2. Stunning Flower Beds

Makeover Rating:★★★★

A beautiful flower bed is a staple for any backyard makeover. Plants and flowers can add so much life to your outdoor space.

1. Perennials vs Annuals: If you choose perennials instead of annuals, then you can enjoy them year after year. Once the initial set up is done, you just need to do some weeding and trimming to keep it looking amazing. Cost: $$
2. Raised Beds: Adding some raised flower beds to your backyard will give it added height especially if your lot is completely flat. Try a tiered design to give you a mini mountain of flowers to enjoy. Cost: $$$
3. Borders and Mulch: Large rocks or decorative bricks make great borders for your flower beds and they will define where your bed ends and your lawn begins. Use smaller rocks or mulch around your plants to help keep the amount of weeding to a minimum. Cost: $

Be creative with your flower beds; raise your beds and use decorative stones

3. Patios for Aesthetics and Entertaining

Makeover Rating:★★★★

A patio is a great addition to any backyard makeover. It can be both functional and attractive. Your patio can actually give you more living space. It can be used as a place where you can entertain your friends and family and it can be a great place for you to escape and relax.

1. Flagstones: A flagstone patio is a great choice if you prefer a more natural, non-geometrical look. They come in many different shades and colors to give you that unique look you want. Cost: $$$$
2. Arbors and Trellises: Add an arbor or trellis to your patio for extra height and visual appeal. Plant some vines or other climbing plants to grow over your trellis for a truly organic look. Cost: $$
3. Patio Furniture: Don’t forget to furnish your patio with outdoor furniture that is designed to withstand the elements and look beautiful for years to come. Cost: $$$

4. Tree Stump Ideas

Makeover Rating:★★★

Have you had to take down a dead tree and are now left with the stump? Most people consider the stumps as eyesores that get in the way when you are trying to mow the lawn and are too expensive and labor intensive to get removed. Well here are some really cool ways that you can incorporate that tree stump into your backyard makeover. These ideas are so great that they might even get you considering cutting down a tree, just to have a stump to work with! (But, we really don’t recommend doing that!)

1. Table: Use the stump as a base for a beautiful outdoor table. Simply attach a slab of marble, stone, wood, etc. and you’ve got an extra eating area. Cost: $$
2. Plant Stand: Set a decorative planter filled with flowers on top and around the base of your stump for a quick and easy impromptu garden. Cost: $
3. Planter: Carve out a section of the top of the stump, fill with soil and plant flowers right inside for a lovely spill-over effect. Trailing petunias would work great for this idea. Cost: $
4. Display Cave: Hollow out one side to make a little cave to display interesting garden ornaments. Cost: $$
5. Gnome Home: Add a peaked shingled roof to the top and add a door on the side to make a lovely cottage for your favorite garden gnome. Cost: $$

Tree stumps can be transformed into amazing backyard landscape features

5. Fire Pit Ideas
