Finishing Touches On A HUGE Backyard Transformation!

What happens here

Prepare the plant beds by removing any debris and loosening the soil. Arrange the potted plants, including 'Liriope' and other deer-resistant shrubs, in their desired locations within the beds. Dig holes for each plant, ensuring they are wide and deep enough to accommodate the root ball. Carefully remove each plant from its pot and place it in the hole, backfilling with soil and gently tamping down. Water thoroughly after planting.

Goal: Enhance the aesthetic appeal of the outdoor space with new plantings.

What they say

Hide

Hose or hammer? Heck yeah. Plants. You know what that means? Means we're getting pretty close. So, I'll show you what we got. Final touches here, and little piece of advice for you. If you're not like a plant person, or you just don't have a lot of knowledge about plants, best thing to do, and I'm by no means an expert on plants, best thing to do, what I just did, uh you know, go in with an idea of what you want to put where, have measurements of your beds, all that good stuff, and then go to a local nursery, uh you know, talk over your plan with somebody that works there that knows about all the plants, and they're going to guide you in the right direction. So, here. Deer resistance is a top priority. Uh deer will jump over that back fence and come in and eat stuff. So, uh we kind of led with that and worked around and we kind of worked around what the deer were not going to eat. So, uh got a bunch of plants here, and you'll see where they go, and we'll walk you through it. This is Liriope. Love this. Stays small, compact, uh has some nice little flowers on it, but uh it fills out beautifully. Looks good with lighting. All these little wisps, I love grasses for that reason. So, we got a couple of those. But uh yeah, get them in.
