7 Cheap But Amazing Backyard Ideas

1/15/2017

 
Whether you are looking to create a backyard for the sake of relaxation with a good book or entertaining with friends and relations, it is important to understand that your backyard transformation work can be done with ease as it does not necessarily have to be expensive or time-consuming. Here are 7 cheap but amazing landscaping ideas that can help you transform your yard. 


1. Perform Hardscaping with Remnant Stone


No doubt, hardscaping is one of the most expensive backyard ideas in any landscape. But there is a less expensive option to edging, retaining walls and walkways – stone leftovers. These less expensive options are obtainable from your nursery supply store, big box or local landscaping. You can use these remnant stones to create a fantastic yard with a natural look. 


2. Display a collection


Most times, people regard collections as expensive or high-end ornamentation, but you can create a great focal point for your backyard by simply gathering plants in miniature containers. Add a fun pop of color to your outdoor area with a low-cost stockpile of cactus and succulents plants. Provide a good spot for them on a plain shelf. 


3. Make your own accents


Enhance your backyard space with a range of decorative garden projects, such as designing customized tabletop fountains and creating personalized stepping-stones. One particular backyard idea that works well in a country- or cottage-inspired garden is the stepping-stone set. These pretty accents are so cost-effective that they can be implemented on a budget. 


4. Use handmade or vintage finds to soften the edges. 


Repurpose vintage elements into decorative backyard focal points that can be used in place of a more expensive light fixture. No matter the size of your patio space, you can always add beauty and elegance to it if you choose to. Use suitable materials like sheets and yardage to make sweeping fabric shades that can be used as shields from the intense rays of the sun. Bonus: you can outfit trailing vines and candles on nonworking chandeliers. 


5. Use lights to drape overhead spaces


There is a good reason why outdoor lights have remained longtime favorites for outdoor spaces. It’s as a result of their fun and celebratory nature. Create a twinkling centerpiece by draping them down on a table or wrapping them on a tree. 


6. Create a DIY seating area


Make-it-yourself tables, chairs, and benches padded with foam can provide everyone with lots of comfortable seating outside the back door of your home. Rather than using furniture this backyard idea can make an efficient, cost-effective alternative. 


7. Create a living fence with espaliered tree


Make your blank wall look visually interesting. Even without a high-end expense, you can create a high-end backyard by decorating your wall with an espaliered tree.
