How to Landscape a Small Urban Yard | This Old House

[@defdogg2951]

I keep watching these episodes and can't help but think, I need these guys to spend a whole week with me at my house.

[@johnelona14]

I've been a builder for many years and have seen quite a fair bit of sheds. The plans in ryan's package kzbin.infoUgkxB7IXYxLzb_Ichhe45zM3Im5xfEiSp9vB have some of the nicest looking sheds i've seen in a while.

[@nicholassmith82]

I'm not going to lie, that's a spectacular intimate outdoor space. Well done.

[@andybridge3637]

Just shows what can be done with a little work and some well placed plants to create a small piece of nature. Awesome job guys. Priceless!!

[@YodiRoberts]

I loved this makeover and the fact that the owners were so involved in the makeover. It is unbelievable that it was all done in one day!!!! Beautiful results. I loved the Japanese Red Maple in the corner. I would have liked to the the area with the corridor and see how it came out. Thanks for this video, many great ideas to implement! Greetings from Miami, FL May 2020

Very efficient demonstration, but could have taken ten more seconds at the end to shoot the final product from a couple of different angles.

It's fun to see Roger so happy and excited.

[@movingforward9555]

This video reminds of my grandfather and the plants he planted in the backyard. He was such a beautiful human being always giving back, especially to nature.

[@celticslimjim]

What a graceful curve you have cut, Roger. Josie was impressed.

[@Lauzangular]

This was so dang wholesome. I love his accent too.

[@outdoorsbeyondnature1980]

The Japanese maple leaf is so colorful and the shape is basically enrichment for your garden.

[@Crazyafrican]

from 0 to 100 real quick, this guy is a legend, he definitely knows his profession

[@Shadow2084]

Vastly improved and quite beautiful for a small area. Great job!

[@bballplaya123678]

5:10 Put down the mulch and make sure you don't cover them up Dumps mulch all over plants**

[@drakealan14]

Haha i know right and then he is just like perfeck 😂

[@OscarM.94]

Lmao

[@sambindon9777]

Hahaha!!

[@ImmortalOreo]

I find it funny how he made a video about how to plant a tree, where he talks about how you have to loosen the roots if they are circling and in this video he just said screw it and just planted the pot bound Japanese maple lol

[@nick4leader]

Maybe that's part of hindering the growth so it doesn't get huge

[@xqiu5627]

really doesnt matter, tree is smart

[@dianalee8101]

I love this guy! This video has been the most useful for DIY!

[@khizarabid8414]

Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "landscaping pictures backyard" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Giyily Landscaping Yatty - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my friend got amazing results with it.

[@theWIZproductions]

I love this! I wish you had more urban yard videos

[@rosalierich2073]

My first time to watch a video like this & I would say it helps a lot!!

[@Rocket4ce]

Roger getting it done like a real pro.

[@erichami]

I'm Canadian... is that a Boston accent? It's charming.

[@darylfitz4189]

Good to see Roger’s better.

[@PrimeSuperboy]

That's a beautiful looking yard!

[@christophephilippe1481]

Watching this from the UK. Great little yard. Brilliant bit in landscaping 👌

[@Eibli]

[@porkchop1343]

“Alright Josie spread it out”

[@asseater1895]

I said the same thing to ur mom last night

[@localvideoservices7405]

Nice effect for such a small space.

[@landscapersottawa9973]

I learn something new everyday

[@halxiii7538]

makes me want this winter to end so i can work on the yard!

[@outdoorsbeyondnature1980]

In California central valley fruit basket of the world we have been in a servicer drought for over six years with no mountain snow fall in Yosemite national park. The homeowners and renters are taking out the grass and planting Bush, enrichment grass, Shrubs and trees.

[@markgilgallon977]

What plant is he planting at 3:48? Skiplar? I understand it's a fastigiate plant but can't find a Skiplar/ler anywhere. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

[@Rosicrisp]

Lol it’s been 2 years you probably already know but incase you don’t it’s a skip laurel

[@donnabuglione4357]

That yard is nice now!

[@GamingJeffro]

+Donna Buglione "yard"

[@brentgreear2336]

He put a holly tree which will get crazy big and a Japanese red maple that can grow 30-40 feet in a tight area, whatever.

[@abdallaahmed780]

Brent Greear yeah but it's gonna be a great shade..

[@squatchymusings4421]

I agree. The holly is a BAD idea! I have one that is a 25 ft tall nightmare.

[@jkbrwb2064]

That's why you prune...

[@brianfong5711]

Maybe the holly was a dwarf cultivar, if it exists.

[@sheikov2000]

The Japanese Maple was badly root bound. The roots should have been cut before planting it.

[@berealrelentless6237]

Nickolai is correct, rack out and trim some roots as well as pruning back the top(foliage and branches) and the tree will be healthy. Without, the roots may girdle worse and perhaps kills the tree. If he prunes it as mentioned, yearly, he can keep it small and vigorous.

[@WorksforMe]

agreed... maybe though he wanted to give them a bonsai !!! lol

[@katieweiher]

I wish they showed the whole garden complete.

[@Tnez827]

This was great! I’m redoing a part of my yard but I need this guys energy 🫠

[@sharpshooter012345]

I can't find stahtah fertilizah anywhere...anyone know why

[@advancekashmir9846]

40 years ago had me for a sec! 🤣

[@jtglass3320]

My garden is coming up good thanks

[@fbksfrank4]

That tree is toast! Surprised he didn't say anything about it.

[@HopWorksET]

I love this video. I love ANY video from This Old House. But I have to laugh, especially at 1:21 when you are digging down to loosen up the soil. I know it sucks for me, but I live in a 15-year old development where farm land existed before my house. It's in San Tan Valley AZ and wow, going down with a shovel deeper than about 1/4" is a mystery, let alone impossible. I'm not asking for a solution, but I just had to comment that even though that looks like a lot of work, be thankful you do not live where I do. I am not kidding, it's that bad. I dug a hole to plant a Lantana, and before we planted, I filled it with water, in the middle of our 120° summer!!! The next day, the water was down about 1" but still there. I suspect the 1" left in the form of evaporation, but seemed like none of it absorbed and left through the sides. Basically like a hole in concrete. :( EDIT: I did find that if I water the ground with a length of soaker 1/4" for a couple of hours per day, the stuff turns to quicksand. THEN I can actually dig down. This has to be the hardest soil on the planet! I cannot WAIT to move to a place with fertile soil. Anyway, great video! THANKS!

[@masonhartup3009]

Well done for downing it

[@zachikhothingo1]

I love this show

[@persebra]

I would not have put sod in. why worry about cutting that little patch? A ground cover a pond or a fire pit would have been better also, a small tree like a magnolia or even a trumpet vine would have worked better in the corner

[@stevewode]

+per sebra Some people love grass (me.) Nothing looks better than a nicely manicured lawn. Green green green.

[@persebra]

+Steve “Steve-O” Last Name LOL, if you want to keep a postage stamp size lawn manicured, more power to you.

[@stevewode]

per sebra I actually said that before I saw the finished thing. I thought they were going to do that whole side as grass. That small little patch...eh.

[@silkboxing4454]

That sod made that landscaping !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@persebra]

***** I would NEVER lay down that stuff, unless it was a putting green. I putting green would be fun for a small space like that.

[@johnklamm6720]

Hey this message is for Rodger cook well I made a raised bed myself it's made out of an old diesel Tire I have a green thumb and I also have a John Deere tractor

I have a question: How much should you be charged monthly if you have rocks, for your yard to be taken care of a month? Nothing but dirt in the back yard.

Rather have seating on grass. It's better for bare feet in summer.

I didn't like that gravel either.
