  1. Beautiful garden! Any chance that you'll be adding closed captioning for the hearing impaired? The visual is gorgeous and I'd like to catch the narration as well.

  2. We've just added captions to the video. Just click the subtitles button in the lower right and select English. Thanks so much for watching!

  3. I would love to know the price of all the Pea Gravel and those Fountains. She speaks about 'natural beauty' but this garden did not come to look like this naturally. I like the outline of the grass she did with the gravel. That is a very nice idea.

  4. My favorite is the court yard, the square shape and the fire place and the stone wall.

  5. I wish they would do a video of one of these yard makeovers from the beginning. I imagine they are bringing in big machines to reshape the land prior. I really want to know how they get all the electricity and water underground to all the features without any visible cords, pipes, etc.

  6. "Doesn't look so perfect all the time," so true.
    Not a busy garden – very appealing on the eye.

  7. My goodness! I can look at your garden all day! It is so soothing and cohesive. The walled portions really help provide a sense of coziness and privacy. Beautifully done!

  8. Taking notes! Pragmatism, water conservation, and beautiful native plant groupings =amazing design. Also appreciated the tip of using road base under pea gravel so you don’t sink. Thanks for this great video!
