Contrast the Green
Mulches and barks can be used for many practical and decorative things in landscaping. The first step towards having a paradise in your backyard is to make the green stands out.

Experiment with Retaining Walls
Retaining walls can serve many a purpose in your backyard, from creating interesting and intriguing levels of landscaping to using the blocks and having a surround raised garden that can serve as a sitting space where you can sit back and relax.
