1920’s garden makeover - 3 year timelapse!

[@taswegian1790]

Love the work . Great work done by you and the missus mate . Two tips for you from a cranky old bugger who has spent a lot of time on the tools . Buy long handles , length gets leverage and saves the back . Only buy wooden handles , you can hear them groan when they reach maximum load . Metal and fibreglass just leave you on your butt wondering what happened when they give , you get no warning . Loved it when the fork broke , you looked like you just lost a friend 😂

[@Hana_145]

It made me laugh so much xD

[@jontims5934]

9:39 If you missed it , like I did 😂😢

[@mariewolton7027]

You missed 'find an old fashioned blacksmith...😊❤

[@janetkile1690]

Have never figured out why short handled ones are made or bought!!

[@PatienceMarie88]

Both of my grandfathers were "cranky old buggers" who loved to garden as well! Cranky old gardeners are some of the best kinds of humans ❤.

[@d.k.s.4057]

Wanted to say I enjoyed watching you carefully break up soil clods and cover the new plants as you put them into the ground- my father always said you could tell a man who respects and loves the earth by how he reverences the growing process and helps the plants to take root and thrive-- he handled planting like this himself-- nice to see a man of the earth-- thank you and I am having a warm, happy memory as I write this-- bye

[@judithcatlett8518]

Your grass came out so good. That’s not always the easiest thing to get right. Wonderful job.

[@RafaelbySuzannah]

found you randomly and I'm so impressed

[@talulah67]

Same 👍

[@vyvienvp3413]

Wow, what a gem. So glad this garden had you to protect it's integrity. Some beautiful piano music too X:)

[@p-san]

This video made me just realize the english accent is really relaxing for me. It's like a university student leaving the house for the first time, and phoning in some time later to catch up and hearing the comfort of your parents voice.

[@yukey2587]

Pretty good for amateurs! My Brit friends moved to Canada, and were horrified to see huge signs everywhere saying "SOD" in massive letters with big arrows. We had to let them know that sod was the word for pre-grown rolls of lawn that you could lay like carpet, rather than seeding. Their relief was palpable.

[@bravo2966]

Strange, cos it's called sod here in England too. Though it does also double as a minor insult, "don't be such a silly sod" about the equivalent of calling someone a silly sausage or a cheeky monkey.

[@littleredsubmarine]

“Extremely amateur gardening project”. Amateur? You literally did everything yourselves! This is not amateur. The patience, love and care. You must be both so satisfied with the end result. It’s beautiful. I appreciate this is likely in addition to a full time job and the English weather.

[@lizxu322]

Amateur doesn't mean lacking love or care. It just means you're not a qualified professional. The word amateur is french meaning '"one that has a marked fondness, liking, or taste". Usually amateurs do things out of love and not money like professionals. I am an amateur fish breeder for example, and I take pride in the amateur part. More amateurs need to be proud of themselves for doing things out of love. 'Amateur' is not a bad word at all.

[@gunthermartinhampel2628]

😂😂fishing for compliments! Honestly, your videos are world class!

[@kategwynne4658]

Man alive. This is beautiful now.

[@constancewhite6906]

I’m into gardening and the title of. 3 year time lapse caught my attention. I enjoyed it

[@tony359]

What a marvellous garden!

[@vickiefowler1429]

This just showed up in my recommendations! What a transformation! Really beautiful!!!

[@ellieboa]

Same yesterday!

[@sandrac3517]

Me too!

[@lilashelton535]

How refreshing to see people love working in their yards. A beautiful result.

[@marky3131]

Impressive root removal. Many would have skipped that part. Well done

[@bellab1973]

We omitted to completely remove roots after having trees and stumps removed and now have several large dips in our lawn where the huge roots are decaying.

[@margiehelberg4594]

Come hail, rain, snow, nothing was stopping you, working like two Energiser bunnies!! I thoroughly enjoyed the restoration of the house too and mightily impressed. So wonderful to be young and full of love and dreams. I wish you every happiness there!! ❤ Much love from South Africa

[@vikirising2882]

I’m always keen to watch anything garden themed/related.

[@jiucki]

What an enjoyable video. I loved the music, the background sound and the result garden. Great job!

[@carolinegreenwell9086]

It was a bit of a shock to see the original garden because I've become so used to seeing it as it is recently. I've followed your house renovation from the beginning and came here from there. I hope you and your wife are proud of all you've achieved. Retrospective videos like this put it all into perspective.

[@AndyMac]

Thank you so much! I need to do a similar one for the main renovation on the GH channel and it's taking forever! 😂

[@doloresfuertes6677]

I came here from your house renovation video. I am very impressed with your new garden. It is sooo beautiful! With a small river on the back - no surprise you fall in love with the garden even in its old condition.

[@MarcusT86]

Lovely transformation. And beautiful music choices.

[@AndyMac]

Thank you!!

[@shod61]

You showed up on my recommended videos and i just can’t pass up a good timelapse video. I will now be a subscriber because this was a fantastic transformation. Beautiful job and I can’t wait to see more.

[@MADCATZ69]

Absolutely awesome job, you rescued an overgrown garden and made it a totally functional place to live and have fun in, great work

[@YoureNowOnTV]

I’m here as a result of KZbin recommending this video. I’ve not seen any of your other videos before. So perhaps the KZbin algorithm thought I might like it. Glad I watched it. Inspiring work. Thanks for sharing. 😊👍

[@barbbinsfeld3447]

Watched the house renovation first, then your garden...back yard. It was wonderful. Barb B, MN, USA

[@galacticgrape1939]

Your house renovation showed up on my feed,and I couldn't resist your amazing work here in the garden.From the compost pile to the new grass,to the raised beds,the shed and the lovely new plants...lovely!!

[@TraceysCookingNAllotment]

Wow such a hard worker and what a transformation 👏

[@janerector3820]

I've done this in my younger years . Enjoyed it all house included. I felt the soreness in your muscles after a long day, and the satisfaction when it was each portion was completed. Enjoy

[@markwhite5638]

Wow! Nothing amateurish about this. Wonderful filming. Such perseverance, patience, attention to detail. A remarkable transformation. Thank you for sharing. Hope to see more, more, more.

[@rachelchanel7941]

This is my first video of yours. It showed up in my recommendations. You all put a lot of work into the place and it turned out beautifully.

[@stargazerbird]

Wow! Massive effort there. We took on an acre and a half of neglected garden fifteen years ago. Hard work but I’d do it all again. It’s so satisfying and of course brilliant exercise. That lawn is epic.

[@terrytopliss9506]

Well done Andy and Mrs Mac.👍👍

[@AndyMac]

Thank you!

[@pennyhoreczy4355]

Enjoyed the large tree removal. Glad to see the composter as the soil appeared very clay-like. For my taste bushes were planted to close to the fence. Good job.

[@jojomart]

Wow, what a job! Well done! Sitting here with my jaw dropped LOL

[@rudolphvanthoff1391]

Came up in my recommended videos! Outstanding job there! I have a yard as overgrown but lots of damn thistles. I’m not a gardener… I mow lawns, but that’s about it! LOL

[@debrapage-v8w]

What a delight to watch .. just glorious results.

[@salomeswart8553]

Well Done! I love the lawn lot of space..the little stream...so peaceful and beautiful..your veggie garden and greenhouse...so sustainable own veggies and herbs..the winter snow so so awesome...you did great!

[@TreavorUnion]

The algorithm recommended your video. I watch a lot of reno, self-build videos like Trent and Allie, Tyler and Todd, and How to Renovate a Chateau. What you did is awesome and definitely something similar to what I would like to do one day.

[@philippaking1732]

This just showed up in my feed - can't resist a makeover. Will now go check out your handyman channel. Thank you.

[@FrankWoodPhotography]

Just appeared in my algorithm! Nice work mate. It’s so satisfying turning round a property. Mine needed a hell of a lot of work which has been tiring but rewarding!

[@warflair1312]

Outdoor toilet - timestamp 10:23 - For The Win 😂 Enjoyed watching three years of hard work. Thanks 👍

[@AndyMac]

That toilet is back indoors now 😂👍

[@janesmith9024]

Wonderful.l work. The greenhouse reminded me of my mother, a very keen gardener (as my father) in Newcastle - as well as the garden at home not far from this, she also had an allotment. In 1969 her last baby died at 21 days, my sister. My father bought her a new replacement greenhouse for the rotten one that came with their house - nothing of course replaces a baby, but it gave her so much pleasure and stood until she died in 2004 (when it was replaced by decking). It is good to see Newcastle gardening continuing.....Nothing like being in touch with the soil to keep people happy and healthy.

[@marnaudgarden]

Really enjoyed watching your video. 3 years is a lot of time and you did a great job. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@ann3654]

A lot of incredibly hard work but what a result. Well done!

[@sylvanramble1757]

Wow! That was a lot of work but very worth it. You two have created a beautiful backyard oasis. I hope you now have some time to sit back and enjoy it.

[@MrHuismeester]

What you did to the House you did the same with your Garden ! So beautiful and what a transformation ! Now you can enjoy this amazing Garden in the summer and the view from the House to this Garden is like a picture ! But what we in Holland always saying: Leave the Gardening to the Brits, they are the best !!! Love this video and thanks for sharing !!

[@sherriesthilaire]

What a wonderful transformation! Congratulations on a vision well executed and a job well done! It's beautiful.

[@TheCommonGardenTater1]

One of the best all time House and Garden renovations on YT to date. So impressed. The gazillions of hours of joy you'll get from the wisely invested hard work is worth every ounce of energy discipline and love into your work of "Natures" ART. Be blessed in your future bountiful Harvests.

[@serenity3415]

Right from the house renovation to this vlog. I'm hooked!

[@shellywelsh2316]

I watched a 90-day timelapse of a renovation of the Belgrave Villa in Wales. Enjoyed it, so I put 'timelapse and renovation' in the search bar and this came up. I'm now a subscriber!

[@johnrumbles3068]

Hey Andy, I came here from your Gosforth handyman channel, and enjoy them both equally. Seeing the transformation that you and Mrs Mac have achieved, is stunning and inspiring, I imagine many people would have seen that garden, and walked away. All credit to you both, for having the vision, to see through the brambles and bindweed, to create a such a beautiful place to live.

[@AndyMac]

We like a challenge but I must admit I was a bit daunted when we first started! Time flies! 😁

[@r.waynefournier4283]

And the choice of music for your videos is very nice! Relaxing and soothing, making it a pleasure to watch you work so hard! Good medicine for an old guy like me. Thanks so much.

[@bonniemerchant-jj4xs]

Just showed up in my feed. I enjoyed it

[@gaylereid8264]

Saturday night. Watched your home reno vid this afternoon. This was what I wanted to watch next. Lucky me it popped up while scrolling!!! Excellent !!!

[@marycallard5141]

Andy, so much hard work but what an excellent result !! Well done you are a trouper!

[@d.k.s.4057]

Wonderful! And the music is lovely... I know this was a great deal of hard work and skill over time, but the time lapse and whimsical instrumental accompaniment made it rather dreamy and surreal! Great choice of combining all the features- splendid editing as well. new subscriber today-- came upon this as a suggestion from KZbin and I am so happy to "find" you-- until next time, good day!

[@rockyrowlands3652]

Can relate to this as I am in the process of a major garden renovation. Wet and muddy ground, need several wheelbarrows and family hands on deck, seeing transformation coming along slowly, and at times thinking will I ever get through this. But each day’s worth of work and graft keeps you going in the right direction. Then you start to see your vision come alive.

[@claireskrine4837]

The algorithm brought me here. Amazing work.

[@russellmorgan5611]

Fantastic! Undertook a similar project myself some 25 yrs. ago. Couldn't face it now but took great pride in it then and share that sense of achievement and fulfilment with you.

[@jagerfly9867]

Amazing job. You maximized you space, beautiful.

[@sp-1973]

Absolutely amazing!!!. Such a wonderful space!. Well done to you and your wife. ❤❤❤❤

[@MargaretPDaniels]

Got it! A 1920s garden makeover over three years with a timelapse would be quite a project.

[@ruadhscottygirl2480]

This popped up on my recommendations. As I was watching, I thought -wait, I think I recognize that yard and that voice! I KNOW I’ve seen that studio build in progress! Sure enough, I get the pleasure of reconnecting with you on this new (to me) channel. Well done!

[@sonniecampbell1788]

Beautiful stunning garden! Andy, you are one hard working man!

[@patriciakelly2714]

Came across your channel by accident and I really like it. Really good ideas. Well done.

[@MK-yo4jn]

🤩 amazing to see all the progress in one video. Well done The Macs

[@AndyMac]

Thank you! 😍

[@Jockinoz]

That is what you call a job well done.👏👏👏👏

[@malcolmlane-ley2044]

I'm impressed in so many ways, well done for your vision and tenacity.

[@doober1977]

I’ve got a couple hundred acres in Montana and over the past ten years or so we’ve done a lot of work putting in road, thinning timber, and building our dream cabin overlooking a small trout pond. But it’s tough country-not much moisture and prone to extreme temperatures (-30°F to 110°F). You learn to work with the native trees, plants, and grasses so the dream of an English garden is just that, a distant dream. But seeing how you and your wife have taken your small (comparatively) plot of land and created such a wonderful space is inspiring. It’s a work of art, filled with heart, and sure to grow more beautiful with each passing season. We strive to be good stewards of our land and I hope to leave it in better shape than I found it. It’s a pleasure to watch someone pursue the same goal.

[@alexandrasmith4393]

May I ask how High up are you? My daughter showed me a video of somewhere like Nepal, with bitter white winters, and dry summers. They found that, by plating a large metal pole in the ground, the ice which formed around it in winter, melted slowly in summer providing fresh water for the little valley during the heat. I've often wondered if that would work in other parts of the world not quite so high up.

[@doober1977]

@ My property is around 4000’. I’m no meteorologist but what you describe would require very specific weather conditions with below freezing winter temperatures sustained for months on end. Montana is known for HUGE temperature swings - back in 1972, the little town of Loma saw the temperature go from -54°F to 49°F in less than 24 hours. 🙂

[@shiralleehaggart72]

This garden is lovely. A 1920s garden like this is far better than the awful gardens full of fake tat nowadays. Well done for making this garden look like how a garden should be. Natural and inviting for Bees, birds etc.

[@petesmit33]

absolute hats off to you both for your hard work on both the house and the garden you must be very proud/satisfied of the results from your hard work

[@michaelhaynes6244]

I love gardening but unfortunately due to health issues I no longer can. I enjoyed watching your video, I was surfing and saw your video and decided to check it out and I'm glad I did. I'll be following you.Thank you ✌️❤️🙏

[@anya40]

A lot of money and even more back breaking work there! But, it was worth it. Stunning!

[@FortisNome]

looks great! I like to see real human progress not we built a house in a month by a huge team of pros. This feels like something i could accomplish in 3 years while working my 9-5! I love the content. as for where you popped up, you came up on my fyp here on youtube.

[@pinkshoes26]

Excellent video! Perfect music! Thoroughly enjoyed!! Thank you 🙏

[@Bessie66]

That garden would of been someone’s pride and joy at one time

[@bravo2966]

Would've, short for would have.

[@lindakennedy1193]

Yes it would and it is so lovely that you have kept the essence of it, not ripped it all out and covered it with decking and fake grass.....

[@patcampton7163]

Not wasteland. I suspect it was a wildlife haven. My garden was also like this 40 years ago. The brambles and bindweed never stop fighting back. Good luck.

[@derekbarlas8092]

Great video. I'd stumbled upon your greenhouse videos previously but I never realised what a massive job you had done in restoring your garden before that. Excellent work. Derek in Ottawa.

[@prubroughton1864]

Another tip from ancient gardener. Unless roots get in way leave them be they create drainage channels and worm highways as they rot 😊

[@carrieandretti]

9:35 the stumps root removal is a huge hassle!! Never seen that before. Kudos to you!!

[@trish6150]

What an amazing effort. Beautiful transformation. Really enjoyed watching it grow as it were.

[@Fonthandler]

Great job! The council in my neighbourhood would have plotted 10/20 flats in that 50m backyard. Love what you did with the property.

[@WeeShoeyDugless]

Excellent video Andy, lots of hard work but well worth it in the end. The final clip of the snow covering all your work reminded me of an old lad who stayed in our village in Scotland. He was no gardner but always professed his garden looked every bit as nice as his neighbours (immaculate) garden when it snowed😂😂

[@boysrus61]

This also just showed up in my recommendations. Your yard looks so much bigger with all the brush gone. It looks like it is such a lovely place to relax! Great job to the two of you.

[@thomasmclaren8161]

Saw the house renovation first and was amazed at the after shots, its absolutely stunning and that you did it all yourself is incredible, cudos

[@ricknorville2324]

Well done mate I enjoyed watching this garden make over ❤❤❤

[@jaimeochoa7256]

A wonderful and total makeover! A labor of love....Congratulations, and thank you for sharing your effort and dedication...❤

[@barbarabauling7513]

You just popped up this morning. Well done with the makeover. Garden Rescue at its best! :)

[@ninareeves2995]

Love the Timelapse extension build and now the garden. Hope you won’t regret the laurels….they spread like mad, don’t provide flower/fruit colour/interest or good food and nesting areas for birds and are problematic to prune/clip as you end up cutting their large leaves which then discolour…..add to all that they are poisonous to children/animals! My next door had them all down the side but after a couple of years he took them out and planted yew (also poisonous!) which, although unremitting green, does have the advantage of being a dense hedge suitable for nesting for small birds which the magpies can’t get into! There are loads of other possibilities for hedging which give colour/interest and you can layer some of them (take a stem, plonk it in the ground and it will root) so you don’t need to break the bank by buying hundreds of plants! Keep up the good work….lovely to see a 1920s house brought up to date by an excellent craftsman😅

[@deeanngunnells6867]

Love the video! I love gardening and I can’t believe you did so much by hand.

Am alwas in awe of folks like you guys .. so clever, so innovative, clearly an awful lot of very hard work and the finish so impressive. Congratulations, it looks brilliant.

[@kepckatherinec805]

Massive undertaking, accomplished beautifully. Congratulations!

[@njltondeur]

Just popped up on my feed , but glad it did. Really enjoyed the video. I built my house and garden about 10 or so years ago so I get the hard work and you deserve a pat on the back, looks great!

[@Laura_Brock]

Your channel was just recommended by the KZbin algorithm, and I’ve subscribed. I’ll be catching up on the videos and checking out the house renovation channel as well.

[@kuura37]

What an amazing transformation! I really want to do something like that, to really work with my hands outside, but that is not possible since I live in an apartment :( maybe someday I'll have my own house with a little garden and be able to be outside and work on the garden

[@alanatolstad4824]

Wow, how well did you know your neighbors before, during, & after this ambitious project?! Well done, I admire the tenacity of you both!

[@TheoGermal]

This popped up in my recommendations. Glad it did. Such a transformation. Subscribed now 😊

[@lauralj2272]

Great work, first looked at the extension video, which linked me to this garden reno. Love your work. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@linc8633]

Lovely job. Great space for a family.

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

[@lowesonia8551]

Loved House extention Renovated Equally impressed by work in the long garden, you have created the perfect living space.

[@marymilner7304]

Love to watch a renovation of anything. Brilliant job. Brings back memories of my husband and I doing similar. Wish I could still do those kind of things and he was here doing it with me. Yes look after each other and enjoy every minute. Well done
