Finally we are enjoying some beautiful, warm weather—do you plan on spending a lot of time outside this summer? Relaxing outside with a cold drink after a long day at the office and hosting a bar-b-que on the weekends?

Your backyard can be a good space to do that but why not make it a great space by creating an outdoor living room? Many people wish they had more privacy in their backyard. There’s nothing worse than going out onto your deck and having to share every moment with your neighbor next door as you look over at them. Create privacy in your backyard with landscaping.

You can accomplish this using softscaping with shrubs, trees and flowers. Using a combination and layering of these plants will give you a natural screen with year round interest.

Hardscaping with sitting walls and paver patios can give you a place to sit and enjoy. Adding fire pits, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces and pergolas finish it off, giving you a functional, private and beautiful outdoor space you can refer to as your “Outdoor Living Room”.
