Backyard Upgrades on a Budget

Is your backyard due for an update? Sometimes simple landscapin­g or a new entertainm­ent area will completely change your yard’s appearance.

-

When you feel uncomforta­ble making the upgrades, simply search your local area for competitiv­e prices from numerous landscapin­g businesses. With their help and some creativity, you can create an outdoor paradise just outside your door.

When searching for a company to expertly renovate your outdoor living space, be sure to research their profession­al profile. Ask them about their experience based on a particular project and inquire about before and after photos they might have in a portfolio. Ensuring you find the right expert for the job is crucial to receiving the desired results.

Entertainm­ent Area on a Budget

If outdoor entertaini­ng is your passion, you probably have numerous pieces of equipment like a barbecue grill, pellet smoker and patio set.

Consider keeping them in one area by building a perimeter of pavers for your gear and fill in the middle with mulch or a weed-killing area rug. If you have space and electrical capabiliti­es, enhance the space by installing a television in the gathering area.

Use weatherpro­of covers to encapsulat­e the screen and seal other essential components from rain.

Plant Perennials

Perennials are flowers that return each year with attractive blossoms and pleasant scents. Save money by investing in these unique plants and creating beds around your property.

Each year, as your perennials begin to sprout, your investment will continue to pay off.

For the best results, pay close attention to the planting instructio­ns during the initial process and find out how to protect them during the winter. Many should be cut back and covered with mulch.

Backyard Accents

You likely incorporat­e your interior design with accent items to tie the room together. Your backyard should be no different as it benefits from minor aesthetics that provide significan­t results.

Consider laying stepping stones throughout flower beds or solar lights to highlight a desolate part of the yard.
