Happy National Lawn Care Month, dear readers. Sure, it’s not the sexiest-sounding month ever, but lawn care and landscaping can be fun, too! Just taking a look at Pinterest, I loved this idea for a low-cost sprinkler, and hey, a bike that’s also a riding lawn mower? That is genius multitasking. But I think my favorite lawn-related find was this DIY sod sofa.

It looks a bit like a wacky Edward Scissorhands-style topiary, but it’s actually solid enough to sit on, as the picture demonstrates. Heck, I think you could even go further and make a sod coffee table and sod ottoman, too! Interested in making your own literal lawn furniture? Check out the DIY instructions here.

    That sofa would be fun to mow! Cute photo. Landscaping is sooo important. A home without it just isn't the same. Yay for lawn care month.

    That bike is a great idea! Do you think we could attach a reel mower to a dirt bike to upgrade to a self-propelled? ;)

    This is definitely a good lawn care month, last year I think most of the nation was still experiencing the lasting effects of winter during April. I know we're celebrating April at Mowers Direct, its been a great start to the mowing season.

    Happy lawn care month!

    Ummm…don't you think blue jeans might be the only thing you would want to wear when sitting on this? I mean-a white based skirt? Sure wouldn't want to wear white! :-)
