3 Quick Ways to Increase Your Backyard’s Appeal
Your backyard is more than the space behind your home. This space is an extension of your home and it’s the spot where you create memories with your family for years to come. As important as this space is, I know how easy it is to neglect it when life gets in the way. But increasing your backyard’s charm shouldn’t be a daunting task. In fact, here are 3 quick ways you can increase your backyard’s appeal today.
The first quick way to increase your backyard’s appeal is by adding landscape lighting. Not only are landscape lights practical, but they can sure add to your space’s ambiance at night. If you find yourself hanging out at night time in your backyard I highly suggest getting some landscape lights installed. There are various different lighting options to choose from depending on what you currently have in your backyard. The 3 most common landscape lights are: spotlights, lamp lights/ path lights, and ledge lights. (Each link provided will lead you to Google Images so you can further explore the possibilities of each option). Another landscape lighting option that is gaining popularity in the last few years are recessed lights that are installed directly into the floor of either a brick paver patio or a composite deck. These are super cool and probably my favorite choice. If you are interested in learning more about these I suggest checking them out at In-lite’s website.
The second quick way to increase your backyard’s appeal is by adding a fire pit. Adding a firepit to your backyard is one feature you can be sure your family will love to use and enjoy. Whether you choose to install a permanent one or portable, wood-burning or natural gas, - the memories you make around the fire will be priceless.

The third quick way to increase your backyard’s appeal is by adding a water feature. Not only are water features pleasant to look at, but the sound they create with flowing water is sure to turn your backyard into a sanctuary. For some who happen to live nearby busy roads or noisy neighbors water features can be installed with the sole purpose to drown out that unwanted noise. Furthermore, for any animal lovers, water features can also attract wildlife such as birds, butterflies, and dragonflies. There are plenty water features to choose from ranging from a simple portable bird bath to a custom built waterfall - the options are endless.
By incorporating any of the three landscaping elements (landscape lighting, a firepit, or a water feature) into your backyard, you can be sure its appeal will increase.
