5 Weekend Landscaping Projects You Can Do To Improve Your Yard

Looking to upgrade your yard without a full renovation? With just a weekend, some quality stone, and fresh mulch from Elmwood Bark & Stone, you can completely transform your outdoor space. 

1. Refresh Your Garden Beds
Add a fresh layer of mulch to instantly boost curb appeal, lock in moisture, and keep weeds down. It’s one of the quickest and most impactful upgrades you can make. We have environmentally safe dyed and natural options.

2. Create a Stone Border
Define your garden beds or walkways with decorative stone. It gives your yard a clean, polished look while helping keep mulch in place. Whether you prefer the polish white, a sparkly gold, or a natural neutral--we have something for everyone. You could also use mini boulders or cobblestone to create a pretty landscape bed border.

3. Build a Simple Walkway
Use stepping stones or crushed 3/8" Native stone (pea-stone) to create a path through your yard or garden. It’s functional, low-maintenance, and adds character. 

4. Design a Fire Pit Area
Set up a cozy space using stone for the base and surround it with mulch or gravel. Perfect for relaxing nights, entertaining and the perfect s'more!

5. Upgrade Around Trees & Mailboxes
Add a small mulch bed with a stone edge around trees or your mailbox for a simple but eye-catching detail that ties your yard together. Planting annuals around your beds will bring pollinators to help with your vegetable growth and pops of color to your property.

ARE YOU READY?
