    Exactly what I needed to see. I have hostas to move and garbage cans to hide, amongst other things. Love how you did it with no fancy presentation or trying too hard. You got right to the point and didn't waste anybody's time. Thanks so much for sharing!

    After a number of months of drought and triple degree temps here in Texas, I finally started gradually turning to Xeriscaping. I took my struggling ivy out that ran the length of my house and put down Canadian Large rocks which are in beautiful earth tones. Now, looking at it, I wish I had done it years ago. The ivy was nice, but, I have tons of trees and you can't get leaves out of ivy. If you use a blower, it sends the leaves deeper into the ivy, if I use a rake, I'm tearing off the leaves of the ivy. Now I have the stone down, I put two giant terracotta planters on top one with a palm in it the other I planted about 15 jumbo Caladiums in Florida Elise, and it looks just stunning. Little by little I'm adding areas of stones/rocks simply because I believe in conserving water, and you can always add decorative planters, or garden concrete statuary. You did a great job, it looks nice and neat with just enough color in the stones to make it interesting. About landscaper fabric, a landscaper told me it doesn't stop weeds because airborne weeds germinate on top of the fabric. I never thought about that.

    Looks great! I'd rather not use herbicides since they're terrible for the environment. Weeds always grow back so you have to continually apply herbicides. I think I'd prefer using a weed barrier or commit to hand weeding. Unlike mulch, rocks are more difficult to weed so that's the drawback to using them. But rocks look a lot better!

    I’m replenishing the front landscaping on my house with new river rock. The previous owners used river rock some 35 years ago, and they also used a plastic barrier. I’m replacing & repeating their original idea as shrubbery has become way too big & overgrown, have worn and the rock has settled well into the dirt surface. They, as well as me for the past 6 years, never bothered to remove fall leaves from the rock, so now the river rocks have settled into 35 years of muck, so to speak. I’m investing in a leaf blower and intend to use it several times throughout the fall and early winter seasons. Nice video, too, btw!

    Use a preemergent, you wont have to deal with any weeds, either granular or a liquid. I have a rock garden in sun and shade about 3,500 sq ft, I switch up the preemergent from one brand to the next sometimes using using two in late winter to early spring, than one application first week in September. This works really well, just make sure whatever you use is meant for landscaping and not turf only. The cheap route is Preen all the time

    I did something similar with our garbage cans. Old owners had a bunch of skinny pavers for a mulch barrier that I pulled out. Laid those down under where the cans go to give them a platform. Then I had 2 scrap 2x6s for the posts and old 6' deck boards that I screwed on horizontally. Very clever idea!

  • @DaveCurrieDesigns

    I'm doing a similar project with old river rock for landscaping and pea gravel for a trash can area. You can use cardboard boxes or even newspaper as a weed barrier. Just cut it to the shapes you need and lay it down, dump the gravel on top and no more weeds. Works great and it's completely maintenance free so far!

    What caught my eye here was the no fabric in the title. Bought a house 15 years ago with large yard areas and that had a stone/rock covered area with fabric underneath. Did not find the fabric barriers really did much, over time dirt settles in the rocks and weeds grow and the fabric inhibited the spread of the various plantings which you want to spread. Over time I have actually pulled up much of the fabric because it was easier to deal with the weeds and for greater spread of wanted plantings. Intuitively I would expect putting fabric underneath but my experience is again is do not bother. Also found fabric was not a water saver.

      @@Schmair87 No problem with weed's! We haven't had any issue's at all! We used a commercial grade landscape fabric we purchased through a local garden center we have in our town. It's the type they use in their own Greenhouse. When fall came last year, we had a ton of leave's, and pine needle's blow in the area from surrounding tree's and it didn't affect anything. We gently raked up what we could into a snow shovel and had to leave the rest. By spring, they just dried out, shrunk up and were gone with the wind! Once in a great while, we may have one 'sprout' pop up but you can easily pull it out root and all like butter. In fact, we just pulled out another very lush garden on the opposite side of our house. A 7'x12' bed and replaced it with the same thing! It looks better, neater, cleaner and again is zero maintenance! I wish we'd done this long ago when I think back to the big expense and hard work of all the garden's I'd put in over the year's! I'd suggest it to anyone!

      Hi Audrey, Can you please let me know where you bought the river stones? and usually how much river stones do you need for covering 1m2? Many thanks

      @@leigarden5890 Hi Alex :) We bought our river rock right up the street, from a local landscape company who has a bunch of different stone and what not. I gave him the dimension's of the area we wanted to cover and told him we wanted it 2 inch's deep or so. (I'd read that if you go deeper than that, it doesn't pack well, and is hard to walk on because it'll shift a lot.) So, once I told him that information, he agreed right away and did the math for us and knew how much we'd need. So, I'd go to a landscape or gravel type company if I were you. Our guy was spot on too with his math! Worked out perfect! If you'd be willing to give me your e-mail address, I'll send you picture's because I don't know how to do that on You Tube unfortunately :( Just thought I'd throw it out there so you can see for yourself. We still love it and did another area this past fall!

    Excellent job! I would power wash the sidewalk now to make it nicer! 😉

    Thank you for the idea of the fence to hide your trash bin. We keep ours in the garage and sometimes we don't have room for it. Thanks for this.

    Wow I loved this video! Direct no muss no fuss and super simple for DIYers! Im definitely inspired to tackle some things outside around my house that I've been eyeing. THanks so much! Also, did your dad anchor the fence he built to anything?

    Nice clean look on hostas
    I’m jealous. My hostas cannot flourish like yours.

    Awesome!! I love my rock gardens, I use Preen too, weeds are rare but I just pick them up if I see them.
