Things to Make Your Yard Look Great

May 30th, 2009 Bryan Reid No comments

Have you ever watched those shows about renovating yards and thought that you wish you could do that? Thats where I was last year with the poor me syndrome. Then one day I woke up and decided to put my budget together and see what I could do. I am so glad I did because I have come a long way since that first day!

In the beginning it was important to me to access what I had at my disposal. I first looked at what skills I had then looked at the kills and knowledge base of my friends and family. Once that was done it was apparent that I had unbelievable knowledge and skills that I could count on for my yard project.

The next step was to prioritize with my wife the things we both really wanted to do to the backyard like putting in some raised beds and a garden. We also wanted to add some features in the yard like a water feature of some kind and storage options. My wife has dreamed of having a greenhouse as well in order to grow food year round so we also placed that on the list.

Once the list was completed I have to admit it seemed daunting. Just looking at the work involved made mw wonder if I had bit off more than I could chew. It was time to call in the Calvary and get a couple of opinions from knowledgeable friends. Both suggested I start by working with what was already there, which was the fence and deck so I did that first. I moved the fence and repaired the deck.

Dealing with the fence and deck was a job but it was well worth it. I did some research and found out that once you have these items you have to take care of them by sealing them for your weather conditions, which we did. My wife found some great wooden post caps to finish off the look and protect the posts as well and it still looks fantastic!

As things have progressed since then we have made great progress. We purchase what we want in kit form and move on from there. Doing it this way has worked out great. We arent finished and just chip away at it as we can. Even though its not complete its far better than it was this time last year.

Using kits was a great idea for us. Weve been able to buy as we go and they are really easy to put together. Weve used them for our shed, several raised beds for vegetables and flowers and for our Rion Greenhouse. We are just weeks from being finished with a sitting area that includes a garden arbor in one of the garden spaces we created and after that its just filling in with trellises, planters and other garden dcor items and we will be done! I know I need to take time to enjoy it all but I have been overtaken by the DIY movement. Im thinking a new addition; so is my wife but we are not talking about the same thing!
