Looking for a few fun backyard projects to tackle this weekend? We’ve got three that will spruce up your yard in less than 48 hours.

Log Planter

Most trees look better when they’re living. No so with this hollowed out log planter. If you’ve got a dead log you need to get rid of, don’t. Just hollow it out and turn it into a planter.

Create a Perfect Border

If you spent the time to create a beautiful garden, it’d be a pity to let it get invaded by grass. Adding a defined border is an attractive and effective way to prevent your landscaping from getting overrun with grass. Best of all, the project is simpler than you might expect.

Get Down with Gravel

Tired of your high-traffic areas looking worse for wear? Laying down crushed gravel is a simple, affordable, and easy solution that looks will solve your problem while enhancing the look of your yard.
