How to layout a Front Yard Flower Bed-Designers Landscape

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Thank gosh, a designer gardener talking us through!!

[@MsCmsh]

Mr Alan, thank you so much for teaching all your viewers the tricks of the trade!! Really enjoy watching your seemingly effortless freehand drawing of simple lines and curves, which always turn out to be amazing Designer’s Landscape!! Wholeheartedly appreciate and adore your artistic creations!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😀

[@gardening4zone970]

Omg I forgot how much I enjoyed watching Gary. He silently inspired me.

[@janicemurphy4373]

WONDERFUL WONDERFUL DESIGN I JUST LOVE IT, THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL GARDEN!!!!!!!!!!

[@mwcleaning]

Great work, Gary! We used to watch you back in the late 80’s/early 90’s when we bought our first home. Here I am now on KZbin getting tips for my new landscape by the master himself! Keep up the great work!

[@shirleysenkler781]

Didn't notice when I watched this last scenario before but the variegated grass on the outer edge brings the white pillars forward and brings it all together. Love it.

[@sicmesicme2360]

Thanks for the sensible ideas Mr Alan. Enjoyed!

[@barbarareeves6868]

I've been trying to describe this edge to my son, with no luck at all. All he wants to talk about is the right edging material and I don't want anything that is visible. This will demonstrate what I've had in my head and been unable to communicate. Thank you so much. Just discovered you and am subscribing; I'm excited for more.

[@debbiehoagland548]

Such a great job explaining and showing. I'm a very visual person so this is very helpful

[@loulettiero8318]

Gary I think I use to watch your tv show a few years back. Your technique is exactly what made me remember. Great to see you again. Always admired your work. Glad I accidentally came across your videos. Keep making more

[@michellepereira2328]

Just found your channel. I liked the way you showcased the plants in different ways. I’ve learned a lot in this video.

[@victoriabell2447]

My husband and I have watched for thirty years. You certainly taught us radius!

[@royjones59344]

The concept of curves makes an amazing difference in landscape design. My wife and I have used it in every home we've had since first watching this show in the 90's.

[@ivpt]

This guy is so soothing. I'm sure he can sell me anything. His gardening and design is pretty good, as far as I know. Definetly deserved my like!

[@tomtran6936]

I really like the curve concept. It create a relaxing feeling than straight lines or square shape. Thank you

[@vanim8]

I keep looking for the older, classic shows. The first 150+ that were shot, directed, and edited by award winning television legend Clayton Vandiver. His voice even started the first 150+ episodes with that outstanding show open that "showed the benefits of a well thought-out landscape." Where are those shows today? The channel says they might be found here for all to enjoy...

[@asseater1895]

Love a freshly painted concrete walkway when I’m doing landscaping

[@gadielgomez2709]

I liked very much the tips. A lot of shows do the magic in front of the camera but doesn't explain the trick. Thanks a lot. Great video.

[@areafortyone]

I really enjoy watching Designers Landscape. Please make more videos.

[@alfonsoespitia5606]

Always educational info. I have enjoyed your videos for many years, hello from Pensacola!

[@ebbrown8771]

This was amazing to watch!!! God sent as I was trying to figure the from of my house out. Incredible

[@Thedistressedpainter]

It looks like free-motion sewing. Wonderful ideas, thanks so much

[@ritagaston1556]

You’re truly a ‘ good ‘ designer. Thanks for the tips.

[@FreethemGuyz]

The song when y’all putting the plantzout🤣😂🤣😂great vid man.... im learning

[@ruchio]

Love your ideas and concepts.

[@nayaksaee]

Thanks for the video....learned few things for which I was seeking for...and liked your tips....like retain those pillars view.....dark colour plant in front of light colored wall ..and vice versa. Thanks a lot..

[@alizacooper2937]

Thank you for showing the different styles.

[@BeverlyBlack]

Great video!

[@humblehalfacre8464]

I would have demo'd the walk path and created a curved one to interact with the existing curved bed edging too.

[@luv2cook.]

That would be nice!

[@siboneypeltier2307]

Spectacular, as always, we call you Mr. Circles! _O_ X

[@SometimeAgo65]

Actually liked number 2 choice better, lol and it should have been homeowners choice but great job!! Thanks for video

[@miamichi5]

Very nice job 👍! Surprised that huge saga palm survived...very hard palm to maintain, especially here in hot humid Florida... 😁!

[@plantsim]

3:06 and i'm subscribed. Great content, direct, useful.

[@Sikeslikescars]

Great video.

[@bffentertainment7848]

Wow! Great presentation, thank you!!

[@karenbrubaker5608]

Great video with some good tips.

[@QuTeBug]

Very nice but I like a bit of flowers for color...

[@sandy-rr1by]

i like to look at flowers, but dont like having to tend them. this all green garden is a nice solution. STILL enjoy your videos! thanks

[@mumma2boyz]

This was so helpful. Thank you

[@TDoug6]

Nandina spreads like crazy. I love the foliage but it takes over the planter. I would use it in a pot to contain it

[@Michael-vf7oi]

Can't believe he did not break up the root ball!

[@rebeccamarkham4970]

I'm with you, Michael!! Really dangerous omission!

[@MsMojoworks]

Noticed that too.

[@lizkuisma238]

I'd have put a light small tree in the bed in front of the garage wall, a Japanese maple perhaps. Like the colour variation without azaleas but not enough height variation. Also I do like curves but you can go too far. I prefer to mix it with some straight lines. Except box which has been done to death.

[@neoadviser8056]

This is just superb, been searching for "home and garden landscaping ideas" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Giyily Landscaping Yatty - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got great results with it.

[@maureen6322]

I really enjoyed watching your video!!! I liked the idea hoping that I can do the same for my big yard. I do not have a green thumb so wish me luck.

[@sulaimana2661]

Great Idea,

[@francesparker1800]

Thank you so much sir. I need help placing my plants in the front of my home like this. But I don’t know how much they would charge me and I don’t have thousands of dollars to get it done right now. Are you on a local tv program in the Houston tx area. I could use your help right now.

[@SweetMMG]

Hey Gary thank you for this video. I am now looking forward to using your tips on my front yard. You are very creative and knowledgeable. I will be watching more of your videos. Thanks again!! :)

[@gypsyqueen411]

Very well presented.

[@cathymaynen324]

If this is a southern area why not use some flowering tropicals and others or was the point to be something even ppl more north could do. And the plant companies are sponsoring this and that's only why their varieties used? I personally would have softened those columns w ih th a more feathery look. Yes it does look like a Legos lol.

[@dennismcmichael1656]

I like the presentation, especially showing the names of each plant, but I am concerned about planting these in a Northern zone. Do you have similar forMichigan?

[@joncrosby8988]

I like the painting shapes in the yard part. Aftet that its hard af

[@treasureseeker8489]

Beautiful, but I think U need a white or beige bench on the left side.

[@maryann6062]

Wow. Nice!

[@myoldfarmhouse4316]

nope...l'd be planting some Thunjas in front of those big Lego block columns!

[@tatigeo9777]

Thank you for the interesting video!

[@seriouslyreally5413]

I disagree with the columns. They are overwhelmingly chunky to the very narrowness of the passageway of the columns to the door itself. It needs to be toned down with a softer element or the columns replaced with some other porch supports to open up the doorway. The doorway should always be the focus because the whole purpose of the entrance is to direct visitors where to go and invite them in! Then spend the money on the landscape!

[@DanielWSonntag]

I agree with you

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

Me, too. I enjoyed watching options. So interesting. But I hate the pots! Those clunky columns need to be far more colorful and “weighty”. They look cheap and unimpressive.

[@thelessimportantajmichel287]

I agree that the columns aren’t great looking as they are. But this gentleman’s advice is still sound- columnar evergreens flanking the front door are almost always peoples’ default and it’s usually a mistake.

[@misskim2058]

The columns are an architectural nightmare. Hideous, too big and the horizontal lines don’t help, either.

[@floridagirl386]

I think climbing vines to eat those columns would soften it up

[@a.hs100]

Subscribed straightaway! What a great skills and knowledge. What course should I do to get those 2 skills n Knowledge of Design and plants knowledge? If any body could advice, I would really appreciate. Thank you very much for the video.

[@gayanedanielyan308]

Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️

[@sboat7264]

great idea and tips... but i am looking for how to integrate a small tree in my front for impact look and use low level plants for accent. Also want to put in a holly ( have a thing for hollys!)

[@wendyeskelin8765]

I liked option #2 best.

[@HollyVanHart]

💖 Thanks, I'll be checking out your other videos too! 😊 ✨ 💗

[@graewilliams8667]

When the plant was taken from its pot, it was extremely root bound. But, when the root ball was placed in the ground, and soil was put around it, the video did not address breaking up the roots of the rootball, before the plant was planted. Shouldn’t the root bound situation be addressed, before the root ball is planted in the ground. I realize that the video’s subject was design. But, couldn’t planting tips be mentioned, along the ways? Thank you.

[@michelleg.8190]

I agree planting could have been mentioned but, some plants like tight roots and it is good to keep the roots without breaking them up.

[@floridagirl386]

The roots will eventually venture out...

[@diannajohnston2791]

I don’t get why you moved from the area you were talking about removing the hedges to the front door....disconnect

[@dotbenton3826]

Nice

[@rtlpm]

Looks like the same thing everyone has

[@bubblerings]

How does it look in 2019???

[@xxpowwowbluexx]

Your criteria for selecting plants need updating to include ecosystem function.

[@HectorDiaz-xk7iy]

2:46 I’ll get my hose to layout 😉

[@lover4naturalbeauty]

Thank you for finally giving me insight on how to ldesign front yard shrubs in layers. Great video. However, I noticed the large nugget mulch, been looking everywhere for it. Can you tell me where to buy?

[@Gigtaxservices]

What can you do with rock landscaping? I wish our dirt was half that good.

[@Mona001-01g]

I wish we got to see after one year look in the video

[@bettyescookingchannel]

Great job!

[@ellenhofer3343]

One person mentioned watching yph for thirty years & I think i have for 20. You sure haven't aged at all. Are these new videos or the old ones from 20-30 years ago? Still a great show though.

[@meia1976]

this was awesome!!!

[@misskim2058]

Did he clean off the sidewalk that he missed and spray painted?

[@johnlabarre379]

No. 16:56

[@kellbell2581]

It isn't true paint, it's marking chalk and it washes away with rain or a hose. Krylon makes some, you can find it on Amazon, look up 'spray on marking chalk' for landscaping. It looks just like spray paint but it isn't.

[@misskim2058]

Good to know, thanks:)

[@betsystankard4247]

How many of these plants are native to the area?

[@patnader9952]

what zone are you actually in ?

[@jesselambert4968]

I guess no one noticed he spray painted the persons walkway, I would of been pissed lol

[@kellbell2581]

It's marking chalk, not true paint. It isn't permanent, rain or a hose will wash it away. (Krylon makes some if you want to Google it.)

[@jesselambert4968]

@@kellbell2581 okay smarty pants I guess you didn't watch the whole thing because it's still there at the very end and they clearly tried to scrub it hard so fuck you God damn wannabe know it all u can't stand you people.

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Gary: (or, anybody): WHAT cultivar palm is that at the edge of the left bed???

[@miraman68]

Sago palm

[@cynthiabriggs9569]

not sure why you put so many ligustrum so close together in such tight spot when the goal in the start of the video was less maintenance for the homeowner. Those get very large, very quickly (5-6 ft)and grow back after pruning, very quickly. I'm scratching my head on that one.

[@xxpowwowbluexx]

Very poor design. This is not low-maintenance. It’s also damaging to the local ecosystem. Nandinas are highly invasive. And nothing there can be used by native insects, which support bird populations and are generally at the core of the food web.

[@franceslalchan5834]

Lovely

[@avalon1954miko]

bellisimo love it

[@ruchio]

How do I know how many of each plant type do I need for a given space? How do I place them in the space? Color wise, height wise? If I know the evergreen bushes, annual type of flowers for a bed, how would I design placing them? Can I send pictures via email and a plant list to help me with placement of plants for my first DIY landscape design?

[@jonhohensee3258]

The title should read "How to lay out a Front Yard Flower Bed-Designers Landscape".

[@TwoBeeStinggz]

Which video should I watch before this one lol

[@violabonkers5921]

Super, thank you.!!!!

[@redw.2452]

Hes amazing

[@OfftoShambala]

i would rather look at columnar plants than those hideous columns LOL... that front entry is horribly designed anyways, the opening between the columns is waaaaay too narrow especially for the girth of those columns, the scale is way off ... no amount of landscaping is going to fix that front entry... what they need is an architect... but, some the landscape ideas this guy has are sound

[@DanielWSonntag]

Agreed

[@raitasorin]

What is the name of the generic music you use on the background please ?

[@mermaidwe2743]

Those are shrubs. I was wanting blooming flowers.

[@elenaserrato5558]

But we need more trees ,a.lot of space and no flowers and.trees, specially fruit and flower trees for birds ,bees , we must plant trees to help oxígen and food and Home for animals, the planet need it.

[@BELLA-lt2ws]

Nice job but please do something with the music....i fell this should be a exciting adventure and when i here this music i don't feel that way i feel like I'm watching a drama like old yeller or some country movie.

[@dbmgna3951]

I like your concept. How about zone 6 no prune drought tolerant recommendations, please.

[@conniemurphyover70stillgla47]

PERFECT FOR MY INTRYWAY THANK YOU

[@MMMM-mq3bt]

Did not clean out area?NO trees for shade? Trelles on the wall? Bench area? Didn't use azaleas

[@uditb.3993]

Monoculture, not good for biodiversity. In that space you could plant many native shrubs, wild flowers etc.

[@andyrogers6869]

Is there a part 2 video that gives tips on getting spray paint off the walkway?

[@michaelanger1392]

It’s not a permanent paint

[@kellbell2581]

It's marking chalk, not paint.

[@ibmimi2566]

First option for sure...the last one is so boring no color :(

[@cashflow6576]

What is the mulch.

[@georgianaradauti7315]

Basically treated tree bark

[@DanielWSonntag]

I'm gonna flip out if he gets paint on the walkway one more time.

[@kellbell2581]

It's marking chalk, not true paint, and it washes away with rain or a hose. Krylon makes some that you can find on Amazon, it sprays like spray paint but it isn't.

[@floridagirl386]

Oh my gosh its just chalk & when he waters the plants it will wash away. Lol get a grip lady

[@archieblevins833]

Nice except the small trees in the area need to be removed.

[@judeman333]

Got to say, there is not enough flowering plants in this arrangement. Just bushes with no center peice like a Japanese Mable or a nice crape myrtle. This looks like a builder setup....not a fan
