This area has been an eye sore ever since I completed the walkway. I decided to do a little makeover and make this area a nice flower bed. I started off by removing all the old dirt and weeds. I did this by taking a flat shovel and just skimming the area to the depth that I wanted. Then I spaced out the shrubs by eyeballing and then started to get them planted. Once I got all 5 boxwood gems planted I then installed the landscape fabric. I usually do this part before I plant but decided to do it the other way this time. I didn’t have any landscape pins at my house so I just used the mulch to keep it down. I’m not a big fan of landscape fabric anyway but I some in the shop so decided to use it.

  1. The flower bed was looking good but you cheap out on putting the nails on the sheet

  2. No pins because I didn't have any and didn't want to go back to the store. This small of a bed it's just not necessary as the mulch will hold it down. 🤷‍♂️👊

  3. Waste of money on fabric. That mulch will decompose and just form another layer of dirt for weeds to grow on top of the fabric. I tell all my clients it's easier to maintain a fabric-less mulched bed long term. Was taught 20 years ago, no rock, no fabric.

  4. I can see why people get frustrated putting there work on youtube. A bunch of people without the courage to do so themselves feel the need to critique and judge what they are watching.
    Thanks for content Brian!

  5. Put the weed prove down first then do a X cut fold the fabric dig the hole plant ur shrub and fold back out the fabric you can cut a color to go around the shrub for extra weed protection

  6. Looks like you could use a tiller in that bed. Rock solid, but such a difference. Curb appeal is everything.

  7. The shrubs look really nice in this front garden and the mulch sets it off even more. Great job! God bless❤️

  8. What about the cuts to get around the plants to the wall? What's the best way to prevent weeds sneaking through those cuts??? It might seem insignificant but it happened in my wife's garden and it's become an ever loving pain in my @*#^#%^#&#&#!! Lol!!
    But really should a person cut a 6" strip and place it over each cut to prevent weeds forever?
    Thank you my friend. Great video!!

  9. I bet you back was killing after this bc it killing mine watching you do this and Dreading have to do my lawn

  10. i loved this .can you show how they have become a year after .I was wondering if they might grow out of proportion(i m a beginner sorry!)

  11. This is the video that I've been looking for to redo my flower bed, I plan to replace my shrubs for better quality ones. Great job.

  12. Weed barrier fabric becomes a nightmare after a while. Weed seeds land on top and weeds grow anyways, and since their roots grow down into the fabric they become harder to remove
