In today’s video it’s time to move my garden design from pixels and paper into reality and begin setting out the blank canvas garden transformation! Yes, you can talk about and mull over garden ideas, inspiration and border plans as much as you want but eventually it’s time to get your garden lawns and borders marked out and that today is today. For me, the key elements of my garden design are the circles so today I get those positioned and discuss some other garden design changes, other garden jobs and upcoming 2026 projects…

Over head footage remarkably steady well done !
This type of video is part of the journey so no apologies required.
There is another YouTuber planning to do a dead hedge so will be interesting to compare different methods.

🫡👌👌👌👌
So much room to work and play with, what a dream come true
Sorry if it’s already been said and you answered, but why not use those fence panels at the back to prevent the dogs from seeing the ones behind? ☺️ recycle
Really impressed with the super long sefie stick, and your ability to hold it steady, and your video's are never boring.
Exciting times George. Another great video. Can’t wait to see the circles dug out 👍🏻
Out standing in my field! Bwaha! Good one 😂
Deadheadges are fabulous for wildlife as I am sure you already know. We have several around our property in addition to several log/prunings piles and just from that we have had a boom in wildlife. If you build it, they will come! : )
You are shining in that thumbnail!
The footage from the long stick look quite like drone shots! Impressive!
Is the final first circle quite tangent to the path? I guess it is.
Thank you for your time filming and sharing George!🙋♂🌧🌞
Lovely garden in the making
As a landscaper I will say that I have marked jobs out with different colour spray that many times it looks like a rainbow. 😂 Sometimes you have to see it to feel it.
What does help is if after you have your design you draw it out on grath paper making the boundary to scale. You can then draw the circles on to scale which really saves time with measurements and setting out. You’ve got a lot of work ahead of you. It’s nice to see you enjoying it.
Great planning ❤
Great stuff, making me want and making me not want a huge garden in equal measures!
Love your enthusiasm George.looking forward to see how it goes
I know you have said you would do the pond way later, but i think i would recommend you start there and use the soil instead of getting out after and ruining the work you did by then.🤷 love the content 😉
I think I’d play with ovals and have them turned on different angles 😊
Great update! I did think a 1m step in would be too much 😂 that’s why it’s a temporary spray, George! Looking forward to the next one! Tom
Hi George, if you're worried about the circles disappearing, dig a narrow trench round them and they'll be there permanently.
Your videos are never boring George! Your excitement and joy is so inspiring to watch. I am enjoying watching your journey and my what a huge selfie stick you have! xxx
red plants will look fantastic backed by the olive and other blues ❤
you will be down to 14 stone in 18 mths mate carrying everything that distance 😂😂😂 either that or you will look like Hercules 😂
Great idea to have a lane for a wheel barrow george, or what we call in nz a haulage road
There really is nothing like laying it out with the spray paint. What it looks like on paper and in person can be different. I just wish those cans would last longer. I would probably put a marker post in the center of each circle so you can quickly go back and remark them later when you you’re ready to start working, since you know the diameters.
Another fantastic update George. Certainly motivates me to just try some ideas out – I am feeling rather overwhelmed by my large, untamed plot. The selfie stick worked perfectly. 😊
I think that you're Standing out in your field.😂🤣
Where’s Mark? I miss him! BUT Are you not tempted to hold a ‘games day’ event with some Youtube friends on your long field before you cultivate it? I’m thinking sack race, wheelbarrow race, egg and spoon etc with your signature epic slow motion film skills showing the winners and losers launch over the finish line (washing line) to the background soundtrack Chariots of Fire. Imagine 😂
Why not run the path down the left side. Then you'll not have a problem with a hedge growing into it. Plus you'll need access to paint the fence away. Love you 😘
Fantastic and so informative… I've learned about a dead hedge today which must be amazing for nature
Out of curiosity why can't you fly drones at a low level where you live
And or how come now you and your two neighbours have such amazing long gardens… was it once a field and then split into gardens
Learning so much on this journey
