Pergolas
A pergola is a an arbor, or archway, that covers an outdoor area. It is usually made up of a wooden slatted roof and sides made of latticework. This space offers a wonderful shaded area to relax. Hanging plants or climbing vines add beauty to this enjoyable structure.
Deck or Patio
A perfect place to grill, dine, play, tan, relax... the list goes on and on. If you choose to incorporate a screened-in area, you can even hang out there in rainy weather. One very important thing to keep in mind when you add on a deck or patio is to make sure the size makes sense with the house and yard size. Don't let it take over your entire grounds or overwhelm the house.Backyard Pond
This is a gorgeous piece of landscaping to incorporate into a yard. The sound and sight of the water are both relaxing. You can add some beautiful water plants to the design. These ponds tend to attract wildlife that is a lot of fun to watch, too.
Fire Pit or Fireplace
With Fall just around the corner, a fire pit is a great addition to any home. The smell of the burning wood, the warmth on a chilly night, and the inevitable S'mores that are sure to happen are all awesome ways to spend an Autumn evening. If you are ambitious, outdoor fireplaces are a step above the usual fire pit.Outdoor Kitchen
If you love both entertaining and being outside, you just may be the perfect person to have an outdoor kitchen. More than just a BBQ grill, these kitchens bring the ability to prepare for and cook the entire meal while outdoors. You can build in a sink and garbage disposal, a place for a mini-fridge, and ovens and stove tops are even an option.
