Playground to Japanese Maple Garden. Unbelievable DIY Backyard BEFORE and AFTER TRANSFORMATION

In 2021 we began a complete DIY landscaping project. From planning the space, to doing our hardscape, and landscape planting, George and I did it all together over the course of 2 years. In this video we show you the complete project. There is footage of where we started and how it ended. While this video focuses primarily on the infrastructure, hardscaping & French Drain in the garden, you can find videos of the planting of this space in my "Japanese Maple Garden Playlist":
• Japanese Maple Garden
We hope this video brings you inspiration for creating new gardens in your landscape, and encourages you to try some DIY landscape projects. Thank you so much for watching. - Steph 🌱(Gardening in Massachusetts zone 6b) #gardening #spring #perennials #plants #new

Hi Garden Friends! I hope you enjoy this transformation of our backyard garden. I have the following playlist that has all of the videos related to this new garden. Thank you so much for watching, and hope you all have a wonderful week! -Steph 🌱kzbin.info/aero/PLLIVyX7Y1HGGVkoCot1iHPgPAE50GcATl&si=4HU4eqjnZ-o3PMe2 Here's my Amazon Store Where You Can Find Many of My Favorite Garden Items 👉 amzn.to/49F9RTU

[@zoreslavazinczenko1060]

One word...STUNNING!!! (I need a "George" in my life!) 😊

[@toadstool5591]

Please get George what ever kind of gloves he wants NOW! No need to wait for a "special ocassion" to justify the purchase, just get them because he needs them now and you love him. The transformation was nice to see with all the steps involved. Sometimes people do not realize how hard gardening can be. You two work well together. I love watching your garden grow.

[@HookedandRooted]

Absolutely!! He can have any garden tool or glove he wishes, I couldn't have done that project without him. He's the bestest! Thank you so much💚

[@AliPillette]

❤❤

[@giseliapereira5914]

George has gloves…lol

[@bloom-chirp]

Thank you for not adding music over the top. I much prefer the sounds of nature & even the sounds of work to artificial music stuck in.

[@letmework6254]

It’s inspiring to see how well you two compliment each other. Lovely garden! Hope George is “ hooked “ now. ❤

[@catherine5465]

The work George does is so meticulous! Nice job! And that it came together slowly over time is such an incentive to dream of my own special place in the garden.

[@dianepeterson9033]

George does such a good job explaining the reasoning behind what he is doing and then showing the actual work. It looks so good. He seems to really enjoy spending time in the garden..mission accomplished, Steph!

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much Diane! 🥰

[@gertrudette]

I am so glad you did not put music in this. I really enjoyed hearing the birds sing as he worked.

[@Cottonstatecountry]

Dang, George! You’re definitely the work horse of that garden! It’s beautiful and you’ve done an amazing back breaking job! I know you must be so proud!

[@HookedandRooted]

He's a great help and hard worker, so grateful for him 💚 Thank you so much!

[@mfm1981]

Wow! Simply beautiful. George is the superstar. Now we want George in every video.

[@HookedandRooted]

I agree! I love when he agrees to be on camera with me 💚Thank you!

[@sammysworld5485]

Wow. Everyone needs a George around. That was labor intensive… great job! I can’t even get my husband to dig a hole. As a woman who has CFS, I’m proud to say I transformed my entire garden by myself. From lifting & placing rocks, laying pavers, digging, planting, transplanting & creating beds. My husband just enjoys my hard-work. So count your blessings Steph. You have a great man!

[@staceyallard2692]

I have been waiting for this video for so long.. it is absolutely amazing! GEORGE is the man! That was some hard work George, you should definitely be very proud of what you’ve done. Patience and persistence paid off ! The maples, the other plantings, the cobblestone, the pathway AND drainage are just beautiful! I was looking to see where the pagoda moved to after you got your mini boulder in there! Steph, you are definitely blessed! & your work as well has paid off also. Great job you two! Can’t wait to watch and see how everything looks during 2024’s season! You guys are among my favorite garden channels on YT. Thank you for sharing with us! 😊♥️

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Stacey! Thank you so very much for your kind words. I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Yes, it was a lot of hard work. But also so rewarding, and fun to do together. Lol the mini pagoda is currently overwintering in the shed. We bring in our little yard statues into the shed to keep them from cracking etc in the cold weather. I would love to get a bigger one at some point, I love the little pagoda. The stone was a great addition to the garden, George's persistence to move it paid off. Thank you so much for watching our videos, and for your wonderful comments. So glad to have you along 💚🥰

[@pj3341]

George !👏👏👏👏👏

[@kaya1460]

George is crazy talented and his attention to detail and patience is unmatched. I bet you guys love this space the most after dedicating so much time, effort and energy to the gorgeous garden bed.

[@stefmcclure9386]

Wow! It is absolutely beautiful! George did an amazing job on all those stones! ❤

[@gardenandjoy]

George is such a hard worker! I love that you shared a real-life timeline. Sometimes projects take years and that's okay! Especially with kids and budgets. I can't wait to see the garden come to life in spring. 😊

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Steph! He really is, we are lucky to have him. I try to share the realistic expectations of how long it takes to create gardens, especially when we do all of it ourselves in an effort to save money. It can be done, but takes time. The outcome is well worth it. Thank you so much for your comment, and for watching. We're almost there!! Only 21 more days until spring. The feeling is already in the air 💚🌱

[@sarahchristine546]

This is absolutely amazing and I love seeing a realistic timeframe for a major DIY project to be completed. It’s such an inspiration and a gorgeous result. Thank you for bringing us along for the transformation.

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much Sarah! I really wanted to show that part, that it takes time. When I was a newer gardener it wasn't so obvious that beautiful gardens take time to make and to mature. This often times makes the decision to start planting intimidating. My goal was to provide inspiration and encouragement. Thank you so much for your kind comment 💚🥰

[@vickimiracle5077]

The before and after is amazing.... It makes me wish my husband and I were younger.... So we could DIY more than we do. But so thankful that we are able to pace ourselves to do a little every year. Your video shows me we will get there. Lol. I love your maples.

[@HookedandRooted]

You sure can Vicki, slow and steady 💚 Thank you so much!!

[@deannachurch1103]

The Japanese Maple 🍁 Garden is simply stunning 🧡

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much Deanna! 💚

[@danakenoyer106]

Gorgeous outcome from some persistent, intentional labor. The fall colors are spectacular.

[@staceyallard2692]

Yes! They were, weren’t they! Just stunning!

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@theresaburg5881]

The garden looks great. George did an amazing job and I like that you showed how with a bit of patience, you can get the material for a fraction of the cost.

[@perryharris3171]

Love when guys get to do what they love outside!

[@Linda_Reed]

An absolutely wonderful transformation! Well done, bravo you two!

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much Linda! 🥰💚

[@sydneykasmar]

That was amazing to watch George. Who knew that a couple of Japanese Maples given as a gift would draw out of you so much interest, time and attention to all the needs necessary to create one of the nicest Japanese Maple gardens I've ever seen. Beautiful and masterful.

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much Sydney!

[@3menandalady273]

Lets make sure George gets some cat claw gloves for his garden helping this season Steph lol. Loved this video so much. You too make a fantastic team. Beautiful garden!

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so very much! Yes, cat claw gloves for the win lol

[@debbyL2210]

George is brilliant!!

[@angelasevier6520]

That is back breaking work. GEORGE❤

[@ann-marierobinson1861]

Hi from Faiehope Alabama Steph & George! What a beautiful job! I’ve been watching you for a couple of years & enjoy your channel so much! George is a natural on camera and in the garden! It’s 70 here today and I’m resisting the urge to run to the nursery! Happy Saturday! Ann Marie

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Ann-Marie! Thank you so very much for watching us since the beginning and for your kind words, we appreciate you being here. 💚 He really is so helpful, handy & handsome, I'm a lucky girl 🥰 Running to the nursery is always a good idea. I Have never been sad/bored/unhappy looking at plants 🌱😀Have a great weekend!!

[@richbishop7896]

Steph and George you made such an amazing transformation and I love seeing capable gardeners doing the hard work themselves instead of always hiring someone to do it. You must be so proud of your garden. Bonny

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Bonny! Thank you so much 💚

[@wilsons_acres71]

WOW! LOVE IT! Your husband did a beautiful job. It's wonderful to see him help you make your garden so beautiful.

[@missjenniferd1]

Great job both of you!!! It's great that your husband likes to do the garden work with you.

[@joellenjones3410]

I absolutely love your gorgeous garden! I can’t wait to see it transform into spring and summer this year! You have given me an idea to make a cobblestone pathway into my new refurbished garden area! Thank you for sharing again! We love your garden Channel!🌺🌸🌷🪴🌻 Here’s to spring...24 days! 🙌🏼🌈

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Joellen! Thank you so much! We're almost there!! Spring is just around the corner perfect time to pick up that garden project of yours💚

[@joellenjones3410]

@@HookedandRooted That will be my summer project! I have already started to search on marketplace for cobblestones low priced on a regular basis! I have expanded my garden in the backyard and incorporated an arch and I need a beautiful pathway from my backyard gate to the garden! I’m still hoping you will be able to show us how to sow seeds for pink Gomphrenas. I wonder if they could be sown directly into the garden after the frost is gone?

[@sheiladouglas5258]

Stunningly gorgeous! You all have worked hard on this garden. Congratulations!

[@terrycourtney8011]

George does fantastic stone work and he has a good strong back. Beautiful garden, I also love the combinations of Japanese maples and other plants. Great job to the both of you.

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much Terry! 🥰🍁

[@patriciaflores2776]

WOW WOW WOW STEPH & GEORGE the project turned out BEAUTIFULLY with all the BEAUTFUL MAPLES and plantings. great vid,sweet pictures before & after. Thank you both for sharing🍃🌱🌞

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much Patricia! Thank you for watching, and for your kind words 💚

[@jenniferhooks2454]

The transformation of the play area into the Japanese maple garden was amazing! George thought through all the steps of the project, and he worked so hard to complete it. Yes, definitely add some stones at the little drainage pipe exit. That Japanese maple garden looked so stunning in the fall in front of all the woodland trees! You guys did a great job! I enjoyed seeing all the parts of the project in one video, even though I had seen bits and pieces in the course of your other videos.

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much Jennifer, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 💚

[@curiouscat3384]

whooeee! That's tons of work. I wish I had a HoneyDo to help me. Let's all give kudos to landscape and masonry guys who do this for a living!

[@cherylt6888]

Wow! This video was very good at instructing step by step how we can do this ourselves. Both you and George do an excellent job at speaking slowly and clearly so we can follow along!

[@HookedandRooted]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!!

All I can say is WOW, how BEAUTIFUL IT CAME OUT!!!

Steph and George what a lot of work but so worth it. Your yard is beautiful. I love your videos.

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much! 🥰💚

[@lindastephens2969]

Wow. George is a keeper. Perfect work. Is he a landscaper or stone mason. He definitely knows what he is doing.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Linda! Thank you so much! George is actually a computer programmer, but you would think he moonlights as a mason right?! He is very handy, and while my father in law passed away many years ago, he was a stone mason and I think that's where George inherited the talent from and some of the tools, his dad 💚

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

It’s absolutely stunning George 👍 Well Done 🥰

Thanks so much Jasmine 💚

Hey Steph! I found you on youtube just as you two were starting this project, but watching the video seems to make the transformation that much more impressive! You two have done such a beautiful job and all on your own. George has some very impressive hardscaping skills! Well done! I Love watching your videos!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Jennifer! Thank you so very much!! He is pretty handy. I think he gets the skill from his dad who passed a long time ago, but happened to be a stone mason 💚

[@staceyallard2692]

I found her channel around that time also! lol & I’m so glad I did! 😊

[@melissadavis3814]

Thank you for documenting Steph & George. I’m in the same boat with out home being a custom build 6 years ago. The landscaping is a labor of love and takes years. This is something I would like to do and this will help me immensely in the planning and implementation going forward. Like George, my husband loves Japanese Maples so I just might borrow your genius idea to get him more involved. Everything looks beautiful and you both are doing an amazing job! ❤

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Melissa! It certainly takes time, and lots of patience, but the outcome is very much worth it 💚Congrats on your newer home and gardens, so much fun getting to slowly work on making your house a home with a garden you love. Yes, I agree on the JM's. They are beautiful trees, and they are easy to love and get addicted too. Enjoy your garden with your husband! 🥰🍁

[@LindaLeyble]

Wow! You are so lucky to have George as a husband/mason/engineer/genius! I would love to have some pathways and beds like this…but I’d either have to do it myself (and hopefully finish by the time I’m 80!) or pay someone to do it. I lost my engineer Jack-of-all-trades (who had better knees than me!) a year ago, so I’ve been doing all the garden work myself (with some bribing my son-in-law to help). Love all your videos. By the way - how I found you was from another garden KZbinr who suggested looking you up!

What a Fantastic Transformation ! I too am a Lover of Japanese Maples but only have a few due to full sun and heat! Loved that you guys were able to get such great finds of the stone . George truly had a Vision and made it come to fruition. Cannot wait to see it in all its glory in a few months! Thanks George and Steph another great video! ❤

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Jolinda! Thank you so much! I think we get away with it in this area, even though its still fairly sunny, because we're in a cooler zone. Some of them with the lighter leaves do still scorch as we get to the height of summer though. Hopefully over time as they acclimate and mature that will happen less. Finding the stone was hard work and took persistence, but we are so grateful for the end result. Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching 💚

[@DanaLynnette]

[@SAHamel_]

George is a pro, his work is so meticulous; done right and thinks of all aspects. Installing drainage was key and how he planned this out to where the flag stones were all level took much thought, work and patience. All and all, this is one excellent area. I love the trees. Hope you have linked the name of each. Thanks for making this video; have a good day.

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much!! I agree with you, he is really a hard worker with great attention to detail. So much so, that when he does something don't ever expect for it to fall apart. When we built our home, to save some money we installed our own tile backsplash in the kitchen. He did such a great job that 10 years later when we decided to install a bigger window in the kitchen (which he also did!), and used the opportunity to update the backsplash, he had to rip out all the drywall since the tile was installed a little too good lol. Thanks for watching, and have a great rest of your week!
