DIY Raised Garden Bed
From Tikkido
Doesn’t it feel so pleasant when you have awesome plants in your backyard?
The thing is… not every backyard suitable for gardening.
And I am talking about the soil.
Some soil is just “non-cooperative” when it comes to growing plants.
One trick you can try is build a garden bed and fill it with a garden soil.
And if you want something cooler you can make a RAISED garden bed.
If you make it tall you can make gardening easier because you don’t need to kneel or squat when taking care of your plants.
Plus, you can have a new seating area in your backyard.
Simple DIY Patio
Pea gravel is great for patio.
Above the pea gravel patio, you can place a wooden bench, string lamps, and planters.

Cover Your Succulent Bed With River Rocks
Are you a fan of succulents?
If so, you can display your succulent collection in your backyard!
Make a DIY succulent bed and decorate it with river rocks.
If you already have a flower bed or a plain succulent bed in your backyard, that’s great! You just need to give a little touch of creativity and display your succulent beautifully!
Involve Dark Mulch To Make Some Color Contrast
Cover your garden bed soil with dark mulch to add some contrast.
This can work really well when you have bright-colored plants and flowers.
Sure, you can call a landscaping service and ask them to build all those items above for your yard.
But you probably need to prepare a huge budget to make other people build those for you.
So, why don’t try some DIY projects?
Consider it as a refreshing outdoor activity after a boring work behind the table.
Oh, and don’t forget, you don’t need to make each of those projects. Just pick one or two or combine some of them to build a backyard/front yard you love.
Pick your favorite ideas and try them at home!
You can do it!
