5 Top Ideas to Bring Your Backyard to Life

Whether you’re a first-time home buyer living in a Townhome or your own single-family home with a larger lot, we’re sure you've taken the time to get the best interior for your home. It's time to do the same for your backyard.


Unsure of what to do? We’ve compiled some ideas you could use to revive your new backyard and make it just as perfect as the interior.



1. Make The Best Use of Space

Whether your backyard is no more than a small patio or an expansive garden, the right design can turn your outdoor spaces into glamorous highlights.


If you have a small yard, perhaps all you need is a simple bistro table, some container plants, or a wall hanging to elevate the appearance of the space.


Or maybe your backyard is large and you don't know what to do with all of it. Consider what types of outdoor activities you enjoy. Do you like to entertain outdoors? Perhaps you have children or pets that use the backyard. Once you've identified your needs, you can begin to create a plan.


2. Grow a Garden

Many home owners have discovered the joys and benefits of gardening. You can grow anything you like, from flowers to herbs, fruits, and vegetables, while beautifying the space. Marshall Grain have the best quality native and adapted plants that can thrive in our North Texas climate. And our experts can help you choose the right plants create your perfect outdoor space.


3. Create an Outdoor Lounge Area

Why let that large space waste away when you can host guests in it? Consider adding a patio with some furniture like lounge chairs and a picnic table. You might add a walkway that leads visitors through your garden or an outdoor shade structure to provide shelter from the sun.


4. Explore Hardscaping Features

Hardscapes are permanent, non-living fixtures in the overall landscape, such as walkways, outdoor lighting, retaining walls, borders and edging, and patios. They are the bones that create texture and give your landscape an overall sense of design and purpose. “Softscapes,” on the other hand, are the living elements — trees, shrubs, flowers, etc. — that put flesh on the bones of your design.

A meandering path through your garden might be just the thing to



Incorporate Landscape Lighting

Consider also adding landscape lighting to your backyard to make it come alive at night. There are different types and colors of lighting for you to play with and turn your backyard into a nighttime wonderland.
