Spring is here and things are growing and opening and changing and blooming. It is time to get outside and be a part of a new beginning and a fresh start. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a front row seat to nature's glory and splendor? This experience is waiting for you. All you have to do is walk through the door… into your own backyard. Creating a beautiful outdoor space and experience will enhance your enjoyment of this wonderful season and provide a place to enjoy friends and family in a beautiful, natural setting.
Many may dream of having their very own islands. A luxury that is possible without even boarding a plane. The bridge and sunken area of this island give a feeling of settling down into relaxation after a long day. It is perfect for enjoying the company of others while sitting together around the fire with a glass of wine. Here is the chance to get in a pool and not worry about messing up your hair.
Crossing a bridge is the beginning of a new adventure. The anticipation of what is on the other side is both fun and exciting. Give your guests the feeling of discovery as they cross over into the beauty that awaits them. It can continue into a lush garden, a lounging area, a refreshing pool or an inviting kitchen. The bridge can also be a stopping place for homecoming pictures, a kite launch, even wedding vows. Enjoying the view from a highpoint makes a bridge a perfect addition as well.
Spring is not complete without wildlife. A pond adds a unique and peaceful experience that creates a relaxing environment. Incorporating a pond into your landscape provides both sights and sounds that encourage peaceful feelings and inner calmness. Having a whole ecosystem is fun to watch and a perfect place to catch tadpoles for the kids’ or grandkids’ classrooms. A stream with smooth river rocks provides another natural water source. Take off your shoes and delight in being a kid again.
A backyard isn’t just for relaxation. Whether it be a basketball, tennis or pickleball court, there is sure to be some healthy competition and a great workout taking place there. Family and friends of all ages can enjoy reliving their glory days or engaging in a Fourth of July tournament with the neighbors. Get out there and show them what you’ve got! A wonderful spot to blow off steam after a hard day or challenge the kids to a game of PIG (also known as disguised conversation with a teenager).
Even smaller areas offer an opportunity for an intimate space in the outdoors. Complete with lush plants and crawling vines, your hideaway can be a place to get lost in a good book with a cup of coffee on a cool spring morning. What a wonderful setting for a book club, a dinner party, ladies Bunco night or poker night with the big game on in the background.
