🌿 MY DIY STEPS
Step 1: Prep the Area
Clean up the project space by removing any unwanted plants, weeds, and debris to start with a clear foundation.
Step 2: Install Landscape Fabric
Lay down landscape fabric in the areas where you’ll place gravel, broken concrete, or mulch.
Cut holes in the fabric wherever you plan to add new plants.
💡 Tip: It’s generally best to have mulch around planted areas (which means using more fabric overall), but if you’re working with a limited budget, focus the fabric under the gravel sections where they’re them stand out.
Step 3: Add Hardscape Materials
Spread your gravel, recycled concrete pieces, and/or mulch over the fabric, arranging them to create visual balance and define pathways or zones.
Step 4: Add New Plantings
Plant your chosen selections and water them in well.
