A backyard is place where you and your family and friends can get together to spend quality time. It shouldn’t become the part of your home you avoid, either because it has nothing to offer or because of the amount of maintenance it needs to keep it looking presentable. Here are five landscaping features we recommend to improve the look of your backyard and inspire hours of fun family bonding time.
Fire Pit
Who doesn’t love a good s’more night? Building a fire pit will give your family a place to spend evenings cuddled up and toasting marshmallows. A fire pit is the perfect way to warm up your yard and entice people to spend time in a space that normally lacks any aesthetic appeal or charming qualities.
Patio/ Deck
If you are looking to create an area where the family can get together for barbecues and other festivities, then a patio or deck is a must – especially if you plan to spend a lot of time outside. Not only is it a great space for entertaining, but it’s also perfect for quiet evenings with a book and a tall glass of lemonade. Add patio furniture to your patio or deck to make it the most comfortable spot outside of your living room!
Fountain
A fountain can create different feels for your backyard depending on how you execute them. A fountain with symmetrical sides, squares or bamboo can give off a feeling of Zen and tranquility, while a sculpture fountain could be just what you need to bring a sense of elegance to your backyard.
Outdoor Lights
Done right, decorative lighting strategically placed around the yard can make your yard seem playful and whimsical – perfect for those romantic evenings or campouts with the kids. As an added bonus, exterior lighting also improves the safety of your outdoor space once the sun goes down.
Artificial Grass
If your yard is looking a little down in the dumps and you want a quick pick-me-up that will last years, then artificial grass is the solution you need. An artificial grass installation will give your yard the bright, cheerful atmosphere you’ve been looking for, without all the weekend lawn chores you’ve come to dread.
