Wondering how to get your dream backyard garden and patio and when to start your home improvement project? The weather is warming up, the sun is shining and I am having dreams of sitting on my back deck, watching the girls play with their friends while I finally put that margarita machine to use with my friends.
My backyard garden and patio are much like my house, a fixer-upper. Luckily, the Big Guy doesn’t shy away from DIY home renovations and I have lots of great ideas. This is why we work so well together. To revitalize and clean patios like this, it’s advisable to use a high quality cleaning equipment, like the best pressure washers to buy, for instance.

Currently, our backyard garden and patio are good. The grass is lush, the firepit is welcoming and the deck is clean. We have lots of shade and it’s just a really comfortable space to be in. However, there is no covering on the deck ( we built a pergola and hung drapes at our previous house) and that means no privacy which is a slight issue when the neighborhood walking paths run parallel to your backyard. If this is a problem for you, then you might want to hire professionals from a wood fencing company to build a fence for your backyard.
What would your dream backyard garden and patio look like?
My dream backyard garden and patio would include some kind of coverage and protection from the weather, as well as, some privacy. I’d like something that allowed us to be outside while protected from the mosquitos as well if I’m being honest. I’d like my outdoor living space to be an extension of our indoor living space. I’d like it to be fun, functional and comfortable but stylish. If you were to spruce up your own garden and patio, I would recommend you to opt for the expertise of a london tradesmen because they are deeply knowledgeable in outdoor home improvements.
I love the idea of globe string lights hung throughout the yard or perhaps this spectacular solar spotlight for ambiance. You can get one by visiting Steel Lighting Co. Perhaps some new Adirondack chairs around the fire pit. They make me nostalgic of our summers in Ogunquit and truly that is my happy place. Definitely, need a grill for cooking outdoors. I love the taste of chargrilled food in the summertime. Ample seating for those friends of mine that I plan on hosting for margaritas. Now, all I need to do is some landscape update.

If I’m really dreaming big, a hot tub with all the jets would be a great addition to our family’s yard. We all have muscle aches; between the girls and ballet and the Big Guy and I with all the old age and broken bones and whatnot, a hot tub is a must. I know a hot tub sounds ultra retro but I promise we won’t be getting any lava lamps or water beds any time soon.
There are still a lot of ways to spice up this area. You can also check out these options from RTA Outdoor Living.
