I used a towel to drag 50lb bags of rock through my yard yesterday and I looked like Laura digging that red bud!! I can relate to the struggle, cause the struggle is real!!

I love how Benjamin comes out and just seems to instinctively start helping. The new bed is going to be fabulous, thanks for a great video to start the week. Going to reach 80 here, just outside of Detroit and you know I will be out everyday!

You taking out that Red bud was so endearing OK, entertaining! You need some sort of You Tube award for that. Really should be saved for the blooper roll. I just LOVE watching your videos!

You definitely got your stretches and exercises in with that Redbud. Maybe add a little mulch around it to help hold moisture. That way you could see it better and less chance of somebody running over it out there all by itself!!! Such a fun memory to have of playing in the trenches! That looked like a lot of fun. Benjamin is such a great little helper. He’s always helping Momma with whatever she’s doing. I think that is wonderful and he’s learning so much. Everything is looking good even in the phase of tearing it up. It’s getting there. So excited for y’all. Thanks for taking us along to enjoy the process. ☀️🌿 Have a great week everyone!

Can't wait to see all your hard work pay off.

Yay Laura! Your vision is coming together! You and Aaron will bounce ideas off each other and come up with an amazing garden space!

I loved watching you and Benjamin picking up the rocks. Such a simple thing. You would both pick up rocks and then hold him gently while the tractor moved. Such a sweet, protective gesture to keep him safe. ♥️ Your videos are the best. Thank you for sharing with us.

I love seeing your family. Benjamin and Aaron running through the trenches and Benjamin helping with the rocks. Aaron is always willing to stop what he’s doing and help you with a project. Y’all have such a strong work ethic. Benjamin and baby girl are lucky to grow up in such an environment. Thanks Aaron’s sister for watching the kids today!

It was so cute to watch Benjamin helping you pick up rocks! He’s your little helper! I can tell he loves helping. And I felt for you when you were trying to dig up that red bud tree! What a beast of a root ball system it had!

i put a few daffodils to "mark" lines, pet graves, anything i want a reminder not to dig, but doesn't interfere with the lines. they're gone by mowing time, but refreshes my memory of the undergrounds. i am really enjoying all the upgrades yall are doing to the property. inspires me to go outside and DO SOMEthing!!!

The amount of stuff you get done is so impressive. This would be at least two full weekends for work for me. And I’d be laying on the ground crying by the end of it 😂

Greetings from Windermere, Florida zone 9b I admire you and Aaron forming a TEAM LABOUTTIERRE. My husband and I owned a florist and later on a farm and orchard. Rick was logistics and I was creative and workhorse. I did a lot of heavy work and asked for help when I needed. Rick isn't naturally creative, but he added input. We had defined roles, but helped each other. We were very successful. You two are amazing and doing so well. We are still pursuing our own passions with YT channels, but just for fun! Happy April Success 🌿💚🌿

Laura just inspires us all to “ get after it!”! Thanks Laura!

I love how you're so independent and just go for it. 😊 Just be careful how much you do. Cuz I always did whatever I wanted, a lot of times to prove I could, and now my body is broken. I'm suffering the consequences. 🥺

Oh. my .lanta! I SO remember how contankerously difficult digging up redbud trees can be. ( I'm pushing 60 now) those days of struggle were back in my youth.😂 I'm watching this video while resting from a simple transplanting of some pots into the ground!!😂 Old age and arthritis creeps up and hits you in the joints eventually. Ugh. Creatively...I understand how you come to your design process. It makes perfect sense. I honestly didn't get lost through your walk today at all. I'm seeing such amazing vision. Yes! Aaron's foresight with infrastructure...WHAT a blessing!!! (And loads of fun for Benjamin) Girl...you're living the life👍❤️ God bless you guys!

Laura vs. Red Bud! 🏝 Laura, you are such a great example of determination and perseverance. After all that struggle with the Red Bud I would have been ! However, you went on to dig out another tree, re-plant the trees, move rocks and spread mulch. WTG Laura! Your energy level truly amazes me! 💚

Watching you wrestle with that redbud was hilarious.🤣

Laura....the gal full of determination. That is why they have such an amazing yard! Well right now a yard under construction! It’s going to be beautiful again. It will be a treat to see it all finished. In the mean time we will enjoy the process and more of Laura doing what she does best!,

Looking lovely this morning, as always! I love your long hair and am so glad you don’t tie it back into a pony tail. My question: Do you partner with Unique Stone. I need a new wall fountain and, due entirely to Garden Answer, I immediately went to the Unique Stone website. Turns out I have a local dealer (woohoo!).

I live on Long Island in NY on a simple postage stamp piece of property but have applied all that you have taught me in this last couple years to create one amazing garden that is the envy of my neighborhood! Thank you so much Laura ! I feel blessed for having found your channel.

You are such an inspiration 🥰 so humble and modest, and the way you handled that mulch. Haha! I have never driven a tractor, that would be so intimidating at first. Way to go. I’m sure you grew up driving them though. So no biggie for you now. The tree placement looks great and the path idea sounds wonderful and cohesive to the rest of the plan. The more I watch and see the transformation the easier it is to see your vision. 😃

The first shot of Laura planting the redbud... The surrounding area looks massive and overwhelming!! But we all know ,if anyone can do it ... Laura can!!!😄😄 Laura , for those days when you get overwhelmed, remember you have a whole community cheering you on . Also I hope you have time to enjoy the process!😃 It will be beautiful and worth it all in the end .
