I love the little parts in the videos where you guys just kick back and have a little fun - like Aaron throwing the rocks.

[@carolwarmoth8744]

I can’t express enough how much fun it is watching you go through the stages in all your projects. The soil he brought in for your driveway is the soil I garden in.🥴🥴🥴

[@willaerley7140]

Same here! Plus, I’ve found old discarded bricks and asphalt from the original construction.

[@barbaramccann7944]

In a year of uncertainty, canceled tours and trips, long-lasting fair weather, and beautiful pregnancy, the opportunity to address the infrastructure of your new property seems like it couldn’t come at a better time. Blessings abound!!

[@katediy4563]

It's going to be 50 degrees here in Minnesota. I'm thinking of doing some gardening later. It's December!

[@ChrissyAnzlovar]

This was my two and a half year old son's favorite video. He loved seeing all of the construction equipment. 🚜

[@robmcnaughton1086]

Dear sweet Laura.Just as I was thinking about what might have been living in that pile and got trapped,you reassured me you checked it.Love that you are so mindful and caring.Just adore you and your family

[@debtheweb7175]

So much going on! Cannot wait until spring when things really start happening!! Plus the new addition to the family. It is so much fun to watch your property and your lives develop ❤️

[@Bamboo4U2]

I love watching transformations of any kind, especially building/landscaping projects. It might look bleak and bare now but even a year from now, it's going to look so great.

[@monicahelland49]

Laura’s smile driving the tractor, Aaron’s goofiness throwing the rock, Paul’s lumberjack strength...so sweet to follow the progress of this amazing property.

[@genevapriest6190]

Notice how Paul so skillfully used the sledge hammer. "Paul, so wise to let the tool do the work so skillfully. Way to go, Paul."

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura and Aaron! WOW, you do have a lot going on. I can only imagine how exciting and fun it is for you to see the progress being made. The beautiful mulberry tree does look so much better with the concrete removed. It should be so much happier now. It's nice you have Chris and Paul to help with the projects. Also nice of Aaron to let others drive his tractor. LOL! Thank you for always sharing the updates on everything going on!

[@marilynmcgillick2931]

Seeing the lights when you were burning the pile has me anticipating your Christmas Light Tour!! I'll be having wine with that!

[@Vimpertusher]

Same here!

[@mirandaefg91]

Thought the same thing when I saw the little pile of lights :D

[@phyllisroark8526]

Yea my only thoughts was it wont be that way next year. They are taking so much of the fence out. Which I'm sure Aaron will make it all look great in the end.

[@EvasHomeVintageDIY]

It's so nice to see that concrete go.. Every time I saw it I was thinking this is so NOT Laura's style and that is one beautiful tree over there. I have been following your channel for a while now. I have my own very tiny little KZbin channel about houseplants and gardening and I have to say, respect for everything you are doing. Even one video a week is a lot for me so I have no idea how you manage all of this. Keep up the good work because your channel rocks! Big compliments all the way from The Netherlands.

[@chrisweaber]

Understandably these kinds of projects are far and in between for various reasons... but these are my favorite videos of yours! Pleasing to watch large changes to infrastructure 😍

[@daemmerung19]

Its nice to see Paul work, you clearly see he just knows how to tackle things. I always envied that :)

[@RavensReef]

Yes! He came out and was like we got this...let's do it!

So interesting to see how you started with the grounds it’s AMAZING how much you have done in three years you both have such great visions !

[@janinegagnon7784]

You can tell Paul’s a smart guy who truly cares :)

[@santushabihari2020]

12:12 so cute how Laura is prepared and looking forward to drive the tractor 🥰🥰🥰

[@katediy4563]

And we thought Benjamin got it from his Daddy. Turns out it's both parents who love big equipment.

[@maynardgreenhouse]

Haha you know us so well. We’d be worrying about the creatures living in the pile. Great video 👍

[@suebraschio6763]

Seeing that cement come out was such a satisfying relief it was like getting a bad tooth removed! Wheeew.. so glad that's gone 🤗🥰

[@ranielramos1944]

Laura and Aaron duo is such a relationship goal 😍🤩

[@sf55514]

We have a gigantic burn pile. We have had so much rain it is now part of our pond! I bet Benjamin loves all the heavy equipment. It looks like the mulberry tree itself is in the way.

[@terrya.]

It must be a pretty exciting time for Benjamin with all of the heavy equipment around to watch! Is everything his favorite?

[@bethanydusher2275]

Laura was right; you needed the tractor! Thank you for such a satisfying year of inspiration!

[@vallis1469]

Young, strong men are amazing!! They can do work like no-one else. All these changes are making everything come together. It's gonna be awesome. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Yes! Got to love a man’s muscles!

[@kelj7711]

The camera work is exquisite!! 👏 Everything is looking amazing! 🤗

[@lindagardener855]

I love your channel Laura, and I love to see you and your Mum having such fun together. It makes me miss my Mama. I was glad to see you wearing gloves😊. It’s lovely to see you working with your bare hands in the soil, it gives you buzzy energy from the earth. But take good care of your hands won’t you, ‘cause you’ll still be working them hard when you’re 90 and beyond. Weeding and gripping all these years eventually gave me trigger fingers on both hands, and knuckles that won’t bend fully anymore. I still work them hard, but good gloves definitely help a lot👍

[@nindyhunt]

Loving the drone shots!! The Christmas lights look wonderful!! I'm enjoying watching all the progress. I can't explain just how fun and exciting it is to watch your videos each morning with my coffee. Such great inspiration to start my busy day. Thank you guys for everything you give us all year!!

[@carolhutchison222]

The moment driving in the Gator pointing out where the cut flower garden would be, etc. I could finally picture it all. Can’t wait to see it all come together!

[@ElderandOakFarm]

Even a video of you burning a pile of garden debris is beautiful 😍 with the lights & house in the background!

[@lolamclaughlin6560]

Thank you for relieving my mind about critters possibly being in the burn pile, you all think of everything and are so responsible. Take care and thanks for sharing your life with us.

[@gizziejubilee]

I kinda liked that raised bed at first but now seeing it gone I don't know what I was thinking looks so much better without it

[@lynnmariesullivan3699]

SO sweet! To reassure your fans about the wildlife in the burn pile. Another reason for thinking the world of you two!!

[@stephanieblume5448]

So fun seeing you wear the pink JD gloves - thanks!! I'm like you: "Oh but I really wanted to drive the tractor. See I even wore my JD gloves. Ha! Ha!" Love the drone shots and also riding along with you on the new road; really helped me visualize where you said everything is going to be on the land. :D Merry Christmas, Everyone!

[@PetraEmmy]

Merry Christmas!

[@annaraime3288]

1st - Laura looked so sad/disappointed when Arron said she really didn't need to use the tractor 🚜 2nd - I say relocate the larger of the two 1/2 circle concrete and add some plank seating on each end and turn it into a seesaw for Benjamin - lol Thanks for sharing and posting. Always Keeping the Faith 🙏❤🌼❤🙏

[@w.bovgvereav5761]

Aaron : Men's "SHOT PUT" Championship ... Right There !

[@InTheGardenWithClaudia]

😍 Wow! I know you guys still have to get rid of the concrete you removed, but that made a huge difference to that space! 🤩 It looks so much softer now. 🥰

[@marnimajor64]

Thank you, for checking for momma and babies. :) PS. You guys are doing a phenomenal job with your youtube channel. Thank you for doing it...I've learned soooo much!

[@davidawilliams252]

Your music choices are SO flipping good!!! Laura you have such a pretty smile. SO SO SO glad you got rid of that concrete ring. I too think that someone poured concrete and put lots of dirt around the tree. The tree looks to be too old and too big otherwise. GREAT JOB everyone.

[@melondykillian1571]

Totally an Aaron theme song moment missed...Ladies a and gentlemen the moment has come, Aaron's rock throwing talent..🤣😂😉

[@juliehinkel608]

I’m remain so impressed by all the Infrastructure you have managed to complete this years. You got a late start but you are having a very strong finish. Curling up with your new baby daughter all winter -- precious.

[@lindadaley7469]

I kept saying "use the bucket front" to get the concrete out. I'm glad you finally listened! lol! Benjamine must be in 7th Heaven with all the equipment around to watch!

[@pattyharris5140]

Absolutely love your videos. I start my day watching and getting inspired. I just started my garden two years ago and can’t tell you how much information and encouragement you have provided. I know the feeling of getting a big project underway, so exciting and rewarding. Congratulations Laura for knowing your limits while pregnant but still being able to do the things you can. The John Deere gloves were great. With everything you have going, it has inspired me to keep going in my own garden projects. Last year by this time, I was so burned out I just took the months of November thru February off. This year I keep seeing little project that will make a big difference next spring and are easier now than in the growing season. Thank you both for sharing your lives and teaching us novices about gardening.

[@karenmarie3326]

This is fascinating! I can’t wait to see the finished area in 2 years. We wouldn’t even imagine it once looked like this. It’s a wonderful project.

[@ElderandOakFarm]

Same! I can't wait!

[@elana81RDH]

Totally random side note. I bought a Garden Answer hoodie from you guys to give some extra support to your channel. I want to thank you for being a woman of class, for making quality videos and showcasing your beautiful life. You're a wonderful teacher, wife, mother and daughter. I have seen other gardening channels that have scantily clad women holding cucumbers suggestively trying to get more views and it sickens me. Thank you thank you thank you for being an upstanding human being!

[@nicoledahlke1011]

Why is it so satisfying to watch you guys break apart the concrete barrier? It all looks great. Can’t wait to see all the projects finish up.

[@allabiliychuk4781]

You guys are such hard working couple and absolutely deserve everything you got!!!! You inspire me with every video, such a joy to see the transformation!!! Blessings to you beautiful mama and your family!!!!

Laura, you were so adorable when you said," but I wanna drive the tractor " and at ~ 8 months pregnant jumping up into the JD, YOU GO GIRL!!!! YUP, thats the soil I deal with, all those rocks!! Anyway its looking good 👍 It must be so wonderful seeing your dreams come true! God bless you all ❤

[@mrbubba81]

Two big things I've been so excited to see...in the same video!! I can't imagine how excited YOU are! Yay!!

[@michellemarie8268]

I have always pictured the “formal garden area” as a kids area. It’s got those arches that remind me of going to an amusement park and it’s right by the barn so easy to store kid stuff. I just see a sand box with a big play structure and a giant chalkboard and hopscotch and all the fun stuff. Maybe some big tractor tires to climb on. A outdoor playhouse. A mini street to drive the battery cars on. Just a free for all zone for the kids to make memories and be creative.

[@Yrutnec1]

Felt like I was riding in the "BIG" machine with Chad ---- how exciting! LOL when you (Laura) disclosed you just wanted to drive the tractor --- that was so funny! All styled out in your PINK John Deere gloves.

[@karengraham5559]

I am just enthralled by this work, watching what it is and what it's going to be! Love it! Like to see things coming together, step by step. Thanks so much.

I lovvveeee this channel. I swear it’s so much fun to see what Laura and Aaron and the fam are up to daily. I look forward to it .

[@barbw.7183]

The first few minutes of this were the most interesting to me - with the camera/drone work and perspectives showing what dirt movers do, how they build a road, etc. Not something most people get to see. Thanks for showing that part of the project! This is so much fun!! :: watching this all come together, each step of the way.

[@derrongoodengardenandlifes8655]

When chores becomes fun. This is definitely something I would enjoy doing and just sitting back and watching it. It would be so much fun to drive that tractor.😊😊👏🏼👏🏼

Really cool watching all the progress on the new driveway. I bet Benjamin liked that! Wow so much work going on. 😂Aaron, men are always little boys at heart! Laura, I giggled when you sounded so sad at not getting the John Deere out 😂 glad you finally did. Every woman needs to drive the Deere when they have the gloves on!

Suggestion for the new road: put up a Do Not Enter sign on both side of the drive to keep people going left. On the opposite side of that road put a One Way sign. That will will help in keeping drivers going in the right direction.

I live in a town called Rockville and it is aptly named. Our area is full of glacial till and when I hit a rock while planting I never know if it is something that can be removed or just the 'tip of the iceberg' scenario! And this may be weird but I get great satisfaction just watching you guys dig holes without any frustrating obstructions *sigh*!

[@liveandlearn7642]

That's a burly old tree - all of those warty looking bumps have very interesting grain under the bark. My husband is a woodturner and I make lamps, so if that tree ever has to be taken out, I'll get in touch to see if you want us to make you a bowl or a lamp. We've never worked with mulberry, but generally even if the wood isn't good for turning, it can still be made into a gorgeous lamp.
