I am loving watching your projects, so inspired and energized by your progress. I'm concerned though for you when I see you working in lightweight shoes. I'm on a farm so my heavy duty work boots and long pants are the preferred uniform here in Australia. A friend damaged her foot by digging holes with a shovel, jumping on it like I saw you do and not wearing sturdy boots. Just a thought. I'd hate to see you with a long term injury. Thanks for sharing your work, family (including animals) and beautiful property.

I was thinking, what if you didn't go with having two brick paths running parallel to each other but instead of remaking that concrete path into a new brick path you made that garden area. Then, somehow make a new path from the car park area over to the brick path that already runs up to the kitchen door? It probably is too much work to move the boxwoods and I see the water boxes are right there too. Just a thought. I am so excited to see how this is all going to look in the end.

Who needs a skid-steer with a 36 auger when you have a Laura? LOL. You sure made a quick job of planting that birch tree! You go, girl! Watching all of the demolition is absolutely fascinating, and a learning experience as to what is entailed in a project like the one you are undertaking. Seeing the entire process from start to finish makes one truly appreciate what went into the end result. Thank you for being such a blessing in my life.

Laura, do you honest and truly have as much energy as you show? I feel you do. How do you stay motivated? We recently moved into a new house and this will be our first summer making it our own. It already has a good layout with some mature plants we plan on keeping. Is it best to start out with good overall maintenance of the property and just focus on making changes to one section at a time?

How exciting! I was so sad about the butterfly garden, but I'm also happy about the beautiful floral arrangement that came out of it. Can't wait for the overall journey on the landscape. The sooner the trench is done, the sooner we can get to the completion of the Hartley. By the way, will you guys be redesigning or creating a designated parking spot for the vehicles?

Wow! The area is already looking a ton better without the brick patio, and I'm sure you'll be happy to be rid of the (aging) concrete pathway. Amazing to see how delicate Chad were handling the big equipment. Yes, some things got trampled, but when removing the concrete pathway, he was so careful not to disturb the flowerbeds/trees around it! Loved to see it, well done!

Im sure theres a video, but have you had to remove a tree thats been established for a few years? If you have did you remove it yourself or hire/ rent a heavy machine? I have two cherry blossom trees that are about 7ft tall and Im just not content with their location and dont know how to go about moving them. Im also afraid I could cause more damage by moving them

Wow Oh Wow! I am so excited to see what you have planned. I know it will be gorgeous but I cant help feeling anxiety along with you. What a beautiful video of you Laura picking the tulips out of Benjamins butterfly garden. A sweet homage to say farewell and to create some beautiful new memories.

Benjamins butterfly garden is going to look so precious out in the cut flower garden, and once you have all of the old concrete taken out and new brick walkway put in it will look amazing. Did you not plan on saving the rows of lavender or will they come back after being crushed?
