DIY Landscape Transformations: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Sometimes the hardest part of landscaping is fixing a past error. In this project, we had to tackle the heavy task of removing a mature Colorado Blue Spruce that was planted far too close to the house. It was a costly "rookie mistake" involving stump grinding and sprinkler repairs, but we turned it into a massive win by replacing it with a stunning, narrow Picea engelmannii ‘Bush’s Lace’ conifer. Watch to see the full removal process and why you should never ignore a plant tag!

Creating a brand new flower bed doesn't have to mean breaking your back to remove sod. In this project, we built a complete no-dig garden bed from scratch using the sheet mulching method. We also tackled a major backyard eyesore, an exposed well pipe, by covering it with a realistic faux rock that became the perfect anchor for our new planting space. Watch the full step by step process, from laying out the base and choosing the right edging to planting a beautiful mix of shrubs and perennials!

Adding the soothing sound of water is one of the best ways to elevate your outdoor space. In this project, we tackle the heavy lifting required to install a classic Campania Williamsburg Pineapple 2 Tier Garden Fountain. Watch the full step by step setup of this beautiful concrete water feature, from prepping the space to getting the water flowing. If you want to create a peaceful backyard retreat and add timeless elegance to your landscape, this stylish upgrade is the perfect inspiration!

Wood raised beds are classic, but untreated pine often breaks down and rots within just a few years. In this all-encompassing project, we tackled the heavy lifting of completely transforming our backyard space by replacing our 7-year-old wooden beds with durable metal Vego Garden beds. Watch the start-to-finish process as we clear the old layout, build the new metal beds, and prep the soil for my dream cottage cut-flower garden!
