beautiful 😍 💕 and family 👪.. love 💘 all what you do especially the end. THANK YOU I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORDS FROM The Bible. ❤❤
Yess ma’am you’re doing the darn thing!! I’m relatively a newbie but I’m catching up! 🫶🏾🫶🏾

It's green because it has irrigation sprinklers.
So if we just get sprinklers, you think we could grow grass just like that? I’m honestly curious 😅🩷
I didn’t put any weed barrier down. Fingers crossed I’m not pulling stuff out later on. 😂 LOVE the white rocks. I’m like you, I have no shame pulling over on the side of the road 🤷🏽♀️😂
I agree; to Not put down the liner on the driveway. It will make you Nuts when gravel moves and you see the black liner. 😮

Purchase a hand truck and some cargo straps will help you move them bigger rock you want
That property has a water pipeline running into the ground. Tapping into the underground aquifer water.
Engine hoist. Will pick up the boulders.
We did not put anything down under the rocks. They disappeared. However, our property is in Illinois.
Your place and yard looks amazing amen no body God ❤❤
Thank you so much!!💕💕💕 Amen🙏🏾
Please do some research on zoysia grass it tolerates hot weather but will have to put down top soil before you sow the seeds or put sad down.
That’s some type of crop they’re growing lol😊
How to get big rocks in your truck by yourself... pickup truck crane and a heavy tarp at Harbor freight .
Thanks for the tip! Sounds like a great way to do it!
How about a hand truck dolly from Lowes or Home Depot to move the big rocks,
Do you think it would be advantageous to get a landscape wagon to haul things around the property?
I would love that!! I wonder how pricey those are? I’ll have to look into that! Thanks🙂🩷
Hey Simon, when are you putting them heavy rocks down you need to squat before you injure your lower back
Rent a skid steer from Home Depot to pick up the boulders and drive them to your place.
Get a hand cart to haul the rocks. Nice work.
Thank you!🩷

That grass might be for livestock. Idk lol, like the hay.

Almost there ❤
Throw grass seeds to get your like that.

Leave some big trash bags in your car to put down & keep floorboards clean; with your rock 'hounding'..shake out and put in door pocket or ?
If you put tar down you won’t have to worry about the rain washing anything away.
You can rent a compactor from Home Depot
Water is Life! 2:49
Absolutely!!🙌🏾
How about renting a skid steer loader they have them at home depot
Or you can get a Jimmy lift on your truck bed.
May I ask why u put the rocks inside your truck all the time instead of the bed lol?
Can you spray paint the rocks?
Maybe a sledge hammer to match the sizes you have now.
Heyy Queen! Go-Getter👍🏽👍🏽 are you going to line up your gravel pathway with the white rocks as well, to maybe keep the gravel in place?
