Easy Landscaping DIY Projects for Your Inland Empire Home

Ever get the itch to do a DIY project? Whenever I do, my favorites involve getting outdoors and mixing up my landscaping features. Whether it’s as simple as installing some lighting or a little more time-consuming like re-plotting plants, a fresh look for the lawn always gives your Inland Empire home a fresh look as well. Since curb appeal is so important when selling your home, here are my top five easy landscaping DIY projects that bring buyers to your front door.

Easy Landscaping DIY Projects for Your Inland Empire Home

Create a Pathway

To guide you and visitors throughout your yard and link different areas together, install a pathway. You can use a variety of materials, including reclaimed pallet wood, flagstones, gravel, and more to add texture and color to your Inland Empire home.

Add a Wall or Border

Installing a flagstone, rock, or brick wall around flower beds or trees adds a sleek, clean look to your landscaping and helps separate different sections of your yard.

Install a Water Feature

Nothing says “zen” quite like the sound of trickling water as you relax in your yard. You can start simply by purchasing and installing a small feature powered by a solar panel or create a larger focal point in your yard by installing a waterfall wall or small pond. This works really well in your backyard, which also needs attention when you sell your Inland Empire home.

Light Your Way

An easy way to transform your yard is to strategically use lighting. Place cool-colored lights high in trees to recreate a moonlight feel. Use pathway lights to naturally guide the eye or highlight objects and/or plants.

Plant Upwards

Expand the yard space of your Inland Empire home by drawing the eye to the sky with a trellis fence or screen made of wood or metal. Once you install your trellis, select your climbing plants and vines and get to planting!
