Backyard Beautification Projects
With summer just around the corner, are you dreaming of a backyard oasis?
These projects can transform your outdoor space into the perfect summer retreat.
Install a Patio
Whether you lay your own pavers or hire a professional to pour concrete, adding a patio creates an ideal outdoor gathering space.
Bring in Some Shade
Block the intense summer sun with a gazebo or pergola. Both options add beauty to your backyard while offering a shady place to relax.
Build a Garden Shed
A shed is a smart way to add storage for yard tools, lawn mowers and more. For a cohesive look, choose a style and color that complement your home.
Light the Way
Landscape lighting adds elegance and provides safety. Consider installing LED lights to illuminate walkways, stairs and landscape features.
Create a Rain Garden
A beautiful rain garden can be a low-maintenance addition to your yard. Rainwater from a downspout can be channeled into a shallow depression in the ground filled with native plants.
Include a Privacy Fence
If you can easily peer into your next door neighbor's yard, they can likely see into yours. A privacy fence adds interest and beauty while limiting your neighbor's view of your outdoor space.
Install a Hammock
Enjoy the tranquility of your yard in a relaxing hammock. If you don't have appropriately spaced trees, consider building or purchasing a hammock stand.
Fire It Up
A fire pit or table can be a functional focal point that encourages your family to spend more time outdoors, even as summer's warmth begins to fade.
