No need to spend money on pink flamingos or other tacky decorations, even if it seems that’s all you can afford. The truth is that you can completely change the look of your yard for under $100.

• Yard figurines can be found at Home Depot, flower shops and sometimes at places like the Dollar Store. Choose items that would fit well with a garden theme, such as garden animals or fairies and place them under plants, so they appear to be peeking out, or next to potted plants.
• Plant flowers or trees alongside the edges of the garden. Or create smaller areas within a large yard by planting bushes to create sections. Potted plants also have a place in the yard. Simply set them up in a group in a corner. They’re a good option to create a feeling of lushness and will work in areas where there’s no soil, like near the front steps of the house or under the porch.
• Move some furniture outside. If you have an old table or a couple of chairs that you no longer want inside the house, move them to the yard and create a small breakfast area. Furniture left outside will be exposed to the elements and probably get ruined, so make sure you only use things you don’t mind losing.
