The Homestead is looking incredible, so crazy watching it all come together over the last year in a half or so! So jealous of your amazing space

[@laurafedora5385]

This is beautiful, Kevin. Your neighbours hit the jackpot with you! I can’t wait to see your yard completely finished, it’s already such a huge improvement from when you first got there!

[@isaacgame7304]

Bro that's an awesome installation job, that partnership with Acker Stone was well deserved. Your home is goals, man.

[@epichomesteading]

Appreciate you;

[@theresaanndiaz3179]

Can you go over how you planned all this? Is there a master plan or are you winging it? The homestead looks amazing.

[@fourcatsandagarden]

pathways!! I actually found a ton of bricks when I was clearing the underbrush at the back of my yard - turns out, when the house was built, they left the extra bricks on the back hill, and over time the bricks ended up buried. I found about 200 bricks in all. Not enough for a pathway this extensive, but they did become a great, free garden edger.

[@styleme3375]

Kevin I think you need a tiny bistro table with two chairs on your little feature corner. You and Jacque will have a place to rest if you need it, a place to sit and have a beer in the evening or a little table to set plant trays and stuff down while working in the front garden.

[@Nikki-mx5my]

Walkway looks beautiful, Kevin! I scrolled through the comments and noticed there seemed to be a few folks expressing what seemed to be some resentment about getting the materials donated to the homestead. I come from a family of small business owners and my impression is that Kevin seems to prioritize small/independent businesses for projects on his homestead. So in this case, the Epic Homestead got 3,200 in materials (not including the cost of the labor). In return, this company got free exposure on a channel that has over 90 thousand subscribers, the main channel has well over a million and that’s not including the social media accounts. Think about how much marketing costs for independent businesses vs. the large corporate big box stores. This homestead is Kevin’s home, but it is also a business. This is what independent businesses building mutually beneficial relationships looks like.

[@katrinacarson928]

I love watching how The Homestead is evolving. Your videos are so informative and clear. I hope that you'll do a grand tour of the place to give us an overall vision since so much has changed.

[@vlong7112]

You're living the dream 🥲 so lovely to see the progress at the homestead!

[@kellylynnstudios2185]

This is fabulous! Such a nice paver install. I’m also in love with those rusted planters:)

[@zulyp72]

Beautiful work- can we get info on the rusted planters?

[@eliasnoriega3007]

EVERY SINGLE TIME. These videos make me smile from ear to ear, and motivate me to do the same as you Kev🙏🏼 Thank you.

[@nathan_middleton_]

That corner in the front yard, with the seat you were eating grapefruit on, would be perfectly suited to have a little wooden pergola, perhaps with some vines creeping up and over. Would make that corner more of a feature, break up the garden areas, and provide a little chill spot for you to read, drink, etc. Maybe even make them passionfruit vines to get even more produce

[@megaflux7144]

i would have REALLY liked to see you use solar tiles so you could use the sidewalk and possibly patio to harness more of that california sunshine.

[@ApocolypticDonkey]

Epic Homesteading is my favorite content on KZbin! I get to live my homesteading dreams vicariously through you 🤣

[@anthonyshea5946]

I did stone walkways and patios for work one summer. In Oregon- due to water- we’d do 4-6 inches of 3/4 minus compacted with 1 inch sand to lay on fallowed by locking playground sand between the stones.

[@GemmaleeDee]

We're so soggy here xD I was just mentioning stones and steppables but I'm not sure due to the lack of rain there they would even be able to do anything like that.

[@girlirl]

Kevin, I love the videos. I got started watching you through your container blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry videos. Just want to tell you that you are SO handsome and knowledgeable -- an amazing combination. Can't wait to see more!

[@AiraRukawa]

1:19 am in PH time and I'm still watching yt videos. Hahaha. Can't wait for everything ro settle down and you can plant more crops

[@missdarque]

Laying those stones is totally Tetris, and I can hear how excited you are as you walked through what you can do next!

[@kirstinmckeown3581]

Amazing! You've made so many major changes in the last while, after you get the coop done it would be really cool to see another overhead picture of the homestead, compare it to when you moved in!

[@AtHomeWithSheree]

Love the design! Fits perfectly. I have several new paths going in this season-mainly so I can get to certain spots in the garden when it’s rainy. You’ve made so much progress so quickly in the homestead! Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

[@staceymoniz]

Dare I say it, this is truly EPIC, Kevin. Love it!!

[@nancywells5626]

Congratulations on your yard coming together the way you want it too! It's looking really good! So nice to hear the excitement of your project in your voice!

[@julesandgems8644]

Your excitement makes me so happy! Living the dream

[@mybelovedchaos]

I am thrilled to see this come together so well for you!

[@shamancarmichael5305]

Love the modular aspect of the paving stones! Gives you more options for layout and patterns. Very cool. The contrast of the black side pieces really sets it off! Beautiful. 👍

[@tiffanybrooks9086]

Yes! I love to see the progress on the homestead. The stone is beautiful!

[@jtcowboy5518]

This place is going to be so amazing when it's done. It's already amazing as it is! Thanks for taking us along this incredible journey!

[@conniesanrn2730]

I love the curves and swoops. Beautiful work!

[@JDeaver51]

Man the excitement in your voice...I cannot wait to see how this all turns out. I am ready for Spring in 7a. Thanks for the motivation to keep on going even when it's cold here in Texas. Much appreciation.

[@AnyKeyLady]

Not sure why but that was so satisfying to watch! It's great to see the progress of your garden build as it isn't always about the planting but the landscaping and structures too and how they blend together.

[@allisonpierce8275]

[@SonOfAGun1814]
