Nice job. 🌿🌷🌿 One thing is I see in my neighborhood ... a lot of people putting in underground irrigation and then they never use it later. This is commercial properties like Condominiums and Townhomes and also at the Walmart near me. They paid a lot of money for the landscaping and for the irrigation and then they just never spend the money on the water and all the plants die. Makes no sense to me.
How about water going right under basement? i didn't notice french drain on that side of the wall. How safe is it to water almost continuously under the house wall?
Looks nice when it’s finished, but I’m curious how well it drains, and how much of that mulch is going to wash into the sidewalk at the next heavy rain.
I haven't had too much luck with landscape fabric in garden beds as weed roots frequently cling to it or punch holes in it. It's been a lot easier to just skip the fabric and just use mulch to keep the weeds out. Landscape fabric better as a filter material to keep dirt out of drainage channels than as weed barrier.
A good layer of mulch will keep out most weeds. I haven't had many issues with weeds breaking through in my beds since I have a good health layer of pine bark mulch. The weed screen is not very useful for beds.
6:23 2 things here. 1. 100% i like the garden! 2. I think they just screwed up the house! Digging that out… will let the water inflate the foundation…and that basement will be filed with water in no time!
In hot humid climates, I've seen moss grow in all sorts of soils. Moisture and sunlight are important for moss just like any other plant. I would've liked an explanation on the connection to pH too. Isn't it easy to test?
There are varieties of boxwood that are very heat and drought tolerant. I've seen them thrive firsthand in hot climates once they're established. As long as they are kept watered while they settle in, I bet the boxwoods will do fine
No one can replace Roger, but this guy seems to know his stuff. I look forward to seeing what he does in the future.
I like this new guy. Good dude.
Explain soil ph and why it matters. Talk about the importance of grading so close to a house’s foundation.
Right!? He's so dull and doesn't explain anything...
No need for drip irrigation or intense soil amendments with nice hardy native perennials. And you get a ton of birds and butterflies as a bonus

Looks Beautiful!!!
Good dude,fits in well

The water should only be enough to keep the top 2" of soil moist. Shouldn't cause water infiltration issues
From Vila to Lee. Welcome Lee. Nice job.
Is that not bad for the foundation?
Are boxwoods really strong enough to harm the foundation?
@@ddogg14 I was thinking mostly the consistently damp soil wearing on the concrete.
I love the look of it but in a few short years I feel like it will be way too crowded as the plants grow.
This stuff seems pretty easy to prune or relocate to other parts of the yard if it's getting too crowded.
What is called the machine to toil the soil? I gonna need to rent one

Nice segment. Was there any reason why a weed screen wasn’t installed? The mulch will keep weeds away for only so long.

I've been hearing more complaints about using weed fabric lately. Seems like a little work every now and again is better than wasting money on it.

So what about the pH makes the moss? That wasn't explained at all.
Moss probably thrives in a particular pH level.

@@Kevin-mp5of You know nothing at all. Keep pretending.
Are there new episodes still being made? Anyone know by chance? Thank you ❤
Great video
Excellent
well done nice job Lee
Paint the foundation 1 st
Should of lowered the garden bed, first good rain all that compost and mulch will be washed out.
Anyone who types ‘should of’ isn’t worth taking seriously.
I guess the skipped the part where they power wash those nasty blue stones and pavers. Did anyone else catch that??
Shh
Leaf blower
Leaf mulch, never heard of that.
It works OK here in the UK 🇬🇧 😊
Not a good idea having soil against an out side wall.
What if it's just a slab/no basement, and the soil level is kept below the weep holes?
@@ddogg14 as long it’s below damp proof level it would be fine..
Boxwoods will get destroyed in the heat.

Way too many plants. In 3 months it’ll be a disaster
That irrigation for drip is cheap trash.
I don't like this guy. He interrupted the owner's talk quite often. And he operates the machine clumsy. Are you real pro?
He did exceptionally well. DON'T watch. FIND something to do with your life.
The machine moves on dirt. That's how it works. You just wanna complain as if you could do any better. 😂
Im sure he wouldn't like you either.
Lol. He never did that. Misery loves company.
Bigger fellows can handle operating machinery a little more clumsily. Nothing wrong with that.
