I love concrete in the garden. It’s such an organic material that blends well with nature, yet it holds up over time, and only improves it’s looks with age. It’s inexpensive, and can be bought in ready made forms, or created by mixing with water and other organic elements. Grow a little moss on it, and you will have me swooning… So given a choice, if I can’t have a natural element such as stone or wood…give me concrete! Here are our fav DIY concrete garden projects gathered from around the web. Our featured project, above – Give you garden structure with this DIY concrete edging project.
And of course, we have our very own DIY concrete globes project from last season… Anyone tried this yet?
Upcycled Garden Style created these outdoor planters from concrete pavers and caulking adhesive. These are so simple, they’re brilliant! Can’t wait to try this out! Remember to check out the caulking you use and make sure its warm enough outside for it to harden and cure.
Martha tells us how to use the age old technique of hypertufa to create cool planters that make great garden accents.
The Hunted Interior has a great tutorial on how she made this cinder block planter… hers also happened to be an outdoor bar as well! You gotta check out this project…

Check out these great DIY concrete fire columns from In My Own Style that are a Restoration Hardware dupe… complete with all the how-to’s!
