Great content. Good luck with your channel.
Pretty informative, I'm looking forward to your other videos.
My fiance sent me this video and said this will change your life. Backstory: we have been trying to strategically plan our Outdoor area for well over a year. We have been smart, but slow. We want to do it right and have been scanning youtube for a video just like this.
Long story short, she was right. This is a gamechanger and we have spent the day today on our needs analysis. I very much appreciate you! Keep them coming!
Thank's so much! Very interesting, I would love to know more!
If you’re worried about return on investment, you probably shouldn’t own a home. The purpose of a home is to live your life, raise your family, and have a place that is yours until they haul your corpse to the graveyard. That being said, make your yard your own.
You're very creative but also methodical in your teaching. Thank you for this video
Your timing is great with this video! A friend asked me to help with planning her landscape. I've been gardening for many years, but never really had a formal plan developed for my own yard. This will help tremendously!!
Where are you located? I need you here…
Wow. A lot of good info! Thanks. Looking forward to more of your videos.
He said Native plants!!!! Hell yeah!
Thank you for sharing this knowledge. I wish my permaculture instructors had taught basic landscape design. Left me with no clue as to what to draw on the base map.
Great video, very informative. Looking forward to more….so I subscribed. 😊
Thank you so much! I’ve consulted but never have been properly instructed.

Thank you so much for this video! Last year my husband and I downsized to a small 1886 Victorian cottage in PA. We love the location and parts of the yard are pretty but the previous owner had a very chaotic gardening style — almost EVERYTHING is mis-matched but not in a fun cottage garden way. It's just messy and crowded with broken statues and random pieces of fencing he found during garbage day. It's been a huge job to edit down the pieces and get it to enough of a blank slate to even start to see clearly. When you mentioned the "flow" of the garden and how we will be walking thru/using the garden space something really clicked for me. I have some thinking to do but this bit of info helped a LOT!! 🙂
Great info, but I guess I’m just too dense to comprehend all the paperwork, planning and diagram descriptions.
Great video, I'm about done with what I've done but you've confirmed most of what I've done. I did not know about the ability to measure on Apple maps – thanks!
The algorithm served me up this video. Glad it did. Went back and watched your other landscape design video too and subscribed. You do a very good job explaining things at a level those of us who are design inept can understand. I'm a halfway decent gardener but somewhat paralyzed by design. This was very helpful. More please.
I think you should teach how to use the program you mention on google earth in another video
Also show how to use lightbox related to this topic
The google map measurement trick is a game changer thanks!
Thank you very much for this video!! I don't have a lightbox, so I used the sliding glass door to let the light through so. I could see better to trace ( im older & my eyes aren't so good). Best to all!!
Interesting! 💡
Can’t you just use your survey
I’m into zero scaping and ornamental grasses. 😂
Great video and very helpful! Thank you!
Thank you! Very helpful for our new home project. And…the cameo of Louise Bourgeois – spider sculpture!
