Backyard like a warzone. Ideas for landscaping?
My family bought a do-up house and have spent a lot of time on the inside, and are ready to start on the outside. We have a long narrow yard with a terribly uneven lawn and an area at the end of the section where the lawn is so choked with tree roots that we can't even get a spade in the soil. We want landscaping that will hold up with a dog and three children, but can't afford any major hard landscaping work at the moment after spending lots indoors. Can anyone suggest links to good gardening websites with lanscape plan ideas or ideas for garden design on a tight budget?
HGTV.com is the one that comes to mind. But talk to your local garden center for ideas too.
Might I suggest a lot of mulch and curvy lines to draw attention away from how narrow your yard is? And for that area that has all the tree roots- if you can't get them out, perhaps you can build a piece of garden statuary in it.
Good luck!
