Hi Kayla, mom and dad are so loving. I am so happy for you and Marcus…We feel like you both are I family for sure, you both are so welcoming. I pray God will bless your union far beyond measures. A marriage is such a milestone of growing together, keep God before you all. 💐🙏🏿💕💛

Colored rocks around the bird bath would be nice.

[@malekatahcampbell6326]

Very nice ❤️ try some Hostas plants and day Lilles for that shady circular patch. They come back every year bigger and better 👀 and congratulations 🎊 on your new wedding 💑

[@nichelebrownlee1471]

To help the hydrangeas to stand up more put tomato cages in the center. You would have to do this in early spring when they are coming up for the season. Also miracle grow will help your flowers to grow fuller.

[@mermaiddiyartist8119]

If you do grass seed for shade in shady areas and water often it should work. Maybe you need a little fertilized soil mixed into it or added to the ground

[@peh85]

Thank God for our parents ❤️❤️.... We lost my dad to cancer in 2020..... I'm blessed to have so many memories though..... My parents were together till the end ❤️❤️

[@stephaniesharp6690]

Kayla the pine straw attracts water bugs. Just to let you know. I think you should just get some more of the black mulch to put around the trees. #justasuggestion. Congratulations Mrs. Chatman🎊🎉🎉🎊🎉🎊

[@lydiamitchell6814]

Hostas grow really good under shade under trees! They will die in direct sun. Many varieties of them. They are a beautiful plant! Congratulations on your marriage “ The Chatmans” 🥂💐💍👩🏽‍🦱👨🏽‍🦱👩🏽‍❤️‍👨🏾👰🏽‍♀️🌸🌻🎉💖

[@suzanneweary9739]

You did great on those tiles. It's great to see young people taking on these jobs around the house like my parents used to do. Your family members are also amazing for coming in and helping you two finish your projects before the big day. Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Chatman! May God always bless your Union.

[@Howkima_seesit]

Fyi the coleus gets huge.. green leafy things lol are “creeping Jenny” they are my favorite spiller plants. Perfect for the boxes

[@cheyennetapiasmith9056]

Maybe you should look into grass seeds or grass that thrives in shade. I have "natrual wild strawberry ground cover," in my completely shaded backyard. I didn't plant it, it was here when I moved in. It is beautiful and always green, year round and I live in the northeast. Also when you planting, do you "split" the base of the "new plants" before you set them in the soil. If not, that's why your plants and not thriving; they are "stuck" with growing inside the container they were in. Always "split" plants when you remove them from the pots purchased in.

[@Lovemylife65]

We tried rubber mulch too and it’s a no for me. Regular mulch helps nourish the soil. Next season, try hostas in the circle as your perennial. They perform best in shade. Then you can add pretty annuals to give the circle some color. Best wishes.

[@JL-hw5hu]

Or go with some shrubs and perrineals to save on money 💰

[@alisalaska1786]

Yeah it’s so cheap and easy to replace mulch. Too much leaves and other stuff gets into it that you will never get out of rubber but can just throw it all out with the wood mulch.

[@Danajanene]

I love my rubber mulch so much that when I saw it on clearance at Sam's club for 3.91 I ordered 6 bags of it. So now I have 11 bags that will sit in my shed.

[@aprilrainey3855]

@@Danajanene I agree. I love the rubber mulch.

[@Brittany_Thurman]

Definitely agree. I have hostas and they are great

[@annebrown60]

Kayla please don’t put regular spray paint on your flowers, it will kill them! You have to use paint for flowers only. You and Marcus have done an excellent job on your yard and I am so happy for you both. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding 💕💕💕💕

[@Animefreak242]

This. Hydrangeas are my favorite but they cost so much money and she killed that bush with even that little bit of paint. 😭 The color of your hydrangeas is completely dependent upon the acidity in your soil. Raise or lower and pH of the soil for a different color flower.

[@kaybeauty2134]

@@Animefreak242 right I have the same one & u have to do your research on them

[@Jakilyn]

I have the snowball at my front door. It's beautiful but a monster!! So huge it covers my entire entryway. It has to go. It also attracts wolf spiders and wasps like crazy. Gorgeous for a backyard but not front door.

[@francesgore3459]

Kayla everything looks lovely, just a suggestion for the bird bath white rocks with some solar lights would be a nice touch along with some round decorative pavers, also there are glow in the dark rocks would also add a nice touch👍👍

[@sharonwilson1059]

When we plant our plants in the ground we always add water first and then stick the plant in it or in the ground mash down on the dirt to get out the air pockets out in the water again I don’t know if that’ll help you

[@tashamarrie9265]

We purchased the marble rocks - the river rocks look nice also. Look into them - it will save you from buying mulch every year. The rocks never fade or fly away. And they look maintained.

[@EC4400]

Whew! You guys have accomplished so much. Praise the Lord for family and helpers. My very best wishes to Mr. and Mrs, Chatman.

[@LivingLifeQuinn]

Hey on the side where it’s shaded and not enough light you can put an elephant ear or a aloe Vera plant and around the bird bath you can do a succulent plant garden because they actually like to be dry and can sustain in direct or indirect lighting

[@CateSmirno]

Kayla you are the ultimate worker bee, the little engine that could, just everything. Great job from the family as always.

[@sherae88]

Have you looked into gravel glue. It will keep them in place and you can just sweep the mulch off instead of picking each individual piece

[@addicted367]

You guys should have your own home improvement show. Great job 👏👏👏

[@naturalelation1631]

[@ashleybretut]

If add garden lime turns hydrangeas pink or use soil acidifier turns it blue purple naturally

[@02270626]

Hey Kayla! I hope your wedding was all that you dreamed it would be! For the areas under your tree, try some hostas, or caladiums if you want color. They thrive in shade. Hostas are perennials and caladiums are annuals.

[@samanthagray24]

Get some mulch glue from Home Depot or lowes! It doesn’t move, but still provides penetration for water!

[@alisalaska1786]

If your mulch is coming out of the barrier, it’s not deep/low enough. The regular stuff is just going to go over the brick barrier as well. The ground, with mulch, needs to be 1-2” lower than the brick, to keep it in.

[@molliehouston3061]

Congratulations to the Chatmans . you had a bless day yesterday because the weather held up for ya'll. God's blessing to ya'll ❤🎉🥳

You did a great job on the tile. Fence looks great. I saw your supervisor Marshmallow looking on. So awesome your parents were able to lend their hands and expertise. I know those last few days before wedding can be a whirlwind but to have some special moments with your parents make for great memories. Did you spray paint the rest of hydrangeas? Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Chatman. 👰🏾‍♀️🤵🏾‍♂️

[@anonomuslyfamous]

You rubber mulch is different from mine but we brought rubber mulch and I highly recommend it. My rubber mulch is thicker it low key looks like rocks and it’s never moved. With regular mulch you have to add more every year and it fades. I only use regular mulch in my vegetable garden. Where did you get your mulch?

[@tanyaogarro7926]

I had pebble gravel and it gets all the mulch so I replaced it with pavers and they're so much nicer. I got the rectangle pavers and I packed it with paver sand.

[@catherinedurbin9298]

I just discovered mulch glue. Haven’t tried it yet but saw it in a video. It lasts about a season and the video I saw used it on pebble mulch. Super cute and stays out for almost a year. And water could get through! Also I’m super in to clover lawns right now!

[@tflo0212]

You should paint your shutters black. It will give your front more pop.

[@ih8mp]

Coleus can get pretty big and grow fast so don't worry if they look small in the planters. They are pretty resilient as long as they aren't in full sun. The wilty ones are probably under transplant shock and should perk up with frequent watering and time. Love your flower choices! Congrats on your marriage! Sending love from NY.

[@loissaedder2214]

The coleus need to be cut back and the flowers taken off. They should bush up more then.

[@ChocolateSweets07]

Congratulations on the big day. I would suggest when picking plants to plant. Pay attention to the tags. It will tell you which plant need full or partial sun. Also shoot for plants that grow back on their own every year Good luck with everything

When I transport items in my suv I line the trunk with a tarp to prevent damage and dirt !

[@julianne089]

Depending on the type of tree it could be putting out a chemical (I forget the name of it) that some plants can’t tolerate. So it might be more than shade bothering those plants. So you might do some googling to find out. I know there are plants that can tolerate that chemical. Likely your gardenias are ( if that is what the problem is) the other problem could be is your soil type. Whether it’s more acidic or alkaline, or more clay etc. that dead Bush might’ve died because it wasn’t right for your soil type. Those wildflower mixes rarely work. It’s almost best to just start with some reliable “Wildflowers” like coneflower etc that thrive anywhere and find ones that work for your yard. :) everything looks so pretty!

The color change is the natural progression for hydrangea. Some start of white then progress to lime to pink as the season goes. Some are affected by the acidity or alkaline nature of your soil.

We used that flower foam from dollar twenty five tree (lol), dug our holes, inserted the flowers into the foam, planyed in the ground and covered - absolutely no issues!!! So worth the money and there is no flower shedding, falling leaves, etc. Would highly recommend to anyone - and again, Hobby Lobby has florals on sale every other week when prices are 1/2 off.
