Top backyard must-haves

TOP BACKYARD MUST-HAVES
Backyards are an afterthought for many homeowners. However, taking advantage of that outdoor space is a smart way to make your home more functional and give yourself a real oasis where you can relax. If you have been planning on extending your living space and fully embracing your garden there are some things that every yard should have to make the zone more enjoyable. Putting in time and effort to transform your backyard can significantly increase the value of your home and the enjoyment that you get from your home.

The top backyard must-haves for every property include:

A patio

Adding a patio to your house will give you the space you need to entertain family and friends or just hang out and enjoy the outdoors. A custom deck will also add a lot of value to your home and give you the perfect spot for picnics, bbq’s, and other gatherings. When you’re having a custom patio designed for your home, be sure to incorporate different areas for outdoor activities so that you can get the most out of those backyard spaces.

A hammock
There is nothing quite like relaxing outdoors in a hammock on a sunny summer afternoon. Hammocks come in a large range of styles and sizes so you can find one that’s perfect for you alone, or one that will accommodate the entire family. Hammocks are prefect for naps because the gentle rocking motion will help you get a restful sleep. Furthermore, relaxing in a hammock can actually help increase your focus while decreasing stress.

A fire pit
According to some interior decorators, a fire pit is a hot topic. They are ideal for a gathering spot for the family and can be used all year long. Enjoy roasting marshmallows on evenings with the kids or sitting outside on a cool fall night with some hot cider or hot chocolate. Most homeowners are surprised by how much they use a fire pit once they have one installed. Custom fire pits can be made to fit into any size backyard, so even if you have a small backyard you can be one of those lucky people who own one to enjoy whenever you wish.

A garden
Gardening is very therapeutic, so starting your own flower or veggie garden can become a fun hobby that will provide lots of fresh flowers or healthy vegetables for you and your family to enjoy. If you don’t have a large backyard for a full garden patch, you can have a container area built into your yard with custom made gardening boxes for plants.  

Sitting spots
Seating is the key to making your backyard living area super inviting and cozy. Don’t skimp when it comes to outdoor seats. There are some awesome patio sets you can buy to create a separate dining area outdoors but be sure to also have outdoor sofas and big comfy chairs designed for relaxing or curling up with a book on.
​
Outdoor kitchen or grilling area
Creating an outdoor cooking area is a fantastic way to get the most out of your backyard. A custom-built outdoor kitchen isn’t as expensive as it might sound. Adding a covered area with a grill, small fridge, and prep area can transform your whole space. Summer barbecues will only get better and better.

It's great that you elaborated on considering the length of the area for your patio. I have a cousin who is hoping to have custom patios to have a place for our family gatherings and asked me if I have any idea what is the best option to do. Thanks to this helpful article, I'll be sure to tell him that he can consult a trusted custom patios company as they can answer all his inquiries.
