Xeriscape Installation in Poway Day Two Planting the Cactus and Succulents and Discussing Barrel Rot

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

"Don't analysis paralysis." -Laura Eubanks What a profound life advice right there, at least for me. Just go do what you can and a lot of times the rest with flow from that. I have to keep reminding myself that.

[@oliviafitzgerald7533]

*Hi) You have very beautiful cacti! Let them grow big!)*

[@dorothymercadotscp]

Love your work as always Laura!!! You have inspired me and many more with what you do!!

[@felinafloripa]

Laura, these agaves are wonderful!!! I can imagine your beautiful flowers soon! Congratulations on the beautiful project! Cristina, São Paulo, Brasil. 😘🤗 🇧🇷

[@patriciahupp4881]

Them barrel cactus...I have one similar. It has healed & have placed in the ground. I was amazed how it healed itself!! Love Barrel cactus ❤

[@LauraEubanks]

Hi Patricia!! Thanks so much for your support❤️

[@deborahlee1072]

I agree x. It’s all about the grouping baby! I would feel anxious too but you’ve created a stunning installation, to dramatic effect 🤩🌵

[@jennifervandreven2702]

It's so exciting seeing a slope garden being created. This is looking amazing!

[@pennylane9155]

It's shaping up for a really impressive garden display!

[@jenniferleung5208]

Can’t wait to see your day 3. You and your team are fascinating. Nice job 👍🏻

[@soggendazs]

Wow! Looks so good. What a fun project to get to use such large specimens and have such a large canvas for rock!!

[@janecurtis5726]

Layout of plants looks perfect! Restraint is hard, I know firsthand, you did well!! Can’t wait for part 3!

[@silversolution7027]

Thank you for all the wonderful succulent and cactus ideas Laura! I have been incorporating some of your designs in my coastal Eureka Cali garden. Keep on keeping on with the beautiful work you do! Love.

[@DonnaNuanes]

Thank you for sharing 😊😊

[@extream9059]

This already looks awesome. Can’t wait til the plant grow larger, that will look amazing!!

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

15 gallon specimens are so much fun to work with! Hopefully we’ll get some precipitation for Christmas. Cool cameo appearance by Handah. .

[@sallybruska3245]

I like how you spelled Hannah's name Handah because she only showed her hand. Very clever!

[@BobiJadue]

Omg i’m soooo exited to see the finished project 😍😍😍

happy to see you Laura.......

[@thelmahall2593]

I love how this zeroscape is coming along!!

[@fignewton0000]

The spacing/positioning looks so natural! I like how you threw soil around the edges of the rocks to get them to look "unearthed" also at 8:23 I thought you were talking about the little yard sign when you said this is detail work

[@chrystalsabin4091]

I really like that, put together quite nicely.

[@sarajustin1703]

Did anyone else notice the lovely phallus-esque cactus trio at 9:00? 🤣

[@nardginarenas9927]

im really a big fan of yours... 💐💕😍

[@wcwright44]

Unbelievable progress in one day!

[@nancytoomey8820]

[@ireshferolino9452]

excited for the grand reveal

[@foliagecove355]

Stunning ✨✨✨✨

[@robynmorris2408]

Restraint for Laura, she did it. Boulders instead of plants....but, she still “planted” those boulders so that they looked natural.🤓🤓😍😍

[@isabellaromero3349]

Me encanta su trabajo , cuando tenga una vacante me avisa 🤗🤗🤗.

[@helenkrolik7695]

@@LauraEubanks I am living vicariously through this channel. Dreaming in Brooklyn,Ny of sunny succulent filled lawns

[@alvarez0223]

I love the barrel cacti! Unfortunately I don’t think here were I live they will survive. I live in Texas. Please let me know if I can have one or not. They are very beautiful! 🥰

[@Brother_Nature.]

looks great as always, I just don't like the black iron fence they have going on in front of the house... there is one cactus plant that you have planted that has a very peculiar appearance to it tho. (if you take a close look you'll see what I mean)

[@ellison2024]

Amazing!

[@janetac1738]

FABULOUS

[@Brandin-James]

I did it yesterday. The balance was off I stepped back and it still was soooo what did I do? You know it! 🥔

[@indrayudhakusuma7334]

those black fences hiding all those beauties

[@IJones]

We need a update video!!!

[@My-cat-Kimchi]

I know you said awhile back that you could join, but it doesn’t show on my screen as it does on other channels. Just wanted you to know.

[@christylopez4954]

Me too how can I ?

[@LauraEubanks]

Try from a desktop or click ‘desktop view’ if your phone allows. Thank you both SO much for joining my channel😊

[@kenhunt5153]

Would modified berms, basins or swales help with the slope and help to create texture?

[@zunneberg]

Can you add names of the plants you use in the comments. Your videos are really inspiring me!

[@williamborges3914]

Great design and installation. Any chance of either sand blasting or staining the weathered wooden fence? It's looking a bit ragged at this point and may stand out adversely in contrast with the gorgeous new landscaping.

[@LauraEubanks]

It’s actually a new fence😂

[@williamborges3914]

@@LauraEubanks In that case let's give the client points for using recycled lumber. 😎

[@jimenezale1]

I live in Az and see barrel cactus everywhere but never in the beautiful shape I see them in your videos. I see them growing narrow and usually the stalk will be sticking up from the dirt. Is there a reason why that happens?

[@LauraEubanks]

Sorry. I have no idea!

[@juliamorales7023]

That burgundy rock is going to be the last touch to your masterpiece🌵

[@extream9059]

I always wonder if you can maybe tell the whole plant cost of the projects that you are doing (of course only if the clients are ok with it). That would be very helpful and interesting. 💙💙

[@pamgrimm8850]

I am also curious about the cost. Especially those golden barrels they are so large and when I see them in my nursery I am shocked how expensive they are, and you have so many! Then add on the equipment to place All of those huge boulders, seems like the owner should have a right to charge admission! All Laura’s jobs are impressive, but this one is a real stand out. It would also be fun to get the owners reaction when the job is completed.

[@tran383]

Great job, love this project. Is that some type of an octopus agave or is it an American century plant?

[@LauraEubanks]

Agave Vilmoriniana variegata😊

[@calicops951]

what is the per-emergent thing you were talking about for the weeds?

[@danielmann5427]

It's a granular substance that is spread out to prevent any seeds from germinating. Thus weeds won't grow from seeds

[@calicops951]

@@danielmann5427 Thank you. I have tried to use something similar with poor results. I am guessing that this product is better.

[@vickibee8451]

@@calicops951 The key to using the pre-emergent is not to apply it until you are COMPLETLY done disturbing the soil by planting your plants. It works by creating a barrier so that the weed seedlings cannot come through that barrier. Once you apply it then water and the granules "melt" creating the barrier.

Hi, Dorinda😊

[@kaseyhenderson574]

Nice how the barrel healed itself, but glad im not the client, i would be mad about it, paying a grip of money for that installation, and stick that barrel in my yard , disappointing... the plants should be pristine

[@bethreisman8869]

The golden barrels will throw off pups and become clusters over time.
