1920’s garden makeover - 3 year timelapse!
Переглядів 548,390
День томуI want to bring you all up to speed with our garden renovation over the last 3 years. When we bought this house the garden was overgrown and full of invasive plants such as snowberries and bindweed. It’s been a lot of work but we’ve finally broken the back of it. We now have a blank canvas ready for growing our own veg and lots of planting in Spring. More about that next time.
Here's some of the products I'm using:

Love the work . Great work done by you and the missus mate . Two tips for you from a cranky old bugger who has spent a lot of time on the tools . Buy long handles , length gets leverage and saves the back . Only buy wooden handles , you can hear them groan when they reach maximum load . Metal and fibreglass just leave you on your butt wondering what happened when they give , you get no warning . Loved it when the fork broke , you looked like you just lost a friend 😂

Pretty good for amateurs! My Brit friends moved to Canada, and were horrified to see huge signs everywhere saying "SOD" in massive letters with big arrows. We had to let them know that sod was the word for pre-grown rolls of lawn that you could lay like carpet, rather than seeding. Their relief was palpable.
@bravo2966 Місяць тому
Strange, cos it's called sod here in England too. Though it does also double as a minor insult, "don't be such a silly sod" about the equivalent of calling someone a silly sausage or a cheeky monkey.

@carolinegreenwell9086 3 місяці тому
It was a bit of a shock to see the original garden because I've become so used to seeing it as it is recently. I've followed your house renovation from the beginning and came here from there. I hope you and your wife are proud of all you've achieved. Retrospective videos like this put it all into perspective.

Thank you so much! I need to do a similar one for the main renovation on the GH channel and it's taking forever! 😂

Wanted to say I enjoyed watching you carefully break up soil clods and cover the new plants as you put them into the ground- my father always said you could tell a man who respects and loves the earth by how he reverences the growing process and helps the plants to take root and thrive-- he handled planting like this himself-- nice to see a man of the earth-- thank you and I am having a warm, happy memory as I write this-- bye

Hey Andy, I came here from your Gosforth handyman channel, and enjoy them both equally. Seeing the transformation that you and Mrs Mac have achieved, is stunning and inspiring, I imagine many people would have seen that garden, and walked away. All credit to you both, for having the vision, to see through the brambles and bindweed, to create a such a beautiful place to live.

What you did to the House you did the same with your Garden ! So beautiful and what a transformation ! Now you can enjoy this amazing Garden in the summer and the view from the House to this Garden is like a picture ! But what we in Holland always saying: Leave the Gardening to the Brits, they are the best !!! Love this video and thanks for sharing !!

Wonderful.l work. The greenhouse reminded me of my mother, a very keen gardener (as my father) in Newcastle - as well as the garden at home not far from this, she also had an allotment. In 1969 her last baby died at 21 days, my sister. My father bought her a new replacement greenhouse for the rotten one that came with their house - nothing of course replaces a baby, but it gave her so much pleasure and stood until she died in 2004 (when it was replaced by decking). It is good to see Newcastle gardening continuing.....Nothing like being in touch with the soil to keep people happy and healthy.

Aww, can’t say I’m not disappointed that the enchanted garden vibe was completely lost to overly manicured. Such a lot of work and must be satisfying but kind of looks like every other suburban garden now

@rockyrowlands3652 2 місяці тому
Can relate to this as I am in the process of a major garden renovation. Wet and muddy ground, need several wheelbarrows and family hands on deck, seeing transformation coming along slowly, and at times thinking will I ever get through this. But each day’s worth of work and graft keeps you going in the right direction. Then you start to see your vision come alive.
@littleredsubmarine Місяць тому
“Extremely amateur gardening project”. Amateur? You literally did everything yourselves! This is not amateur. The patience, love and care. You must be both so satisfied with the end result. It’s beautiful. I appreciate this is likely in addition to a full time job and the English weather.

In a different league in so many ways to the so-called "garden makeover" dirge they churn out on daytime TV. Awesome respect to you, did something along similar lines in my much more modest sized plot 25 years ago, loved every minute of it.
@d.k.s.4057 2 місяці тому
Wonderful! And the music is lovely... I know this was a great deal of hard work and skill over time, but the time lapse and whimsical instrumental accompaniment made it rather dreamy and surreal! Great choice of combining all the features- splendid editing as well. new subscriber today-- came upon this as a suggestion from UKposts and I am so happy to "find" you-- until next time, good day!

Beautiful transformation, must be a welcome relief from the work on the house. One plea, when planting anything with bamboo supports please please put something on the end of the cane , you can buy them or drilled wine corks work perfectly. Many A&E doctors and opthalmolagists have seen horrific eye injuries from people bending down and not seeing the end of the cane until too late, so easily done and its life changing. Keep up the inspiring work

New to the channel, found it thru your other channel which popped up on my feed tonight. I’m a fan of Timelapse’s, the house and garden were awesome. I moved onto 11 acres almost four years ago and I so happy I only had a bit to actually renovate…the barn was one of them. It’s been fantastic living on a little farm. I love your property.

Very smart move Andy, getting the back yard sorted out before the extension is done allowing machinery access ect. I can't wait to see what you do up next to the rive Andy, that area is going to be soooo relaxing.
@raytaaffe6588 Місяць тому
I just watched the house renovation AND this garden renovation, and you've done a fantastic job on both! The lady of the house usually just makes the odd cup of tea while the man nearly kills himself doing all the REAL work, and at the end the lady says, 'WE did it all'...yer, right! However, the lady here really got stuck in and also seemed to enjoy herself, so much respect to her too. You also have the river at the bottom of your wonderful garden, which is a huge bonus in my view, so long as it doesn't flood, but I'm sure you've thought of that, as you have great all round skills and knowledge. You also seem like a really nice down to earth guy. I wish you both much happiness in your new VERY SPECIAL home.

Excellent video Andy, lots of hard work but well worth it in the end. The final clip of the snow covering all your work reminded me of an old lad who stayed in our village in Scotland. He was no gardner but always professed his garden looked every bit as nice as his neighbours (immaculate) garden when it snowed😂😂

@ninareeves2995 Місяць тому
Love the Timelapse extension build and now the garden. Hope you won’t regret the laurels….they spread like mad, don’t provide flower/fruit colour/interest or good food and nesting areas for birds and are problematic to prune/clip as you end up cutting their large leaves which then discolour…..add to all that they are poisonous to children/animals! My next door had them all down the side but after a couple of years he took them out and planted yew (also poisonous!) which, although unremitting green, does have the advantage of being a dense hedge suitable for nesting for small birds which the magpies can’t get into! There are loads of other possibilities for hedging which give colour/interest and you can layer some of them (take a stem, plonk it in the ground and it will root) so you don’t need to break the bank by buying hundreds of plants! Keep up the good work….lovely to see a 1920s house brought up to date by an excellent craftsman😅
