Dude, I like how your not intimidated when tackling new projects that you are not familiar with. You have come a long way with this channel, great job.

That pine would look incredible w some proper pruning... big bonsai style

Looks good. A suggestion would be put a flat stone to finish off the retaining wall. It gives a sitting place and hides the gaps between the stones.

What you’ve been able to accomplish on this house in incredible. The fact that you can humbly say you don’t always know what your doing is so real, but your projects always turn out great! You’re a true inspiration for everyday people who aren’t professionals, and you give that feeling that we can do these types of projects too. All the power to you, God bless ✊🏼

Plants are only “low water” usage after they are well established.
You’ll need to water very regularly this first year, especially being surrounded by hot rocks. Having everything dug up like that would also have been the perfect time to add a drip system, so you don’t have to hand water everything.

Also please fertilize that evergreen you beat up.

Have you considered getting a Bonsai Gardner to trim up n shape the pine in the retaining wall??

That evergreen u planted has a clay rootball. U have to be careful when planting those, it’s possible to kill the tree if you crack the clay. You really don’t have to worry about the burlap, get a hole large enough for the rootball and take the burlap away from the crown of the trunk and remove the twine securing the burlap in place. Over time the roots will establish through the burlap and eventually, the burlap will biodegrade completely. Let’s hope when that clay cracked you didn’t tear off the majority of the root system!! Most likely it’ll be fine, just something to think about in the future.

Great turnaround!
Just wondering if these small "beauty rocks" are a US thing? In Europe we'd defo use woodchips for the warmer tones. but I guess this is cheaper/less upkeep (and future costs)

Hey man, Getting that Skid-loader was a very wise move. Wheel-barrows were a Game changer 100 years ago (may be not that long ago), but using Hydraulics is the way to go. Good job!!
The dirt around the Tree may have too much to allow the tree roots to breath. It sounds odd & ridiculous, but tree roots have to “Breath”. I’ve read that 2” of dirt around a tree per year is the maximum before the dirt starts to choke the tree roots, which can start to kill the tree.

Did this recently with the same retaining blocks - from what I read I left about 1-1.5" gapping on the bottom row for curves like he did (inverse curves are opposite problem) and it turned out great. My curves weren't as gentle though so that may play a part and I was able terminate the ends into my house on either side so no matching up the blocks around a circle.

when i level a circle i put in 4 posts to form halve a hex or semi circle and level those lines it works pretty well

Fantastic job! My shoulder hurts just watching. Hard work pays off though. You have done such a lovely job on the whole place; thoughtful, functional, and beautiful. I'm looking forward to the next project :)

I would have laid out each layer of brick before I glued them. Then you could cut the bricks accordingly so you aren't left with ones that are nearly stacked on top of each other. Also please put cap stones on that wall, it looks 100x better with them, otherwise it looks extremely diy if left like you did it.

Great job!! Money and time well spent.

i'd recess the stepping stones into the gravel-y rock to reduce risk of them wobbling around when you step on them which could lead to injury

Because each layer of brick is stepped in from the lower one, the radius of the circle gets smaller. That's why the stones don't line up. i don't see any way to avoid this, sadly.

I did an oval in my grandmother's back yard... I had to trim just one corner of of every block... But once it was in, you couldn't tell . It was class!!

No drip line? I feel that if you know where the plants are going that would have need a perfect time to set it up. As far as the retaining wall. You could have take off a little of two and it would be less noticeable. As you step in the perimeter gets smaller, so you need fewer bricks.
