Hi Bobby, from Rapid City SD. Finding plants, trees that survive our winters are hard. I’ve lost 3 trees in the last 2 yrs that were newly planted. I look for plants in zones 3/4 even though the zone map says 5. Roses struggle here. I like your designs, my front yard needs some help.

[@BobbyKDesigns]

Planting in cold zones is difficult. Evergreens of various colors are usually a safe option BUT I will see what I can come up with in upcoming videos. Thank you for sharing!

The butterfly bushes are beautiful near that front curve, but they could get large enough to block clear visibility of traffic. Might be safer with something that will stay lower.

What are your thoughts on garden islands in the middle of a lawn? I haven't seen many in your videos. Do you think they are a bad idea?

[@BobbyKDesigns]

I’m not a fan

[@BobbyKDesigns]

Unless they are covering up a utility of some sort

[@Randy_with_a_Y]

@@BobbyKDesigns Thanks for the reply. I put an island next to my living room window so I could look out on something other than grass. Are you not a fan because they look unnatural? I could turn the island into a big beautiful bed as its very close to the driveway as opposed to the middle of the lawn

[@BobbyKDesigns]

@@Randy_with_a_Y IMO try look out of place most of the time but that doesn’t mean it can’t work. If it’s close to an existing bed, I like the idea of combining the two.❤️

Nice video. Now, I've got a real challenge for you. How about a design for the Dallas North Texas suburbs? Our pH is around 8.0. Temperatures can fluctuate from around 105 in the summer to near 0 in the winter. We get a ton of rain in the spring and then nothing between 4th of July and Labor Day. The most common grass is Bermuda which goes dormant in the winter and also if it does not get enough water in the summer. Thanks.

[@BobbyKDesigns]

I get those areas a decent amount. Happy to help you create a drought tolerant design.

I saw "big beds" in the title and thought I could learn something I needed to learn for upcoming project. But I'm considering big island bed and wondering, how big is too big? Didn't get my answer here. But enjoyed your video and suggestions, as always!

[@BobbyKDesigns]

Hey there! Thank you for the comment! In order to answer your question, use the principles I thought you in the first design. Get out a hose or some spray paint and map out the area. Then step back and take a look. You’ll be able to tell what you think it is too big or too small. It’s different for everybody.

[@ElizabethDohertyThomas]

Saint Paul, Minnesota. Great video, as always. My comment is to consider adding, alongside the DIY vs. hire-out costs, what the ongoing maintenance costs would be DIY vs. hiring out that work. It would also be cool on the maintenance side to share TIME, not just dollars...warm seasons X design here would cost you 2-3 hours a month of keeping everything in shape, and about $200 in remulching per year. That sort of thing would be super helpful. I'm also curious how it works along driveways and sidewalks in snow season, if people accidently ruin their landscaping with their shovels/snow plows. I just know landscaping shifts and requires work, as I'm flashing back to awful memories of being a small girl having to help rebuild up the small rock landscaping. :-)

Hey, so I'm in Central California (near the village of Coarsegold, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains near Yosemite), and an avid follower even though your landscape designs are for a different climate zine. I started landscaping with a combination of drought-resistant California native plants, plus some Mediterranean plants (whatever the deer and rabbits don't eat). All of your landscape advise can be applied to other zones like mine if one understands the basics. Thanks for all you do!

Do you think you can make a video about landscaping for parkstrips (the small area of land between roads and sidewalks in a yard)? What would you do to make it maintenence-free and have the design tie into the design of the rest of the yard (especially for a corner lot)? I'm from the northern Utah area.

[@BobbyKDesigns]

Absolutely! Most of the time grass makes the most sense but I have some ideas! Hello Utah!

[@achristabynon]

@@BobbyKDesigns I've been wanting to update the parkstrips by my place for quite some time (there's one front of the yard and another to the side). The strip to the side is on a slope and can make mowing difficult (plus obstacles like a fire hydrant and mailbox). I've thought about filling it with rocks and boulders (maybe a paver next to the mailbox), but I don't want it to standout differently from the yard. That then gave me an idea to incorporate some of those rocks by the house and other areas of the yard. If you like a challenge and want to use my place as an example, I can probably email you the address to see on Google maps or send you some pictures. I love the location, but the landscape could use some tlc!

[@Triflixfilms]

From Columbus, Indiana. Another great video as always! My question is, for people who might want a large bed around their house but don't want to deal with plants in the ground for easier maintenance... what would be your recommendation? Large decorative stones, glass and metal art focal points?

[@BobbyKDesigns]

Hey there! One thing I didn’t mention in this video is that just because you have large beds doesn’t mean they have to be full of plants. It would be ways to put in multiple focal points, and then just have lots of space for mulch or decorative stone as the filler. You can always add to those beds in the future. That way the cost is down and the maintenance.
