DIY Front Yard Landscaping Makeover on a Budget

#Landscape #LandscapeDesign

Step by step front yard landscaping makeover. For this project we designed and installed plants for $950 in October 2021. We don't have access to a truck so $150 of that was spent on delivery fees. The price depends on what plants you select and maybe you have access to a truck.

In this video I go through step by step how to map out your landscape beds and finalized your DIY landscape design.

All of the plants we purchased are evergreen so we will have year round color and leaves. 4 of the plants "Gardenia's", the plants with red leaves. They are deciduous but were already planted.

For this project we came in right at $950.
• Boulders Free
• Lots of Mulch $100 + $100 delivery.
• Blue Spruce was the most expensive but it was our specimen tree. Both of us loved it. $250
• 8 of the plants were relocated. Consider re-using the plants you have, just move them to a better location
• The rest of the plants, soil conditioner and wine barrel was $400 + $100 delivery

Plants List
• Blue Spruce - Fat Albert
• Blue Star Juniper
• Golden Mop Cypress
• Arborvitae
• Mugo Pine
• Lorapetelum

Looks beautiful! First time home owner here! Very pleased to know I can use my excess of cardboard boxes from multiple furniture and Amazon purchases for our upcoming landscaping projects :D Nice tip with the vinegar spray; will try that as well!

Finally someone showing the process and the result. It's full of people just talking without showing nothing. Thanks for the whole process.

1:07... "the larger your landscape beds are, less grass you have to cut." Exactly! Enjoyed the video. Cheers!

Some really great ideas! ……good color mix along with using what makes you happy! One of my first “oops” when I first started landscaping, was planting a blue spruce and not allowing enough space for eventual growth. Blue spruce can get Very large. Luckily, I was able to sell it to a tree moving service and plant another “anchor” tree that would fit the space.😊 Another hint: the boulders and large rocks tend to look more natural if you slightly bury a portion of them in the ground. Happy landscaping!🌻🌲🌷

I'm using the no dig method also for laying out my beds. I've been in my house for 18 years. Last year, I started working on the landscape / curb appeal.

Great job. I also am using boxes instead of plastic to control weeds. Looks great.

I love the before/after shot, looks great! I wasn’t expecting to laugh so much during this video, you guys are fun. My husband and I just bought our first house and we are excited to do some of our own landscaping!

Was going to say "Where's the obvious wheelbarrow to spread mulch?" Nice to see start to finish.

LUV..LUV...Your Green Wheelbarrow Brandon!! Great Job Kiddos👍!!! Place Looks Great Y'all, Best Wishes For Happy Returns ‼️😃‼️

You're my hero. I needed to see the process of replacing grass with a garden. My goal is to replace nearly all of my grass to make a native plant pollinator and veggie garden. I may use Chip Drop for free wood chips instead of processed mulch.

[nolagirl]

Love that little green boat you were using to transport the mulch.. smart!

[mailywong]

Great video, thank you for sharing your ideas

[jdonnelly]

OMG, using a sled instead of an expensive wheelbarrow... that is genius. That alone may have saved me $150! hahah

[simplifyourhome]

Loving your design. Getting some ideas. Awesome project!!

[vickikeeler]

Glad you had a plan. I guessed right off that you might be in the Carolina area.

[winky]

That looks great! Wondering how it's going now, and how it's changed. Those projects are what makes a house a home. Keep it up! 🥳
