WOMAN SHARES NIFTY TRICK FOR KEEPING LANDSCAPE STONES FROM SPILLING INTO WALKWAYS AND PATIOS
It's summer! That means lots of time spent outdoors on DIY projects. From building new fences, expanding patios, or decking out your pool zone, it's the time of year to do it. One of the most common summer DIY home projects is upgrading landscaping. And with landscaping comes adding fresh layers of landscape material like stone or bark mulch to freshen up between stepping stones in pathways.
The only downfall with stone or bark mulch is that they get everywhere, and seem to jump out of their laid area as soon as you put it in there! Adn let me tell you there is nothing worse than walking barefoot and stepping on a tiny little painful stone.
One brilliant homeowner shared with us all her tips for keeping these little stones, or bark mulch, in place, and the process is as easy as it gets, check it out below!.
By applying a tiny layer of spray landscape glue over the stones in her pathway this woman was able to lock them into place without worry of them spilling into the walking path. Can you say genius?!
Landscaping Tips
One of the major mistakes most people make when creating a landscape design is only purchasing things at plant nurseries that they like, which for most people is typically flowers with blooms, but alone they don’t create an eye-catching design. We suggest that successful landscape gardens need equal parts of four perennials to be successful; 25% shrubs, 25%blooms/ color, 25%foliage/ texture, and 25% groundcover.
The second common problem with creating successful landscape designs we see is people buying one of everything or a multitude of things, and when all planted together they get lost and are confusing to look at. We suggest buying three to four things, a bunch of each.
The third problem homeowner often do is limiting herbs in their designs and opting for a small pot or a tiny herb-specific garden. We suggest mixing in large herb bushes throughout your design. Not only do they look beautiful but they are great for pollinators, biodiversity, and for having on hand for cooking.
