What to Include in Your Backyard Remodel

May in Maryland brings the start of outdoor entertaining and outdoor dining. If your backyard looks a little drab, overgrown, or worse for wear, it’s time for a remodel. Or if you moved into a new home and the backyard is one big expanse of turfgrass, you’re likely thinking of how to use the space better.

Consider transforming your ordinary backyard into a spectacular space you’ll enjoy for years. We’ve compiled a list of the most popular projects to include in your backyard makeover. Let’s dive in!

Idea #1: Inground Pool

Turning your backyard into a personal pool paradise is one of the biggest ways a backyard remodel can transform your yard. Whether you opt for a fiberglass or a custom concrete pool depends on your tastes and budget. Think about how big you want your pool to be and what other outdoor living spaces you need to save room for.

Idea #2: Paver Patio

If you’re putting in an inground pool, you’ll need to consider the material you want to use for your pool deck. An upscale pool deserves an upscale pool deck and surrounding patio. 

Consider a new, larger patio using pavers, natural stone, or a combination of both. If you’re considering concrete, remember that it will eventually crack and doesn’t look as good as pavers or natural stone.

Idea #3: Outdoor Kitchen

Suppose you like to grill out and entertain outdoors. In that case, consider adding an outdoor kitchen to your backyard remodel. 

With a grill, prep counter, sink, refrigerator, and other options, you have everything you need right at your fingertips. Incorporate an outdoor dining room nearby for easy entertaining. Many people opt for a covered outdoor kitchen, installing a pavilion as part of the project.

Idea #4: Landscaping Overhaul

Last but not least, your landscaping likely needs a facelift. Consider creating garden beds to highlight your pool and patio areas. 

Choose low-maintenance plants so you can spend more time relaxing and less time mowing, trimming, and pruning. Work with an experienced landscape designer who can help you choose a garden design and appropriate plants to complement your new backyard.

Is a Backyard Remodel Worth It?

Most would answer that question with a resounding “Yes!” A quality backyard remodel improves the quality of life for you and your family. You expand your outdoor living and entertaining options. If you add an inground pool, you also add an easy way to get more exercise.

It’s especially worth it if you plan to live in your home for the foreseeable future. And, if you do decide to sell your home, an upscale backyard with an inground pool and outdoor kitchen can boost the selling price.
