Here are some helpful tips for anyone who wants to do some landscaping at home.
According to Elle Décor, building and creating a beautiful backyard doesn't have to be very difficult if you know how to do it correctly. The first thing you need to do is to create an outdoor living space in your backyard that would be conducive for plants to grow in even during the warm or cold weather.
According to HGTV's "Going Yard" host Peyton Lambton, "Creating outdoor living spaces lends itself to low-maintenance landscaping because you can extend your home while having fewer grassy areas to care for."
Second, it is also a must to pick the right stones that you can use for your landscaping project. There are several different types of stones out there, but the one that could last for the longest period of time is the bluestone.
Meanwhile, it is also necessary that you build a strong foundation for your backyard. The strong foundation would include the strong base for your landscape and this is supposed to withstand all sorts of conditions.
According to HGTV's "Going Yard" co-host Chris Lambton, "If you have a good base, it ends up being low-maintenance for decades to come. You won't have to be weeding things, pulling up stones and re-leveling them."
After you're done building a strong foundation, it's now time to invest in mulch beds. Instead of adding grass, focus on adding mulch beds because this will be much better for your landscape.
"It's one of the best investments you can have in your yard because mulch breaks down, fertilizes your plants, and prevents weeds. It's low-maintenance because you don't have to mow it or water it. It's also inexpensive and you also need to replace it in the spring," Chris said.
