10 DIY Garden Cement Projects For Your Backyard

When you’re decorating a backyard, it’s important to preserve the sanctity of the natural theme. The last thing you want is to overpopulate the natural decor with synthetic plastic holders and overtly polished store-bought items.

There’s a unique beauty to cement-made projects that I can’t seem to get over, especially in the garden.

Not only are cement projects affordable to make but they can last a lifetime, they’re easy to maintain, and can be made by practically anyone willing to get their hands a little dirty.

So for that reason, I decided to find a list of the most beautiful yet practical DIY garden cement projects you can try over the weekend.

Cool DIY Garden Cement Projects

1. DIY Wood And Cement Planter Stand

I know that some people live in a concrete jungle and the last thing they want is more concrete but by pairing it with beautiful greenery and colorful flowers, they could instantly add a fresh infusion of life to your backyard.

Unlike a lot of fragile and cheaply made pots, this holder is not nearly as likely to break or collapse on you.

2. DIY Cemented Hand Plant Holder

As a kid, one of the things that truly fascinated me was the little unique decorations I’d find in a large Garden. This unique hand-shaped plant holder would have blown my mind.

3. DIY Faux Cement Ball Vases

Plant holders are perfect for starting a small garden that can be controlled.

It can be quite annoying to deal with a ton of weeds and excessive insects when you’re dealing with a lot of ground covered by sand, grass, and plants.

4. DIY Concrete Planter Vases

What I particularly like about these cement vases is that they can double as garden planters or decorative pieces for your home.

With a bit of paint of gemstones, you could turn them into exquisite pieces that won’t cost you more than a few bucks to make.

5. Concrete And Cobble Stone Pathway

Long before we decided to cement and tar our driveway, we had to deal with a ton of maintenance because the grass would grow too fast, when it rained we couldn’t avoid getting our shoes and tires caked in mud and the number of snakes we had to deal with was far too scary.

Enter cement and stone pathways. A one-off solution to all of these problems that looks epic and doesn’t require much maintenance at all.

6. DIY Concrete Garden Globes

In contrast to a concrete jungle, when all you have is brown and greenery all over, it might be a good idea to shake things up with a decorative piece that is durable and mouldable like this cement garden globe.

7. DIY Concrete Pumpkin Fall Decor Project

8. Leaf Embossed Concrete Fountain

This concrete fountain is not just a decor idea but also doubles as a bird feeder. The addition of leaf embossings just adds to the overall beauty of this project.

It’s a must-have if you want to make a significant improvement to your garden.

When it comes to combining functionality, practicality, affordability, and beauty, this roped concrete beverage cooler does all of the above and is a lifesaver, especially during the summer.
