My FAVORITE Backyard Feature Yet! Custom Light Wall

What happens here

The project concludes with the planting of various landscaping elements around the patio. This includes rows of ornamental grass (dwarf fountain grass) along the house and a limelight hydrangea tree for a focal point. Additionally, viburnum plants are used to create a hedge, and Miss Kim lilac bushes are planted for their fragrant blooms, adding visual interest, privacy, and an inviting atmosphere to the completed outdoor living space.

Goal: Complete the outdoor space with diverse plantings.

What they say

[Music] [Applause] [Music] Tell them you picked out the plants. Tell people what it's all about. We went with a row of ornamental grasses. Hopefully, they won't get too much bigger. They shouldn't. They're dwarves. Can you say that? Yeah. They're dwarves. They're not going to get much bigger, so they'll just gently cascade over the pavers, but not impede the walkway. And then over here, we get straight to the creme de la creme. This little hydrangeanger tree. I think it's called a limelight hydrangeanger tree. We use limelight hydrangeas constantly, but we never put it in a tree. And I think that this is the perfect focal point. It adds some height. It adds some interest with its flowering blooms. And the leaves are good enough looking that it's like just a great tree by itself. So, I'm super happy with this. We haven't picked out what's going to go here yet, but we wanted to get this in its place to see before we decided what was going to go in the rest of this bed. But now that I see it here, I'm obsessed. I love it. Sean, do you love it? I love it. I definitely Jose, do you love it? Love it. He loves it, too. It's great. We got more of the ornamental fountain dwarf grasses. We have a row of viburnum which will look like just a little like that. That's going to create a nice little hedge across the back to add a little bit of sense of privacy. And then this is a Miss Kim lilac which they smell so lovely. This is already bloomed for the year. Little peek kid. But uh we're going to get some more plants over here. We're going to do arborvite. So, it creates a backdrop for the light wall. And then I got to figure out what's going to go in this bed over here. So, stay tuned for that. All right, we're
