3 Ways You Can Turn a Backyard Into a Summer Oasis!
Summer is fast approaching, and many homeowners are looking for ways to turn their backyards into perfect summer spots. Luckily, there are several ways to do this, and they don’t have to break the bank. These tips range from involved to done-in-a-weekend. And with the help of a home solutions company, homeowners can rest easy knowing the job is done right. So read on to find out how to turn a backyard into a summer oasis!
Deck Repair or Replacement for Outdoor Fun
A warped, damaged, or too-small deck can limit the options for outdoor get-togethers. Warped or damaged decks can be a safety issue, causing guests to trip. And those with kids may find themselves digging splinters out of little feet if the deck is wooden. Plus, backyard barbecues can be hard when there’s not enough room on the deck for a table, chairs, and a grill or smoker.
Whether the deck needs repair or it’s bad enough to warrant replacement, there are plenty of options. Sometimes repairing a deck is just a matter of a little sanding, a few replacement boards, and a fresh coat of finish. The right handyman can get this done in a couple of days, depending on the size of the deck. Replacing a deck isn’t quite as quick, but newer materials are available that will allow homeowners to install a deck that will last 15 to 20 years without constant repairs.
Enjoy Family Cookouts With an Outdoor Kitchen
Many homeowners already have a nice deck or patio but are looking to upgrade the facilities. A simple grill is nice, but an outdoor kitchen can move all the conveniences of the modern kitchen outside. For many families, the kitchen is the gathering place of choice. When the weather is nice, this is doubly so for the outdoor kitchen. Combining the fresh air and the sound of chirping birds with a mini-fridge, an oven with a stovetop, and plenty of counter space can turn family gatherings into fun outdoor get-togethers.
When homeowners install a seating area, a pizza stove, a sink, and one of many outdoor kitchen options, the outdoor kitchen starts looking even better than the indoor kitchen - which isn’t a bad thing at all!
Add Outdoor Lighting For Dinner Under the Stars
Lastly, outdoor lighting can add much more to the backyard than the sum of its parts. It’s nice to spend a night out under the stars, but natural starlight may not be enough to see by. There are a ton of different outdoor lighting options to choose from.
Mood lighting can turn the backyard into a romantic escape. It can also add a certain unbeatable ambiance to those beautiful summer nights. From string lights and recessed lighting to understated outdoor chandeliers and colored garden lights, homeowners can find a style that is perfect for them.
