Reclaimed Wood Garden Edging
The easiest way to reuse some old wood in your garden is to make garden bed edging. You will need just to get some wooden slabs or slats and use them to form edges.

Reclaimed Wood Garden Paths
A garden path can be made of wood, too! Of course, you can just place some wooden slats on the ground but there are more refined ways to use wood. First of all, you can build a layered path of gravel or pebbles and wood on top, surround it with lights, decor and other stuff. Second, you can form wooden pavers to cover the path. Third, you can place the whole pallet right on the ground, and it will be a ready raised path. Sealing is necessary if you don’t want harsh weather conditions to destroy your paths.
