In this video I show how I landscaped the front of my 1937 farmhouse that I have been renovating for the last 8 years. This is part 1 of a 3 part series so be on the lookout for those videos if you're wanting to learn more about landscaping your home.

Hi!
My name is Justin and I have my managed my family's business (S&K Greenhouse) for the last 10 years! It is a local garden center in Shelby, NC that my mom and dad started around 25 years ago.

We have a strong desire to discuss and teach gardening to the online community and welcome anyone who wants to learn. Though we have been involved in the plant world for decades we have found that there is always something to learn when it comes to gardening.

Whether you are a master gardener or just starting out this channel is for you. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our videos!

P. Allen Smith has the best tip of all when planting. He said to dig your hole, fill it full of water, let the water drain it into the soil and then plant. I took his advice 7 years ago and have not lost a plant since.

Would love to see a updated video. Maybe a tour of what of what it’s looking like now.

I really enjoy your videos!! You have great knowledge that you are willing to share and your sense of humor is awesome. You provide an energy that makes one excited for your next video. Love the planters up front. Cheers man!

OMG I just love you! You have given me better advice than any one on youtube or in person. Wish I would had seen your videos before wasting time with others! Bwt better late than never! Thank yow so much, you. rock!

Wow first man I’ve ever seen that knows about plants/shrubs. Great video! Gave me some ideas. Zone 8 here (NC) Thanks so much

So true. I don't have patience but have resisted planting lots of plants avoid planting too close to fill space. Instead, areas where there a temporary gap, I have planted some annuals. I try to research the maximum size plants will become and then space accordingly. This is why I love your channel as you provide the best advice that I can apply to zone 9 gardens.

Implant new shrubs for a house nuilt in 1950. Im layering knovkdown boxes above the clay soil to keep the weeds out. Im then layering with topsoil/mulch as i plant the new shrubs. Im excited to use your shrub selections. Thank you!

I hope I can find a few of the plants you recommended in PT 1 & 2 here in the Pacific Northwest. Love the bananappeal!!!!

Live in Clayton, Garner or Smithfield North Carolina, the soil doesn’t have as much clay. Cary, Raleigh, Apex, Morrisville, Holly Springs has a lot more clay and then west and North of those cities do as well, then North east of the first cities I listed also have a lot of clay also. Beautiful job! I love your porch railings! So modern and updated, very pretty! Lorepetulam would be beautiful with your home! I’m going to be taking out some knock out roses in one of my beds in the front yard and replacing with evergreens this year. Chocolate ajuga and liriope does better for us than that low grassy plant you are using. The ajuga blooms too! YES I’ve had plants die from root rot, roses, evergreens and other plants. I’ve, earned my lesson in 40 plus years of gardening and landscaping. One BIG thing I noticed that you do NOT do is tease those roots away from the root ball and most of your p, ants looked like they were root bound, crammed in those pots, so it would be best if you tease out, with a medium hand held pick ax to gently pull those roots down, so they grow down and out from the main root and underneath the plants. I took 2 years of landscaping at Wake Tech a few years back and learned that important info then and have been doing this ever since! I don’t lose plants anymore from being root bound in pots!!! Just my thoughts on your video. You are doing a fantastic job in your yard! Live the color mixes!

Thank you for all your tips. Looks so pretty 🙂

My knees and fingernails hurt watching you plant - must be nice to be young.
I gotta have my knee pad and gloves.
Great videos! Thanks for your time.

Landscape fabric is sold as an easy solution to stop weeds (who wouldn't want to lay a sheet down and be done with it?) but it stops nutrient cycling (starves soil) and creates an intense greenhouse effect that bakes microbes, worms and roots under the sun. When dirt accumulates on top of the fabric, weeds happily grow there too. Sheet mulching, on the other hand, provides nutrients to plants, contains moisture better, and keeps weeds down. Then you won't have sheets of degraded plastic to tear out in 5 years, just a healthy garden.

Nicely done! Thanks for the ideas. I’m in zone 8

[amandaclark]

I would love to see an update of your flower bed!

[robwillman]

Justin, great plant selection and design. How bout a follow up video?

[RioTheHitman]

Great video we need more videos from you

[NowGardening]

Great point about making the beds wide enough 👍🏻 The previous owners of our house made a nice brick-bordered bed but only gave about 3 feet of space for some bushes that are now huge. Also, I love how you're mixing up the colors and textures for your bed.
