[@lauratruthseekingWarrior]

Your videos are too short, lol. I love the way you chat with us! Friendly, professionally and to the point. We are in North Carolina, south of Raleigh, but less than 1 hr 45 min to our closest beaches. I took 2/ seasons, 3 months each of landscaping courses at wake tech years ago. They called it Landscaping 1 & 2. I did not take 3 or 4. I wasn’t interested in huge ponds or swimming pools and then the other class was about using huge stones and clearing away large trees and landscaping in desert areas to do on my own or with my then first husband. We don’t live in a desert. I love stones of all kinds and I have an eye for where to put them, unfortunately at this home, I don’t have any large size ones. Too expensive and heavy to move here. My hubby and I are in our very early 60’s. It’s costs a lot here to hire someone to bring us rocks that size! 😂 we just can’t do it. We add stones in other ways, smaller manageable stones. Anyway, I do my own landscaping designs. I don’t own a business or work for anyone in this business. It was always for a hobby of mine to try and stay fit and enjoy the fruits of my labor. I still enjoy it although I cannot dig large, deep holes or lift heavy objects anymore. That’s why I have a hubby! Haha WE are just about finished with our small garden, it’s a very rustic fenced area for our veggie and herb garden. Hope we get some things to eat and share! This is my first vegie garden, but I’ve grown herbs before in gardens and in pots.

[@BobbyKDesigns]

@Laura Truth Seeker. That's so cool to learn about you and your past as a student! I'm inspired to keep going and evolve just by your comment. I love that you shared and I want to keep hearing from you!!! See you in the comments!!! :)

Very nice to know the cost of yard projects. I am in Maryland with an acre lot, many Pine trees driving me crazy, falling and damaging our property (deck, roof). I am trying to create a cottage from. I am working with perennials and different seasons planting and deer resistant plantings. Thanks for what you do…

@Maria Beltran Thank you so much for the comment and hello to Maryland! Please continue to watch and throw some comments and future videos as I’ve got a lot of this kind of stuff coming out. Talk to you soon.❤️

[@martyculleton3973]

I think one of the big problems people have with their projects is a lack of patience. Many of the montage pic homes took years to design and build, so for me... the key is recognizing how much you can afford, which things should really come first, and do the thing in a methodical, deliberate manner instead of trying to knock it all out in two weeks. Like I have before! lol

[@BobbyKDesigns]

@Marty Culleton. So true. Many people want it NOW but aren't willing to pay for it. It cost a decent chunk of change to get established landscaping/plants. With a well thought out plan/design and patience ANYONE can have the images in this video. Thank you for commenting!!!

[@Supertomscustoms]

It’s important to also understand how much patience can save you. A 6’ arborvitae will give you some day one impact, but will cost you 5-6x what a 3G will. So if you’re willing to wait and nurture your landscape, you can save thousands. And your plants will be stronger for it.

[@BobbyKDesigns]

@Supertom. Such a great point! I literally just planted 30 of them on my property and I have to remind myself to be patient because I want them to be 10 feet NOW! lol. They are only around 5 feet. What's the saying "Good things come to those who wait." I'm working on it...LOL! Thank you so much for watching and the amazing comment! I hope to hear for you again soon on other videos! :)

[@lee-ann1589]

Hi, from Toronto, Canada! One thing I find tedious to maintain is dark mulch installed around bright green or yellow hedges. It is a pain to keep the beds clean because the leaves are such a contrast. A brown mulch instead of the popular black is so much easier to maintain. Also , black mulch tends to stain light stone or concrete.

[@BobbyKDesigns]

@Lee-Ann. Hello Toronto!!!! That is such an interesting point. I honestly had never thought about that but it makes perfect sense. I may steal this one to share in future videos!!!! Thank you for watching and I greatly appreciate the comment! I hope to hear from you again soon!

It’s all good. Everyone has likes/dislikes. There’s no right or wrong. I happen to find a landscape that is less cluttered more favorable but many people love lots and lots of plants in a small space.

[@nekoharena]

@@BobbyKDesigns Yes, I appreciate your videos! They really help to get an understanding of colors and arrangements. Are you disliking the fact that there's a large number of plants, or how they have them arranged? I'm focusing more on sustainable design than conventional. I'm trying to look at more plants instead of lawn grass or impermeable areas, but I still want to make it look pretty haha.

[@BobbyKDesigns]

@@nekoharena I love plants. The more needs the better IMO. However, more beds can mean more maintenance so how you lay them out and how many plants you integrate in them will make a difference.

[@catmintable]

The Hosta and sedum will both grow here in the PNW. The sedum may need to be covered or protected for part of the winter (too wet). The Leech Botanic Gardens in Portland used to grow high mountain/dwarf conifers and desert specimens by putting them in a raised bed that had a removable roof to prevent the constant winter rains from getting them. The maroon color frilly leaves on the near side of the Arborvitae were heuchera?? Or were they Coleus?

[@BobbyKDesigns]

I did have the electrical put in, and I think I can get a wire under a walkway (I think!). I love to DIY, but I’m puny. I’m single, 4’9”, and run out of energy easily because I was sick. I wish you’d come and tell me what to do with two aggregate patios I have in my backyard. I have fence posts left where I pulled down a fence surrounding a hot tub I gave away. Shade sail? Staining the posts? Yuck! Professionally landscaped with stacked slate in the borders, but overgrown in my opinion. I want it perfect, but I don’t have time nor money nor a man to help me. Long story, but I’m helping my grown son and ex out because they have mold, so my beaus won’t come over! Isn’t this the weirdest thing?

Terrific! I have always wondered about landscaping - the cost to do like you described. It would be cool though if you then showed...what NOT to do and how money is wasted. (maybe you do on your channel) Question about the gravel path...very cost effective...but would the gravel get kicked off the path with general use?

[@BobbyKDesigns]

I’ll definitely start doing some videos on what not to do. I do something similar called “Bad landscaping” and “things that drive me nuts”. Check those out. Got some good tips in there. The gravel is contained by metal edging along the sides. Can it move...yes... but it stays in the pathway. Thank you for the comment!👍🏼

[@barbkent5957]

I'm from just outside Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and our growing season is very short 3 - 4 months. I own 2 properties: a regular bungalow facing south, with a beautiful lawn. 2 - a lakefront cottage, also facing south. The second last photo in this video is especially interesting to me as I have round stones running beside the cottage; however, the path is under huge spruce trees that lift and twist the stones because of the roots. I'm thinking that I could replace them with a gravel-type path (lined of course with edging). I have a garden right in front of my home that, years ago, my husband built up with 2-tiered wood ties which are rotting and full of ants. I am hoping to use interlocking stones to replace them. Do these sound like difficult jobs,as my husband passed away, as did my son. Would these jobs be difficult to do with male help? Your videos give me so much inspiration....I just love watching!

@David Cattin. That's a good one. It definitely should be taken into consideration that the wires should be buried a few inches. Otherwise they are going to show over time in the mulch.

@Colm Carton. I think this is a great question! My answer is...it depends on what's important TO YOU!

KCMO here, Now I do landscaping for fun..... I can't figure out what to do for my own home.... Its needing a lot of work but not sure where to start. I have done 13 properties and love the work... But this house I am just lost.

[@BobbyKDesigns]

I hear ya. If you need some help, that’s what I do for people. I help them see what their landscaping can be. www.bobbykdesigns.com You can sign up for a design or consultation.👍🏼

[@Joylynnfrancis]

I see you tend to lean towards a clean edge. I like that but I am currently using rocks and the weeds are incredibly hard. To keep under control. I may need to scrap the rocks. 🤔 What’s your thoughts on landscaping weed material? I’m getting ready to put down some smaller pebbles around our house (all our mulch blew away) so want to know how to do it right. Thanks and love your advice!

[@BobbyKDesigns]

I think landscape fabric is good to hinder weed growth, and it makes it easy to pull the weeds out. I would say the rocks along the edge are eventually going to get grass and other things to creep in there and will become maintenance. I would go with a clean edge.

[@Joylynnfrancis]

@@BobbyKDesigns oh they are full of weeds and I can weed eat but it doesn’t get in between them. 😫 so if I’m trying to change from mulch to pebbles maybe it’s time for the rocks to go. 🤔 thanks Bobby

[@sophiavega1777]

Your work is amazing!!!! I live in southern cali. My house need some major curb appeal. Are you able to design here in CA??? Plz help

[@tcaver]

Wow so my large front with just buying various evergreens would’ve probably cost me 10k. But I bought almost on clearance at lowes. Just need your design layout help 😍.

[@BobbyKDesigns]

@Tatiana. It can definitely add up. I'm always here when you need me. Thank you for watching and the comment!

[@Aspenfawn]

The succulents at 2:30, do you think they're too cramped? Noob here so please dont' mind me. I'm genuinely curious.. Appreciate the video though. Very interesting!

[@BobbyKDesigns]

Hi Hailey.. could be but a full bed looks pretty cool in my opinion. You can always think it out by removing a few.👍🏼 thank you for watching and commenting! Ask all the questions you want. Happy to help!❤️

[@Aspenfawn]

@@BobbyKDesigns ​ @BobbyKDesigns Thank you! Yeah I think it looks lovely I would just be scared that as they grow they would simply run out of room (looks like there's very little to begin with). I just planted some succulents and spaced them too much for my liking because I wanted to give them fair room to grow. But I appreciate your channel, will be watching more videos soon!

[@BobbyKDesigns]

@@Aspenfawn thank you Hailey. I’m really glad you like it. I’ve slowed up a bit the last few weeks…Business is crazy. I’ll be back to regularly publishing soon. 💪

[@Aspenfawn]

@@BobbyKDesigns It's quite alright, things are busy here as well. I'm happy to hear business is good, though. But not to worry, I have a lot to catch up on. :)

Modesto Ca.. showing my husband a landscaper is not just a kid cutting the grass. He is considering an offer to take over a local company and doesnt realize the potential .

[@BobbyKDesigns]

Hi Modesto! Whether you’re maintaining lawns/beds or installing outdoor living spaces, business is business and if you’re good, it’s very lucrative. A friendly warning, be prepared to work your butt off.😊

I have a desaster yard due clay in soil. In my previous home I had a beautiful garden. After five years I've gave up. What plants thrive in clay soil? I what appreciate a video on this. How can I contact you?

[@BobbyKDesigns]

M M@. That's a difficult one. This is where I start recommending create elements in landscaping. Elevated beds, planters, hardscaping, different features, etc. You can find me in the description below. :)

[@southbridgeforestHOA]

those prices are insane. you can get stuff for a lot cheaper by joining and trading in a gardenign group

[@BobbyKDesigns]

Interesting! I hadn’t heard of those before?

[@southbridgeforestHOA]

@@BobbyKDesigns local gardeners get together and swap plants. takes forever to get all the plants you want, but less $$$

[@vickikennedy7358]

Hello from Corralitos, California. I was wondering if you use photoshop in your designs and if it’s difficult to design for a state far from yourself? ( different climates, soils etc). Enjoy your video!

[@BobbyKDesigns]

@Vicki Kennedy. Most of the designs you see are from other states so it is not at all difficult. I love to design and meet people from other states! :)

[@BryceGarling]

Here in Central Florida people traditionally do ugly scaping because they don't like to pay even those low end prices.

I have been looking at kitchen cabinets. I am prejudiced for wood because I like the wood grain. What I am seeing is painted wood cabinets. White, black, grey. Ick. They call these modern. We need something easy to clean for the kitchen so what about metal? I have seen some nice white glass with ripples used for cabinets. But who is making something with copper, stainless, etc for modern looking cabinets? I love some of the glass tile backsplashes which apparently are not the thing anymore. Some of these include metal. I want something modern but is there anyone with original ideas out there? I can see why some kitchen designs are just saying hide the kitchen when it isn't in use.

[@kaypierce8593]

Is a terra cotta patio okay.

[@BobbyKDesigns]

Absolutely! However, I would be selective with it. Goes great with a Spanish or Tuscan style home.

Why would a landscaper mark the gravel path pic install setting up so much? How many skilled and laborer man-hours are you assigning this installation? And, $20K for the fire pit installation pic setting ?? Wow.

[@BobbyKDesigns]

Please clarify. 🤔
