These videos where Laura is all over the property doing a lot of different projects are some of my favorites. We get a tour without getting a tour, if that makes sense. What an amazing childhood Benjamin and Samantha are living. It's full of the love of family, flowers, playing, cats, chickens, and sunshine!
I agree, following the path with the rock wall would hide some of the boxes you don’t want to see.
It is for sure a family affair full of fun and love.!!
Hi Laura. I think curving the edge of the rock wall will help soften that area. You have a number of right angles there and a curve would help naturalise that corner.
Completely agree!! My favorite too.
Just read your comment, and you mirrored what I was thinking....except you said it hours ago! But these qualities just shine through, don't they?
The brick patio area is coming out so beautiful!
I think that continuing the rock wall and adding material and plants would definitely hide the stuff you want to hide easily. What an awesome progress over the years. We always look forward to what you offer us viewers 💕
Love watching your kids in the backyard casually playing too ❤️
Re: Purpose of the Brick Patio ~ ? ~ Is the patio going to be a space for Entertaining ? ~!~ Garden area Or a Patio?
The entire property is beautiful... with a Zillion ~ shrubs / flowers / trees *But...what is the brick patio going to be used for? What about a 'Covered' area?
What about a BBQ - pizza oven - counter - kitchen area - small fridge ~ Dining table (off to the side) and more Covered Seating. (are the bugs bad? Screened-in area?)
(Is there enough room for 20 people in that area.. ? Is the Patio area getting a bit crowded? ) ~ You can always Add more 'stuff' later.
A Covered Patio can be anything from a retractable awning to a pergola, shade cloth or a fixed roof.
(Umbrellas aren't enough for many people to sit under all together......and can easily blow over in your wild wind)
What do you really Need in the center?
Do you Need another planter or a fountain in the Center? Will that be a waste of entertaining space? Something Removable in the Center for larger gatherings?
What about future....Birthday parties / holidays / graduations / weddings? (area for the kids to play / games to play / people to gather)
Somewhere to put out food / to be able to sit / eat and get out of the sun and bugs.
Maybe there are 'plans' for another area for Family parties / gatherings ~ IDK.
I agree...Continuing the rock wall / Awesome progress in such a short time / What all of us can only Dream of......
@@l.m.4014 What is your main question ❓⁉️& your point!☝️ 😂
And the kitties, too!
Two years ago I moved from a Zone 9 to a Zone 7. Knew nothing about gardening in a zone 7. Garden Answer to the rescue! Had a carpet guy here today to take measurements. He complimented me on my garden. Then he asked if I watch TH-cam and if I'd ever seen Garden Answer. Told him I never miss it! Thank you SO much for your help, guidance and education. All my best to you and your lovely family from a die hard fan in Oklahoma.
Yep! Another transplant to Oklahoma here too…wouldn’t miss a video!!!
Beautiful Laura! I think you should put beautiful concrete containers on pedestals in each corner of the swoops and put the rock wall all the way along at same height to provide neat and tidy barrier against the brick walkway. Boxwood hedge on one side, rock wall acting as retaining wall on other. Can still do plantings to cover the equipment. It is gonna be gorgeous whatever you decide! 🇨🇦❤
Wow that was fun. Samatha with her top knot and getting her hands in the dirt just like her Momma.
I found your channel the same year you moved into this house before Benjamin was born. Watching over the years, the transformation has been lovely to see. It's been amazing to see what's been done in just a couple of years, even!
Amazing!!! Thanks for sharing. Beautiful kids BTW so sweet!
Not everyone can run a forklift the way Laura does or back up a truck to hitch a trailer like Aaron. Your talents blend so well. When I see the planting beds in the south garden and remember the moonscape from which it grew, I am in awe. You are truly a fantastic duo to create beauty from ashes.
Every morning I look forward to the notification that I have a new video blog from you! You make my day! I pray you have a wonderful day. Thank you for your sunshine and friendship!
Same I love the new videos! More ideas!!
Morning everyone. Have a great day. We are headed for a big heat wave here in central Texas.
Good Morning ☀️
We are having more rain in Colorado today. Be safe.
Forest fires here in Ontario Canada. Horrible smokey air can’t go outside - pray for the firefighters! 🙋🏼♀️🇨🇦
Morning from Panhandle Florida! We are feeling your heat over here 🥵.
@@charlenedimonte stay safe over there!
@@charlenedimonte praying! Can’t imagine how bad it is there. Here in NYC and it smells like smoke (feels like I have been in a smoky bar all night!) with a haze over everything. Living in sepia!
I look forward to a world where every family can plant flowers, grow food, enjoy nature, and teach their kids to eat warm strawberries from the patch!
☕️Good morning Laura, Aaron, Benjamin and Samantha Grace. What a lovely thing to see, the family working so hard together to create and maintain their beautiful space. Its manna for this old soul. Your dad is so sweet with Samantha! And those strawberries look delicious! I hope everyone has a great day wherever you are. Thank you for the fun time, Laura and family 🌱💚🍓🥔👒
Hope you had a great day as well!!
She brings me so much joy, feeling blessed just watching this garden grow with you all.
I get slightly overwhelmed with my small flower bed, I can’t imagine how you can manage so many different things in your huge and amazing yard!!!! You are a super woman!!!!
It’s so exciting to see your dreams coming true with this beautiful yard. Your making a vacation destination for your children and the memories will be priceless. The kids are getting bigger you can tell they already love the yard. Enjoy the day. ☀️
I've been backtracking and watching garden tour videos starting when your first moved into the house. What an amazing transformation over the years combining great elements of what was already in place and changing or adding others for your specific style. And what a great style it is. Your aesthetic sense is very beautiful. This latest brick patio project is just one more in a long line of projects that you've done that add so much beauty to your home and gardens. Don't you just love seeing it all come together and the new plantings mature over the years! Pretty awesome to be along for the ride.
Laura you married so well! You would not have been able to do all that you do without Aaron. Aaron, you also married well with your proverbs 31 wife! And just look at the lovely family you created with Benjamin and Samantha Grace. You must be so happy to have those precious children and each other. It all goes together so beautifully with this property you are transforming into an amazingly wonderful and peaceful setting. I'm so very happy for all of you, including your extended families. Such Joy, such Joy.
"everything goes with bordeaux" ..truer words have never been spoken...
Morning Everyone 🍃🌸🍃
Love these days when you get to go from one chore to another. Lots of new, pretty plants and love the idea for the boxwoods and arbor. That area is SO different from when you first moved in! Remember the huge boxwood in the circle? 😊
Remembering all the spaces you managed to beautify before the Hartley, before the multicolored brick patio, before the new properties. Mind blowing how much you guys have accomplished in such short time. You are definitely creating an oasis in the desert.
I’ve been wondering what state/zone the property is in!! Do you know? Just started watching this channel!!

@@RavensReef thank you!! Makes perfect sense now!!
Good morning.. this is my kind of video.. going along and doing all kinds of fun things!! ❤ those babies have grown so much & so adorable watching their creativity.
Good morning, I have been watching your video for a very very long time and enjoy everyone. Sadly I lost my brother on 28th May. Its has been very hard for me, as he was only 65. What has kept me going to keep going is my Garden thanks to your happy motivating videos. I have done seeds this year and happy to say,they are looking great.
My Garden brings me some joy from my sadness of the loss of my brother. I am even going to buy some roses after seeing your beautiful roses. Not sure where my head would be without your video each morning with my cuppa. You get me out of bed each day. Thank you from my heart. Cheryl-Anne from Queensland Australia xx
Oh my gosh...the chaos of the opening with the kids playing in the background, Russell walking through, building materials piled up....this is the most Laura's garden has ever looked like mine! 🤪😍🤣
This video is so full of fun and entertaining moments. How was Aaron able to keep from laughing during the intro with Benjamin riding in on the little mower with Samantha pushing him. It gave me such a chuckle. Reminds me so much of when my kids were little.
Your vids always brighten my day and fill me with inspiration and ideas for my own garden!
Continued blessings and grace to you all!
What a pretty space! I love the rock wall, I’d do the rock wall all the way to the bench.
I would totally continue the stacked stone wall along the brick path and have it turn the corner and continue it all the way to the bench. I feel like that would really help marry the new brick patio space to the pathway and then on to the back kitchen door, that it would help make those spaces all cohesive.
Your children have gotten to big and they are just adorable. Love that you include them in your videos. What a blessing.
Warmed my heart to see how kind attentive Benjamin immediately picked up the hose to its proper placement after Laura dropped it. Teamwork makes the dream work. 😂
This needs to be a shirt:
"Everything goes well with Bordeaux"
and then an image of the supertunia below
Garden Answer on the back, all caps.
So good to see you doing what you love and having fun with Benjamin and Samantha as you and Aaron continue to make your landscape come alive with glorious trees, shrubs and plants! I have been watching your videos since you started! Thanks for inspiring so many people to enjoy gardening.
Definitely continue the rock wall around that bend!!!😘🥰
Samantha and Benjamin stole the show! Every time they were on camera, my focus was on them. I didn't even hear Laura, I was smiling ear to ear. They are in the most adorable stage💞
Look how easy your shovels glide in the soil of the South Garden! Two years ago it was all hard an and the power planter would barely get through. Beyond happy for your garden progress and living for the beauty you bring to the world. I’m smiling watching your kiddos tag along, I have a 6 month old and I’m enjoying bringing her along as I walk through the garden, it feels like even more of a magical space now. 💞
How wonderful to have the brick patio almost done!!! It looks so good! 👍🏻☀️💕
If I make it to heaven, it will look like your gardens. The patio area is coming together!
I love when it rains and waters everything for me...but, alas, it's the weeds that really burst forth after a spring rain!!
PS! You have THE MOST ADORABLE children!!!😊
Good Morning! 🪻Samantha is getting so big! Love seeing both Benjamin & Samantha out helping! Everything looks so pretty! Random job days are the best! 😃🌸🪻🌿💚
It's so cool, there is so much going on - the brick patio is looking beautiful, the Hartley area with all those boxwoods is so pretty - they meld together as if they were always there! Great job👍👏😊❤️PS the children are adorable and growing faster than the plants!
Laura.. your little girl is going to be Mama's little helper in no time at all. Just like Benjamin...❤❤ Great to see Samantha and Benjamin enjoying the space you've so carefully created. Your an endless inspiration..you and Aaron.
You know, the entrance might be a good place to use your rusty, white arbor that was by the triangle garden (if Aaron hasn't thrown it away by now). 😆😆
Yes Sally, a great way to add a sense of history and timelessness to the new brick area!
Had to pause..can not even take the cuteness of the kid's 😊!. After wide- smiling at them😊 I can focus. The brick patio space is going to be amazing !
What a Wonderful family day! Cherish these days with your small children working and playing alongside you because they go so fast! You and Aaron are such great parents!🥰
Laura, I admire you for your ability to combine caring for the garden and the children effortlessly. It's amazing to watch you accomplish so much with enthusiasm and love of all your roles! You and Aaron are setting great examples for the children! As usual all of your decisions are perfection!💕🌱🌸🌿❤
What a fun potpourri of garden projects! Love this time of year, as I can see you do. Interested in seeing how your sweet potatoes do. I bet you get a boat load.
I’m obsessed with this Chanel, love watching you making your garden beautiful.
The ones with your children are so lovely.
You’ve taught me so much thank you. ☺️
Oh my, to watch little Samantha Grace and Benjamin help their little mama and be playing around while Aaron and Laura flimsy is so heartwarming. Family times. The flowers and the big patio thingy are so beautiful. I'm excited to see what the new flowers from seed do. Great video ❤
I enjoy a lot of your videos, but this was a very relatable video for me as I typically just go with whatever my flow feels like for the day too. Things always come up and change the direction or priority and I love that.
Good morning, Laura, from Windermere, Florida 9b 🇺🇸 ❤
Nice update on the brick patio.
Your spacial mind is amazing. You are able to see what you want in your mind👍💚👍
Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾👍
Good morning! First time commenter but long time watcher. I think the rock wall should go the whole way! Your brick room is perfect, and the boxwood is, too. Everything is coming together so we'll! You are so fortunate to have so much energy!!!! Love your channel! From Maryland! Your water bill must be insane!
I believe they have wells for watering, it's the plant bill that I think is large!! Lol
“Everything goes with Bordeaux.”! Lol looks like another T-shirt in the making.
What a chocked full day!!! Cannot believe how the new garden area has filled in sooo beautifully. Thanks for taking us along as your whole little family ‘gets it done’.
Oh to be able to go into your own greenhouse and pull whatever plants you want to plant. You are the envy of us all. lol
My husband made my smoke bush a tree. He mowed it down accidentally he said. Lol I love mine also.
Exciting to see the Ptilotus - its an Australian native plant, the traditional Aborginal name is Mulla Mulla (the mull sound rhymes with "dull"). They're gorgeous and should like your conditions
Russel = Offical Garden Inspector! LOL 😂🐾
Well, now I’m ready for a nap. So much accomplished in the video today! 💚💚💚
I enjoyed everything about this video. Seeing the family together while you worked away is real life. I can hardly wait until the new boxwoods are in. They will frame the new patio and walkways so beautifully.
💙 Benjamin and Samantha Grace are living the best life ever! ❤
I think you should continue the rock wall all the way to the bench and build the garden up, it would look beautiful and make it more cozy and closed in like you day as a room, also would be beautiful to view through the arbor
I am sitting on my screened porch as I watch this. I can’t decide if the birdsong is here or on video. Enjoying the random projects. This is how my ADHD brain works.
Same here!
Can I weigh in here and say NO!! to roses on your beautiful arbor. I think you have mentioned that this walkway is the one you use the most to enter your home. Poor Arron having to dodge thorns while carrying in your groceries or whatever else into the home.😁😁 Your family and special friends will thank you too.
I am glad you pulled the pink geraniums. They are jarring to me. They come across more red on my screen so maybe that is why
New annuals . Love when you experiment . That brick area is fab keep stones and let them gradually decrease and keep the bench in shaded area rest with the kids in the shade lol 😊😊😊
Tons of work for you today Laura but tons of enjoyment for us watching. 😍😊
This gives me so much joy. I am watching it for the 5th time. So many ideas from every time I watch it.❤❤
انتي انسانه طيبه ورائعه تستحقين شهاده عالميه من جميع دول العالم على هاذا المشروع في الحفاظ على البيئه اتمنى اكون معك للمساعده في هاذا المشروع وفي جميع المشاريع في مثل هاذي الحديقه الجميله فأنتي تستحقين الخير فنحنو معك دائمن استمري فهاذا عمل خير 🎉❤
Oh my goodness dear! So many decisions to be made and so many plans to consider and you r doing a fantastic job! Can’t wait! It’s so lovely already!
Perhaps something other than roses on the arbor so they don't get overgrown and eat people as they walk through?
Your so funny “ one more thing guys” ❤️ 😂 You’re spaces are coming together beautifully! You have such an eye and green thumb.
In Laura’s world, “everything goes with Bordeaux” 😂🤣!! I don’t know why that cracked me up. Good job getting all the projects done. You truly are the energizer bunny 🐰!!! Loving the new veggie crop area. What a fun space.
laura a real life moment
you have dirt on your face!!! i love it!!!
“May even (get crazy &) run to the garden store, just don’t know what today holds!” 😂😂❤🌸🌻
The Brick Patio Update Tour - A feature to add to the flowerbed area of the joining paths and behind the brick wall would be a 3 arm lighting fixture with hanging lights. They would add drama and great lighting to the entrance at night. The sight line would be just to the right of the trellis keeping symmetry to the area. It could be put on a pad, pedestal etc... if height is needed. It could also add additional electrical plugs to the area. I am not a gardener but do enjoy watching your shows as I love design of all kinds.
Day in the life of Laura 😊 i love it! Feels like i was over at a plant friend and we are just doing stuff in the beautiful garden..
The patio is looking fantastic, and clearly a great play area for the kids! 🙂
I think you should continue the rock wall around to the garden seat by the hose. It would enhance the idea of drawing you thru to the new area.
New patio is gorgeous. I was watching her pot up the planters and said oh no, Laura, not the geraniums. The planters look gorgeous.
Love your little helpers. Love that you encourage them and give them freedom to explore!
I like it when you have a random “day in the life”. This was a fun video!
Definitely continue the rock wall! Elevation will add so much to the space. Plus the address texture of the rocks. And I hope lighting will play a significant part in the new patio area. Uplighting under the trees and lights along the pathway.
Ditto on the lighting. Especially since Hose Link offers solar lighting, and with Hose Link being a sponsor, it could be a win win.
The whole new area is looking wonderful, full of possibilities for memories!
Remember that you will always be carrying loads through that arbor and what ever you plant at it will impede your travel path to the house.
Any type of climber will need to be constantly trimmed, even in times when trimming is not ideal for the plant.
Some visitors who are spider/insect weary might be fearful of walking through a planted arbor.
A nice open welcoming opening with boxwoods and large beautifully planted planted raised urns would be very welcoming.
Little Samantha looks just like her daddy. Those kids are adorable.
She sure does look like Aaron!
The brick patio area has really been transformed!! Placing the arbor at the entrance was genius! I vote for continuing the brick wall around to hide all the utilities. The plants will soften all the edges and make it look like it was there forever.
Great job, Laura!
My morning routine includes coffee, puppy snuggles and the newest Garden Answer video. I find myself sitting and smiling watching your kiddos and cats playing in the background. I love learning about new plants and landscaping, combinations in containers and craft projects. I wish you could come run a drip system at my place! Thanks for helping me start my days ❤
What a busy fun day! Best kind of days for sure. Your babies are precious.💕 Love the pot color choices. That brick patio is going to be fabulous. I like the idea of the stone wall continuing on. It's what my eye wanted when you where talking about it anyway. But I'm sure whatever you all decide will fit wonderfully. Yes plant that arbor up soon! Thanks for sharing your day with us. 🌺👩🌾🌷💜
Good morning, what a fun morning with you all really enjoyed it, thx for taking us along. The Smoke bush looks lovely there and the containers full of beautiful flowers, just love it!
I love these types of videos, hearing Laura’s excitement as each part comes together is priceless…. I’d say continue the rock wall all the way to the end would look more finished😊
Another perfect day full of boxes ticked 💯 the whole brick patio is such a classy complement to the elegance of the Hartley! Wonderful 👌🏼
B-man is creative, like momma. Samantha likes to sit pretty like daddy lol love the cute bun on her hair ❤
When I Samantha smiles I see your mom. She’s so cute.
I think some tall thin yew cones would set the brick patio off beautifully, it would give a very European look and be a different look from the rest of the property. I believe the stone pots may be too much hard scape in that area with a rock wall, brick patio, stone fountain, and any benches or chairs on the patio.
Laura, you seem extra joyful today! What a great video. Spending time with your family, in your beautiful gardens, and a trip to the garden center... Sounds like the perfect day to me!♡
I love how patient you are with your children and letting them help you. Your family is so lovely!
Oh my! Little Samantha Grace saying sentences! I love the way the Brick Patio is looking! It's all coming together!!
Hi Laura, I would really like to see how you keep track of all your projects and how you schedule your days. I know so much planning goes into the beautiful landscape you paint! 🥰
Idea: the 3 small arb trees you got with all the boxwoods from garden center, would they work at the square intersection of the brick paths where you stood the arbor? Kind of making two matching 'doorways' to the different spaces.
Flower pots look beautiful the garden looks beautiful👍😊💜🌳🌲🌲🌸🌸
Please go & have a coffee, you exhaust me with your enthusiasm. Love your videos,
thanks, from Australia.
Beautiful and so fun to see your sweet family! I think “Everything Goes With Bordeaux” needs to be on a T-shirt. 💜 😉 Have a great day!
Like cheese and Bordeaux wine.
