If you’re thinking about a remodel to your outdoor space, be sure to read on for our best advice! Planning is key, and we’ve rounded up the most important parts of a redesign to keep in mind.
As with all remodels- there is a reason you’re looking to change things. Think about your current backyard experience; what’s good? And what’s not so great? Reflecting on what you have in mind for your ideal outdoor space is critical to proper planning. Would you prefer a screened in back porch or is a sun tent with mosquito netting in the middle of the backyard more your style? How will everyone keep cool or warm depending on the time of year? These questions and more can help guide you to a well-rounded plan for your remodel.
As much as you should plan what you want your space to look like, it’s just as important to consider who will be maintaining the yard. Depending on your physical ability or even interest in keeping up with maintenance will impact what your landscape design should be. If you don’t want to deal with a ton of upkeep, a professional can help with drought-tolerant and low maintenance design and installation. If you’re a gardening guru or want to be more hands-on with your outdoor living space, communicate that to your landscape design team and they will design accordingly.
Last but not least, don’t forget how you plan to light your new outdoor living space as well. The tone and warmth of your lighting will set the mood for every get-together or a calm evening in your backyard, so it’s critical to get the lighting just right to set the tone. Lighting truly is the key to getting the most out of the space. Be sure to spend some time thinking through lighting that complements your design in a functional way that also provides the ambience you are looking for.
