5 Easy Ways to Upgrade Your Landscaping This Season
Is your yard looking a little tired? Boost your curb appeal, or simply refresh your backyard! Upgrading your landscaping doesn’t have to be overwhelming — or expensive. At Haney Builders Supplies, we’ve got everything you need to transform your outdoor space with simple, effective projects with some exciting sales!
Here are 5 easy ways to level up your landscape, using mulch, fencing, pavers, patio stones, and stain.
1. Refresh Your Garden Beds with Mulch
Let’s start with one of the easiest wins: mulch. It not only gives your garden a neat, finished look, but also helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and keep weeds at bay.
Tip: Choose a rich black or cedar mulch to contrast against green plants and highlight flowers. If you’re going for a more natural woodland vibe, a bark mulch or nugget blend looks fantastic. Another great option is lava rock.
Project idea: Outline your flowerbeds with fresh mulch, and tuck a few solar-powered lights along the edges to create a cozy evening glow.

2. Add Privacy and Style with a Fence Upgrade
A fence does more than mark property lines — it defines your space, offers privacy, and even adds visual appeal. Whether you're building from scratch or updating an older fence, this is a project that can instantly boost the value of your yard.
Options we carry:
-
Pre-fab cedar panels for fast installation
-
Pressure-treated posts and planks for long-lasting structure
-
Decorative lattice tops for a polished finish
Pro tip: If you’re not ready for a full fence replacement, just replacing a few broken boards or adding a fresh coat of paint or stain (more on that below!) can do wonders.

3. Invest in the Right Landscaping Tools
Don’t waste time struggling with dull shears or a broken shovel. The right tools can turn a frustrating job into a satisfying afternoon project.
Our most popular landscaping tools include:
-
Long-handled garden spades for digging and edging
-
Heavy-duty wheelbarrows for moving soil, mulch, or gravel
-
Adjustable rakes for leaf cleanup and soil leveling
-
Hand trowels and cultivators for flowerbed detail work
Pro tip: Keep your tools clean and store them in a dry place to extend their life — or stop by for a new set if yours are on their last legs.

4. Create a Gathering Space with Patio Stones and Pavers
Want to take your yard from “meh” to “wow”? Patio stones are the way to go. They’re versatile, easy to install, and can help you define outdoor living zones without the cost of poured concrete.
Project idea: Lay a small stone patio beneath your BBQ or firepit area using interlocking pavers or flagstone. Add some outdoor furniture, string lights, and a few potted plants for a picture-perfect setup. Check out our DIY firepit by Jake.
Bonus: We also carry gravel, sand, and all the leveling materials you’ll need to get it right the first time.

5. Finish with Stain for a Fresh Look
Whether it’s your fence, deck, or garden furniture, a coat of outdoor stain goes a long way in giving everything a clean, updated look — and protects the wood from rain, sun, and wear.
Choose from rich cedar tones, modern greys, or deep walnut stains, depending on your outdoor aesthetic. We carry everything from transparent finishes that show off the wood grain to solid-color stains for maximum coverage.
Tip: Don’t forget your brushes, rollers, and tape — we have those too!
