Ideas For Better Organization Of Your Garden

I always have loads of ideas about my garden - to grow a new plant, to install a new graden furniture, to form a new area, to make new pathways... but the garden isn't big enough to handle all this :) So I regularly need to think about organizing the garden in some better way. Here are some organization ideas I have got over the time:

Build "portable" pathways. If you build your pathways with concrete, they will stay there forever or at least until you get a special device to remove them. It's much better idea to build your pathways with materials that can be moved. For example build wooden pathways, walks made of tiles, gravel etc. Moving such tracks elsewhere is easy and helps you reorganize your backyard at any time. Of course it takes a while for the ground under a pathway to recover and start feeding plants, but wiht a little help from you that's not hard.

Use storage benches. Outdoor storage benches are great helpers to keep you garden organized. You can store tools, materials, seeds etc that will otherwise make your backyard crowded with stuff.

Follow the lay. Instead of flattening your backyard, use every jog in it to organize the plants, outdoor furniture, fountains, etc. This is not only cheaper but will also improve the look and the organization of the backyard.

Install a storage shed. Another way to store the garden tools, hoses and so on is to use a garden shed. The sheds are very useful and along with the storage benches can really help you get all the stuff you need well ordered.

Of course there are many other things you can do to organize your backyard better - these were just the fewq ideas I always use. If you approach the landscape design wisely your backyard will always be large enough for all the ideas you want to realize.
