Bike track and other ideas needed for my backyard.
Comments (10)A path around the boundary of the back yard and allow for garden beds or hedges on the boundary of your property. A figure 8 or roundabout would be lots of fun as well. Remember they will grow out of the little tykes cars and will be on scooters and bikes soon, which means more speed. Mark out tracks with garden hose or line marker spray paint. Think about where a veggie patch or garden beds might go. Concret would be the best surface for a path. Have fun!...See MoreIdeas for backyard garden
Comments (6)Do you know if it is clumping or running bamboo? I've grown to love our little clump of clumping bamboo. Recently, I pruned back all the old culms, divided and transplanted it along our back fence near the cubby house. It has quickly reestablished and is doing a great job of screening out the neighbours higgle-piggle of sheds. I can see that yours needs some pruning ton thin it out and show off the stems, but you might find that you can create an attractive, instant and cost effective screen to be a uniform backdrop to some new feature plants in pots (bamboo can look good in a classic garden but I have to agree that bamboo and roses aren't the best combination)...See MoreIdeas for my backyard entertainment area
Comments (2)Oh super helpful. I searched for Pool Houses but "Enclosed Pool Houses" have really filtered the designs I was looking for inspiration. Thanks! It's so important I find the right builder for this in my area. I've not had much luck in the past with contractors and really want a smooth build. Cheers!...See MoreSimple backyard landscaping ideas
Comments (14)Can you post a sketch? I'm scrolling back and forth trying to visualise it all and understand dimensions and orientation and usage. If the fence colour suits the house and creates a good background for the plants I wouldn't worry about whether it will date. The same concern could apply to the house, but if it all comes together in a way that is classically timeless rather than overly trendy and you're happy with it, then it's working. Alternatively formal or informal hedging can obscure the fence and avoid the question of what colour the fence should be. I agree that with a toddler and dogs you want to keep as much of that lawn as you can. Work out how much garden bed is needed around the edge so that you are not constantly pruning the plants back to fit, but so it still leaves as much lawn as you want. What's missing in my view is edging, most garden styles look better with edging between the plants and the grass. Another thing that gives gardens a more finished look is underplanting. Research plants to ensure you don't plant anything that is toxic or allergenic. Remember humans and dogs can differ in that regard. Start an Ideabook for your garden. If you have images of what you are trying to achieve, and you can share that with us, you can make progress with specific how to's and choosing specific plants....See More- 8 years ago
