Relaxing in the backyard is one of the pleasures of home ownership. A well designed backyard creates a multi-functional destination for you and your family. How you use your backyard will depend on family interests and how you live. Outdoor dining and lounging are perhaps the most common backyard activities.
Adding a deck or patio provides a place for everyday meals or entertaining a large group. Be sure to provide shade from the sun when planning outdoor living areas.
Other backyard activities can include a fire pit, children’s play area, pool, hot tub, putting green and vegetable garden. Outdoor projects for the backyard can be as simple or as extensive as your budget will allow. To help with the budget, plan your backyard projects in phases so the cost can be deferred over a longer period of time.
Design your backyard so it fits well with the architecture of your home and surroundings. Adding lighting into your plan will allow you to use your backyard at night. Creating an outdoor living space can be a fun and creative process that adds value to your home.
