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.<\/p>\n

Add a slide <\/strong>
\nIntegrating 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.<\/p>\n

Add a tree house or play structure<\/strong>
\nKids need sanctuaries too! Play structures and tree houses are a great way to encourage outdoor play. Spending time outdoors promotes happiness and wellness.<\/p>\n

Add a plunge pool<\/strong>
\nJust because you have a small yard, doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

Add a firepit<\/strong>
\nOutdoor 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.<\/p>\n

Add a sauna<\/strong>
\nAdding a sauna to your backyard can help you to create your own wellness zone. Sauna\u2019s have a smaller footprint and when paired with a plunge pool you could create your own backyard spa.<\/p>\n

Add an Accessory Dwelling Unit<\/strong>
\nAdding 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 \u201cman caves\u201d or \u201cshe sheds.\u201d They are a way to add offices, fitness rooms, yoga spaces, creative spaces, studios and more to your outdoor space.<\/p>\n

Add a pizza oven<\/strong>
\nWho doesn\u2019t 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\u2019t want a full kitchen, a pizza oven alone can be very inviting.<\/p>\n

Add an outdoor bar<\/strong>
\nWho needs a bar cart when you can have a full bar? Adding a bar structure to your backyard can upgrade your outdoor entertaining overnight.<\/p>\n

Add a hot tub<\/strong>
\nHot tubs aren\u2019t a new thought, but who wouldn\u2019t want one? Hot tubs are now available in more styles than ever and can provide relaxation as well as style to your outdoor space.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
