There’s an undeniable thrill in watching a landscaping
project evolve from concept to tangible design. It’s an exciting achievement
that every do – it – yourselfer needs to experience, at least once. When
deciding to renew a home’s outdoor area, think about how you can reuse items
that may not need replacing but just require some TLC. Not only will you remain
in budget, but you will add your own personal touch and make the space that
more meaningful.

A backyard remains an ever changing area – a blank canvas –
that rewards those who patiently tend to their garden. Naturally, after working
hard to maintain a well-kept landscape, who wouldn’t want to sit back and enjoy
its beauty? A well covered deck that incorporates both seating and dining creates
a place to unwind and relish in the outdoors.
Bring the garden onto a porch with hanging plants or
strategically placed planters. This added touch not only softens but allows a
gentle flow when the eye moves from the deck to the garden. Take it a step
further and add some furnishings, such as a throw mat or rug, to complete the
look by bringing the indoors out.
