Everyone needs to escape sometime. Why not make your lawn into an escape from the ordinary? Here are some ideas for turning your lawn into a luxurious space.
Destination Deck
You can take your existing deck and turn it into a multilevel space with clearly defined areas. Multiple levels give you plenty of room to define spaces such as dining, sitting, and playing. Create deck privacy by installing a pergola and allowing vines to cover it. Not only does your deck become a private space, but it will blend in with the existing landscape.
Outdoor Kitchens
The old of days of BBQ pit cooking in the backyard are gone. Add an outdoor kitchen complete with a prep area, refrigerator, and sink to bring your outdoor cooking to the next level. If you really want to go all out, you can add a bricked-in grill. Comfortable chairs and a spacious table will seal the deal for next outdoor gathering.
Trellises, Arbors, and Gazebos
You have spent a great deal of time and effort on your landscape. Now, it is time to reap the benefits. Adding a trellis, arbor, and/or gazebo to your lawn is a luxury you shouldn’t pass up. Arbors are wonderful for sitting under especially if they are covered with fruit or flowering vines. Gazebos will provide shade and seating and also make a great spot for romantic interludes.
Water, Water Everywhere
A water feature added to your landscape will bring a little noise and nature to your haven. Water features can include something as simple as a fountain to something as elaborate as a reflecting pool. Whichever direction you choose to take, you will be pleased at the beauty a little bit of water carries.
Outdoor Fireplace
Beautiful, brick fireplaces designed for outdoor seating areas make for a unique feature in your outdoor getaway. Place comfortable chairs around it and you have the perfect place to relax with the family after a long day or gather with friends in the evening.
Whatever your preferences, there are many ideas out there from which you can build your living space. Don’t rush into anything. Look around and see what is out there. The only limitation to what you can create for backyard getaway is your imagination.
