It looks like you have heavy clay hard pan soil. I would incorporate gypsum. Within a year it will be friable.

[@homeandgardenwithanna]

@@patriciacole8773 Thank you for that tip!

[@patriciacole8773]

@@homeandgardenwithanna That soil has had a lot of heavy machinery during the building. Very compacted.

Gardening is so therapeutic. Instead of talking with a therapist, you talk with God during the process & in the end you have something of lasting beauty. Tyfs! You both did a beautiful job. I subbed because I'm excited to go along this journey with you!

[@HandcraftedintheFoothills]

@@homeandgardenwithanna Lowe's carries it and it's inexpensive. You want this because it keeps the clay from compacting and forming a bowl

[@Margot17gardens]

Very nice of you to consider your neighbors. I cannot put plants on some of the fence on our side because their bushes are growing through the bottom on our side. Plus they planted invasive lilies that are now popping up on our lawn.

[@homeandgardenwithanna]

Oh no! The one neighbor where we planted the maples has their fence right on the property line. They didn't add a back gate so they walk through my yard to maintain their property behind the fence. 😩

[@heidishumblehome2178]

[@Dojoju]

Your video was lovely, and so is the space you created. I'm also new to the south. I purchased a Hopi Crape Myrtle, and the Japanese Beetles had a field day. I used neem oil. It worked but took a few applications. But I was excited to hear you say that you used sevin dust. I'll be trying that next year if they come back.

[@homeandgardenwithanna]

Those little suckers! I'm happy you're need oil worked. I jave blooms! I'm so thrilled!!! Next year I'll probably net it!

[@Dojoju]

I also have some blooms. I was wondering if it would. I just got it in May. And I never thought to net it. That would also keep the wasps away.🙂I'm so glad I came across your video.@@homeandgardenwithanna

[@donnaolson922]

Very pretty. Not going to lie…trying to wrap my brain around spending money on sod to then remove it! I also love privets. You won’t have a walkway in a few years though. Having a fence there already (privacy) and it being a walkway, the boxwoods would be a much better size for that area. Lots of hard work y’all did there! Looks very nice.

[@homeandgardenwithanna]

I suppose it's hard for others to understand. However, I'm happy I did it this way as I did change my mind on garden design. So had I left tge original design open I would jave been unhappy. But I totally get it! ☺️
