My Front Yard Gets The Walkway It Deserves | Dirty Business (Garden Makeover)

[@jennamakesbugs]

I'm addicted to this show mostly to see how often a semicircle makes it into the design.

[@rneedham667]

LOL!

[@maluwellmann4238]

Me too 😂😅

[@dianeleininger704]

Great job. I am a Landscape Designer and I like the way you solved all the problems of this project. Love the gravel and all the curves.

[@susanhull1098]

What a difference. I didn’t think the owner was going there, but you won him over. Excellent job!

[@AnnMarieKing]

With all the garden vlogs breaking for winter, this old show is a treat!!!

[@Prieze868]

Exactly what the house wanted a good landscape architect the house speaks to them

[@baderhaddad5728]

I totally concur

[@hollywoodharriet13]

Absolutely beautiful. Our house enters through the driveway too. More so than this one did. I wrack my brain over it.

[@arlenehutchinson9259]

Love the different patterns they used for the walk way and drive way. I would have added a potted miniature connifer for the previous entrance, minimal maintenance and additional beauty to the front. Obviously that the client was so happy at the end is the WIN 🥇

[@ugtitto2654]

What a genius solution to the problem. The transformation is stunning. I wish I could hire you guys...

[@94deepz]

It felt as if this old house just got a spa day and it started looking fressshh! 😍

[@jaymeemangang9506]

I loooooooveee the mixture of red and grey bricks in the walkway

[@kathyklein5255]

I'd love to see this 5 years on.

[@virginiamoss7045]

I suspect it's going to be overstuffed. I would have preferred a bit of lawn for contrast, but maybe the owner didn't want to have to mow. Instead he's going to have to do a ton of weeding.

[@Evan1060]

You guys ALWAYS do something that I would never think to do.....and that is to add creativity and fun into the setting rather than just making the minimal, utilitarian choice. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work!!!

[@Denise-jq4oy]

Great show…great people ……enjoyable and entertaining….educational

[@poo2choo]

What a beautiful transformation! I wish we could see them a year later.

[@littleone7404]

It turned out absolutely stunning

[@Finnswife3]

Really great design and outcome. I love when landscaping solves architectural design flaws.

[@paulgabolinscy2502]

What a transformation

[@lynnemarie7885]

"I am scared of court. I just wanna make pretty gardens" 😂

[@EddaElid]

I enjoy your landscaping videos. You can greatly improve by supplying a detail list of the final plants you used in the landscape and where they ended up. Thank you for all the wonderful creations.

[@storagewars]

House and garden in the same style. Beautiful 👍

[@TheJoyfulEye]

beautiful job! very clever design; a fine setting for a lovely old house

[@RosaLopez-zw2ff]

What a beautiful makeover of the front yard, walkway and driveway.

[@Growwithlatty]

I love the landscaper passion for his job😘😘

[@belleange590]

Just totally amazing.

[@katen1228]

WOW! What a difference.

[@judemda2232]

I'm in love with this garden!

[@rneustel388]

This is the most fun I’ve had watching a landscaping video! I subscribed, too.

[@AbodeHomeChannel]

Thanks for the sub!

[@PeasCorps772]

I love pea gravel, but this is Toronto-it snows. And you can’t shovel snow off of gravel without making a huge mess!

[@michelleowenwest4249]

Excellent point. I hate pea gravel. I see it, and all I see are trailers and hunting camps. Nope.

[@TraceyMush]

That's exactly what l thought. You just can't shovel it!

[@frankmiller4167]

What a great video and very well done, Thanks so much

[@thomasnicolas1214]

Question on the Birch - Were there considerations about soil shrinkage and the implications the tree could have on foundations once the rootball expands and three matures? Birch a low water demand tree, but still have a zone of influence of around 7m from the base of the tree?

[@popazz1]

James is a stud-muffin!

[@sophien5416]

Is this in Canada? Would love to know the zones that you are working in so I can dream about my future garden lol I love these landscaping videos. Great landscaping shapes the energy of the home and beautifies the street. I would love to see a rebate program for landscaping to get more owners to plant trees and beautify our city neighborhoods.

[@GardenUPLandscape]

What part of Canada are you in? I work in zones 4-5 in my local area of Eastern Washington but I have family up in BC.

[@kirstenf3647]

Just beautiful...

[@barbbirdyard]

I love pea gravel. Reminiscent of European gardens.

[@yeseniahinojoz706]

It looks Amazing

[@kclarke2971]

Spectacular!!!!!

[@carmay3600]

When looking for a new house I specifically look for houses that do not have a bunch of trees in the front yard. 1. They block the light. 2. They block the sight line. 3. I love trees and could not in good conscience cut them down. Many new homes have small tree saplings directly in the front yard. These fortunately can be moved off to the side.

[@LeFleur80]

I love watching these garden transformations!!

[@asianangie7209]

Very nice!

[@makenziecompise3056]

I LIKE BOSSING PLANTS AROUND TOO!

[@cherylmoss3632]

Huge improvement?. Spectacular improvement more like it.

[@GardenUPLandscape]

The finished landscape is stunning! I love the curved walk and half circle driveway. But I have to question if they considered the adage "the right plant for the right place". They spent the whole video talking about how shaded the yard is, and still will be, then planted several sun plants because they fit with the historical gardens... Those Peonies and Roses are going to by COVERED in powdery mildew within a year. Also, River Birch require a LOT of water. The location looks shady and moist, but they never said how much water the yard gets. You should not choose any plant just because it's pretty, it needs to be a good selection for the location you're planting as well. This is so important, especially when you're planting a tree. And for the love of all things growing STOP PICKING UP TREES BY THEIR TRUNKS!

[@virgochic8415]

Woah Nicky Nicky Nine Door what a blast from the past.

[@myracamilo7826]

Wow love the the end results, and I love what sweet little ones you guys have.

[@buenavidaestates-livingthe6333]

Beautiful job!

[@MM-jq4pb]

Love the design.Please include what Growing Zone you are landscaping.

[@3westienite]

Am crazy about some of your designs (something I can only dream about). However, it would be nice to have some of the questions presented here answered. Maybe you could do a couple of separate shows with pics that address them. This is a great place to be on any given day. Thanks.

[@AP-1983]

Beautiful!

[@AbodeHomeChannel]

Thanks!

[@karenhodges7545]

Love lilac. Just too far south to plant it. Love your landscaping

[@brynnkohler4084]

They planted the lilacs in an awfully shady location. Without heavy flowering, lilacs are worthless green-blobs in a garden. Kinda like yews and Siberian pea shrubs. Nothing like planting a paperbirch too close to a building, too.

[@t7957r]

James the landscape designer looks just like the famous James Corner who is one of the worlds most famous landscape designers.

[@MisBunnypics]

Love this design great job!

[@janemily2627]

Michael, the client, looks like Danny Kay : ) I'd love to see his backyard.

[@debjanibhowmick5870]

Beautifully done ✅

[@ip4265]

My first time watching this channel. Beautiful result, but I am concerned how practical it is. From experience, pedestrians tend to take the shortest route, I doubt the mailman will ever walk the circular walkway. I would add a couple of plants in containers where the old entrance was, so it is abundantly clear it is not an entrance. Gravel is hard to maintain and paper birch while really adds beauty to this yard is a rather 'dirty' tree (peeling bark and wind-broken small branches everywhere! A list of the plants used, approximate location or the agricultural zone would be nice to have. Looks like way over the desired $50-60 budget! :)))

[@ThreeRunHomer]

Won’t water collect on the rough stone step, and form ice in winter?

[@virginiamoss7045]

Exactly what I was thinking. And how much harder to shovel snow is it now. Does it snow or freeze there?

[@khalpernia1943]

Don't you realize the water is there for the birds to dance in? ... Broken hips be damned...

[@lallred1911]

Yes! And even when dry, the rough stone will be hazardous to use in high heels.

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

I've subscribed....now I am HOOKED!

[@patriciakelly69]

Brilliant. So beautiful x

[@mervfitzpatrick7652]

Where are these guys. Wish I would could have advice to see what to do with a problem landscape design in my front yard. 🥴 oops I it is Toronto

[@kathim231]

Beautiful

[@Zricha-n9i]

How much did that landscaping cost?

[@alainkov4616]

Michael is a funny guy..." that's used to be the front door; about 50 years ago"

[@rupafitzgerald3124]

are people going to go around that big circular walkway rather than cutting across?

[@virginiamoss7045]

Frequent visitors are going to use the driveway.

[@NJ-xp4eb]

Gravel is an absolute pain to maintain pebbles getting stuck in car tyres and require constant yearly top up, which in turn questions sustainability in long run, so a pretty bad choice.

[@karenp7601]

Absolutely beautiful. I wish I had the money to have him come help me and my garden. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021!!! HOPE 2021 IS A GREAT YEAR FOR EVERYONE WORLDWIDE WITH GOOD HEALTH 🙏💘. 💕. Blessings from a Chilean Latina woman in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada 🇨🇱 🇨🇦 😘 🥰💜💙🦋😷

[@mariagraciaamorbello8467]

Is there any irrigation in this project?

[@rontibm1621]

Some red and yellow interest with japanese maples would be nice. Some blue spruces. There is so much of the same color we cant see the layers. just my humble opinion.

[@frenchweewee4444]

What are the estimated total costs of projects like this? Nice finish, I love the tree replacement! That walk way is amazing!

[@jet7865]

I will take the main landscape designer home , he cute with his bold head

[@carolynharper8331]

Fantastic! Can you guys work remotely for a project in TN, USA?

[@america9704]

Wish I could see the house more

[@laurence9695]

They could have used a different brick design on front of the main entrance. It's a grand home with a shabby servants entrance. But the circular walkway is killer.

[@melody5437]

My river birch is 60' tall and overwhelms the entire side of the house and driveway - and that's after the neighbors cut back one trunk to a nub.

[@teresacoffman5529]

I guess I’m too practical as well. I absolutely hate having large plants (trees, esp) too close to the foundation of the home. Yes, they look pretty. But the roots WILL cause damage to the foundation.

[@cynharman6866]

You are so right big no no

[@SMElder-od5cl]

Does the homeowner want to shear the beech hedge every year?

[@flowerfairy1950]

Would love to know the cost.

[@nancyfahey7518]

I think they went over the $60.

[@flowerfairy1950]

@@nancyfahey7518 I think you might be right!

[@gypsyvanneraddict]

Is this a Canadian show?

[@maryniebrugge3378]

I would never allowed the river birch. It is one of the messiest trees around. Our neighbor planted one and the whole neighborhood hates it. It drops branches in our yard, if wind is blowing it blows into neighbors yard across the street. The limbs hang over the street and drags on trucks and tall vehicles.

[@MM-jq4pb]

Lol...'and the cats' 🙀

[@ashachowdhury5135]

Can I send in pictures for some DIY suggestions for my yard? I could never afford a professional landscaper. I am a staging student so the inside reflects my talents. I really need help with the yard. Impressive results. I just want a pretty garden with pampas , perennials, stone driveway, etc. I also need the tress that's used for privacy fencing. I don't want much? Peace health and blessings from Atlanta.

[@ip4265]

Asha Chowdhury Y Garden has several great videos on DIY garden design

[@kuldeepsinghmasuta3691]

What about it’s cost of renovation

[@bolandreneau4682]

A couple of questions viewers would have: How much did it cost and do landscapers have hedge funds?

[@potatopotatoeOG]

That intro XD

[@caspiana3623]

Rip out perfectly good paver so you can park on gravel...

[@मी_आनंदी]

❤️

[@rupafitzgerald3124]

It's a bit worrying to hear a landscape gardener dismissing concerns about the suitable of a tree by saying "Not in our lifetime."

[@nongar5011]

👍👍

[@cadena141]

Uh oh. Hate gravel.

[@aujkalenic4203]

.... curiosity.....how much$ ?? Should have made it more challenging by having a small budget...just saying....

[@carakellmeyer5037]

I dont understand. Doesn't this place have snow and ice? You can't shovel pea gravel! Or why would you purposefully pick a coping stone which will collect water and ice? This is my first viewing of this show. I am completely unimpressed with these design choices.
