One of the best ways to revive any backyard is to add some decor. Regardless of the season, any vision is possible with a little creativity and determination! Afterall: who doesn’t want the best backyard on the block? If you’re looking for some plans this weekend, or think your outdoor space needs some TLC, then here are some ideas you’ll love:
Instead of planting flowers in traditional flowerbeds, try planting flowers in some unconventional items such as an old pair of shoes! Simply treat the pair of shoes like a flower pot and put some soil within — filing them completely. Once that step is accomplished, simple take a flower of your choice and plant it within the opening. Before you know it, you’ll have the coolest planters on the block!
Have a an awkward piece of property in your backyard? You know what we’re talking about: that little patch of lawn or dirt that doesn’t serve much of a purpose? Instead of leaving that area bare, build a bridge! With some simple salvaged pallet wood planks, which you can stain any color you’d like, simply lay them flat in the pattern of a bridge — no assembly required! In under an hour, you’ll have a makeshift bridge that will be a focal point in your backyard!
Have a statue of a gnome that faded over time? What about a plastic lawn flamingo? If you’re torn on throwing them out to the curb, try refurbishing them! Take a trip to your local home improvement or craft store and pick up some outdoor paint (see a salesperson for assistance) and paint brushes. Once you have your supplies, it’s time to clean the tarnished lawn ornament with some soap and water! After the lawn ornament is dry, it’s time to get creative and paint! In no time you’ll have a newly refurbished statue in your garden that you can cherish for the years to come!
