This $20 German Schmear Fix Upgraded My Flowerbed

Transform this outdoor space with me as I take on a budget-friendly stone flower bed makeover using the German Schmear technique and a single $20 bag of sanded grout. In this DIY stone repair tutorial, I show how to fill cracks, fix gaps, and smooth out uneven areas in a stone flower bed border to create a clean, modern, cohesive look. This is an easy, beginner-friendly landscaping project perfect for boosting curb appeal on a budget — and trust me, I’m no professional! If I can do it, anyone can. With simple tools, a little elbow grease, and a lot of determination, you can achieve a beautiful, durable finish that transforms your garden or yard.

If you love DIY home improvement, outdoor makeover ideas, landscaping transformations, stone repair hacks, or affordable curb appeal projects, this video will walk you through every step. Whether you’re refreshing your flower bed, updating your backyard, or trying German Schmear for the first time, this project is simple, satisfying, and perfect for beginners.

Stick around until the end for a sneak peek at a few new Christmas decor pieces I picked up for my upcoming holiday decorating video. I’ll be mixing my years of collected decor to create a Cozy Cabin Christmas style — plus adding a few curated new finds inspired by the trending Ralph Lauren Christmas aesthetic.
