So sad that Dirty Business is no longer on the telly. Fantastic show. Such amazingly talented men. Love their work.

[@sharonwebb945]

Who thought one could love boulders 😍😍😍

[@davidcattin7006]

This is so cool! Now I want some boulder benches!

[@judyfenske1429]

Finally, different plants! Butterfly plants can be trimmed to be a bush or left to go tall. I prefer bushes.

[@jhutch1681]

Love the zig-zag walk combined with the circular hedge. The garbage and recycle storage is brilliant! Glad there's still lots of grass and planting, and no arbour! I would love to have seen the steps done too.

[@pbenson56fran]

One of my favorite shows to watch.

[@medlc8497]

love how kid-friendly this is while also looking beautiful!

[@sheelfjohnson]

It is, except yews are pretty poisonous, so I'm surprised they didn't pick something that wasn't poisonous 😬

[@weatherwitchandfelinefamiliars]

This was absolutely gorgeous! Those stone boulders were beautiful and inviting and I love that they were in shade so you could sit out there with a cuppa and be cool. Sit on them or sit against the one on the lawn. Really fabulous design 💖

[@AbodeLDS]

Thank you so much!

[@evafort9441]

Great episode. Kid-friendly design.

[@casandradickinson8518]

You guys nailed it again😃👍

[@sunshine-db2zm]

We need more landscape and garden shows

[@jacquelinek22]

Omgosh you boys are hilarious.. Where have you been all my life? 😇 I very much enjoyed watching the designs... .

[@brendanlaird5831]

So we’re not going to talk about how every house on the street has nothing but dead grass at the beginning, and then looks amazingly green by the end?

[@sinntax1647]

That’s seasonal adjustment bro! 👌🏻

[@aloevera7422]

plus the magic of video color grading

[@debbieidi5517]

LOVE this design!

[@gardensbyjudylevy8031]

Great job, love the circle and the bit of privacy the yews will provide in the area for a picnic etc...

[@nancyfahey7518]

Another great show.

[@Eva-ml6qr]

Love, love, love to have found you!!! So inspiring!!

[@svietka202]

absolutely stunning

[@kathim231]

First time I've seen your show. I love it

[@-gina1114]

Beautiful!!!

[@sandhiller49]

Nice design and ended up being beautiful, love her new hairdo too

[@rebeccavalicoff1581]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@glgardener4972]

Excellent. Love it.

[@katevorster8484]

Well done you guys!!!👍. You’ve done yourselves proud!

[@shinyhappypeople9043]

The stone cutting dust causes silicosis, which can lead to the death of the tradesperson cutting it within a couple of years. Having another worker hosing the stone as it cuts will not only save complaints about dust and dirty windows, it will prevent silicosis from forming in the stone cutters lungs.

[@sinntax1647]

Right! I couldn’t believe they didn’t have a misting system setup!

[@dewbottle]

Only thing I would not like is the step off the path to the sidewalk ;)

[@Evan1060]

Love it! Once again. Thanks for sharing.

[@sinntax1647]

Wouldn’t love to see this one revisited!

[@arlenehutchinson9259]

Mya the winner 🏆 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 the hardscape was amazing once again. I would love to see the 3d drawing of the planting plan so we can finish the dream.

[@alysonmel3681]

Nice work!

[@mariannewilliams138]

Beautiful

[@sharonmcmann-morelli4896]

looks amazing. i am buying a new house and it has absolutely no curb appeal, wish you were in my area😍

[@paulet990]

Nice!

[@lvhnii2153]

The music is not it

[@coolpersonlolollloll3540]

Love the design!👍🏻

[@AbodeLDS]

Thank you! 😊

[@hughkirk3946]

Looks like lots of opportunities to work your magic around the neighborhood, guys! Not much going on with other houses where landscaping is concerned for sure .

[@chalice3571]

and how much all this cost in $ may I ask. I do love it, maybe even to the point of having it as a mortgage. Love it... Thank you for your inspirations.

[@sexyfatbastid]

It's probably between $10K to $15K

[@ef5842]

I like your show. Although you keep the camera moving. I wish to have the end result stationary long enough to remember the outcome, and enjoy the new look just as any passerby would.

[@user-qt6mm9gg5w]

The camera moves too quickly. Made me dizzy.

[@ruthportway5198]

You can slow the video down by clicking on the 3 dots in the top right corner and clicking on the speed setting

[@richardchoromanski]

Where are you located I would love to you guys see my backyard

[@kmw4359]

It’s very nice and tasteful, but I see where the client was going with the request for the side walkway ... I wouldn’t like to give up the ability to easily put out the garbage and recycling bins to first having to pull them over that walkway with vinca in between the slabs and then pull them over the grass. Aside from the hassle of transport, it will make ruts in the lawn during warmer months, and will be hazardous in the winter time. Also, those dogwoods are way too close to the house.

[@Autism_Forever]

Seems to me that the only times they get it perfect is when client is pressuring them :) When client is nice and chilled like this one, they essentially do not listen to the client.

[@sunshine-db2zm]

What were the plants you added?

[@rr2402]

Use a drone shot to give a good overall picture from above rather than street view

[@kathyrichard6574]

Most of us will be on the street, not in a drone.

[@gisawslonim9716]

Unfortunately, with such a trendy garden the house itself looks even worse than it did with the old non-designed garden.

[@sharonhinds4808]

You had me till Norway Maple. Not invasive in your neck of the woods?

[@dellamonk6792]

It’s a beautiful, friendly design, but the background music is annoying AF!

[@sbhimji4568]

I agree. Their taste in music is odd. I think they're Canadians. Maybe for them, any combination of sounds is better than walking around with a bunch of loonies and toonies in their pockets, jingling around.

[@dellamonk6792]

@@sbhimji4568 Lol! I’m also Canadian. I don’t think nationality plays a role here; just poor taste, or maybe inexperience when it comes to making videos. Do you know many Canadians?

[@BeKemeFeqadu]

Where are you guys located ? I would love to have my front yard done too

[@akashmukhopadhyay7992]

They are in Toronto

[@BeKemeFeqadu]

@@akashmukhopadhyay7992 oh ok , thanks

[@nancibishof6462]

I would love to be able to full screen your video but it goes grainy and out of focus.

[@59lilac]

I wouldn't put such a big stone around small children's play ground.

[@sue6326]

Fun and nice little front yard design but like others said the music is a bit irritating.

[@panuwatdaoruang55555]

The owner didn't know the truth. Justin Bieber looking for you.

[@mauraswenson8892]

Yikes! 3 Butterfly Bushes? They get way too big for where they are planted! Witch Hazel too? And then a Dogwood right in front of the porch?! This "medium" (tiny) yard is going to be SO overgrown in no time without constant careful pruning. Stupid plant selections.

[@evafort9441]

I prune my butterfly bushes. I have 7 in different colors. They draw the butterflies and bees and bloom for a long time when you cut the spent flowers.. They are beautiful every year.

[@jeanettepappas8060]

Love the design but why does every show think they have to be funny!

[@rexrad9735]

Because people like to laugh. Joy is good for you.

[@maxwalchli5093]

Why oh why does everyone have to play such terrible music on every program we watch it’s just terrible I hate it so just stop watch or turn off the sound what then I miss the instructions hate hate the music

[@shastac1396]

💯! The music, especially at the beginning, is the WORST😖

[@valeriebickford3329]

It's like slow water torture.

[@deesott5123]

Jesus loves you and died for our sins amen beautiful day to serve the Lord Jesus the joy of the Lord Jesus is my strength

[@aboukirman3508]

I liked her hair long...just saying...

[@ede-jomadden8182]

background (REALLY?) music is the MOST ANNOYING I've heard in ages. Is this a TV show? Can't imagine how people tolerate it.

[@bettysmi7009]

Cut the background music!!! Adds nothing and is annoying!!!!! Every video!!!!!!

[@judyfenske1429]

Still have the horrible music.
