- In this video, we team up with Kevin Pearsall from KP Landscaping to do an overhaul on a cottage in Charlevoix, Michigan. I had one day to lay the plants out for Kevin and his team, and mother nature decided to downpour on us for almost the entire day. When life gives you lemons......well, you know what they say....Chug the lemonade 🤣🤣🤣!!

Hi jack, few weeks ago you posted video of your grandmother’s garden, knowing that we are visiting the island near future I was paying extra attention. About week ago we were walking around the island and upon your grandmother’s house, I was telling my husband what I saw on the video at that moment little lady with walker approached and I ask her this is her house, she say yes, what a wonderful moment to meeting her, we had small talk and we say goodbyes. I must say you live in most beautiful place an earth.
I was on Mackinaw Island last week. I pointed out the same house to my daughter.
Jack, you are bad to the bone! Knocking it out of the park! You go……………love what you do!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️👍
I got cold just watching you guys!!! 😊💖
Oh dear you guys are awesome working in that rain its no fun but the plants will look awesome as with the maple tree. Safe trip to Florida see you when you get back to Michigan to finish this project. 👍👏❤️
Speaking of attitude, as you did - you have the best, most positive and upbeat attitude - through rain or sun - always a ray of sunshine! Love your landscaping style and how you teach us along the way. Thank you!
Really lovely design and as usual, Jack and his soil knife antics make me laugh and flinch at the same time. He is fearless with that thing. Thank you to the intrepid videographer too. That cannot be easy, running after Jack and all his manic energy in the middle of a rainstorm.
YEAH!!!! Praise The LORD ~ Jack Barnwell is BACK!!!! (Send Laura some of that rain, please) You are so wonderful and dedicated to work in the rain - which is a trait that we North Carolina people do - to get the task done. Appreciate ya! Have much fun in FL!
Jack-you are right-attitude makes all the difference. Attitude is how our country, working with out international partners, were able to reach the end of WWII. Attitude is the basis of any success! I DID hear you sniffling, I know what the FL climate is like and it sometimes isn’t conducive to healing a cold-BUT, sometimes it IS 😀! I hope when you reached Fl you had a bit of time to recover. By the way, due to you I have been looking into ground covers. I’ve decided to plant myrtle under my birch tree either this fall or in the spring. I’ve always mulched around it but the mulch ring has continued to widen over the 25 plus years and the animals just keep digging it up. I will be SO happy to see the blue spring blossoms and NEVER Be bothered by the little varmints again-THANK YOU!!! 😊
Landscapers are tough cookies! I felt for you guys in that rain. Show us the property in a month or in the Spring?
Will do!
Wow! Love your super positive attitude. You and your team always do an amazing job, even now in this crazy weather. Enjoy your time in Florida with family. Writing from NYC area with mild Autumnal weather happening. All the Best to you, Jack!
You men must be some of the healthiest people on the planet. God bless.
You’re such a hard worker. Love your energy and persistence. Looks beautiful 👏
Love your enthusiasm, rain or shine! Enjoy your family time in Florida!
Jack! Making the MAGIC happen. You are awesome dude..... It's all about the attitude.
Love woodland gardens. Beautiful piece of property. You guys knocked it out of the park!
I love you positive attitude when its raining like cats and dogs. But rain or shine the job has to be done 😆. Your just awesome. Keep yo with the great work. Love watching your videos.
What a gorgeous place! I love your enthusiasm and I can't wait to see more. Beautiful job!
Beautiful project!!!
Such charming pieces of land to be living on, sea on one side, woodland on the other. Can only imagine the fruits of your labour being enjoyed for different seasons. How lovely when everything settles in…. morning dew with blooms in the spring, greens during the golden hours of the day in the summer and all shades of autumn, even the cosy ambiance of winter. Hope you will revisit each season at its peak for your future videos, would love to see it.
So excited to see you work your magic!
You're right Jack. It is all about attitude. And your positive
can-and-will-do
one is contagious.
I live in WA on 20 acres of forested property. I love aesthetic forests like in this video!!!
Last year we attended a forestry class and all the speakers were supporting an idea leaving the forest debris as is - keeps soil cool and prevents moisture escape.
Always a fun video
Wow a great site with a cool lay out. Excellent choice of plants. Wish I could hire you! Hope you didn’t get pneumonia!
You put so much fun into gardening! Thank you
What a beautiful place even in the rain!
Wish I could live in this beautiful place !
Loved the music 👍
Missed you! Love your videos so much!!
Magical!
Guy from Florida wearing long pants and jacket: "blustery day". Michigander, wearing shorts and shirt sleeve shirt, "ha ha".
He is way more macho than I am!!
I'm curious, will the ferns survive the Michigan winter? Loved watching you plant in the rain. You are right, it's all about the attitude. You are so positive and determined.
For sure- they are tough as heck- down to zone 3
Love your work,my dream is to have a vacation to mackinac island to see more of your work,more power jack😀😃😄
Great lakes for sure it does feel good
Jack, every time you click I click! It drives me crazy!
💙💚💙
work ethic!
As always it’s going to be an amazing landscape. I always appreciate your energy and your inspiration. Thank you for sharing with us. Kathy
Beautiful job as usual Jack and team. Those owners of the house are so lucky to have you plan their landscape. Seeing how fast you decide what goes where makes me a turtle in comparison. I wish I had that kind of insight or artiness, lol. God bless you and your teams in all your jobs.
It looks beautiful already. Couldn’t wait for the follow up videos. I know it will look stunning. Lovely place. Thanks for ur video.
Not rain... Liquid Sunshine ;-)
Love watching Jack's projects, about the crocus - how do you stop the pesky squirrels from eating the bulbs???
Let it rain ......let's go dance in it with the children
Nice job Jack only most of us cannot afford this how about a makeover contest
Gorgeous job. Congrats to the entire team. Interesting about the excessive mulch. Why not just till it under with added compost and additional nutrients?
The mulch used by another maintenance implant was dyed product, that does not break down very well- and lots of it… Kevin was called to come back in and make it right…
Make sure you do a summer 2022, so we can see the results 😉
Just beautiful! I also live in Michigan and own a home that the yard is full of trees. I have been watching all of your videos since we are in the middle of a landscaping project. I am struggling with which material to use around our flagstone patio which will soon have 3 feet of leaves falling onto it! Love the look of all of the mulch you use, but am worried it won't withstand our powerful blower. Is their a rock that would not only fit in with our woodland landscape, but also look good with Pennsylvania flagstone? Thank you, and I look forward to your next video!!
@Jack the tool you used to tilt the mulch can you please link it? Thank you!
Would love to see this in the Spring when all those bulbs are in bloom. It's going to look amazing, of course. So when you got through with all of this did you have to ride your bicycle back to your house ? In the cold rain ?
What kind of tiller was that?? Will it work in sandy soil?
It’s a stihl kombi tiller head on a stihl combination tool.
@@JackBarnwellDesign thank you very much for replying so quickly! I love your videos! ❤️
Always love your landscape designs. Why do you plant ground covers in the mulch? Just curious. :)
In a good shredded blend of mulch/compost, we can get Groundcovers to take hold and “become” the mulch- thereby eliminating the need for annual mulching of many of our beds and making a green living mulch that is much better for the soil, plants, and environment in general~
@@JackBarnwellDesign I’m going to try that in some of the areas in my bed. Thanks for the reply. 😁
looking forward to seeing the finished property, but can't help but wonder, if he's been caring for the property for 15 years how he allowed the mulch helmet to even begin, much less remove 40 yards.. if expecting to remove 8, that's 5 times or at least 5 seasons. i'm slightly confused, hoping he and his team didn't create that 40 yard mess. oh well, bring on the plants, and muckers!
I should have been more
Clear~! He has been doing more of the landscape building and projects side of things there for 15 years, but the mulching, spring and fall clean ups were done by another maintenance company. The past few years they really put the mulch on thick and it basically made a mulch desert~
@@JackBarnwellDesign that makes sense. it looks amazing! and love all the stonework! as a quasi landscaper (i restore or reset properties that are going on the market) I am particular about mulch - either a dark fine grind which can mix into the soil the following year, or a planting compost, for the same reason. never shredded, nor bark, chips or anything artificially colored. only exception is shredded cedar and for a large expanse away from the home, closer to a woodland space.
Also a 4B gardener, what variety is the Japanese Maple?
Bloodgood- they are pretty tough
Thank you!
I thought mulch was supposed to break down? I don't understand why it didn't, and needed to be dug up.
The right mulch will break down~~ another company had the maintenance and mulching contract and they used inexpensive dyed mulch that is essentially shredded pallets and scrap lumber and is treated to last longer- when it gets too thick, there isn’t any soil contact and immersion of microbial activity and so it can’t break down- too much carbon… so- many inches had to go, to get a better base going again for this style of planting… also- with the heavy groundcover approach- they won’t need to mulch these beds anymore at all~
@@JackBarnwellDesign Great info, Jack, thank you. Last year I started using pine needles sourced for free from neighbors for mulch. The plants have been looking good and I’ve noticed fewer weeds than I had with wood chip mulch. This summer, I have been following your lead by adding ground covers to my flower beds here in central Wis. I look forward to less weeding next year.
i am not getting notifications
Love the information and designs but the intro music was awful… sorry Jack 🤦🏼♀️ otherwise I enjoy your videos 💚
