When backyard design is mentioned most people expect a time consuming project that will cost a small fortune.
But with the use of mulches, small plants or shrubs and garden art you can redo small sections of your backyard in a day.
If you divide areas of your yard into sections you can work on one section at a time to create mini gardens or garden rooms. Using this system the entire backyard will not be torn up and you can work with a small budget. You will also be able to enjoy the backyard while projects are underway
This you tube will show you five ideas for small backyard landscaping design ideas they used.
These ideas may give you a start for redoing you own backyard oasis or creating one.
I liked the use of mulch and stone in the video to create an easy to take care of patio area. I also like the use of small plants, mulch and less grass.
When planning your new small garden areas decide what is important to you and incorporate those ideas into your plans. This may be a mini patio, reading room; children’s play area or a work area.
There are two ideas to keep in mind when planning your backyard projects.
1. Design the areas with change in mind. Will your children be growing up or will you be starting a family? Should the recreational area be downsized? Will you be adding a pool or removing one in the future?
2. And the last idea to keep in mind – is to keep it simple. With proper planning you can have a beautiful lush backyard oasis without spending the entire weekend working in it.
