The times when the yard in front of the house was used as a warehouse for storing building materials, manure and other things "necessary" in the household are gone. Now we strive to make our site look aesthetically pleasing and please us and those around us with its originality. By applying ingenuity, imagination and work, you can give a unique image to your yard.
DIY yard decoration: stones
If large round stones are painted with acrylic paints, you can use them to decorate flower beds. Try to reproduce Stonehenge in your yard. This will require more than 25 stones. They should be of various shapes, sizes can also be different, but it is better to use larger ones. "Boulders" must be installed vertically around the circumference, digging them a little into the ground. In general, stones are the most environmentally friendly material that fits into the design of the yard. They must be used for edging flower beds, creating an alpine slide, etc.
Do-it-yourself yard decoration: flowerpots
Used shoes can be used as flowerpots to decorate the yard. Old boots are especially comfortable. Having poured earth inside, you need to plantbright flowers. As flowerpots, you can use old pots, buckets, decorating them with small stones, shells, etc. You can make original flowerpots from car tires or plastic bottles, and then paint them. If you fasten a tire painted with bright paint with wire to the fence, pour earth inside and plant, for example, petunias, you will get an unusual planter. Decorating the yard with your own hands is easy. Don't be afraid to experiment and try. All the same, you will bring something of your own to the design of the yard, and this will become a manifestation of your individuality.

It focuses attention on itself, therefore it should be unusual, distinguished by its decorative effect. Against the background of a green lawn, a flower bed is often placed. It must be raised above the lawn, and the edges framed with stones, bricks, plastic bottles. The flowerbed can be the mostvariety of plants: annuals and perennials. Flower beds can be both regular geometric shapes and unusual configurations, for example, in the shape of a butterfly or a fish. Such flower beds are called "arabesque". Low-growing trimmed shrubs planted in one lane create a so-called border. It gives the whole composition a neat look and completeness. Curbs can be bordered by paths, but it is better to use them as a "hedge" around the entire site. Large flowers can be planted singly or in groups. Roses, hydrangeas, peonies, dahlias, mallows will also attract attention and create a mood. The flowers in your flower beds should be chosen so that the flower beds remain bright for a very long time. To do this, you need to plant both the earliest plants - tulips, daffodils, crocuses, and flowers that bloom in autumn - asters, gladioli, etc. All this will make your yard bright, positive, and every year you will look forward to summer, to continue your experiments in designing your yard.
