Building New Flower Beds and getting the PERFECT EDGE!

  • When we built our barn we didn't do much in the way of landscaping around the barn. We just planted grass right up to the side of the building. Since this is one of the first things you see when you pull in the driveway we decided to dress it up with a new flower bed. This seems like a big job and it is, but we were able to do a few things to speed the process up as well as get the perfect transition between the lawn and beds WITHOUT using any type of edging!

    Great video. I watched a few and this is one of the better ones I’ve come across. Thank you

    Damn... You made this look so much easier than I was expecting. I thought I had to dig up all the dirt along the side of my house. I didn't realize I could just put landscape fabric down and build on top of that. Wicked!

    You should always cut the grass and weed wack next to the bed before mulching, because the grass clipping get into the newly fresh mulch bed

    Snapshot is a awesome weed and grass control thats safe for shrubs and trees..just a different alternative to using the weed mat.

    You could of save the sod to patch that rough area next to your bed. 😁

    Only change I would make is planting the flowers first then putting the sheet in last. Cut a cross over the flowers and pull she down staple them around the roots.

    Try to cut grass and mow before the mulch . It will give a better look and cleaner mulch . If your landscaping , customers like the cleaner look when your finishing , guaranteed!

    I like to run a second edger line on the inside of the bed before using the spade edger at an angle

    Weed barrier is for rocks, no need for that with mulch if you mulch right.

    Is there something you would recommend to put up against the vinyl wall of the house for a raised retaining wall type flower bed since it will be about 15 inches in dirt and will get water?

    Should have loosened up the root balls on those plants before planting them ..the roots won't spread properly and will grow in a circle pattern in the hole and will eventually choke the plants.

  • @LetTruthWin
    @LetTruthWin Před 3 měsíci

    Mulch near your foundation is not actually a good thing. It eventually attract termites. Best this is to leave At least 6 inch space and fill it with stone or some other barrier

    Could have tried using cardboard rather than plastic to control weeds.

  • @laurenb6451
    @laurenb6451 Před rokem +3

    I would never use weed mat. Then the soil can never be amended. I turn the sod upside down and put a thick layer of wood chips from the town(free) on top and reapply annually.

  • @Nurse_Lucy
    @Nurse_Lucy Před 3 lety +19

    Ugh. I hate gardening with weed fabric. I'd rather mulch deeply and pull as they come up than get frustrated later trying to add more or different plants

    • @nicoleotte2433
      @nicoleotte2433 Před 3 lety +3

      Same. Weed fabric is my absolute nemesis. I’m ripping all of ours out right now, and it’s a gigantic pain.

    • @rogueengineer
      @rogueengineer  Před 3 lety +5

      I agree with you but it was worth it in this case instead of trying to remove all the sod.

      @lyndaross4617 Před rokem

      You keep new plant level with the soil, add soil conditioner first and bit of space around plant, give plant a good soak in water before planting, tease roots out slightly to get them started.

    I must have had someone do this in my yard because about 8-10" underneath the weeds and clover there's disgusting old plastic everywhere. Anyone who does this belongs in jail, it looks terrible, terrible for the environment. Bad, masculine design
