Backyard Landscaping Ideas: Backyard Designs for Outdoor Living in Style
Image via Wikipedia
Since backyard design takes place behind the house, it may not be obvious as you drive down the street, but there are changes taking place in backyards everywhere. We are spending more time relaxing on our decks and patios after long work weeks. We’re leaving the comfort of our air conditioned interiors to entertain and cook outdoors.
This shift is changing the way we approach backyard design. Increasingly, backyards are being compartmentalized, encompassing a wide range of inviting spaces designed for recreation and relaxation.
Technology plays a key role in helping us spend more time with our families, and to make the most of the spaces we have – both inside and outside the house. Advances in outdoor lighting make exterior areas more inviting after dark.

The first step in planting is to wet the root-ball of the plant, in case it is dry. If you will not wet it, the plant will not grow. Stand the plant along with its nursery container in a bucket of water for an hour or so, is perhaps is the simplest way to wet the dry root-ball.
Set up a layer of compost in the bottom of the tub or pot over the drainage material. Make sure that it must be of adequate depth, you need root-ball at 12 mm below the level of new compost and the watering space at the top would be 12-25 mm, depending on the size of the container. If you are using soil based compost layer, then stabilize it moderately and for soilless compost stabilize it lightly.

Sanitizing Backyard Gravel…?
Question by stevedoesntknow: Sanitizing backyard gravel…?
I live in Arizona. In this state a “rock garden” aka a “rock lawn” are very common.
I have a large backyard completely covered in medium sized gravel.
They’re basically the size of a square inch.
I have two dogs. One is 10 pounds, the other is 60 pounds.
Over the past 6 months I’ve held down 2 jobs (pulling between 70-80 hours a week)…
In that time, the doog poop situation in the backyard has gotten completely out of control.
I have some vacation time I am using in about a week.
I’m not actually leaving town — instead I am going to try and get my backyard back under my control.
My plan of attack is as follows:
