Anyone lucky enough to have a lovely garden will know what a pleasure it can be to spend time in this outdoor space. Beautiful gardens don't just happen, though, and landscaping professionals can make a serious hole in a modest household budget, so tackling a few simple landscaping DIY jobs yourself may be the way to achieve the relaxing, pleasing vista you hope for from your outdoor space.
Tackling the hard surface landscaping in your garden first, will give you a quick result, and a good base to work from. At Mone Bros DIY there is everything you will need to create smart and attractive outdoor landscaping projects.
First, consider what features you have already that you need to work around, and then plan paths and patios, to divide up your planting or lawn, and make areas of your garden easily accessible in all weathers.
A cheap and attractive option for paths is gravel. Mone Bros DIY has a wide range of good quality decorative gravel to choose from to give your garden or back yard an instant lift. A frugal tip to reduce costs, is to lay down a layer of newspapers as a base for your gravel path, to discourage the growth of weeds.
A great edging for your gravel path can be made from edging stones, or bricks, or coloured blocks. These are available at very competitive prices from Mone Bros DIY. Choosing your landscaping products direct from Mone Bros will generally be cheaper than going to local garden centres.
Why not create an attractive, low-maintenance area in your garden by ditching the lawn in favour of a decorative gravel bed? A gravel garden is especially great for brightening up a shady area, where lawn may struggle to flourish. Features such as larger cobbles, rockery stones, old tree stumps, or attractive seating or garden statuary can give your outdoor area interesting focus.
