My favorite “I don’t care, I like the color of black mulch” ❤️😂

Putting the flag up at the end and how you teach your girls just got you a new subscriber! 🇺🇸🙌🏻

If you want some more eye candy and color next to the steps, get a good size ceramic pot and fill it with annuals of differing color and heights. Set it right in the mulch. Boom! You're welcome!

Memories made with your children worth more than any plant that was destroyed 💛

My son pulled my hostas out when he helped weeding. He was so proud of himself being my big helper. A job I will not give him again😜

I'm gonna have to say the small plant at 1:45 might not just be small because of the fertilizer. The fact that its mostly shaded by the large plant to its right is probably a strong factor. Great video though, the beds look great!

Black bark is fabulous, makes the beds perfect and enhance the beauty of the plants.

You’re a great dad. I was always impatient and got annoyed when they would “help”. If I had to do it over I’d try to be more like you.

I'm a fan of the weeping pine and water features in the corners, but I like the ornamental grass, the spiral and the planted pots too!! Good luck choosing!

I agree 100%, black mulch looks great. It makes the flowers and even lawn stand out.

Thanks for the tips for the beds! Never thought about putting down pre-emergent in the beds. Will definitely try that to make less work!

I bought that edger tool and did one of six large beds with it. Love it! I also used black mulch! One bed down!

Nice , I love the look of the natural border , and I also just changed from the red mulch to the black , I like the look so much better , Great videos , love following along , even tried the rubber mulch in one area close to the back door . very happy so far .

Again I just in awe of you garden work…&!I agree about the middle hole digger. Well worth the money and your back❣️❣️ it was so sweet of the children came out to help you. I couldn’t believe the little one was strong enough to carry that bag of fertilizer for you. God bless him ♥️ I do hope everything grows as you planted it because that’s the only problem with themed roses if something doesn’t grow or some grub worm eats the roots off and you have an in balance so I encourage you to buy some extras now while they are available just in case. You can always stick them in a pot in the back yard or along the side because I had something similar like that happen to Me and by the time the plants died and I went to the nursery they weren’t available anywhere and I lived in Wichita Kansas and you were sink there would be plenty of flowers available in a nurseries that big!! So I had to just find it flowers of the same color and put them in there to keep the resume but I know everybody noticed it because I did! Regarding the big space. There are a number of lumberyards and farm stores that bring in plants in the Spring and fall and I have seen Japanese maple trees there for under $100. They may not have been as big as the one you planted but they’re bigger than your children are tall! And honestly there were some really nice size ones at Thiesens & Lowes!!! I another thought is that not knowing the area Arizona you live in, a double blossom cherry non-fruit bearing would be very lovely there… Get the petite size it doesn’t get more than 5 feet tall. Maybe even get a birdbath to sit beside it if you don’t think the kids are playing it LOL it would break it up from just all being plant, plant, shrubs, plants! Still it’s a very impressive front yard and I am enjoying your videos. I know everything is going to be pristine and people will stop or slow down as they come by your home. Thank you for allowing us to watch this process and I enjoy the children helping too❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

1.im so glad you let your kids pick the flowers and garden w you. 2. Way to step up your game. I find inspiration photos really help.

I’m trying my first real garden at 70. I just bought a fixer upper historic mansion in a little town, & my neighbors, who just bought their first home are fixing their property up beautiful, her garden gets better each year. She put down that black, fine mulch, .& I am really digging it. I’m almost done cleaning up the previous owners old mulch, & working around her perrenials I’m keeping, & the plants I just planted. It’s a pretty big front garden, & I want to make it as maintenance free as possible because I have a lot of fun to be had in my retirement. This video is giving me a lot of good info, thank you! We are having the heatwave so I am sitting it out, actually getting other things done, hoping I can get my newest plants in the earth soon.

The blank space you asked for suggestions about would be great for a Japanese maple. I don't have much luck with them either, but I sure love them. Kudos for your parenting practice. Your kids are blessed and are your blessing!

I'd love to see an update on your flower beds! Did you end up being able to keep and maintain all the flowers?

Was thinking a hydrangea tree would look pretty in that corner. Just planted a Strawberry Vanilla yesterday. Great video.

I'm with you on the black mulch. I like the look I put it down.

Omg! You are the best! Keep on with the videos, love your humor and black mulch! Thank you for getting straight to the point ,

Thank you for your video. Don’t worry about what other people say you do. What works for you if you like the black mulch do the black mulch it does make everything pop. I just ordered a pro plugger. Can’t wait to get it. Thanks for your input have a beautiful day. God bless you and your family.

That flower combination is money. The boss doesn't like red flowers. Red makes the grass look so green! Audio sounds 👍

Nicely done. Excellent patience with the kiddos, too.

We use black hemlock mulch as it’s supposed to keep fleas out and doesn’t have splinters in it like the red barkdust does. We love it and get many compliments on our front yard using it. I am thinking about getting that tool to edge with. We have old sidewalks that are rocky and tend to break up when we use the weed eater tool. Great video!

Stumbled across this, reminiscing on when you were my student teacher in middle school. Awesome to see your success!

The black mulch looks great. Keep the videos coming.

Looking sharp! And the flower bed looks great too! Your bed is going to pop in no time!

Looks beautiful! A tall bubbly fountain with more hostas around the base would look awesome in that open spot near the steps. 💦 👍🏻

Flag was a nice touch for the video. Enjoyed the family weeding and planting

Butterfly bushes are beautiful. There perennials, easy to grow flower all summer and have a lighter pretty smell. Plus the best thing is it brings in butterflies for your girls to see. It feeds them and helps the environment. I have many and they great. Just prune back lightly in late fall before frost. I'd also put a small bird bath next to it. The butterflies and birds need water. 😊🦋🦋🐦🐦🌻🌻

Bro thats a serious live edge when the kids can sit on it like a step 🤣🤣🤣....mission accomplished!!! I agree with Clint that Rode mic sound is crisp 👌🏾.

Looks nice and your daughters are learning the love of the land.

Thank you for making this content! You're extremely helpful.

Great job... Love the dark mulch... Perfect edging...

The flag is the cherry on top..and thanks for the Proplugger info. Definitely interested and looks like this is a must have. Going shopping!

Just wanted to say thanks my bro and in make new beds all day yesterday at my new home and your vids were a life saver.

Looks awesome!! Well done, my friend! I love some fresh mulch and red begonias.

That flower bed is looking great!

Place a water feature in that spot. A nice fountain and place lights around it so it’s lit at night.

I switched my red mulch out and put in rubber mulch. Deep darker look but clean, neat and keeps the weeds out.

I really enjoy your ideas on edging! Thank you.

I'm a fan of the black mulch as well. I think it looks better. 👍

With you on the black mulch. It's my favorite look.

Just gorgeous! I vote for replacing the red maple. Will complement the red flowers nicely. Great job!

Great ideas. My brother had a lawn business, and he would help me out with my yard detailing. He died a few years ago of cancer. Now I'm taking your advice. ❤

Put a big Lawn Whisperer W in that empty spot! 😁

A suggestion would be to plant a Heather bush in the area by your front entrance. They are hardy and bloom twice a year, spring and late summer / early fall.

Awesome job!! Looks amazing and yes love black mulch too

Pro Plugger 😍 gotta get me one of those. So many uses!!

I just Find Your Enthusiasm contagious I like black mulch too, it looks the best. My brother is a red mulch guy that looks so artificial to me

David Austen rose in that corner! 🌸

To add a little pop of color in your two corner step area, try a trio of Variegated Canna Phasion, on each side. They will look awesome with your black mulch.

+1 on that pro plugger. Useful in many ways.

A ‘Fine Line’ buckthorn looks similar to a Japanese Maple and may fit into this landscape. Another option would be a columnar rose of Sharon such as ‘Purple Pillar’

I like the black mulch as well, it has more contrast!

Stepping up the flower game!

Good job bro. Take it a step further and encourage fast growth for your new flower. Hit em wit miracle grow.

Also the wisteria plant whether it be a tree or bush would work there in the corner. A person can keep it trimmed and yet it would offer some height and a bit of shade for your hostas. I had one with gorgeous purple blooms and grew it on a trellis and it was picture perfect with a bench set underneath. It was great for prom pictures LOL

Hostas are the bane of my existence, they keep growing & are hard to remove once they get to a certain size. I had them in my backyard in my last property someone had planted at least 22 years ago, because I owned it for that many years. They look pretty in their youth, but they are ridiculous. I have them on either side of my walkway & they are encroaching on it. I have to deal with that at some point. Your garden looks very promising. Your helpers are doing a great job, & worms are our gardens’ best friends.

If you haven't come up with a permanent soution, here are a couple suggestions for the blank corner: Try a trio of ceramic pots in a coordinating color with the house and fill with bright annuals, including a couple begonias to tie in with your border. Or do a circulating water feature with a bubbling large rock, surrounded by small black polished rocks, to create a welcoming entry.

The beds look awesome!

Great video! Easily the best KZfaq channel out there!

Dark mulch looks so good !! I always go Dark Brown

Looks good! For that front corner, I love this little tree called a dappled willow. It is seriously the coolest looking little tree and it stays small. I have one by my front and back door

I just subscribed to your channel. I love what I have seen so far. Thanks!

Loved not only the transformation of your flower bed, but oh my those cute little helping hands, so adorable! 🥰 God bless your family. Loved “oh oh!” By the way, what do you think of hibiscus for that corner by your front stairs!

Update with how the beds look now! Great job 👏

Great vid. Good info. That tool looked great to use. Your girls priceless.

It looks terrific , especially with the addition of a the Young " Personalities " You brought to the yard 🤗 Have you considered a Ginger Wine Nine Bark to the corner ? Your front entrance looks so inviting., don't take too much away from it . The dark branches of the nine Barkley's will stand out during winter months and give a winter interest also . Just a thought . It will give a very nice backdrop to those bright colors in the foreground of center stage too ❗ Thank you for sharing all "your little gardening helpers " . They are such a blessing 🌤

For your corner at the entrance, how about one of the Proven Winners hydrangeas. You can find them for almost any zone and in any size…from compact to gigantic. If you are zone 4 or higher most should do just fine. Zone 3 is pushing it as I found out this winter/spring when several of mine succumbed to our -20 week. Or if you want an evergreen, one of the dwarf size spruces.

The black color make everything pop. I anxious to try some mulch dye I saw used in another video advertisement.

This was great! Good info and personality too!

Love your wagon..dumping mulch that’s great..gotta have tools to ale a Gardners or easier… I have black mulch too ..love the black mulch your plants pop

Looks great, great work

Butterfly bush is a great choice because you can always cut back and not damage the plant growth if it gets too big

Definitely agree with the black mulch. I got natural mulch a couple of years ago... by the same time the next year, it was literally gone.. AND it doesn’t look at good! Black mulch for life lol!

Nice helpers😉. Looks great 👍🏼

Hydrangea multi color bush for your corner. PS I use black mulch too, it makes the colors stand out. And putting your American flag out made my day.

I'm going to try this, been following your channel for awhile

Love it keep up the good work!

Oh, just heard you say you had one already and the frost got it...ah! 👍🏻👏👏👏👏

Love the black mulch too. Putting down 5 yards today. Maybe put another blue hydrangea ? The Endless Summer brand bloom all summer. Great video brother.

a few days ago, burning weeds, now, easy weeder.

Black mulch is awesome!

Looks amazing! 👍🤜🤛

A weeping larch shrub would fill that spot beautifully, lawn looks awesome!!!!

Looks great

You should plant a hydrangea tree in that open space. Just planted one myself and love it

Hydrangea standard for the front corner. Either a limelight or firelight. They are hardy to a zone 3 so no frost issues.

Nice work! good looking black mulch bed with the red flowers. I'm not sure if it would fit but a black dragon cryptomeria( Japanese cedar) would look good contrasting with the black mulch. I have some planted in mine.just make sure you get the dwarf size cryptomeria not the full size.

A Peony would be perfect in the empty spot. It blooms around Memorial Day with big flagrant blooms. When they die off you still have a nice green shrub the rest of the season.

Nice little helpers!!!

Great video, informative. we are now gonna purchase a pro plugger. We were using drain spade.

If you don't like that tree you could replace it with a butterfly bush. That would fill that area nicely. The open spot you could put some type of welcome sign that can be decorated for the different seasons. Kids could have fun with it too.

The open space next to the stair - go for a weeping red maple. 😀

I suggest you buy "provin winners" for annuals & prennials. Try the supertunia mini vistas series or the supetunia vista bugglegum in that front area. You would only need about 3 of the bubblegum sp coz they will spread 3 ft. Also hostas are shade lovers..... the red begonas from PW grow about 18 ins tall & spacing 24 apart. The coleus's from PW will get enormous. I would try the red velvet or try the annual called rocking blue suede salvia from PW. HAPPY GARDENING!!!!!

That black mulch really pops next to that dark, dark green grass.

That looks awesome! The cold weather we had impacted the begonias that we were going to plant. Trying to get them back to life but not sure what to do if they are too far gone or if I can save them. I’ve been trying to get them sun during the day, bringing them in at night and watering them. Hopefully they come back to life so I can plant them

Great job!!!
