EASY LANDSCAPING DIY PROJECTS
Ever
get the itch to do a DIY project? Whenever we do, our favorites involve getting
outdoors and mixing up our landscaping features.
Whether
it's as simple as installing some lighting or a little more time-consuming like
re-plotting plants, a fresh look for the lawn always gives your home a fresh
look as well. Here are our top five easy landscaping projects!
Create a pathway.
To
guide you and visitors throughout your yard and link different areas together,
install a pathway. You can use materials from a variety of materials, including
reclaimed pallet wood, flagstones, gravel, and more to add texture and color.
Add a wall or border.
Installing
a flagstone, rock, or brick wall around flower beds or trees adds a sleek,
clean look to your landscaping and helps separate different sections of your
yard.
Install a water feature.
Nothing
says zen quite like the sound of trickling water as you relax in your backyard.
You can start simple with by purchasing and installing a small feature powered
by a solar panel or create a larger focal point in your yard by installing a
waterfall wall or small pond.
Light your way.
An
easy way to transform your yard is to strategically use lighting. Place
cool-colored lights high in trees to recreate a moonlight feel, use pathway lights
to naturally guide the eye, or highlight objects or plants.
Plant upwards.
Expand
your yard space by drawing the eye to the sky with a trellis fence or screen
made of wood or metal. Once you install your trellis, select your climbing
plants and vines and get to planting!
