I FINALLY found a video where someone alternates the bricks to avoid those triangular gaps!! It's common sense to me, glad I'm not the only one.

[@bryanpietrzak9557]

Thank you Doc for all of your videos. Trying to learn and do everything that you are saying for our lawn. Definitely work in progress. The brick boarder that you are using definitely makes your yard look so much nicer. Take care!

[@mercedesbecraftin913]

This is my first time really attempting landscaping and you’ve helped me so much! You got straight to the point and made it simple

[@carolrose4784]

I’m intrigued by your method of edging! Looks awesome!

[@sergandtash]

Thanks Doc! This is very helpful. We just moved to Texas from Washington state and have Bermuda which I'm not familiar with so your lawn guide & videos have been a blessing! Looking forward to getting our lawn some nutrients. I will try this edging technique as well :)

[@daveshangar6820]

Wow! You've done a great job on this house Doc!

[@keystonekuts302]

I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Just made me make the decision to go ahead and add stone to my own flower bed.

[@TheOfficialGameBoy4]

Mighty fine lawn you got there!!! I like how its not cluttered with plants in your beds, great job!!

[@sheba6779]

Thanks Doc for taking the time to give us great advice, take care 👍🏼

[@daddykiller5835]

Wow! That's a huge piece of property!! Absolutely beautiful!! Looks like a lot of work, but definitely worth it! I love seeing home owners taking pride in their homes. Great tip on the edging, I'm going to do mine, just been too lazy, now I have encouragement after watching your videos. Thank you.👍

[@albert333pool]

It came out real subtle and nice! What a beautiful home!

[@WeatherNut27]

Looking awesome! The border and the lawn. Nice work and video. Thanks!

[@devonbradley4372]

This was just what I have been looking for. Thanks. Lovely garden and I love the bird song.

[@chelseab.1206]

I love your house and your yard! It looks like a fun and tranquil place to hang with family! And I think that’s part of why we do all this lawn stuff 😋

[@moidrissi6426]

Doc your are the best , thank you so much for simplifying.

[@lilflexlewis5802]

Thank you for this video. I'm going to do it the same way. You made it so easy to follow and do. Appreciate it

[@hyg44gu54]

Just subscribed. You have everything that I’m looking for to complete my many projects. Thank you, your work speaks volume.

[@lesw3803]

I love the scale of those stones. Really nice

[@ninawade3055]

Your yard looks so nice, good job. Lots of work, but it pays!

[@BahamianLily]

[@tesspoole1513]

Thank you. Very helpful and your video is not boring at all.

[@SurfDan5]

Thanks Doc! Great tutorial, I just finished all of my beds.

[@laurelcallaway6968]

That looks beautiful with the stones!

[@daviddelgado3034]

Beautiful lawn Doc👍🏼

[@wadesaunders583]

Nice tidy and easy. Thnx. Just what I was looking for

[@Dutch054]

I like the solar lights. How about a link or a few minutes on those. Thanks, nice video Doc

[@rochellehendrix2267]

Doc this was a great video. I looovvve your yard. I didn't know what you were talking about when it came to what you use on your lawn, but I loved listening. I will be laying edging on a small area of my front yard and you make it look so easy. Thanks for the tips. Btw..I don't know if anyone has ever told you, but you look like Pernell Roberts (Adam Cartwright from Bonanza) when he was a little older. Keep up the good work

[@repnzscasb560]

Excellent Video, Doc, you should do those more often

[@michaelfielding6943]

Brilliant video. Your lawn is quality. Love the pool too! We don't get the weather here in Ireland I'm afraid!☹

[@thomasdreas4122]

Edging looks good. Like to see a video on your outdoor lighting you have.

[@wanttoplae]

Looks really nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@michaelfisher7835]

I got rid of my edging last year. Got tired of the freeze/thaw cycle pushing it out of the ground. So I went with a live edge. Will see how that works out for now.

[@maryhansen7021]

absolutely beautiful!

[@larryhayes1446]

You have a very nice yard and I love your back yard

[@4ndy123]

Love your garden!

[@anmcc171]

This was a big help! Thank you!

[@MyOdette123]

I am new to this but this looks so easy to do, thanks for sharing

[@maryhansen7021]

that looks nice and is such a logical approach. i find I can kill weeds with boiling water so I can avoid using herbicides

[@jdc212]

Thanks for specifically addressing fescue! Most of your info applies across the board but just the same thanks.

[@drumer4life21]

Looks clean and professional bud. Great work!

[@sbrown3248]

What a wonderful video. I enjoyed watching it and just subscribed. I am going to attempt to do the side of our house with a flower bed. I am doing this from scratch and think I can complete the task as you listed everything I need to get started. By the way, you have right to brag about your grass Doc. It looks amazing! Hoping you will share some grass tricks in your upcoming videos :-)

[@trevormcmanis]

Thank you for sharing…. Beautiful home 🏡

[@onekittyhawk63]

The best Bermuda grass I have ever had was Zoysia. Everyone who stepped on it couldn't believe how thick it felt to them. It was like carpet with a thick undermat. You could not pull the blades apart and see the gound. Now I have moved and have a hybrid Bermuda. It's nice, but it's nothing like Zoysia.

[@celaine2178]

I am jealous 😩such a lovely lawn.

[@janicewoods3072]

Your place looks beautiful.

[@TheEthNick]

Just found your videos in the last week. You're a champ, mate. Love the open back yard & that pool! Was hoping to grab the solar lights you recommended but they don't deliver to Australia.........I'll keep lookin! Cheers.

[@shooterssecrets3921]

PgF Complete really good stuff! Doc is the man!

[@mdarks4117]

Beautiful property! I recently used the beige color of the stones u used for the border! Look great with triangular gaps side by side, or gaps at all 😬😬

[@pbenga]

Your grass is amazing

[@jacquibishop4189]

Your yard is beautiful ✨✨✨

[@julievalencia8633]

The reading on my phone said "human char". Guess we've come a long way since animal fertilizer. Magnificent lawn. So jealous!

[@ninemilliondollars]

I'm doing mine now and I like the Landshark edging. However, my process has to be different because I have a different situation. I've roto-tilled my garden bed but still have some hardpan soil right where the edging goes. That requires soaking that area to soften it before I can get a section of edging hammered into the ground. I marked a wooden stick with a 2" indicator so I can quickly hold it up against the edging and verify it's at the depth I need. Also my bed is lower than the grass, unlike yours, so my interlocking stones I've chosen have to be placed between the edging and the grass. This requires me to set the edging a precise distance from the grass using a several stones as a guide. Then remove the stones and hammer the edging down. After that, I permanently set the stones in place, leveling them also. It's slow work in my situation and will take about 2-1/2 days to do 84 feet. I want to thank your for the video because it's the best solution I've found while trying to solve a larger problem of raising the bed with more soil and putting weed-preventer fabric over it and then red mulch. The edging allows me to increase the soil depth and raise the level next to my concrete basement walls. This will help direct water away from the home and reduce the amount of water my sump pump has to discharge from the basement drains.

[@billbailey4943]

Hey Doc, put down the same Lowe’s block stones about 5 years, love the look and ease of maintenance. My goal is to get my lawn looking like yours and I’ve got along way to go! 🥴

[@xzytqweo3538]

Thanks for sharing, handsome! Looking good.

[@flch95]

I’m envious of your lawn. I have awful St. Augustine grass.

[@parajeeper]

Looks great!!!!!!

[@Wakeywhodat]

Very nice, you also gave me an idea to reshape my bed like yours on the back corner of your house. I think I’ll use these stones as well, I considered hiring someone to put down formed concrete but the cost is likely a nonstarter. Both versions of plastic edging I’ve used has been a disaster.

[@flch95]

I used this exact stone as well. Slightly different approach but similar outcome.

[@theropesofrenovation9352]

It's beautiful!

[@melekalikimaka8222]

I love how you admire your lawn LOL if you don’t love it, you won’t treat it with love

[@simoncolvex]

Great garden, really nice pool. Shame England doesn't have the weather!

[@kimberlycates-meraz9921]

I like your method, others are using concrete to set their stones, I prefer the simplicity of yours.

[@dadwichert]

Looks Good, Doc (y)

[@debbiesineath1952]

Looks good!

[@waleskanieves6095]

Sooo cute!

[@aquienpuedainteresar4188]

I usually prefer natural edges but this looks good and simple

[@rhalama1]

Fantastic job on your lawn. My only problem is I don't want to start cutting my lawn April 3rd !!!!!!! Yours looks fantastic

[@MrJkgrice71]

Thanks Sir for the video. I was wondering about placing blocks against the concrete leading to the front door? I have a slope going away from the house and the flower bed bark I’m using drains back in the concrete during heavy rains.

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

Nice job.

[@flosifa5]

Haha! I was eating lasagna while watching the videos 😆😆😆.You always give us great tips. Thank you DOC 😊

[@pabadear]

Awesome video! My backyard is a mess and looking to add some visual appearance by adding edging stones where I can. I saw some comments in other videos that to properly do this, more digging to dump broken stones or rocks first, followed by sand, then the stone edging is the proper way to do this to avoid things shifting over the years. Is this correct? What is truly the correct way, doc? Thanks!

[@stephenlennartz3466]

Love the choice of stone! You mention that you got these at Lowes. Do you recall what brand/model? Exactly what I'm looking for. Many thanks.

[@SuperTA329]

Goodmorning Doc

[@RaulSachsCarrillo]

Looks way better!

[@debrapearse5116]

Beautiful 👍🏽🇨🇦

[@jihun-garden]

Good idea!

[@nopenope2534]

You're making some great video's Doc! Wondering what state and area this is. Curious how regional differences would affect your Bermuda lawn and oh yeah its good man.

[@charlesbvc]

I’ll just caution that in climates like mine (zone 7) that about 3 years after installing plastic border like this, it will pop up and pull away at the junction connectors from freeze thaw cycles. I was told would happen by a pro landscaper but I thought that if I buried it well and used pins, it would keep in place. Not the case. I’ll be moving to the pliable aluminum boarder this year. I love the paver idea because it allows you to run a mower wheel along the bed over the pavers. It’s just the plastic bits I’d reconsider.

[@billyrayband]

That is still a pain to mow around and roundup stops growth for a about a week, especially with the cracks between rocks. I would just pour pea gravel along border, so it can be easily sprayed with roundup extended control a couple times a year, and its easy to mow without messing it up..

[@HammerRocks]

Nice work, and the lawn is looking great. Though it's so weird seeing a pool without any fencing. In Australia, it's a law requirement that every pool has to be fenced off, and requires a self-closing child-proof locking gate(s).

[@candyestes1226]

Very nice 👍🏻

[@gombert07]

Thank you.. 👍🏻 and subscribed

[@fernandovaldez9481]

That's what you call a unicorn backyard in California...nice yard!!

[@joe7665]

looks nice

[@randykernus8332]

Hi Doc, is it ok to use the green Lazer with the liquid pre emergent spray?

[@kcos129]

You mentioned that you used the small stone for a $1.38, but you linked to the larger one that sells for $2.00. Which one did you use?

[@jadesothermimi]

So much easier than using concrete like other videos!

[@Frankengruvin]

Was that a red dragon japanese maple I saw in the background around the 2:15 mark? We just re-did all our front landscaping and put one of those in ourselves. I also used the same blocks for my ending, but I built it as more of a retaining wall-lite. Just a shallow trench with a couple of inches of #89 granite, tamped and stacked. I terraced it out so it's level all the way across, stepping down or up as the slope changes.

[@benmajerus1322]

Hi Doc, great videos. Just a thought.....wanted your feedback, if you place the stone behind the plastic edging do you think you will get let’s weeds between the stones?

[@luusid]

Did you use black mulch or a dark brown? It looks great and would like to do something similar with my yard this year.

[@raulsanchez4493]

You could also use Ironite. That makes it super green

[@hoodoovoodooyoodoo]

My dandelions are doing great this year!

[@MikeBee77]

Looks really nice and great idea. I appreciate the video!! I liked everything except the RoundUp poison, I would use something like Bonide DeadWeed Brew, or you could also use D-Limonene based products to kill vegetation too, works really well👍🏻 … thank you!

[@upintheair88]

Just bought a house front lawn and yard are a mess. Can I or should I lay pre emergent with fertilizer?

[@baims8367]

Doc Hi sir love your vids. ? For ya i just dis a complete renovation with p5 perennialRye turf blend seed. Yard looks great how ever i did lose some grass due to some major rain storms recently and w the yard already full of water from the renovation it just couldnt hold that much water. Sucks but i was going to do aeration and top dressing along with 1 more over seeding, my ? For u tho is what type of fertilizer or booster can / should i use w this top dressing and seeding?? Thank you so very much sir. God bless. Brian

[@Curt49]

The only problem I have with those blocks, is the gaps between them on the grass-side starts growing grass (or weeds), and the trimmer can't really get at it due to not having a smooth edge to cut along. Do you get in there close with some roundup to prevent that?
