LMK if you want the link! <\/p>\n<p>Flagstone ($270): this is mountain flagstone from Costco, but I bought them on Facebook marketplace for $100 cheaper than Costco sells them. The seller had only used like 4 pavers &amp; didn\u2019t need the rest &#8211; always check marketplace!! I did take some pavers from our patio that I didn\u2019t need for this approximately 100ish sf pathway, but since we already paid for those girl math says they\u2019re free so \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n<p>Topsoil ($85): a yard of bulk topsoil for $50, once I ran out, I spent $35 on bagged topsoil. Buy in bulk !<\/p>\n<p>Plants ($600 ish): This was hard to estimate because a lot of the time, I was buying plants for other parts of the house too, but it was around $600. I definitely busted the budget on this one.. lol worth it \ud83e\udd20 a way to save $$$ here would have been to buy what they call nursery plants (the same plant just smaller and cheaper). If you want a list of the plants, I made a reel on that &#8211; about 10 posts back! <\/p>\n<p>Mulch ($28): less than $4 a bag at @homedepot so no need to buy in bulk when it\u2019s that cheap!<\/p>\n<p>Ground Cover ($90): I separated this out from the plants because this is just what I spent on the ground cover I put in the pathway. I used blue star creeper and creeping thyme!<\/p>\n<p>Total cost: approximately $1,108<\/p>\n<p>The fence was \u201cfree\u201d because it was all leftover material from the new fence we built on the other side of our yard \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t include the shed in here cause it was pretty minimal &#8211; the cedar trim, paint and the new light altogether cost under $100 \ud83e\udef6\ud83c\udffc<br \/>\n\u2022<br \/>\n\u2022<br \/>\n#DIY #makeover #garden  #landscape #gardening #landscaping #plants #flowers #homeimprovement #homeimprovement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*edit* makeover \ud83d\udc80 Landscape Edging ($35): I bought this on Amazon &#8211; it is a bit flimsy, but since it\u2019s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":1552,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/kensmartips.com\/homeimprovement\/?p=1551\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Cost Breakdown for my DIY Landscaping!
