A beautifully designed landscape plan and outdoor living blue print can not only significantly increase your home’s aesthetic appeal, but it can also create a perfect relaxation and/or entertainment space. First, you’ll need to start with a well-planned backyard landscape design. You may want to try some of these gorgeous and stand-out landscaping ideas.
A modern patio – You may want to consider wood or stone for your modern patio. If you enjoy your backyard amenities, like soaking in a hot tub, this is the perfect place to build your patio for the ultimate relaxation spot. For a pop of color, consider adding luscious greenery and shrubs around, or within the patio. Do you have a tree in your yard that you love? Does it create the ultimate shaded spot? Consider building a patio around the tree for a truly unique and modern design.- Pergola or covered deck – Creating an architecturally unique pergola or covered deck not only makes for the perfect spot for entertaining, but it also increases your home value. A covered deck can help create shade for outdoor comfort, as well as protect against rain. Consider adding a fireplace to add to the cozy feel, or even cover the pergola with flowers for additional enhancement.
- Water feature – Water features can really help to set your backyard apart from other homes in the neighborhood. This could be a fountain in the center of an intimate garden, or a large koi pond with a waterfall.
- Sculpted hedges – Sculpted hedges can create a clean and structured look. They can also serve to provide a privacy line. Incorporating stones and/or stone pathways within the structured shrub section can create an illusion of a bigger, more extravagant yard. Boxwoods are great for creating this structured design and are also low maintenance and deer resistant.
- Large garden – A large and colorful garden can add a beautiful pop of color and elegance to any yard. Consider a walkway within your garden, or a fountain (as mentioned above) to really enhance the beauty of this feature.
Fire pit – Imagine a cool summer night, cold enough for a sweatshirt, but also warm enough to enjoy the outside. A fire pit is a great addition to your outdoor entertainment area. Consider a large fire pit built from stones and a comfortable seating area surrounding the pit for a more rustic look. If you prefer a modern style, consider a large copper pot for your fire pit with industrial seating surrounding it on your patio area.
If you are considering a complete backyard remodel, you may want to include one or more of these landscaping ideas to truly bring your backyard to life. Create a vacation spot in the comfort of your own home, or a zen oasis with a soothing and beautiful water feature.
