Brian and Sarah show you three ways to spruce up your backyard with planters - patio pavers, tabletop planters and pallet planters. See full written instructions below. Watch full episodes of Backyard Builds on HGTV.ca.

DIY Planters 3 Ways

• A heavy container is great for High Traffic areas, where a lighter one might get knocked over,
• Containers dry out much quicker than plants in the ground, so they require more frequent watering.
• Using moss in your containers is a great way to keep the moisture in and avoid evaporation.
• Every time you water, some of the soils nutrients will drain out, so be sure to fertilize.
• Plant in layers, eg. Think about using cascading plants that hang over the edge of your pots.
