How to Make Your Yard More Relaxing

In honor of National Relaxation Day, which is today (August 15th)! 💙

SIX WAYS TO MAKE YOUR YARD MORE RELAXING:

CREATE PRIVACY 👀
By adding a screen, pergola, lattice “wall”, fence, or even a “secret spot” to your outdoor space, you are creating a more intimate and serene area for you to enjoy. A perfect place to take a breather.

ADD A FIRE FEATURE 🔥
Fire adds a true relaxing ambiance to your yard. Hanging out around an outdoor fire pit is sure to calm your nervous system, as well as makes for a great reason to have a few friends over on the weekend.

INCORPORATE PLANTS 🪴
We love plants for so many reasons, but one biggie is that being around plants naturally improves cortisol levels in our bodies! Cool, right? Being added to a private outdoor area, they also help to reduce noise pollution and create a sense of privacy. Vining plants grow to act as a wall and other types of plants (hanging, potted, or in-ground) add dimension, texture, and easeful scenery to look at.

COMFORTABLE SEATING 🪑
In order to relax, you need to be comfortable, right? Outdoor furniture such as a couch, lounger, oversized chair, or glider will instantly take you to Relaxation Land! Remember, the more comfortable the furniture, the more likely you will spend time in your outdoor space.

MEDITATION AREA 🧘‍♀️
Yes, we understand that not everyone meditates, but creating a “quiet time” area will encourage you to step outside, get some fresh air, and just BE. A sanctuary, if you will.

VIBEY LIGHTING 💡
Creating a “vibe” or “mood” is the icing on the cake of relaxation! Whether you choose small fairy lights, solar-powered ground lights, or outdoor-rated dimmable lights around a pergola or tree, you will be able to enjoy your outdoor oasis late into the evening.

We can help you with any of these items and MORE! We can design something unique for you or go off of your visions entirely. Reach out to get started!
