There’s no time like the present to get started! With these 7 step-by-step tutorials and diy projects, you can revamp any space in your garden this weekend. From the front porch to the backyard, there’s something for everyone here. Get ready to make some improvements to your yard and enjoy planting season in style!
Front Porch
If you’re looking to make a big impact, revamp your front porch this weekend! One of the simplest and most inexpensive ways to add some color is by planting flowers in pots along the front porch. It adds the perfect pop of color and gives your home a welcoming feel when you come home from work or spend time outside.
Another easy fix for an overgrown front yard is to add a fresh coat of paint. With just one weekend, you can turn that dark and foreboding space into something lighter and more inviting. And don’t forget about the flowers! They always brighten up any garden, especially in the summer. Add some colorful annuals or perennials for a simple but effective touch that will look great all season long.
Backyard
Makeover
Your backyard is a great place for some DIY projects. There are so many options to choose from, but these two are sure to have the biggest impact on the space you love outdoors.
1. Garden Wall: Make your own garden wall with cinder blocks and fill them with gravel, sand, rocks, or other small mementos. It’s a great way to personalize your outdoor space without splurging on an expensive project.
2. Swing Set or Tree House: If you have children or grandchildren, this is a must-have addition! A swing set can be as simple as attaching 2x4s to trees and adding swings and chains. A tree house gives children the opportunity to create their own space outside that they can enjoy any time of day or night!
Bed of your dreams
Dreaming of a beautiful bed to relax in? Look no further than your own backyard! Create a simple and lovely space with these 4 steps.
1. Clear out the space.
2. Lay down a nice layer of compost for organic fertilizer – this will help to provide nutrients for your plants and it provides drainage so that your plants won’t rot from being too wet.
3. Add 3-5 inches of topsoil (which will provide nutrients for the plant roots).
4. Place stones at the base of each plant to ensure that they won’t be disturbed by animals or humans when watering, weeding, or planting new flowers and plants!
Creating a welcoming entrance
You can create a welcoming entrance to your garden by adding an arbor. An arbor is the perfect way to greet guests, and you can even grow vines on it for added charm. Plus, the arbor will also provide some shade for your guests on hot summer days. The steps are simple: buy some cedar boards of the desired width, cut them into lengths that are equal to the length of each post hole, set posts in concrete with one end in each post hole, attach boards to posts.
Assemble the arbor by attaching the two outer boards at right angles to each other with decking screws or galvanized nails. To make this more of a DIY project, you could try using premade brace pieces or lattice panels instead of boards cut from cedar wood.
Modernizing your garden with some plants
There’s no better time to work on your garden than spring. This is the time when all the flowers are blooming and it’s so picturesque. You can transform any space in your garden with some plants. These tutorials will show you how to create beautiful landscaping while only spending a little bit of money. One of the best ways to modernize your garden is to find some unique plants. Plants like succulents, bonsai trees, and other strange looking plants are perfect for adding something different to your garden space. There are many tutorials on how to create these types of plants yourself at home. It’s not too hard and it saves you money!
Bringing in some greenery
If there is one thing that our gardens need, it’s more green! One of the best ways to bring in some greenery is through low-maintenance plants. Adding a few pots will instantly beautify any corner of your garden. You can even plant flowers or herbs in the pots for an added touch of color. There are many different types of pots to choose from, so find one that matches your style and theme.
Making the most of empty space.
With the right tools and a little creativity, you can make your garden more beautiful than ever before. Check out these 7 simple ways to revamp your space this weekend:
- Fill empty spaces with flowering plants or groundcovers. You’ll never know what you can do with an empty corner until you try!
- Plant a tree in your yard. Nothing says ‘home’ like a lush tree in the front yard.
- Create a focal point by marking an area off as garden space. Different houseplants will be easy to manage when they have their own space.
- Add plants to your porch for curb appeal. The simpler, the better! There are so many plants that will thrive on your porch, even if it doesn’t get much sun.
- Don’t forget about mulch! Mulching is an effective way to reduce weeds and enjoy more colorful flowers and plants all season long. It also protects and cools the soil for plant roots during hot summer months and keeps water from evaporating too quickly in dry climates.
- Remember to take care of your plants once they’ve been planted! Keep dead leaves raked away, water regularly, and fertilize every few weeks to keep your plants healthy year round. That way you’ll be able to enjoy them for as long as possible!
