This client wanted a flower bed stretched all the way across her backyard. It came out to be 77 foot long and 5 foot wide for a total of 385 square ft. The goal is to install a beautiful lowmaintenance flower bed. I started out by stripping the bed to a top soil layer, then digging holes for all the plants. Next, I installed a woven heavy duty landscaping fabric. This will keep weeds from germinating in the top soil layer and keep the rocks from settling into the soil. Along the front of the bed, I staggered pink and white flowering aelas. Along the back, I installed Golden Globe Arborites. The holes are dug twice the size of the pot that the plant comes in and installed with fresh top soil to asssure proper root growth. The final step was to install 1 and 12 to 2 in Arkansas river rock. Using my Toro Multifor bring the rock from the front of the house to the back made this an absolute breeze. Here’s a shot of the final results. Let me know in the comments if you would have this installed in your backyard. This client had us renovate the flower bed in her front yard, so be sure to follow along to see the upcoming video. Thanks for watching. and I’ll see you on the next one. Peace.

I would of put in a few trees on a trellis frame along the back.
What tool did you use to pull up the grass to get the bare dirt?
Nope
Did you have any issues after this project with those rocks getting loose out in the yard and damaging your lawn mower?
Beautiful 🤩 I want the same thing
Although it's completely vanilla and bland without biodiversity to me, that's just my style, I'm sure the owner loves it and maybe they'll add and change to it over the years depending on their skills or interest. My only big pet peeve is landscaping fabric with is just a horror over the years and really bloody bad for the environment. For every one person that loves it, I can give you 50 that hate it (landscaping fabric)
Yes😮
Ugly and tacky af
Weed Matt 👎👎🙅🙅
It’s beautiful, but please don’t use topsoil for planting. Grab some garden soil. It’s just a couple dollars more 🦋
No. That's not a full sun FLOWER bed. Those are bushes and they get big. Big no
Love it brother!
It will take forever for them to grow
Hell to the no.
God no…
Should’ve levelled it first
Looks uneven and crooked af
Flower bed? Where?
It’s not my style, but it’s an improvement over boring grass.
Encore une bache plastique….
Good job but too sterile. I prefer natural and earth showing with lots of different things for wildlife to flourish.
Absolutely gorgeous, good job!
77 feet of boring😮
Paint the fence please
💪🏽👍🏽👏🏽
No I would not
Where are the flowers
Works looks👍BUT azaleas 👎👎theyre expensive and not much bang for the $$ and wheres the rest of the the flowers???
Planting and design for a supermarket car park.
Why not work with the owner to design a long border filled with native flowering species – for season-long successional colour?
Plant native plants. This is so sad looking
Looks nice bro but I wish you could have install something more colorful but also I’m sure its the customers budget
This is dope, but id rather go with mulch. Ofc it comes with extra maintenance but also less concern letting leaves, clippings, etc getting in it. Once that liner life is up, gravel beds are a pita
Would've talked then into design solar fence lighting.
Lmao what a crap of a job I can get a home depot gut to that ugly ass job
How much did they pay
3000
Azaleas do not like full sun. If you selected the flowering bushes for that location, you might consider going back and replacing them with another kind of bush.😢
That weed mat works for about 1 year then completely fails, and heavy rain it only helps wash away the mulch.
That is awesome work, well done ❤
Nice transformation ❤
No flowers?
This client asks for grass genocide.i can only bring green and not unworthy browns
Beautiful
What did you do with the Sprinkler System that would have already been in place??
Nice
Hi, what did you use to remove the grass? Nice work.
