The year 2020 has been abnormally difficult.
From the COVID-19 pandemic to economic uncertainties and now killer hornets on the loose, it seems like we can’t catch a break. And now, with news that the summer of 2020 is going to be the hottest one on record, the only thing that’s left to do is to burrow into your home for the next year, convert your backyard into your personal Eden and forget that the rest of the world exists for a while.
But is your home prepared for this hibernation period? More importantly, is your backyard Eden equipped?
Here are some things you can do to upgrade your dull backyard into a comforting, fun oasis!
Tips to Improve Your Backyard
– Install a Fire Feature for the Outdoors
It’s all about investing in your comfort!
For those days outside when you just want to roast some marshmallows by the fireplace, and tell ghost stories with your extended family, invest in a fire pit or a fire table. Although slightly more expensive than your average bonfire, fire features such as these are much safer, easier to install, customizable, and maintain.
Not to mention that they add a certain pizzazz to your backyard décor.
– Invest in a Pool
A kiddie pool in the middle of your green yard will not suit!
You want your home to be prepared in case the heatwave worsens. Having a pool not only takes care of that, but it also adds to your home value as well. Especially if you live in a state like Virginia where you get humid, sub-tropical summers, adding a pool can increase your home’s value by 7 percent, according to the professional pool builders in Sterling, Perfect Pools.
Talk to an experienced pool contractor if you don’t know where to start, and follow their instructions on how you can save on your budget.
– Buy Durable Patio Furniture
You’ll find plenty for an affordable price!
Patio furniture is a must-have if you spend more time outside. Durable, long-lasting, and aesthetically pleasing, patio furniture is specially designed for outdoor use. It adds to your home’s value as well when you consider how it binds the look of your backyard together. Buy a couple of soft couches, a patio umbrella and chaise lounges for the pool. It’ll elevate the look of your backyard.
– Improve Your Gardening Game
Your backyard area needs to be landscaped. Plant some saplings and trees and research on the right shrubs and foliage for the soil type, climate, and area. Order seeds online, and search on YouTube about greenery and flowers that require extra care.
Gardening is already regarded as one of the most beneficial activities to alleviate stress and boredom. Take advantage of it.
Are You Ready?
It’s still early days before the monsoon season starts.
Renovate your backyard and turn it into a summery haven of happiness and peace. It’ll pay you back in the years to come!
