We decided to dedicate this weeks blog post to DIY projects that you and your family can easily do. Stark Contrast Landscaping does more than trim trees and cut grass! As a matter of fact, we focus on design aesthetics and curb appeal as well. One way to do this is by spending a little time doing some "do-it-yourself" projects. We will be focusing on two ways utilize standard gardening pots for a unique alternative purpose.
The first one it a lovely idea for your front yard - you can place these close to your curb or by your homes entry way. Purchase your desired size of gardening pots and by the potting plates to match. Then select your color scheme, preferably something that will stand out, and then paint your pots! You can use a spray paint designed to withstand different weather conditions, or regular paint that you brush on. Once that is complete, freehand or stencil the numbers of your home address on the pots so it can be seen from the street. This is a fun and creative way to change up the normal home address numbers that are found on your curb! 
Second on the list is this colorful bird bath! If you have lived in Arizona for any amount of time, you know that the summer heat can be very grueling. We found that this is a fun and inventive way to provide your neighborhood birds the ability to take a bath and grab a drink! You simply add the amount of pots you need in order to reach the desired height for your bird bath. You then place a large potting plate on top. If you don't have little kids that can knock this over, you will not need to cement the top portion of it to the stacked pots. (If you do have kids, we recommend cementing the top portion to the pots below it.) The design we are displaying is obviously very colorful and would make a statement to any yard - if this doesn't go with your style, you always have the option of paining each piece with a natural color tone. Help out the birds and lend them a cute place to bathe!
These are fun ways to liven up your yard and bring a unique spin on the average gardening pot! If you need help with any other landscaping design elements, we'd be happy to offer our visual design opinion.
