Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
If you're lucky enough to have a backyard this beautiful, there's no need for a cottage! Designer Brian Gluckstein gives us a tour of his lush urban oasis in Toronto, which was over 20 years in the making. The whole outdoor space is surrounded by large trees, providing ample shade for lounging in the garden or doing laps in the pool. You'll love the three sets of French doors framed with planters and candle lanterns, and the high-tech barbecue surrounded by lemon and lime trees. Plus, learn more about Brian's savvy irrigation system, so he never has to worry about watering the plants!

So much personality - in both, the backyard and the designer 😊
This is my favorite pool. I don't like all that hardware around the pool either. Well done!
Beautiful. Nothing like an old, established garden

Wow, I just left a comment that was a lengthier version of this exact sentiment. I only saw your comment now. I'm so with you Justin. Big beautiful trees are a must.
Love Brian, he's my favorite designer. everything so elegant and simple.
All Exactly what i love huge trees, maples, water,hard work, flowers, french doors, knowin all your trees, shade in summer, sun in winter, drip while workin ,fruit trees for just plucking them live, turf, wow wow wow i guess i found myself here,The video really do satisfies me🙇🙇🙇🙇
Looks like a peaceful relaxing place to come home to.
Such good taste, I will use as my inspiration for my own home.
You’ve made my day! !!! I love it all!! Brian Gluckstein can do no wrong in my book, I love every single design decision he makes. The backyard of dreams, alas we live in Atlanta, where nearly every property is on a slope. Thanks again, keep the videos coming!!!!
Oh I love him this time. So natural and funny.
Love love love Brian Gluckenstein. He's so charming and brilliant.
Love Brian's style!
This is the perfect garden. The right amount of trees, beautiful pool and no unsightly lounge chairs! Great idea of using fake grass too.
It is by far one of the best video, I have ever come across on the web. A perfect amalgamation of nature and human being's love towards it. ❤

That's so lovely of you to say! Glad you enjoyed it.
Lovely, well thought out garden. Impressively balanced yin and yang. Not as easy to achieve as the finished product might indicate. Just beautiful!
It was lovely..exactly what I would do with the space. He seems delightful as well!
This is probably the most beautiful backyard you have ever showcased on your channel. The layout is great, the furnitures are amazing, and don’t forget the excellent taste of trees and plants. Oh, and those triple french doors with planters in between them are my absolute favourite.
Beautiful backyard, very relaxing place! 🌿😍🌼
I gaspped when i realise it was brians backyard. Happy place for sure.🌞🌞🌞🌞
A beautiful garden. So calm and soothing. A real sanctuary. I know that many people do not like artificial turf, but I use it in my garden because the grassed area is so small, it was not worth having a mower. When they first see it, no one believes it is fake. I bought one with longer "leaves", and deliberately did not make the subsurface level. As a result, when leaves have fallen on it as well, it does not look at all fake. There are small bumps and hollows, and from the house it looks like an average lawn. I keep a small offcut of the turf so show the doubters that it's not real.
Gorgeous, so peaceful. Love the fact there is no deck around the pool. It is great that on one side of the pool the trees keep their leafs in the winter. But I am sure the pool is covered from the fall so the leafs don't fall in the pool. Absolutely stunning backyard.
Brian seems very genuine and down to earth even in a fancy house and neighborhood.
Such a beautiful garden and I can picture that pool in my backyard!
It's beautiful but definitely still a home.
I love, love, love this. I would love a backyard just like this. And he isn't that far away from me!!!!
This backyard is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! 💦☀️🌳
Stunning garden, gorgeous house. Oh those trees too! Mature trees are not just a bonus but a requirement when house-hunting-- the rest I can design and build. But beautiful lush green trees....gorgeous. Love this garden and pool design.
Love this I've seen it a million times, looks beautiful and not too overdone and Brian is such a cutie.
That is so interesting about bringing the grass to the pool edge. Worked perfectly. Stunning.
TDK I am so impressed with Brian and ALL of his talents! What an absolutely beautiful human !!!
Now this is what I would do if I had the money. Cosy and intimate.
Really happy to see you after a long time maybe you’re always in but I don’t know where I was so it’s really pleasure to see you again Love your design and colour theme😍
Oh my god, this is absolutely (people's) dreaming backyard. Im lost word, this is beyond beautiful. Homey, comfort, and calming our soul! Hope i can built this mind of backyard soon. 🖤🖤🖤
That’s a gorgeous space. I’d endure inclement weather just for a few weeks of outdoor living amongst that landscape.
What an oasis! Using turf to get rid of the muck, perfect solution.
Absolutely stunning!
So beautiful and calming. I love it. Thank you Mr. Gluckstein for sharing it.
Love love love the garden, pool and using turf instead of grass! And love Brian’s sense of humor….the unexpected noise from the jet flying overhead was hilarious! In my mind, the time spent creating the meticulously perfect video and then the jet noise…I could not stop laughing ….not at Brian…. but the whole f--'n scenario! I could not stop laughing! The tears were streaming down my face…so thank you for a very hardy laugh this Sunday morning! I really needed that!
This is one of the best gardens ever. it's warm and personal yet not too small. Love it.
What a beautiful garden... so thought out and done with love and the designer is so lovely himself, so much personality.
Oh my god he is so lovely! And that back yard is exquisite
Goals ! Just inspirational 😍😍😍 can only imagine how gorgeous the home is inside
wow...Im in love with this man s home
Less hard, more soft. I'll say this to my interior designer next time.
Big trees are worth the extra effort. This yard is spectacular‼️🌳❤️
This is truly lovely....this is the 'everlasting home'....prima .
LOVE! The design and execution are fantastic and I really enjoyed the interview! :)
Gorgeous yard! 🥰It always amazes me when I dont see a pool fence around a pool - here in Australia its the law to have one!

Think it's the law in Canada too. But if his back yard is separated by the neibours by a fence which it probably is then it's okay.

Just the yard has to be fenced, but the fence has to be a certain height that is unclimbable.

YI know you left this years ago but I feel compelled to respond: The most tragic thing is how ugly pool fences are in Australia. When house hunting I would sneer and wince at all these hideous looking fences and feel like screaming at the computer screen, 'haven't you people seen what people abroad are doing with landscaping, garden design and pool fencing?!' There are a million ways of complying with the law and making an aesthetically appealing pool fence. I cannot understand this lack of imagination and such bad taste. I wonder if ugly fences irritate you too or if it's just me. 😂🙃
Love the houses vibe , they have nice ideas and smart ways to handle winter 🥶
Love it so much!! You are an awesome designer Brian! Admire all your work ❤️
This is so beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. Wow I am taken a back and out of breath.
i'm in love with this beautiful space!
Pure Delight. Love.
I just love love this place ❤️
Absolutely fabulous!
omg I love his vibe - so fabulous!!
Different and amazing!
Love this garden! So many good tips in this segment. I am going to steal the planter mix - love the white mandevilla with the purple underplanting.
This is simply beautiful. ♥️🌺🌸
Stunning! Love it!
wow this is exactly what I was looking for!!
Beautiful!!
What a beautiful garden. Love this more than the interior. Don't worry Brian, I am sure you could manage the bbq if needed, but it is not needed with Gary around. Lucky you.
It’s so beautiful
Lovely garden!
So beautiful !
i love it. i wish to have that kind of home soon.
its dreamy, beautiful 😍
So lovely! My dream pool!
I just love this guy
So beautiful
absolutely gorgeous backyard and garden and he's right most people go way too far and make their pools look like one of the millions you can see at a hotel
I like trees. In fall they shed a lot of leaves, but they always beautify your place.🌱🌳
Beautiful! I'd be out there all day!
I typically dislike swimming pools but I like how he explains this one is subtle in colour and blends into the environment. In fact, I like the way he explains everything ☺️
My dream garden for sure!
Love it!
Gorgeous
Stunning! 👏👏👏
Love it! Awesome designer
Loved !😍
Beautiful garden

They have videos under the H&H homebound series. It interweaves with personal phone videos and professional videos/pictures of the interior cause it’s done during pandemic but it’s still lovely to see. The series features a lot of designers. I only watched his second floor one but I plan to watch all of them as I have the time. His bathroom and library are a dream.

Ok. He is the best! 👑
Amazing!
This couple is absolutely brilliant and I love how talented they are in designing such beautiful garden .... WOW! Show stopper xoxoxo
I love it 😍
Brilliant to run the grass right up to the pool edging. Reminds me of a French garden water feature. What? No plastic slide on the side? Lol. Great design. Beautiful!
Pretty garden...💚
Elegance ❤️❤️❤️
He’s a hoot and has great taste!
Beautiful house
Love it! Sad about the grass but what must be must be. I wonder if he has any dogs? They must love that place. He's given me an idea about lemon trees against a trellis.
I did grow up in such a House Wien i was kids.
Genius idea so you dont have to water the plants. It’s a beautiful garden!
It is soooo beautiful! Would be nice if we can tour inside
The garden is as beautiful as the interior #cityoasis
He is so cute!!
oh i love your house i love your garden i love the pool and above all i love your joie de vivre. if you could only be my friend that would be the icing on the cake. but do enjoy your house. you deserve it. thanks for sharing
I’m a big fan and this backyard is amazing! I like the turf idea! Keeps grass out of the pool, too. I’d love to know how you winter the palms and the citrus trees.
I love him
