Front Walkway built out of inexpensive cement pavers, red lava rocks, and solar lights

Our home had a simple walkway with cement pavers, which proved to be a hassle when we mowed the lawn. We finished the walkway simply by digging up the grass, adding red lava rocks, ...»
flowers, and solar lights to boost up our curb appeal!

  • This is what my backyard looked like after a recent rainstorm. 2
  • lasagna gardening- laying down newspaper on the grass 2
  • covered tthe newspaper with cardboard
  • After running out of newpaper and boxes had brilliant idea to use paper lawn refuse bags to complete the rest of the yard. Still ended up with blisters and sore hands from cutting 55 bags! :(
  • Thought that 5 yards of garden soil would be enough to cover the yard- NOPE- only covered half- Had to order 5 more yards. Mulch is on order for after the planting! 1
  • 5 yards of soil only covered half my yard! Had to order 5 more yards!!!
  • Finally done applying all of the soil (10 yards worth)! Placed birdbath in center-this wil be one focal point in my dream garden! Watered the soil.
  • Mulch added today- My blank garden slate is ready and I am ready to begin transforming my yard into my secret garden! Let the garden games begin :) SOOO excited!
  • I've been buying perennials and herbs to plant.
  • In the meantime, while waiting for "planting time", I bought and installed a cool OUTDOOR sink!!!
  • Some of the seeds we've planted have started to come up ! So excited!!! 1
  • My future grandson-in-law carved a cute little stool out of a tree stump! Here it is by some tulips that have brightened up the yard, motivating me with sign of great things to come! 1

Transforming my Backyard into a Secret Garden- Part 1

Love my backyard, but after a rainstorm it turns into a lake! I've decided to completely get rid of the grass and transform it into a beautiful, peaceful flower garden retreat. I will not ...»
only be adding soil to the low spots which will help redirect the water, but I will create a beautiful space where I would much rather spend my time with the flowers and plants than cutting the grass :) Huge undertaking, but I am psyched up for it!

So far, I have used some "lasagna gardening" techniques- covered all of the grass (and weeds!) with newspaper, cardboard or paper yard refuse bags. Second step, top that with garden soil mix. I am waiting until I'm sure there are no more frost advisories before I start to plant my flowers and vines. I've started collecting the seedlings I'm going to plant as well as growing some from seeds. (I've got an ENTIRE back yard to fill with flowers!!!) I've been planning my secret garden layout and I can't wait until I can actually start planting my flowers! Wish me luck!

Grow!

This is a sign I painted that hangs on a fence out in my vegie garden that hides my compost tumbler. Everything used to make the fence, sign and even the window box is repurposed and I change the sign out several times during the seasons.

  • I used Command hooks to hang them; for a more permanent treatment, I recommend you use permanent hooks.
