DIY* Cottage Front yard
I’m so in love with the results of my front yard project!
I’ve wanted pathways in my yard for foreeeever. Pea gravel, obviously. I laid cardboard down where I marked the pathways with spray paint in the yard, watered it all down really well, then covered it in sand, then covered that in pea gravel. Then give the pathways another light watering, just do all the sand goes to the bottom after you’ve raked everything level and tamper it down.
It’s pretty hard work, not gonna lie. Those bags of sand and rocks are heavyyyyyy and my lower back is kinda fucked from all the digging. But, gardening.
I added some solar lights along the pathways, and solar string lights in the tree and I looooooove.
What do you think?
I’m slowly adding plants, and have planted some seeds as well. I’ll keep yall updated!

Creating a beautiful front yard can be an enjoyable and rewarding project. Embracing the DIY approach allows you to personalize your outdoor space to reflect your tastes and style. Consider implementing features such as a pea gravel path that not only provides functionality but also enhances the overall look of your garden. These paths are advantageous because they are relatively easy to install and require minimal maintenance. Adding solar lights along your pathways not only boosts safety but can also create a magical ambience during evenings. The warm glow of solar string lights draped through trees can elevate the aesthetic, giving your space a cozy and inviting feel. Furthermore, incorporating pretty flowers and plants adds vibrant colors and texture, contributing to a lush garden that feels welcoming and alive. To ensure the best results, plan your layout carefully, marking where your paths will go before laying any materials. Using cardboard and sand as a base helps with drainage and provides stability for the gravel. With a little hard work and dedication, you can transform your front yard into a charming cottage retreat that you’ll be proud to show off. Keep experimenting with different plants and pathways to truly make the space your own.
It’s beautiful
