Our Weeping Japanese Maple Outgrew Its Bed | Flower Bed Expansion

While the grass is dormant, we’re extending the flower bed along the back of the house—and the main reason is to protect our Weeping Japanese Maple. As the tree has grown, the original bed no longer gives it enough space, putting it at risk from the mower and weed eater. This flower bed expansion also gives us room to add more annuals in spring, since our shrubs have matured over the years. In this video, I walk through the planning and prep process step by step, including: 🌿 Creating a visual plan using the Garden Puzzle App 🌿 Laying out the new bed shape with a water hose & landscape paint 🌿 Cutting a crisp edge with a moon shovel 🌿 Removing sod and suppressing weeds with cardboard 🌿 Topping everything with fresh soil We’ll keep the area moist until it’s time to plant annuals in April, and this project also sets us up for a future drip irrigation update, so stay tuned for that video. If you’re dealing with an overgrown tree, expanding a garden bed, or planning ahead for spring planting, I hope this gives you ideas and confidence to tackle your own garden projects. 🌱 Thanks for gardening along with me—don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share your garden plans in the comments!
