If you are looking for backyard ideas, something completely different and unexpected in your backyard, a Zen garden may be your solution.

A Zen garden is an enclosed garden, contains gravel or sand and rocks. The rocks are of different sizes and shapes and are often within circles of moss and sometimes on a mound of pebbles.
