It would be so neat to take a picture of the kids beside a tree that gets really tall. Later in their life, they could see how small they were when the tree was planted. ❤ The trees are beautiful ❤

The trees are just beautiful! It looks so peaceful out there. Love seeing Benjamin with his shovel. Hope Samantha is feeling better!🌲🌳💙🩷

I just wanted to throw a HUGE THANK YOU to Paul and Bethany for letting video of their work on the gardens be posted. We see all this beautiful work being done and hearing about these awesome people and its nice to see it all put together. You are blessed to have a close relationship with your brother/sister.

Shout out to Aaron and Paul! They did a gorgeous job with the trees!🙌 hope Samantha is feeling better!💕💕

Wow, what a difference the trees make! Now the land is attaining its identity!

I agree, a Leyland cypress would be overwhelming behind the fireplace, but i'm sure you will find the right one ...gee it's so cute to see Benjamin with the "big guys" shovelling along with them......he'll be an expert planter by the time he's 10! Oh and one more thing....Would love one of Aaron 's Fly-over drone shots of your "Tree Lane" 🌲🌳🌲🌳

Wow! I love your “private forest”! It is coming together so quickly. Isn’t it nice to start with trees that have some size instead of little twigs?! So happy for you, and so enjoyable for us to get to watch the whole process! 🌲💚🌲💚🌲💚🌲

I bet your neighbors are excited to see all those lovely trees, I know I would be.

No such thing as busy work in the garden, everything is done for a purpose, and you all do it so well. Being a Mommy and a full time Gardner and all the other hats you wear and responsibilities you have, its amazing to see it all flow. Ty

It is so much fun to watch Aaron get so excited about trees. He was never on camera in the beginning so that makes it more fun too. I just have to say that Samantha is a miniature version of your Mom, so adorable. I sure hope she feels better soon.

The trees look beautiful!! Hats off to Aaron and Paul for all of their hard work and to Benjamin and his help and supervision!!! Hope Samantha Grace is feeling better!

A woodland landscape is something few people think to or want to do because of the time scale involved. 20-30 years for a tree to grow up is hard to imagine. It's the time scale when your children grow up and your grandchildren come to visit before you can stand back and reminisce that you did this, you planted this forest so long ago. Our cedars and spruces have put on 50 additional feet of growth in 23yrs. To about 125ft now. Its awesome 🙂❤

When we planted 15, 1foot tall blue spruces I couldn't wait to see them full grown! BUT I realized I was wishing time away! I couldn't help it, I wanted to see them full grown and covered in snow looking beautiful! Well, it's now 36 years later and wow are they beautiful. So glad we planted so many evergreens and deciduous trees right after we moved in, the shade around the house is wonderful and not to mention the beauty it has brought to the yard. All my husband's idea. Good thinking hon.

In this day & age it’s so nice of you to respect the neighbor kids’ privacy. Wise & conscientious in all you do! Thumbs up 👍🏻

A big tree planting day is a guaranteed fabulous day! Thanks for bringing us along. Hope Samantha feels better soon.

What an incredible haul to get in! Even better- every time you plant and get in big stuff, I know the animals get just as happy as you are.

I have watched this channel for a long time. Today I realized that I wanted save this video for the evening, some days I can’t wait to watch it with my morning tea. Laura has such kind demeanor and is whip smart about gardening. Everything they do is with such precision and organization from their barn storage to the new “dirt” property. It is a joy to watch you with your children too. With that said I come for the garden but I stay because my OCD brain loves the positive energy, the beautiful planting and all of the organization. Am I the only one that loved watching all those tubers getting being organized and but to bed? ❤

Prayers for Samantha and Benjamin her to be well and for him to stay well and not get it. For the rest of you, too.

I see you have houses all around your property. How wonderful for them to have you and your husband do all the work and they get to just enjoy the view. What a deal : )

Picture this: a cart with wide tires you could use while packing the dahlias. Instead of going back and forth gathering the dahlias, you would roll the cart right down the side of the drying rack, pack them, then roll the bins out to the Gater. You’re the hardest, most sincere worker I know. I’d love to see a cart being helpful to you. Bet Paul could whip that right up for you!!

I'm with you guys on removing wire from rootballs. I've pulled +20yr Hemlocks out of the ground where their roots never spread out and much of the burlap was even intact so I remove much of that as well.

WOW!!! Love how the trees look in that space, it will be such a peaceful spot with all the trees. Such a natural space that continues from your stream area. The Vanderwolf Pine are SOOOOOO striking, such a dark green. BEAUTIFUL!

I love seeing the Leyland placed all by itself ... here in Atlanta you'll see Leylands planted side by side to create privacy/hedging and they eventually crowd each other out and die. Nice to see how beautifully one can be when allowed to spread and grow and thrive !!!! As always, thanks for sharing your knowledge, enthusiasm and inspiration !!!

The older Layland Cypress - truely a mature specimen! And yes, I agree, maybe too big for the fireplace area. A big ginkgo would be glorious in the fall with their brilliant yellow.

Hi Laura and Aaron! Aaron, you and Paul make a great team! I enjoyed watching you both plant the trees with Benjamins help and seeing Samantha Grace playing off to the side. Glad you got the dahlias all put away, Laura. Thank you so much for sharing!

I have to tell you I was never really a tree person (maybe because I live in British Columbia -plenty of trees here). I mostly focused on shrubs and beautiful annuals in my garden. But you and Aaron have opened my eyes to the beauty of trees! Now I see such beautiful specimans everywhere and can't wait to plant more in my garden! Thank you for opening my eyes to this bigger picture.

It’s so cute to see Benjamin helping plant the trees.

I love watching the trees get put in the ground. It's looking real pretty.

The trees are amazing and I absolutely love when there’s something extra after you’ve signed off. 😊

Wow, Aaron and Paul were so in sync digging those holes…awesome job. And the end with Cheddar taking a nap in the fabric and Russell coming by and looks like they rub noses melted my heart ❤️

Listening to the joy in your voice is sooo heart warming ❤

I had 14 20 yo Leyland cypress as a property line barrier. Hurricane Florence laid down every one of them. Took us a very long time to cut them up snd get them removed. It was actually a blessing because they had shaded the branches beneath thus losing their screening ability. I have replaced with a group of ornamental trees…..serviceberry, styrax, redbuds, cherries (kwanzan and yoshino).

At a time when my life could not be any more busy than right now, and the autumn dampness has well and truly set in here in England, your videos bring me such peace, joy, inspiration and balance. I look forward to watching all your projects and progress every single day. And I also have to commend Ken, who’s choice of music is so wonderful and uplifting and somehow he always manages to edit the sound for each video in such a way that it fits my emotional state perfectly every day. The uplifting music as you packed your dahlias is a particular favourite of mine. I cannot thank you and everyone who works with you on this channel enough, Laura. I know GA is your business, but it’s also just such a positive contribution to society, community and our natural environment

Wow, I would love to be your neighbor! Those’s trees are going to create a beautiful wall!

When the music is pumping and you guys are cranking it’s a dopamine drop like no other!

Wow! Those trees are gorgeous! It's going to be beautiful in a few years! Benjamin is going to remember all this and be so proud he was part of it all! I pray Samantha Grace gets better real soon! A great big hug for her!❤ Storing dahlia tubers is a beast of a job, no thank you for me. Paul and Aaron did a great job! Blessings 💞🤗💞

Hi Laura, Aaron, ❤️‍🩹 Thanks to you both for soldiering on to put out this video when your little one is under the weather. I wish Samantha-Grace a speedy recovery. 🌲 The trees look lovely and I can’t wait to see the Christmas lights go up in your property in due course.

It’s lovely to see trees being planted, adding good things to the environment and beautiful structure to your ever growing landscape. Also sweet to see Benjamin helping his dad .. so lovely 🥰 hope Samantha gets well soon xx

Funny how the "aim of the tree shopping" was for the area behind the fireplace and just maybe for the dirt land.... But nothing ended up in the fireplace😂😂😂😂😂 gotta love planning 😊

The Willy Nilly gardening is amazing. I love the placement of all the trees. I can just imagine how rich in color!

I love watching you convert 'the dirtlands' into garden, we're slowly doing the same at our property

I 100% agree with Laura! Remove the metal cage as much as possible, as well as all of the twine / rope. I have a gardening business in zone 6B south eastern PA - wet / humid environment . we have seen 30 year old trees with the cage still in tack as well as the burlap and twine still attached. These trees were either removed or had a diseased so we dug them up and were able to see. Established in the landscape for years (before we were their gardeners) ☺️

I love the Paul and Aaron team work.

It makes me so happy to see how happy you are! I’ve been following you and Aaron over the years and it’s so nice to see all of you guys’ hard work pay off! I cannot begin to express how inspiring and educational your videos are. I can only imagine the influence you have made within gardens all over the world! So well-deserved! ❤

So good to show that full grown Leyland. As a nurseryperson when I'd tell a customer the 25'x25' eventual size of a tree they'd always say "not in my lifetime!" And in CA we called those Hollywood Twisted Juniper which perfectly describes the windswept look. 😊

In my country we have a famous city head gardener (who is responsible for planting the streets and everything city greenery) who cautions people about leyland cypress. He says leyland cypress is very short lived, but not in the sense that it will just die on you, it will get ugly in about 10-15 years so owners tend to cut it down. It ages fast. He cautions about birch and willows as well. Not that you would want to plant every single tree for an eternity, but just a caution.

The Leyland cypress grow fast, look beautiful but do not typically live as long as some trees. I planted 3 on a mound for a screen in 1989, they were perfect for 5-7 yrs then started to decline. I was aware of their shorter life when I planted them because I needed instant screening and gratification but they areńt a great choice for the long haul.

Great job Paul & Aaron. Such beautiful trees. You're such hard working guys. Love love your land. Laura great job putting the bulbs away for next season. Such an inspiration❤❤❤❤

Just loving how this turning out. Hope Samantha feels better soon.

Think the dirt lands are going to be my favorite area!💜

Hi Laura. Love watching your videos. It’s my morning routine while drinking my coffee and before I start work. Was wondering if you could ever do a Q&A with Paul and Bethany? We see them all the time in the background and would love to get to know them better. Just a thought. Keep up the great videos! 🥰👍🏼

I've seen a lot of ways to plant trees. Round holes, square holes, fill with native soil, all compost, half compost half native. But plant them high is a game changer. Aaron is right, the plants tend to sink, and you need some room for the compost. If landscapers did this there would be a lot less "volcanoes" around trees. Thanks for the tip.

Hey Laura, I love your channel. It's one of the channels I consistently watch. You share so much knowledge and beauty with us, which I greatly appreciate. It has blessed me immensely over the years as I work to improve my gardening skills and knowledge. In light of the fact you're working with a lot of vermiculite, I thought I should share that I recently learned that vermiculite has asbestos in it. I'm definitely not an alarmist and I don't want to be one here, but I noticed a lot of dust kicking up when you were pouring the vermiculite into the Tub Trug and I thought I should mention it. Thanks for all you do for the gardening community!

Goodnight, dahlias... 💜💚 The tree line is looking beautiful! Just going to get more beautiful with time. Thank you for sharing!

The dirt lands are really coming along! In future years, new viewers will scratch their heads and wonder why it's called the dirt lands...lol. BTW, I think I speak for most of us when I say we ALL wish we could be standing there looking at the beauty! Thank you so much for sharing your journey!! 💖

Tree planting videos are some of my favorite videos that you make. Watching all those trees go in is so relaxing. Sometimes I wish I could just flash forward 25 years to see what it will look like then flash back today to watch it all unfold slowly.

Everyone needs a Paul! It's great you all work so well together!

I'm so sorry Samantha is not feeling well! Pray she is better fast. Benjamin is a great help with the tree planting! He's a gardener just like mom and dad! The trees are magnificent and really complement each other.

Loved how your cats were staying warm in the green house. Everything is looking amazing!

Beautiful! I love how your property is developing.

Loving the increased use of drone footage

I can't wait till the snow comes! It'll be a winter wonderland ❤

You’re building a legacy and it’s really cool to watch it grow. I wish I could stroll the gardens in person 😊

We all wish we could stand there in person, too! If you ever host a event, I think we’d all come :)

Everything you touch becomes lovely! Benjamin looked like his Dad when he was standing there with his shovel. God Bless you all!

I hope Samantha feels better soon. The trees look wonderful. In a few years you will have a line like the one behind the south garden. Glad you are getting you dahlias stored. Have a blessed day.

Awww…really hope that baby girl feel real good soon👍🏻 Love all those amazing beautiful 🌲 Pines…Aaron and Paul deserves a spa day for their backpains 😅 or a day off to rest and be with family 😊 BTW: I Loved the background Music when u where doing the Dahlias tubers…Im a 80’s girl 👧 it sounded like that to me…The 80’s Rocks 🎸and Laura & Aaron Too!!!

Just spent the day at the Biltmore in North Carolina and Mr. Vanderbilt planted a forest of hardwood and pine and had a a beautiful forest in 5 years, so you guys have got this! 🌲🌲🌳

I think the two similar trees in that location will pull it all together for the eyes perfectly

I purchased and planted 3 Alaskan Blue Weeping Cedars this fall. I’ve been eyeing them for awhile. My local nursery has a fall sale so I finally got them. I was excited when you mentioned them when you were shopping for your last bunch of trees. I can’t wait till you get one and give your feed back. Also your tree line in the dirt land really makes me want to step up my game at the back of my property line. Love your channel, especially with my morning coffee!

Love the lights in the greenhouse! And all the trees planted!

The changes to your property are just amazing. The trees are just amazingly beautiful !!!

Production level of your kast few videos are top notch. Especially with the drone footage carefully integrated in! Lots of work!

I pray Samantha gets well soon!

The trees look fabulous! It will be fun to watch them fill in. I think the Leyland Cypress would be too big by the fireplace. It would be fine for the fireplace to remain the largest thing in the area, or you could have a tree of similar height, but I wouldn't want it to be completely overcome by such a large tree.

Laura you and Aaron NEED a Dawn Redwood! (METASEQUOIA GLYPTOSTROBOIDES) You will love the structure, texture and history.

Tree placement...omg it's going to be and is such a magical peaceful place. Humm new barn and horse's lol. Hope Samantha Grace is feeling better, bless her heart. Laura you are going to have a ton of beautiful dahlias for next year. I can't believe those are just from 2 rows.

I hope Samantha is feeling better by now. Great job Aaron and Paul, the trees look great

We "brought" home a Leland Cypress "baby" when leaving Yosemite N.P. back in the late 50's and planted in smack dab in the middle of our back yard. To this day, you can see that tree from the freeway! It grows that big!!! But it was beautiful as long as it was maintained properly.

I’m 70 years old, I personally will never plant a tree,pack up tuners, but I watch everything you do!! Great videos!!!❤

It's awesome to see all those beautiful trees planted 👏👏👏👍👊🌲🌳 kudos to Aaron and Paul. These area is looking so good. Hope baby Samantha Grace feels better 👌

It is looking amazing, what about giving your tracks names….Benjamin’s way….Samantha’s lane….Erin’s Cove, Laura’s Patch and so on, how cute would that be, could even have cute little street signs made. One for you mum and dad too… Douglas’s hide out Chedda’s hangout…Little Red Hen’s lane.

Hope Samantha feels better soon.❤❤❤ The trees. Benjamin is always there to help...such a sweet boy..❤❤

The trees look so beautiful! But, I can’t get over just how many crates of dahlias you’ll have once you finish digging them all up!

The property is really developing beautifully! 🙂

I pray 🙏 that Samantha gets well soon ❤

All I could said is BEAUTIFUL

I am in Zone 7b. Former 30 year owner of Atworth Cedar. Tree was beautiful, BUT late summer/early fall was a pollen factory. Created a yellow cloud every time the wind blew or touched the limb. Good luck!

If you could plant only one crabapple, what type would you plant? I have a small space and would like to add one or two to the landscape. The planting on the new space is really coming together. So exciting! I am so sad Samantha is not feeling well. It is so hard to watch our little ones be sick. I hope she is back to her jolly bubbly self very soon. Take care.

Something blue and airy, like the blue atlas Cedar, planted behind the fireplace would look nice. Bricks showing through branches might be an intriguing detail.

Atlas Blue Cypress behind fireplace, not to thick and the color and form are absolutely beautiful😊 😊😊😊😊

Good morning Laura, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA Those trees are great choices for your open landscape. Happy Gardening Everyone 👩‍🌾 👍 ❤Peggy❤

Way to get after those dahlias Laura! 💪🏼 good job!

Hey Laura and Aaron: When I plant stuff, I place two or three HEAVY BOULDERS at the base to anchor the plant so those tiny new roots won´t be disturbed by the wind.

The new trees are beautiful. Those cypress look like they will be big trees!

The trees are breathtaking. You an excellent job of picking and planting. 😊

Good morning! The new property is coming along so beautifully. Those large trees make the space complete. I bet you are doing the dance of joy for getting those dahlia tubers tucked in for the season. Satisfying but sad because the growing season is over for another year. At my age it goes do quickly so take advantage of every minute of life!

Those dahlias are beautiful, but so much work!

Love seeing how Arron places the trees and how that area looks.

I can’t wait to see your forest in a few years! What a blessing!
