We are working on getting our yard ready for summer and this is one of our favorite ideas. I love spending time outdoors but feel like it’s so much less comfortable. Well, not for long! David Sheen over at Rumble Pie has compiled a lovely array of sod lawn sculptures along with the instructions to make our own lawn sofa.
He says: ARCHITECT-ARTIST GREG TATE in Orange County, California has taken the concept of sod sculpture and has placed function over form, creating sod sofas! He came up with the idea of sprouting a couch, creating literal lawn furniture! And he’s been kind enough to share his idea with the world, publishing instructions for how to make a D-I-Y couch that’s covered in clover. It’s pretty simple: basically, just use temporary forms, pack the mud into whatever shape you want, then cover it in chicken wire and rolls of sod. How easy is that? It may seem a little cheesy, but I still want to build one, it looks like tonnes of fun! Could you imagine one of these in your own yard?
Go out there and get your lawn sofa started so you can relax and enjoy soaking up the sunshine and feeling the earth! Add photos of your creation to the comments below.
