- so some of you may have seen my back yard video, and now it was time for my front yard. This video was 4 months in the making. With many hours of hard work!!!!
Please enjoy and leave some feedback
A huge thanks goes out to:
Jamie from aspire paving ACT
Alex from kookaburra homes
and KB excavation - Jak na to + styl
Amazing job!
Hard work and dedication great job.
Funny I was just out working on my yard for a few hours the last song I listened to in my headphones was this same Black Mills song. That's some awesome work, having a team helps.
Well laid out, great job.
I hope you will be happy with the use of the weed barrier membrane. I was too until the leaves of trees etc created enough material for weed seeds to germinate. It ended up being a greater headache than if I had laid cardboard down to block anything from growing.
Awesome project, i can only imagine all the work with filming it, doing the landscaping. Awesome
What a massive improvement. It looks great, thanks for sharing.
Not my cup of tea, but exactly compliments the mid century modern architecture.
I bet it looks way better now, a few years after all the plants in the front street-side bed have grown in; that was certainly true with the backyard makeover.
Great video!!! I can only imagine how tired your muscles are after doing all of this. Thanks for videoing it, a neat glimpse into how MUCH WORK goes into what others may consider a "simple change"... LOVE IT!
Thanks for the comment!! They both have there advantages really. Underground drip lines have the benefit of nobody knowing your watering and eliminates theft. it also prevents water wastage as water is getting straight into the soil!!!. The main downside is when it comes to renovation time. You can not core etc. But as this area is not a high use area. A dethatch once a year and a good fertilise in spring will most certainly keep it looking great!!!. Good choice on the mp rotors.Great sprinkler!
i wish i had the time, money and energy to do that, i must have Britain's worst garden at the minute, but youve motivating me to do something about it, i bought the house because it has plenty of land not thinking id have to maintain it. im buying astro turf
Thank you for the comments chris. Been a qualified landscaper and greens keeper i can assure you the drip line is fine underneath!!! This area is a low impact area thus not needing aerating!!. The drip line is fair enough under so dethatching can be performed to remove the thatch layer if needed!!!
Im sorry you felt it looked better before hand... You are the first!!
Nice job, until now I thought I am the only one in this world struggling with gardens so much :)
Awesome job guys currently in the process of a backyard makeover after completing the front yard last year. I wanted to do the drip lines like you guys showed under the lawn but was worried about even water distribution. Chose to go with hunter mp rotators instead. But I must say I still live the idea of cleaner lines with no visible sprinkler heads
Before: looks like a typical Mid-Century modern normal home!
I have to say thank you for making this video. I want to do something to my front and side yard (corner house), but have no idea what to do. Videos like this are definitely helping me come up with some ideas.
Looked beter before. My opinion
kickass job brother! looks outstanding.
Nice! Hard work pays off!
Nice design. Sad to see there are no pedestrian exclusive paths this side of the street.
Beautiful work. Namaste.
Beautiful~!!!!
bravo and well done!!!
Great video production.
Amazing makeover..you guys are serious hard workers! Seems like most people nowadays are just not “motivated” for outdoor improvement.
nice work indeed!
Nice video. Well done. I haven't seen anyone lay sod over the dripline. I wonder how long it will take to clog up with dirt. Hopefully a long time.
Awesome. The effort on recording each processes for us to watch. What a beautiful make over to, but it will be more cooler ang nature like if you plant more leafy plants in the front. But still Amazing. Thank You for this Video.
Hi Tom - Its Rebecca from Aspire - we just stumbled across these videos they are amazing, thank you so much for your acknowledgment and opportunity to work on both of your beautiful jobs.
Some really nice video work involved with this; great job and nice results on the front yard.

I agree is the best
Lot of hardwork!
Thanks for the comment. Yes its amazing how much work is involved. part of the reason i made the video was to show other people whats involved if they decide to take the job on themselves!!!
So cool
Thanks guys!!!
I did attempt to email you guys with the links to the videos... but you must have not gotten them!!! Jamie has a star roll in the videos. So thank you. You should see both the front and back now. They look sensational.
thanks for the comments!!!
I purchased the rail road sleepers from a wholesale place that sells them after they have been used, not cheap may i add (40 australian dollars each!!!)
yes i used drip irrigation in the whole yard!!!
Really nice job!! I got tired just at seeing you!
Where did you get the railroad styles? Great to have access to those...
I am assuming drip irrigation, due to the closeness of the tubes...
I am wondering if that tree survived all of that construction ? It looks very nice though.
Looks great. I’m also gonna start my landscaping next week. Quick question. I’m also doing the sub surface for my lawn. I see you just laid the lines and put sod on top. Is that your recommendation? I’ve talked to a few others that like doing that as well, as opposed to burying the lines!

big project.........................
Nice job. Interesting house. When was it built?
Job well done! How much roughly this kind of project cost?
4 months???
like music, cute but need more flowers
beautiful result...can i ask, why so much sprinkler tubing under the sod? bearing in mind i'm a total noob at this...
I believe they aren't sprinklers they are drip lines
why is the grass cover being reduced so much....water scarcity or maintenance and mowing issues???
I reckon he wanted less to mow but also he didn't have use for such a big lawn that he wouldn't make use of? I may be wrong. It can't be water scarcity since he is essentially placing down water piping for his whole lawn and backyard. So I think it is more design and maintenance in mind. But then again, keeping track of the flowers etcetra is more hard work than keeping a lawn in check.
too much shade
Just hope you never have your lawn aerated. :)
looked better before
what are those pipes you put under the sod?
+Mow America They are sub surface drip line with holes in them...idea is to water the roots and not the blades...saves water
looked better before. you can never aerate your lawn with drip line under it.
Very nice looking design. Fits with the house architecture. That's alot of irrigation line
though. I wonder if there is some way to reduce the use of water resources. Hopefully the plantings also support some type of natural ecology, pollinators and the like.
How much did this cost?
+KnicksNYanks84 I agree Knicks. It's beautiful but I know as a 60 yr old single elder on a fixed income it's nothing I could afford nor do alone. But the video is well done, the design is great for those its targeted for.
A for Effort
not done over grow close to the house
I would appreciate it if you could give me the song title and artist of the track that begins @ 3:00. Thanks so much :{D
