Perk Up Your Outdoor Space During the Pandemic

While we patiently await a time when we can more comfortably and safely enjoy public spaces as more people receive COVID-19 vaccines and with spring on the way, now is the perfect time to make a plan to beautify your home’s outdoor space to enjoy now and for years to come.

Hardscaping Possibilities

Hardscaping is the landscaping work that deals with materials other than live plants. Think: stone, brick, timber, concrete and metal. It is an essential pairing that complements lush greenery. Hardscaping adds form and function, helping to shape and organize your space. Envision winding stone walkways through your flower garden, a stone bench placed by a relaxing water fountain, even the surround around a backyard pool or fence and gate enclosure.

Hardscaping also includes the building of a great patio, or even steps to the front of your home. It can truly elevate your home’s first impression, or street value. After your hardscaping project is finished, you’ll want to decorate it with the furnishings of your choice — rocking chairs, barbecue grills, etc. to make it your own.

Pretty Pergolas & Fire Pits

Want to be able to enjoy your space regardless of the weather? Consider installing a pergola — a structure consisting of columns that support a roofing grid. The roofing could be partially or fully enclosed, whichever you prefer. It can be freestanding or can attach to your home and can help to provide shade or complete weather protection from above.

Fire pits are popular hardscaping projects that can be enjoyed year-round. Picture you and your loved ones gathering and telling stories, roasting marshmallows and laughing — all in the comfort of your own backyard space.

Hire a Professional
