I LOVE THIS TYPE OF VIDEO! You should definitely do this more often with different type of front yards and different type of gardens style and themes.

[@richarddelange3336]

Greetings from Aruba 🇦🇼 😊. I’m getting ready to redo our front yard. I have it in my mind, but like to have it on paper to show my wife what i like to make out of it. 3:16

[@kristymh823]

KZbin just suggested your channel and am so impressed. What was KZbin waiting for? Your content is of great quality. I’ve been binging ever since. This episode was especially fun to watch. You have a new follower!

[@Damaris756]

Super helpful to see examples!

[@JordanLeigh]

I’ve been stumped about how to do my yard… I’ll probably submit a photo of my house as well!

[@christinarennich5092]

This is wonderful. Loved seeing the creative process. It would be great to see some native plants to help our biodiversity.

[@creationslandscapedesigns]

This was fun to watch.

[@carlaephotography7096]

Agree, with more design videos like this! I enjoyed seeing how you thought through the placements….and well, just ALL of it in this visual format! Thank you

[@AcuaTV]

I loved how it turned out and how easy you make it look. I’ll give it a try on my front yard that needs lots of love and attention

[@SomeCraftyChick]

I would love to see a video about removing lawn and planting in a front yard that has a slope.

[@LaiceePNW]

Same

[@ritikamehta9059]

Would love to see more videos like this!

[@sonialorenzo9223]

I love this exercise. While different than my front yard, your explanations help me think of my own possibilities.

[@wendy6710]

I really like what you did! I submitted a photo of my house! :)

[@kingsagenda]

This is great and I love your name. Unfortunately I got very frustrated trying to work with the site and could not get anything done 😞

[@Stiasteny]

Wow i love how you did this! Is it possible to make more? Thank you!! Also weirdly, I got ASMR tingles from some points in this video

[@Reuben-]

😲That was so cool! I've just started binge watching your videos for ideas on what to do to get rid of my lawn, but add some flowering cherry trees. Your videos have been very informative and so well presented. Thank you!!

[@elykj6539]

I've been thinking of adding a medium tree to my front garden for a while now. Thanks for the tip on putting it on the oppsite side to the garage. Now I have the location, I just need to finally decide on what type of tree.

[@KatSolovei]

I love you, Eve! 😊

[@jeansperry6353]

Very helpful ! Thank you.

[@smiththomas64]

This is great!

[@hannahwells9016]

Thank you so much for sharing this, it’s helped me so much. Xx

[@tobywinter1]

Love your videos. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

[@TimothyCHale]

Thanks Eve. Great demo

[@lm20210]

This is so cool and looks great!

[@user-ut4zw6so6o]

Thank you!

[@michellet1800]

love your videos! I'd love to see a video about how to identify weeds vs. non weeds. I'm finding it hard to find information on this topic. Is there a database somewhere with images of seedlings?

[@MajelCats]

We get a lot of trees like Mulberry, Sumac, and Maple that grow under our fences. And Poison Ivy vines and wild grape vines intertwine up the fence. We think the bird are eating the berries and dropping the seeds as they sit on the fences. What can be done?

[@AndHold22]

Love the video 👍 What hardiness zone was this in?

[@anitav7090]

nice app demo

[@777AndrewR]

Great video! What plants shrubs would you recommend for shady pine tree backyard?

[@pauletteworoniak431]

Love your video. The Simplescape did not work for me, trouble loading, I could not adjust size of plants, edit, etc. Are these options available only with the paid premium package?

[@EFrost-hb2cn]

I have a question? If you have plants and shrubs in your yard already, how would you deal with that? Would they be discarded or would you dig them up and replant them?

Summary What are the key design elements used in this front yard landscape? The key design elements used in this front yard landscape design include: 1. **Reducing the Lawn Size:** The design aims to reduce the size of the lawn while not completely removing it. 2. **Increasing Plant Density:** The goal is to create a denser, greener yard with multiple layers of plants. 3. **Incorporating Purple and White:** The client's favorite colors, purple and white, are featured in the design area. 4. **Placement of Large Trees:** A Japanese zelkova tree is strategically placed on the opposite side of the front door from the garage or driveway to balance visual mass. 5. **Use of Hardscaping:** Hardscaping materials are recommended for the narrow walkway area to make it easier to maintain and visually appealing. 6. **Selection of Plants:** Various plants like lavender, black lace elderberry, candytuft, hydrangea, and apple tree are chosen to create a visually appealing and low-maintenance landscape. 7. **Pathway Design:** A pathway is added along the side of the house to provide easy access to the garden and maintain a clean look against the house. These elements work together to create a visually appealing and functional front yard landscape design. How does the designer balance the visual mass of the garage/driveway with the placement of the large tree? The designer balances the visual mass of the garage/driveway with the placement of the large tree by following a landscape design rule of thumb. When installing a large tree in a front yard, it is generally recommended to place it on the opposite side of the front door from the garage or driveway. This placement helps the yard appear more balanced because the garage or driveway has a lot of visual mass. By placing a large tree with significant visual mass on the opposite side, it helps balance out the overall visual weight of the landscape. In this design, the large tree (Japanese zelkova) is positioned strategically on the opposite side of the front door from the garage or driveway to create a sense of balance and visual harmony in the front yard landscape. What are the benefits of using hardscaping materials in the narrow walkway area? Using hardscaping materials in the narrow walkway area offers several benefits in the front yard landscape design: 1. **Ease of Maintenance:** Hardscaping materials such as gravel or flagstones are easier to maintain compared to plants. They require less upkeep and do not need regular trimming or pruning. 2. **Durability:** Hardscaping materials are durable and can withstand foot traffic and environmental conditions. They provide a long-lasting solution for high-traffic areas like narrow walkways. 3. **Visual Appeal:** Hardscaping materials can enhance the visual interest of the space. They can add texture, color, and structure to the landscape design, creating a more visually appealing and cohesive look. 4. **Accessibility:** A hardscaped walkway makes it easier to access the garden beds and other areas of the yard. It provides a clear path for walking without damaging plants or grass. 5. **Preventing Soil Erosion:** Hardscaping materials help prevent soil erosion in high-traffic areas. They provide a stable surface that can withstand foot traffic without causing damage to the underlying soil. Overall, incorporating hardscaping materials in the narrow walkway area not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the landscape but also improves functionality and reduces maintenance requirements.

Are there also free programs online lile this?

[@kristinaorton1047]

What about winter interest ?

[@Coco-yi3uk]

What is the name of the program you are using?

[@ChrisstinaMorgan]

It's so interesting to see comments. I would be extremely upset to see such design in my yard but so many people liked it.

[@lorilusk5811]

I moved into a house that the grass has been sprayed and killed how do I revive the soil so I can plant healthy grass?

[@ruthteunissen282]

May I ask what computer design app are you using?

[@carolinemiller2211]

It’s in her description. Simply Scapes

[@water2chick]

Did you go to school for landscape architecture, or holticulture?

[@Kathy0118]

Hi, do you accept cooperation? About testing our smart sprinkler controller and making a video for us.

[@rensin7740]

Great valuable content, but you speak way too fast to keep up with what you're saying. Have to manually keep pausing the video.

[@ChrisstinaMorgan]

Just change video speed to 0,75 (it's just 3 clicks). I actually was watching on 1,25 speed:)
