God bless you for making this video. I just bought a property on a slope in Oakland thinking that was the thing to do as water would drain off, but being at the bottom of a large hill I get not only my rear neighbors water but the side neighbor's, too!

[@YardCoach]

Im glad it helped Stephanie. Hard to be at he bottom of a funnel. Good luck and I’m here if you need me. Coach.

[@LEOHACKMAN247]

Excellent information Coach! Thank you.

[@briansschneider]

Thanks Coach! Please keep videos coming. NY

[@raquelsepulveda1089]

Great information! Can you do a separate video for plant choice only ... as a new Gardner that would be helpful.

[@jenevievegracehaller4412]

I'm just getting started and this was most valuable !! I want to begin with the end in mind, but your emphasis on making the base terrace level really helps !

[@YardCoach]

Glad you reaped some info you could use. Let me know if other questions arise. Good luck. Coach.

[@raquelsepulveda1089]

Please do a separate video for planting plan... your information was fantastic... as a new Gardner I’d like more details

[@YardCoach]

Thanks for the nice comment, and thank you for the suggestion. Question though, are you speaking to planting plans for hillsides or for planting plans in general?

[@nataliamartinelli4600]

Great info! Thank you 😊

[@YardCoach]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Mercedes3732]

So helpful, thanks coach!

[@iammelso]

Hayward!? I'm from Union City. I just moved all the way out to the outskirts of the North Bay where I saw the potential of my backyard... but had a massive hillside slope to deal with. It was too much for myself to DIY so I hired a company to help with my design. Now it's almost time to plant... this video had a lot of great ideas and information. Thanks for sharing! SUBSCRIBED and ready to learn more, COACH!!! 💪📝

[@YardCoach]

Good job! You knew your limits and sought help. Love to see the finished product. Coach.

[@lyndsiehelsel3082]

Your first home sounds exactly like the home that I just bought, and I have no idea what to do!

[@YardCoach]

Hey Lyndsie, I appreciate the the comment. If I can help in someway you let me know. You can email me if you would like. Congrats on your new home. Here if you need me. Coach

[@singlemomrvlife]

Thank you so much coach. Would you please list the ground cover names? As a not native English speaker, it’s hard for me to catch all these names.

[@YardCoach]

I will get those for you later today. Thanks for your interest in the channel and please consider subscribing. Any landscape questions you have don’t hesitate to ask. Coach Matt.

[@YardCoach]

Ground covers mentioned in this video were juniper, creeping rosemary, vinca minor, creeping jenny, myoporum parvifolium, drosanthemum iceplant, trailing gazania, emerald carpet manzanita. If you're interested in other ground covers for other applications, check out this video too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jofUnKGQZbSHnrc Thanks for the question. ~ Coach Matt

hey coach if your going to educate someone when using the phrase "get your damn mask on" you should be sure to put your damn mask on. Your welcome for my interest great content. Love ya coach!

[@YardCoach]

Well you are right, but many videos we do are remote and well away from peeps. I said it in jest, but in hind sight, that crap is always 20 20. no more C19 jokes I promise. thanks for interest in the channel. Any questions you need answered I hope I can help.

[@aliciam7851]

Great info, but it takes 10 minutes of word salad to get to the important information.

[@covfevetrump7307]

You had me until, "Get your damn mask on..."

[@YardCoach]

Just common sensical humor. Thanks for your interest.

[@rebeccacampbell8020]

I watched it anyway……and, masks don’t work.

[@rodrecker8120]

Too much talking

[@YardCoach]

Thx for watching Rod.

[@valeriemartin7042]

Sorry... outdoor work should be wholesome. If you can't watch your mouth, I can't listen. I'll learn from someone else.

[@zackdernass9652]

😂😂😂 can’t please everyone
