Times
like these offer a unique chance to pull a break on everyday hectic routine and
dedicate some time to your own backyard, literally. Due to the global pandemic,
avoiding social interaction and staying at home is the best way of staying
safe, and what better way to use that extra time than to do some backyard
remodeling. I felt quite inspired to do this but I didn’t want to mess things
up so I talked to Pacific
Dreamscapes and they were kind enough to share some ideas:
Add Sprinklers
Groomed
green grass looks beautiful no matter what, but that involves regular work and
care if you want to maintain the out-of-magazine looks. One way to make that
job easier is to install a water sprinkler to regularly water your grass and
keep it green. This little chore can be time-consuming and sometimes you feel
just too lazy, even if you are at home all the time.
Patio Time
May is
here and it’s getting warmer outside which is the perfect time to spend more
time in your backyard and basically move some activities from the house to the
outside. A patio is a great opportunity to organize your entire family to dine
outside which can be a great change of pace from your daily routine and can
even elevate the experience of dining to a new level.
And
with some high quality stone pavers, you can get to any
part of your backyard, including the next item on the list.
The Pool is Always In
If you
have extra space in your backyard but you never really knew how to use it, or
if you ever considered a pool but never really had the courage or will to do
it, now is a perfect time. Summer is approaching and with the current state of
the world, going on a vacation can be risky. Staying at home actually is a
valid option especially if you can spend long hot summer days by your pool
without anyone disturbing you.
Add a Fireplace
You
don’t need to go inside when the sun sets, you can stay warm outside and keep
the party going. A fireplace will ensure you can keep warm and it also adds a
nice note to the exterior design. It can be a focal point of your backyard
where the entire family can gather and spend some time together. Evening hours
by a fireplace in your backyard sounds amazing, and building it can also be an
adventure in itself.
Room for Kitchen
If you
are going to have a fireplace then why not build an
outdoor kitchen to add an extra flavor to the backyard and create
interesting and fun activities which would allow you to spend the entire day in
your backyard, if the weather allows it. The kitchen would also allow the
entire family to gather around and do something, it would be a far cry from
your normal indoor kitchen where only mom or dad are stuck cooking.
Build a Vegetable Garden
There
is something special in growing your own vegetables, they kind of taste better
and the satisfaction of you eating what you made is also magical. It is also
not as expensive as previous ideas and you might even discover a love for this
hobby you never knew existed. You can grow whatever you like, focus on flowers
to make your backyard look even more beautiful or simply grow food, and have
fun with that.
A Treehouse
A fun
activity for your kids or you. What better way to tell your kids to go out and
help you build a treehouse for you all to play. There’s a lot of fun involved
in just building it and there is also the charm it would add to the overall
appearance of the backyard.
