Landscape Garden Deck
Inexpensive ideas to landscape a large backyard of weeds.?
My husband and I are buying a beautiful fixer-upper foreclosure with a lot of potential. The backyard is just about 1/4 acre of sticks, weeds, and hard dirt. I would eventually like a to install a deck, stamped cement patio, and start a garden, but fixing the house itself is our main priority for now. My problem is that I have 3 children (ages 7,5,and 3) and I run a home daycare and so I have smal children that need the back yard. Does anyone have any inexpensive landscaping ideas that I can do for now until I have the funds to fix it the way I want?
grass seed, lilacs and large stones that you find here and there
Spread grass seed all over to help your grass, mow often and water as often as you can. Get a rain barrel for under the evestrough. I don't know what I would do without it. Coolest thing ever.
Now that the grass is looking better, get some lilacs! No maintainence needed and they don't look like shit like cedar trees do because they need so much water, and they give you a lovely privacy wall if you need one. They just add to any yard I think.
Now that the lilacs are planted, place large stones around them, or in a line around your property. Big round or square rocks, the possibilties are endless.
Trees like pincherries and easy to transplant, they grow fast and have beautiful blooms in the spring, and also attract many birds and butterflys.
Another beautiful thing for a plain yard is clamatis.
And when you get some money saved up, cement slabs and a pergola, awesome!
Good luck with your yard!
