GoodTimesWithScar – Minecraft Tutorial: Garden Landscape with Custom Trees And Lawn (Modern House Build Ep. 23)

Well hello there my fellow miners and crafters good time so Skaar here bringing you another creative fun time episode Skaar as we continue to build this amazing modern house and in today’s episode we’re going to lay down the sod and plant some flowers and trees and make all sorts rather cool and awesome

Garden designs so let’s get this episode underway alright and welcome back to a creative fun time episode and one quick change we’ve made to this pathway between episodes was just I added a little variation in different stones like here’s a little smooth and here’s a little bit of whatever they call that

Block and yeah so we got that in there it looks pretty darn cool we got a pathway and now it is time to lay the sod and get all those things all sorted out but before we do that we’re gonna fly on up over here and take a look at

Our backyard so I’ve been planning out the backyard and what I want to do is kind of make a real nice kind of a blowing pool along here kind of some organic shapes instead of like kind of the different modern box shapes that we’ve made in the past so I’m gonna try

Something a little bit different and another thing I want to do some type of sporting thing so I’m thinking maybe a basketball chord or a tennis court of some kind over here I know in the constant last video a lot of people wanted a football court but I don’t know

If we have a quite enough room to make an entire football court another thing I came up with back here is it would be cool if we could do a meandering path through some gardens and stuff to here well maybe we could do just a little fishing dock back here wouldn’t that be

The coolest house no now follow me here if you had that in your backyard don’t tell me that wouldn’t be awesome because that would be totally cool another thing I was thinking of along with the pool that we are going to build maybe a small

Lap pool I think that might be a kind of fun idea alright so we’re going to get started here and we’re going to get out our lime stained clay and then we’re going to get out our greens named clay and we are laying the sod look at that

Here we go so we’re getting stuff done right away here and we’re starting to lay down the sod for our house and what we’re going to do once we get this all kind of laid out we are going to make some olive trees and because when I’m

Looking at this house I kind of picture I say this in the first episode I pictured this house to be a house maybe that somebody if they were in the real world they might be like a tech executive because this is a house of somebody with

Great means and I would assume you know this is kind of a a nice house so if somebody maybe of a tech executive maybe in the Silicon Valley of California you know where all of the tech companies live and so I’m thinking so in that area

There’s a lot of oak trees and a lot of people plant all the trees because that’s kind of the cool thing around there so we’re going to plant two olive trees flanking the entrance to the house and then on these anchor points of the front yard we are going to plant oak

Trees what we’re going to do you know minecraft has my voice I’m apologize is still bad um we are going to plan but oak trees but we’re not just gonna make standard minecraft oak trees and of course not we are going to make scar oak trees so we’re going to make some custom

Trees there that should be pretty darn awesome and this is amazing how fast this is I love playing in survival and I think it’s more rewarding and but it is fun sometimes to play in great of mode to you know try to push the boundaries a

Little bit and it’s quite a bit easier but I still love my survival builds in worlds because there’s just something great about it you know when you look at you’re like you know I could tell you where those blocks that I used to build that came from and you know that’s what

I love them I love the two game modes and so I wanted to incorporate two different series into my channel here we go alright almost getting this done so yeah talking a little bit more about the lap pool idea back a long time ago back when we were actually designing the tree farm

On it was a little bit before the summer games of 2012 in London and I’ve been a storm my entire life a very competitive swimmer and you know I get excited when the summer games come along because it is the only time that something ever gets any recognition and with Michael

Phelps doing the amazing things he’s done for the last couple Olympics I wanted to build an Olympic sized swimming pool in Scotland and I got an idea and I went quickly into a creative world and jotted down just a kind of a basic design of it it was I have a creative

World that I like to use it’s kind of like a notepad or a sketchbook if I get kind of a cool idea I like to run in there real quick and just build it up build just a quick little design if it’s just so I don’t forget it you know if we

Want to build something like that in a future build of some kind I highly recommend anyone do that and let me know if you guys do that too if you have a world like you get an idea and you’re like I don’t have any time to build it

All the way out or I might want to build it in a survival world but I don’t want to forget it until I get you know the resources and stuff so I would recommend building a little world that you could go into and just jot down an idea for a

Bed or maybe half a part of a house so you don’t forget that particular design and what I did was I built this really kind of a cool Olympic sized swimming pool just about half of it and I was going to do it for the Olympics but

Unfortunately in 2012 I was in the hospital during the entire Olympic Games so I had never got to do that unfortunately kind of a bummer definitely a bummer okay so what we’re doing here is we’re taking this wood here and this is nice because it has the

Light Gray’s and as you can see there and we’re also going to take the birch leaves this is the closest I can come up with make an olive tree so that’s pretty cool but this is kind of a manicured of olive tree maybe not something that would actually like you would see you’d

You know kind of naturally growing out but something that’s something they plant in their yard in California which is very popular so we’re just kind of filling these in a little bit and this is really fun I love making trees I love making trees doing this in survival on

Scar land where we’ve done the terraforming project takes hours and hours but in here we can get something out pretty quick so I think we can get a nice design so trying to keep things somewhat looking like maybe that a professional gardeners kind of kept this

Thing going you know make it a nice shape and everything but not making it a complete box so just something you know nicely trimmed up a little bit there we go just getting that out there a little bit I think that is going to look nice you know let’s see

All right so this parts a little bit funny so when you’re doing this just kind of play around with it a little bit try to find what you like and yeah so as you can see I am going to continue to finish this up a little bit let me catch

My breath and I’ll be right back alright welcome back so there’s our trees up there there’s our little olive trees built up there and I think they look pretty cool you know they’re not you know perfectly symmetrical they look like they’re just like kind of a natural but well-maintained tree pretty darn

Cool ok so I threw together a quick oak tree over here just kind of a nice little tree built up here I decided to go with the darker wood here just to distinguish itself from the forest that built itself up out there I’m thinking about taking that big tree down there

What do you think should I take some of that down a little bit I think it overshadows this area so I’m thinking about getting rid of that okay so let’s start another one over here and this one kind of leans a little bit I’m thinking about maybe making it lean a little less

So this one’s a little bit more a little more stout if you will I don’t know I don’t even know what that means okay so let’s see here I want this one to be a little bit more even if you will how about that and sort of stout not exactly

Sure what that needs okay there we go try to decide you know kind of on the way how it goes so when you’re doing this just kind of play around with it you don’t want it to be symmetrical and all perfect you want to have a little

Bit of life a little character to it has some branches growing out here there once you get to this point here I think it’s a good point to start to add some leaves and then you can always come back and you know add a root system below and

Add a little here bring this down or up or add a little extra to the back but that’s good at this point here is to start to add some leaves and start to get a little bit of design going for the tree and we’ve got a lot of this brush

Out here I do want to take out than that okay let’s just start kind of following it up here a little bit come down a little bit zoom in a little yeah so I love making trees I’ve been making custom trees since very first garland episode when I

Was like you know I can make this world look a little bit different from the rest of my other tries of making stuff was so let’s let’s click on the landscape too and I think it’s actually a huge part of the good looks of scar land too is working on the landscape I

Think a lot of people discount their landscapes a little bit and you know they’ve got build a beautiful building or house or something along those line but sometimes people forget the landscape it’s a very important part in the design of your house is to try to

Find something you know build up a nice design landscape on the outside because it really helps complement house makes the house look like a part of the world instead of just look like an alien just dropped it on your world and I picture a guy what was that old game on the ps2

You were eight you’re an alien and you were in like the 1960s and what’s that game called but you had this uh like tractor beam on the bottom and you could pick up cars and different things like that and like roam around so I’m just pictured that like we just got a

Little flying saucer came down picked up the house and dropped it here but when you start to add the landscape now it looks like it’s now part of the world part of the landscape of the world so whenever you see maybe a building being built in the real world or maybe even to

Disneyland ride being constructed they always look a little out of place tell the landscape comes in once you add a landscape to it it really softens up the building and makes it feel like it’s part of the landscape okay that’s starting to come out pretty good I’m just trying to add some low-hanging

Branches kind of coming out here is there it’s also a good idea to add some branches that look like they’re flowing in the wind so we’ll get to that in a second so give me a few more seconds let me continue to kind of add some branches here you know be red

And welcome back so let’s pop on over here and as you can see that looks pretty good I think that looks pretty good so one thing we can do too is make it look like so something was kind of blowing in the wind you can kind of add you know look around

For places that you can kind of stick branch here like that you know just find what errors you like and then you can make it look like it’s kind of blowing in the wind a little bit looks pretty cool let’s try something to do like that there we go just add a

Little extra movement to it I think that’ll look pretty cool alright so heading on over here we can see we could need a little bit of extra color so I want to just throw in maybe you know let me sleep one guy in there and maybe you

Back here but just stick a few extra little flowers in there just to brighten it up add a little extra color into that area and let’s just add a few extra plants here um what can we get away with over here you know what I think we can

Get away with is not breaking our house but adding an extra layer of this here there we go looks nice and then we’ll just take one of our big phones and planted the legs so there we go and then let’s add a few bushes along here excuse

Me mr. skeleton need you to move out of the way thank you thank you very much and then just kind of plant these guys around here a little bit like so um you know what you know what here’s the wolf where’s the wolf where’s the wolf it’s

Time for the wolf Hey look at him go let him go oh that’s some Yahoo those things are vicious oh that’s so mean he was in our way he was in our way alright so we’re gonna add some some bushes along here just randomly putting them down a little

Bit there we go goes in there that’s so bad so just stick some of these guys like so and then that I’ll just kind of make a nice little plant design along here do the same here add a few in the back along there nice I like it and then

We can add a few little tulips here okay like so and then you know just just add these in around Adam as you please I’m trying to make kind of you know not a fully symmetrical kind of design just a nice nice little garden here it’s a

Nice little garden with a few flowers here or there if you will maybe even just a happy little flower there we go great Bob Ross preferences you can stick a few different plant types in here and there makes it look nice okay I think that looks pretty good so far yeah I

Like that and then now we can just continue this along here all right I think this is going to look very very cool when it’s all said and done I think it’s a really nice kind of flower design in here we have so many amazing flower types nowadays maybe when we were first

Making minecraft videos well we had was the yellow and the red flower now look at us look at all the possibilities we do have nowadays that’s amazing some of those guys maybe maybe just a nice fern right nice nice those guys back there I don’t know maybe this these these guys

Don’t look that great maybe we’ll see look maybe like there’s some weeds growing in our garden over here there we go yeah like that pick you over there and an additional poppy there Wow I like that I like that a lot I think that looks pretty good so give me one second

Give me a few minutes to kind of look it over and I’ll be right back Oh where’s my umbrella all right welcome back so looking out our window at our new lawn look at that pretty cool so I made one changed as I was kind of

Looking at it I was thinking we could break up the lawn a little bit and maybe add a little extra to the design so I had these little islands out in the middle of our lawn so it just kind of breaks up a lawn so it’s not just this

Big spans of green so what do you think of these do you think we should keep them or get rid of them I like them but I feel like I might move this literally move this like one block on this whole thing a one block over and

Maybe move this one maybe a block and then one over this wage so it doesn’t quite block that tree sight line so if you’re looking you know this way through there you can still kind of see that so let me know what you think of those if I

Should keep them or let them so that would be much appreciated and well guys this has been good times with scar I always really appreciate you guys taking the time to watch my videos and if you believe the videos deserve the rating that would be much appreciated

And until next time this has been good time so scarf and we’ll see you later don’t forget to follow me on Facebook and Twitter um I was thinking about you know doing another flower bed across here but I thought I’d push up the fence right against the sidewalk there don’t

Want anybody messing with our flowers all right so put that there and then yeah so just continue this process across here and then we’ll link it up on the other side of our
