How to Decorate a Lawn That Is All Cement

A cement lawn is a term that is sometimes used to refer to a yard that is paved with cement. The area may need a makeover, which can be achieved by making a few additions and by changing the appearance of the cement itself. Almost any addition that you can make to a grass lawn can also be used for cement lawns. The decorations that you add can bring color and beauty.

Instructions

- 1
  Paint the cement with cement paint. Make sure it is waterproof and designed for the outdoors. You can buy this from a home improvement store. The paint is resistant to bacteria, algae, mold and fungus.
- 2
  Line the edges of the lawn with potted plants. Add bushes to the pots to bring volume and greenery to the lawn. Mix colorful flowers with lush, green shrubbery.
- 3
  Place a swinging bench along an edge of the cement. This will give the area a light and playful feel because of the movement generated by the swing.
- 4
  Place a traditional wood bench on the edge of the lawn area. The wood can distract from the bland look of the cement.
- 5
  Place a patio table and chairs onto the lawn. A table with a colorful umbrella can liven up a cement lawn.
- 6
  Lay ornaments such as gnomes around the plants to add more liveliness to the cement. Place a fountain in the area for a softer tone.
