The re-done area looks fantastic...and I love John's stone pathway additions! I think you could prune out a few tree branches (not entire trees) and thin out the shrubs and some of the plants on the right side of the walkway (near the steps) to open it up without losing privacy. Always fun to be in the garden with you!

I’m in zone 6a/b S.E. Michigan. I bought a eastern redbud tree from an estate sale six years ago and it is flourishing here. My research which I concluded brought me to the conclusion that Redbud trees do like some shade not full sun. It is thriving here and I even have seed pods from last year, which I winter sowed and now have 7 baby redbuds. Not sure on the next step, but I’m trying to mimic nature. I think it took about three years to maturity for the seed pods.

I love your trees. Perhaps you can have an arborist visit and thin them out a bit so you can see through them a bit from the entrance to your property. Also I think that large bush to the right of the sidewalk could be removed and that would really give you more visual of the house, keep the lower growing perennials and dwarf bushes. Have a wonderful day. 🇨🇦

If gardening was ever done, it would cease to be fun. It is our place to create...each day. It looks marvelous.dont lose the red leafed tree in front of the house. You and the birds would miss it. I would shorten the shrub in front of the red leaf tree to open that area up. Clean up and maintenance and change up in the garden brings the same satisfaction cleaning house and rearranging furniture and adding a bouquet in house brings. There would be no bored housewives if they kept their homes for their families like you do. Always enjoyable. Thank you. I am on break from yard cleanup watching you do same. Lol.

In regards to your early on question about the trees on other side of the sidewalk, I think giving them a good pruning and shaping them up would help to give you a clearer vision as to what you need to do…keep or delete.

So beautiful! I think EVERY gardener is constantly tweaking their space. It is hard sometimes to bite the bullet on an established bed, but you just gotta do it! Last week I took apart a strawberry patch and redid the whole space. I had nine buckets of plants! 🤦🏻‍♀️ We planted a Red Bud about five years ago and I love it! So far it’s done very well. Glad to hear your vegetable garden is doing well. I picked my first zucchini’s yesterday! Regarding your question about the trees, they’re too beautiful to remove unless they are damaging your foundation, etc. But if you, John or an experienced tree trimmer just goes in and thins them out and trims a few branches, it will make a world of difference. Sorry for your storm damage. Two weeks ago, we lost a huge part of our Bradford pear tree. But like you, it could have been much worse. Your plant selection is wonderful! And thank you for showing us the countryside. So lovely! Love your channel!

Looks absolutely gorgeous!! Love the way it all came out!! ...However, I am concerned about the placement of your Green Giant Arbs. They get 50 to 60ft tall and 12 to 20 ft. wide. And they grow pretty quickly. Your stone path would disappear and be blocked, unless you plan on massively trimming them every year. The Emerald Green Arb. grows narrow, pyramidal, and quickly gets tall, making a great privacy element.
