Start a Garden

Gardening is a rewarding, fulfilling experience. It allows you to connect to nature, grow food for yourself, and beautify the outdoor space. If you’re new to gardening, start with a small plot or container garden to avoid feeling overwhelmed. You can always increase your garden size as you gain experience and confidence. 

DIY Fire Pit

Build a backyard fireplace using bricks or pavers. You can also use a metal fire ring. It’s perfect for roasting marshmallows, cozying up on cool evenings, and entertaining guests. 

Outdoor Movie Screen

Purchase a home projector and assemble your own outdoor movie screen. You can watch your favorite movies and TV shows. This project is ideal for summer movie nights.

Rain Barrel

Online tutorials can help you create a rain barrel to collect rainwater that can be used to water your plants and garden. It’s not only eco-friendly, but also helps conserve water during dry spells.

Mosaic Stepping Stones

Make colorful mosaics stepping stones with broken tiles, ceramic or glass pieces. They add a decorative touch to pathways and garden beds and are sure to capture guests’ attention.

Make your own bug repellent lanterns with mason jars and citronella oils. These help keep mosquitoes and other insects at bay during outdoor gatherings, as nobody likes being swarmed by bugs when they’re spending time outside.
