[@thehauntedmansionfan]

From someone who's owned a construction business for over 20 years: That's not the proper saw for cutting a gate. You also should have snapped a chalk line across the bottom of the gate in order to make a straight cut across. I'd get a pavement steamroller to compact those stones down. It will create a more even surface, and less rocks will kick up and hit your cars as you drive over them. If you want lights along your pathways, I'd dig a trench first for the electric to run through before laying down all that stone.

[@sam-sq4si]

Or just get little solar path lights, so cheap and no wiring needed.

[@thehauntedmansionfan]

@@sam-sq4si That area to the side looks quite shaded. I'd put in electric landscaping lights. Solar lights don't last long and can look cheap.

[@irnbrubhoy]

I’d just chuck it all on the ground and leave it there

Looks kinda weird the sleepers in front of the garage doors, I know you don’t use the garage and it’s blocked off on the inside but you wouldn’t know that from the outside. Think it would make more sense without them

[@marijones5661]

you need more landscaping. you should reinstate the border that ran perpendicular to the front door. more plants. and even though it's not a garage, you should have it look like they are accessible because the sleepers up against is strange. oh god, imagine if after all that work and money it ends up looking exactly like it did before you started. eek.

Since those doors are now obsolete wouldn’t it be better to put either windows there and brick the bottom section or completely brick that bit?

Oh my goodness, Anna looked about 15 in that flashback video! Johnathan come on, Alessia was clearly saying ‘Daddy camera’, as a Mummy and teacher who has taught from pre-school age up to twelve, I am an expert at decoding babies and toddlers! I absolutely love watching your children as they grow and progress! My babies are closer to their teens than I would like so I love being reminded of that precious stage! Andrea clearly loves the camera, he so reminds me of Johnathan, he honestly is such a happy little guy! The stone in the driveway is beautiful! Can I ask if you plan to renew your roof tiles, they didn’t look great in this video and could explain dampness in the attic as mentioned earlier.

Should've kept mulch around that tree and added a flowerbed around it it would've broken up all that stone!! Is there a reason you haven't paved or cobblestoned the driveway? Also the sleepers in front of the garage doors just look strange.

[@user-wm9rd7gt9x]

[@vmcgriff]

It is beautiful, but just Curious why you paved your driveway and then covered with gravel ?? In the US - this is backwards. People usually have gravel driveways to start because they can’t afford to pave and hope to eventually be able to pave and get rid of the gravel. Just curious if this is a UK thing 🤔

[@laurad58]

It’s the uk we are backwards 🤣

[@thehauntedmansionfan]

I'm guessing he was just going for the esthetic of it. I'd never use rocks as a driveway for a house like that style. And absolutely not with a Ferrari.

[@sunny6977]

They didn’t have it paved it was pebbles and they kept tracking them in the house so he went with large gravel over it

[@SimoneOconnell]

no we had a driveway and it was tarmac over years it broke up.Yes it was going to cost a lot to have it done so we put small gravel down.[like jonathan had before that he has just covered]we regret it nightmare keeps coming into the house.[just like was happening at jonathans].Personally we would like the whole thing done in tarmac but just to much to pay for at the time. we are in the uk.Personally i suppose its just a choice .I am not sure what was under the gravel I think he said a tarmac driveway.I think we would have just removed the top gravel if there was a nice tarmac driveway under there.But Jonathan seems to like this look which is fair enough at least the stones are bigger. which is a good thing .no ones backwards in the uk lol laura58

[@deannalynne1626]

It was never paved but even a stamped concrete would have looked so much better...neat and clean without the worry of weeds growing up through and possible standing water from all the rain they get.

I would leave the circumference around the tree intact. Add mulch and underplant the tree with small shrubs for a really organic look. To me, the stone looks unnatural/inauthentic next to the tree. Also, I would plant groups of small trees and shrubs against the house.

One quick question... what made you decide to put the stone on the driveway instead of brushing the annoying tiny gravel off and leaving it asphalt? Could have been a nice place for the kids to scooter or ride bikes. I do think the contrast of the stone and wood is really nice though.

In Canada, you need to shovel and dig out after a heavy snow, having gravel would be a pain. You would just shovel and push all the gravel away.

[@mlundon94]

Hi Jonathan! I am in south Florida and have some wonderfully bright colored Bougenvilia planted in several areas close to my view from inside the home. They are inspiring while enjoying them in bloom pretty much year round (they are thorny though, strictly ornamental). I think that there are several places that you could plant these (or even a climbing rose bush) especially in the drive area closer to the house. Too bad I couldn’t post a picture a pagoda built out from the garage with a beautiful climbing bougenvilia in a fuchsia color (deep pink/purple color) or I would for ideas. I am not certain if it is indigenous to your area but pretty certain it would grow, with care to be covered perhaps in your frost/snow season. It grows as far as zone 8 in America. I really enjoy seeing your gardening projects, want to get your “nanotechnology” mini chainsaw. Enjoy watching Anna change the interior of the home as well, beautifully done! We have missed your videos! 🤓🙂🙃🌺🌴 💕
