Are you making plans to create outdoor living spaces for your backyard? While there are many awesome ideas about making outdoor living areas complete with fireplaces and big-screen TV's, there are other basic features to make your outdoor living spaces both fun and functional.

If you're ready for some ideas, here are a few ways you can enhance your backyard with beautiful outdoor living spaces.

Garden Creations For Outdoor Living Spaces

If you're making improvements to your backyard, this is the time to consider what type of garden plants you want so that the colors and textures can be tied into the design of the outdoor living spaces.

The hard areas of the landscape need softening by the addition of living, thriving garden plants. This is why you'll hear the term, "softscaping," when a landscaper refers to plants and garden beds. Flowers, herbs, shrubs, trees, and ground covers lend a soft, living beauty to your outdoor living spaces.

Patio Big Enough To Entertain

If you want a way to enhance your backyard, a big patio is definitely the ticket. Imagine being able to entertain your family and friends in your nice new outdoor living space! Everyone can head outside to enjoy the weather when your house fills up with guests.

Be sure your new patio will be big enough to entertain. You know what you like to do when you have guests over, so make sure you have the wet bar or outdoor grill you need. Give your guests plenty or room to sit or stand and talk.

A covered patio lasts much longer than an uncovered patio. Consider asking your landscaping company to build a pergola over the patio for you. Pergolas are both beautiful and functional. You can entwine flowering vines in the pergola or choose to leave it open and breezy.

Interlocking Paver Pool Surrounds

Whether you have an in-ground or above-ground swimming pool, a paver pool surround would look amazing. The texture of concrete pavers adds traction to this most slippery of areas. Interlocking pavers can create any type of outdoor living space you want, but for around the pool, they offer safety as well as beauty.

Your landscaper can tie the look of your patio together with the new pool deck. Whether you choose natural stone or interlocking pavers as the material, it's going to give your backyard a complete custom look!

Water Features

No outdoor living space is as relaxing and enjoyable as one with water features. The sound of water dribbling from a fountain, bubbling from a brook, or cascading over a water fall is both comforting and beautiful.

The best water features look natural to the landscape and also tie in with the architectural style of your home. Ask your landscaper what options you have in terms of water features for your backyard makeover.
