May Makeover: Backyard on a Budget!

 

 

 

 

 

 

By Wiggles Pig

I’ve had a lot of requests about how to create a sensational garden while still watching your cents.

Not to worry, Webkinz fans. You don’t have to be Fluffington St. Bernard to enjoy a stunning outdoor space.

I thought I’d show you a backyard I recently completed on a very tight budget to demonstrate how sometimes less really can be more. This backyard is an excellent example of how simplicity and symmetry can create a true wow factor.

Even though I only had $3000 to work with, I decided to use almost half my budget to make an eye-catching focal point by circling a colorful geranium bush with a rustic flagstone path. An attractive but inexpensive bench sits between two elegant urns at the end of the yard, and I used repetition to enhance the simplicity by placing two basic wood benches on either side of the yard. A reasonably priced tree and some inexpensive fencing was all I needed to complete my minimalist look.

The end result? A restful, calming space in which the impact comes from what’s NOT there. And so do the savings!

    I think this looks great and is very calming – I have so much kinzcash that I wind up putting too much stuff in the garden – cool idea to keep things simple!

    That is nice but why can’t some of these makeovers show more realistic rooms? Very few of my rooms have the single door like all these have portrayed and working around 4 doors is a lot more challenging.

    I personally would add a bit more and a bit more expensive nice looking things. I have more kinzcash though. You should try doing your daily kinzcash when you get the chance. I don’t everyday though I do on the weekends.

    I like simplicity but it looks unfinshed. A partial fense seems to me that you ran out of kinzcash. Sorry
