What happens here
The final step involves populating the newly defined planting beds with a variety of plants. The narrator mentions that 'all plants are going in right now' and the video shows small potted plants placed in the beds, ready for planting. This involves preparing the soil by amending it with compost or appropriate fertilizers, carefully removing plants from their nursery pots, and planting them at the correct depth and spacing. Once planted, the beds are typically covered with mulch, rock, or other groundcover for moisture retention, weed suppression, and aesthetic appeal. The video concludes by crediting the workers for making the 'job site look good', emphasizing the overall completion and success of the landscaping transformation.
Goal: Install new plants and apply groundcover to complete the landscaped areas.
