Full Breakdown 👇 Ie: The most asked question about my DIY Garden Project - How much did it cost?! 👀 Below is a detailed breakdown of everything I used, plus all the ways I saved money, so you can calculate your own costs if you choose to make your own ☺️ Bricks 162 for the large bed 77 for each of the 2 small beds Total 316 bricks x $0.25 total: $79 (I waited all year for the @loweshomeimprovement spring sale to get this price!) Concrete blocks 160 x $2.32 total: $371.20 (You can find these on fb marketplace if you don’t need many) Mortar x2 $ 7.47 total: $14.94 Landscape adhesive x5 $10.98 total: $54.9 Stucco scratch and brown 6x $9.65 total: $57.9 Stucco white topcoat finish coat 4x $25.44 total: $101.76 TOTAL BED BUILD: $679.70 Gravel for the courtyard x8 $5.98 total: $47.84 fence post $15 (I found my old wood beams discarded on my property, perks of a fixer upper 😅) Wood Stain $18.98 (I already had some leftover) Spar urethane $26.98 (leftover) Concrete stain $39.98 (leftover) TOTAL COURTYARD & BRICK STAIN: $148.78 (My cost $47.84) coco coir 10lb blocks x 4 total: $67.96 mushroom compost $4.98 x 8 total: $39.84 Screened soil $70 for 3.5 cubic yard (purchased in bulk to save costs) Mulch free from Chip drop (the majority of my beds were filled with this to cut costs dramatically. It will break down into soil in time) Fertilizer $20 TOTAL SOIL: 197.80 Fountain pebbles $6.34 Pump $29 Pots free (I had mine already but you can find many for free on FB marketplace) TOTAL FOUNTAIN: $35.34 2x Trellis - $65 Iron arbors x2 $195 TOTAL ACCESSORIES: $260 GRAND TOTAL: $1252.62 Whilst this is still a lot of money to spend on a garden, and everyone has different budgets, the beds averaged at around $170 each and will hopefully last a lifetime since they will never rot. I think that’s pretty impressive! 😅 But what do you think, was the cost more or less than you thought?? 😶🌱 Comment “DIY” & I’ll send you a link to the project supplies If you have any more questions leave the in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer them ☺️🫶 RaisedBedGarden GardenBuildDIY BudgetGardenProject DIYCostBreakdown CottageGardenBuild
