  • My dear friends (Matt and Melissa) have been waiting for a few years to have their yard overhauled. So….this weekend, I headed to Traverse City with a few of my guys while Matt and Melissa were out of town. THEY HAVE NO CLUE! Watch this project from start to finish, and even their reaction at the end!
    What would you do if your yard got overhauled by surprise?

    Jack, I love your heart and your kindness. When she said, “You made our house a home.” I don’t know how you didn’t cry. Talented people like you and your team makes people’s dreams a reality. I know they will treasure this yard and it will put a smile on their faces every day. Congratulations on another beautiful transformation.

    What a beautiful transformation! Thank you for showing the before exterior of the house. They did a great job picking paint colors and your landscaping just made their property 100% perfect. I love how everything looks so natural. I never would have believed you dumped all those huge rocks there, if I hadn’t watched the video. They look like they’ve been there a hundred years and everything was built up around the rocks. Talent and a heart of gold. You are a 💎 gem!

What a wonderful friend you are, Jack, and your crew of magnificent helpers. Friendship like yours is a true gift to all who know you. What a beautiful space you have created yet again. Thank you for the beauty you add to Mother Natures landscape. You never seem to overstep her, but enhance what she has created for us to enjoy. Thank you! 🦋

  • @willowtreehill19
    @willowtreehill19 Před 2 lety +1

    This was so touching and amazing, I was teary eyed with the homeowner as she looked around and realized what a gift you gave them. What a blessing you are to this family, and so many others. Your talent and eye for design is incredible, and I'm so glad I found your channel on here. We're from Central IL, but our son and daughter-in-law live in Saginaw, so we've been to Mackinac Island and surrounding areas, but now I want to go back and look at everything with fresh eyes, based on your landscaping. I'm super passionate about creating a green space around our home, and it's been a long, tiring, physically demanding process on our own, after we built our home 7 years ago. We can't afford to have it all done for us, and there is so much more I would love to have done, that I know will likely never happen. So I would FREAK OUT and be sobbing out of shock & excitement if I came home to such a beautiful landscape! Great job!

Paul, I am really happy you did not need a trip to the ER. You are a Ninja Warrior. I love what you do. I can't wait to see what you do next. I started watching to learn more about plants and placement. You are teaching so much more. May God continue to bless you and keep you safe. Even from BEE's. ❤ (Middle of the Mitten)
