i totally agree, he is also in my opinion, the youtuber ive seen that makes you feel like an actual friend talking to you, and not just "celeb" pandering to you are talking down to you
I suggest Japanese cherry trees on both sides all the way down to create an archway that has a very beautiful bloom once a year in May I believe. Like in Washington DC
I would say expand the driveway by 5 ft on both sides and then put solar lamps going down the driveway. Then finally, finish by hydroseeding and maybe planting some bushes or flowers. I think that would look nice.
This sounds like a really good idea to do. Maybe even planting some native fruit/nut trees, it'll make a good tradition later on in the years to collect them
you should plant a small orchard of some kind. either Cherry trees, or Peaches, Apples, etc. Also, when you start to bushhog, I'd recommend getting a Kubota. American Made, Japanese, very reliable. Would do great in pull your bushhog, my pawpaw uses one, and if you decide a different brand, my boss who I do lawnmowing and landscaping with, uses this Korean brand "Kioti" does the job as well.
Hubbie is an arborist, he said a shrub(whatever is best for that kind of soil, environment, etc) could be a good choice for lining the driveway. They are virtually unkillable, thrive on their own for the most part and would keep the weeds from growing out into the 20 ft area
Plant a native seed mix from roundstone native seeds. You can mow it once a year to control trees etc. Minimal maintenance and you can get the flowers and stuff in the mix.
I'm not sure what plants are native to that part of NC, but your local extension office or DNR should have some ideasfor native plants that you could put along the driveway to keep it looking nice and encourage wildlife.
Find someone local with a tractor and tiller they can rip that land in a day. Hydro seed it all up to 5 ft from the roadway and use the wild flower mix on that area. Similar to how States deal with roadways.
Wild Flowers are weeds... Don't worry about it. Don't push out the wild life. Do decide where you want to have a safe path for driving/walking, and fill that in.
My husband and I are actually from a town in Virginia very close to Eden and seeing your videos really makes me miss my home! My husband is military and we haven't been to our hometown in 2 years, but hoping to go back in April 2024. I keep telling him how crazy it would be too run into you guys at cookout or something 😂
24:00 I think you need an arch, a stone arch and gate leading up close to the house, something with your name on it "Cartoonz" would be epic, but at least a stone or castle arch... A moat would be sick lol
small pines for christmas lighting or even just for decor. Not full size pines, but the ones that only get 8 to 12 feet tall. Family and friends will get a kick out of it.
I'm glad your wrist is healing well. I had get major surgery on mine in August and while it's not gonna be like it was, through more healing time and keeping up with excercises, things will be cool going forward. Thanks for sharing your dream home building journey with us. I always appreciate these uploads. Be well!
Thanks for doing this Lukie. I know you are busy with your other channels and this one probably doesn't produce anywhere near what those do, but just the opportunity to see you more behind the scenes and have you share a little bit of your life is amazing. You're a very entertaining guy :) Keep doing what you do and please encourage Genay to get on here and do her thing too. Would love to see more of her!
My dad worked with cement and we made 3 different patios and 2 different front walkways in all of the houses we owned as I grew up. We always did small cement segments so if something cracked, we could repair more cheaply. We also did 1 underground pool and a retaining wall.
If u are worried about the wild flowers encroaching the drive then line the drive eith large crush rock about 1 foot off and plant wildflowers. With as much as you are going to plant you can also get a tax write off for conservation and attracting butterflies and other insects that are healthy for the ecology , cuts down on mowing snd maintenance and looks really pretty too.
Damn. Genay better watch out for Toonz. Ever since he got that electric bike, he's been wanting to jump off of any sort of inclination he finds on the ground. 14:19 Favorite part of today's video btw
Honestly a very cheap alternative for the sides of the driveway would be a thick layer of wood chips. Most arborists or tree companies have know where to dump there chips and have to pay to get rid of them. So you could possibly get all those loads of chips for free. If you just ask. And because you are helping them out. They will most likely bring a machine to spread them out for you… you can walk on them and drive over them. Plus they keep the weeds out if you keep a thick layer. Just an idea. Keep up the good work you guys!
decomposed granite for the front of that big garage would be perfect and its cheap id get that to help prevent water from pooling up and provide a flat surface for lower cars and they have several color options and treated and sealing options
That was really interesting seeing how they cleared the sides of the drive. Really impressive equipment. Dips and whoops are pretty standard... but those really deep holes might just need some shovelling over time. Grading the entire property sounds pretty pricey
I agree with those saying cherry blossoms on the side of the drive, but also, you may want to consider something like white clover for the ground level as it is inexpensive, covers well, and is very low maintenance as clover does not grow very tall.
I love seeing these updates. I didn't expect the driveway mulching to be done so fast, but I do think it looks nice & is smart. 28:10 caught my eye, something about the green in the trees & the orange ish red land on the right.💙
About those gofer holes... It would be a lot of work but you could go around and place those small field flags at the holes for safety. Over the seasons of course...
id personally go with creeping thyme or moss for the sides of the driveway low upkeep easy to manage and will keep the weed at bay. creeping thyme is also a perennial so it will come back every year no need to replant they also love sun and are Drout resistant.
Solar lights all the way from the road to the house and garage would be nice. Don’t know what to plant, but you can buy retro movies lighted signs, like “get it at porkys” or “Als Diner” from happy days 😂😂
With a place like that I would have to say "video games? what video games?" I would constantly be outside doing something. Looks great though, everyone is doing an amazing work. Can't wait till it's all done.
Its been a year or more since your first video and I watched it when it all started and I am so happy for you guys and how far it has come since, seeing you guys tearing down the house and building this new one and what not, it is looking really good right now, but will look even better in march/april, when you hopefully move in.
I accidentally got my bf super invested into yall and we are both desperate to see how the house is coming along! We miss you, we hope you had an amazing Christmas and start to the new year!!! ... NOW GIB US NEW VIDO OF HOME!!!!
Sure, having trees along the road would be great for aesthetics. Just be aware of the potential of falling branches, especially large ones after a heavy rain or storm, which would become obstacles for vehicles & dangerous for your family. You may consider to plant these trees at a reasonable distance (perpendicular to the road) away from the road to avoid such issues. All the best brother!
I just keep thinking about a stream with fountains every 20-25 ft along the back edges of the drive. That would serve as a hard line against the weedy foliage you're looking to keep out, and it would be a fine water feature. You could get it programmed to lead the way as you go up the drive, and maybe colored lights...
Can we get a plug for this channel on the gaming channel. I’m not one for IRL content, yet I’ve loved every video I’ve watched and more people need to see the beard 💪
The area you wanted to grow and are hardy you should try Apples are the hardiest of all the fruit trees so they are suited to most areas and localities and also useful for genay 😊
An entire driveway of Apple Trees would suck. Imagine the dents to cars or even skulls during ripening lol! Though a small orchard would be neat, might have to Post the land hunting laws pending.
Before you plant anything, I do think you should push another 10 feet on the right side (when you're coming in the driveway) of clearing, and then expand your driveway 10 feet wider. Makes it easier to pass vehicles going in and out. Then plant whatever you plan.
Yes I am so excited to see how far this is coming along but I really can't wait to see it when it's done I am so excited y'all and u and genay would make some adorable babies just saying Nice job editor keeping up the traditional tag line 🎉🎉
Cartoonz thanks for all the great videos over the years and keeping me in high spirits and keep up the good work man, god bless you man, I can just relate to these videos, me and my family were building a house on some land but had to sell before we could finish it but everything is fine, god bless you man for getting me out of some hard spots with the good laughs, love ya man and I'm goanna keep praying for ya wrist god bless man.
Depending on when this was recorded, last night here it was around 40, high today was 48 with low winds. Two days ago it was below freezing at night. lol
I just found your second channel. Only because of your comment that yoy went to the range day on demo's video. Excited to see all your content over here! Loving your lethal company run
This build is awesome, honestly a little extended on the driveway later for friends to come and go without riding the side would be cool, however looking up a directory or talking to an expert on the plant side of it would be awesome, also i like how inconspicuous your driveway looks, and the entrance cause it aint nobody's business to visit you, besides friends and family and colleagues that you allow over, so I'd make it blend in so people mind there buisness just wanna watch out for ya bud, because some fans are dumb and think its okay to come say hello, maybe get some cameras around the property for safe later.
I do not know if coconut and beetle nut grows in these areas since I'm from a different country but yeah they look really good and you do not need to maintain it a lot.
If you can get native wildflower seeds the weeds shouldn’t be an issue! “Weeds” aren’t always bad! They will feed off of each other and provide lots of life to your ecosystem
What if, you build that bmx park you wanted, but down both sides of the driveway? One for more like bikes and the otherside for dirtbikes lol would be siiiiick
Genay has a concealed carry permit too? Good stuff, must be reassuring to know you always got some backup out there. Wish I had me a pistol packin mama, you lucky dog!
Toonzie has the best commentary on TH-cam, hands down. It's crazy that he's like 40 because he sounds like an energetic 20 year old.
i totally agree, he is also in my opinion, the youtuber ive seen that makes you feel like an actual friend talking to you, and not just "celeb" pandering to you are talking down to you
Except around the time he fell down the stairs... that aged him until he recovered atleast
I couldnt believe it myself
Cherry Blossoms going down the drive would look absolutely amazing when they bloom
I was thinking this too but do they have the climate for those trees?
Yeah they can survive in freezing weather.@@jakubjohnson6741
@@jakubjohnson6741Absolutely not.

Red clover would look so good along the drive and it helps keep the weeds down.
No, non-natives are not the answer. There are a ton of native flowers that would be great for Luke and wildlife
@AaronnaPhiliou maybe red clover is not but there are species of clover that are native to North America.
@@jakubjohnson6741 there are, but they aren't as hardy, so most places won't sell them

bluegrass looks really good

Thyme is a low ground cover with green leaves can be mowed. Has little pink purple flowers.
Everything is looking amazing Cartoonz 🤘🏻
Dope Beat also from the drone clips 🤘🏻
"I haven't phoned the drone in a while."

Would you consider widening the road for two cars to fit? Grass seems like the best option, just get one of those commercial lawn mowers.
Solar lights all the way from the road to the house and garage would be nice. Don’t know what to plant, but you can buy retro movies lighted signs, like “get it at porkys” or “Als Diner” from happy days 😂😂
get a one of those riding leaf vacuums for the fall and you can use the leaves 'carbon' for composting

Love the shirt Toonz. I got tickets to see em in February and I can't wait
what needs is a extra 5 feet of concrete on both sides for the road
I just keep thinking about a stream with fountains every 20-25 ft along the back edges of the drive. That would serve as a hard line against the weedy foliage you're looking to keep out, and it would be a fine water feature.

You should expand the road 2 feet both sides and do some stone work along it.
Yo Toonzy, love the shirt!! Tool is amazing!! Love the content on all your channels!! Much love!!
Not sure if you want to do this but you coild plant pine hedges and have a massive wall of hedge leading all the way dwon your driveway.
Clover is easy to maintain and looks super nice, maybe that could be an option for the driveway sides
The area you wanted to grow and are hardy you should try Apples are the hardiest of all the fruit trees so they are suited to most areas and localities and also useful for genay 😊

put up street lamps on each side for light.

Clover, dichondra lawn, ivy: all 3 will choke weeds out and don’t need mowing at all.
Do a route of trees and columns, looks a Roman villa or something
I do not know if coconut and beetle nut grows in these areas since I'm from a different country but yeah they look really good and you do not need to maintain it a lot.
Absolutely wonderful video it is beautiful out there
I did not know you were a Tool Fan ! And is there an update on the civic?
Trees and berry bushes
If you can get native wildflower seeds the weeds shouldn’t be an issue! “Weeds” aren’t always bad! They will feed off of each other and provide lots of life to your ecosystem
For the 20 ft on the sides of the driveway just plant grass seed and the trees every 40 to 50 ft
Thank you editor for the Outtro
❤️❤️❤️ ohhh yesss great vid love how y’all space is becoming
looking great love it
Living the true dream.
Cartoonz is one of real deal a gamer know how to spend his hard earn cash what a Inspirational Video indeed.
are you possibly going to widen the main drive path
40s at night and 80s in the day, exact same weather as San Diego haha
Can u imagine all the squad gangs in a party in your place Toonz ❤😊😮
Approach looks like it would be fun on 4-wheelers
Unless I’m mistaken isn’t the rebar supposed to be tied and not loose like that?
Mabey you can put small light down driveway
the editor at the end of the video, was funny as hell man xD
Bring back the Oakleys with the ear buds
What if, you build that bmx park you wanted, but down both sides of the driveway? One for more like bikes and the otherside for dirtbikes lol would be siiiiick
Love the shirt literally my favorite band! And Keep being the badass you are love ya toonz
Love your video's keep up the great work
get some of them big ass edward scissor hand bushes
Heya Toonz, were you planning to get a two post lift in the Shop?
I hope you're feeling better Mrs Toonz 🤧
I just love them both 😂😂
LOOK........I KNOW I SAID BI WEEKLY BUT 2 VIDEOS WITHIN 7 DAYS IS AN ABSOLUTE TREAT
Is that just gravel or asphalt? Cuz I see what looks like cracks.
Genay has a concealed carry permit too? Good stuff, must be reassuring to know you always got some backup out there. Wish I had me a pistol packin mama, you lucky dog!
Love the videos👍
I just want to know what the mowing bill looks like?
I know you ain't a guntuber but you should post some of the range day stuff I watch demo ranch and those cats too.
