If you like your backyard but want to love it, or if you’re planning to host lots of parties this summer, consider making some changes. These ways to bring your backyard to the next level can serve as inspiration as you draw up your grand plans.
Install a Sound System
Hook up some Bluetooth speakers around your patio area that are compatible with your phone. That way, when you want to add dance beats to a party or ambiance to a relaxing morning, high-quality sound is at your fingertips.
Upgrade Your Hot Tub
If you’ve already got somewhere to soak in your backyard, consider getting more high-tech with it. Some tubs even have Bluetooth capabilities so you can play music or podcasts. If you’re downright bored with your basic hot tub, consider upgrading to a swim spa; it offers the best features of both a hot tub and a swimming pool.
Make It a Secret Garden
A classic wooden or chain-link fence is a common and practical choice to enclose your space. However, a row of lush green arborvitae trees will add color and make your yard feel like your own personal Versailles. And since arborvitae are both tall and wide, they can provide even more privacy than a traditional fence.
Add a Fire Pit
Get the feel of a cozy backyard bonfire with an upscale touch by installing a smokeless fire pit. The fuel comes from a pipe that funnels propane gas into the pit, so you don’t have to worry about throwing more firewood on it. Arrange some comfy outdoor chairs around the pit and enjoy the warmth in effortless style.
Make your backyard the top destination for parties, cookouts, and cozy evenings in by adding a few bold touches. These are only a few ways to bring your backyard to the next level, but the possibilities are endless. Take time this summer to make your space the best it can be.
