Is your backyard on the plain and boring side? If so, don’t fret—there are a number of ways you can enhance the look and comfort of your backyard using high-quality lumber, some professional advice, and a little bit of hard work. Here are three lumber projects to help bring out the best in your backyard:
Hand-Built Deck
Decks come in all shapes, sizes, and styles. A deck is a great way to bring aesthetic appeal to your home, and will create a comfortable space to hang out with friends and family. If you’ve never built a deck before, consider starting with a very simple on-grade deck. Begin your project with high-quality lumber decking from your local lumber retailer, and consider seeking decking design services to ensure that your deck is both beautiful and functional.
Stylish Patio Cover
Patio covers are a great way to make your backyard more interesting and comfortable. In addition to providing shade to your patio or deck, patio covers can function as standalone features or serve to cover a small garden. There are many different types of patio covers, but the most popular is the pergola, which has a lovely Mediterranean vibe that will make your yard feel just a bit more exotic. Talk to your local lumber retailer about designing the perfect patio cover for your home.
Quaint Garden Box
Finally, consider building a garden box to plant vegetables, flowers, and herbs that will add a little spice to your yard. Garden boxes are simple to make and only require a few pieces of lumber per box. They also make gardening much easier and cleaner, so you can get the plants you want without the dirty mess and hard work!
