Creating a Garden Space That Will Last - Before building your raised garden beds

I'll show you the most important first steps in creating a garden that will last a lifetime. Do this before building your raised garden beds, plant your in ground flower garden, or and other type of backyard garden or front yard garden.

The process of properly preparing the foundation and underground utilities for a garden space is the key to creating a highly functional garden with minimal long term maintenance and maximum yield. After over 15 years of creating home gardens I’m finally creating my dream garden in my backyard by drawing on everything I’ve learned from previous gardens to create a space that it beautifully, functional, and long lasting. This is a lot of work up front, but it will pay off ten fold in the amount of time, effort, and headaches that often arise when the foundation of a garden space is not properly designed and built from the beginning. So do yourself a favor and do it right the first time!

One of my favorite garden YouTubers. Great to see him back after so long.

[stuckinthes.]

You are multi talented and detail oriented. Your videos are amazing as you explain each process so well. One of the most hard working people I’ve seen. Happy gardening and keep those videos coming as it encourages more people to want to grow their own vegetables, fruits and flowers.

My God! This project is the most complex on this side of the London Gardens! It's hardened in case of nuclear war. While this is a fantastic channel, the time and money investment to do a project to this degree of completion scares the hell out of 75% of would-be gardeners. There are other ways to achieve results without this level of execution. Make no mistake, that this is not criticism rather a rare YT declaration of excellence. But I'm exhausted just watching it.

A man working with hands and who can build stuff is the hottest thing.

This is by far, one of my favorite gardening channels. You rock kind sir!

My husband & I watched this video probably 14 times to get everything set up for our garden. Thank you so much for putting the time into these videos, and the way you set the video up made it easy for us to refer back to and check our work. We ripped out our lawn & im so excited for the front yard garden.

I bought 4 raised beds this year to put in my backyard flanking my back door. I just love how yours are set up to walk outside and your garden is right there!

[willie]

I loved your previous garden, but I really like what you've done so far. It's very neat, tidy, functional and beautiful. I look forward to seeing the rest of the videos 👍

Glad to see you back with new videos. IMO, you have created the gold standard for backyard raised bed gardens! Positively stunning space.

Kyle, I remember being introduced to your gardening passion/abilities a few years ago in a Better Homes and Gardens issue and then finding your YT channel to be able to follow your work. Your knowledge, work ethic, and ability to teach are absolutely second to none. You have done an amazing job of transforming your property and you are an encouragement to all of us as we continue to either start and/or improve our gardens. Happy for you and proud of you for the work you do and the harvest(s) you get. Perfect video!

So satisfying to watch but I know it’s a lot of work and took quite some time!! Well done can’t wait for more

[nub-cake]

I'm watching this at 50k views. It's going to get millions easily, this is wonderful!

PLEASE PLEASE SHOW THE REST OF THIS PROJECT! WE ARE DOING OUR BEDS ON THURSDAY AND YOUR TIPS HAVE BEEN AMAZING!!!

[ebytwinbabel]

Glad to see new videos coming! Thanks, Kyle!

[MarkHumphreysChannel]

So much labor, so much money invested, but oh so worth it! Can’t wait to see how this looks with your summer crop.

[SWAYLAB]

Absolutely incredible. I’m browsing YouTube to see some ideas for raised garden beds for my aging parents. They love to garden but still do it old school and planting directly onto the floor. Your video is meticulously made and your raised beds look like they will last decades. There’s so much work put into the leveling of the floor that it’s a bit intimidating. Thank you for sharing your work. I can only hope that I can create something decent like your garden. 💚

[kevinfowler]

Best garden videos I've seen on YouTube. Thanks for putting this out there.

[chuckboyd]

Holy Moly. That’s a lot of work but what a fantastic end result. Excellent job.
