Just found your channel, can't wait to see what you end up planting in that bed. Not sure what you like or what color scheme you want to go with, but I've had awesome luck with viburnum (Summer Snowflake I think?) that I got on clearance at the local Lowes in the fall. When I bought them at half price (maybe $17 a pop) they looked kinda wimpy, but they have thrived in the sunny location I planted them. They have a good shape without pruning, pretty flowers, grow fairly quickly, attract butterflies and require no care other than occasional watering...you basically plant them and forget about them. They've gotten to almost 8ft tall in less than 6 years, and they started out only about 1ft tall! Dianthus is another perennial that has worked really well for me and is low maintenance. Someone else mentioned Russian Sage, and I have some of that...I like it, but it does have a bit of a "wild" look, and it spreads, so it's hard to keep looking neat. It's damn near impossible to kills, so it's something I would recommend to my single guy friends who want landscaping but will absolutely not do any work. I'm a gardening/landscaping novice, but I have had really good results from regularly checking the local lowes/home depot in order to see what I like and make a general plan for new planting beds. I also have a great local nursery that has excellent prices and selection, so I check there often, but most other nurseries I've visited have pretty high prices (but they might have a much wider selection if you're looking for something specific). If you buy locally, you should be able to choose from plants that will do well in your climate. I don't like to spend a ton of money on plants, and you easily could...especially with large planting beds. I find the best deals on shrubs in the fall and plant anywhere from October-early December here in Tennessee, so depending on where you live in Ohio, your fall planting window would move up 2-4 weeks maybe? This strategy has worked really well for me, I have built several installations around major plants that were on clearance and fill-ins that were on my list of "things I like" which I purchased once they went on sale or were discounted. A few plants I've learned that don't work as well as I would've liked (in my area, anyway): Blue rug juniper - ground cover: Just doesn't look good over time, tends to get over-run with fire ant mounds in my area Euonymus (golden and emerald) - shrubs: Some thrive, some just die. If you plant a grouping of them, buy extra so you can replace the ones that die, or you will have a bare spot or be forced to purchase a large, expensive, more mature shrub several years down the road when one gets a bare patch, starts falling over randomly, or just grows differently than its neighbors. Azaleas - dwarf variety: hard to maintain any kind of shaping...I like the "organic" look, but I hated the azalea I had that never grew and always looked lopsided...its probably the only plant I've actually torn out and thrown away instead of transplanting. Nandina - shrub: It's fine...just doesn't have a very uniform shape and grows slowly, so I don't love it. I also don't like to prune, so I'm not going to try it now, but that might help the situation. Spiderwort - perennial flower: I just think it's ugly. I did try to transplant it, though, so it fared better than the azalea. Common day lillies - perennial flower: these are fine, they're pretty basic. Some people love them, I just think there are better flowering perennials out there. Hostas - foliage perennial: I actually love hostas, but so do deer, so I rarely plant them unless it's in an inaccessible area for deer...they will eat all the leaves. Hope that's some info that helps!

You'll love the natural mulch as they call it in my area. I've used it for 4 years now and love it because it breaks down quickly and adds so much humus and builds up the soil so well. Weeds love it so maintenance in spring is a must if you have a lot of birds seeding the area. It will break down quick;y over the year and needs replenished yearly if you want the mulch look. The soil now is a lawn fork deep and easy to maintain. I've added some vegetables, strawberries, fruit trees to the landscape to take advantage of the rich soil. Enjoy

If it were my yard I think that I would put some mid sized evergreen trees underplanted with redtwig dogwoods for the winter interest. A black lace elderberry for the purple foliage and the pretty spring flowers, also it can be pruned almost to the ground if for some reason you should need to. ‘Hakuro- Nishiki willows are a gorgeous small willow bush that have green leaves with white variegation and pink new growth that would contrast well with darker evergreens and anything purple leaved. Bloomerang lilacs for a small lilac that reblooms. At Last roses maybe if you like roses but want something that won’t get huge has awesome disease resistance and peachy blooms. Maybe a coral bark maple for more winter interest, they don’t get huge. Tibetan Cherries have beautiful glossy copper bark so they look nice year round. Loropetalum chinense (fringe flower) has awesome dark purple leaves and is way smaller than elderberries. And my last would be Limelight hydrangeas! They get 8-9 feet tall and put on huge flowers that start out light green mature creamy white then age to a pinkish red color, and you can get miniature limelights if you need them smaller too!

How do we know what plants to recommend if we don't know what your climate zone is? Cherry Crape Myrtle bushes and/or bougainvilleas if you're in the South. If you have the budget you could buy very large planter pots and do small fruit trees in them. Using whatever kind(s) that grows best in your area. Or you could have a massive hit video by creating your own out of concrete. There are some instructive DIY vids showing how to make all kinds of pots out of concrete but hardly any of them are substantially large. YT has a few on the bigger side but they all seamed to be coming out of Brazil, in Portuguese. My guess is Brazilians have the same climate issue that people like me in Florida have. They want a small to medium tree/or bush. So thats where the planter/pot comes in, since containing so many of these hot-weathered large plants in pots stops them from becoming gigantic and problematic. Idk if this interests you- but you'd be doing everyone a big favor by creating an English speaking video showing how to fabric a DIY, concrete large pot. Especially for those of us in climate zones that don't want to put something directly in the ground which will take over and become too large too quickly. Btw your French Drain video is great!

First, I suggest you find out from your HOA what you are permitted to plant! Some HOAs are VERY strict and you have to get permission to plant anything - and if you don't, they can force you to take it out and/or fine you. Most courts uphold the side of the HOA. This is my first - and last - time living in a HOA! I don't think I "play well with others."

Cut grass as low as possible, spray all vegetation killer on it, then cover with at least 3 inches of mulch. Every month maybe dump some pre-emergent on the mulch to soak into the ground but you should be good. FYI, a 10'x10'x3" section is 1 yard of Mulch. So a 30'x30' area is 900 SF or 9 yards of mulch. Around me, it is $45/yard plus delivery fee of about $50.

@@margaretd3710 Yes this is the reason people need to look into the type of bamboo plant they are getting, even the clumping bamboo, (if its a fast sprawling type) can overrun the area if you dont cut back or maintain the shoots. Its not too hard, once a year just cull what you dont want. Otherwise you just get a slower growing, ornamental clumping bamboo.

My suggestion about planting near the house is don't. It encourages bugs, burglars, and vermin, as well as causing plumbing problems. If you must do it consider it carefully, I've spent $11000.00 in ten years dealing with unwise plantings done by the previous owners of my property. This is probably unnecessary advice for you since you seem to be the sort who plans carefully, but many people fail to consider the problems caused by certain plants.

Depending on how much weight the truck and the load made, it could have broken the concrete sidewalk. Then he'd have had to paid a company to come in and break the broken sidewalk out and repour it. Not worth the cost! I speak from experience, sadly.
