I’m the type of person that looks around my house and see if there are things I can add, fix, or build to make look it look better. This weekend, I suggest you do the same for your backyard with these DIY garden projects.

I spend my free time outdoors, literally in our backyard, and I’ve been getting to know our garden a little bit better. It’s usually my wife’s area of expertise but when I suggested these DIY garden projects for our house, she got really excited. She liked almost everything that had to do with her flowers and succulents but I’m particularly excited with the Skateboard swing and teepee.

If you’re as excited as we are for these DIY garden projects, read on and get to building.
