Love black mulch with box woods and green and white flowers👍

[@GabbyChristinee]

There is something so clean about black mulch lol

[@srochelle8214]

If there's room... I'd suggest adding more evergreens or other winter hardy plants that go with your color scheme. This way, you'll still have vibrant color during the end of fall/winter

[@GabbyChristinee]

Wonderful idea!

[@sherylchapman4168]

Beautiful! Fill in those cracks in the concrete if you can then paint again. I love the black mulch

[@GabbyChristinee]

Thank you so much!

[@GardenreetLighting]

Adding string lights is such a magical touch! ✨ It's like turning your backyard into a fairytale wonderland.

[@jeremypearson6852]

The fountain you chose is one that I had looked at previously, but being British, I wanted one with a lion’s head. I found one on OfferUp and finished it with a copper and green patina. Keep up the great work. A Brit living in Florida.

[@GabbyChristinee]

Thank you! I’m sure your garden is beautiful

[@user-dg1zp3ym1k]

You should fill the cracks and do the stenciled flooring on the concrete.

[@GabbyChristinee]

Omg I thought about that! Maybe in the future 🤔

[@lisafenno4563]

I've done my own backyard with white flowers and black mulch, along with painting the fence black. I've planted over 300 white caladium bulbs.

[@GabbyChristinee]

Omg your yard must be beautiful!

[@susansusan9615]

Yes, agree, with concrete patching the cracks!!! Love the english garden theme and continuous green around all sides of patio.

[@vico00857]

Your dad is amazing 🫶🏻✨

[@SometimeAgo65]

Shout out to the men who have to do the hard laborious work 😊❤ not saying we don't work but their work is a little harder. I know that I've had many projects around here where my husband really had to strain himself to get it done. I appreciate it ❤ The courtyard looks wonderful

[@GabbyChristinee]

I couldn’t do it without my husband ❤️

[@sandyharrell1987]

wow❤❤❤I love everything y’all did. when everything blooms it’s gonna be breath taken.

[@GabbyChristinee]

Thank you!

[@amylouie4529]

Looks incredible!

[@sandiepetersonsellsraleigh]

Beautiful job on your garden. Cute garden gloves!

[@GabbyChristinee]

Thank you so much! DIYs are easier to do when you have a cute outfit lol

[@MarianneInmarsilia]

Looks great !

[@lisafenno4563]

Looking good

[@skylark1772]

I love it ❤

[@gjmw7982]

Love your back yard. The fountain is amazing. The only thing I would do is paint your silver shelf black. It would tie in everything.

[@GabbyChristinee]

Omg yes!! Great idea

[@twilde3754]

Beautiful! Can't wait to see the next steps.

[@GabbyChristinee]

Thanks! The video should be up this Sunday :)

You’ve done a wonderful job.

[@GabbyChristinee]

[@AnneBrown-hf3px]

Please fill in the cracks with cement glue then paint. You’ll did an amazing job with the courtyard and I also loved the color choices of your flowers.

[@GabbyChristinee]

Thank you!

Hey Gabby, glad that ur video popped in randomly. Can u share the size of ur backyard....? The backyard v r planning is similar to ur size , so v want to borrow the ideas of ur landscaping.... Loved the trelis❤

[@GrandmaSandy]

I gave you a thumbs up my dear friend A+ for the video

[@timeoutcandleco.1215]

Just an idea, once you patched the cracks, you could have tried priming it and repainting it.

[@GabbyChristinee]

Yes! Def plan on doing that eventually

[@carolynwilliams3665]

Everything looks beautiful! Just a FYI Hydrangeas depending on the type can get really big.

[@GabbyChristinee]

Thank you!

[@katemccoy8128]

It’s all beautiful! Would love to know where you got the fountain.

[@GabbyChristinee]

Lowes!

[@lisadukes6471]

👑⚘📖⚘Super Cool 🛐🕊

[@geetaford]

can you pls tell me what the waterproof membrane material you used to paint the fountain before the black spraypaint? Thx!

[@sharonslater4935]

Hi, it looks nice. Perhaps you could paint over the cracks with another coat of patio paint. You did it, it does look like an English cottage garden. May I ask where you purchased the trellis? Love those :) Thanks

[@GabbyChristinee]

Thank you so much! We def are going to paint over the cracks :) We got them from Home Depot! www.homedepot.com/p/Outdoor-Essentials-Heirloom-72-in-Walnut-Tone-Diamond-Lattice-Trellis-418750/313618278

[@SusanM.]

Curious what part of the country you’re in....Atlanta ? I live in WA and can’t have a a garden like this due to snow. 😫 I want to move !

[@lhh1084]

Great job!!!...can you plz link the fountain?..thnx😊

[@GabbyChristinee]

I couldn’t find it 🥲 I don’t think they sell it anymore. I found this one that is kinda similar www.target.com/p/32-34-modern-stone-wall-fountain-with-led-lights-gray-alpine-corporation/-/A-81535982

[@rajyakaripineni5265]

Can you link the floor color and concrete filler?

[@user-dg1zp3ym1k]

Where are you located? What garden zone?

[@kashaka0934]

Nothing english about your yard but i like it lol

[@anabeliagarza1805]

Has part 2 been released? I couldn't find it.

[@GabbyChristinee]

I’ll be posting this weekend! Needed some time to finish somethings up :) Cant wait to share it with yall!

[@user-xp7xd7jz4w]

You forgot to link the fountain.

[@tracyr1092]

Just an FYI, your pressure washer wasn't on full pressure. It would've taken off all the dirt and old paint. Fully. I have this same pressure washer and what I saw from the video you didn't have it on full pressure.

[@GabbyChristinee]

Thank you so much!! 😂

[@MetroMommy]

Did no one else spot the snake about 7:51?

[@janicethomas3385]

When is the wedding?

[@GabbyChristinee]

It happened in November! I can make a video about our experience if you’re interested :)

[@MichelleBack-cb9zb]
