4 Backyard Landscaping Ideas for a Weekend - 15/06/2009

Landscaping your backyard can be an extremely effective way to add a new feel to your whole house, as well as your lifestyle. It doesn't have to be a large project to add a great difference, here are 4 projects that you are able to do in a weekend, and reap the benefits of for years to come.

1- Make a Raised Garden Vegie Patch
Many people these days are growing their own herbs and vegetables with great results. Using the Centenary Herb and Vegie Garden Kit makes this a simple project, just add your choice of plants. 

2- Add Terraces to a Sloping yard
To make this project easier to complete Retaining Wall Link Blocks are a fantastic choice, as you don't need to use mortar between the blocks, just stack them up.

3- Create a Rock Garden
This can be a great feature at the end of an existing garden bed. If the ground you are working on is level, you can pile more rocks at one end to give depth and texture, creating extra interest.

4- Make a Garden Pathway
If you have an area of your lawn that gets a lot of use, consider turning it into a path so the lawn does not wear away. You can use Pavers, Sleepers, Natural Decorative Pebbles or Stepping Stones to get a great look. Choose colours that compliment your house for a nice blend of textures.

With these ideas you can add a few features that can make your garden not only look better, but be more usable for you and your family.

Happy Landscaping!
