⁉️🍃⁉️ GRAVEL DECK garden design|| Linda Watt
⁉️🍃⁉️ Instead of walking around on Wednesday, I am doing a Wednesday? Many of you have asked about my gravel deck area. How is it installed, what is the inspiration for the design, and how does it live? Especially for new fans, this video answers all these questions. By the way, in order to maintain it, all I did was blow off the leaves with a blower. Just skip the surface. Few weeds pass through the gravel, it is a cell… One of the reasons is that there is a layer of broken gravel underneath… If the weeds do penetrate, they are easy to remove! When I add gravel in some places, I will get it from Lowe’s bag…it is called Earth Nature.

Your outdoor spaces look amazing, thanks for the tours. I live on Granite Mountain outside of Prescott, AZ. Landscaping is mostly naturalized with a lot of decomposed granite (when in Rome), flagstone and lava rock. Next landscaping project is to complete pavers on the circular driveway and redistribution of gravel from driveway to path and hardscape around astronomical observatory. Thanks for inspiration to replant planters and add in a bird bath.
You would look good in anything Linda!
Off subject, I love your shirt, top, blouse whatever you call it!
I have an old metal headboard and I am going to plant clematis and hopefully it will climb!
Thank you so much for sharing your most lovely Garden.
I always have to deal with weeds!!! lol I'm a new follower also. Very interesting to see how you have created your garden rooms. I'm in central Kentucky.
After a wet, cool spring and 3 weeks of rain (which we will wish we had come August) we have 4 days of lovely weather before the expected tropical depression dumps several more inches of rain this weekend.
I am mowing my lawn today and putting in the last of the annuals. I have been potting things in every container I can find just to get things into some soil. At least my bagged potting mix is not soggy.
Weeding!!!
Would be good to camoflague utility boxes next to door
My first major tackle will be replacing all the drowned lambs ears with stokesia…did not realize that part of my yard was so swampy until the 9 straight days of rain!!! Lost 3 Russian Sage plants 🙁
AMEN, PEGGIE …I'm doing the same, but am a young 71!!
Goodwill awesome
It looks awesome
Well, it finally quit raining north of Houston since Saturday. My gravel terrace is full of weeds that I need to get rid of but the onslaught of the mosquitos makes it hard. They are terrible, luckily they don't bite me as they do my husband. The rain gave the weeks so much strength. Have to tackle that first but the humid heat is settling in on the Gulf Coast. That's just our summer!
Thanks as always for sharing your garden!!
I just bought some lovely Japanese soft touch holly shrubs and I can’t wait to get them in the ground. They are a bright emerald green and just what my landscape needs. I garden in zone 7b in Lexington, NC and I’ve learned so much from you. I wish you much success with your QVC line!
Love! Love! LOVE!!!
Crazy rain, June 9th and planting flowers and mulching between rain drops. Ohio weather not cooperating right now.
We are building a retaining wall in the front yard
I really enjoy your video's. I am actually tackling a pea gravel project in our back yard. I am mulching around the back where the plants and trees are, they are already mulched but a refresh and then in the center of the yard we have a raised pond and I am adding stepping stones and pea gravel to the main area of the back yard. Loving the way it looks so far. Hope mine looks as great as yours. Can I ask you??? what do you do about weeds in the pea gravel? pull or spray with weed killer? I am worried about that part*
dee
I have been weeding and planting plants in between rain and hot sun. Rain the last few days. 80s by the weekend here in Oregon. Hoping this weekend to stain my back porch..
Love the gravel ❣
Your garden is so beautiful and Inspirationsl
First project for me once the weather calms down is ripping up the old paver pathway and laying down gravel
I'm in Southern Arizona, ssoo when the weather cools I need to widen my drainage ditches. They've been in for about 8 years. They tend to collect leaves and so they need to be wider for maintenance. Because we've had less rain its also whats called a rain garden here.
The bigger plants can reach into the area for water.
Question, the spiraling shrub behind you when you were describing your outfits, is that a euonymus? Did you trim it that way, and if you did, how did you do it? Thank you.
Hi, first time here. Your wardrobe stood out to me. In addition, love your haircut also. I love blouse similar to your style; tunics. Great video
Finally warm enough to take all the geraniums out of the greenhouse!
It is a dream design and very nice imagination ideas on a spot of the Earth. Taha M. Muhammad
I’m fighting bugs…they ate my zinnias to just a stem, black spots on my roses and peonies, little hard black bugs on my sunflowers along with my Mullion has bitty spots down in the leaves along with some striped beetles running around…..I sprayed with Neem oil but I wonder if this will help…..my tomatoes and cucumbers in the greenhouse are doing very well, makes me wish I built one larger then 10 x 20.
Have any good solutions….
Here in N M we are in the Monsoon Season Wind still Blowing.Temps will be in the 90 s all Week.
Truly enjoy your videos! Thank you from Linda in southern NJ.
Linda, you have inspired several landscaping touches to my garden rooms. In the courtyard I realized my brick steps needed a handrail. As I age, I need that added security when winter makes the steps icy. I found an iron worker in Williamsburg who crafted a gorgeous curvy handrail in bronze with a pine cone finial. My courtyard houses a half dozen topiary, thanks to your tutelage as well.
Now that the drought here in SE VA has broken, time to put coneflowers in the sun garden.
Plants have gotten so big that I need to prune them back. We are getting so much rain in Plano Tx that our house has been flooding.
Best video on gravel for residential areas that I've seen so far. THANKS!!
We live on a hill in the midst of 40 acres. Lots of wildlife. So mostly deer resistant choices originally. Our home was landscaped when built 30 years ago. Early on, we had country gardens but gave up gardening for a number of reasons. In March 2020 a late freeze destroyed an area outside our sunroom/screen porch, and now it demands restoration. The first thing I did, when the weather warmed, was to plan a small culinary herb garden with a few perennials. Most of the flowers I chose have nostalgic reasons, …they were ones my grandmother grew, or other reasons meaningful to me. The larger 8-10 portion is still bare. Decisions impending. The previous planting included a service berry and 2 holly bushes, with periwinkle. The birds liked it. I have considered a small patio, or something similar to original. The house is cedar.
That is my favorite area of your yard. It’s just beautiful!
I love your yard and style I’m from the PNW specifically Eastern Washington. We are very dry and windy this year. My garden looks great because I have a sprinkler system. I’m currently weeding, mulching, planting, and trimming. I’m in a destructive mood this year and have removed 2 small trees, asters, Shasta daisies and mint that has worn out its welcome
Yes! It really harmonizes with, and frames the house. Good choice.
(As you were standing by the black obelisk by the fence, I thought –
'wouldn't a smaller, ornamental tree look good right about there?')
* I started planting out my Dahlia plants into the cutting garden,
and will continue doing so tomorrow.
