Arizona is known for its beautiful, mild winter weather, and your backyard is the best place to relax and enjoy it. But if you’re feeling less than thrilled with your outdoor space, you may not want to spend your free time there. At Complete Landscaping, we want to help you make the most of your outdoor space. Here are some of our landscapers’ expert tips for transforming your backyard into a private retreat.
Light Up
If you don’t have any wiring or potential connections in your backyard, that’s no problem. It’s easy to light up your yard or patio with string lights or other portable lighting products that can stand up to outdoor weather. You can add outdoor lamps or install sconces on your outdoor surfaces to provide ambient lighting for after dark gatherings. For an eco-friendly way to light your home, try solar powered landscaping lights.
Make a Living Space
Your yard doesn’t have to feel like a backyard. With so many great options for outdoor furniture and decor, you can make your outdoor space feel like a natural extension of your home. Try adding area rugs, couches, chairs, coffee tables, and other homey accents to make your yard feel like another room.
Create Warmth
Not using your yard because of chilly nights? It’s easy to add some warmth. You could add a firepit to easily entertain guests and keep them warm at the same time—plus, everyone loves roasting marshmallows. If a fire pit isn’t your style, you can also invest in a space heater or similar heating appliance that you can put outside.
Add Greenery
You don’t have to have a green thumb to add some greenery to your outdoor space. You can try native plants that don’t need a lot of upkeep but will still look great in planters and vases. Our team at Complete Landscaping can help you choose the right low-maintenance plants or shrubs for your needs.
Install a Patio
If you want more living space, but only have a dirt or grass yard, a patio could be the perfect solution. It’s much easier to decorate and furnish a flat surface, and a patio can also create an aesthetically pleasing oasis to escape to. You could also add other features to your patio, such as an outdoor kitchen, pergola, or firepit, to customize your space even more.
Add a Water Feature
Think you can’t get the relaxing sound of running water in your Arizona backyard? A water feature, such as a fountain or waterfall, can provide a soothing audio backdrop as you relax outside. Plus, it will add some visual interest to your landscaping.
