Backyard design tips

A backyard makeover is not just about changing your landscaping. More than ever, it’s about creating a space that you can live in. Features like a built-in bar and outdoor fireplace will encourage you to spend more time outdoors.

How do you create a living space outdoors?

Any backyard can be transformed with what you love about your indoor rooms — lighting, furnishings, and other decor. And what makes a room, from the floor to the ceiling to the walls, is also important to consider.

To get started on your project, all you need to do is look down. Do you have patchy grass or an overgrowth of weeds? You need to prepare the earth for the project, whether it’s reseeding or leveling it out with a roller.

You want to make sure that the ground is properly solid and level, especially if you are installing a hot tub. A small concrete pad, surrounded by pea gravel or another natural material can blend in with your existing landscape.

Planting for privacy and outdoor structures, like a pergola, can also make you backyard feel more like a living space.
