See How We Transformed Our Backyard

Additional Information

In 2021 we began a new garden space in our backyard. This was a complete DIY backyard project. We used recycled and reclaimed hardscape materials found on Facebook Marketplace for the majority of the hardscaping materials such as cobblestone & flagstone. From designing the space, to doing our hardscape, then planting out the landscape, George and I did it all together over the course of 2 years (2021-2023). In this video we show you the complete project with footage from the beginning to the end. While this video focuses primarily on the infrastructure, hardscaping & French Drain in the new garden, you can find videos of the planting of this space in my "Japanese Maple Garden Playlist" by clicking the button:
