3. Create an Outdoor Entertaining Space

Luscious lawns are excellent, but sometimes it takes more features to bring purpose to your backyard. Create an outdoor entertaining space to truly get the most out of the space. You can spend the money to build a large deck with expensive patio furniture, or opt for the do-it-yourself additions that take little time and very little money. A few of these ideas to renovate for outdoor entertaining are to:

• Place grouped seating options in a specific area, whether around a table, fireplace, or cleared-out section of the yard
• Add pillows to old benches to make them more comfortable
• Place lounge chairs in the sun to encourage relaxation in your yard
• Add small outdoor tables for ease of bringing food and drinks outside
