Choosing Landscaping Plants That Speak to You And Your Yard | Done-In-A-Weekend Projects: Layer Up

In this Exmark Done-in-a-Weekend project video, we’ll examine the selection and installation of supporting plant material, a logical first step in moving beyond the lawn to create the landscape you’ve always dreamed of.
Unsure about what plants will best complement your property? If so, this video will shed light on the best practices and key considerations you should be mindful of:
- Picking plants that are adaptable to your yard’s specific sun, soil and water conditions
- Choosing the right-sized plants for the space you’ll be working in
- Selecting plants that vary in form, size, color, and leaf structure to maximize your planting bed texture
- Composing your beds-like an artist would a painting-with foreground, middle ground and background plantings
- Placing, and spacing, your plant material so they will grow together in drifts and not a series of individual plants

So informative. I wish I viewed before I started my landscape project.

[@iplaystore7953]

Nice.

[@susiefitzsimmons1147]

I love my Xmark mower. It is WELL over 20 years old! We have used it hard mowing on two different farms, through brush, small trees and various other abuses, and it was used commercially before we obtained it in 2000! The video doesn't really tell me anything I didn't already know, but how about giving an old lady a new Xmark mower? They are the best but ours is starting to show it's been used and abused!

[@user-pl4eu5jc5w]

Why wasn't the root ball loosened to help encourage the roots to grow in the planting bed?

[@jacobgiraldo2555]

maybe they want them small until they die slowly in a couple of years

[@debibarrsecondino9099]

[@therussells3086]

I just want to know exactly what to plant in my backyard

[@rociotapia2466]

YESSS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@IrvingNolasco]

I believe if you go to any nursery they’ll be able to tell you what grows best in your area

[@pennyk1943]

From my experience nursery staff will say everything what we have here grows in our area. What I need and I would pay for the advice, how to group the plants . It sounds easy but not so. My garden has evolved many times because I just couldn’t get it right and now it looks like🤦‍♀️. I have problem with clay soil and terrible drainage. Anyone know any plants that like to live in a swamp??? I need more than a raised bed. A mountain.

[@prestonthrow5227]

A plant.

[@piggypuddles813]

Me too! I just want someone to tell me what to buy and where to put it 😫 I’m clueless

[@SterianAlinaNicoleta]

BEAUTIFUL GARDEN FAMILY MY FAMILY : DAD, MOM, SISTER, ME

[@JacquiQ]

I wish you had said what the plants were you had there ? TY

[@prestonthrow5227]

I’m really wondering how to plant a massive special donkey tree. It grows about 30 feet tall. And it smells like a donkey.

[@stefanmitrovic973]

This was great, been searching for "garden landscape photos" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Giyily Landscaping Yatty - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my neighbour got excellent success with it.

[@tczephyr3665]

You didn’t “scuff up the “rootball” to allow the roots to grow out. Is that idea outdated now?

[@jenevans9004]

It’s argued in the gardening community if it’s more harmful then good. I think the rule of thumb is to only do it if it’s severely root bound and the roots need retraining, otherwise it’s very shocking for healthy plants and more harmful then helpful. You’ll notice that that plant was not root bound so I think that’s why he didnt

[@dianakarenvelez9812]
