To make full use of your backyard, you may need to create spaces to enjoy beyond just a walk in the garden. The following two ideas might inspire you to add a new way to enjoy the time spent in your yard.
- A hammock. If you haven’t already considered it, a hammock is one of the easiest projects to set up that gives new life to your yard. It can become a space to read in the fresh air, take a nap, or just a spot to lounge and relax. If you have two trees in your yard, it could be as simple as securing bolts and rope to them. Even without trees, some hammocks include poles that can be fixed into the ground, or even assembled temporarily.
- An outdoor kitchen is another idea that could bring a new activity to your yard. It could be a new space to hold dinners in summer, or simply a way to enjoy more cooking with less mess in the home. You could choose to have just the basics of a grill and table or have a full second kitchen space so you don’t have to be away from your guests while preparing a meal.
