Being in a pandemic has made life difficult for everyone. It’s hard to even go outside and enjoy the fresh air anymore. You can always spend time in your backyard, but maybe it isn’t as comforting and cozy as you’d like it to be. Here are a few options to make your backyard a space that you actually want to spend time in.
- PATIO: Adding a patio to your backyard is always a great choice since it leaves your options open for all the different ways you can decorate the finished patio. You could go with a simple concrete patio, which is very affordable, and can be stained to add some vibrancy to your outdoor living space. If you have the ability to splurge a little, you can have flagstone placed into the concrete of your patio, and it gives a very natural and rustic feel. You could also use tile as the base for your patio, and choose from an almost infinite amount of styles, shapes, and colors, and have them arranged however you’d like to fit the aesthetic you want. Another option, which is highly recommended by our previous customers, is stamped concrete. Large stamps are pressed into the wet concrete and it gives it a pattern of almost anything you can think of, stone, brick, tiles, etc. It’s a super affordable option for those that want the expensive look without having to pay the expensive price tag. If you need help deciding on what would work best for you and your backyard, College Station Covered Porch and Outdoor Kitchens would be happy to help you decide.
- PERGOLA/PAVILION: Pergolas are ever popular, and they’re a great option for people who already have a nice outdoor patio but are looking to get some more shade. They usually consist of four pillars that support cross-beams or latticework. They provide a decent amount of shade without completely blocking out all the sunlight, and while they’re a simple structure, they can completely change the style of your backyard. If you want something with a little more coverage, you can always have a pavilion installed instead. It’s essentially the same as a pergola, except it has a completely covered roof and provides a bit more protection from the elements.
- SEATING AREA: Having a place to comfortably sit and relax is key to a backyard you’ll love. You have the option to do a table and chairs if you want to be able to dine, a couch and chair, living room-type set up for maximum comfort, or even both! Choosing various different colors and patterns can really give your space a lot of personality. College Station Covered Porch and Outdoor Kitchens can help you decide on a color palette for your outdoor space to match your furniture to the building materials used to construct your other features.
- OUTDOOR KITCHEN: Outdoor kitchens are truly one of the best ways to light up your backyard for those of you who love to entertain and cook for others. These kitchens can range from just a simple grill, to a full-service kitchen with storage space. You can choose exactly what you do and don’t want in your outdoor kitchen, and accent with the perfect countertops and cabinets that fit your particular style. For the chefs and hosts out there, this is a perfect addition to your backyard space. This is obviously a more expensive and extravagant option, but it’s totally worth it if you love cooking and entertaining. College Station Covered Porch and Outdoor Kitchens knows best when it comes to outdoor kitchens. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know so we can help you out.
- SWIMMING POOL: Obviously it’s a bit chilly out to enjoy a swimming pool right now, but come summer time you will thank yourself for installing a pool. College Station Covered Porch and Outdoor Kitchens doesn’t just do porches and kitchens, we are also a swimming pool contractor. Pools are great for everyone in the family and can make your backyard feel like a relaxing oasis if done right. It’s time to stop buying a new inflatable pool every year that eventually tears anyway and invest in something more long-term.
The possibilities are truly endless, and you can easily mix and match between any of these ideas to give your backyard the perfect makeover.
