The warming weather and change in daylight can make you itch to make updates to your yard, so you might want to take some tips from Waunakee and Madison, WI areas landscape companies. They have a busy spring schedule preparing for outdoor projects that can inspire you. Here are some ideas they have for the coming busy season.
A Contemporary Entertainment Space
A fresh patio design can form the foundational piece of your new outdoor entertainment space. Imagine stepping out onto this custom paver patio where you have an outdoor kitchen with all the appliances for your greatest cooking masterpieces. Opposite the outdoor kitchen, there can be a fire pit where your guests can prop their feet in relaxation while they chat and spend time together before the meal.
Do you love the rustic look of a wood pergola to bring dappled sunlight to a particular part of the patio? Having some shade in the outdoor kitchen can keep you from overheating as you cook while covering the outdoor dining space with a pergola can bring shady spots and a cozy feel to your meals.
You might want to scout out examples of modern outdoor spaces by visiting home shows and browsing the internet. Not only can this help you narrow your preferences, but it can also help a landscape professional know what you like so they can point you to selections that inspire you.
A Stunning Multi-Level Patio
From a compact backyard to an expansive area that holds all the potential, you can have a multi-level patio that wows your guests and serves multiple functions. The very nature of having patio levels can ensure each outdoor space feels special.
Most multi-level patios place the main patio at the back door exit. You might prefer to have the outdoor kitchen on the main patio for easy cooking since access to any extra condiments and spices is right inside the door.
The second level can be where you place a relaxing set of couches that sit on either side of a custom fire pit. Since you can choose the fuel method of the fire pit—you can burn wood or gas—having a fire on a gorgeous summer evening can be as easy as lighting the fire and sitting back to enjoy it.
The final piece of a multi-level patio can be deep stone steps that intersect built-in stone planters that encircle the entire patio. The convenient steps can make going up and down to the yard safe and comfortable while the planters can draw attention to the array of plants, ornamental trees in bloom, and colorful flowers.
Extra Visual Interest
The retaining wall edges for the planting spaces can be graduated like steps to increase the beauty and interest. Think of tiny, pink phlox flowers spilling over the wall edges to soften the angles while evergreen trees planted in the space closest to the main patio create a living screen that stays green year-round.
Custom outdoor living spaces can add so much to your backyard by creating an oasis that is your personal dream. From urban to cottage charm, you can enjoy time outdoors in an outdoor space that reflects your style and delivers the ultimate in comfort.
