CURVE Your Enthusiasm! PRO Explains...

Something as simple as a BIG BEAUTIFUL BED around a paver patio can be such a GAME CHANGER! In this video, I'm diving deep into some subtle details that you can learn to bring some serious outdoor living space to your backyard.
1) Remove Clutter
To have those backyard get-togethers you have to create space. I'm breaking down some easy ways to create space and get you thinking about where your outdoor living destinations are going to be.
2) Curves
To create some interest and bring your eye to certain areas of the backyard patio we went with curves. This draws your eye right over to a future fire pit area and a cozy little spot for a hammock.
3) Elevations
An existing bed was present with a tree so instead of working against the element why not enhance it? We decided to create a big beautiful landscaped bed to curve around the patio and bring some life to this boring space.

I have been thinking of transforming the front and back of my house like putting a patio. I don’t know how to start, what design, where can I get a kind, patient, understanding contractor. It is frustrating. I am glad I found your videos. I don’t know where to start.

I have a 23x 42 backyard- in a subdivision. Developors screwed up grading with backing neighbors. Even with a 7 ft fence) we see the neighbors from the waist up. Previous owners built a composite 10x30 rectangle deck and river rocked the rest where it dips. Trying to create the curves and privacy but would love a video working around these two issues

Love your easy to follow designs. I’m a Scientist turned landscape designer. But I’m a gardener at heart. I would say that adding “a bunch of topsoil” on top of most tree roots isn’t a great idea. But definitely depends on the tree. Thanks again for your ideas. I have 3 young boys and a I STRUGGLE to maintain my own large garden. But I can take pleasure in designing spaces for other! Oh WHOOPS I just read the other comment regarding the root issue and you clarified…sorry for the redundancy 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi Bob, greetings from Tokyo Japan. I just found your channel. Great videos, i was tired of pinrest because of superficialities, without specific professional information and pricings. I am very interested in seasonal plants, and landscaping for elderlies, wheel chair accessibility. Most of landscaping ideas are awesome but those entrances with stairs, steps on the corner, back yard with gravel and huge stones with plants in between are beautiful but not functional for disabled people to enjoy the gardens and the calmness of landscape. Hope you can create a video specifically for this type of people and show us solutions. Thanks a bunch, am a brand new subscriber, looking forward to binge watch all your vids. Tx. 👍😊

[@BobbyKDesigns]

@Megg Tokyodelicious. Thank you so much for the comment and subscribing!!! I love the idea of showing what a space could look like for those who need wheelchair access. I will keep that in mind for some future designs where it may be a perfect fit! I look forward to hearing from you again on future videos!!!

Well done!!

[@patbo3577]

I recently found you on KZbin. First off I want to thank you for all your tips help and advice I hope to implement most if not all. I hoping you have a suggestion that will help me. I just bought a four square home that hasn't been violated other than vinyl siding. The previous owners were gardeners but had no clue about landscape design. I do not have a backyard patio or deck out back ( front side covered porch that needs new flooring, that's in progress of repairs) but most of my yard is in the back side of house & Right now I don't have the budget to put in a paved patio . I did find a inside/outside rug that has lots of color and I'm hoping to use it on the grass for a year or two ( I'm in MN, so seasonally). Any suggestions on something cheap I could lay underneath the rug temporarily to prevent any patio furniture from going through the indoor outdoor rug. It is essentially polyester and poly something ( woven plastic) so it's designed for patios or decks out side. It was purchased at Walmart and was put next to the indoor/outdoor grass rugs, If that helps give you, general use idea. I would greatly appreciate a KZbin video about how to use indoor outdoor rugs on the grass. Yes I realize it will kill the grass, that's ok because I actually do want patio pavers in this spot down the road.

[@BobbyKDesigns]

@Pat Bo. Hey there! In order for the rug to not sink and the furniture to be stable a compacted minus base would do the trick. I would separate the minus base with landscape fabric and possible add a little cushion of gravel on top. Without this, I think you're going to have trouble keeping a level/stable surface. Thank you for watching and the comment!

[@simonorsborn8177]

Hi Bobby Don't you think the hammock would be better on the other side of the tree. Create like a curved screen from the corner of the house (begin with a generous walkway first so the screen isn't hard up to the house) with some decorative herbs and butterfly attraction flowering plants. And Rose's for fragrance and beauty. The hammock right outside the front door looks cluttered and on its own.

[@BobbyKDesigns]

Hi Simon. I can definitely see that. I hear ya on the clutter. In reality, it’s not as tight of a space as it seems but your ideas sounds WAY BETTER! Beautiful!👍🏼

[@Bogastvo]

I would make a wooden terrace in the space arround the entry doors.. It would the placecmake even nicer to relax...

[@SA-mi4jh]

Can you lay out why you would cover the tree roots with soil? I have heard that compost or even mulch can be okay but that soil prevents roots from breathing.

[@BobbyKDesigns]

Absolutely!!!! The tree roots had come out of the ground quite a bit and needed to be put back in the soil. I wouldn't recommend covering the main truck of the tree much at all but roots that are everywhere can 100% be in the ground.

[@tractorworkandmore411]

Which software design is best to use for landscape design? I’m interested in doing the design side as well as the work. Thanks.

[@seancabanez457]

Hi bobby love the design but isn’t top soil to cover the roots bad for the tree? Are there other ways to elevate under a tree

[@BobbyKDesigns]

@Sean Cabanez. Thank you for the question/comment! These roots were WAY above grade so burying them is actually a good thing to help keep the tree "ROOTED" (No Pun Intended) in the ground. For new plantings you don't want to "Bury" much if any of the truck. Take your fingers and carve out a small ring around the truck so that water can permeate down into the root ball. Thank you again for the comment and stay tuned for future videos with lots of cool designs and tips.

[@lorirarich1875]

Great question for a northern yard which may have a couple evergreens and these if valuable ie.tall White Pine need a tough strong --something-- to keep those roots low. Then you have kept the height where you want it. I have thought wires covered with the perfect rock or mulch to control stuff and nesr driveway/parking..We once managed a live in Apt .building and all they budgeted was red mulch around their average looking shrubs at entrance. Is there a good low cost all- purpose mukch?

[@BobbyKDesigns]

@@lorirarich1875 Buying from bulk bins at a larger material supply store is the most cost-effective way. You can even call into those places and have them deliver dump trucks worth. Typical range for mulch is going to be between $25-$35 per yard. I am a sucker for brown or black but I think that cedar even has a place with some designs.❤️

[@chillmonforte]

I hope you can help me with our yard

[@michaeljoncour4903]

looks a lot better, however the rocks need to be partially buried and look like a ridge thats been there for a thousand years,i would use just one coloured rock also, i would add a garden is never ''finished'' it evolves over time and you can spend your whole life enjoying the changes you make as well as the beautiful and lovely smelling flowers, smell is an important component of a garden.........

[@BobbyKDesigns]

@Michael Joncour. Absolutely! I love it when boulders are "carved" into elevations. Nice catch!

Will you show me a video on how to make a outside corner and inside corner. Also I was wanting to know can I leave a space every so many feet for drainage. Instead of using a drainage pipe. Save $$$. Can I use water bottles in middle of my retaining wall flower bed to bring my soil level up to save $$$ for soil.Asap please

[@BobbyKDesigns]

@Pat L. Plant spacing depends of the bushes you select. They usually come with tags which are very helpful. I recommend used pvc for all downspouts to carry water away and if you have a real drainage issue dry creeks in the landscaping can be aesthetically pleasing and functional.
