Those who have Laura in their family are truly blessed.

[@crochetgardenrepeat]

I couldn’t agree more!

[@soccermom1245]

This sounds over the top.

[@LadyCourtney13]

@@soccermom1245 Romancing the ordinary. I think its perfect!

[@GardenMinistry.]

Yeah! She also helps her neighbors, friends, her church, her community college, and city. What a blessing to everyone! Spreading the love ❤

[@petpawteek8776]

I’m sitting here wondering how I can marry into the family 😂😂

[@Mama-sm3gw]

Thank you Monica for letting us come along with this transformation and of course Laura for her magical touch.

[@Midwestmomvolunteer365]

So very kind of the family to share their spaces with us.

[@sharongreen5655]

Laura is good to her family and her family is good to her. So simple and so unachievable for many families. V exciting transformation for Monica and her man. It is going to be stunning when it’s done. 😳

[@Inaknow]

Where to find how this garden came out? Is it a no 2 video?

[@dianequist835]

I have a soft spot for Monica ... there is such a sweet disposition associated with her. She and hubby are really going to enjoy the backyard!

[@hoodbimbo]

surely!

[@livelove8023]

I agree!❤

[@vickieyoung7122]

Same here

[@gretchenburton7184]

Yes!!! She is special❤❤❤

[@laurakay777]

I agree. Monica and Laura are a great team. It takes a strong mom to create a foundation for a loving bond between siblings. Right when the video began, I felt the sisterly love big-time. 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

[@lauravandien2363]

Nooo! I didn’t want this video to end! What a fantastic job Pedro and his crew were able to accomplish in a short time. The space is going to be beautiful. You can tell how much Laura loves helping Monica, and Monica is so excited. Kudos to everyone👏👏

[@cathywilliams8160]

I have watched it 3 time. The transformation has been so exciting to watch.

[@MicheleLHarvey]

WOW! That is one jam-packed garden area! So fab! I'd never think to add stone to it! Those workmen are truly masters of their craft! Adding touch of Monica's childhood home along with her culinary love. Goes to show what can be done with a small area & do it beautifully! So happy for Monica(s). lol. Wishing her all happiness in her new home & now new garden!

[@Gin0827]

Amen to your comment. Susan did something right with these two girls. They all are truly blessed to have each other during these times. I think their love of family is why their channel is so popular. 🌸🌳

[@juliehinkel608]

I always appreciate influencers,or anyone, who gives credit and recognition to the craftsmen and women who provide the skills for difficult projects. Well done.

[@TheFarmOnSleepyHollow]

I am so, so, so happy for Monica - she is such a sweet person! Can't wait to see how the yard looks once it's completed. Thanks for sharing the process with us!

[@wagnerab1958]

I love everything about Monica, she seems so humble and down to earth. Her kitchen is gorgeous, so nice to see a glimpse of a modern home. Go Monica!

[@leeannekilgore9477]

Me too! She’s great. I love it when she’s in episodes too. Plus Mom. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@courtneysediblegarden518]

Laura starts a gardening youtube channel so she doesn’t have to do landscaping plans for people… several of the last few videos are of her doing landscaping plans for people 😂 but I’m sure it’s more fun when it’s optional and done for friends & family ❤

[@cynthiafisher9907]

😂

[@notthatkindofsam]

I think when you can do it because you want to and are good at it, verses having to do it for work there's a huge difference in the enjoyment levels :)

[@GardenMinistry.]

I love that you guys highlight these smaller sized projects! It gives us suburban folks so many great ideas and inspiration! Even with the small nectarine plant, I didn't know about it until today, now I gotta get one! 😂❤

[@Sun-Soul]

This! 😊

[@kiemc1855]

WOW! Pedro is a true professional he really knows his craft! I was amazed how he used his foot to mark out the line for the wall.

[@dangardens]

I am so happy to see you doing projects at family members' homes. I know you mentioned before that you don't like to create designs for other people, but to see your assistance in gardens that are more common in size than your amazing garden really helps put things into perspective. Cant wait to see this project come to fruition!

[@joydaniel597]

Yes it’s nice to see a relatable garden size.

[@Peoniesandpinks]

The stone wall looks as if it’s been there forever. I love this

[@SCR1977]

I cannot express how fun this whole garden makeover series is. This channel is very much about seeing the possibility from a blank slate, or reimagining an existing space. So cool.

[@katedorman7042]

The rock terracing is a really, really pretty addition to that yard. Monica is precious.

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

Such fun seeing raw space come to life. Thanks to Monica for allowing us to follow along! Hey Monica, will you be sharing the recipe for those delicious looking cinnamon rolls?? Hint hint. 🥰

[@Sisteryoda1440]

I know, right? Those looked delicious 😋!!!

[@sarahwinsnes6015]

Monica is such a dear wee soul. So happy for her and can't wait to watch!🙏💖

[@whitcarter12]

All I could think while watching this one is that it should be a TV show!!! I could perfectly imagine Laura working with homeowners and doing this from start to finish in so many backyards and varying landscapes. I’d tune in every episode for sure!!!

[@SisterShirley]

@Whit Carter, this IS a tv show. An independent tv show. Garden Answer answers to very few. Laura and Aaron have COMPLETE creative control. They have pretty much said they wouldn't want to do it any other way. And on my tv is where I watch it.

[@madeleinelowe7748]

Also landscaping others’ spaces is what Laura least enjoys if I’m not wrong.

[@iamthewhimsy]

That would then require Laura to do garden plans and she haaaaaates that. 😅

[@MichelleLieven-nr2ik]

They weee approached years ago and have repeatedly said no way to a tv show Right now they like their hours around kids schedules, to film what they want with zero plans and not made to have a certain production schedule, etc. I agree with them. A show would take the spontaneity and organic way of filming they have and we probably wouldn’t enjoy it as much in the end. Tv shows and corporate agendas tend to ruin things and make them seem too rehearsed

[@annaa.7554]

The stone wall looks great; those guys are hard workers. I noticed that Arbs are always used. Are there other evergreen options that would give a similar look?

[@terrylloyd2666]

I'm sure Monica loves having a sister like Laura to help with the landscaping❤️

[@twilde3754]

These backyard changes that you have done lately are so fun (and instructive!) to watch. I would not have a clue how to begin -- it's great to watch the pros!!!

[@lindakelly6444]

Pedro and his guys did an awesome job! So happy for Monica and her hubby! She looks so happy and is being guided by the one and only Laura! Can't wait for the next video! Love the kitty too!❤❤❤

[@lindaga820]

So excited for sweet Monica just love her personality ! Thank you guys for taking us along on this project, it's so interesting to see the changes. Please let Pedro and his crew know how much we love the impeccable work they do. !!!!!

[@sonialegault8673]

Monica's home is absolutely beautiful. This is going to be fun to watch for sure

[@leahvestal1354]

I learn so much from you working in your own yard. However, seeing you working in a smaller yard on a smaller scale, is relatable and equally as valuable. I love seeing these new family projects. Thank you so much!

[@therealdjmotley]

Monica must be so excited about a brand new home and yard. I'm excited for her. Can't wait to see more.

[@diannehiggs]

So lucky that we can come along on this journey. Monica's house looks lovely and the garden is going to be the crowning glory. ❤

[@karenschrantz2307]

Love the separation even in a small yard, really cosy feel but not just a big rectangle. Great idea!

[@robertamurphy4310]

There are so many levels (pardon the pun 😊) to love about this project! The slope issue is big and a constant fight for many of us. You upcycling the arbor and big pot from your home is also lovely to see! Just seeing it go from blank slate to finish, as with your SIL’s space, is a delight as well. The enthusiasm you have in doing these two projects for others in your life is so contagious!

[@claytoncomeaux414]

Romancing the Stone. So happy for you, Monica ❤.

[@jaleinegreen7411]

Thanks for taking us along so we can watch Monica‘s yard come to life! Can’t wait to see the final product, and I loved meeting Ash 🖤

[@JenniferPerryMyScraproom]

I am so excited for Monica. What a fun time for the family.

[@conniemcquaid8795]

It’s so interesting to see what you can do with a typical size yard You bring beauty where you go!

[@liseforget1687]

I had to watch this twice. I love this for Monica. She deserves such good things. Laura and their Mom say that Monica is a people pleaser. Her turn to be pampered with a beautiful backyard. Love the joy on Monica’s face when she was trying out the steps. So exciting for her.

[@rebeccalowry9296]

Love the progress on Monica’s garden. It’s so nice to see how you can transform a small space to make it beautiful and functional!

[@cherylhurst4390]

So excited for Monica and her husband settling into their beautiful new home, and so enjoying seeing the transformation of Monica’s and Laura’s sister-in-law’s garden/yard transformations.

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura and Monica! Monica, I love the floor plan inside the house. I'm so happy for you and Nick. The backyard will be amazing. I'm looking to seeing the transformation. Pedro an his crew did a fantastic job on the stone walls and steps. Thank you both for sharing!

[@mollypitcher9380]

I love that kitchen island!

[@jodip719]

Could I just adopt you as a sister please? Love watching you two together! Beautiful project ♥️

[@barbaracarlson1331]

This will be such a wonderful space! Thanks for taking us along! So happy for Monica and Nick!

[@Kay_1think4u]

Laura's excitement is contagious 😊

[@beetee3272]

I am just so excited for Monica to have this come together 👏🏻

[@carole4119]

Her garden is magnificent And I relate to her very much In Design artistry. Architecture. And quality Just lovely

[@emilydeleon1011]

What a transformation already! Thank you for showing how to take a “blank” space and create such a beautiful change! I am such a visual person that it is often challenging for me to imagine what a space could become. You all are doing a great job with this!! Can’t wait to see more.

[@latonyae8162]

What a nice job they've done so far, I know it's going to look awesome once finished. How exciting for Monica and her husband!

[@carolynmangipudi9898]

❤Good Morning Garden Answer friends!! Love Monica's house! The amount of work involved in that rock work was phenomenal! This really helped me envision our backyard, since we are on a slope too.. Seeing Pedro's team working, the professional way of how, what & why, soo much work. They deserve every penny earned. I can't wait to see the beauty of blooms, with the greenery coming together this space to evolve. I am excited for Monica. Have a great day!

[@judy5572]

Laura is such a blessing to all who knows her! She absolutely ROCKS ❤

[@shirleysenkler781]

This is going to be so perfect, love the rock walls and can't wait to see you and Monica actually planting.

[@sharonanderson346]

That wall is beautiful! It really defines her back yard!

[@beckybroussard2078]

SO NICE to see YOU NOT doing ALL the work the whole time, for a change. Pretty job too. Really enjoying the changed up, video content, like when ya go antique or shopping for various reasons at various places. All you do is inspiring, with impressive results. Educational how tos, push my creativity, even if in small/tiny ways my budget or space allows. Love your knowledge, talent & personality.

[@kelseydalziel3514]

That rock wall is perfect! I can't wait to see what this space blossoms into. ❤

[@kathierogers3208]

Oh what fun! This is going to be beautiful! So happy for Monica and hubs!

[@brianandtamiolson2330]

Yay for Monica! This is going to be such a rewarding and fun way to give your sister and her husband The gift of a lifetime. This yard transformation will last her for a very very long time, and she has all access to the most wonderful plants and landscaper, you, that anybody could ask for. Thank you so much for taking us along and showing us how to take nothing into something.

[@heidieverett8394]

Monica is getting more comfortable on camera she is so sweet. Love this family !

[@Jaxx007x]

Wow! This is going to be an absolutely beautiful space. Pedro and his crew are doing an incredible job.

[@marblehead3398]

Love Monica's home and everything about this project. Love even color of her fence. Beautiful and will be so charming💜

[@karynzaslow968]

First class! Love your vision for your sister and nice upgrade for her home.

[@mollypitcher9380]

Just increased the property value!!! GREAT!!!

[@oceanbreezes1]

So happy Monica will be enjoying this beautiful new space, she is such a sweet soul and deserves all the help she is getting, and it doesn’t get better than help from Laura to build a beautiful backyard oasis, great job Laura

[@annhenry4404]

I can picture little Laura and little Monica as children playing together in the yard moving their toys in a little wagon! The weather has provided a perfect opportunity for Laura and Aaron to share their talents and set up gardens for their families. How lovely.

[@maureengee364]

WOW WOW WOW. Pedro and his crew are amazing and look at the progress. Amazing job. Monica’s house looks gorgeous. It’s going to look fantastic. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us. Appreciated.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@amberbiggs]

Wow, what a huge difference. The space looks amazing! The wall added so much dimension and I love the plan to create a separate room by the arbour. Monica seems like such a kind soul. It's always nice to see her and your mom in the videos.

[@deezahm9143]

🌷Wow, this is so wonderful for Monica and Rick. Laura, your landscape drawing is so neat! Monica is the sweetest and it fits their new home beautifully. Can’t wait to see the finale! In the meantime, coffee….wish I had that pan of cinnamon rolls here! ☕️👏🏻🌸🌼😁

[@kuhlbreezegardens8663]

Congratulations Monica and Nick on your new home! This project is going to be amazing.

[@mariehughes7732]

The transformation is incredible. Can't wait to see the whole thing done.

[@tammyroberts902]

Monica & Husband, thank you for having us in your home, great job so far Laura, Pedro & team!!🎄

[@debrabeard1830]

Wow, the smile that you brought to your sister with all the plans and help is amazing! I'm sure she and her family and friends will enjoy this yard for years! Such pride and joy you have brought! And a good landscaper is very important! Can't wait to see it finished!❤

[@lindagardener855]

That is looking absolutely gorgeous! Great idea doing the terracing -it really adds dimension and interest. Love Monica’s beautiful home too💖💖💖 Just gorgeous.

[@karenjohnston7082]

Wow Pedro and his crew were able to make such a transformation in a short time love how looks &Monica looks so excited ❤

[@ranchhomeliving]

Love the rock wall! Love seeing the transformation, thank you for sharing. :)

[@jcking6785]

So fun to see Laura and Monica working on this beautiful project together. (The sister bond is so special ♥️). Can’t wait to see the results; I know it will be spectacular! 💚

[@lindamyers9842]

We are living in our motor home temporarily, to be available for my 94 yr old parents. We don’t have much room to grow things, but I love watching your videos. Your sweet disposition and your knowledge of plants make it so very calming to watch your videos. 😍

[@gpswatching]

This is shaping up to possibly be my favorite of all time Garden Answer video. (OG viewer) Love, love the terraced transformation and so happy for Monica and Nick!!

[@atmemawshouse]

Laura and Monica are so sweet together! Great job on the plans. It looks beautiful so far. Can’t wait to see the progress.❤

[@Gardengirlie04]

Must say I’m a wee bit envious of the rock wall. What a team of professionals. Monica is going to have such a beautiful garden area… can’t wait to see finished and in full bloom late summer

[@franhasbrouck7661]

How exciting for Monica and her husband. Such a nice gesture for family.💚

[@eberlinschwinn5634]

We all need access to Pedro and his guys. Working with raw stone and creating something so beautiful so quickly… just WOW! Thank you Monica, Nick, and Ash for sharing your project with us. And Laura… wonderful, as always.

[@whitneyweimar8981]

We are wanting to do a very similar rock wall/terrace in our garden the same size. Does anyone know a rough cost for this?

[@cathyhermanson10]

Laura: You are so supportive of your family and they do the same for you. I am happy for Monica and her husband that you are doing her garden because they know that it will be beautiful. It is great to start with a blank slate....get it? A silly pun for the rock and yard. Yes, flower beds that are wider are even more gorgeous!

[@yvonnezyirek5167]

Am I the only one who teared up watching the entire family come together for this garden project ❤ sweetest family.

[@marybradleyblack]

Congratulations Laura on being featured in Proven Winners "The Gardeners Idea Book" article Crafted with Heart!!! 🎉❤🎉

[@annmckelroy3230]

While you usually accompany my first cup of coffee each morning and I enjoy seeing what you are doing at home, I am really enjoying the work at the sister/sister-in-law's gardens because that is a little more relatable to my small space. Your talent is very enviable! Love to start my day with you.

[@julietarojas1978]

Shout out to Pedro and his crew for Doing an excellent job!!! It's already looking good! Can't wait to see the final product 🙌

[@evieh9930]

I realize you don't want to do landscaping for people, but you do such a fabulous job. I love this concept ❤.

[@dorothyevans1493]

Bravo sisters!! Watching you two is what life is about. 😅Thank you Monica for allowing us into your beautiful home and garden.

[@adz5bneweng589]

So excited to see this come together for Monica. And my congratulations to them on their new house!

[@lorenam5495]

It's incredible to see how this space has changed in just 2 days. Excited for Monica and her hubby to enjoy this space.

[@annwoleben5439]

I am so excited for Monica and her husband! Looking forward to seeing the completion of this project~and her vision for her garden.

[@Ladythyme]

These smaller gardens and landscaping are what draws me here… more intimate and cozy.

[@psilva1483]

Pedro and his crew are doing such a beautiful job! Love it!

[@allisonpilmer451]

Ohhhh Monica & husband-you’re home 🏡 and garden are coming along gorgeously!! Congratulations on such a milestone accomplishment!

[@nancyreier1070]

So beautiful can’t wait to see both areas when they are done. Love the rock wall they did a fantastic job. So nice that ur helping them both out. God bless u and urs.

[@keradee8742]

I have so amazed with people who can have a vision for a blank space. This is going to be a pretty and cozy space!

[@risalangdon9883]

Laura, tell your sister Monica thank you for allowing us to invade her space!!!! It is going to be amazing when you gals get done with it!!!

[@tonigardella4165]

[@asianangie7209]

Looks really beautiful! Plz show us the pergola and the choice of furniture. Can’t wait to see it all planted up! Love your kitchen and living room too!

[@christinelewis1825]

What an awesome project for Monica & her husband! So glad to be along for the ride! With Laura involved no doubt it will be beautiful!

[@oilinmylamp]

This is so exciting! 🎉 Looking forward to watching it unfold!

[@monicalugo1035]

I'm a Monica too and have a sister who is also great with gardening but her name is Margo. This is a hobby we share and we both love Garden Answer. We love that you include your mom and Monica in your videos. We think you should have an annual contest to have sisters who are fans of G.A. to join you for a project....we'd enter that contest!

[@lifeonkensingtonroad]

I've been so excited for this one! 💛

[@sallydunbar1683]

Love Monica! So glad you're able to help her out with a beautiful space at her home! Pedro and his guys are craftsmen!

[@joyces.9021]

Just curious, did you have to get the water/electrical/gas services located first?

[@karenplante3801]

I'm so excited for Monica!! What a total blessing! It is already transformed with the steps, and the flagstone wall and it looks fabulous!! Great bones and a firm foundation to build a beautiful garden with some great plants. I can not wait to see what Monica picks out for the plants. Way to go, team Monica

[@cneilson4488]

It’s too bad this family can’t find cats with more personality 😆 Thank you for sharing part of your home, Monica! This is going to be so beautiful. I had to laugh watching Laura and Monica’s Dad carrying an arb over to the fence, since we’ve heard that he thinks they’re all looking for a reason to die. It’s great to see a smaller yard getting a glow up. I feel like I’m somewhere between Laura and Monica on space and am able to take from both for inspiration. Can’t wait for more!

[@baxterbuggie8873]

My sister & I are so close and you & Monica remind me of us when we were much younger. What a treat this garden is to watch unfold---along with your interactions with Monica!
