Hanging baskets can have you feeling like you’re in a lush garden in Thailand in no time. All you have to do is install a few hooks and hang up your beautiful flowers, on display for all to see. You can choose to put blooms or herbs in the baskets..or both!
The perfect lighting will set the mood for your backyard experience. Even if you’re working with a smaller budget, mood lighting goes a long way without breaking the bank. There are lanterns, DIY luminaries, or LED candle lights. You can also drape a tree with white twinkle lights or hang stringers of clear bulb lights. Fairy lights in bottles or mason jars add a little bit of a whimsical look.


Nothing says staycation like building a nice fire in the backyard. There are several different outdoor fire pits that you can build, depending on what you’re looking for and your budget.
While we’re talking water, we’ve got to bring in the big guns. If you have a big enough backyard, you may be considering getting a pool or hot tub.

Add some water to your backyard and you’ll be feeling like you’re at a resort in no time. Listening to the water will also do wonders for those after-work stress headaches.
