Most of us have that dead yard in our house. Do you know one where nothing grows, you throw the containers away and you never walk in there because it’s too hot or too humid? When you build a new home, it’s usually the last thing on your mind when it comes to landscaping. Nobody really sees this, right? Except you! And it probably bothers you because you’re not sure what to make of it. Also, you don’t want to spend a lot of money to make it presentable. But it’s one of those jobs when you’re done, you’ll be so proud of it. Also, if you decide to sell your home, it will become a space that potential buyers will appreciate.
Today I have some pictures below to inspire you. When I went to look for some, there weren’t many! Come and have a look…
Tips for your side yard makeover
- Don’t spend a lot of money pouring additional concrete there. If you already have it, bonus! Use climbers and rocks to fill the area. Bunnings has cheap pavers in different colors and shapes. Large amounts of grass usually don’t grow because it’s a narrow space, so throw in a few wheelbarrows full of rocks to fill it.
- Choose resistant plants. I have a huge succulent garden next to my house. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll see that he pops up every now and then. All the succulents were free cuts from friends and I keep sharing.
- If you want something against the fence line, I would probably recommend a vine, like a jasmine. Bamboo looks beautiful, but it grows very fast and sheds leaves from time to time, so it will be a cleaning job. Yukkas are also tough, but they turn into monsters and will be hard to take down once you’ve had enough of them.
- Look for garden seedlings on local buy, trade and sell sites. The narrow side of your home is also a good place to propagate plants and transfer them to other parts of the garden when they grow.
