- Something as simple as a BIG BEAUTIFUL BED around a paver patio can be such a GAME CHANGER! In this video, I'm diving deep into some subtle details that you can learn to bring some serious outdoor living space to your backyard.
1) Remove Clutter
To have those backyard get-togethers you have to create space. I'm breaking down some easy ways to create space and get you thinking about where your outdoor living destinations are going to be.
2) Curves
To create some interest and bring your eye to certain areas of the backyard patio we went with curves. This draws your eye right over to a future fire pit area and a cozy little spot for a hammock.
3) Elevations
An existing bed was present with a tree so instead of working against the element why not enhance it? We decided to create a big beautiful landscaped bed to curve around the patio and bring some life to this boring space.

I have been thinking of transforming the front and back of my house like putting a patio. I don’t know how to start, what design, where can I get a kind, patient, understanding contractor. It is frustrating. I am glad I found your videos. I don’t know where to start.
@Marybel Alfonso. Everything starts with a design. Make sure you join my waitlist!!! I will be opening it up soon to new clients. The design is the KEY to saving time and money and eliminating that frustration!!! www.bobbykdesigns.com
I submitted my request in waiting list and excited. You are inspiration to many. Thank you
Ow I’m liking before watching 😂 I know it’s Gina be good.
I have been wanting to upgrade our landscaping for a few years now. I didn't know where to start until I found your website. I will continue to watch and get more ideas and I will definitely be in touch if you can help me. Thank you
@Logger Boutin that sounds awesome! I’m so glad your pulling the trigger on your yard! I got lots of new and really cool content coming.
I have a 23x 42 backyard- in a subdivision. Developors screwed up grading with backing neighbors. Even with a 7 ft fence) we see the neighbors from the waist up. Previous owners built a composite 10x30 rectangle deck and river rocked the rest where it dips. Trying to create the curves and privacy but would love a video working around these two issues
I enjoy watching all of your videos, they provide so much beneficial information ❤
Thank you.❤️
I love your videos which are mind-blowing and fantastic 😊
Thank you so much.❤️
I wish I can send you a few photos to help me with a DYI and some items for a professional. Great ideas and explanations.
Love the curve especially the soft side into the grass.
Hi Gay! So nice to hear from you! Yes, I think the curves really added to this backyard space. :)
Hi Bobby! Great to see you back🙂
Thank you Mary! Great to be back and I worked hard to up the game this year. Can’t wait to share!❤️
Love your easy to follow designs. I’m a Scientist turned landscape designer. But I’m a gardener at heart. I would say that adding “a bunch of topsoil” on top of most tree roots isn’t a great idea. But definitely depends on the tree. Thanks again for your ideas. I have 3 young boys and a I STRUGGLE to maintain my own large garden. But I can take pleasure in designing spaces for other! Oh WHOOPS I just read the other comment regarding the root issue and you clarified…sorry for the redundancy 🤦🏻♀️
So cool! Thank you for watching!!! Glad you found me
I'm new to you. You are knowledgeable and refreshing.
@Judith Miller. Thank you so much! Very sweet! I try. I'm looking forward to seeing you in the comments in the future! Take care.
Hello Bobby!
Curves in the landscaping are much more interesting than straight lines along the easements.
Hey Nancy! I’m excited to be sharing what I’ve been working on over the last three months. This is the first of many videos… Can’t wait to talk shop with you! ❤️
@@BobbyKDesigns Thank you!
I had my 15 palm trees hurricane trimmed, 2 oaks trimmed away from my house. Tree men hired got out the nasty sawgrass growing in 2 areas, along with some bromeliads that had sawtooth leaves on them. I still am dealing with tree roots in the walkways of the yard.
Gardening is always ongoing as you know.
@@nancywells5626 Lots of work! Sounds like your place is looking pretty awesome!
@@BobbyKDesigns I like keeping up with trimming the palm trees. I hate picking out the seedlings from the palm trees in the plant beds. It help keep down their debris too. They look so majestic after they have been trimmed.
I'm moving to Rocky Mount, NC area and will be opening a round barn inspired restaurant/event space where the outside spaces are spread out for hummingbird/butterfly gardens, rose gardens, native decorative bushes. Bonfire spots and such. I don't like straight lines LOL
Sounds gorgeous!!! If you need help with the design, you know who to call.👍🏼❤️
Hi Bob, greetings from Tokyo Japan. I just found your channel. Great videos, i was tired of pinrest because of superficialities, without specific professional information and pricings. I am very interested in seasonal plants, and landscaping for elderlies, wheel chair accessibility. Most of landscaping ideas are awesome but those entrances with stairs, steps on the corner, back yard with gravel and huge stones with plants in between are beautiful but not functional for disabled people to enjoy the gardens and the calmness of landscape. Hope you can create a video specifically for this type of people and show us solutions. Thanks a bunch, am a brand new subscriber, looking forward to binge watch all your vids. Tx. 👍😊
@Megg Tokyodelicious. Thank you so much for the comment and subscribing!!! I love the idea of showing what a space could look like for those who need wheelchair access. I will keep that in mind for some future designs where it may be a perfect fit! I look forward to hearing from you again on future videos!!!
I love this video! It's opened my mind. Implementing ASAP
That’s so great! Thank you for watching!!!❤️
This was great, thanks BobbyK!
@Hailey Harber. You're welcome! I'm glad you liked the video!
Can you lay out why you would cover the tree roots with soil? I have heard that compost or even mulch can be okay but that soil prevents roots from breathing.
Absolutely!!!! The tree roots had come out of the ground quite a bit and needed to be put back in the soil. I wouldn't recommend covering the main truck of the tree much at all but roots that are everywhere can 100% be in the ground.
I would make a wooden terrace in the space arround the entry doors.. It would the placecmake even nicer to relax...
Our backyard is "boring". Just watching two of your shows has given me some good starting places. We know what we want, but we need a plan.
Thank you!
@C Bryce. Thank you so much for the comment and watching! A plan is the best starting point. Gather your ideas, put them down, and then get to work. :)
@@BobbyKDesigns Thank you, yes.
👏👏👏 Thanks for the great tips and reinforcing how to utilize the space to maximum potential
You bet! Thank you for the comment!
Spot on!! I was guessing around $25-30,000 basing it around this area, Central Florida. Beautiful design, simple, tranquil and inviting. Even for a designer, can be paralyzing… what do I do with this? Because you’re hoping the customer is pleased with what you create; ultimately, rewarding seeing before and afters & happy customers!! Well done!!
Fernando!!! I believe all in this came in a little under $30k. Had a dumpster for the old kitchen, a few more pallets of sod needed, etc. I do love those before/after opportunities. Very rewarding! There will be quite a few of these videos this year including my backyard so stay tuned. Thank you for the comment. I really appreciate it!!!🔥🤜🏻🔥
@@BobbyKDesigns Looking forward to it!!! Be safe! 🙋🏾♂️
Great video! I've been wanting to create a planting border along my fence line (to move my cutting garden from containers to beds) and add a small curved deck or paver patio. The thought of moving my sprinkler heads and adding drip irrigation males me crazy, but I'm going to do it this fall. 🌿😁
@V Anderson. Thank you so much for the comment! I really appreciate it! Keep watching as I have lots of videos coming that will be of some real use for you with your project!!! :)
Hi bobby love the design but isn’t top soil to cover the roots bad for the tree? Are there other ways to elevate under a tree
@Sean Cabanez. Thank you for the question/comment! These roots were WAY above grade so burying them is actually a good thing to help keep the tree "ROOTED" (No Pun Intended) in the ground. For new plantings you don't want to "Bury" much if any of the truck. Take your fingers and carve out a small ring around the truck so that water can permeate down into the root ball. Thank you again for the comment and stay tuned for future videos with lots of cool designs and tips.
Great question for a northern yard which may have a couple evergreens and these if valuable ie.tall White Pine need a tough strong --something-- to keep those roots low. Then you have kept the height where you want it. I have thought wires covered with the perfect rock or mulch to control stuff and nesr driveway/parking..We once managed a live in Apt .building and all they budgeted was red mulch around their average looking shrubs at entrance. Is there a good low cost all- purpose mukch?
@@lorirarich1875 Buying from bulk bins at a larger material supply store is the most cost-effective way. You can even call into those places and have them deliver dump trucks worth. Typical range for mulch is going to be between $25-$35 per yard. I am a sucker for brown or black but I think that cedar even has a place with some designs.❤️
Hi Bobby
Don't you think the hammock would be better on the other side of the tree.
Create like a curved screen from the corner of the house (begin with a generous walkway first so the screen isn't hard up to the house) with some decorative herbs and butterfly attraction flowering plants. And Rose's for fragrance and beauty.
The hammock right outside the front door looks cluttered and on its own.
Hi Simon. I can definitely see that. I hear ya on the clutter. In reality, it’s not as tight of a space as it seems but your ideas sounds WAY BETTER! Beautiful!👍🏼
I've just discovered your channel and I LOVE IT!
@xoxopurebloodxoxo. Let's GO!!!! Thank you so much for your support!!
I hope you can help me with our yard
Great stuff Bobby. Really useful advice.
Thank you Sir! Got to get to your level!🔥
looks a lot better, however the rocks need to be partially buried and look like a ridge thats been there for a thousand years,i would use just one coloured rock also, i would add a garden is never ''finished'' it evolves over time and you can spend your whole life enjoying the changes you make as well as the beautiful and lovely smelling flowers, smell is an important component of a garden.........
@Michael Joncour. Absolutely! I love it when boulders are "carved" into elevations. Nice catch!
My yard is so mixed up and it needs more plants and I have to remove the deck from the house and do a smaller one and then make the area from the den to a nice living space for barbecuing and a fire pit. Can I send you some pictures of the yard so you can see my problems with the different levels and the need for privacy? Please let me know. 🙏🏼😘
Hang tight. I have an announcement coming that you’re gonna be very interested in. Stay tuned over the next couple of weeks. If you haven’t subscribed definitely do so.
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you Barbara!
Great video 👍. Keep posting.
I’m first time on your channel and I find very good and interesting.
@Renee NAND. I'm so glad you found me!!! Every Monday and Wednesday a new video comes out! This week's videos are SO PACKED with information to help you save time, money, and frustration!
Good job man.
Atlas! Thank you! I appreciate the comment.💪
Great video with such valuable info! Thanks!
Thank you so much! Made my day! Thank you for the comment!!!👍🏼
I recently found you on TH-cam.
First off I want to thank you for all your tips help and advice I hope to implement most if not all.
I hoping you have a suggestion that will help me.
I just bought a four square home that hasn't been violated other than vinyl siding. The previous owners were gardeners but had no clue about landscape design.
I do not have a backyard patio or deck out back ( front side covered porch that needs new flooring, that's in progress of repairs) but most of my yard is in the back side of house & Right now I don't have the budget to put in a paved patio .
I did find a inside/outside rug that has lots of color and I'm hoping to use it on the grass for a year or two ( I'm in MN, so seasonally).
Any suggestions on something cheap I could lay underneath the rug temporarily to prevent any patio furniture from going through the indoor outdoor rug.
It is essentially polyester and poly something ( woven plastic) so it's designed for patios or decks out side.
It was purchased at Walmart and was put next to the indoor/outdoor grass rugs, If that helps give you, general use idea.
I would greatly appreciate a TH-cam video about how to use indoor outdoor rugs on the grass. Yes I realize it will kill the grass, that's ok because I actually do want patio pavers in this spot down the road.
@Pat Bo. Hey there! In order for the rug to not sink and the furniture to be stable a compacted minus base would do the trick. I would separate the minus base with landscape fabric and possible add a little cushion of gravel on top. Without this, I think you're going to have trouble keeping a level/stable surface. Thank you for watching and the comment!
Will you show me a video on how to make a outside corner and inside corner. Also I was wanting to know can I leave a space every so many feet for drainage. Instead of using a drainage pipe. Save $$$. Can I use water bottles in middle of my retaining wall flower bed to bring my soil level up to save $$$ for soil.Asap please
@Pat L. Plant spacing depends of the bushes you select. They usually come with tags which are very helpful. I recommend used pvc for all downspouts to carry water away and if you have a real drainage issue dry creeks in the landscaping can be aesthetically pleasing and functional.
@@BobbyKDesigns I must have been to tired when I contacted you. Im building a retaining wall. In the middle can I use water bottles to help raise my soil level? Like you do when you're potting plants in a big flower pot. I do not have a drainage problem. My yard is on a slop. My retaining wall im using Allen stone blocks with a lip on the back will it be ok to leave a sone out on the bottom row evey so many feet will that be enough drainage? Im only going three stacks high. ASAP please
@@BobbyKDesigns Also the outside corner and inside corner I am speaking about is the corners of my outside corner on my retaining wall and inside corner
@@patl2699 you should hire someone. You don't explain yourself well and if you're going to demand answers ASAP you should pay for them.
@@yesterdayseyes go clear out your brain 🧠 im not demanding. I ask asap please an I didn't ask you for nothing.
Hi Sir Bobby, is me again, have you design a landscape for a uphill resort with trees and some swings like in Bali, Indonesia? I am encouraged by your design concept to go back designing and drawing again, Godbless
@Fast Tour Man TV. I've got a few hillside videos. Check those out and you'll gain some nice tips.
@@BobbyKDesigns okay im going check it out, Godbless
I have a tree root problem. If I wld add top soil, my understanding it might not live. Please explain or correct me. Confused
@Kim Lundquist. You don't want to bury to the point that you are burying the trunk but the roots in this video were WAY above grade and needed to be buried. The truck was still way above grade so no harm there. Thank you for watching and the comment!
How can my husband keep our flower beds edged neatly in a fast way?
@Laura Truth Seeker. The fastest way is a beautifully cut in natural edge. It will take some elbow grease but IMO it is HANDS DOWN the best looking edge. Best of all...it doesn't cost anything if you are a DIYer with a shovel.
Just like he said. Cut the edge in with a spade then maintain it with a string trimmer
Which software design is best to use for landscape design? I’m interested in doing the design side as well as the work. Thanks.
what computer software are you using
Pleas if u can help me witch program can I use to do landscape design .. thanks
UVision
It’s an improvement but there is no wow factor.
@Neo Theroness. Thank you for watching and the comment. I think as things get staged, plants get added, and it gets a little more love this place will look great. This was setting the homeowner up to have the basics and the space can evolve over time. I hope to see you again in the comments soon!
Would you be able to do the design without visiting people's lot?
Yes! Most of the designs I create are for people in other states.👍🏼
How do you do it, based on my pictures and measurements?

This is the part of my day I always enjoy!!! You are late to the party = P r o m o s m.
WHERE IS THE VIDEO ABOUT HOW TO DO CURVES? THAT IS WHAT YOU PROPOSED
@Tiki Tiki. I tried to pin point some tips in order to create the curves. The curves are visually shown with the camera and drone. If you were looking for a "How to Install Curves" type video I apologize. This is more for the person gathering visual ideas for their yard.
Burying the collar of a tree is not a good solution
@Brock Carson. I agree. We just buried the exposed roots. This tree was elevated quite a bit so no harm there.
You Talk too much....sorry, being honest. Blah blah blah, ohhh veda is soo cute. Too much, I didn't click on your like to hear about ur kid.
@Ella Pick. I agree. This one was a little too much commentary. I hope that you give me another chance as upcoming videos are going to be more dialed in. Thank you for the comment and compliment for my daughter! :)
