If you are looking for ways to get more enjoyment out of your backyard here are five luxuries that will provide beauty, entertainment and comfort:
1. Retractable Awnings: Long Island Awnings can help provide much needed shade if you like to sit on your patio without the glare and heat of the sun. Awnings come in a number of styles and can be custom ordered to suit your needs. They are retractable so you can still enjoy the sun whenever you like. You can have just one or have them installed in the areas around your house you like to enjoy some outdoor time in the shade. They also provide an upscale look to your backyard.
2. Water Features: A water feature brings a tranquil and welcome trickle to any yard. You can purchase a simple design that suits your taste and budget that can be plugged into an outlet or look for an option you can have installed as part of a major focal point for your pool, pond or against a wall. You can also add a pond to your garden with a waterfall or fountain for a lovely addition to any landscaping scheme.
3. Fire Pit: Not all yards can accommodate a fire pit and it is dependant on the laws in your neighborhood. However if you can have one safely installed they allow you to roast marshmallows in the summer and provide a place to snuggle up as the fall slowly approaches. They too come in a number of styles from free standing models purchased at your local garden centre to full stacked brick fire places installed by a contractor or landscaping company.
4. Kitchen: Outdoor kitchens are becoming more popular even in areas that have cold winters. More and more people are becoming appreciative of cooking mills outside and enjoying their dining al fresco. You can do something as simple as a gas barbecue or go all out and have counters and outdoor appliances installed. The sky’s the limit based on your budget and space.
5. Pagodas and Gazebos: These classic features add charm and elegance to any backyard. Pagodas have grown in popularity and are more open usually consisting of an open roof. Gazebos have full roofs and provide a permanent shelter from sun and rain and can also have screen installed to protect against bugs.
From Long Island Awnings to outdoor kitchens you are sure to appreciate any of these garden luxuries.
