How to Create a Gorgeous Backyard

1. Add a Water Feature

Whether it's a fountain, waterfall, or backyard pond, a water feature helps transform an unimpressive outdoor space into an idyllic retreat. The sound of running water and the glimmer of sunlight on the water's surface create a soothing ambiance. Moreover, a water feature can give your garden a refined centerpiece and increase your property value.


2. Install a Fancy Deck

Even a simple backyard deck gives you an ideal place to entertain guests. But you don’t have to stop at simple.


Consider building a deck with multiple levels or zones. For instance, devote one area to cooking by including an outdoor oven. Install a bar for the adults and leave a section clear for young children to play. Frame each area with comfortable, weather-safe seating and invest in a fire pit to keep your guests warm.


3. Don't Forget Shade

Your backyard retreat will need plenty of shade to combat the heat and sunshine of summer. You can plant leafy trees on your property, but these take a few years to reach a useful height. Other solutions include patio umbrellas on your outdoor dining table or a gazebo that covers a whole section of your yard. You can even install a retractable awning so you can extend it when needed and safely roll it away when it's not in use.
