Backyard Upgrades to Enhance Your Space
Our outdoor spaces, especially in Alaska during the summer, are the places where we want to spend most of our free time. Our backyard spaces are worth the time and investment since they are our secret oasis in a busy world. As a sanctuary, our backyards deserve to be turned into functional spaces. How can we enhance our space in new and unique ways? Here are a few ways we can share with you.
Add a slide
Integrating a slide into the backyard landscape is a unique way to create a fun environment for kids and adults alike. This unique upgrade can add personality to your landscape without taking up too much space.
Add a tree house or play structure
Kids need sanctuaries too! Play structures and tree houses are a great way to encourage outdoor play. Spending time outdoors promotes happiness and wellness.
Add a plunge pool
Just because you have a small yard, doesn’t mean you can’t have a pool! Small is trending. Adding a plunge pool to your yard is easier on the environment as well as your wallet. Plunge pools provide a quick place to relax without using too much water or taking up too much space.
Add a firepit
Outdoor fires are a great place to relax and enjoy our beautiful Alaskan nights. Including a firepit in your outdoor design or even upgrading to an outdoor fireplace can create a more formal outdoor living space out of your patio.
Add a sauna
Adding a sauna to your backyard can help you to create your own wellness zone. Sauna’s have a smaller footprint and when paired with a plunge pool you could create your own backyard spa.
Add an Accessory Dwelling Unit
Adding an ADU to your yard, or Accessory Dwelling Unit, is a great way to carve out a special space in a unique way. Some people call them “man caves” or “she sheds.” They are a way to add offices, fitness rooms, yoga spaces, creative spaces, studios and more to your outdoor space.
Add a pizza oven
Who doesn’t love pizza? Outdoor pizza ovens are a great way to cook outdoors and fully enjoy your outdoor space. Outdoor kitchens are a great way to create a functional outdoor space. Even if you don’t want a full kitchen, a pizza oven alone can be very inviting.
Add an outdoor bar
Who needs a bar cart when you can have a full bar? Adding a bar structure to your backyard can upgrade your outdoor entertaining overnight.
Add a hot tub
Hot tubs aren’t a new thought, but who wouldn’t want one? Hot tubs are now available in more styles than ever and can provide relaxation as well as style to your outdoor space.
Our backyard sanctuaries are a great way to enjoy our Alaskan outdoors from the privacy of our personal spaces. They are an amazing way to enhance our living spaces and create a beautiful place to entertain.
