Low-Stress, High-Reward Ways to Transform Your Yard Before Summer

Spring is here, and April is the perfect time to roll up your sleeves and refresh your outdoor space—without taking on a massive renovation. Whether you’ve got an afternoon or a full weekend to spare, these low-stress, high-reward DIY landscaping projects can make a big impact and get your yard looking its best well before summer.

1. Define Your Garden Beds with Fresh Edging

Clean, defined garden bed edges instantly give your yard a polished look. You can use a half-moon edger or a flat spade to carve crisp lines along your garden beds. Want something more permanent? Install metal, stone, or rubber edging materials to keep mulch and soil in place and create a clean boundary between lawn and garden.

Pro Tip: After edging, top off beds with a fresh layer of mulch—Nunan’s offers premium mulch for both pickup and delivery to make this step a breeze.

2. Build a Simple Garden Path

Adding a path through your garden or yard can improve both function and charm. Use materials like gravel, mulch, stepping stones, or even reclaimed brick for a weekend project that adds structure and personality. A well-placed path guides the eye through your space and keeps feet dry on dewy mornings.

Bonus: Gravel and stone paths pair beautifully with Nunan Grown perennials. Stop by to see what’s blooming this season!

3. Install a Raised Bed for Veggies or Flowers

Raised beds are a fantastic way to jump-start your growing season. They warm up faster in the spring, offer excellent drainage, and reduce strain on your back. You can build a simple wooden frame in just a few hours, then fill it with nutrient-rich soil and compost—available right here at Nunan’s.

Not sure where to start? Our team is happy to help you choose the right soil blend and size for your needs.

4. Create a Mulch Border or Natural Ground Cover Zone

If your lawn has tricky areas that resist grass—think shady corners or tree roots—consider replacing those patches with mulch or natural ground covers like creeping thyme or ajuga. It’s an easy weekend fix that reduces maintenance and adds beauty.
