Landscaping Ideas for a Large Lawn

1. Install a Large Patio

Installing a large patio in your yard is one of the easiest ways to take up space, create a lower-maintenance lawn, and have a beautiful place to spend time outside. You can entertain groups of people, host holiday celebrations, or enjoy a family dinner in the yard. There are many different options and designs that you can choose from for a patio, including combining it with an outdoor kitchen. 


2. Use Flagstones to Create Curves

Creating curves is a great way to take up more space in the yard and leave less grass area that you have to take care of. Consider using flagstones to mark out a curvy garden around the edges of the lawn or add a retaining wall if your yard is on a slope. This way you can have less grass, more space to walk, and more flowers and plants.


3. Add Water Features

Whether you want a fountain that flows through the yard or a birdbath centerpiece, a water feature creates a relaxing and serene backyard experience. They don't require much care except when the seasons change, so you can sit back and enjoy most of the year. Even installing a pool is a great idea in a bigger yard.
