  • Erosion was a real problem. Not to mention the dirt the builders brought in. Very sticky clay plus a ton of rocks.
  • This is what we had to work with.
  • We dug out and built these tiers by hand one shovel at a time! We took the Garden of Eden Film approach and brought in compost plus year old mulch to serve as a natural "covering". So we rarely water our garden.

  • I wanted to share my little sister's Backyard Waterfall & Pond!
  • She and her hubby did all the work themselves! They did a great job of incorporating the waterfall into the landscape-it looks like it's been there forever.
  • I love it! I have a much smaller waterfall and pond on the to-do list for summer & hers gave me lots of inspiration- I thought you'd like it too! xo

DIY Backyard Waterfall & Pond!

In case you're planning a DIY water feature, I thought I'd show you my sister's Waterfall & Pond that she and her hubby put in...maybe you'll get an idea or two, I know I did!

    I am working on a dry stream bed (water only when we have a storm). I keep thinking about ...»
    adding a pump and liner to retain the water, but am concerned about the work it would require to keep it nice, and the cost to run the pump. Do you know what size pump they used? I've looked and don't think HD or Lowes has one big enough for that volume of water.

  • We covered all the horizontal surfaces on our deck, and it required 4, 4-gallon buckets. 3
  • You can back-brush the second coat for a smoother texture.
  • The deck almost looks like composite now. Rust-Oleum has lots of different colors to choose from, and we selected "Saddle".

  • There's nothing like Aloe Vera to perk up a plastic pot.
  • I don't like this planter as much, but hope that whatever I plant in it will quickly cover the rim.
  • I hate plastic flower pots, but keep finding them around the farm. I have no idea why we have them.

Faux-Zaic Flower Pot

I was hoping I invented the term "faux-zaic"...oh, well. This was a rainy day activity that kept my mind off not being able to go out and garden.

  • The finished bookcase media wall.  I left the middle section open for a large flat screen t.v.  There's a hole in the countertop towards the wall for cords, and an electrical outlet accessible in the middle cabinet.
  • All trimmed, painted, and lights installed.
  • I used stock wall cabinets (12" deep) from Home Depot as lower cabinets, so I had to build a base for them.  I was reusing some cabinets from a previous media wall attempt that didn't turn out so great, which is why they're painted.

  • My grandkids love our tire swing. It is hung from a large oak tree on a hill so they get lots of height.
  • Here is the hardware you need. 3 two inch U-bolts, 3 four and a half foot long pieces of chain and a quick connect.
  • Placement of the swing is very important. Make sure there is plenty of room for those big circle swings.
