I can’t believe how rude and funky some of these comments are! People love going out of their way to shyt on someone else’s vision! I loved the video and enjoyed watching your process unfold! New subscriber here!
Thank you for loving it and subscribe it! ☺️
Wonderful..the solar lights sealed the deal. To be enjoyed 24/7.❤❤❤
Thank you!!! 😊
Very elegant！Modern like. I like the design very much. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
Clicked on the video because of the muscles, but stayed for a very well done landscaping redo. Nice job! Gave me some ideas for our property even though we live in zone 10a.
oh!! well thank you! =D glad to know I help with ideas! =)
I love it! Nice, clean and modern. Great job! 👌🏻 I’d love to know more about the plants you used (ex: names, growing zones, flowering or not, evergreen or not, deciduous or not…) Would also love an update on your thoughts around the solar lighting, as they can be tricky sometimes. They tend to be dull. Again, great job!
So fine. 2:36
And so is the makeover. 😂 Well done!
Thank you!!
Great job! You gave me ideas that I can use in the future like the lighting and border you created. I too like the minimalist, clean modern look. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing that this gives you ideas, love to hear that!
I love using outdoor potted plants too. Here's a tip I've learned: Big pots get extremely heavy when filled with soil and become hard to move around, so I have a collection of black landscape containers from 3 gallon all the way up to 25 gallon that I use to hold the plant inside the ceramic pot. I use cutup scrap PT 2x6 or 2x10 lumber pieces to adjust the height under the plastic liner pot. Where I live in Oregon, this keeps ceramic pots from cracking when they freeze in winter. It also allows me to have a collection of winter evergreen plants and summer plants that I can rotate depending on the season. You are pretty adorable btw :)
👏👏👏 this is an awesome tip! I like it thank you! 🤩
Loved your video. You are funny, too…”I’m wondering that, too,” when you talked about the soil. I enjoyed how you shared the costs and planning. Nicely done.
Thank so much , glad you enjoy it 😊
Set up some drip line irrigation with a timer to all your pots to save worrying about when to water ( and if you forget...👌👌) Lovely job
Thanks!! that's a very good idea, I actually didn't think about it before =O
You did a great job!! Looks beautiful, simple yet clean and managable.
Thank you 😀!!
Don’t be discouraged because this entire effort is a learning process. The landscaper gave you excellent guidance. Expect to fail at some things which you will do better and succeed in the future. I was always interested in plants, gardening, digging in the soil. I did primary houseplants for most of my life but began serious efforts about 8 years ago. Pushing 72 I am finally seeing the best results I ever experienced with my plants. Learning is a wonderful journey if you don’t allow the fails to deter you 😊!
Thank you! This is literally the first time I have to deal with plants, I'm far from knowing a lot, definitely a beginner learner so I'm expecting already the worst hahaha and I'm still happy about it. If it gets too difficult I'll consider fake ones 😅
Turned out amazing I love it
Thank you!!!!!
I think you do a Great job. So authentic and you kept safety in mind by lighting up the darkness. I absolutely feel inspired. Thanks for sharing your amazing work ❤❤❤
Appreciate your comment! Keeping it real and safe, glad it inspired you!
Gardening is a lot of work. This is your home and the best thing about it is you can design your garden however you want. Have fun with it!
Hands down to this !!! ☺️ Thank you!! I love reading comments like this ❤️
This turned out really nice. ❤ I have turned pots that large plants come in upside-down in large containers to save on dirt. Just another idea. 😊
Thank you for that idea, I'd actually try that next time, I bet having the container base as a flat surface makes easier the plating process.
I am doing this landscape soon. Need that quality manager LOL
She's the best, very demanding tho. hahaha. Thanks for watching 😃
Love the simplicity as well as the style choice. Clean modern lines with planters, plants, and lighting. Impact! Wow.
Thank you!! 😊
I enjoyed watching this.
This makes me happy, thank you!!!
The detail and panning shots are cool. But it would be nice to see some wide shots to understand the curb view as well.
Oh! that's a really good suggestion. I'll include some on next video I have planned that also involves the front of the house. Thanks!
Great job on the hardscape Tony! Love the night lights. Some of the plant choices seem tender. A tip; during the different seasons see what your neighbors have growing and thriving. On the same west facing side of the yard. At the end of the day you learn plants by doing. Trial and error. 🌱
That's a really good tip, thanks! I am very bad at taking care of plants, not my skill haha so for sure there will be a lot of trial and huge errors 🤣
Looks pretty, but not sure how long it will last. I believe your pavers need a better and deeper base to remain level long term. For plant health, you should really only use potting soil in your pots. For perennials to survive over winter, it's usually recommended to choose plants that are rated 2 growing zones colder than your actual zone. The roots don't have as much insulation as if they were in the ground.
Also, the pots are likely to give you more work than your shrubs in the long run, as they need constant watering. Especially if they are in the full sun.
But really love the overall effect. Good luck!
I was about to say the same thing. I do like the modern look but modern look usually requires more work than he thinks. and looks better around patios, pools and commercial buildings where you would change the plants every season. He is going to have to set up a drip system. to make sure they get enough of water during the summer months. and plastic if in sun to long usually cook the roots so you will have to water probably almost every day. He's going to have to wrap those planters in the winter.
Thank you! I'm bad with plants, I'm switching all my interior plants to fake one , I'll try a little harder with the ones outside but I do consider they all might die and I just ended up changing them yearly. Hahaha we'll see how it goes.
Really nice transformation!
Thank you!! =D
Gorgeous
Thank you! 😊
OM gosh!! This is spectacular!! So glad I saw this! I am going to do this!! I need to landscape my whole yard and I didn’t know what to do. This is my kind of landscaping!!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing that, it makes my day knowing I could help. Enjoy transforming your yard! 🌱🏡
I have strangely similar pre-renovation landscape but haven't been brave enough to tackle it haha. Love the idea of using pots, easily swapping design in the future. And those lights 👏
Another kill vid Tony!
Thanks Danny! Same happened to me. Took me a few years to finally take care of it. Hope to see yours too once you get it done ;)
I love the simplicity and clean look, which is what I want for my backyard. I'm sharing with my sister since she loves simple and not hard work. Thank you.
thanks a lot for sharing! Simple, good looking, and not hard to maintain is my favorite combination =D
I like how you did your borders. I’m thinking of something very similar. Thanks! 😊
Thank you!! I'm glad this might help you. =D
Great video! Thank you. It looks amazing, and you are so organized!
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you for sharing this! I love the transformation
Thank you!!
This was very motivational. I may be inspired!!!
Thank you!
Very nice. Being from zone 9b, I'm not too familiar with your plants but I like them.
Thank you! Me neither I'm bad at plants, just tried to pick the best by the label considering my condition. Glad you like them =]
I enjoyed your presentation style, as well as your ideas and explanation for why you made the decisions you did. I'd love to see an update during winter or next spring to see how things evolve. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! Happy to know you enjoy it. I'll make an update for sure.
The project, your video, and your physique, all lovely :) subbed!
Beautifully done. Next time you work on pots, you might want to go ahead and fill up the pot with potting soil and not use the stone/plastic bottle fillers. Reason being that the plants will grow better and more likely make it through your zone 5 arctic winters! 🥶😊
thank you!! low key I'm a bit nervous on how it will go during winter. I'm bad with plants. I'm thinking about buying insulated pot covers for winter and give them a try this year.
Looks great! Nice balance of planter boxes and beds . Great job of choice of plants!
Awesome!!!!!!
Thank you!!!!
Just beautiful , love plants thanks Tony for sharing...!
Thank you!! 🥰
@@DesigningWithTony 😉👍
Loved the outcome! Beautiful work
Thank you very much!
Thanks for taking us on your step by step transformation of your exterior planting. It’s a very personal expression when you do your own garden, hopefully turning out the way you expected it to. When this is the first step in changing the look of your home viewers react as if that’s all you plan on doing, and some of these negative comments arise because you had not made it clear that you are just starting and more changes are planned.
I’m an interior designer and sometimes have clients concerned part way through the process of a renovation or new build as they see a phase completed, and think things are not looking they way they imagined, so I have to reassure them when the balance of the design plan is completed everything will fully come together.
My suggestion to you is to spray paint your entire home in a good neutral colour with some darker colour on trim, and a dramatic pop of colour on your new contemporary front door and modern handrails. I’ve done this on previous homes I’ve owned as well as for clients, the last one I did for clients in the Montreal area still illicit lots of compliments.
The negative comments about the watering is easily overcome with an automated drip irrigation system, allowing you to control the amount of water for each planter. I’d also suggest adding some trailing plants to soften the edges of the planters which you trim in length as you wish.
I’m a bit biased in terms of planting in pots, as I live in a townhouse complex and the gardens around me have little space for adding plants without strata approval so I have 90 % of my 40 odd pots in blue glazed, multi sized, and the rest in black. I refer to my home as the “The House of Blue Pots”, and get tons of positive comments about my choice of plant materials and how attractive everything looks, and feel that with your complete project of upgrading your home’s exterior, you’ll have folks liking it even more.
Keep going, and let we viewers follow you as you move forward.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! It means a lot to me when people like you understand this is a journey and that there's still much more to come in transforming a home. I'm definitely planning to change the color of the house, and those modern handrails are high up on my list! With any luck, they'll be a reality by the end of this summer. It's not always a quick fix like on TV shows, but that's part of what makes this hobby so enjoyable for me. Thanks again for your support and encouragement!
I totally, totally agree with you about using pots for the plants ! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🏋🏽♂️💗💗
The best! Not for everyone if course but keeps my ocd happy. Thank you🫶
Amazing job and amazing video, good work Tony!! Please make moooorrrre. 🏳️🌈 I wish I had your creativity. Beautiful home!

I love this video. Exactly what I was looking for
Thank you!
This is awesome!!! Thank you for sharing
Glad you like it 😀Thanks for watching!
Love the end result! One note for anyone watching: it's CRITICAL that the air conditioning unit is on level ground. It didn't look like this was level after replacing it. If it's not level, the bearing in the fan motor will wear out faster and the compressor motor will not lubricate properly. That's an expensive fix! Generally speaking, unless the concrete pad is cracked, there's never a reason to have to remove it to install weed blocker.
Thank you!
Love this!! This is my style.
Not for everyone but we're not alone! Haha thank you!
Love it.
Thank you!!
Wow looks great….very inspiring thanks
Thank you!
Very lovely Tony.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you! =]
It turned out great. I love my garden yard too. I found it hard to part with my planters as living in Chicago and moving from condo to condo with small patios spaces. Been in my house for 15years and I finally started planting beds of plants and flowers. I still have some containers as accents but not this many. To each their own. A trick I use to fill large pots is to save all the styrofoam from my tv packaging. I break it up and add 1/3 of pot size then potting soil.
Thank you! And appreciate the tip of the styrofoam , definitely handy for the next time☺️
I love the design ! Also the lighting gave me ideas, can't wait til the next video. I'm in texas, so a different climate.
Lovely
Thank you!! 😊
Gorgeous and smart, i love it!
Glad you like it! Thank you!
you did a such wonderful job and hard work...I don't think I can't do that myself😅

Saludos desde Southern California
Muchas gracias por la subscription!! it was def a lot of work =)
Great job! I love it.
Thank you!
I love the clean look of your design. The only thing I would say to you if you want your plants to overwinter outside in those pots is to line the inside of the planters with something that will keep the frost out. Otherwise the planter will freeze the soil and kill your plant roots. I’m speaking from experience 😉
thank you!! I'm thinking about buying insulated pot covers for winter and giving them a try. What do you think?
@@DesigningWithTony I think that’s a great idea. 💪👍. Also, if you are in a cold growing zone like I am (zone 6B) you can top dress your pots with mulch to protect the root balls from snowfall or cold winter rain.
Ooh! Thank you! Good to know this now
@@DesigningWithTony keep up the good content. I’ve subscribed to your channel. I’m thinking of starting my own 😊
Stunning
