How to Build the Ultimate Backyard Oasis
DO YOUR RESEARCH
Scope out outdoor living magazines, friends’ backyards, find inspiration from hotels, create a Pinterest board, etc. Do anything and everything to determine what you want in your oasis so you never think “I wish I had THAT yard”. This will also help you to make better decisions when it comes to the planning process, helping to reduce cost, delays in building and choosing the right experts, such as an experienced pool builder.
NATURALLY ENHANCE
Flowers, bushes and trees are an amazing, long term way to provide color and warmth to your backyard. Trees provide beautiful, seasonal ambiance and shade above your oasis. Flowers that bloom seasonally give your yard natural decor that changes year round. We love Japanese cherry blossoms, large rosemary bushes and perhaps a lemon tree or two for the warmer times of the year. Who doesn’t love a yard-to-table experience?
PRIVACY
Privacy is something rarely provided in many yards. We suggest adding tall, hedge fences for instant privacy. Plus they give your yard a European vacay vibe. Additionally, pergolas are a great way to add privacy and dimension to your space, creating different areas for the eye to focus on, as well as perhaps a more outdoor-indoor entertainment space.
