Posted by MacKinley Clark Paving on July 20th, 2021

Does your outdoor space need a boost? Perhaps it is looking a little sad and outdated and it hasn’t been used for a long time. Here are the things that you can do for a successful outdoor space transformation:

Decide what you are going to do with landscaping

Your outdoor space should be a place where you can do a lot of relaxing. If the landscaping looks stressful, you will not want to hang out in it. Decide whether your existing lawn can still be used. If there are a lot of weeds and unruly vines growing, it might be time to get new sodding.

Find out if your plants need to be replaced as well. You can use hedge plants that are easy to care for and can provide additional privacy to your home. Decorate with tall plants and use smaller plants as fillers.

Make sure you have a visible pathway

Set up a pathway so that it’s easy to get around your outdoor space, even when the ground is mushy. You can get crushed gravel in Kelowna for a low-cost pathway. Crushed gravel in Kelowna can also be used to cover the soil in your hedging.

Set up a sitting and entertaining area

What is an outdoor space with a sitting area, right? You can use crushed gravel in Kelowna as the ground for the sitting area if you don’t have anything set up. Place your outdoor furniture on it. You can also add a firepit to enjoy in the cold seasons.

Make sure you have ample seating for you and your guests to enjoy. Arrange the furniture in such a way that it still encourages a good flow of traffic. You would want the guests to freely move around.

Consider adding amenities such as a cooking area

If you have more space in your backyard, set up a cooking area. You can have built-in cabinets and a cooking stovetop installed or set up a grilling station. Some people even go so far as to have an outdoor oven. You can set up a brick oven for all those outdoor pizzas that you are going to make.

Think about putting shade

Don’t expose yourself to all the harsh outdoor elements. Adding some form of a shade even if it’s just a sail shade can go a long way in providing comfort to your outdoor space. That can be your refuge from the harsh heat of the sun.
