If you’re looking for something more robust, try using logs that are around double in length. Pinterest Boards This one is for all the DIY lovers out there.

Pinterest Stacked Stone Stacked stones can give your garden either a unique or uniform look, depending on what type of stones you purchase.

Deciding what combination of different stone sizes, colors, and shapes to use! Pinterest Wine Bottles You may have never tried this before, but don’t dismiss it just yet.
