I laughed, seeing you work after it got dark. My neighbor used to call me the midnight gardener. I love your "just do it" spirit. I'm a small woman, now an old small woman, but still garden and do projects like you do.

[@danellequick3622]

I also liked seeing the evening hours because I work in my garden until long after the landscaping lights come on and my family thinks I'm crazy. Lol😂

[@diysbycarolina8622]

Lol 😂 that’s awesome!! My neighbors laugh at me too.

[@kirbzmom]

Me too!! Lol. How many have used the car lights to shine on an area to work in? 🤣🤣

[@diysbycarolina8622]

@kirbzmom LOL 🤣🤣!! I haven’t gone that far yet!

[@Mxtraveler]

I’m a midnight gardener that looks like a break dancer. As I work on my hillside I have to do jumping jacks or leg kicks to get the motion light to come on. My neighbors always ask,”What were you doing last night?”

[@lisakeller-fawcett2951]

OMG! I love that you keep saying It can be done by ONE person!❤

[@diysbycarolina8622]

Absolutely 👍🏾 💯! If I can do it, so can you🥰❤️

[@bgjblue]

So do I! ❤

[@trisharosemond6869]

You did a great job on your yard. I was quoted $3000 to add a paver pathway in my backyard which required digging. You inspired me to do this myself. Thank you so much!

[@diysbycarolina8622]

That is AWESOME 🙌🏾!! You can absolutely do it👍🏾🤗

[@patirvin-bz9pg]

If you are willing to take more time, here is another way to do this. If you don't want to remove sod (very hard work!!!) is to mow at lowest setting. Then, cover with those big plastic bags. Do this in the autumn. Let sit over winter. In late spring, when you can work the soil, remove the bags and proceed as you did with the cardboard and mulch. Landscape fabric is yucky. The soil doesn't breathe and weeds grow thru anyway. Cardboard is great!

[@jammiemcghaw9089]

Mulch glue is perfect to prevent the pea gravel & mulch from blowing away..these are GREAT IDEAS,,I will definitely be using alot of them,,tks again

[@RB-gt8bf]

You did that!!! I am a Sistah in my 60s now who has always loved working in the yard. My late parents taught me so much about lawn and landscape projects. I am one of the few in my neighborhood who do my own lawn and landscape care. I love it. I retired from a long career as a Nurse Practitioner and always found working in the yard so relaxing and therapeutic! Great job Sis!

[@diysbycarolina8622]

Thank you 🥰❤️!! Yard work and gardening definitely therapeutic 😊

[@RB-gt8bf]

@@diysbycarolina8622 You are blessed to have such a large yard to play in and make beautiful!

[@diysbycarolina8622]

👍🏾🤗

[@pegturner6748]

Nice job!!!

[@annaibrahim2052]

I'm a retired high school teacher and when I was still teaching, I found that the best stress reducer was weed pulling. I know it sounds weird, but I would just go into a zone and forget about everything but the dirt and the weeds.

[@patirvin-bz9pg]

Nice job, little lady. A few suggestions. Mow the grass as low as possible before putting the cardboard down. That helps reduce grass and weeds growing thru. For mulch, the recommendation is to keep it 10" away. That keeps insects and moisture away from your foundation. You can put a row of pavers next to the foundation. That also makes it easier to get back there to wash windowns, too.

[@diysbycarolina8622]

I love ❤️ the idea about adding pavers near the foundation 🥰❤️. Will definitely be trying this soon. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾😉

[@diysbycarolina8622]

Only a very few here and there. The cardboard is definitely better at preventing weeds. The x-board works best when you layer 4 or more sheets to the space.

[@yoyomama9858]

GREAT job and in the comments it was good advice for the distance between the foundation advice well taken but I have to say it gave me anxiety to see the cars go by as you had your back turned not only are you handy but TRULY BRAVE I just would have red cones around or something to get drivers attention to me working that close I just don't trust ppl attention span enough I'm a chicken truly

[@randyrice1429]

My favorite was the way you joined the two trees into one garden bed. Made a huge difference. Nice work on every project.

[@diysbycarolina8622]

Awesome! Thank you!🥰❤️

[@vernajoy441]

I have been looking for ideas to bring all of my fruit trees together. I know how I want to do it and low and behold you just showed me how!! Thank YOU JESUS for bringing me to this channel!

[@betht3037]

Thanks for the inspiration, I get paralyzed with decision making and thinking I can't complete projects by myself. You gave some quick and easy fixes.

[@diysbycarolina8622]

Awesome 🙌🏾! You can do it!

[@Weirtoe]

WOW!!!! Just wow!!! Your front yard looked incredible, so glad you added in to that path, it took it to another level. I'm saving this, and rewatching over the next couple of weeks. You've definitely inspired me. I think I can do this! 👏

[@diysbycarolina8622]

AWESOME 👍🏾!! So glad you enjoyed the video🥰❤️

[@ivonnecastro3569]

Great job ! I just sealed our backyard concrete slab today, all on my own. I am a 53 year old woman that loves to challenge herself. I have done projects at home and enjoy the outcome. Your house is looking lovely. Thank you for the inspirations

[@vanessapegg7180]

Beautiful mulching project. I never thought to use cardboard to eliminate weeds-I used plastic trash bags. Next time I will use your idea 😅

[@JoJo.714]

LOVE the fact that little to no digging was required! I’m going to use a couple of these ideas. Thank you! 🥰

[@diysbycarolina8622]

AWESOME 👍🏾! It’ll definitely save your back😀. Thank you so much for watching 🥰❤️

[@minettedyess2089]

You rocked that, girl!! 😂 For me, it would’ve been days of recovering from all the bending, and carrying heavy stones. I love how u started with your idea and then expanded on it. 😍

[@diysbycarolina8622]

Trust, I had a few weeks in between each project to recover LOL! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@Blue_Azure101]

This is great! Seeing someone do it rather than just a before and after photo makes me want to do it too instead of procrastinating 😂 I get stuck thinking of the back pain and the sweaty face.

[@diysbycarolina8622]

😅😂

[@cynthiawilliams1948]

To help eliminate some of the back pain and sweating try to do most of the work sitting down where possible...that is what I do, you can relax yourself at the same time.

[@Weirtoe]

Same!

[@Weirtoe]

​@thiawilliams1948 nice tip, thanks, I'll try that

[@cherylwilliams42]

Wow! And you could set a birdbath between the two trees!

[@diysbycarolina8622]

Cheryl Thanks for suggesting the birdbath idea❤️❤️. I will definitely be doing something similar in my next project. Thanks for sharing 🥰🤗

[@karenpennington5073]

Absolutely beautiful,however your walkway should be the width that two people can walk together. I made the same mistake after it was done. You are a true designer.

[@donzellcooper]

Those are some good DIY projects you did for the landscape. I like how you created a walkway for the landscape project also upgrading the flower bed. Thanks for sharing your projects ideas with us.

I stumbled across this video. I have a horrible slope on the front yard. I would have to hire out the work, but this is what we are going to do with that area. I’ve already started where we dug out the sod and planted phlox, lupin, mother of tyme, and hens and chickens. But the work!!! I’m going to have them do this. It’s sketchy to mow those areas. I mowed it for years but have to hire out due to disability. So I’m going to have someone do this to the area. Thank you!!

First, let me start by saying you have one of the most pleasant voices ever! Your presentation was so easy to follow and welcoming to beginning ‘landscapers’. I so appreciate this video, as my husband and I recently purchased a home, and I do not like the way the outside looks right now. I’ve been so busy, but I really wanted to get out there and beautify our front and back yards. Thank you so very much for giving me some amazing ideas! In fact, much like you, I work in such a way that projects take on a life of their own. I pray that you are well…God bless you!

I'm almost done with the weeding in my front yard. They got knee high with the rains here lately (Lancaster, CA). I plan on pulling up the plastic under the pebbles and redoing it with landscape fabric, the plastic is breaking up and shredding. I've spent the last few days looking at edging all around the boarder. Now that I see how it looks and how much easier on the wallet it seems I think I'm gonna go with that black stuff you used. What a nice clean look. This is my very first landscaping project. I'm 71 and have been kinda a little sceeerdy cat. Watching you has been so inspiring I think I can get over my sceeerdy catness. Great job. Thanks.
