6 Outdoor Features That Will Take Your Backyard to the Next Level

Having a backyard can be like having a little piece of heaven all to yourself. It’s your little corner of nature that you can cultivate however you please. Odds are you’ve been spending more time in your backyard lately, especially with the current pandemic situation. If all that time has you thinking your yard could use an upgrade and you’re interested in taking your small slice of paradise to the next level, consider adding some awesome outdoor features that will make it really stand out.

An Outdoor Koi Pond

Koi ponds are beautiful additions to a backyard. Essentially a swimming pool for fish, the traditional koi pond lacks the slope or steps common to a regular swimming pool or water garden. This helps keep the fish safe from predators. Regular koi pond maintenance promotes the health of the fish and the cleanliness of the pond. Many people find that having a koi pond in their backyard brings an added sense of peace and tranquility. The brightly colored fish often become beloved, low maintenance pets that can be mesmerizing to watch. Adding a koi pond to your home can also have a positive impact on your home’s market value. Many times people are willing to pay more for a home that has a koi pond than they would for the same home without one.

A Fire Pit

Summertime is often associated with camping and campfires. If the pandemic has you uneasy about camping, you can bring the camping experience to your own backyard by adding a fire pit. Having a fire pit in your own backyard can be great for rustic outdoor cooking. It can also make your yard more cozy all year long, even if you live in an area that gets snow in the winter. Fire pits can improve the ambience of your yard too. Few things are as mesmerizing as staring into open flames. If you choose this backyard addition, make sure you are familiar with proper safety protocol. Prioritizing safety is what lays the foundation for having fun.

A Deck

Decks are great spaces to host parties in your backyard. If you were into party hosting before the pandemic hit, but didn’t have a deck to host them on, adding one now might be the perfect way to prepare for your next one. If you have extra time on your hands, building a deck might be a good way to use some of it up. Otherwise, there are plenty of professionals who can do it for you. Once you have your deck built, add some outdoor furniture and decorations to make the space comfortable for yourself and others. You can make this as simple or as intricate as you want. It all depends on the look and feel you’re going for. Take the climate in which you live into consideration when choosing deck furnishings. It won’t do to spend all that time, money, and effort only to have it all ruined by the weather.

An Outdoor Kitchen

If you’ve picked up cooking or baking as a hobby, adding an outdoor kitchen to your backyard can be a fun option. An outdoor kitchen can be placed on a patio or a new deck and can be a great addition that brings family and friends together. While the cost to add an outdoor kitchen can fluctuate depending on how elaborate it is, it can add significant value to your home and be worth the cost. When designing your kitchen, keep functionality in mind. You should have adequate counter space, the appliances you are likely to use, and good lighting that will keep your food preparation area well lit whether you are cooking during the day or at night.

A Putting Green

If you love golf, a putting green might be the perfect addition to your backyard. This can be a great option if you aren’t able to visit your favorite golf course or just need to practice to improve your short game. If you have a smaller yard, don’t worry. You can still have a putting green. It might not be as extensive as one in a larger yard, and you may have to limit the features and obstacles you add, but you can still design a green that will allow you to have a good time. There are multiple benefits to adding a putting green. Like many other awesome features, it can improve the value of your home. It will also make your home stand out from others in your neighborhood, elevating it and giving it more of a luxury feel. And, of course, it gives you a chance to get out, get some sun and fresh air, and practice a bit of golf whenever you like.

A Gazebo

If you want to give your backyard a timeless, elegant feel, consider adding a gazebo. Gazebos can be a great place from which to enjoy the outdoors and nature. The roof provides shelter from excessive sun and precipitation, while it’s open structure creates an open, breezy, light environment that is perfect for relaxing outside. If you are an avid reader, this might be an ideal addition that allows you to read your favorite books outside in a comfortable setting. If you’re a fan of movies, you can try hanging a screen from the gazebo to create an outdoor theater setting, or you can convert the gazebo into a theater for a home theater outside of your home. If gardening is your hobby, you can use it as a greenhouse, a place to hang or set various planters, or use it as a structure for plants to grow up on. You might also consider using it as a source of income by renting it out for events.

There are lots of outdoor features you can add to your backyard. Doing so will give your yard personality, and many will increase the value of your home and property. Whatever option you choose, consider the cost and maintenance, as well as the impact it will have on your yard’s aesthetic. Your backyard is your space. You should make it your own.

10 Easy Tips for a Healthy Lawn

Having a healthy and green lawn can make a big difference in the looks of your property. It will increase your curb appeal and is more visually pleasing to enjoy during the spring and summer months. Here are ten easy tips for taking better care of your lawn.

 

  1. Clean Up Debris
    Gently rake any leaves that were left behind from last fall as well as any areas that have been weighed down by rain and snow to lift the grass back up.
  2.  

  3. Dethatch and Aerate your Lawn
    Dethatching and aerating your lawn will allow vital air and nutrients to get to the roots of the grass. Aeration will also loosen up compact soil and break through your lawn’s thatch layer allowing it to breathe and grow.
  4.  

  5. Seeding your Lawn
    Seeding or over seeding your lawn by using a premium high quality seed. You can re-pply yearly or even multiple times per year if needed in areas where you have bare spots or heavy traffic where your lawn is thinning out.
  6.  

  7. Sharp Mower Blades
    A sharp mower blade will produce a cleaner cut which will help the grass blade heal quickly after it is mowed to prevent any lawn diseases. Dull mower blades tear the grass and leave jagged edges exposing the grass to diseases. GreenWise crews sharpen their mower blades daily to give your lawn the best cut possible.
  8.  

  9. Trim and Edge your Lawn
    Trimming your lawn with a gas trimmer and power edger will help to tidy up your lawn’s edges giving it a cleaner, more finished look. Trimming and edging of all concrete areas will be performed as part of your lawn care service.
  10.  

  11. Fertilize your Lawn and Be Patient
    Generally you’ll want to apply fertilizer in the fall. Take care not to put excess amounts of fertilizer on your lawn. You’ll need to be patient and wait for your lawn to become green and healthy. Using too much fertilizer will burn your lawn and leave you with a bigger problem to deal with. Using an organic lawn food may be slower acting than regular synthetic fertilizer, but you will benefit with a healthier lawn.
  12.  

  13. Weed Treatment
    For a weed-free lawn it’s best to prevent weeds by applying a pre-emergent herbicide early on in the season to tackle weeds before they sprout. If it’s too late, you can try using a post-emergent herbicide that is designed to kill growing weeds.
     
  14. Water your Lawn
    Water your lawn regularly or install an irrigation system if you don’t have time to water with a hose and sprinklers. Try to maintain consistent moisture in the soil of your lawn rather than over watering for long periods of time. Your lawn only needs approximately 1-2 inches of water per week-depending to survive.
     
  15. Check for Insect Damage
    If you notice yellow spots in your lawn around mid-summer, you probably have an insect issue. You can treat your lawn with many natural pesticides or you can purchase chemical insecticides at your local big box store store.
