Backyard Playground Ideas - A backyard can serve a number of purposes: a place to go to the garden, to play or to sit. Appropriate landscaping will complement your family's special wishes to the backyard. For backyards with playgrounds, landscaping must not only make room for the kids to romp and run, but it should please the adults' sense of beauty, seamlessly combining the playground with other parts of the farm.
If your idea of a beautiful garden is incompatible with the structure of your backyard playground ideas, you may find that the best solution literally running a wall through the backyard. However, it is not necessary to construct any fence posts or stack up any stones. You can create a live partition in your yard by planting hedges, trees and shrubberies along the bottom set lines. On one side of the "wall", you can plant a decorative flower garden or even patio furniture set for picturesque outdoor dining. On the other side, your children can enjoy the thrill of having their own "secret garden."
There are several options to cover the ground directly under your backyard playground ideas. Anyone but the hardiest of grass or ground covers tends to die quickly under the tread of children's feet. If you want to preserve a natural look that harmonizes with a woodsy backyard, you can leave the ground bare. Keep in mind though that if you live in a rainy climate, you must regularly contend with mud. A practical alternative that is ecologically responsible and safe, you can line playground rubber mulch.
