Lay gravel all around the yard and build a focal point with plants. The gravel will help you reduce weeds and dirt build-up, and the middle design will make it look attractive.

Once in a while trim them so they do not grow too much and cover your landscape design.

If you want to further decorate it add mulch underneath the plants to make it look super clean.

2. Build a Small Rock Bed Garden

This idea is quite similar to the previous one but instead of gravel you will use rocks and stones to cover up the space. Then plant around it to make it look more natural.

Remember you must clean the surroundings once a month by cutting grass and removing the dirt or the design will not look that good.

3. Plant Vegetables in the Yard
