Backyard Transformation
Because a nice backyard improves aesthetics and your home’s value.
Nothing ruins a sunny day faster than a backyard that’s too ugly to enjoy. Plus, a gnarly yard dings your home value, making it a double bummer.
Poorly planned backyards usually result in big, boring spaces that don’t add any value to your home and miss the opportunity to create love and freedom in a key family area.
Landscaping an entire backyard is pricey, but you’ll likely get all (or more) of the money back when you sell.
Grass looks nice, but if mowing and seeding aren’t your thing, it’ll turn more gross than green. An attractive mix of hardscape and low-maintenance plants is money in the bank and gives you more living time, too.
Fewer hours mowing mean more hours sipping cocktails on that fab patio.
With a little research, inspiration and planning, dull backyards can be converted into feature areas for eating, entertaining, relaxing and gardening. The backyard should be versatile and meet family needs. Big backyards provide a brilliant blank canvas to exhibit some creative flair by designing what could be the most used space in the home.
Whether you’re creating a zoned garden where children can play in a safe environment or building an upmarket entertainer, the key is to value your land like the banks do and make smart decisions that respect the value this land brings to your home.
Pavers are a great choice for landscaping stepping stone paths leading up to the entertaining area. “While I love stepping stones separated by pebbles or turf for paths, the foundation pavement should be a solid area which can house your dining and relaxing furniture as well as any shading or barbecue equipment.
If you have children, a backyard provides an opportunity to create an outdoor place where kids can play safely, so take advantage and start planning your kid friendly yard.
One of the best benefits of a backyard transformation is plant selection that can become the focal point of the garden. In bigger yards, the risk of larger feature trees dominating the area and creating an excess of unwanted shade is reduced. You can also use larger hedging to block out your nosy neighbours until you send out invitations for your next backyard barbecue.
