Backyard Woes

Is your backyard filled with junk like old appliances, children’s play sets, or lawn furniture? We can help. This spring let’s make your junk-filled backyard a night time oasis. Many homeowners forget that new home buyers often purchase a home based on the outside appearance. We understand that it is hard to envision this when there is so much clutter, but underneath it all there is a new place for entertaining and celebrating.

The first step after clearing a space should be planning what you want your new space to look like. Do you want a fire pit, a grill, pool, or maybe even a spot to build a deck? All of these things are possible; you don’t know what you are missing!

Designing an outdoor space with shrubs, flowers, fountains, and trees are essential to make your space feel unique and beautiful. This spring go to a nursery and find a theme in flora that you would like to incorporate and run with it, but make sure to stick with your theme. You don’t want a palm tree next to a pine!

Your next purchase should be furniture, which is exciting but also can be expensive. Keep in mind what you are going to use the outdoor space for – are you going to be entertaining, cooking, or creating a romantic oasis? All of these ventures would require different types of furniture, so chose wisely. Don’t forget – to make this makeover possible, you have to get  rid of your junk!
