How to get the Picture Perfect Backyard on a Budget

It’s the last week of Spring! You know what that means, it’s time for Summer! Get out the sunscreen and picnic baskets and let’s head outside for family activities in your backyard!

But hold on a second, the backyard isn’t quite prepared for all the Summer fun yet. In fact, it’s been about a year since you last really checked it for maintenance. But no need to fear! Turfscape has come up with some tips to get your picture perfect backyard up and running and even better, on a budget!

Let’s start out with the furniture. They’ve surely seen better days, but that’s not an excuse to throw them out and replace them with more expensive products! Let’s stick with what you got and refurbish. All you’ll need is some spray paint to cover those rusty old chairs and table, new wood to replace the old, and voila! Practically new and best of all, priceless!

Why not try vertical gardening on for size? You can use old bottles, build your very own wooden vertical planter, use an old fence post, or even create a DIY pergola! This can really bring out vibrant colors to your backyard while also keeping it fresh. Whatever you choose to do, save space with a vertical garden and get creative!

Oh, how we love lights. If you love them as much as we do, you’ll surely get a kick out of this! Get some cheap string lights and place them everywhere! The possibilities are truly endless. You can put them on trees, the brand new pergola you just made from scratch or even along the back of freshly refurbished furniture.  

Let’s talk about your lawn. We know how much you love having that beautifully slick, green, grassy yard. We also know you’re busy and sometimes, maintenance can start to disappear throughout the year. Why not trade in your old grass for some new, synthetic landscape turf, made especially for you? Turfscape’s affordable Highland turf is the best in the market for landscape. Its dark, rich natural grass color made with four yarn colors and high-end UV stabilization properties will keep extended family and friends asking about the secret to your yard for years to come. Check it out here.

Creating the picture perfect backyard doesn’t have to break your bank. There are so many fun ways to get the family involved in fixing something new out of the old while also creating fond memories. Turfscape wants to help with the process and become part of your family. Let’s get creative!
