FRONT YARD TRANSFORMATION - Start to Finish!! | Joshua's Garden

I have been waiting a long time to get this project completed, but everything is finally done! This year these plants won't grow much, but rather focus on root development. Next year we will see a lot of growth on these plants, and many more blooms as well! We are planning to water these plants through the rest of the season until they are established.

Here is more information for each of the plants we put in the ground!

Ten years from now you're gonna wish you'd never Planted that pine tree that close to your house, take It out now there are so many dwarf pine trees you could use instead

I love this video. Watching the "demolition" without description or explanation was interesting to watch. I admit it was a little difficult watching those mature shrubs get pulled out but the end result is wonderful. Thank you for the brief, concise description at the end of plant name and needs.

Great video, thanks for bringing us along. Look forward to seeing everything grow. I’m sure your Dad is so happy too! 😊

Consider plants like clethra, button bush, Native viburnum, regent serviceberry, pencil point juniper, Native hydrangeas, herbaceous hibiscus, Joe pye weed, mountain Laurel, spice bush, witch Hazel, and so many more. There is a Native lilac; the California lilac.

BIG transformation. So much hard work. Great job

If a tree is going grow to be 20 feet wide, that means the diameter is going to be 20 feet, and the radius is 10 feet. Tie a string to the tree and go around it. That’s what you can expect, and plant it accordingly so it does not undermine the foundation of the house or block anything important like gas meters.

Even if you prune back the tree, the root ball will still be as wide as the original tree would have been, so keep that in mind. The root ball will grow to its own parameters.

What a great video! Loved watching those old roots being taken out. So nice to start anew!! Thanks for sharing.

I love before and after transformations! This was such a huge project from start to finish! Seeing your dad bring out the heavy equipment brought back memories of me as a youngster helping my uncle and dad cut trees in the summertime. These are the kind of projects you'll always cherish 😊.
You now have much more interest for all seasons and can actually see the house! Great job!

So refreshing!!! I love a fresh new start and you have really updated the landscape with your choice of plants. I am excited for you guys and can't wait to watch everything grow into their new home. Amazing job, Joshua!!!

As a homeowner who purchased a home with a crap ton of these stupid yew bushes too close to the foundation… this was so satisfying seeing them be ripped from the earth 😂 The end result was so beautiful! Thank you for sharing the process with us! ❤

[pbear]

Wow, your soil is like melted butter! I would plant a ton more if mine were like that!

[lovinglife]

Wow! That was a lot of work.. I feel you guys.. my husband and I done it 3yrs. Ago in front of my house. I love everything you did. And love all the plants... yes.. those pine trees can be prune and control the size. 😊

Well I am very impressed, not only with the work you put into this, but your selection of plantings. I too wonder if the first pine was planted too close to the house but if you have done your research will bow to your choice. I am always so happy to see young people digging in and having a strong interest in gardening. Nice work!

I wish I had help doing my yard. I planted two trees and eleven shrubs this year. I also dug out 5 shrubs, pruned a 30-foot raspberry patch and 25-foot grape vine. All at the ripe age of 60. I'm pretty much whooped. 😅

[shirleywilhite]

Awesome transformation. Looking great. Thanks for taking us along.

[hannahadlergontard]

Please Joshuah, show us the garden next year!

[SKopp-qmpc]

I may have missed it, and I apologize if I did, it was the perfect time and opportunity to put that gutter drain into a bucket in the ground. You can still do it.

[keithcardwell]

Why plant that pine so close to the house if it gets 20 feet wide?

[imaginecastles]

I love the transformation but think the white pine is too close to the house. For fire safety reasons, you really don't want pine branches overhanging the roof.

[annparsons]

Wow. Great job. Looks so much better without those terrible bushes. They don't bloom and they attract wasps. Those junipers are a nightmare.
