“Do it yourself garden stones can bring a lot of life to any yard. I see so many people getting rid of all of their hardscaping and landscaping because they think that they’re too busy or too worried about their business. Well, I say if you love your yard and garden then there’s no reason to leave it in the hands of a professional. It is possible to get a lot more out of your garden with minimal effort and most of the time less cost. There are several ways to improve your garden and yard.
“Spaced annually, flowers and plants add so much to the look of a yard. Even when there are only a few flowers in bloom, they look magnificent. In the Spring I’ll often plant some daffodils, lilies and crocuses. They stay all year around. Spaced yearly, they grow fast and have little maintenance after the first bloom.
“Sculpted boulders make nice garden decorations. They’re large and heavy enough to remain in place, but small enough to be easily moved. A friend of mine transplanted four oak tree saplings into a row, set them in a garden box and filled the rest of the ground with garden stones. Within two years the row was completely filled with pebbles and boulders and the garden had now turned into a beautiful oasis.”
“Tumbled garden compost is a great way to recycle garden waste. Compost is a natural fertilizer that you can make on your own. It works especially well in sunny areas or in gardens that tend to have a lot of weeds. I simply tumbled the compost in with my garden soil and my plants grew better than I had ever imagined.
“I also make use of garden stones when I’m repainting a part of my garden. I’ve repotted my flower garden in large rocks and used the natural material as a mulch. It has held up really well, providing me with lots of fresh soil every year. When I want to use the mulch, I simply take a break from gardening and slip the garden stones into the holes, which I’ve dug using a garden hose.”
“I like to use garden decorations when I’m trying to create an outdoor living area or to bring a little more color to a spot in my yard. We’ve used garden planters for our sun rooms, stepping stones for our patio, and planting beds for our herb garden. Everything turned out beautifully, and it has allowed us to plant a number of plants that we have enjoyed for years, even though we have not yet had the pleasure of enjoying them.”
Even if you are a do it yourself garden enthusiast, you might not be aware of the many ways in which garden stones can enhance your garden or yard. For example, if you’re trying to create a shady area in your garden, consider planting some tall plants in containers, such as cacti. By doing so, the plants will be protected from the sun. And when the sunlight hits one of the plants, it will reflect it back just as much as it would have if it were in the open. These reflections are beautiful to look at and create a lovely effect in your garden or yard.
In addition to their beauty, they also help the environment. The garden is a wonderful place to escape from the harsh realities of life, but unfortunately many people do not realize that they are harming the earth while they are enjoying their backyard scenery and flowers. If you are tired of seeing trees being felled and lawns being mowed without concern for the future of the planet, then consider giving your garden the gift of do it yourself garden stones. Not only will this bring you enjoyment for many years to come, but you will also be helping to save the planet at the same time.
