The gardens are looking gorgeous, Matthew. The mulch on the front garden allows the plantings to shine against the dark mulch. So much progress in so little time. I’m in awe of the work you have done to get to this point. Be sure to give yourself some time to just sit back and enjoy it all.

Everything is looking so good. It is amazing how mulch adds to the flower bed. I am enjoying your journey with your new home. Thanks for sharing.

The drone shot at the beginning is fabulous!! Wow!

It is looking beautiful, Matthew! The front garden bed is stunning!

Thank you Matthew, dreams coming true, that’s what I see in your garden ! Lovely ! 🌺💚🙃

The front garden looks fabulous! I really enjoy your channel. Thank you ❤

The gardens looks so good with mulch! Plus the plants are growing bigger also!

Your gardens look so beautiful. You have done an amazing job!

Wow that overhead shot is amazing!! Everything looks so great!!!

I suspect your Pycnanthemum might be extra happy because it’s in that delightful rich, loose raised bed soil. I’ve had it in the ground for five years now in average soil and it has expanded a bit but only as far as I would have expected and it’s playing nicely with others. It’s a fabulous plant and definitely deserves a space in gardens, but a bit of tough love might do it good.

Oh that’s good to know I shouldn’t be pulling it out of my floorboards later! 😂

Wow! Your hydrangea hedge and containers are beautiful. I love that you made your gardens so wide. Your home and property looks like a mansion. Great job!

I am amazed at how much you are able to get done in just a few days. You have a great eye for design and your plant selection is lovely. That heuchera river is so impressive, looking forward to seeing it fill in.

Love all the fresh mulch and wood chips, Matthew. I know you’re glad to get this finished. The hydrangeas look wonderful.

You new home and new garden look great!

❤Yeah, waiting for the morning thunderstorm to end so I can get outside and your video came up to inspire me! THANK YOU!!!! 😊 Everyone go to Lowe’s today for clearance plants! They’re short staffed and there’s so much to choose from now!!! ❤😂

You have a gorgeous property there! ❤

Matthew your landscape is looking gorgeous! I wish you would film you doing the work itself like edging, mulching, planting.

Wow! What a difference mulch makes! I can't believe all you've accomplished already Matthew!!! For your grub problem I believe there are also beneficial nematodes that could be applied this time of year. I've used them recently with some success. Happy gardening! ❤

Thank you Matthew. I'm hoping to add some Limelight Prime shrubs next to my Emerald Green Arborvitae. Mixing in a lot of evergreen and deciduous for better year round interest in 6b/7a.

Nice. I did that at the last home. Here, I’ve been concerned about deer and they love those arborvitae. I’ve been skeptical to plant them since I just saw one last night.

Everything is looking great! Love your choices and future design ideas. Can’t wait to see it installed with additional hard space around the pool. Fantastic job!!💚

That opening shot made me say WOW. Looks so great!!!!

Beautiful!!! It’s really coming together!! Your hard work is paying off… Stunning 🤩

Beautiful ! You have gotten so much accomplished in such a short time 🌼🐝

I’m impressed! Your new hydrangea hedge looks awsome - especially since you just put it in. Great job with the edging, too It’s so crisp and tailored looking; it really sets off your beds. Love it.

Mathew those hydrangea's are stunning. I have only seen blue ones never white or cream coloured. Everything looking so nice. Thank you so much allow me to walk in your garden.

I am amazed at your progress!! It's absolutely amazing!! The pool area is my favorite! the hedge and the pots are stunning!

Congrats! Lots of work but mulch just is the icing on the cake. You are making so much progress and it is looking wonderful

Hi Matthew! OMGolly, the front flower bed looks so pretty with the mulch. It made such a big difference. Loved the drone shot! I'm really loving the heuchera river alongside the boxwoods. The mulch really made them stand out more. Your limelight prime hedge is looking beautiful. I like the backdrop of the black fence. The 9' beds will be so nice for you to have the room to plant in front of them. Extending the pavers by the pool will make a big difference, and it will be nice to have the extra room for lounge chairs, etc. Your idea of a pergola will look nice there, too. I always look forward to seeing what you will be doing next. Thank you so much for sharing!

I lived in Troy Ohio, and three years ago planted two of the proven winners Chardonnay pearl shrubs. Absolutely love them! They put out beautiful, white pearl and then flowers in the spring and keep their chartreuse color throughout the summer. I think they look perfect next to hydrangeas! Love the videos thanks

I love your front flowerbed and all those hydrangeas are gorgeous.

So beautiful and with the dark mulch it is awesome, love your gardens.

The gardens are so beautiful.

Wow I thought those first views were from a computer app.

How exciting! 9ft all around the possibilities are endless 😍

OMG gorgeous! So looking to watching it grow and you taking care of it.

Everything looks beautiful ❤

Wow, you have done a great job Matthew! Limelight Prime hedge for the win! Loved the drone view at the beginning too. We are getting ready for hurricane Beryl in TX - hopefully there won't be too much damage.

Looking great Matthew!! Job well done!

Wow

The bed looks fantastic, so pretty!! Fantastic job!!

Hi Matthew! I was having the same situation with the moles destroying my garden. I use Grub X every beginning of spring. I treat my garden every year, and problem solved 🎉

I underplanted my Bobo hydrangeas with deutzia cherry blossom, all planted last fall. Looked very pretty this spring!

Turns out they’re pretty popular because they cover an electrical box for the pool. But, I’m not a fan and have been on the hunt for something to replace it with.

Wow‼️🙌

Wow, you have done so much work in your yard and it shows. That hydrangea hedge is amazing! Please make the video for the grubs. I have that issue as well and would love to get rid of them if possible. Thank you for the videos!!!

Turn out as u draw.impressive accomplishments.hope i can be diligent as you in my garden too someday

Absolutely beautiful! You've done ao much!

Very pretty lime lights😍

My Gomphrena snapped off at the base after a heavy storm. I will rethink where I put it next year. Your gardens are looking great, and you have really put a lot of work into it! Thanks for mentioning that the milky spore needs to be reapplied. It’s probably been over 10 years since I did it and I have more Japanese beetles this year than I have in a long time.

Liquid iron (chelated iron) from southern Ag - foliar spray - that plus the iron tone is what worked for us most quickly and long - term

Hi Matthew, moles usually dine on insects and rarely eat plant roots. However they can certainly disrupt the roots when tunneling which can result in damage to the plant . I have gophers here in my northern Calif garden. They eat Dahlia tubers, eryngiums, any sort of Allium and even parsley-perhaps cleansing their palate after taking my onions down. I definitely prefer the moles-they can have as many grubs as they want !

Your garden is so gorgeous! I especially love the beautiful color of those roses going up your arched trellis! Wow! I have treated my lawn two times this year and two times last year for Japanese beetles. (Spring & early summer) It has REALLY helped my garden thrive w no bites on the leaves this year. They are gone for the season here🙌🏼.(They usually last about five weeks) This year I averaged picking off about 10 Japanese beetles a day!🙌🏼Lawn applications work!(Of course I had other bugs problems because of our mild winter here in SC.) like you said, do your research for your area… You still may be able to apply on your lawn. It’s probably good to possibly do it this year to get rid of some of them because they have probably reproduced a lot. I did research too and now I’m an expert!😂 The Japanese beetles know Entering my yard is a bad decision!🤣

Hi Matthew, I love the drone shot. The new bed looks amazing. I think you are correct with the hydrangea needing iron. In would be interesting to see it again in a few weeks to see how it picks up. I love the row of Limelight Prime. Over here in the UK e can't get the Prime, only the original Limelight. You are doing so well with all the different areas. 😊😊😊

Wow, just wow!!!

Matthew, everything looks beautiful, especially all the flower planters. I love the black accents in fencing, pots, benches, etc. How is the side yard looking with the barn area? ❤

Beautiful! Blessings!

Holy mackerel! You mentioned two plants I have! Bought Mountain Mint to replace a Limelight hydrangea because of deer damage. It’s new, and I don’t see any runners but it’s in the ground! I really didn’t want to fight runners so I may have to move it into a big pot. I will watch and thanks for the warning.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Beautiful.

Wow vườn hoa của bạn rất đẹp ,bạn rất giỏi trồng hoa 🌺.

Beautiful.

Beautiful 🌷🌺🌸

Great job!!!!!

Beautiful!

Lovely garden, keep it up

Grub-X works great and lasts a few years. Also, grubs hatch into japanese beetles, and that bug does a lot of damage

Have Deutzia cherry blossom and it’s one great plant. Lovely and deer don’t touch it.

Jenny of Creekside Nursery youtube channel just said that after July 4th, you should cut the leggy petunias back - give them a haircut, and you can even cut them in a circle. It will now (usually in 2 weeks) rebound with a more dense form, more branches. I did that last year and it really worked. It looked kind of naked, but for the rest of the season, it was well worth it. You may need to do this with the ones next to the sidewalk. And with all the others as well.

Wow so beauts😍im so envy😅

Wow 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸❤️

Beautiful I ❤ it 💯💡🤗

Matthew, I saw a post on the milky-spore and they indicated application was spring summer and fall (3 x per year) for2 years. St Gabriel Organics makes the product I saw advertised

I love your garden. It’s looking beautiful. I love your videos also. Very informative.

Try using some castor oil on the mole holes they will leave the area.

Oh Matthew! That initial view is amazing!! What a labor of love. It's coming along beautifully.

The garden looks beautiful with the mulch! You have accomplished a lot in a short period of time. I like the idea of extending the patio in the pool area. If I could make a few suggestions to think about. I think a curved edge would look wonderful, the mirror your black fence. Also, go BIG! I know you said a few feet but think about what you really want it to be for the future, as you plan your pergola and add additional seating. I do think it will be expensive, but worth the investment to get what you really want. Every project we do is more than what we've expected. Whatever you decide, Matthew, it will be great. You have a good eye for design!

I do not feel your hydrangea is an iron deficiency but lacking epsom salt. I live near you since we shop at the same nurseries and all. I have 13 of them and last week they were all lacking magnesium so I gave them 2 tablespoons around the base of each of them and watered them in........solved my issue. Been doing this process for years! I also use it on my rose bushes as well. They generally need it 2-3 times yearly. You'll know when the leaves turn yellow and drop. You can get it at Lowe's/Home Depot. My spireas love it too.

Looks amazing!!! All your hard work is paying off now. What edging tool do you use? I don't recall seeing you ever use it on here? I'm considering buying one and would love to know what you use and how you like it.

I did a whole video on it in November. It’s not for the average homeowner because of its cost, but it does a great job.

I just wonder about a couple of narrow footpaths through it - seems a huge bed. Hope you don't have Bunnies. They're killing me this year.

Good God Matthew! How many hydrangea are in that row? 😮

There’s 36 in that hedge. There’s 8 or so more of the same variety, but a bit smaller on the other part of the fence.
