There’s nothing more soothing than relaxing with the sounds and smells of nature. There’s nothing more soothing than relaxing with the sounds and smells of nature. Whether it’s the sound of leaves rustling in the wind or the smell of fresh rain, these natural elements can help to create a sense of calm. When we’re feeling stressed, taking a break to connect with nature can be a helpful way to reduce our anxiety and restore our sense of well-being.
Having a garden at home helps us unwind without having to go out, but not everyone has or can have a garden in their backyard. If your yard is small and paved in concrete, it’s a massive job to rip that concrete up, dump it and then get the garden going. Or maybe you’ve got a courtyard that’s paved, that doesn’t get a lot of sun, but you’d like to add some interest to it.
If you’re looking for a way to make your backyard more inviting and relaxing, consider building a daybed with grass. This project is relatively easy to do, and it can make a big difference in how you enjoy your outdoor space.
This daybed project is easy and a lot more practical than actually turning a concrete backyard into a garden. But you still get to enjoy taking a nap or reading a great book on a wonderful lawn!
Worried about maintenance? Use soft leaf buffalo turf – one of the easiest types of grass to grow and look after, even if the area is heavily shaded!
Watch the video tutorial below to learn how easy this grass daybed is to build and maintain. 🙂
