Early viewers remember when the walk from the parking to the door was narrow and lined with rose bushes that would snag y’all as you walked by and even ripped your plastic grocery bags. What an incredible transformation!!
Sure do !
I remember! 🤣
Yup, I almost forgot about that! Boy it came a long, long way! Gorgeous!!
Such a transformation since then!
And stole poor Benjamins security blanket when he was just a baby!
The thing is, we LOVE to see how things go, even though they're not completely done, because it reminds us, that everything is in flux. Even your thoughts about going with this or that stone/plant or whatever. It is so inspiring to see the whole flow of a build 🙏❤️💐 I can't wait to see your new seating area once the furniture arrives 😁🙏❤️
I totally agree. A sitting area right by the back door is a great idea. You know Laura’s good taste will reward us all with delight! Love projects that enhance living spaces! Happy Gardening!! 😊
Yes!!! I like seeing things in progress. Helps make it more true to real life.
I agree and it doesn’t have to be when the workers are their working. (as I’m sure some don’t want to be on camera). Even just still pictures of the progress, would be cool.
Yes! We learn just as much from the in betweens just a s much as from the final reveal. Please don't worry with buttoning up. We wanna see it all! ❤️
Don't you have any respect for boundaries or maybe some privacy on pers decisions!?
You know a project is a success when it looks like it has always been there. You have given me the courage to ripe out what I don't like and change it. Life is too short to "live with it". Thank you!!!
Totally agree! I had three Black Pearl Heuchera that have been struggling since last year, I ripped them out and removed my misery!
Thanks so much for sharing the update on the brick project even though you may have wanted to wait for the final "ta-da!" Although before-and-afters are really fun to see - it's actually more helpful to see real-world progress and mid-project decisions. Thanks for letting us in behind the curtain 😊
i literally said "wow" out loud. i know it's not done & you would rather wait until everything is buttoned up, but you guys... it looks amazing!! thanks for showing, we get so excited for you.
Yes yes yes to replicating the ironwork!
Looks fantastic! Bravo yet again!
I just love how Aaron encourages you to go for it. What a supportive partner he is. Its looking amazing.
Laura, you are so inspiring and your energy is sooooo infectious! Everyday, I wake up moving a little sluggishly. “Oh my, what has to be done today?” But after watching you, I’m raring to go! “Let’s go pick up pumpkins, straw bales and corn stalks! Let’s gather up the fall plants we bought, and let’s get the front entrance and boxes done!” I love my morning coffee but, honestly, you are even more energizing than coffee! Thank you for beginning our days so brightly.
I feel the same way!
You and your amazing team of builders did a fantastic job.
I love the formality, clean lines and structure your new walkways create. It is so soothing to the eye and soul.
Should you not be able to patch the concrete by the kitchen door, you could temporarily fill the patches with a thick layer of pea gravel or other stone. Keeps the mud out and is easy to scoop up.
Side walk to the kitchen door looks amazing and it's centered on the door. Absolutely do the iron work on the back door. It needs a little decorative interest next to the house right there.
I agree, that iron work is beautiful! I was wondering how well it would show against the black porch though.
It looks so much cleaner and I never thought it looked messy.
The iron ornate railing that you plan to put on the back steps to match the other steps will be very helpful. The children will find it safer and you will find it safer as you get older.
Love the stone patio area, great advise from your Mom. The stacked stone walls are such a beautiful contrast with the brick walkways.
I cant believe that's the same walkway where the lavender hedge was! It looks incredible!! Thank you for showing us and telling us the plans about using that same flagstone around the Hartley area. For some reason I feel excited about the projects as if it was my own home.
That tiny bit of orange on the stone adds interest
Love how you’ve integrated the brick and the flag stone. They both represent your garden design between formal and informal. The brick lays out the path while the flag stone invites you to stay. Plus love the idea of mirroring the iron railing from the front, it will bring it all together in the end. I can tell the excitement in your voice that you are happy somethings are being buttoned up. 😊
Love you and your family Laura, Thank you for the tour of the new brick walkway and stone walls! You chose a beautiful design. I've been a lurker for over five years, thought I should let you know that you, Aaron and all of your family are greatly appreciated and loved. Always in my prayers too.
Love the sidewalks…especially the slate retaining walls 😊 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love seeing your visions in progress - the before, during and after! Being able to see the whole process come full circle from beginning to end is so gratifying to see and watch. As much as we would like to have projects finished in an hour episode like on HGTV, 😂, as you say, this is real life!! Thank you for all you and Aaron share with us!
Wow, just beautiful. What a difference widening the walkway makes. Not just utilitarian, but, elevates the entire look. Add the stacked stone and it is stunning. What a beautiful frame for the gardens. And one project usually leads to another...who can relate to that? ☺☺☺☺
I could never appreciate a before and after of something unless I see it in progress... thanks for sharing!!
Samantha sighting at 10:14. lol aways fun when you see the family doing their own little cameo.
I absolutely love the stacked stone walls! So nice to have some continuity to tie everything together. Thanks so much for the update. I love it!
Continued blessings to you and your family. 🙏🏾 Your sense of beauty and order are a great asset to your designs. 👍🏾
The stone wall and area where your new furniture will be look great and natural. Love the brick too. I think the extra length at your doorstep is because you generally need a little space (to sidestep) when opening the door and carrying things in/out, so as not to fall off the edge. The door hinged side is never where you step. (Does that make sense? LOL!) LOVE the way everything is evolving on your property!
Here in Ohio our Maples are turning. Soooo beautiful. We call them "Sugar Maples" because they give us our Maple Syrup.
Im hoping next season we will have a lot more planting around the house like the good old days. Dont get more wrong i have LOVED watching the west and south gardens its been so exciting but i also miss all the old planting around the house projects especially the Hebe garden beds!
I miss the original gardens so much!
Patience is sooo hard when working with contractors. It’s obvious that all your patience and planning is paying off big time! We all appreciate the journey and love seeing a work in progress. Thanks for the inspiration!
Laura, I have to stop before you start planting, and say, it would be cool to do a video of viewers submitting their "rip the band-aid off" projects. I had to do that when we had our old septic replaced with a mound system and I FREAKED out watching hedges etc. get ripped out by heavy machinery. Now it is WOW, we have a gorgeous view as a result. Would love to submit a before and after.
Good morning, Laura, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸
Thanks for giving me the boot in my rear of enthusiasm! Now that Hurricane Ian 🌀 is behind us I cut back dangling branches, but now I need to "Rip off the band-aid" and just pull out several annuals that might or might not make it. Time to replace, replant and March On!
Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾👍
You must be Over-the-Moon with all the new brick and beautiful stacked walls 👍
....“that makes me happy “, the magic words when doing what you love!!!
Shade Porch : Consider Removing The Shade Porch And Its Concrete Steps.
Construct An Open Porch/Steps Right At The 'House Door' With The Same Brick, Before The Installation Of Custom Rails. The Shade Porch Is Seldom Used, If Ever ... Yet It Appears To Be Such A Huge Obstacle To Maneuver Around, Not To Mention The Cost To Fully Restore It. Give This Prime Designated Area Additional Space, For All Of Your Future Accommodations That You Have In Mind.
So thankful you decided to allow a pre-tour tour. What wonderful changes. I agree with plot10homestead that it would look really great if the back stairs were also brick to complete the look, and to have the railings which match the front stairs would be beautiful and tie things together so well. The stacked stone is incredible. Again, thank you so much for the update.
We want an October garden tour 😍
Continue On With A 'Flagstone Path' That Leads To Your Outdoor Fireplace, And Install A 'New Brick Patio' In That Seating Area.
Hi Laura and Aaron. The brick walkway looks amazing. There is something so pleasing, to my eye anyway, about the more limited palette of materials. The stack-stone walls look great too. I live in the Cotswolds, UK, and we use those everywhere! We call them drystone. And if I may, please don't sound apologetic for wanting the stone to sit the way you want, with the orange out of sight. You're the customer - do it how you want it! It's a real joy to see your garden develop.
WISHING YOU ALL A BEAUTIFUL DAY!
🌞🌻🌞
Back at ya!!!
this is my favorite change of all. It's stunning and make a huge difference visually. I've been watching since day one and what i love is that as you improve things, the place gets smaller and smaller. At first the wild mess seens huge, as you fix it it shrinks, but also becomes more functional. Love it!
I really enjoy the process more than just the finished project! It keeps me excited about what’s going on! And speaking of projects…LOVE the brick pathway and stacked stone wall! You can breathe! Won’t the kids look so cute sitting on the wall for pictures? Yay!🥰💛🌸
Enjoyed all, but favorite part was seeing Aaron and kidlet walking past in the far background!🤗😊💚💙
BEAUTIFUL! I looove the stacked stones. It truly is a reflection of your childhood home.
Love seeing the transformation over these last few years. I've been watching since you first moved into this house. So much has changed and look forward to seeing what it becomes. Thanks for bringing us along and all the inspiration you have given us.
It wood look so good to place another green mountain boxwood on the opposite of the stairs in front of the porch
That orange stone (overtime) every now and then, adds a beautiful dimension. It looks gorgeous next to green plants just like the patina of rust. If I were you, I would leave the orange as it. The transformation looks perfect, just like you always wanted.
I so appreciate how you are so informative and educate us on your thought process.
It is so helpful when we look at our own gardens
Absolutely love this back patio area. Wrought definitely is the go with the steps to complete the always. Always thought you should turn the back closed in porch into a small conservatory for plants or a mud room. Its gorgeous
Laura, I just had to say that hit me hard when u said u called ur mom. I felt that bc I lost my mom in 2016 to ovarian cancer, and I had to train myself not to call my mom whenever I just needed advice. Ur mom is so sweet, and I just love y’all’s close relationship. These memories y’all r making now will someday be the glue that holds ur heart together. Tyfs ur mom and ur life with us. Ur both a treasure!! ❤️
Oh I was so excited to see you posted a video on the bricks. I hurried to feed and take the dog out, got my coffee and snuggled in to see the changes. Love it and I’m so happy for you. Great choice you and Aaron had. Love the rock patio space as well. .
Looks beautiful, and I TOTALLY can relate to not liking change and panicking about making big ones! You're doing great! I adore your down to earth style. Like chatting with a friend.
The brick walkway looks so good! I think the stone patio area was the right call too. Also, loved the music in this video! I look forward to your videos everyday. My kiddos do too. They actually know your cats/kids by name and will say, "Hey there's Russell!" like they know him. Haha! Love your sweet family.
Quick Idea 💡: if you’re unable to get cement poured for the open areas by the kitchen, maybe a put in pea gravel? Might work as a cheap, temporary fix and help keep the mud at bay? I love seeing the changes to the garden! Who knew I could be so excited to see someone else’s space?! 😂
Wow first thing I thought when showing the sidewalk was “ you need a railing on those stairs”! Beautiful.
I always smile when you start your videos with "we're going to be planting a few things today" and you have like 50 plants!! Lol
Always fun and love seeing all the changes and growth coming together!! 🪴🍁
Yes me too. I've got a six pack of geraniums that I need to plant. That's enough for me these days. Especially when I've got to try to dig a hole in our dry soil. Not going to complain too much about that as lots of areas in the eastern states of Australia are flooding, have been flooding most of this year and with more to come apparently.
Oh how I love to see Laura happy and excited. I love the stacked stone wall. It just looks like its holding those beautiful plants in a hug
The brick walkway, stacked stone walls and patio look amazing! What a difference. You are such an inspiration to the GA community. 🌸🪴
Oh Laura, the brick walkway and rock wall is breath taking. The flagstone patio is defined and stunning, can't wait to see the area when the furniture arrives. I know when you plant in the areas (containing the orange color) you will probably not notice the color. Just a suggestion: Take a look at the back door, if you remove the cone shape boxwood and the smaller one on the other side. You can put planters on both sides filled with things you enjoy or the lovely tree not potted.
I hope there is a before and after shots after these new installation of bricks and new beds..its a total inspo for everyone...
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day
Beautiful as always! Can't wait to see the new outdoor furniture... YES YES YES for the Ironwork!
Everything looks phenomenal!!!
Just beautiful Laura! Thank you for bringing me along!
Love the walkway and the stacked stone walls! It's so beautiful!!!!
Yes on the flagstone patio!!
Everything on this property is just amazing!
Just beautiful as usual. Have a safe and beautiful weekend ahead.
The stacked stone is so gorgeous!❤️
The transformation leaves me speechless! Just stunning....only sad sad is the helebores and the boxwood. Loved the whimsy of that little bed !
Loving the widened walkways! A good reminder for all of us who use mobility aids and for aging family members. Wider, flat walkways are easier for canes, walkers, and wheelchairs, too. 🦽
brick walkway looks awesome.... isn't it great to have a mom to bounce ideas off.
The stacked rock wall is so stunning! Great job!
Love that stacked stone, walkway opens up the entrance nicely.
Oh my!..it all looking beautiful!..those lanterns are nice!
This was great to see that starting to transform!! Love the stone
Thank you guys so amazing!!!! God bless!
Thank you for showing it. Looks beautiful and the stone patio is so nice .
Wow! The bricks and stone look soooooo good! Thanks for showing us the progress.
EVERY THING COMES IN TIME. BUT, IT LOOKS AMAZING . IT IS SO RELAXING JUST TO SEE IT COME TOGETHER. IT LOOKS EASY WHEN YOU WATCH SOMEONE ELSE DO IT. BUT, BOY ITS HARD WORK IN A GARDEN. I ENJOY YOUR VIDEO'S SO MUCH!!!
Love the brick and the rock together . Great job. Thanks for the update

It looks beautiful Laura.🍁
The walkway looks just beautiful
Love love love the new brick and stack stone walkway ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love it😃and the stone walls are the touch that was needed, enjoy😊
Beautiful Laura thank you
That phlox is such a power statement plant. I love the vibrant colors.
The new brick walkways are lovely! I'm a little surprised that you didn't remove the concrete steps and put in brick, to complete the look. (the black iron railing would look amazing on brick steps)
They could clad the concrete in the stone. That's what we did to our porch when we put in a stone walkway
How do you keep everything so fresh and pristine always?? That’s a gift!!! ❤❤❤
Good morning Garden Answer. Everything looks lovely today. Have a wonderful Monday. 😊😊
It looks beautiful! I've been so excited to see how this turned out!!
I love the contrast with the two different textures❤️
Love the new walkway! I see why you’re so excited.
It's looking beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
