EXTREME BACKYARD PATIO MAKEOVER | DIY | UNBELIEVABLE TRANSFORMATION!😱😱

Hi Bonita's,
In this House To Home series I decided to give my Backyard a total transformation, and I must say it looks absolutely stunning. I wanted something that was cozy, relaxing but yet inviting, and since I love to entertain I decided to create an outdoor lounge and dinning area that is quiet cozy and relaxing especially during these summer and fall nights.
I hope this video inspires you to work on your patio as well. Please sit down relax and watch me get my hands dirty and transform this space into an absolute dream.

[@labelledujour5855]

I would recommend in the near future whenever you are planting, before adding the weed stopper, add some news paper first then add the weed stopper you will never have to pull weed again.

[@ms.one-town901]

Great suggestion. I read about that and saw it on one of the HGTV shows!! 👊🏿👊🏾👊🏽

Will definitely do that next time

Pro tip….. thrift shop for furniture before buying from a regular retailer their are a bunch of hidden gems

[@meliw4142]

Beautiful job! PLANT TIP: 1st mix your potting soil and bottom soils together. Then add some "peat moss" to loosen the soil. This will give the plants roots room to comfortably grow. 2nd. Please remove some of your top rocks from around your flowers. The sun heats up your concrete slab, top rocks and pavers. Heated together they act like mini ovens that fry your plants. Lastly, try desert or succulent plants they will be more drought tolerant.

[@claudiefurgus3981]

Wow! Thank you for sharing this information. Will definitely do this.🤗👍

[@toril9722]

What if using mulch? I’ve seen people use pre-emergent to kill weeds then putting topsoil and mulch.

[@jeannebean1959]

Plant flowers in the evening....the coolest part of the day. Plant early spring before it gets hot! Water, water, water!! It turned out lovely!! Very nice!!!

[@cynatabonita]

Sounds great!

Great job I'm a do it yourselfer woman too, created a fireplace area myself stained pool deck pressure wash, we may be woman but God made us 💪 strong my next project is creating a cobblestone apron for my driveway and putting g blue stone gravel down, it's hard work but you save soo much money doing it your self ! Beautiful job 👏!!

[@honeyisnatural5]

Ok so encouraged. I wish this didn’t excite me so much but the fact that a woman is doing this completely alone. I’m so motived. See my husband doesn’t want to participate at all. So I figured I’d hire a team but now I’m encouraged to do some of this on my own. And knowing him, he’ll be so proud of me that he will jump in and help me once I start. I love him with his cheap grumpy self. Thanks for the video sis. I’m gonna play my HER playlist and get started.

[@hausofrlateish]

I am head over heels in love with your transformation. I love how you created two separate areas. One for dinning and the other for relaxing. Plus painting the fence just upgraded the entire look of the yard. Love, love, love it!

[@carolyngipson6250]

You did a good job painting the fence. And the workers did a great job on the ground and the gazebo. You did a great job on the plants too. Everything looks great.

[@2Ryled]

The weed stopper doesn't do much. As mulch breaks down, the weeds have something to grab onto. I put cardboard or a nice layer of newspapers down, then mulch over. Worms lov it. I put in a new strip garden in back yard with perennials. I picked up some of the old degraded newspapers. Tons of worms. Plants looked lush * beautiful.

[@supersweetmii]

AMAZING , so inspiring that you did it all BY YOURSELF! I say it cost 18 thousand dollars.. Good Job!

[@goinnatural38]

This is my 1st video of yours and I am IN LOVE with this transformation!! I’m going to say you easily spent $10,000. The concrete work alone had to be a lot. Then the gazebo. All the different furniture. The egg chairs. Fire pit. Flowers. Plants. The stains….you hit every detail possible in that yard! You are indeed an inspiration!!! Tysmfs

Garden Soil mixed with Potting mix along with some Black Cow. Mix all three and dig out all that muck. Make the hole relatively large and use only the mixture and water every day for 2 weeks.

[@secretheiress]

Looks so good! So sophisticated! The transition from day to night is very romantic, you did an excellent job!

[@ChrystalClear]

My advice to you, make the holes for the plants much deeper(put the roots in darkness), then put water in the holes so that the roots can make their way (move) deeper into the soil. Also, if the plants need partial sun and they are getting too much, they will not survive. Love the fence color and all you created.

[@vickimarshall2942]

It’s just beautiful. Nice job! The hard work paid off!

[@BritgirlTX]

and this is why we never got a house in an HOA. You are paying the mortgage ... not them. You can still live in a wonderful neighborhood without an HOA. FYI weed barrier is a good preventative but it won't get rid of the weeds completely. Your yard looks great!

[@negrettahughes550]

I'm so glad I found your channel! This diy make over is Dreamy! I absolutely love the concrete and rock combo 👍🏽🔥

[@paydelady]

the soil out here in Texas has to be mixed up for anything to grow. dig your hole wider and deeper and add compost to the soil, when you take the plant out of the bucket fluff out the roots a lil bit before planting, hope this helps. you did a amazing job, love it

[@beverlylee-thompson5417]

Beautiful yard! As far as the plants are concerned, they might have died as the roots could have been root-bound. I did not tell if you roughed up the roots a little before placing them in the holes but it did not seem so. As you mentioned Houston heat is ruthless and the yard seems to get a lot of sun with little shade, so watering daily if not twice a day is key until plants are well established. Better luck next time!😊

[@cynatabonita]

We have also done out garden this summer by doing a raised two tier decking and have used Slate colour also, but ours has turned out a dark grey and I've used the colour Daisy ( white) for all the posts that go upwards and its so fresh, just need to finish the roof to the top tier( a living roof with plants for insects and bees). For your plant did you put any bone meal in the bottom of hole spread the roots a little on the root ball and water in really well. You've made a lovely job well done you. Xxx
