I am so glad that you take us along for this garden transformation. I am loving it.😊

Linda, those men are hard workers! So many times,our tradesmen are not given enough credit for their skills.

Absolutely! I am so appreciative of their work as a viewer, because I know I couldn’t do that!😮

I generally just watch and do a "thumbs up" ..... but I had to tell you that this patio is incredible. Those guys are to be appreciated and commended for their excellent talent (and I know you do). Your back yard is going to be awesome!

Linda, that patio is a masterpiece! Your backyard will be your own little paradise to be enjoyed for all seasons!

What you have accomplished at your cottage since moving in is amazing!

Linda, everything is coming together! So good to see Kayla back and healed up. The guys have done a fabulous job!!

Linda mentioned she had ,may be sometime late May. Not at Linda's. She did ask us to keep her in our prayers and send her good thoughts. And she was in this video for the first time since she mentioned it.

Oh I just love it!!! It looks like a perfectly placed brick rug in the middle of the back yard. And I am eager to see how the rest of the area transforms into a beautiful back yard oasis! Your master craftsmen deserve a party in their honor once it’s all done - they’ve endured extreme heat, large trucks full of plants, cameras at every turn & I’m sure any number of visitors touring where they were trying to work!!! They are fast working & perfectionists - what more could you ask for?!

Gorgeous patio! You are blessed to have a team that installed your beautiful stairs and patio.

Another spectacular transformation …. Now I can see it!!!! Well done to you and your whole team!!!!!

Christmas tree idea is brilliant!

I love the indoor/ outdoor Christmas tree idea also.🎄

Patio "rug" is fabulous! They are wonderful craftspeople! You are blessed to have them.

This is one of the most beautiful brick patio designs that I have ever seen. The use of the aged brick and pavers gives a timeless look that cannot be achieved with new material. This is a masterpiece.

The back patio looks gorgeous. Those guys are truly talented!

Wow Linda the guys did an excellent job on the patio pavers how long did it take them to do it? Bless their hearts doing it in the 100 degrees and I like the design you chose too. The outdoor Xmas tree idea will look fantastic can’t wait.

WOW! YOUR BRICK PATIO IS BEAUTIFUL ❤ PLEASE TELL THE GUYS THEY DID A GREAT JOB 👏👏👏👏

Sergio and Xavier have true talent in their field. I hope they know how valuable people that can do this type of work are! Your outdoor living room is going to be a showstopper thanks to your vision and their expertise to bring it to life!

Wow!!! That looks spectacular. Don't let Sergio go anywhere ♥️

Zone 8- Wish I had a Javier and a Sergio! I am just SO amazed (ok, and Jealous-I admit it) of the speed and the experience they have and what that “rug” (and those “steps”)do for that backyard! It’s BEAUTIFUL! Job well done!

Oh wow Linda. It looks beautiful! The whole yard is taking shape. Great design is coming to life. I love watching the whole experience.

These two gentlemen are absolutely amazing! The patio looks amazing ❤️🌿

LOVE LOVE LOVE the brick patio rug! Gentlemen you did a great job! It will look like it’s been there forever. Kudos Javier and Sergio!

I need a Sergio! ❤ The patio and garden area will be so magically. What a wonderful place to be at peace with one’s soul. I so love how it’s all coming together.

Mamma Mia! This is just beautiful.... the team with Kayla, Sergio and Javier have done magnificent work with their attention to detail and high level of skill. This is true art.

I like the herringbone pattern at an angle “A”. However which layout you end up choosing will be gorgeous!

Wow, those guys did a spectacular job placing the brick pattern. I have to admit a small part of me thought that a pool would be great, but don't tell hubs. LOL

That team of yours has done a great job, it’s going to look fabulous 😊

I couldn't hear Stuart when he said "pool" I thought I heard 'tomb" and then Linda was at a loss for words. Oh my! I'm so happy it was just a cement border in the spot. I absolutely love the brick patio and the new steps in your backyard.

I've seen Christmas trees outdoors or on porches. I love that! I'm glad you are planning to plant nandinas. I love the softness they give.

I love that you showed the complete project in one video. The final project turned out beautifully. Good job to Sergio and Xavier.!!!

Beautiful, like an antique rug. Your style is so classic and timeless (to me). Love the idea of outdoor Christmas tree with bird feed as ornaments. You get the view and the melodious chirping. Looking forward to seeing all your ideas come to life and pure joy of watching it. Thank you Can’t say enough at the wonderful team you have working for you. So talented and hardworking, creating masterpieces (that’s exactly what they are) 👏 Hats off to Kayla Javier and Sergio and their entire team

Christimas tree is a great idea. As for the mystery concrete, I thought Hubs is the family archeologist. Put him to work. Could be fun. The rug is stunning.

To find a team like that is priceless! Love it!

Good Morning Linda!! It's going to be so beautiful. You have a great cameraman and wow an amazing crew!!❤

Those guys are amazing! So talented! You are blessed to find them!🙏❤️

The idea of a living Christmas tree and the location is pure genius!

My hat is off to these two gentlemen. Their work is very remarkable.

I bet you’re so excited to be to this point in your outdoor rooms. What an amazing 2023 The Cottage on the Hill has enjoyed. I’m blown away at how much has been accomplished in a short seven months.

Wow! Just love the entire "RUG" !!!!! Those workers are just wonderful!!!! True Artists!

Those 2 gentlemen are so skilled at their profession. They do amazing brick work. So glad they had shade and hopefully stayed well hydrated! Amazing thank you all for sharing!

They are true artisans. Absolutely spectacular!

Love your patio can’t wait to see your plantings around it and your table scape.

You are fortunate to have such amazing craftsmen doing this work! Appreciate them greatly! 😊

Javier and Sergio are amazing craftsmen. The look of the patio is unique and showcases their wonderful workmanship. Linda, your vision is happening before our eyes!

Wow that's fabulous. Those workman are amazing and tidy. I love the idea of the Christmas tree on the outside it will be magnificent no doubt. Looking forward to the next installment. 😊

I am so impressed with the workers who have installed both the irrigation system and their meticulous preparation of the patio ...so neat and tidy! True artists!

Absolutely, gorgeous! The craftsmanship of the men is amazing! What a gift, thanks for sharing, Linda.

It looks beautiful! Those guys are very good at their job!👍😎❤️

Those guys are a gift! Good to see Kayla again. I can’t wait to see it finished!

An absolutely beautiful pavery rug . One of a kind and unique and the workmanship is outstanding . These guys are magicians and visionary task fulfilling. Love these segments and all of the work related insight as well as their professional ethics that is extremely noticeable. You hit the jackpot with these wonderful helpers , craftsmen and friends . Love it. And know that your finishings touches will be more spectacular than anyone could expect. Genius.

Love this video! I think the patio is beautiful, and you surely do have two talented men to make it happen. Good to see Kayla, too! I am looking forward to the Christmas tree! Your Christmas videos are some of my favorites.

That is a work of art. The curving steps with the round patio is wonderful.

Love the patio! And I love the idea of the outdoor Christmas tree! I went to a Christmas open house years ago, and a homeowner had a outdoor live tree in a weathered old urn, with lights and grapevine as garland. She had dried hydrangeas and holly stem/picks throughout the tree (some of the picks were faux but looked real). She had small flower pots, some antique watering cans, pine cones and raffia throughout the tree. There were some birds nest and a big twig star on top. It was exquisite! I have never forgotten it because it was so striking. I know with your talented eye for design , you will create something magical! Oh and almost forgot, she had some magnolia leaves tucked in too! I’m in Georgia 8a , it was the 1st weekend in December and it was mild and a lovely day. We had a fun day🎄

WOW ❤️❤️❤️Javier and Sergio are true Artisans of their craft .. how lucky you are to have so many talented, and creative people to work with you ❤️❤️

When you are finally able to add your signature touches to this backyard oasis it will be a place of beauty and peace. Commendations to Javiar and Sergio for a job well done. They are artists and skilled craftsmen who take great pride in their work.

Beautiful craftsmanship Sergio and Javier!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Patio is like one big mosaic project. Beautiful ! Getting ready to put in a tiny patio area and going to use round stepping stones and bricks to make a look of a flower. Round step stone in the middle with bricks around it as the petals on a flower..hope that makes sense to you 😊 Have a wonderful week ❤

Beautiful steps and patio design. Those gentlemen are so talented. Everything we have seen thus far at the new cottage has been just perfection! I’m so happy for you Linda and may you continue to fulfill your dream at the cottage on the hill! 💕💕

Love how your backyard is progressing. Javier and his team have done a fantastic job! So beautiful!❤

Love choice 'A'...it looks fantastic! The guys are true artisans!❤

Kudos to Sergio and Javier they sure very talented craftsmen !!! Please let them know many compliments are coming their way !! Backyard will be such a cozy area.

What wonderful craftsmen you have…every thing they’ve done is beautiful. How many people would work in this kind of heat!👏🏻❤

Absolutely beautiful! They did an AWESOME JOB🥹😳🥹All GLOVELESS! The spaces 😍 YES!

LOVE the Christmas tree idea!

Oh, to have the means and the manpower for this spectacular patio!!!! Loving the look. I only hope there is a BBQ in their future with huge grilled T Bone steaks, and a large bucket with ice cold coronas and limes! These guys are amazing, hard working artists!

BRILLIANT idea for the Christmas tree!

Hi Linda, once again you do not disappoint your followers! I am so in love with how the backyard is coming along. I truly like the dining area brick and stones motif, it is beautiful 😍 i also noticed how you are incorporating the border design from the front landscape into the backyard, very appropriately designed. Looking forward to more updates 😊❤

I love the "carpet"!! It beautiful, practical and durable. What an inspiration! 💕🌸🌺🌼🌻

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL pattern for your patio! Sergio & Javier ARE TRULY MASTERS OF THIER CRAFT!

Javier is an artist. It's going to be lovely. I'm in love with it already. Hi Stewart. Hi Kayla.

Exciting....like your husband, I also would have seen that shape and excitedly thought POOL!!! But alas I am not going to get one either. I am hoping for a green house....if I can't have a POOL!!! Love your back patio. They did a good job. I like the shape.

I love the front but, I love the back better. Just loving the back of your home. beautiful

That backyard is screaming for a beautiful water feature!

Wow! Those two Sergio and Javier are definitely perfectionist craftsmen! Looks great!

I just couldn’t imagine what you were going to do with that back yard, but it is going to be spectacular. Love, love, love that patio!can’t wait to see the finished product. Also love the front yard.

Absolutely beautiful. With your vision and the guys working their magic.....wow!

I can hardly wait for topiary week. You've got me hooked on topiaries.🙂

I was holding my breathe when you were talking about surprises in your garden! Glad it wasn't a snake! 😏 Yor back yard will be beautiful! ☺

Lynne here. Absolutely amazing vision. Gives me goosebumps 😂 I can see your indoor outdoor tree lit up with white lights and birdseed ornaments using cookie cutters. So fun.

Spectacular, indeed! Love the respect you have for your contractors and laborers. Kayla is always happy to stop by to explain the process and you always address everyone by name. Can’t wait till Christmas!!!

Your Christmas tree idea is a great one!!!❤

Love the inside/out Xmas idea. Will look magical at night 🌉 with lights and decorations 👏

Those guys did such a great job. They really know how to do high quality work and in that heat no less! I love the scale of the patio too! So many fun possibilities! p.s. Hope the bunnies haven't put your place on the nibbling circuit. They are very cute but a pain.

Patio/rug looks amazing! I have learned about myself (from watching gardening videos on KZread) that the hardscape projects excite me more than the gardening/planting projects. Of course, I love both and we need both to create a beautiful space....but my heart races over the hardscape! :-) Great job everyone! Beautiful!

Everything looks wonderful! The azalea bloom is beautiful.

Wow!! Your vision and their talent to create such a beautiful brick rug! Such team work! Phenomenal!❤ LOVE it!

They are quiet the craftsmen. Gorgeous patio.

I'm Loveing it!!.. beautiful floor layout for the outdoors living room. Great job. Mikaela has great group of workers. Javie,Sergio, and Felipe for doing such a great job on the bricks. Linda as always you have out done yourself and only the beginning ✨️ ❤️

Kudos to the guys for working in this heat!

Linda, you should consider tumbling toms tomatoes. They are great size for window boxes and just produce like crazy. We purchase them in hanging pots and they do very well in hanging pots because of their size. It’s end of July and they are still producing and have so many blooms for more.

My dear husband built us a oval outdoor dining area and fire pit. It’s a great space for us or for when we have our adult kiddos come home. You will enjoy this so much.

It's gorgeous, and they are such professionals. You'll appreciate their art every time you set foot outside.

What a spectacular dining room achieved by amazing craftsmanship.

Everyone: Aw so cute! Linda:🐰 Aaaah!

The brick rug looks amazing! I absolutely love how it looks and how it compliments the steps! Great creativity Linda!

Xavier and Sergio are solid gold. Well done guys!

This space is going to look so beautiful Linda! I love the idea of the 🎄 being outside in front of that window, it will leave you more space. in your room and yet will be glowing through the window and feeding the woodland animals this will be so precious! 💚

A nice surprise on Sunday afternoon!

Hi Linda , u layed out the ground work and the guys did it Awesome the stones the guys was diging up could have been a firepit , everything has come together because of your brilliant ideas . love all of it just a beautiful home and more to come ❤

Oh my goodness, how fantastic does this look! I absolutely love the curved steps, and the patio carpet looks incredible! You must feel so happy to have had the idea and then the craftsmen to put it into life. Every video just gets better. P.s. it's also nice to see that the sky also comes in a blue option. We only seem to have grey! The whole of July and into August has been cold, grey and wet here in the UK. I'm still wearing my winter/ spring clothing 😂. Thank you and Stewart for another "pick me up" video 😊

Poppy and I are so excited about your backyard garden design video! Poppy is an 11-month old cavapoo who will soon be trained as a volunteer community pollinator garden companion! Looking forward to seeing you in person linda in October in Hendersonville NC at our garden symposium. We master gardener volunteers at The Park at Flat Rock ❤ LOVE ❤ you and have been watching you for years! - Wendy B ps: I’d attach this funny video of Poppy watching you on TV if I knew how!
