I feel your pain! The prior homeowners of our house decided to use rubber mulch, lava rocks, mulch, and multiple layers of landscape fabric on top of our clay soil. It’s like a lasagna every time I dig. Slowly, but surely over the last 5 years I’ve pulled most of it out. Your progress is amazing! So excited for you!
It's already looking fantastic - even with nothing planted yet... this is going to be so fun...
You have gotten a lot done in a short time. Your drawing is fabulous on how the front will look. It’s going to be fun to watch it take shape
Wow! You have accomplished a lot! I hope you get rain soon, and everything goes according to plan. It will be beautiful!
It looks better already. That wide swoop at the entrance will be stunning. I look forward to watching it all come together.
Good morning Matthew! It's going to be beautiful! Can't wait to see it done 😊! Have a blessed week 🤗💡
WOW!! Looks great!! Can't wait to see how it all comes together. You are so sunburned!! Two things. A HAT and SUNSCREEN!! Take care
I love watching the progress of your new space. Your plan will be beautiful!
Your plans are coming together nicely. Lots of hard work ahead, but you will reap the rewards.
A tricolour beech or weeping purple birch or beech would be beautiful in front of the house between the windows. Progress looks great!! 🎉
It we be beautiful when all is said and done. Love watching your videos.
The plan for this garden is gorgeous. Watching you make it come alive will be so much fun. I will say that the sunburn on your face is a little worrisome. Be careful that the sun doesn’t fry you to a crisp!
Thank you for the good sound. I don't have to turn it up all the way. It will be fun to see the changes to the property.
Gorgeous bed design. You are so lucky on the trees from auction. They will really make a statement and show off the house.
I would love to see the trees planted! It is all part of the process
Omg! You’ve been BUSY! It’s going to be so beautiful!! Pleas take care🥹 Your cheeks are red❤️🙏🏽❤️
That plan is gorgeous!!! Excited to see it materialized! I love starting gardens , all the possibilities!! You have awesome vision!!
It is!! I got excited just seeing that.
Wow! You really got a lot done. I think that new flower bed is going to be gorgeous! Some many colors and textures .
I lived in northwest Ohio for 17 years. I was always amazed that the heavy clay soil would actually grow plants! When dry, that soil was like concrete. There are a fair number of potteries in Ohio. Great soil for that! Good luck!
if you have a three point hitch on your tractor get a post hole digger for it weuse ours to dig holes for plants and trees. If you have a big root ball you might have to dig three holes together and then use a shovel to clean out holes.
Oh the rubber mulch. I feel the pain of all gardeners who have this problem. At my home I found a thick layer of it it buried under a layer of grass and soil. They didn’t put any kind of protective material underneath it. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever get enough of it out of the ground. I’m amazed by the plants that are able to live through what is in some areas a rubber loam. I will keep digging it up.
Thank you Mathew. Your plans looks GREAT! Hope you get some rain. 🌺💚🙃
Matthew, love the kousa dogwoods, especially the white flowering one.
They look like a waterfall of flowers, quite spectacular....so a prominent place like the corner of your front garden bed will be perfect.
One thing you could be doing to help soften your hard clay soil, is add Gypsum powder and compost.....water with a sprinkler and let the water slowly infiltrate the soil.
I've found this easier for larger trees, after a few months of rain and making holes with a pitchfork to get the Gypsum right into the holes.
I was able to plant my massive fish tail fern and it's just loving life.😊
I love your design....noticed you have a trellis in your design which is a nice feature.
Also some upward lighting to see your trees at night, would be an added bonus.
I can see everything coming to fruition over time.
Gardening is a slow but rewarding process.
You've done so well in such a short time...well done you!
From Jo in New Zealand 😊
This is so exciting, Matthew!!
Love! the design so much! It's going to be beautiful. What a lovely journey to create a beautiful space.
Exciting to see it come to life!
Wow! What a nice big garden bed. That will be so fun to plant and watch grow. You are so lucky to have so much land to do what you like with 😊.
Love using cardboard in the garden. Worms are drawn to it, it lasts about a year or more, and all weeds are DOA. I save all my Amazon boxes this way.
Looks wonderful. I use all my Chewy, Amazon and Sams boxes in my yard to make beds. It is the best way to go. You have such a wonderful eye for garden design
You’ve a wonderful eye! Can’t wait to see how your beautiful gardens progress and flourish!
The plans are great..let's get started..exciting 🎉
Oh my gosh, huge progress!!!
I would love to be able to have a plan drawn up then maybe I can get it the way I want it. It’s going to be beautiful
Great progress! Yes, we need some rain.
I love your property! I can’t wait to see it transform.
Wow! You got some serious elbow room at this house!
Wow this will be so beautiful!!!
Thanks for this inspiring video! Can’t wait to see the one where you introduce the trees and shrubs you got at the auction!
You have been so productive. It amazes me how much you get done when you go for it. I like Hayneedle and a rusticgarden (local family in Il) for good quality trellises and arches. Excellent value. Hayneedle always has deals. Rubber mulch is for playgrounds!
Go weeping Noway spruce there in front! That will be stunning!
You sure work fast! Looking so much prettier already and can’t wait to see more. The sneak peek is awesome!
Looking great, Matthew!!
It’s going to be beautiful, Matthew! Good luck digging… I live in KY and have about the same “dirt” as you. I planted a small shrub past week and it was ROUGH😅. Had to water the ground heavily to be able to dig deep enough and, well, you know what that means. Muddy clay🙄
We just moved and I dug up a whole for a tree……… landscaping rocks, then surprise, fake turf…. then a second layer of fake turf 😂 I almost died. The stuff of nightmares, I’ll tell ya. Then to add insult to injury, there was a pipe 🤣🥹 Gardening can be full of surprises! 😅
So many beautiful specimens! Just so beautiful!
Great plan love the tree choices.
It is great progress, Matthew! Way to go! So excited for you!
I have a crimson maple, it is a slow grower but can handle the dry weather we have had.
Great vision for future planting beds! I can't wait to see how it evolves over time. 🌸🌼
It will be beautiful and nice Mathew 🥰 you have gorgeous plants & trees everything I absolutely love 🥰
You're doing a GREAT JOB! ❤
It has been hot! Hopefully we will get rain soon! *I'm in Winston-Salem.
A first year garden overwhelms in its neediness. You might consider a pickaxe for the hard ground as I was advised. Baked clay is brick if you add straw. The changes look wonderful and you are wise to plant them this fall, both evergreen and deciduous. You have a large canvas. Enjoy!
That weeping spruce would look gorgeous there just saying 🙂
Right?!
Love your design for the front and you selection of plants, it’s going to be fabulous 💚🌿🌿
I’m soooo excited for you
Looks awesome! Your vision is beautiful and love the plant selections! Can’t wait to see how it comes together!
Beautiful vision, thanks you for sharing your expertise. Inspiring!!!
I live by Siebenthaller's & got my ruby falls red bud from them a month ago! Very helpful experts there.
Thanks for the up date!
I adore Kousa dogwoods.
Matthew, if anyone can change that property into a showpiece, it's you. Love those trees you bought and won, especially the Crimson Maple, that will be gorgeous!
I love the way you can show what it will look like when done. Have you thought about if they spray the fields by the house with anything that might damage your plants?
Wow! You’ve been busy and it looks great! Brown’s auction always has all things to plant! Being north of town, we like Meadowview Growers too. We put a geothermal system in 30 years ago when we built on our 5 acres. Only other choices then were fuel oil(yuck) and propane. We have a closed loop system - no need for a well. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
We’re also doing a closed loop system, but they’re doing vertical wells to house them.
My favorite Yew for shade garden is spreading plum Yew -- evergreen. I also planted a golden Ginko tree this year. I bought a rare dwarf Dogwood tree online at Nature Hills in NE this year. And it came sick with brown spots on every leaf, brown edges on every leaf and the limbs were really chopped. I sent pics twice and they (Coli Hunter in sales) are still refusing a refund. So beware on online plant-buying.
I've gotten houseplants like that as well. I recommend to either travel somewhere or get them locally in town.
Does the cardboard kill big dandelions over Winter? I don't see any weeds in your grass, what a blessing! I've had back issues and the weeds in one larger bed are taking over, mulch does nothing to help.
Please just set up a camera and let us watch the big tree planting. That would be fun to watch, even for you in a few years, to see how your sweat equity grow beautiful trees!
So fun watching the new changes!
Hi Matthew! You've really gotten a lot done since you moved in, and it's looking really good! I love the design plans you have for the front garden. It will be beautiful! Are you able to rent, or buy, a large auger that you can use for digging the holes for the larger trees? Maybe something you could use with the tractor. It would be so helpful, even for the smaller trees. Or, is there a nursery close by that could "dig" the holes for you? I now you'll find a solution. ;-) I'm looking forward to seeing the progress, and the new trees you won at auction. Thank you so much for sharing!
What a great place. Are you going to leave an opening in the new front flower bed, for a walkway out to the yard so that you don't have to walk through the bed? Also I think a sitting area would be great to have in the front also to enjoy all of that land and view.
Hi, Matthew. I'm just re-discovering your channel. It's nice to pick back up with you just as you're starting with a new property. I heard you mention in this video what you want the look and feel of your big, curving entry bed to be like as you approach the front door, but I didn't hear you say anything about what the views from your front windows will be like with what you're planning. When re-landscaping my property, I discovered I hadn't paid quite enough attention to the views from my windows and, as a result, ended up having to re-do some things years later. Just wanted you to benefit from my mistake.
Omg!!! I'm looking at the video saying this doesn't look like your house and I heard you said I moved. I'm like oh no!!! I love you other house. I love the side of the house with all the hydrangeas. In fact I copied you. I brought a lot of hydrangeas from Proven Winners and I am almost done. Congratulations with your new house. I look forward to see how beautiful you will make your yard. Happy Garden.
Just be careful and don't get hurt!
Oh my goodness. It will be a beautiful garden. You have wonderful vision, Matthew! I love it🌸
I love watching your progress of the garden Mathew ,it’s going to look wonderful 😊❤️
Wow! Beautiful plan! Make sure you pace yourself..you’re getting very tanned/red…
Garden Answer and your channel are my go 2's for landscaping. Love your videos, I am so looking forward to follow along on your new landscape journey.
We chose a dwarf purple beech - Frisio aka Frisco - which is supposed to hold its purple color better in summer - will let you know how it goes…. There are others but like this one, from Europe, not widely available in the US unfortunately
Oh my goodness, I love your vision for that space!! And the putting the water line along the edge of the sidewalk and extending the lines out from it will be so efficient!! Looking forward to your video on the larger trees!!
I'm enjoy watching your progress so much!! We are getting ready to move and my new yard is a blank slate. Thanks for sharing all of your plans and plants information with us!
What a beautiful design you have created.....can't wait to see it come to fruition!!!
If you paid you didn't win... you purchased. None-the-less, congrats on the plant haul. Nurseries here don't have end-of-season sales or auctions. They usually stuff their leftover plants in one of their commercial jobs.
Looks like you know what you're doing around a landscape design. Any formal training, or just passion and observation.
I suppose cardboard may break down faster in acid soils. I tried it back in the mid-80s. It became slightly brittle, but never fell apart. I eventually hauled it to the burn pile.
You really should video planting the big trees. People can learn from more adventurous amateur landscapers. I found I could plant some pretty big rootballs alone with a little imaginative McGuyvering, even before I had a tractor and front loader.
I admire anyone with the confidence to take on a big planting job like you are. May you be blessed with fair weather until Thanksgiving.
You have such a lovely property Matthew and I am so excited to follow along on your new garden journey. You are so organized.
Your new property will be beautiful. I just hope you take your time, in case you change your mind. ❤😂❤
Outstanding decision on using geothermal. Always a challenge doing a retro fit for an existing house but it’s so efficient it’s worth it.
It’s fun to hear and see what you purchased. I appreciate your explaining the process. It helps me look at my own beds to revamp some, more to my ever growing interest in garden design.
Fabulous watching all your progress, can’t wait to see the next video 💚💚👨🌾💚💚
I'm so excited to see all your big trees and shrubs from the auction!
Great progress! And I love the rendition.
Huge progress!! Already looks better with that nice black mulch and large flowerbed.
It will be beautiful when you get started!
There is never enough cardboard, lol! When it comes to newly created, sheet mulched beds, the hardest part is definitely the waiting. I planted the trees and shrubs in one bed that I sheet mulched last fall but am holding off until next year to add the perennials. It's tough, though - I had to talk myself out of adding 'just a few' this year as I knew that I would likely end up regretting it.
Your garden will be beautiful!!! I can not imagine rubber mulch!
The house I bought also had landscape fabric in the beds and I want to get rid of it but pulling it up is daunting to think of
Tree excitement!! 😃
Absolutely amazing progress! Truly inspiring for anyone who has fallen in love with gardening. I hope in the video with all the trees you got a Southern Magnolia. The one at your last garden was gorgeous. I actually live in Southwest Ohio myself. The only section that is a zone 5b. 🙄😂 I just recently planted a magnolia last fall. The variety I got stays a little smaller. It’s an Alta magnolia. Still is 20 ft tall, but only 9ft wide. I have it on the side of the house. I didn’t do anything to it this past winter. It came through the attic blast with no problem. We even got to -38 here. I hope you get another one for your garden. They truly are beautiful plants. 😊
I've been following since Roots & Refuge posted about your guys' trip to C-bus. We shop at Siebenthaler's, and I've been going to Stocklager's since I was a child. Welcome to the neighborhood ♡
That's going to be stunning! ❤
You are working so hard, it will pay off. So sorry about all the fake mulching that was used, so difficult to remove.
The design is stunning
Andrew, I love your design for the new bed.
Wow you are making so much progress already! Love the plan and can’t wait to see it all come together.
I am so impressed, you are really making headway !!!!! Your garden will be gorgeous, and it is fun to see the process. "Be a like" ....you absolutely are, I enjoy your videos !
It's "be a light", but thank you! :)
@@TheSouthernersNorthernGarden....well....a light and like !
Mathew it is going to be stunning. Love your design ideas. I have 2 Dogwood tree both light pink flowers. They are so beautiful. I did not know they have other colours so now I will look out for them. Looking forward to see your progress. 🎉🎉
